take it. I haps net but we may have
to take it. runt ponder that 01 your
mind.
I ,submit, Mr. Speaker, new that
we are giving assistance to industry
for the manufacture of necessary war
materials, •that immediate- considera-
tion should be given to agricultu1e,
in order that, we may aehdeve full pro-
duption, under proper guidance sad
with the responsibility on • the gov-
ernment for such surpluses as may
exist from time to time. Such a 'plan
can work for agriculture in the same
manned as for other industries if
practical • men are chosen to frame
and adanindster the necessary legisla
tion. Our agricultural resources; pro-
perly organized, ,c -an and will play a
vital part in this nation;'' war effort.
We as farmers wish to ,serve and sac-
rifice equally with all other 'people of
this dominion, but we ask that poli-
tics be thrown aside and that when
the government establishes commit
tees for the administration of agricul-
tural problems their personnel include
practical farmers, men who wont know
whether the proposed poliicres and
programmes are feasible. Do not for-
get that when you are helping agri-
eulture you- are helping every mans
woman and child in Canada. •
First, in regard to agriculture we
need a clean-cut federal government
farm programme as to what products
are Deeded' during war time. •In other
words, take the farrier into the de-
partment's confidence and let him
know the facts so that production' can
be maintained on an even keel.
Second; the majority. of the farmers
are dissatisfied with the present set-
up in regard to bacon. There has mot
been, nor is there• now, any control
over the production of bacon. That
has resulted in over -expansion anaa
bas disarranged marketing. Some
kind of bacon productiptu code is need-
ed for the farmers, and then full re-
turns from the packers of the old
country price.
Third, we' need a- macre effective and -
cheaper method of selling farm mar
ohinery priced in relation to farm
production.
Fourth, we should 'have federal su-
pervision over ,health standards of
animals sold' at clammmunity sales.
Many .cattle and hog diseases are, be-
ing spread in, healthy communities by
outside animals brought in without in-
spection and sold in healthy areas.
Fifth, we must `•have an increased
use for army purposes of Canadian
apples and honey, pork and beans.
Sixth, there is • the - old • story re-
garditrg domination of live stock'mar-
keting by a group of powerful pack-
ing house plants•In Toronto; result-
ing 'in the farmers having little or no
say in the .marketing price of their
animals. The sale of cattle and • hogs
direct to plants each week satisfies a
large proportion of the packers' needs
whish xn ars" that they are not • keen
to hid" on lots in the union stockyards
wh,igh is supposed to • he a. competi-
tive market. Marketing plants in
their present setup and yearly pro-
fits need government investigation.
Seventh, I would ask the minister
why Ocitario was not represHented on
the Canadian bacon board when On-
tario produces one -'half or more of
the total production of hogs. in Can-
ada.
anada. Further, ) would ask why the
bacon producers of Canada were pen-
-alized by the government through ne-
gotiations with the United States
which allowed' large quantities of
United States bacon to come in here
to offset the fur trade of Canada. I
do not think that was fair to agri-
culture. -
Coming from a rural district, Might
I say that our people are willing to
make any sacrifice within,, their pow-
er to preserve the institutions of
democracy and to hear any burden of
taxation imposed by the government
just as long as that government by
its actions and through 'its policies,
demonstrates to the people 'of Can-
ada that the moneys so collected are
not being wasted on people and pro-
fits as a reward fpr their party ad-
herence. I could cite a feud cases,
but I will just warn •the government
that it will be they who will have to
answer for dome of the unnecessary
appointments that they are making.
We thave heard many complaints
from farmer members of this house
and, I am glad l say, lately from
some hon'... members wiho are not afar-
nmers, as to the way bh.e government
is allowing farmers' to be imposed
upon. We never did get est fair deal
from any government, least of all
from this lone, but ...no one has ven-
tured to tell the reason. To; my mind
the reason des a simple lane. Campaign
funds are much more conveniently.

self on record as registering my pro-

At this late ,-hour I can only reiter-
ate what a great many other hon.
members have asked; that free trans-
portation be granted our enlisted
men who are an official leave for the

be asking too much to recommend
free transportation for .Christmas
leave as well. Surely our •soldier& de-
serve this consideration. I would like
to impress upon the minister the im-
portance o•f this request, •
_
The Minister of Agriculture (Mr.
Gardiner), during 'lids address on No-
vember 14, as reported at pages 108
and 109 of1- andard, referring to .unr
employment, stated tibat there was
unemployment for practically all the
defeated candidates of the opposition
side of the house.' May I remrind the
hon. gentleman that such was"not the
case as far as the defeated members
on the government side are concern,-
ed+. We find some of them, being
placed in very 'unnecessary jobs• at
large salaries. Why should so much
money he spent in advertising the
war effort of, this government? If
their efforts were one hundred per
cent: genuine, it would not require
government heelers to advertise its
programme. God forbid utast ..we
should have government" lieelers to
contend with, on top of our all too
heavy war. responsibility.
We appreciate the efforts of the
minister of Trade and Commerce (M -r.
MacKinnon) in this government.
From a personal standpoint he has.,
,perhaps, done all that any one in i
vidual ,could do; I believe he is very
sincere, but it is not enough. Whit
we as agriculturiata need is as much.
protection as other industries get,
and surely we deserve it. The Prime
Minister in, his address talkedabout
steel. • True, ,"we need steel," we
cannot get along without it; butis
there any hon„ member who would
put forth' the argument that steel is
more important than food in winning
th'e war? Long after ',the need for
steel has declined, food .viii be in
constant demand.
There is another here of thought
which I wish, to develop at this time.
It -has to de with, our war effort so
far as the distribution of grain, coal
and gasoline is, concerned, which is
a vital matter, to my mind, in war
time. We have a condition in. Godes
rich harbour that 1 would like to
draw to the attention of the Minister
of Public Works (Mr. Cardin), in re-
gard to the surgings of vessels in
the hariiour under stress of wind and
disturbance. -
Last winter there were fifteen Can-
adian
anadian grain carriers wintering in the
harbour. I have a record stating the
surgings of these vessels which were
under observation for two dans when
a eorthwes.tand west wind was blow-
ing strong. There were other vessels
lying loaded at the Western Canada
Flour Mills wharf which are not in-
cluded in this survey. ' Several storms
occurred wadle these boats were in
process of La-ing up for the winter.
The first was a very strong gale
starting in 4tthe southwest and shift;
ing to northwest and north.-. -
On December 7th and 8th, when
several vessels sustained broken cable
motirings, 'bits. and • sthocks,- and -other-
wise bum s5ba themselves along the
wharves, ,there was no knowledge of
any of the other vessels -having come
in contact with the 'harbour Bottom,
Again, em.•. December 21 and 22, a
northwest and westerly gale produc-
ed a great surge in the harbour with
similar damaging results ,to steam-
ship moorings. 'These storins, while
altering from normal to intensevel-.
ocity, did not seem to be worse than
those experienced in previous years,
but the harbour surging was<,-a.ppar-
ently greater, whirls ionto only be at-
tribuatable to a great flow df vgater
to tie entrance from; the breakveater
to the pier mouth, and thence to the
inner harbour. It may be 'reasonable
JO, assume that, with the deepening
of the entry channel to approximately
26 feet, mach .greater volume of aeaa
will roll through, especially 'during
westerly and southwesterly gales, and
and thla fioW, walled off to a great
extent by t e� s'hoail g on' t'he aaoibh
