There are two sources. The first is the increased postal rate in effect since 1915, and the second is the large number of inents, both, presedt and past. It is ehe'duty of the governmeuf to'rectify these conditions, and I sa;+that it is also their bounden duty: to do so without causing any hardship- to the civil servants who have only been the dupes of maladministration, ex- travagance and ,political 'patronage.

This sessivnt the government carte to us with load heralding of the reductions they were going to carry 00 in the civil service, in order to eliminate duplication ca tion of u P work, do away with overmanning, increase efficiency and decrease ex- penditures, 'rite estimates we have. been studying do not indicate any very great progress in that direction this year, and I may say I am rather glad of it. Mr, Speaker, I fully real- ize that we are traversing a period of financial stress in this country and. that theer was never a greater need for economy. But I also believe that ire cannot hope to achieve efficiency' and low costs in our civil service by the process of haphazard elimination which has been practised this year. I mean the reduction of staff here and there with the consequent chop- ping off of this or that partienlar piece of work. Furthermore, I do not believe there is a single hon, i neunbe• in this House, and probably it would be difiieult to find a single elector in the country, who, if he knew all the conditions, would want us to economize to the extent of a few dollars in the civil service at the expense of our contracts, written, verbal or implied, with the employees of the l)ouunion: It is not fair, nay, it is criminal, to engage young men or young girls, keep them for many years, oblige them to train in a lime ,f work which only the government does, and then release them 'with little or no compensation when it had been more or less definitely un- derstood that the employment would continue as long as the services ren- dered were efficient and the em- ployee continud lois good behavior. Take the young man who enters the service at a tow salary, gives of itis hest at small remuneration, and by constant application to his work at- tains a somewhat higher salary rate.. He has chosen the service as a ca- reer and fitted himself Inc a particu- lar line of work different from what is required by other employers. I claim that it is not fair -to dismiss Min after he has passed up chances of 'being successful in other work in order to accept government employ- ment, often at a much lower salary on the consideration that the work would he permanent, No, Mr, Speaker, efficiency, remov- al of overmanning and consequent economy will never 'be obtained by the method which has been employed in the service this year. Unless a propersystem. is adopted and worked consistently we can never hope to have Better conditionns, than we have to -day, Can any one honestly claim that civil servants are responsible for the conditions that exist? Is it the fault of the employee when the em- ployer engages him to perform work already being done in another de- partment or for which there is no need? Ts it the fault of the employee if the hems' of labor are limited to six and one half on •week days and font'. on Saturdays?

We realize that by increasing our agricultural production, we shall. benefit our man- ufacturing centres and sanely pro- vide for their expansion. Who will deny that greater population in the rural districts of the West and of the East of this country, greater agricul- tural production with its necessarily greater demand for manufactured goons is an economic necessity that will solve the majority of the prob- lems with which we are struggling to -day. These, and these only, are ,he considerations that have guided ter policy. Hon. members to my right must credit the farming popula- tion with very little intelligence when they endeavour to show . in this House and outside of it that we are trying to buy our return to this par- liament by a paltry consideration to individual farmers, and this at the expense of the manufacturing indus- try.

I repeat that civil ser- vants have not in any way been re- sponsible for the conditions that ex st to-tln that the government, both present and Hast, must shoulder the the responsibility and that any replicy whereby the innocent must suffer is unfair and unjust and betrays ys that . spirit of British justice of which we are all proud. I trust that the govern- ment will take kindly to my sugges- tions, and give them serious consid- er•atiolt. I now come, Mr, Speaker, to the last part of my remarks, We have been accused of representing only one element in this country. It is often stated that we are only inter- ested in the measures that will fie of immediate ,benefit to the farming community of Canada; that we are willing to sacrifice the interests of other sections provided that the farmer's desires are served. Let me say, 1'fr. Speaker, that if such were our policies -we would not deserve the name of Canadians. No, such are not our policies. We• are, on the contrary, interested in the welfare and progress of Canada as a whole, in the progress of our manufacturing industries as well as in the welfare of our farming communities. We desire conditions in this country which' will ,permit _suitable living and working conditions to obtain for our farm laborers and farmers, as well as for the artisans of our urban centres and our manufacturers. The movement responsible for our pres- ence in this chamber, however, was based on the unfair conditions that have long existed against the farm- ers of this Dominion, due,'no doubt, res to their practical tact: of representa- tion ep enta- s tion int the parliament of our country previous to the last election, Such an important section. was entitled to a hearing in this Palace of Laws and surely no one would maintain that in devising out' legislation their wel- fare should not be taken into account, To -day unfair conditions exist, and our efforts are directed to equalize conditions as between .all sections in so far as possible. How can farmers be satisfied with conditions such are are disclosed in the March, 1924, issue of the Prices and. Price Index Bulletin of the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, where it is shown, for exassiple, that the index number for grains bas risen from 100 in 1913 to 124.9 in 1923, and the index number for flour and milled products made from these saline grains has risen from 100 to 131,1'be- tween the.. same ..two years, but that, on the other hand, the tea, coffee, co- coa and spices that the farmers lust buy had risen to 201,0 in 1923 as against 100 In 1913; that the vege- tables he sold at 100 in 1913 brought him 157,7 in 1923, but that the hosi- ery for which he disbursed 100 in 1913 cost him 295.2 in 1923? Can be be expected to remain inactive ill the face of the index, price for hides, for instance, which' drooped- from 100 in 1913• to 80:9 in 1923, whilstthe leather made from. these hides has, risen from 100 to 116,3 betweenthe same two years, a dicerence against the farmer of 35,4?
