It also pre- sented the Farm Debt, showing the iticrease from 1929 to 1931, while the value of the Farm Produce decreased making it impossible for the farmer to take care of his debts; which had been contracted. Mr. Scott stated that this was the reason that The Ellin- ers' Credit Arrangement Act had been passed, to reduce interest charges And mortgages.

Summing up his address, Mr Scott stated, he expected the domestic market in Canada is likely to be the best market.
