"That in the opinion of this House,
the circumstances arising out of the
present war are such as to ;ustify the,
Government of Canada in exercising
su,nremC' control over the quantity
and destiny of our food exports,
thereby regulating the prices at which
bread, meat, and other food products
shall, be sold for home consumption,
while' at the same time directing that
aur surplus food exports should only
reach British or friendly countries."
On this motion Mr. J. J. Merner
DC .South Huron, spoke as follows,—
"Being a farmer, and representing a
farming. community, I desire to say a
few words upon this very important
question 1 would like to have a lit -
tie more information on the resolu-
tion that hras been laid on the table.
I
would like to know if the. hon.
member for Brantford, (Mr. Cockshut)
is tryitngg to get -after the fanner, or.
who it -is he is trying to hit, I be-
lieve that if the adoption, of this pro-
position should affect the farmer it
would inflict a great injustice on him.
I admit that at the present lime the
farmer is receiving a fair price `or his
Product but 'at the same time 1 do
not believethat the price that he is
receiving represents more than a good
living profit. I wonder if the hon.
member for Brantford lost much sleep
when the farmer was receiving a star-
vatioe price" for his butter, eggs and
other products. I am a farmer and .I
know that the farmer at the present.

at a price:that doges not pay him, coni

sumer is paying, too high a price foe
