Mr, Garland (Bow River) : Your place is over here. Mr. McMillan: You people should comae to this side. Sitting where you are now you are only holding back the wheels of progress, whereas, it you took your places here you would. be able to help them on. As I caw, this is a problem which is staring tis in the fare and we must grapple with it. The facts are that throughout this Dominion agriculture is los3)131 the best and the brainiest young folk; from our rural homes, and it cannot lose then and prosper. It is far from my view of life that every youth born on the farm should remain there. I have discussed this matter with scores of our brightest young then, and they tell me the only yea son why they are directing their course elsewhere is because they can- not sec a sufficient margin of profit easily obtained on the home farm. That has been the case for years. It was the case when a bi deputation of farmers waited on the Laurier government in 1010, but it is great- ly aggravated today. In looking over the proceedings of that deputa- tion the other day I find I then made the following observation: f5 ��x ,�i,.'i,,.ti.ro as.rp rr . iA Z a- new: tt'1;.

The farmers are willing to meet any legitimate competition in the labour market of the country. Fre does not wish to underpay the work- man. His• desire is to remunerate them well. But when he is enan- pelled to face a statutory tarifl' pro- vision which takes from him annual- ly a margin of millions, and those millions aro employed an competing with him on his own home labour, he cannot stand an unjust ermuetitioll such as that. Those conditions are greatly in- tensified today. You may ask: 'Where are those millions of which you speak, obtained by our tariff beneficiaries with which they are able to compete for our agricultural lab - aur? In a moment or two I will give you one concrete instance, but the reply broadly is that other lines of industry are able to obtain their necessary requirements either free or at the lowest possible rates of duty. Why should the agriculturists be deprived of the sante privilege? Is the welfare of agriculture a mat- ter of such secondary consideration in this country that it should be re- quired to take subordinate position?
