THE BRUSSELS POST
, S. 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

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

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

I could stand here for hours stud
give the House fiugures to show that
the industrial life of this country is
prosperous, but We have now erriveil
at the time When,* as our former
great leader who has now passed used
to say, we do not need to quote fig-
ures to show that this country is proe-
peroue. 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

Australia.
Mr. CLARK: When did the Aus-
tralian treaty 'come into force?
Mr. McMILLAN: On October 1,
I understand, From New Zealand

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
