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 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?
Mr. Garland (Bow River) : Why
sloes not your party carry all that
