o t an was pro.,ably to fair example of
tats: advantage of the present stress
of circumstances for speculative nur-
pi res. but en the contrary to .affirm
our belief that Canada should steadily
persevere in the development of her
natural resources, not by speculative
booms .but extension of her produc-
tive capacity in foodstuffs and a;•tan-
ufactures"
Mr. Merne:, who, although oi' Swiss
parentage is Canadian bt rn, made en
interesting reference, in his address to
the European conflict.
"This war is certainly most •leplor-
able" he said. "We are all, I sup-
pose "sorry it has been brought
about., but I assure you the rnother-
lanFl has done her utmost to avoid it
ani' was unable to. do so, Since hey
are fighting, it is the duty of every
Caaadiau to assist the 'notherla.-id
the best we can. We may not =i1 be
fitted to go to the front, but we are
all able to be useful one way or anoth
er We can assist the widows and
orphans in the motherland, and those
of our own soldeers, and I trust that
we. as Canadian bays, will all do our
every best and stand by the Union
Jack."•
With regard to the Farmers' Bank
scandal Mr. Blain said that no mem-
ber of the House had worked hard-
er for the passage of the bill than
Mr Merrier. He .said that before the
Barak opened its . doors Finance Minis-
ter Fielding had been served with a
remit mat to allow the charter to be
granted. The defeat of the bill in
the Hawse of Lords was a great dis-
appoia&tment.
Mr Eilbex paid a tribute to the
qualities of Premier Hearst, and. fol-
laive�-t. with a statement in regard to
variou- rumors that he, one of the
eldest members of the Legislature,
was to be appointed to the Cabinet
oar some provincial office. I hove been
