"Ori behalf of the Cariadian. people
1 welcome you, "eaid Premier Ben -
eat. This is a proud. day eor Canatea,,
tor in its 'capi'tal city are gaehered
delegates frene throughout the Brit-
ish. ,Eimpir,e, empowered to speak for
oneeonarter of the eareh's Population
anicl.',instructed to co-operate in, de-•
termininig a plan by whiele this great
empire may eonitinue its leaderehip
among the nations.
"This conference in Many ways is
unique aMong all Other aesembliesof
history. At no time have we been
faced with greater need for unsellfieh
and concerted action. At no time have
the' prospects of achievement been
more cer,fain. .,
"We meet in 'days when the ma-
chinery of world commerce'is out of
gear. International finatece has broken
down; the old-fashioned industrial life
the which we have grown accteetotned
has undergone a change. 'We move
toward a new economic order of
things. Our part in fashioning it de-
pends in tangle measure upon the out-
come of this coniference. Since the
prosperity of other years has feet us
we have been witness to the efforts
made in many/ countries throughout
this time of trial to recover the hap-
piness and plenty which, despite in-
tervenin'g troubles, we yet should
claim to be the ;birthright of us all.
And these heroic efforts, because they
failed os e but in part succeeded, do
not on that account commend them-
selves less warmly to us. They mere-
ly serve to show that recovery is he -
Pend the strength of any single na-
tion.
Recently at Lausanne the nations of
the old world by a like utesellfiehnesis
have, laid the foundation, of a better
tnedierstanding and have exchanged
old doubts and fears for a new con-
fidence and trust. To those who, out
of the seeming dissension of earlier
days of that conferepce have 1)rought
agreement, we offer our tribute of
sincere praise. And we rejoice that
there the representatives of the
motherland have tuaintained its tra-
Aldan as a sure .guide to whose wise
counsel and direction the world w ill
always be indebted. Lausanne detn-i
onstrates the force of united effort
directed toward the achievement of a 1
common purpose.
"We have a common purpose. We
have a supreme desire to achieve it
And there can he tio group of coun-
tries in the .wide world so capable of
united .action as are the countries
which comprise the empire

!Sir Abut Ohatterjee (India)—"The
Indian delegation has come to Ottawa
in the hope mei the belief that be-

enepire agreements can be reached
which will be nutteally advantageous
to the countries concerned and harm-
ful to none. It is in this spirit that
they will strive to play their part in
the work of th,e conference."
Premier Bennett submitted to 'the
Imperial Economic Conference Can-
ada's offer of wider prefences, what
Canada asked in return. reiter-
ated in principle his offer mode at
the London Conference of two years
ago and expanded it.
lOn the assumption that effective
operation of the agreement would not
be impaired by unfair competition,
Canada now proposed to grant to the
United Kingdom:
1, Extension of the free list.
2. Retention of the existing prefer -
in favor of Great Britain.
3. Increased preferences in respect
of a selected list of articles in which
Great Britain is especially equipped
to supiply the Canadian market with-
out injuring efficient Canadian enter-
prises.
In exchange Canada asked:
'I. The retention of existileg pref-
erences,
2. Their elfeective extension to those
other natural and processed products
of which the United Kingdom is an
importer.
The proposals were directed to the
United Kingdom, but "in principle,"
all the other parts of the empire
wherever its application will be mut-
ually advantageous."
"The agreement," Mr. Bennett de-
clared, "should he a lasting one. This
is not the time for ephemeral treaties.
We must decide our course and ,th
Follow it unswervingly-. An arrange-
ment terminable on short notice
would, 1 fear, have hut the effect of
inerelasing inetability. T hie proposal
is 'directed to the United Kingdom,
but in principle it is !offered to all the
other parts of the empire wherever
its application will be mutually ad-
vantageous. RVibh the two great
deeninions and !Australia and New
Zealand we have, within the past
year made trade agreements, which,
I believe, are already proving muttii
adeiontagelons. Those agreetnente
in the eight of this proposal may be
reviewed and, if possible, made more
comprehensive."
Mr. Benuett further proposed that a
conemittee should be set up to inquire
into the monetary question "with a
view to agreeing on some ptan to be
made the basis of o a cliScussion in a
huger world conference."
at. Hon, Stanley Baldwin, head 'of
the British delegation, made special
reference to Canada's offer, in these
Words: "I wish to thank the Prime
Minieter of Canada for his speech and
to say that we shalt look forward to
studying sympatheticaely the propos-
als in the eines he has laid down, and
we will do our best to co-operate with
good -will to accomplish the purpose
he has in .view."
"We hope," declared Mr, Baldwin,
"that as a result of chis conference,
we shall be,.able, not only to maintain
,eXisting preferences, but, in additio,n,
to find ways of increasing them.
There are two ways in Which ittcreas-
ed preference can' be given—either by

increase has been upheld by the court

east corner of Dunlop intersection.
Ili also owns a 11)0 acre glass farni.
There is a barn on the property. Re-
cently he made some improvements
on the old hotel, a nese roof and cor-
nice. This year Assessor William Sal -
lows increased the assessment on the
hotel property firain $550 to $700. "The
assessor's excuse," said Mr, Moser,
"is that he did not Make the increase
because I spent ell00. He says he
ixe-
tesded to make the increase three
years ago, but neglected to do so.
That sounds fishy to nee. That build-
ing was in a terrible condition. I fixed
it up intending to turn it into a reven-
ue producer if 1 could, I fell off the
verandah and broke an arm and .while
I was on the broad of my back my
neighbors (?) got out a petition to
block me. I don't like that."
'Mr. Moser's farm is assessed at
$2,500. It was reduced from $2600 by
the court of revision. The deputy
reeve claims it is still too high. 'He
says he paid $31100 for it when times
were good, hut thiat he would gladly
take $2,500 for it now. There is no
