able homes to the millions for which
it is looking? Sir, the question car-
nets. its own answer. We do not ask
a preference, but if there is a pref-
erence going,- agriculture should
have tient preference, and in no ease
should agriculture be discriminated
against. Agriculture employs one-
third of our gainfully employed pope
ulation. Therefore it follows that a
successful ct;;rteultnre means a pros-
perous nation. Moreover, it le• the
first principle in this tariff that those
manufactured p,enele which are ex-
poted to foreign eoilntrnes are given
a drnya-back equal to from 60 to 99
per vent of the raw material used.
That provision .gives to the r, nidi its

any such equivalent? The agricul-
tural industry is by far tit: greatest
exporting agency we have got.
Where iv it allowed any drawback
on its product exported? Absolutely
none. The only way by which you
can allow any such compensating'
advantage its to give to agriculture
its ncessary requirements free. And
implements are only one of the hun-
dred and one other thing: in Use
line of machinery which the farmer
requires which all carry a tari,'f !me-

pointed out that there was clear evi ing, than that :any of these other in-
cknee that the manufacturers wee° dustries should be able to grow
wealthy at the expense nt agricult•
are and the general roi).uuting pub-
lic? We have abundant economic
proof that agriculture is not as pros-
perous as it ought to be? We aro all
agreed that at the moment we have,
generally speaking, prosperous tines
in this- country. Apart from the
capital now in Canada seeking in-
vestment, foreign capital is rushing
in by the hundreds and millions,
Where is it being invested? We have
just passed the new year, and we
have noticed wcttos galore expatiat-
ing on the good tines the country is
enjoying and the fine opportunities
for the idivcstinlent of capital. Hive
you noticed anyone saying that capi-
tal, in large amounts is rushing in
for profitable investment in our rich
ap'rieoltu'nl lands, the finest natural
ascot this country possc.eos. Yet
that is where we all agree that more
of our people ought to be and, More-
over, if tate people could see a euffe
Tient margin easily obtainable, 'hat
is whore they would be: You could
not keep them off the farms; they
would be falling over each other to
get on the land.
If we are desirous of seeing more
of our people on the hued, why stand
shivering on the brink of doing what
ought to be done? The vital import-
ance of euecessfnl agriculture is such
that farming is far more than an in-
dustry. The significance of agricul-
ture in the life of this nation is Oct
deeper than this. Employing ae it
does about one-third of our gainfully
employed population, it touches
something really vital and funda-
mental in our national existence. It
involves the continued national ,n,oc-
perity, the economic welfare, the
racial character, and the social pro,
gres of the Canadian people. We
must as a people determine, and it
is the duty of this house as the ser -
vents of the people to determine,
deliberately and wisely the role: we
wish to leave agriceulture play in our
national economic life. Now is the
time to decide. You canot do this
kind of thing during periods of dull
times. You can do it only when
times are prosperous and trade is
in some cases taking full advantage
of the tariff, and yet, according to
their story, it is absolutely impossible
for them to survive. Have they sur-
vived? Yes. Is the Canadian Cot-
tons, Limited, doing well? This Is
their financial statement as summar-
ized i1 the Financial Times;
"The balance snot ox Canadian
Cottons, as of March 31, 1927, shows
a su17r)us of $2,737,508 equivalent to
over $100 a share on the 27,155
shares •of common ,tock. In addition
there is shown among their liabilities
an item of $600,000 for special re-
placement reserve, despite a gener-
ous reserve for depreciation. If this
sunt was added to the surplus the lit-
ter would be shown to be equal to
123 a share on the common stock:"
Yet they would teem us to believe
that they are going broke..
Let us consider the Dominion Tex-
tiles. Limited, the story of which
company records some of the most
remarkable adventure to Canadian
financial and industrial history. The
present owners paid $000,000 for
stock with a par value of ;15,000,000.
Year after year they paid dividends
on its par value. Then to the stock
went up in price they gave to every
holder of two shares the right to
purchase en additional share at par
when the stock was selling far above
per. A year ago they split the stock
in three; that is, every shareholder
got three shares for one, and today
that stock sells on the market for
$130 a share. The company has a
capitalization valuation of $29,000,-
000, and in all the years -since it was
formed only $3,000,000 has been
paid for the stock. If we measure
the profits paid today against the ac-
tual amount of cash paid by the at'-
the actuat
ieinal owners, we find
earnings of Dominion Textiles, Limit-
ed, to be in excess of 220 per cent.
But that is not all. How fared this
company in the hour of the nation's
peril when it was expected that every
citizen and more particularly every
wealthy corporation should be doin
