In a lengthy article in the Toronto Daily News recently Professor Swan- son of Queen's University dealt most thoroughly with the question of agricultural development and land settlement. He referred to the prob- lems which will arise after the war with the return of the soldiers and the break-up of munition plants. The professor pointed out that the great obstacle to the rapid settlement of New Ontario lay in the lack of capital, even to induce them to accept free land grants. Sir Edmund Walkers President of Lhe Canadian Bank of Commerce, has pointed out that "banks are expressly and deliberately prohibited from so doing (making long term loans to farmers) since, by their very nature, their assets must be in liquid form." In the face of this authority the responsibility for the farmers of Ont. ario getting the financial assistance they require seems to more than ever devolve on the government at Toron- to. Legislation has been enacted with the object of providing govern- mental assistance ; but as Professor Swanson remarks, "as yet little or nothing in a practical way, has been attempted under this legislation." Much depends upon the financial help rendered to the farming com- munity to secure Ontario's future prosperity. It is not enough for the government to pass legislation pre- sumably to avert suspicion from its actual inactivity, the ogriculturiets of the province are demanding that vigorous action be taken to aid them in developing the agricultural re- sources of the province, which repre- sent the basic industry of the country. The great fire in Northern Ontario calls for immediate action on the part of the government, not only to peo- vide relief for the sufferers, but to pot forth real efforts to meet the problem of lire protection, and furnish monetary assistance fne the thorough opening up and development of this expansive and fertile region. Mrs Rowell, the Liberal leader'who is at present in Evance, cobled his deep regret at the distressing loss a ' life occasioned in the recent fires, and expressed a desire to co-operate with the Government in relief measures, Jas.
