Huron, Speaks at tiawa, WORKS FOR EST INTERESTS Following is the epeech of Thomas 'alC.Millan„ M.P., for South Huron, and well known to a geeat many in North Htmon, taken from the official report: t.Mr. Speaker, may I aleo, in open- inc. eongratulate you on your re- eleetion to the high position you or- e -allied 7n tilt- last parliament? I can ..3,,141%• you idea I cherish eeiry piens, an: memories of our meetings togeth- er ie yeaes gene by. I remember yeer confiai greeting and your hearty handebsike Wht'n LI;a',1 to t11.. .it' 8:4 in couneil with our :treat leader Of former days and -listen to his word, of wisdom and adviee .es to our diet- ies and i()1141t1.,. lIs Cansullaii worde fail to exprees my. pleneetn that 4uring this ear went yog ere :main to 1111 with dig- nity and greee the office of the speek• eeship, with myself as a bumble 4110.11- ber. • Ae Lew member, and one who 'gene inexperienced in parliamentary life. may I erave the indulgence of the House with reepeet to whatev, I shall have to eay to -night? In studence the returns of the reeent general eleetion. M which none of the recogeized parties had a clear majority in the House, nad 1.14 Vit'W Qf the fact that the Inge of protection was the leading issue be- fore the eountry, I feel that the Rt. Ben. Plime Minister took high and safe ground in his decision to carry en. summon parliament at the e4:11 - est day, and in the meantime to re- frain from making any appointments to office or committing the govern- ment to any course of action. The sane judgment of any man should teach him that •under the circumstan- ces, under our system of responsible government, .the sensible course was to remain in office and carry on until the representatives of the people should meet and register their decie- ion. That decision has already been recorded, and as one who fairly un- derstands the viewpoint of our west- ern people, and as well the agricul- tural interests of Canada, I can tes- tify that the decision of our western friends has not been lightly taken. No class of representatives could have given the inatter more careful consideration; none could have re- alized more fully the consequences of their action, and I commend their decision. 1 do not believe the cowl - try wants another election immediat- ely if it is possible for the business of government - to be carried on. If ever there was a time when it is the first duty of the representatives of the people to get down to business 1 and to put country before party, to act regardless of political leaning, ' that time is now. Every student of Canadian conditions knows that Can- ada, with its wealth of natural re- sources and the unfolding of those 1 resources going on apace, stands at the threshold of a wonderful develop- 1 'meat; and to the people's representa- tives in this House for the time beim: i the torch has been thrown to guide that development aright. Sir„ much has been said regarding the record of this government, and •after reading the public utterances of the right hon. leader of the op- •poSition (Mr. Meighen) throughout 'the country, I was really amused at •the gentle, dove -like amendment to the Address evhich he proposed the oth.er night. It reminded me of my boyhood days when our teacher used to train us in the art of writing mot- ions. He would proceed in this wise: One, write a motion which might :seem much but mean little; and two, write a motion which might seem tle but mean much. The amendment of my right hon. friend belongs to the latter Omen and it can only be in- • terpreted in the light of his many ut- terances throughout the length and breadth of this country. In view of this contention we might well ask what is the present uational situation under a Liberal govern. ment., The Liberal governmett, , der a penny of thrift primarily for revenue purposes but still carrying too much proi•eetion; facing uncon- trollable eXpendituree of from two hundred to three hundred million dol- lars per annum; facing also a most serious handicap in the control and management of the civil service, and an eannual loss of almost eighteen milliene in revenue due to the issue of non-taxable bonds by previous goverpmente, has been able in four yearseto reduce the annual expendi- .turee by .$114,000,000. It lightened the tax burden of the people by 1(e111'- ly175,000,000 per annum below that of 12l, 0.41(1 at the same time, with- out taking the National Railwaye into nceeunt, it has 'beet able to reduce the national debt, as at the end of the lest Anemia year,' by some StS,- 000,000. Considering the most dife AMR- litianchil . sitnation Which tide ,goVernMent hod to face 'on as -ginning Office -eel inn not . into it ebe- eattee every stttdont Of the no:Weal life of We country know9 itee-this is a record of which any governmeut might be .proud. I have mentioned the Canadine National Ruilwars. Muth has been said in the House regarding thie eub- ject, and while it is our duty to dis- miss the condition of the National Inzilways, yet, Sir, I believe le le a mistake in parliamentary discuesioa to mix up the business of the Nanen- al Railways with the general nubile bueiness of the country. If this Parliament will simply let the pre- sent management of the National Railways alone. stick to its own spec- ial work und to this the world's greatest experiment in public owner- , ship a fair chance to make good, as ' parliament agreed to do, the manage- ment under Sir Henry Thornton ern no doubt work out its, own salvation. The figures I have given show that the tax burdens of the people are al- ready beeoming lighter. Under this government times are improving. I thought that we bad heard the last in this House of the wail of distrss res;,:ecting the condition of the coun try. but it has started again to -day. eay coedit:ions are improving: The entnadian dollar has risen in value. it is nosy worth almost as much as, if not more than, its face value in ; any other country in the world. It I was not always so. In 1921, when ;the Meighon government was in paw - 1 er, the Canadian dollar was only I worth from 85 to 87 cents on the ;New York exchange. But times have I changed and the dollar is at par to- day. Why is that so? Becanse 1 the aggregate the Canadian people Iare prospering. They are selling ; more goods than they are buying, and thus financially they are becom- ing better off. Their credit is good. Canada's national credit is good, be - 1 cause the Canadian people are :selling 1 or exporting more goods than they . are buying, and they are also en- couraging international trade. It was not always so. In 1921, under the former government, we were im- ;porting or buying more goods. than 'WI, were selling and our unfavorable trade balance amounted to over 000,000. Our trade records art- ; growing and expanding in the right I direction. While for the financial year 19214922 our aggregate for. eign trade amounted to some 51,- 501,000,000, yet for the fiaancial year ending March 31, 1025, it had. ;grown to over $1,878,000,000, with e favorable trade balance of over $214,000,000. And if you take the I figures for twelve months ending ; October 31, 1925, you will find it has grown to over $2,053,000,000, with a favorable trade balanee of over $331,000,000. This phenomen- al trade record shows that this coun- try is prospering. The again turn to the Canadian etock market, which is regarded by business men as a reliable business barometer. When toe prospects are good and underlying conditions are sound the market price of leadine bank and industrial stocks go up. I have before me the quotations for a number of wen -known Canadian com- panies showing the prices of their stocks in the open market as of September 15, 1921, and September 15, 1025. As it would be unintel- ligible, Mr. Speaker, if I were simply to go over all these quotations, I ask that this table be inserted in Han- sard In order that every Member may have the privilege of studying and verifying the figures which go to show that our business And induetred life is in a healthy condition, This table is as follows: September September 15,1921 15,1925 Bank of Montreal . $205.00 8259.00 Royal Bank of Can- ada 1913,00 238.00 Bank of Conunerce 184,00 213.00 Canada Cement Co. 54.00 1013.00 National Trust Co. . 199.00 225.00 Toronto General Trust Corporation .. 198.00 2115.00 Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. . 15.00 • 111.75 lefeeeereefetterfefefendetentee. efestc+40.9"47•141 X hea Peas and Oats V, ANTED FOR MILLING All Kinds Flour and Feed Mt ha 11 ti if„ CI Hemphill Phones W R DX ET E 72 Fleur spilt Pon rul eft Residence SO or 62 In*Yetets44,144.44.444+004tenietee.nite Hollinger Consolidated 1 Gold Mines , 7,85 14,95 !

Canada le a good country in whieh to live. Canadian savings per head of its population rank among the highest in the world, con - eider the life. insurance carried in Canaila—that also is a good businoes barometer, There was held by Can- adians in Canadian life insurance companies in 1924, insurance to th1 amount of $3,784,000,000, an in- crease .of 3829,000,000 over that of 1921. In 1924 we paid over 3130,- 000,000 in annual life insurance p1'e- /mit:1ms, an increase of over $31,- 000,000 as compared with 1921. During 1924, it will be interesting to note, life insurance increased by over $500,000,000, and according to the latest returns for the past Year. 1925, it increased still further by some 3800,000,000. This is indis- putable evidence that the people are prospering. And over and above this 3130,000,000 of savings in the form of insurance premiums, and large amounts otherwise invested, we find, in the form. of deposits in the chartered banks of Canada, nearly $170,000,000 more than in the twelve months previous. This information all goes to show a favorable trend of business, tremendors expansion in Canada's trade. Now this is not the result of accident; it is a condition that has been aided by means of a well-defined Liberal policy which has (1) enforced, so far as it could, the most rigid economy consistent with efficient public service; (2) reduced the tariff and consequently the cost of many of the requirements of home and family; (3) reduced the duties on implements of production requir- ed in the development of natural re- sources; and (4) obtained more fav- orable Marketing conditions abroad., This government realizes that Can- ada can no longer continue to live to itself and that through the medium of internatienal trade and commerce we have become citizens of the world. And in the course of this Dominion's progress Canadians have been findingmarkets for their goods in almost every country on the globe. In connection with the fat cattle trade, it may be interesting to ob- serve that when I sent my own cattle to Glasgow in 1921 it cost me no less than $45 a head in freight rates, and when I landed them in the Glasgow market there were no suitable con- ditions for taking care of these cat- I tle, and it was necessary to slaughter , them within ten days of their arrive ; al. The honmember for IVIarquette (Mr. Mullins) rather amused Inc the other day when. he suggested that this government deserved no credit for the removal of the embargo. I was wondering whether he had ever heard the story of the three frogs. Two old Scotchmen were talking out- side the hotel when one of them said to the other, "Tell me, Sandy, if you saw three frogs on a log out there and one of them took the notion to jump off, how many wonld be left?" Sandy of course said therewould be two. But he was wroeg, according to his friend. "There would be three still," be said, "they only took the notion to jump off." That is the W040 with our friends opposite; they only took the notion to get the em- bargo removed and they nursed that idea for thirty ;mats. The only dif- ference is that through the wise dip- lomacy of the Hon, P. C. Larkin, an appointee' of this government, in co- operation with the officers of the De. partment of Agriculture, the .preeent government not only took the notion to jump off but did- actually jump off and do the trick. Mr. MULLINS: Had not the em- bargo been removed before the Hon, Mr. Larkin went to London? Mr, MeMILLAN: No, Mr, MULLINS: -You are .thite informed. Mr. McMILLAN. - Not at idle 1 think I know as much about the em- bargo and just about as much about shinning cattle to the Old Country as -does 10140' hon. friend, I learned the btisiness as a boy and I have fol- lowed the trend of the • British Mar - tete for over twenty yeaes. I ought therefore to know something about the subject, , NOW '41-otW1thatanding The plea made by Mr. Relent Porky, M.P., leader of the Progres- sive party, for a spirit of co-opera- tion in tho present political crisis, in the intereet of the country, 40411 a noble u•tterimce. If' some of the oth- er politicians are wise they will heed It. More exhibitions of partizanship are likely to be visited with the wrath of the electors on the occasion of the next election. the fact that the freight rate on cat- tle has been reduchd from $45 .to 320 a head, coneidering that in years gone by we did have a rate as low as $7.50, it must be admitted that the present rate is still far too high. lely hon. friends across the way amuse me immensely. You know, a great deal depends upon whether people know just when to jump off the log. Right after the election the leader of the opposition and a good many of his friends jumped off and thought that they could persuade the mem- bers of the government to do. like- wise. But the government said. "We were off the log and we have got back on again and this is no time to re- peat the performance. If there is any more jumping-off to be done it is the representatives of the people in this parliament duly constituted who will instruct us whether to jump off Or not." When I look around this House and see my Progressive friends— An hon. MEMBER: Brothers, Mr, McMILLAN: Yes, and I am proud to call them brothers; they are brother representatives of the agricultural interests of the west. When I see these gentlemen and hon. members in other parts of the house, who represent not only the agrieul. tural life of Canada but other in- terests as well, all supporting the government, I do not think that 'mem hers on this side need pay very much attention to the cries of hom gentle- men of the opposition to jump off the log. My hon. friends on the govern- ment benches may rest, I think, hi peace. An -hon. MEMBER: That would bury them. Mr. MeMILLAN: I know that if the representatives from the city of Toronto and neighborhood could bury them they would have been buried long ago; but Toronto does not re- present tlie whet° province of On- tario. 141cQUARRIE: What about British Columbia? Mr. McMILLAN: What do you want to know about British Columb- ia? This government realizei that in order to find markets and encour- age trade with the people of other nations, that trade must be recipro- cal. We must follow sound econom- ics, If we are going to encourage trade with °thee nations we must be ready to accept their trade in return. I heard 501010 01 our hon. friends op- posite tell us the other day that an these treety and trade arrangements had boon a nuisance,. yet, Sir, I be- lieve that not only are they a benefit to the peo-ple of the countries con- cerned to -day, but they will continue to be a benefit in the years to come. Now, my hon. friend wants to know about British ciolumbiti, and no doubt he is referring to the Australian treaty. I have the facts regarding that treaty and the importation .of butter that my lion, friends opposite , have been talking. about, . The only' place Whole., they could get any n- eer& was in the newspapees---and newspapers will never refuse ink. I have the returne .here from the %M- enu of Statistics, Vor the three monthe up to the end of November not one- pound of butter tenni, from Australia. Mr. CLARK: When did the Aus- tralian treaty 'come into force? Mr. McMILLAN: On October 1, I understand, From New Zealand iniperted 38,100 pounds of ittite ter.

A., Principal Free = Employment = Service meensteemmersweee.eeeleee men must be misinformed; four mil- lion pounds came in last week. Mr. McMILLAN: 1 am saying ne far as our records go, and they are up to the end. of November. But even if 801110 butter is coming in and selling at 0 lower prise:, who is it go- ing to benefit? An hon. MEMBER: Not the farm- er. Mr. McMILLAN: Is it not going to benefit the working people who would rather buy a second-class article at a lower price? . An hon. MEMBER: What • about oleomargarine? Mr. McMILLAN: I guarantee that if the hon. gentleman who is talking can get fresh Canadian buttet he will not buy Australian butter that has come through the tropics and has been in transit for six weeks. Every wide-awake farmer in the dairy busi- ness realizes where his markets are and is always looking to those .mar- kets. When we can meet the butter of Australia and New Zealand in the British market, and beat it, 'if we cannot meet it in ouv own home mar- ket where we have the advantage of a cent and a half in freight and one cent per pound duty on the imported article NVe are not worthy the name of dairy farmers. If my hon. friends can find no better objection than that undoubtedly they are hard -driven for an argument. Mr. CAMPBELL: Will not the same argument apply to the manu- facturers? Mr. McMILLAN: In so far as our manufacturers are concerned, we want a healthy spirit of competition under fair conditions, and that is what the Liberal party has always tried to give them. We do not 'ant any of the high protection that is be- ing advocated at the present time in some quarters, and possibly before I get through I shall be able to deal with that subject. Mr. McQUARRIE: May I ask a question? Mr. McMILLAN: Certainly. Mr, McQUARRIE: How does the 'hon. gentleman justify the provision in the Australian ,treaty whereby if Canadians desire to send eggs to Aus- tralia they have to pay a duty 01 118 cents a dozen whereas Australians can send eggs into Canada dutylfree? Mr. McMILLAN: It will be a king day in this country before we will think of shipping eggs to Australia. There is a far better market near by. It does not make any difference to our farmers how mucli duty the Australian government puts on eggs; that is not a world market for the egg production of this country. Mr. SPEAKER: I would remind lion. members that while the non. gentleman who has the floor may al- low questiors, yet the Speaker may interfere to prevent interruptions because when those become too fre- quent they are not conducive to the decortim of the House and tend to retard debate. It ie in fairness to 110W members especially that t ap- peal to hon, gentlemen 011 both sides to exercise due vestraint. Me, MCMILLAN: .Canada has be- came a world -trading nation. With first with $224.28; the old Mother ! Country with $194 comes second; that high protective country to the south, the United States, is away down the list with $72.08. What I have already said is sufficient to ehow that under the guidance of a Liberal government Canada has been phteed upon the path which is leading to another great tide of national pros- perity. Why is this? Because, so Inc as opportunity and c.onditions will permit, this government has been trying to do justice and give a chance in life to the common, bard working people of this country, to the men and women who are laboring at the very foundation of our national pros- perity—to the fernier, the miner, the lumberman, the fisherman, and all others who are busily engaged in the development of our national resour- ces. And of an of these industries the very greatest is agriculture. Take up the isenes of our public press from day to day and glance over the state ments of the heads of our railways, our great financial institutions and our business ,concerns and notice how their eye are constantly fixed upon the condition of agriculture. They know that in Canada agriculture is the great barometer of trade, and just as agriculture and the other nat- ural resources develop and succeed, that success will encourage and set iin operation the other great indus- tries which binge and depend upon them.. One of my hon. friends zeroes the door told us the other day that if town life and city life were pros- perous the farmers would be pros- perous. His only mistake was that' lie put the cart before the horse. Now Sir, that is what this government is trying to do. An hon. MEMBER: What, put the cart before the horse? Mr. MeMILLAN: No, to develop the natural resources of this country and to encourage and build up the industries depending on these re- sources. Is that not the right view- point for any Canadian government to take,•and the outlook which ought to be encouraged by the representa- tives of the people here assembled? But our friends are not satisfied. They tell us, as the hon. member for South Winnipeg (Mr. Rogers) told us to -day that they are not satisfied with the raw materials being shipped across the line and the manufactured products coming back. What are the facts? I have the figures here. In 1921-2 the exports of 'principal manufactured goods from Canada to the United'States amounted to 3107,- 000,000. In 1924-25, the last fin- ancial year, they amounted to ever (Cohtinued on page 5.) Cranhrook Property for Sale 22 aara, cif land adjoining the Village of Ortinbrook io offered for Bele.
