THE BUDGET.


[Stage Direction]
On 'the Order being called:
House again in Committee of Ways and Means.

The Minister of Finance.
Mr. SPEAKER:: Under the provisions of Rule 17C, when this Order is called on Thursday the Chair is vacated without question put, but by arrangement, and for the convenience of hon. members, it has been found best to submit the motion on Thursday. I make reference to the fact in order that this circumstance may not be construed as a precedent.
Hon. Sir THOMAS WHITE (Minister oi Finance) moved;
That the Speaker do now leave the Chair for the House to go into Committee of Ways and Means.
He said: This motion affords me the opportunity of presenting the Budget for the consideration of the House. It is usual in such presentation to deal with the important topics of the financial position of the Dominion, the condition of our trade, domestic and foreign, the state of our revenues and expenditures for the past and, so far as can be estimated, for the coming year, and to submit the fiscal measures which the Government deems essential having regard to the situation disclosed.
This is the general course along which my remarks of to-day will proceed, but in view of the special circumstances in which Canada in common with the rest of the world finds herself, I hope I may be pardoned if I dwell upon the various subjects
31.'{6

which I have mentioned at somewhat greater length, and in more detail, than has been my custom in previous Budgets which I have had the honour to present to Parliament.
The war is over and all nations are engaged in counting the cost, estimating the condition in which their finance and trade have been left after the fiery tempest which has passed over the world, anld devising ways and means to repair the ruin which has been wrought.
It seems to me that what the House and the people of Canada will first desire to learn from the Budget speech will be what has been the cost of the war to Canada, what is our present financial position, what it will be when demobilization has taken place and our war expenditure is completely at an end, and what are the additional annual charges which must be met as the result of the war.
To these topics I shall first address myself. The fiscal year of the Dominion closes on March 31. According to our system some time is required for the completion of the services and bringing into account of all items attributable to the year closed on that date, but a fairly accurate forecast may be given of what the completed accounts will reveal.
With regard to the cost of the war to the Dominion, the books of the Finance Department show as of March 31 last a total principal war expenditure of $1,327,273,848. The portions incurred in respect of the several years during the continuance of the war are as follows:
$ 60,750,476 for 1914-15 $166,197,755 for 1915-16 $306,488,814 for 1916-17 . $343,836,801 for 1917-18 $450,000,000 for 1918-19
Over the same fiscal period, namely from April 1, 1914, to March 31, 1919, the total expenditure upon ordinary account, that is to say, the current outlays of the Dominion in respect of its various services aggregated $832,757,589. The expenditure upon capital and other accounts for which by the practice of all our Governments provision might properly be made by borrowing, and for which assets of equivalent value were created for the permanent benefit of the people of Canada, amounted during the five years in question to $180,277,873.
Leaving capital expenditure aside and applying the surplus available from our revenues over and above the amount required to meet current outlays it will appear that we have met the principal cost of the war 
from taxation to a total aggregate amount of $275,943,977. ffif we take into account the amount contributed during the five year period for interest upon war debt and for pension charges the total paid from revenue on account of the war to March 31, 1919, is $438,293,248.
Now let us approach the subject from another angle. Aside from the cost of the war and how that cost was met, the vital question before us to-day is what is the amount of the total net national debt of Canada and how does it compare with the net debt at the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding the war.
On March 31, 1914, the net national debt was $335,996,850. On March 31, 1919, the net national debt was $1,584,000,000.
There remains to be considered what further increase in the national debt will be made during the present fiscal year which will end on March 31, 1920.
The war, so far as actual fighting is concerned, was terminated by the armistice of November 11 last; but the expenditures connected with the maintenance of the Canadian Corps in Continental Europe, their gradual return, first to England, and then to Canada, their demobilization here, and the provision made by the Government by way of war gratuity to enable members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force to bridge over the period of their re-absorption into civil life have still continued, and will continue over the greater part of the year.
In reality the present year is, so far as expenditure is concerned, a war year. It is impossible to estimate accurately what our demobilization expenditure for 1919-20 will be, but we may be sure that it will not be materially less than $300,000,000:
There is a further important item of our war expenditure which must be taken into account but which at present it is not possible to estimate with accuracy. I mean the additional cost to Canada of our share of the increased expenditure for ammunition at the front from September 1, 1917, to the close of the war.
Assuming that we shall not be able, in view of the magnitude of our reconstruction programme, to pay any substantial part of our demobilization expenditure from revenue, we may calculate that when demobilization is complete and no further outlays are necessary on what I may call the principal of our war expenditure the total net debt of Canada will stand at not less than $1,950,000,000, or in round figures $2,000,000,000. This contrasts with $335,996,850, the net debt of Canada at the end

of the fiscal year 1914. The increase during the five year war period is thus shown in round figures at $1,614,000,000.
This then is the financial position so far as relates to the national debt. While the amount is large and averages over $220 per head of the population of Canada it will be remembered that Canada was in the war from the first day and that by comparison with the present net national debts oi European governments including Great Britain, who were similarly participants in the conflict during its entire length, our position having regard to relation of debt, to number of population, and to national resources must be regarded as distinctly more favourable.
Mr. Speaker, I do not in the least desire to minimize the gravity of so great a debt as now confronts us on the threshold of the new era upon which we are entering. It will constitute a burden upon the people of Canada for generations to come. Fighting for the principles for which we stood we could not and did not count the money cost which is really the least part of oui sacrifices in the war. The realization that at the greatest crisis in all history when the fate of world freedom was trembling in the scale of destiny, this gallant country of eight million people put its all to the hazard in the mightiest of conflicts for the cause of truth and justice, will be the lofty inspiration to greater effort which will enable Canada to carry and ultimately extinguish the heavy obligations entailed by the war.
What portion of this indebtedness and of the obligations we have incurred with respect to pensions and other services arising out of the war we shall be able, under the peace settlement, to obtain by way of indemnity from Germany and her Allies I am unable to say, but it would be imprudent to treat expectation in this regard as an asset upon which we may with certainty depend. It is better to face our debt and other war liabilities as they stand and assume that we must be prepared to bear their full burden by our own strength and from our own resources.

In considering the subject of our national debt an important aspect from the viewpoint of its bearing upon our financial standing and credit is whether it is owed to our own people or abroad. While national debt, no matter where owed, is debt, it makes a great difference to national strength whether it is held within the country itself, that is to say, whether the people regarded in the aggregate owe it to individual members of the community holding their own Government's securities, or whether it is owed to citizens of other nations. From the national standpoint a public debt owed to a nation's own people is not nearly so serious an obligation as if owed abroad. The interest paid upon it is disbursed at home and remains part of the national resources. When the principal is paid there is a transfer of wealth from the Government to its own citizens which still remains an asset of the community viewed as a national unit. But if the debt is held abroad, every interest and principal payment diminishes the resources of the debtor nation and increases those of the creditor nation. In this respect and bearing especially in mind the fact that before the war Canada's borrowing for federal, provincial, municipal and business purposes was principally in Britain and the United States and not in Canada, the situation as to our national debt may be regarded with satisfaction.
In round figures the total outstanding securities of the Dominion Government are held as follows:	in Great Britain.
$326,700,000; in the United States, $150,873,000; in Canada, $1,510,000,000.

From this statement the House will see how necessary it was to issue long date securities even at war rates of interest. If we had to face the maturity of so vast a principal amount as is represented by our war borrowings in Canada within a period of five or ten years after the war, I may frankly say that the solution of such a problem would tax to the utmost the resource of any Minister of Finance. But with the various maturities spread over so long a period of years, ample time is afforded to adopt whatever measures may be needed to meet the redemption of each loan . as it matures.
In the United States our maturities are as follows:
August	1st, 1919	$75,000,000April	1st,	1921	
25,000,000April	1st,	1926	
25,000,050April	1st,	1931

873,000
As of March 31 last other short date Treasury Bills payable in Canada were outstanding with maturities as follows:
October	1, 1919	
24,605,000October	15, 190.9	
49,215,000
On the same date our financial resources were as follows:
In Canadian banks	$135,000,000
In Bank of Montreal, London.. .. 10,000,000 In Bank of Montreal, New York. .	4,414,047
Amount to be received on account of last Victory Loan	 55,000,000
Total	$204,414,047
On account of this being, as respects expenditure, a war year, we shall have to float at least one further loan in Canada for purposes connected with the war and demobilization. Any necessary external financing to meet loans maturing outside of Canada will receive timely attention.
As the aggregate of our war issues exceeds our net war expenditure it is to be pointed out that during the war we were enabled to make advances to Great Britain for her purchases in Canada to a greater extent than we availed ourselves of advances from the Imperial Government to meet our war expenditure in England and on the continent. The result is that there is owing to us by the Imperial Government a balance, after making the necessary setoffs, of about two hundred and thirty million dollars. This is subject to reduction

by the unascertained amount which we shall pay in respect of increased charges for ammunition at the fro.nt since September 1, 1917. An inquiry is now being made for the purpose of adjusting this charge.
The following information will be of interest to the House as to Dominion note issues at the close of the war:
Total Dominion Notes outstanding March	31,	1919	$298,058,697.67
of which	$153,630,697.67 is secured to the
amount of $116,014,654.37 in gold reserve and $144,428,060 by securities.
Our gold is thus 38.92 per cent of the total issue of $298,058,697.67, and 75-52 per cent of the $153,630,697.67 against which no securities other than gold are held.
A comparison with the note issues of Great Britain and the other Allies, including United States which was less than two years in the war, is such as to cause satisfaction to Canada with respect to the postwar condition of our currency. *
The policy will be to gradually restore our note issue to the statutory condition, which requires us to hold in gold 25 per cent up to fifty million dollars of note issue and dollar for dollar for any further issue. This can be done by buying gold on the one hand, or on the other by retiring outstanding notes from time to time from the proceeds of loans or from revenue. It will be a long time before the currency inflation of the world will be abated.
The figures which I have given show the increase in the national debt of Canada due to the war. Interest must, of course, be paid annually upon this debt, and T have had a careful estimate made as to the yearly burden which this will entail.
Assuming the total debt of Canada on March 31, 1920, to be $1,950,000,000, the estimated annual interest charge will be approximately $115,000,000. This compares with $12,893,504, which was the interest charge upon the national debt as of the fiscal year ended March 31, 1914.
But the added annual burden due to the war does not rest there. There is the further responsibility for pensions to our soldiers and their dependents. For the past fiscal year the amount paid on this account was $17,460,000. For the present fiscal year it may reach $30,000,000. For a generation or more to come we may look forward to providing, say, $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 per

annum for pensions. In addition there will be the annual expense for maintenance of hospitals, convalescent homes, and other services established for the aid and comfort of our soldiers. No national expenditures will, I am sure, he more gladly borne than these by the people of Canada, who will never fail to appreciate the sacrifices made on their behalf by those who fought for Canada in the great war.
Having indicated the extent of the financial burden which the war has imposed upon us, it seems advisable to pause to inquire how that burden is to be met. What are the resources upon which Canada must depend to carry this huge national debt and the annual charge for pensions and other services which I have mentioned? We are to-day a prosperous community of high average productivity. I am not prepared to say that even without extraordinary effort we should not be able to merely carry along the extra financial burden imposed by the war. But its magnitude must not be minimized, and it is for us to consider and put into effect such policies as may be appropriate to counteract the disadvantage under whidh we shall labour in this regard and to insure the continued prosperity of our people, notwithstanding this great national handicap upon their exertions. In this connection we should undoubtedly have in mind the gradual extinction over a long course of years of the debt by a sinking fund provision to be put into effect as soon as possible after the conclusion of the present year. With 'this I do not intend to deal further for the present.
WThat are our resources, actual and potential, from which we can carry the interest, pensions, and other war charges, and gradually extinguish our indebtedness due to the war?
We have a country of almost unlimited natural assets, vast stretches of cultivable lands, magnificent forests, regions abounding in mineral wealth, and fisheries the most valuable in the world. We have a highly intelligent, energetic, enterprising people of great stability of character and ardent 'aspiration for national and individual success. To develop our natural resources there is required the application of enterprise, capital, and labour. To sell our products we require markets, domestic and foreign.
Let us for a moment consider some of the policies which are essential for the realization of the development I have outlined. Our ability to meet ana retire our war obli-
199J
gations will depend upon our power to increase our production of natural and manufactured commodities and to economize individually so as to bring about each year substantial increase in domestic wealth and savings and a more favourable balance in our international trade. In other words, the motto for the future, as it v as for the war, must be " Produce and Save."
As evidencing what can be -done by Canada in the way of national saving, I can not do better than give the following statistics of deposits, demand and notice, in our chartered banks for the years 1913 to 1919, inclusive:-
Mch. Demand Withdrawable 31. Deposits	on notice	Total.1913	$357,756,6-59	$ 630,434,708 $ 988,191,3671914	350,884,153	665,994,8-52	1,0-16,879,0-051915	406,735,171	714,219,286	1,120,954,4571916	459,277,454	8-36,59-3,269	1,295,870,72-31917	538,869,362	1,008,657,874	1,547,52-7,2361918	666,366,359	939,329,271	1,605,695,63019-19	566,797,268	1,037,851,766	1,604,649,0-34
The bank deposits in Canada almost doubled in the six-year period from 1913 to 1919. In connection with these figures, there should also be taken into account the subscription by the Canadian people to the war loans floated in Canada and paid for by withdrawal of their deposits in our chartered banks and other financial institutions.
To greatly increase our production we need more population and particularly that class which will engage in our oasic industries. Our immigration policy is therefore of prime importance. We must fill up our vacant cultivable lands. In the past we have not been sufficiently selective in our immigration. We are so amending our laws as to ensure that the destinies of this country will always be controlled by those who may be depended upon as loyal and patriotic citizens of Canada, ready at all times to take up arms in her defence no matter from what source aggression may come. It is interesting to note that during the war immigration-, likely to result in increased production, continued, although on a comparatively small scale. The figures are as
follows:

79,074"	"	1918-19	
57,702
-Since March 31 last immigrants to the number of 12,000 have entered Canada.
As a great food-producing country Canada is bound always to enjoy agricultural prosperity. The war lias caused the death of millions of the rural workers of Europe, devastated vast tracts of cultivated lands.

consumed the horses, cattle and other domestic animals, and destroyed the implements of tillage.
It must be many years before Europe is able to recover agriculturally from the effects of the war. In the meantime the hungry millions must be fed and it would seem certain that Canada's agriculture will not lack for profitable markets for all it can produce.
The yearly exportable surplus of the Dominion's grain and foodstuffs should go far towards ensuring most favourable trade balances for the future. For the reconstruction work in Europe our raw materials and their products must also be in demand. Every effort must be made to develop and expand our export trade in manufactured articles as well as in the immediate products of our fields, forests, and mines. The more highly finished the commodity the greater the price which it will bring to the Dominion. Our policy should be directed to ensuring so far as practicable the completion within Canada, in Canadian shops and mills, of manufacturing processes in order that we may obtain the benefit of the greater value of finished products as compared with that of raw materials or partly manufactured articles.
No doubt we shall be subject in this to the keenest international competition., and to succeed we shall require to avail ourselves of every assistance which can be legitimately afforded by the Government in obtaining information respecting, and access to, foreign, markets, as well as transportation and financial facilities.
One most important asset which we possess as a result of the war is the increased capability of industrial production which was" turned during the war to such remarkable purpose in the manufacture of munitions and other materials. In all departments of our national activity-agricultural, industrial, commercial and financial-the war discovered to the people of Canada a capacity in themselves for achievement which, they would not have dreamed they possessed had not the pressure of emergency called forth their latent genius for
organization, administration and efficiency. This higher capability among all classes should prove of the greatest value in enabling us to deal with our after-war problems and burdens.
As illustrating the vast strides made by our foreign trade during the war, the following statistical information is submitted.
In 1913 the balance of trade against us was $300,000,000. In 1914 our total international trade was $1,073,000,000, of which $618,000,000 was in imports and $455,000,000 in exports. For 1918 the total was $2,550,000,000, of which $962,000,000 was imports and $1,586,000,000 exports. For 1919 the unrevised figures show a total of $2,169,000,000, of which $916,000,000 was imports and $1,253,000,000 exports. It will thus appear that from an adverse balance of $300,000,000 in 1913 and of $160,000,000 in 1914, we had attained a favourable balance of over $600,000,000 in 1918 and of $340,000,000 for 1919. At the end of the five-year period from 1914 to 1919 our total trade had doubled, while for the year 1918, which marked the highest point, it aggregated 2J times the trade of 1914.
It must be kept in mind respecting these figures that the higher prices of our grain, foodstuffs and other exports, and of the goods which we imported, is a most important factor for consideration, and further that of' our exports for 1918 and 1919 the estimated amount of ammunition, explosives and other war materials aggregated $418,000,000 and $260,000,000 respectively. The cessation of the manufacture of- these articles and any fall in the price of commodities generally are bound to make serious changes in our trade aggregates unless offset by increased production. For the information of the House I here place upon Hansard the statistical details of our total trade, also details of our trade with the United Kingdom, with the United States, and of exports (by classes) of Canadian produce for the past six years; also of imports from and to the United Kingdom and the overseas Dominions, and the principal foreign nations with whom we traded for the past two years.

During the war the condition of our foreign trade has been greatly changed. The outstanding feature has been the increase in total to which I have referred and the reversal of the unfavourable to a most favourable balance. The trend of our trade for the war period may be observed from the following summary:
United Kingdom.
The imports from the United Kingdom have decreased from the fiscal year 1913-14 to the year 1918-19 from $132,000,000 to $73,000,000 and our exports (domestic produce) have increased from $215,000,000 during the year just preceding the war to $532,000,000 during the year 1918-19.
Other Parts of the British Empire.
Our imports from other parts of the British Empire increased from $22,000,000 during the fiscal year 1913-14 to $50,000,000 during the fiscal year 1918-19, and exports

$	418,000,000
260,000,000
(domestic produce) increased from $23,000,000 to $64,000,000 during the same period.
United States.
The trade with the United States has greatly increased during the war period. The imports from this country in 1913-14 were $395,000,000 and in 1918-19 were nearly $747,000,000, while the exports (domestic) increased from $163,000,000 to $454,000,000.
France.
The imports from France have decreased from $14,000,000 in 1913-14 to $3,600,000 in 1918-19, while the exports increased from $3,600,000 to $92,000,000 during the same period. The exports were largely munitions and other war supplies..
Italy.
The imports from Italy during the wai period decreased from $2,000,000 to $550,000 and the exports increased from $500,000 in

1916-14 to over $13,000,000 in 1918-19. In the year 1917-18 the principal exports were asbestos, canned salmon, canned meats, wheat, oats, oatmeal and explosives.
Japan.
The imports from Japan during the year 1913-14 were $2,600,000 and increased to $13,600,000 in the year 1918-19. The principal goods included in the increase would appear to be of a class formerly imported from Germany and Austria-Hungary. Our exports (domestic) to Japan in 1913-14 were $1,500,000 which increased to nearly $12,000,000 in 1918-19.
Mr. LEMIEUX:: Will the minister state whether our largest customer is Great Britain or the United States?


William Thomas White: Our total trade
with Great Britain including imports and exports in 1918-19 was $605,000,000. Our total trade with the United States was $1,201,000,000.
Now, Mr. Speaker, having dealt with the financial and commercial position of the Dominion, I now proceed to the consideration of the important problem of our estimated expenditure for the present fiscal year 1919-20 and the fiscal proposals which the Government has to make in connection therewith.
It will be advantageous in assisting us to reach a conclusion with respect to these matters if I first briefly review the result of the last fiscal year which ended on March 31, 1919. During that year the expenditure of the Dominion upon account of the ordinary services of the Government amounted to $240,000,000. The outlay upon capital account aggregated $22,000,000. For war, the total expenditure for the year is estimated at $450,000,000 (that is the last fiscal year). On the other side of the account we estimate a total revenue for the yeai 1918-19 of $310,000,000. As emphasizing the importance of this figure, I may point out that for the fiscal year before the war the total revenue was $163,174,394. For the fiscal year which ended on March 31, 1909, the revenue was only $85,093,404. Of this total of $310,000,000 (the revenue for the last fiscal year), $147,000,000- was received from customs; $30,000,000 from excise; $21,000,000 from post oflice; $33,000,000 from taxation under the Business Profits War Tax Act; $10,000,000 from the Income War Tax Act; $14,000,000 from other war taxation; and $55,000,000 from other miscellaneous sources, including $38,000,000 from railways.
If we follow the practice which has been hitherto adopted in treating as surplus the
amount of revenue received in excess of the ordinary expenditure, it will appear that for the past fiscal year the Government had a surplus of $70,000,000, which was devoted to war expenditure. If, on the other hand, we first appropriated our revenue to the payment of both ordinary and capital expenditure, the surplus which was used for war expenditure was $48,000,000.
I have already stated the estimated war expenditure for the past year to have been $450,000,000. Of this expenditure, therefore, $48,000,000 was paid out of revenue after meeting all other outlays on the part of the Government, including capital expenditure.
In connection with our expenditures during the past year and generally throughout the period of the war, I may observe with ' respect to both ordinary and capital outlays that they -have been kept well in hand, and that the increased expenditure under this heading is attributable principally to interest upon our war debt and pensions.
I now proceed to estimate the revenue and outlay of the present year. Main estimates totalling $437,000,000 have been laid before the House, with -Supplementary estimates still to be brought down. Embraced in these estimates are -certain considerable amounts representing investments. I refer particularly to the estimate of $25,000,000 appropriated for the purpose of soldiers' land settlement; $35,000,000 loan to Canadian Northern Railway Company; $35,000,000 for railway equipment purposes; and $25,000,000 to be advanced by way of loans to the several Provincial Governments for promoting better housing conditions. The estimate for expenditure on- ordinary account for the coming year is $270,000,000. Of this the sum of $102,000,000 represents interest on the national debt. This figure contrasts with $12,893,000 representing interest charges upon the national debt before the war. It includes also the sum of $30,000,000 for estimated pension expenditure for the year. It is these, two items of interest and pensions which will particularly constitute the burden of the war upon the taxpayers of the country for a great many years to come; until, in fact, the national debt is materially reduced and pensions gradually run their course. The estimated expenditure on capital account for the year we place at $50,000,000.
This is a war year and it is necessary also to add the estimated expenditure which has been and will be incurred on account of demobilization. This will aggregate the large sum of $300,000,000, including $92,000,000 for

war gratuity. The entire estimated expenditure, therefore, of the year on ordinary account, capital account, and for demobilization will reach the large total of $620,000,000.
Assuming that we maintained, without change, existing fiscal legislation, and that the yield of the various services would be upon the same basis as for 1918-19, our estimate of revenue for the present year would be as follows:
Customs	$145,000,000
Excise		30,000,000
Post Office	 18,000,000
Business Profits War Tax	35,000,000
Income Tax	 20,000,000
Other War Taxation..	..	14,000,000Miscellaneous sources..	..	18,000,000

In this estimate we have, owing to the change to be made, commencing with this year, in the mode of financial administration of the Intercolonial and other Government railways, omitted $30,000,000 of revenue from that source. That revenue will henceforth be received by the Canadian National Railway Company and applied directly against its working expenditure. In our estimate of ordinary expenditure for the year we have allowed for a corresponding reduction.
While from the statement which I have just made it will appear that our total estimated expenditure, ordinary and capital accounts, and for demobilization, will amount to $620,000,000, our estimated revenue on the present basis will reach only $280,000,000. Putting it another way, our revenue would enable us to pay only our ordinary expenditure and leave a small amount to be applied to other purposes.
The question which now arises is what shall be our policy in the matter of taxation for the present year. It is a year of great industrial instability and business uncertainty. If the war were still continuing it would be necessary to recommend heavily increased taxation in order that we might pay a substantial portion of the principal of our war expenditure. If it were not for special circumstances arising out of this transitional period from war to peace that course should be adopted, notwithstanding the ending of the war, because we shall have this year so heavy a volume of what is really war expenditure, that is to say, our outlay for demobilization and all that it involves. We must, however, bear specially in mind the anxieties and burdens of the general public at a time of dislocation, unrest and high prices, and endeavour to wisely bridge over this troubled

period by giving such measure of relief as may be practicable, having regard to the heavy financial obligations devolving upon us and our national credit in the eyes of the outside world.
The cost of living in Canada has, in common with all other countries, gradually increased during the war and is causing hardship to a large portion of our population, especially those of limited means and slender incomes. I am of opinion that for this transitional period we are justified in adopting the policy of meeting only our ordinary expenditure and borrowing for our capital and demobilization expenditure.
In considering the question of reductions and increases in indirect taxation most careful attention must be given to their effect upon established industry and the employment of operatives dependent upon its success for the maintenance of themselves and their families, and upon the domestic trade and commerce which it supports.
Having fully considered all aspects of the subject the Government submits the following proposals:
Under the Customs Tariff War Revenue Act, 1915, a British preferential tariff rate of five per cent and an intermediate and general tariff rate of seven and a half per cent were imposed upon, with certain exceptions, all imported goods.
We propose to wholly repeal this British preferential tariff rate of five per cent. Further, we propose to partially repeal the intermediate and general tariff rate of seven and one-half per cent at present in effect under the Customs Tariff War Revenue Act referred to Dy making it no longer applicable to the following classes of articles, namely:-
Foodstuffs, linen and cotton clothing, woollen clothing, boots and shoes, fur caps and fur clothing, hats, caps, hoods and bonnets, gloves and mitts, collars and cuffs, hides, skins, leather, harness and saddlery, agricultural implements, petroleum oils, mining machinery, and bituminous coal.
Those classes embrace a very large variety of individual articles which will be disclosed in the resolution.	.
*So much for the reductions from the tariff rates established by the Customs Tariff Wai Revenue Act, 1915. We have now certain other reduction's and modifications to propose in respect of the ordinary tariff rates, that is to say, the tariff rates established under the tariff of 1907 and amendments thereto. I call them, for the purpose of distinguishing them from the special customs

war duties, the ordinary tariff rates. The resolutions presented in this regard will provide for a reduction of five cents pei pound in the British preferential, intermediate and general tariff rates on roasted or ground coffee and three cents per pound under the British preferential tariff on British grown teas. This latter reduction gives a substantial Empire preference where no preference at present exists.
We shall provide for the free importation into Canada of wheat, wheat flour and potatoes from countries which do not impose a customs duty on such articles grown or produced in Canada.
We shall also provide for an alteration in the rates on, soda ash from five per cent under the British preferential tariff and seven and a half per cent under the general tariff to one-fifth of a cent a pound under the British preferential tariff and three-tenths of a cent per pound under the general tariff.
We shall provide further for specific instead of ad valorem rates of duty upon pig-lead, zinc spelter, and copper in-4 p.m. gots. On certain products made from these materials there will be an increase in duties.
I come now to the consideration of agricultural implements. I have stated that we propose to take off the Customs war revenue duties. But for an arrangement we have been able to make for the equalization of Canadian freight rates with those enjoyed by American competitors of our industries engaged in the manufacture of these implements, it would not have been practicable to make any reductions in the ordinary tariff schedule covering these articles. Under the ordinary tariff, rates of duty upon manufactured products are closely related to duties upon raw material, coal, machinery, and other equipment used in their manufacture, and any reduction except upon an occasion of general revision when the tariff as a whole can be dealt with would necessarily lead to most serious consequences.
Desirous as we were of providing for as low a duty as might be practicable upon these implements of agricultural production so essential to Canada at this time, the problem before us was how to make it possible to reduce the ordinary tariff rates.
The business of manufacturing agricultural implements is almost wholly confined to Eastern Canada. So far as concerns their great market in the West, Canadian firms and companies engaged in this industry have been handicapped as against
their American competitors by higher freight rates. The freights charged by Canadian railway companies upon shipments from eastern points to Winnipeg, Brandon, Regina, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and other western points have been higher than the rates from Chicago to the same points. This has been caused by the fact that the manufacturing centres of the eastern provinces are separated by great distances from the consuming and distributing centres of the West. The American manufacturer of agricultural implements is not only closer to the American consumer and American distributing points but he is also nearer to the western distributing points of Canada.
In view of these circumstances it appeared to us that we should seek assistance in freight reduction to enable us to reduce the ordinary tariff upon these implements. The plan was not free of difficulty. In so far as railway rates, as such, are concerned, the railway rates in Canada, although recently raised, are certainly not more than sufficient to make a carrying return on the value of the properties used for transportation. Indeed, having regard Ito railway investment, railway returns, owing to the very great increases in the cost of operation, may well be described as low. In view of this, it is, of course, impossible to expect a reduction in railway rates to be ordered by the Railway Commission.
As a rate-making proposition, reductions at the present time are impossible. We have, however, approached the railway companies with a view of overcoming the difficulty of distance to the greatest extent possible, and of doing so without unduly injuring railway revenues and credits. At the present time railways, which are the largest consumers of bituminous coal, pay a war duty of seven and a half per cent on the value of the imported commodity. As this duty is an addition to the specific tax upon this coal, a heavy resultant dharge has been thrown upon the operating railways, whose fuel costs, in view of the advanced price of coal alone, have been greatly increased.
The proposal which we made to the rail carriers was that they should reduce their rates from the eastern manufacturing points of production of agricultural implements, Montreal, and east of the Great Lakes, to prairie points, to the rates charged by the American lines with shorter mileages, from Chicago to the similar western destinations, stating that if the

railway companies could see their way to do this they would be assisted to the extent that relief would be afforded them by the abolition of the seven and a half per cent war duty on bituminous coal.
In the first instance, the railway companies claimed that, in view of their financial obligations, it was entirely impossible for them to sacrifice any revenue whatever, but that their existing revenues were, as a matter of fact, insufficient.
The question, however, was not allowed to stand, but other representations were made to the companies, such as the national necessity of making farming operations in the West more profitable, of increasing the population of the West, and the resultant interest that tlhe companies themselves would have from the traffic which a larger and more prosperous population would afford, and also the fact that such conditions would render more saleable the railway lands owned by companies in the West, an argument which appealed with special force to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, which company has perhaps as much interest in the proper development and prosperity of the West as any other interest can possibly have.
I am very glad 'to be able to say that the railway companies have recognized the large overlying national interest, and have consented to put in tariffs as asked. The new tariff's will give the Chicago rate on agricultural implements from producing centres in the East, west of Montreal and east of the Great Lakes, to prairie points, for car-lot movements, loaded to a minimum of
24,000	pounds. This reduction is a substantial concession made by the railways, as the following statement of present rates will indicate:

[Sir Thomas White.}
The rates to Edmonton are the same from both points as those to Calgary.
The reduction will be appreciated when it is recognized that, for example, to Regina, the Canadian haul of 1,590 miles equalizes the haul from American territory of 1,069 miles, while to Medicine Hat the Canadian movement is 520 miles longer than the American movement, although the rate will become the same.
It must also be borne in mind that although, as the above schedule indicates, the rates for equivalent distances in the United States 'are higher than in Canada, notwithstanding a greater density and diversity of traffic, combined with a lower fuel cost, the United States operations, a3 indicated by the reports made by the United States Railroad Administration, are now being carried on at an operating loss.
The companies made these concessions then, not on any rate basis, nor for any railway advantage, and without regard to rates on other articles or railway returns or necessities-simply to meet a situation of national importance. The companies state that their action thus taken must not in any way be regarded as a measure for profitable transportation, and that it is absolutely impossible that railway revenues can be further affected by 'any rate reductions on any other commodities.
In view of the arrangement for height reduction made with the railway companies, we are enabled to make the following proposals for reductions in customs duties upon agricultural implements.


Mr. ROBB:: Has the minister any statement as 'to the difference between the new rate and the Canadian rate in force prior to 1912?


William Thomas White: 
Rodolphe Lemieux: Under the proposed
changes mentioned by the minister a moment ago, does the Order in Council which was passed two years ago concerning wheat, now become permanent? In other words, are we to have free wheat between the United States and Canada?


William Thomas White: We have had free wheat ever since the Order in Council was passed. I presented to the House the opinion of the Minister of Justice that the provision was on as permanent a basis as if it had been placed in a statute. But if my hon. friend has any doubt on the question, it would now be removed by the fact that we are providing, by the resolution which we shall lay before the House, for placing wheat, wheat flour, and semolina upon the free list to countries which do not impose duties upon those articles coming from Canada.
I was referring to our proposals with regard to income tax. We propose that all corporations shall pay ten per cent on their net income in excess of two thousand dollars. The present tax is six per cent. Shareholders shall be given credit for the normal tax to which they are liable upon dividends received from companies subject to this taxation. That is the same principle as applies to the present income tax.
In the case of individuals, we propose that the normal rate of four per cent shall be levied upon all incomes exceeding one
thousand dollars, but not exceeding six thousand dollars, in the case of unmarried persons and widows or widowers without dependent children, and upon all incomes exceeding two thousand dollars but not exceeding six thousand dollars in the case of all other persons.
We propose a normal tax of eight per cent upon all incomes exceeding six thousand dollars.
We propose that the surtax shall commence from five thousand dollars instead of from six thousand dollars as at present, and shall increase by graduation, applying firstly to incomes between five thousand dollars and six thousand dollars, and to every two thousand dollars between six thousand dollars and one hundred thousand dollars.
Upon incomes in excess of one hundred thousand dollars, materially increased rates are levied.
The following compilation shows in detail what is proposed:
In addition to the normal tax rates which I have mentioned payable on incomes in excess of $1,000 in respect to unmarried persons and widows and widowers without dependent children and $2,000 in respect to all other persons a surtax will be payable as follows:
1	per centum of the amount by which the net income exceeds $5,000 and does not exceed $6,000.
2	per centum of the amount by which the net income exceeds $6,000 -and does not exceed $8,000.

Several amendments which the administration of the Income Tax Act has shown to be desirable will be submitted. The question of double taxation has given considerable difficulty. In view of the time which would be required to make international agreements respecting the matter we have thought it advisable to take the lead and provide for a deduction from the sum payable by a resident of Canada under our income tax legislation of the amount paid by him elsewhere in the British Empire upon income thence derived. We shall also provide for a similar deduction in respect of income derived from a foreign country extending similar exemption upon income derived from Canadian sources.
As this is a war year so far as public expenditures are concerned, and it is most desirable that we should maintain so far as possible our revenues, the Business Profits War Tax Act will be renewed for the current calendar year so as ito make it apply to accounting periods ending on or before 31st December, 1919. The rates of the Business Profits War Tax Act which we are thus extending are as follows:
Businesses having a capital of $25,000 and over but less than $50,000, profits in excess of 10 per cent to be taxable-rate 25 per cent thereof.
Businesses having a capital of $50,000 and over (exemption for incorporated companies, 7- per cent; other than incorporated companies, 10 per cent); profits in excess of exemptions but not exceeding 15 per cent, rate of taxation 25 per cent; profits' from 15 per cent to 20 per cent inclusive- rate of taxation 50 per cent; profits in excess of 20 per cent, rate of taxation 75 per cent.
In connection with both income and business profits taxation, I feel I should again call the attention of the House to certain considerations to which regard should, I think, be had in the general national interest. Canada is a country inviting immigration for settlement and capital and business enterprise for investment and development. We must be careful that our taxation of income and profits is not such as to place a barrier against either. In some provinces of Canada there are at present three sets of income taxes, municipal, provincial and federal. The result in these provinces is exceedingly heavy taxation upon individuals and business enterprise. Our business profits taxation, unless repealed as soon as war conditions terminate, must have an adverse influence upon the investment of money in business enterprise in Canada. At present there is a widespread tendency throughout the world to severely

The amount of the exemption from normal tax to the shareholders shall not exceed the net amount of such dividends after the deduction of the interest or carrying charges, if any, in respect of such dividends.

6.	That dividends or shareholders' bonuses paid or-credited to its shareholders by a corpo-

ration on or after January 1st, 1917, shall be taxable as incopie of the shareholder in the year in which the same are received or credited unless paid exclusively out of a surplus or accumulated profits on hand prior to the 1st January, 1917. No dividend or shareholders' bonus shall be deemed to be paid or credited out of surplus or accumulated profits on hand* prior to the 1st January, 1917, if the earnings of the corporation since the beginning of the accounting period which ended in 1917 are sufficient to provide for the said dividend and other taxable dividends paid or credited since the said date.
(a)	Income of a beneficiary of an estate shall be deemed to include the amount accruing during each taxation year to which he, his heirs or assigns are entitled from the income of the estate whether distributed or not.

RAILWAY ACT AMENDMENT.


[Stage Direction]
Bill No. 19 to consolidate and amend the Railway Act.-Hon. J. D. Reid.


[Stage Direction]
On motion of Hon. Mr. Ballantyne Bill No. 122 to amend the Canada Shipping Act (Pilotage and Harbour Masters) was read the second time and the House went into Committee on the Bill, Mr. J. M. Douglas in the Chair.
On section 1-Minister may be appointed pilotage authority by Governor in Council:
Mr. BALLANTYNE:: When the resolution was before the Committee some days ago I explained the object of this Bill. First, it is to enable the Governor in Council to take over the pilotage system in accordance with the recommendation made by

the Royal Commission' appointed about a year ago. I refer to the ports of Halifax, Sydney, St. John, N.B., Victoria, Vancouver and Nanaimo. The object of the introduction of this Bill is to very' much increase the efficiency of the pilotage system, something that is greatly needed at the present time. Secondly, it is to' increase the dues on ships of over 1,000 registered tons from $5 to $7, in order that the harbour masters in certain ports instead of only being able to draw a maximum of $600 a year, providing that the fees reach that amount, will be enabled to draw $1,200, provided the fees reach that amount.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Is that not the same Bill that came up the other day?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No, this is a different Bill.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Is there a modification?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Bill that the
hon. member refers to dealt with the ease of the harbour masters at the port of Halifax. This applies to the harbour masters of other ports.


Mr. VIEN:: Do I understand the minister to say that this clause, 432, will authorize the minister to supersede the pilotage corporations in various districts?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No, it does not do that. The pilotage systems of Quebec and Montreal have been under the Minister of Marine and Fisheries for twelve or thirteen years. It in- no way interferes with the local pilotage authorities. It simply takes jurisdiction out of the local pilotage commissions at the ports I name and vests that authority in the Governor in Council, or with reference to these ports, in the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, -the same- as it is in regard to the ports of Quebec and Montreal.
On section 3-Harbour masters' salaries increased from $600 to $1,200:


Mr. McKENZIE:: In the harbour of Sydney there are no dues or charges against ships coming in. Does this Act provide for a new schedule of charges against ships coming into that port?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: At North Sydney the dues levied against ships in the year 1918 amounted to $839.50. The harbour-master

there draws a remuneration of $600. If the dues on ships amount to $1,000 his salary will .be $1,000, but in any event it will not exceed the maximum amount of $1,200. The object of this Bill is to increase the tonnage dues on ships over 1,000 tons from $5 to $7 in order that these underpaid harbour-masters may draw a maximum salary of $1,200 each providing the dues reach that amount.


Mr. J. H. SINCLAIR:: Has the minister appointed a harbour-master at the port of Canso yet?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I am sorry I cannot answer the hon. gentleman now, but I shall inquire. I noticed his question on tire Order Paper and I hope to be able to give him the information in the course of a day or so.


John Howard Sinclair: The harbour-master at Canso died some months ago, and I was informed that the Civil Service Commission was to make the appointment. I have not heard that an appointment has been made. I would like to know if the appointment has been made and who the officer is.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I will be very glad to look into that and let the hon. member know at the earliest possible moment. Unfortunately, I was ill for four months, and I was not able to keep up to date with all these things that transpired during my absence.
On the preamble:


Thomas Vien: Might I ask the minister what he understands by the provision that he shall supersede the existing pilotage authority?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Outside of the ports of Montreal and Quebec they have local pilotage commissions and they give their services voluntarily. The object of this Bill is to do away with the local pilotage commissions, and to invest the Minister of Marine with the same authority that he now enjoys as regards the ports of Quebec and Montreal-we want to put all the ports of Canada on the same footing.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Is there any general provision under this Act for the pensioning of pilots? I understand that in the case of the river St. Lawrence pilots there is an arrangement under which a retiring pilot

receives a pension. The minister will find, after administering the pilotage branch of his department for a short time, that there will be a great deal of dissatisfaction unless a uniform system of pensions for pilots is adopted. Is there any provision whereby the same practice which prevails in regard to the St. Lawrence pilots will be applied to the pilots of Halifax, Sydney, and other ports, which the minister is bringing under the control of 'the department?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The hon. gentleman's point is very well taken. Unless we have uniformity as regards pensions there certainly will not be satisfaction in the ease of 'the pilotage systems throughout Canada that are now coming under the control of the Minister of Marine. The only pilots that receive a pension at the present time are those in the Quebec district. In 1906, when the Hon. Mr. Brodeur was Minister of Marine, there were one hundred and sixteen pilots in that district, which was deemed too many, and in order to reduce the number to seventy-five-there are only sixty-one at present-it was agreed by Order in Council at that time that when a Quebec pilot reached the age of sixty-five he should be retired on a pension of $300. The amount required for paying the Quebec pensions has to be voted by Parliament each year, but the hon. gentleman is quite right in his statement that the pension should not he restricted to Quebec pilots. Therefore I hope, providing it meets with the approval of the Government, to introduce legislation at the next session of Parliament, to either discontinue the pensions to the Quebec pilots, or to grant a reasonable pension to 'the pilots generally. I am very much in favour of the latter course, because the pilotage examination is now very strict. I have in mind one pilot in the Quebec district, a young man of only thirty-eight years of age, who was not able to pass the eyesight test this year. When pilots have to go through a long apprenticeship and serve a number oif years as branch pilots, and then fail to pass the necessary examination, which is a strict one and takes place annually, there should be some provision made for them in the way of a pension.


John Howard Sinclair: I understand the earnings of the Quebec pilots are pooled, and the amount divided at the end of the year, each pilot receiving the same sum. Am I correct in that? If so, what were
the average earnings of those pilots last year?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: All the pilots in
the Queibec district do not receive the pension of $300 annually voted by Parliament, but only those who were in the service at the time the Order in Council referred to was passed. When those pilots reach the age of sixty-five they are retired on a pension of $300-the pilots that entered the service subsequent to the passing of that Order in Council do not receive a pension from Parliament, but draw a pension from the pilotage pension fund, to which the hon. gentleman has just referred. The gross earnings of the Quebec pilotage district amounted last year to $125,000.


John Howard Sinclair: How much did
that yield to each pilot?
Mr. BALLAN'TYNE:	I understand the
pilots have a very large fund amounting to something like $90,000, and they give each pilot $300 a year, but the fund is administered by the pilots themselves.


John Howard Sinclair: The minister
does not mean that the total earnings of a pilot for a year would only amount to $300?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: No.


John Howard Sinclair: 1 want to ascertain how much each pilot earned during the year out of the business?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That would depend a great deal upon the number of trips that each pilot would make. Some pilots earn $1,200 a year, the maximum earnings being about $1,800. The steamship companies sometimes prefer to hate a certain pilot always pilot their boats, and therefore some favoured pilots make more money than others.


John Howard Sinclair: I am not certain that I correctly apprehend the situation with respect to pensions from the statement of the minister. I understood from the discussion which took place the other evening, that pensions were paid to retired pilots, but were not paid to pilots in active service. Am I correct in that understanding? I can see no ground why a pilot earning from $1,200 to $1,800 should get any pension from the Government, but there is very good reason for pensioning a pilot who has spent his life in the service and be-

comes incapacitated for duty if there is a pension system for that purpose. Do I understand that the active pilots who earn a certain amount each year also receive a pension?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Two systems of pensions apply to the Quebec pilots. Under the one, pilots that were in the service in 1906 are retired when they reach the age of sixty-five and are given a pension of 1300, which is annually voted by Parliament. Under the other system, pilots that might not possibly pass the pilotage examination, from poor eyesight or other causes, receive a pension from the Pilots' Pension Fund.


John Howard Sinclair: Then some pilots that were in the sendee in 1906, and are still pursuing their calling and earning a certain amount every year, also receive a pension?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: They will not receive a pension while they are in the service, but when they attain the age of sixty-five years they will be retired on a pension of $300 a year. The Order in Council passed in 1906 is very specific in its terms that the pilots referred to are to receive such pension, and I felt that we could not ignore its provisions. However, at the next session of Parliament I think it would be well to adopt a pension system, as the leader of the Opposition has suggested, applicable to all the pilots throughout Canada, and not merely to those in the Quebec district.


John Howard Sinclair: Does the Government provide boats for the pilots?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: Yes.


John Howard Sinclair: What does that cost the country ?#


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: That would depend upon the port to which the hon. gentleman has reference. I have not got the details of the information here, but the department does provide pilot boat at all the leading ports.


John Howard Sinclair: I understand that the pilots of Halifax, St. John and other ports along the Atlantic coast, supply their own boats. When they go out to meet steamships they do so in their own boats and pay the expenses of those boats. In the case of the St. Lawrence pilots, however, it seems that the Government furnishes them with boats. My question is:
* Mr. Sinclair.]
How many boats is the Government operating at Quebec or Rimouski, and what is the annual cost of maintenance?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: We have only one steamer. I am sorry I did not anticipate that question being asked. I will certainly try to get the information for the hon. member. In as far as the ports of Halifax and St. John are concerned, they did provide their own boats, and if we took over those pilotage systems I think it would be only right that we should provide boats for the pilots. All the pilots ought to be treated in the same way.


Mr. PELLETIER:: For the information
of the hon. member for Guysborough, I may say that the only boat furnished by the Government is at Father Point. At the time the Government made the change from Bic to Father Point the pilots had their own schooner to go from the wharf to the steamers coming up there. The change involved an added distance of 18 miles, and it was understood then that the department would supply the pilots with a boat. They have only one boat at Father Point to take the pilots from the wharf to the steamers and from the steamers to the wharf.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: The pilots of the harbour of Sydney have an Act of incorporation and have been conducting their business entirely under their own control. They have officials of the organization and also of the pilotage commission. -The dues are collected, I think, at the customs house at North Sydney and Sydney and then passed over to the secretary of the association, who divides the money among the pilots. Now I understand some new machinery will be created by which the pilotage business will be conducted under the control of the department. I mentioned to the minister the other day that there are some officials connected with that work who will likely be put out of office altogether, and I would like to know if he has anything in contemplation as to what he is going to do with them. It is pretty hard lines to deprive men altogether of their means of livelihood. The secretary of the pilotage commission and the chairman are on salary, and also the secretary-treasurer of the association.
I think it is rather the custom of the Government, when a radical change of this kind takes place, to look after, in some degree at all events, the old officials,

as no doubt the changes are made in the general advantage of the country. It was no doubt for that reason that the pension system was adopted by the department in 1906 in connection with the change made in the St. Lawrence pilotage system. Now that this change is taking place I would like to know if the minister has any well defined policy as to what he is going to substitute for the machinery that is now looking after the pilotage systems in such places as St. John, Halifax and Sydney Harbour, and also on the Pacific coast, where there must be some pilotage companies of the same class and character.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: It is not our intention to interfere with any of the permanent officials. There is at Sydney a secretary by the name of Mr. Kimber, and it is not our intention, so far as I know, to replace him. Of course the local pilotage commissions will disappear. I understand there are four pilotage commissioners there drawing a very small remuneration, but as a rule these commissioners give their services gratuitously. That will be the only change, with the exception that we will appoint a local superintendent of pilots there who has had seafaring experience and holds a master mariner's certificate. In all other respects the pilotage system will remain the same, except that the regulations will be carried out a little more strictly, and, I hope, a little more efficiently.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Has the minister determined what kind of a man he wants as superintendent of pilots? I notice that there is an age limit as to the pilots themselves. Has the minister 5 p.m. thought of any age limit or any particular qualifications for the superintendent that he proposes to appoint?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I have not set any particular age, but I would like to get a man somewhere around forty or forty-five, or in any event not older than fifty,-a seafaring man who holds a master mariner's certificate and thoroughly understands navigation, in order that he can keep the pilotage system under his charge in the highest possible state of efficiency. We have not definitely fixed what his remuneration will be, but we hope to make it fair and reasonable. Such appointments would have to be made by the Civil Service Commission on the recommendation of the Department of Marine.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I understand the minister to say that there is to be no change of official's that are really necessary for the carrying on of the work now. At the present time there are two men in connection with the pilotage commission in Sydney, a treasurer and paymaster and a secretary. The latter is Mr. Kimiber; I forget the name of the paymaster. I understand that those officials are to be continued, and that the same system of collecting dues from the ships will obtain just as it does now.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: I will -qualify my
answer by stating that it is not our intention to disturb the local conditions at all. The dues will be levied and collected in the usual way, and we hope to retain all of the officials there. But if the local superintendent should report to the department that it will not be necessary to have a secretary and also a treasurer-I do not know that he will so report-some action might have to be taken. It is hard to anticipate what recommendations will be made; but generally speaking it is not my intention or that of the department to interfere in any way with those old efficient officials.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Under present conditions the pilotage commissioners meet twice a year to receive applications for the positions of pilots and pilot apprentices. If a pilot dies or gets too old, some one must be appointed to take his place. How is that class of work to be carried on now, and how are apprentices to be obtained and appointed? How are pilots to be appointed, say, in Sydney harbour?


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: If a vacancy occurred in the pilotage system at Sydney or if apprentice pilots were required, the local superintendent of pilots would make the necessary recommendation to the general superintendent of pilots whom I hope to have at Ottawa in charge of all local superintendents. In that way we get the necessary information. We are guided very largely by the advice of the local pilotage man and of the general superintendent of pilots here.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: The shipping at Sydney Harbour is very large indeed; it must rank third among the shipping lists of Canada. The maintaining of the pilotage system there at a first-class standard is very important to shipowners and to the good name

of the port. I fear that the minister will find it difficult to maintain an efficient system by depending entirely upon some one individual who has exclusive jurisdiction in the selection of apprentices and pilots. I understood the minister to say the other day that some form of examination would be prescribed for these pilots. Will this examination be held at local points? It would be inconvenient for men at St. John, Halifax or Sydney to be obliged to go to Ottawa for examination. Moreover, persons concerned in these examinations would like to know as soon as possible what kind of examination they will have to pass.


Charles Colquhoun Ballantyne: The Quebec district has 62 pilots and 10 apprentice pilots; the Montreal district has 51 pilots; Sydney has 33 pilots and 7 apprentice pilots. We have found the system under the Minister of Marine and a competent local superintendent to work admirably in the Montreal and Quebec districts. The examinations would, of course, be held locally. Here is just a line or two from the recommendations of the Royal Commission which was appointed to inquire into the conditions in these pilotage districts:
That the tests far the eyesight and hearing of the pilots, and (present apprentices, be conducted on a standard basis, the same system applying in the various districts.
The basis for examination will be the same in all the ports. They go on to say:
That such tests should be held annually in the cases of pilots and apprentices under the age of 65, and semi-annually in the case of pilots between the ag>s of 65 and 70.
They further recommend that pilots and apprentice pilots undergo each year an examination as regards eyesight, colourblindness and hearing, before a medical officer and an officer of the Department of Marine, both selected by the minister; and that sight tests shall be the same as those passed by candidates for masters' and mates' examinations. I assure hon. members that my only object in asking the Committee to pass this Bill is that of improving the standard of the pilotage system of Canada. The shipping people are asking for this legislation; the Royal Commission strongly recommends it. Our experience in Montreal and Quebec districts has been so eminently satisfactory that I have no hesitation in recommending the adoption of the Bill.

Preamble agreed to.

Bill reported, read the third time and passed.

[Stage Direction]
On motion of Right Hon. Sir Robert Borden (Prime (Minister), Bill No. 130, to amend an Act to incorporate The Canadian Red Cross (Society, was read the second time, and the House went into Committee thereon, Mr. J. M. Douglas in the Chair.
On section 1-Purposes of the society extended to include work in times of peace.
Sir ROBERT BORDEN:: The section which is proposed to be amended, section 2 of chapter 68 of the statutes of 1909, reads as follows:-
The purposes of the society shall be,-
1.	To furnish volunteer aid to the sick and wounded of armies in time of war, in accordance with the spirit and conditions of the conference of Geneva of October, 1863, and also of the treaty of the Red Cross or the treaty of Geneva of August twenty-second, 1864, to which Great Britain has given its adhesion ;
2.	To perform all the duties devolved upon a national society by each nation which has acceded to said treaty, but in affiliation with the said British Red Cross Society;
3.	To euoceed to and take over al the rights and property heretofore or now held and enjoyed by, and all the duties heretofore performed by, the unincorporated association known as the Canadian Red Cross Society.
It is proposed by this Bill to add to that section as subsection 4, the following:-
"(4) In time of peace to carry on and assist in work for the Improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffering throughout the wcrld."
When the Bill was introduced, I explained that 'there had been held at Geneva a convention at which a number of the Red Cross societies of the world were represented, and at which a conclusion was reached that the Red Cross societies should undertake work of this kind in time of peace. The idea impressed itself very much upon the representatives of the different nations assembled at the Peace Conference at Paris, and when (the Covenant of the League of Nations was finally presented and accepted, it included this clause:
The members of the League agree to encourage and promote the establishment and co-operation -of duly authorized voluntary national Red Cross organizations having as purposes the improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitigation of suffering throughout the world.
President Wilson when he presented the final draft of the League of Nations' Coven-

ant at a.plenary session of the Peace Conference held on the 28th April, last, spoke of this article as follows:
Article XXV specifically mentions the Ked Cross as one of the international organizations which are to connect and work with the work of the League.
The purpose of this Bill is merely to empower the Canadian Red Cross Society, in connection with other societies of a similar character throughout the world, to continue to carry on its work in time of peace as well as in time of war.


Mr. ALFRED THOMPSON:: Representatives of the Red Cross organization, the St. John Ambulance Association, the St. John Ambulance Brigade and the Victorian Order of Nurses met in Ottawa about two or three months ago with the idea and for the purpose of uniting these four organizations into one organization for work in Canada. At that meeting it was generally understood that an amalgamation of these four organizations would take place. Later on something happened whereby the Red Cross Society changed iits attitude towards the suggested movement. I might say, in explanation, that the Red Cross Society has up to this time been an organization which functions only during times of war. The St. John Ambulance Association has been functioning during times of peace and carrying on a rather extensive teaching programme which has resulted in turning out first aid assistants to physicians and others in need of that kind of work. The St. John Ambulance Brigade is ian organization which employed these trained students and administered 'that particular part of the work. The Victorian Order of Nurses, as every hon. member knows, is a nurses' organization, the ramifications of which pretty well cover Canada. It seemed to the representatives of these four organizations that, to prevent over-lapping and also to prevent these different organizations from so-to-speak, ploughing the same field for funds to carry on their work, it would be a good thing to combine them. I was, therefore, somewhat surprised the other day to find the Prime Minister bringing in this amendment to the Act to incorporate the Canadian Red Cross Society. I am not yet quite sure as to why the Red Cross Society, a war organization, is now desirous of carrying on the same work in times of peace, in view of the fact that there are in this country other organizations already organized for that work,
including a teaching staff to turn out these voluntary aid nurses, an organization to administer them and the Victorian Order of Nurses as well. I am not particularly criticising this amendment; I am speaking rather with the idea of getting a little more information upon the policy of the Red Cross Society now since it intends entering an entirely new field, that is to say, to function during times.of peace.


Robert Laird Borden: I do not know that I can give my hon. friend very much more information than I have given already. I did not know anything about the meeting to which he alludes, and I think it would be most desirable that there should be a working arrangement between the organizations in question. But I should like to point out to him that there cannot be this working arrangement until this society receives the power which it is asking for now, and I should not imagine there would be any possible objection to giving to a society which has done such wonderful work in every country throughout the world during the war an opportunity of continuing and extending its usefulness during times of peace. It is to be hoped that those who are entrusted with the management of the different organizations in question will not be led astray by any feeling of jealously or rivalry, but that they will unite in a common and concerted action and co-operation for the purpose of doing the most good that they can. But it is quite impossible for this society to engage in any work of. the kind until it receives the power which by this amendment it is proposed to give it.


Mr. COWAN:: I am very much pleased to hear the words of the Prime Minister, because they are words with which I thoroughly agree. I was present at the meeting referred to by the hon. member (Mr. A. Thompson), and I know the attitude that was taken there. The purpose was not to amalgamate all these organizations; the purpose was to have a working arrangement between them. It would be most undesirable at the present time to have two or more large bodies, well recognized and all holding good positions in the life of our people, engaged in similar work. We want to prevent everything in the shape of overlapping, so that the interest of the people will be best served at the least possible cost. For that reason we are desirous of having a working arrangement between all these organizations, and I hope the Prime

Minister will render all assistance possible in seeing that that arrangement is brought about.


Robert Laird Borden: I certainly shall use all my influence towards that end, because I entirely agree with what the hon. gentleman (Mr. Cowan) has said. In speaking of the excellent service that has beerT given by the Red Cross, I hope I shall not be. understood as lacking in appreciation of the splendid work done by all the other organizations which have been spoken of this afternoon.

Such sums, subject to the conditions of the proposed legislation, shall be allotted and shall be paid quarterly as grants to the governments of the several provinces in proportion to the population of the said provinces respectively as determined by the last federal census.

3.	That the grant payable to any province in any year shall not exceed the amount provided for each province by the foregoing resolutions, nor shall it exceed an amount equivalent to that which the Provincial Government shall expend on technical education within such year.
4.	That in determining .the grant payable to any province annually, no acount shall be taken of any liability or expenditure incurred by the province for the acquiring of land, the erection or improvement of any buildings, or .the supplying of furnishings or equipment for any technical education institution established in the province prior to the first day of April, 1919.
5.	That the payment of the grants hereinbefore authorized shall be made subject to the following terms and condition®:.-*
(a) All payments shall be applied and use ' for technical education in the manner agreed upon by the minister and the government of each province; every such agreement shall be approved by the Governor in Council;
(to) No portion of any grant shall be used in whole or in part in meeting any liability or expenditure of any kind whatsoever incurred in any province prior to the first day of July, 1919, for , lands, buildings, furnishings, or equipment secured or provided for technical education purposes;
(c)	Not more than twenty-five per centum of the annual grant payable to any province shall be applied for acquiring land, erecting, extending or improving buildings or supplying furnishings and equipment;

(f)	Every province receiving a grant shall furnish the minister with such evidence as he may require to show that the grants paid hereunder are expended for technical education as provided by the proposed legislation.
6.	That any portion of any appropriation authorized under this proposed legislation which may remain unexpended at the expiration of any of the said fiscal years, shall be carried forward and remain available according to its apportionment for the purposes of this proposed legislation during any one or more of the succeeding years; provided that not more .than twenty-five .per centum of any annual appropriation shall be so carried forward and remain available without the approval of the minister.
7.	This proposed legislation shall not apply to any province until the Government thereof has by Order in Council approved its provisions and signified its desire to take advantage thereof.
Mr. McKENZil.E:	Will the minister
please explain the principle of the resolution?
Mr. OALDER:: Probably a brief general
statement from me at the present time will expedite the work of the Committee before we get down to consideration of the clauses

in detail. It will not be necessary for me at this stage to make any extended remarks with reference to the desirability of providing for technical education throughout Canada. That is a matter that has been discussed in the House time and again in the course of the past ten years, and as I understand the situation, there has practically been unanimity in the view that some action in this regard should be taken. If I mistake not, the last time the subject was before the House was in 1915, on a motion introduced by the hon. member for Maisonneuve (Mr. Lemieux), and there was at that time a very full discussion of the whole subject. At the conclusion of the debate the Hon. Mr. Rogers, then Minister of Public Works, intimated to the House that it might be expected that the Federal Government would at an early session bring down a measure providing for federal assistance to the cause of technical education.
The resolution before the Committee sets forth the conditions under which the Federal Government now purposes to give assistance to the provinces in the carrying on of technical education work. It will be remembered that in 1910 a Royal Commission was appointed to investigate this whole subject. The commission consisted of seven members, with Dr. James Robertson as chairman. The commissioners were gentlemen eminently qualified to carry on that investigation, and a very large number of meetings were held throughout Canada in about a hundred different places. Considerable evidence was taken, some 1,400 or 1,500 witnesses having been called.
The whole situation in Canada was very carefully and exhaustively reviewed, and in addition to their work in the Dominion the commission went abroad, conducting investigations in England, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, and the United States, with a view to ascertaining what these countries had done in the way of providing for vocational and technical education. As a result of all these inquiries held in Canada and abroad, the commission prepared an exhaustive and elaborate report, which was submitted to Parliament in 1913. Any member of the Committee who desires to make himself thoroughly acquainted with conditions that existed at that time in Canada and in the foreign countries which the commission visited will find that report a veritable storehouse of useful and interesting information. Indeed, the report of that commission is regarded as one of the best treatises that can be
found anywhere on the subject of technical education, and any member interested in the questions involved in the subject will find a perusal of the report profitable. The report recommended that the Parliament of Canada should set aside annually a sum of $3,350,000 for a period of ten years to assist the provinces in carrying on vocational work and technical education. The Government has not seen its way clear to adopt the recommendations of the commissioners in that respect. The investigations and report were made prior to the war, the report having been submitted in 1913, and every member of the Committee will realize that conditions in Canada to-day are not what they were in 1913.
The statement made to-day by the hon. Minister of Finance clearly indicates the obligations that have been cast upon the Dominion Government as a result of the war. I have no hesitation in saying that in my judgment the provinces are at present in equally as good a financial position as the Dominion, if not better, and consequently there is not the necessity now for rendering assistance to the provinces to the same extent as there was in 1913 or prior to that date. At any rate, the Government, after a careful consideration of the entire situation, has come to the conclusion that for the present at least we should not attempt to provide the amount of federal assistance that was suggested by the commission. The purpose of this resolution is to provide for this work, covering a period of ten years, grants aggregating $10,000,000 for distribution among the provinces, the grants to begin this year at $700,000 and to be increased annually by $100,000, until a maximum total appropriation of $1,100,000 is made available; and that to continue until the end of the ten-year period. In adopting this scale we have followed the plan that was adopted in the case of grants under the Agricultural Aids Act passed by parliament some years ago. In other words, the grants under the proposed Bill for technical education will be on all fours with those that are payable under the Agricultural Aids Act, and the distribution in the main is along practically the same lines, although there is a slight variation which I do not think is necessary in this case. I think probably it -might save time if I should leave the details of the scheme for -consideration when we come to each clause.
Broadly speaking, it is proposed that we should, by agreement with the provinces, undertake to expend for technical educa-
.3166

tion purposes a sum beginning with $700,000 to be increased gradually up to $1,100,000, the whole to be spread over a period of ten years, and the total amount expended at the end of that time to be $10,000,000. Last year this subject was brought up at the Provincial Conference held in Ottawa,-the largest conference, I think, that has ever been held here. The subject was very fully discussed and at the conclusion there was practically a unanimity of opinion that there would be no difficulty in carrying out a plan of this kind. In previous debates in this House a good deal of attention was given to the question of jurisdiction. In the debate which occured in 1916 on the motion of the hon. member for Maisonneuve, probably the greater portion of the discussion centered around this question, and while that point may be to a certain extent at issue, we were assured at the conference held last fall by all the provinces that they did not anticipate any serious difficulty in this direction. It was rightly pointed out that under the Agricultural Aids Act they have experienced very little if any difficulty. The Minister of Agriculture here, and the Ministers of Agriculture in the provincial Governments, have readily been able to arrive at an agreement whereby the moneys provided by that Act should be expended.
All the provincial prime ministers who were present at the conference held last fall assured the Federal Government that they did not anticipate the slightest difficulty in that regard. They also assured us that, to make certain that these moneys were properly and legitimately expended they would not put any difficulty in the way of the Federal Government going into these institutions and seeing that the money was expended for the purpose for which it had been provided. If the measure is approved by the Committee and the House I think we may anticipate no trouble in that connection.
It seems to me that it is not necessary at this time to say anything as to the advisability of having work of this kind done. While many of our provinces have established technical educational institutions, while they are carrying on vocational training in its various branches, and while many are conducting industrial night schools, I think we will all agree that the amount of work of that kind which is being done in Canada is not as extensive as it should be. There is an actual need for an advance in this respect. We all know what the condition is throughout the world. There is go-
[Mr. CaWer.I
ing to be keen competition in the industrial field and, if Canada is going to play her part in the struggle that we must expect for some years to come, it seems to me that it is absolutely necessary that we should take a forward step in the direction of fitting the workmen engaged in our industries, and also in training the youth of the land, so that we may become supreme in our various industries. Work has been done in this direction in most of. the provinces and every credit must be given for what has been accomplished in that direction. We have some splendid technical institutions in Canada now. The number is not as large as it should be. These institutions are very costly as regards capital expenditure and maintenance. I think all will agree with me that everything that can be done by the Federal Government in rendering assistance in order that this work may be extended throughout Canada will be very generously approved not only by Parliament, but by the people of Canada as well.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Mr. Chairman, I am
sure that we entirely agree with the minister in the statement that he has made that no argumentative persuasion is necessary to convince this Committee that technical education is a prime necessity in this country. That is one of the subjects upon which we are all agreed. It was in 1910 that the commission, with Dr. Robertson at its head, was appointed in connection with technical education. I had the pleasure of attending some of the sittings in different parts of the country, and I was pleased to see that they were going so thoroughly into the subject. Although I never had the opportunity of reading their report, I believe it is a first-class accumulation of useful information and direction along the lines for which the commission was appointed. I also agree with the minister that at this stage in the life of Canada, when it is so absolutely necessary that we should take a first position in all productive efforts, it is essential that our manufactures should be of the first order and that everything that is turned out in competition with keen producers in other parts of the world should be of the finest quality and the best workmanship. When we consider all these things it is to be understood at once how necessary it is for us that our workmen and women should have the proper training and education to compete with producers all over the world.
We have in Nova Scotia a very excellent technical college. That college was estab-

lished at a great deal of expense, possibly an amount of money that might be regarded as a little beyond the capacity of the province at the time. Nevertheless, the people have approved of the expenditure and many of our young people have received more benefit from it perhaps than from the expenditure on any other educational institution in the province. There is a working arrangement between the different universities and the college by which two years of training in any one of the universities counts for attendance at college, and in two years more students can get their degrees in the particular lines in which they seek to graduate, such as engineering or whatever else they might set out to study. It is well to make this technical education as practical, and to bring it as close to the people, as possible. In Nova Scotia we get the benefit of the larger training and the wider knowledge that is acquired at that college through several smaller schools all over the province principally in connection with our coal mines.	We have small
branches established here and there in which classes are trained so as to enable them to pass for the different grades of officers in connection with the coal mines. They take the courses for underground manager, manager, and other positions, all of which call for an examination, and candidates have succeeded in passing most creditable examinations by attending these schools, which are usually night schools. I would suggest that, in co-operation with the local authorities all over the Dominion, the minister should encourage the improvement of these local schools. They are now working under disabilities. The teacher can only be given a small salary and he is usually a man who has to work for his living during the day, giving perhaps three or four nights in the week to the work of teaching in these schools. The schools have done excellent work in encouraging our young men. It is to be stated with pride that, whereas twenty or thirty years ago we have very few of our own young men acting as mine managers in Nova Scotia, and we had to get managers from Scotland, England and Wales, the condition is entirely reversed now. Although we have ten times as many managers now as then, we have scarcely any person in charge of our works except our own men who have received their education in our own schools and colleges. I hope the minister will find it convenient and possible to extend this line of education to all the industries in the country.
In large manufacturing centres it is highly desirable that technical education should be introduced among the workmen, and matters so arranged that it would be an advantage to any person engaged in any class of manufacturing in this country that he or she shall have passed a course of training in some one of these schools.
I wish to point out to the minister on thing in connection with shipbuilding in Canada. Some forty years ago Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island carried on a great deal of shipbuilding, largely wooden ships, but it had rather gone out of vogue and comparatively very few people were paying any attention to it. Since the war there has been a revival in shipbuilding on onr Pacific and Atlantic coasts, but the sad part of it is that in many cases it was extremely difficult to find anybody who knew anything about the building of a ship. I know of an instance in my own county where men grouped themselves together, formed a company, and started to build ships, but they found it very difficult indeed to acquire the services of an experienced shipbuilder. I think they ultimately found in Newfoundland a man who possessed the necessary qualifications. Now seeing that wooden shipbuilding and iron and steel building are pretty much along the same lines, I would suggest to the minister that broader fields of this kind should be considered and the expenditure of this money should . not be confined to . any narrow limits. Rather the greatest possible expansion should be given to our ideas in this direction, and thus put Canada on the highway to prosperity in all the lines of commercial enterprise, productiveness, and development generally, for which we are so well fitted and which the resources of the country render us so capable of undertaking.


John Howard Sinclair: I must congratulate the minister on taking this step and I am very pleased indeed that something is now being done to promote the spread of technical education. I have been a member of this House for some fifteen years and the subject has been discussed on several occasions, but we have been very slow in the matter of accomplishment. If there is a criticism to make it is that the resolution does not apply to the current year.


James Alexander Calder: It applies to the current year.


John Howard Sinclair: Then I withdrew my criticism in that regard. Another point I wish to make is that the Federal Government should not tie up the provinces in matters affecting technical education where the business can better be conducted by a Provincial Government and the whole responsibility thrown upon it. The present administration seems to be working out a policy by which the local legislatures will be tied up to the Federal authority. That would appear to be evident in connection with the housing and road-building policies and the present technical education scheme. I think it would be more in the interest of the country if, when there is money that can be spared for local purposes, that money should be given at once in the form of a subsidy to the local Government and the responsibility thrown upon it of making the expenditure in the best interest of the province.
In regard to the proposal which we are now considering, a good deal will depend upon the administration. In the province from which I come domestic science and manual training are taught in the main public schools; and in the mining districts as my hon. friend (Mr. McKenzie) has said, we have had for a good many years schools for training miners in the technical part of their education. Then in the industrial centres there are night schools and other schools where boys can take a course in technical education. The question I want to raise is whether the money expended in various directions on technical schools by a province will be counted in the total estimate of the amount to be contributed by it? Do I understand that the proposition we are considering means that if $100,000 is contributed by the Federal Government to a province, the latter must put up an equal amount? If I am correct in that, then, for example, in the province of Nova Scotia, where some of the schools giving instruction in manual training, domestic science, and so forth, are supported by the town or municipality, will the money so furnished be counted in the $100,000 that will be contributed by the province? As I say a good deal depends on the administration, and if the minister insists that the money contributed by the province shall be devoted entirely to what is called in a narrow sense technical education, it will make a great difference in the .administration of the Act.


James Alexander Calder: It will be noticed from the resolution that in determining the grant payable to any province no account

shall be taken of any liabilities or expenditure incurred by the province for the acquiring of land, the erection or improvement of any buildings or the supplying of furnishings or equipment for any technical educational institution established in the province prior to the first of April, 1919. That is, no account shall be taken of capital expenditures heretofore incurred by the province.


John Howard Sinclair: I am not referring to capital expenditures.


James Alexander Calder: I am just coming to the point which was raised by the hon. gentleman. In so far as the scheme generally is concerned it is not proposed that the Federal Government .should grant any assistance to the provinces for carrying on domestic science, vocational training, nature study, manual training, or any of that class of work in our elementary schools. Courses in such subjects are now given by the various provinces of Canada in all the elementary schools; that instruction is going on throughout the country. For example, in the rural schools of Saskatchewan they are now teaching cooking and sewing, and the farm boys are taught manual training and kindred subjects. Some reports were furnished me the other day by one of our inspectors who looks after certain foreign-speaking districts in the province, and the class of work that is carried on even amongst our foreign-bom ' people in the rural portions of Saskatchewan, and the success which has been achieved, is really amazing. Practically the the same sort of instruction is being oarried on in all the urban centres of Canada; and the provinces have come to recognize their responsibility for these new forms of elementary school work. So it is not intended, under this resolution, or under the Bill to be founded upon it, to take into account at all whatever expenditures are made by the provinces in that direction.
I am speaking of the education that is given to the boys and girls in the ordinary elementary schools, or even in the ordinary high schools, because certain phases of that work are carried on in the high schools as well.
There is another branch of what is referred to by the leader of the Opposition; that is, certain industrial classes that are held not for teaching youths or children, but young men who are actually working in industries, and some of the provinces

have embarked on a very large programme in that regard. This Bill will be administered by the Minister of Labour. I have had a good many conversations with him, and he has in mind that that is one of the most important features of the work to be done. While we must have our technical educational institutions, that is, the large institutions thoroughly equipped in order to give the technical training associated with those institutions, we cannot bring that type of institution to everybody, and his idea is that wherever it is possible to give workmen who are in their ordinary employment the benefit of technical education by bringing instructors to them in order to increase their efficiency, that should be done. Because, after all, the results that can be secured under measures of this kind are not entirely attributable to large buildings and costly equipment. More, in my judgment, depends upon the instructor than upon anything else, and as far as possible the moneys provided by means of these grants should be used for the purpose of securing proper instructors and training them. In the United States -where they have given a great deal of attention to the subject, more so than we have here, and where they have made far greater advances than we have-under, I think, the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917, they provide for a co-operative scheme with the States, and the grants are payable entirely for the purpose of providing salaries for instructors and for training them, because they realize, as I am sure we realize more and more every day, that that is really the heart of the whole situation. We must have the men who can give proper instruction in the various classes of subjects to be taught. I do not know whether I have met the hon. gentleman's point or not.


John Howard Sinclair: With regard to the mixed system which we have in our province, part of the money that supports those technical schools is contributed by the provincial governmeent and part by the towns. Will that money count in the total for the province? I see no reason why it should not.


James Alexander Calder: It is not proposed that any contribution made by a municipality for the establishment or maintenance of one of these institutions shall be taken into account. ThAt is a matter of arrangement betweeen the provincial Government and the local authorities. It is proposed that our grant shall equal the amount that is
expended by the province. What arrangement it cares to make with the municipality is a matter of its own concern.


Mr. FIELDING:: I would ask the minister whether the exact terms of these resolutions have been the subject of discussion with the provincial governments; and, if so, whether they are acceptable to those governments. Of course, I know the scheme can only apply to any province after the Governor in Council has approved of the agreement entered into with the province. But sometimes we may propose something, which, however good its intention, the provincial governments may not be able to take advantage of. I am afraid there is something of that in out efforts to aid highways. But in this case my question is whether the provincial governments have been made aware of these resolutions and have intimated that they will be satisfactory.
I would like to emphasize the point raised by my hon. friend (Mr. J. H. Sinclair). I was about to ask the same question-whether the department here would insist upon limiting the expenditure to the sum paid by the Government of the province directly, or whether it might be expended under the educational system of the province, perhaps not by the provincial government but by the municipalities. The mere fact that the work is done by the municipalities does not condemn it if it is technical education. I suppose when we have the Bill before us my hon. friend will give us a better definition of what he considers is technical education under the Act, and perhaps until the Bill is brought down it will be just as well to reserve criticism. But it will be necessary to have a definite understanding on these two points: first, as to what is the technical education to which this money may be applied; and, second, if technical education is carried on in any province by arrangement between the provincial government and the municipalities why should not that count in. I only ask my hon. friend to give it consideration in framing the Bill. I have in mind the mining schools in Nova Scotia to which my hon. friend the leader of the Opposition referred. They have been doing good work in that province and they are strictly technical institutions. I have no doubt that it will be possible to adapt this measure to the conditions existing in the different provinces.
At six o'clock the Committee took recess.



After Recess.
The Committee resumed at eight o'clock.


Mr. O. TURGEON:: Mr. Chairman, it has long been expected that some action would be taken in the matter dealt with by this resolution. Some time ago a commission of inquiry went fully into the subject of technical education and industrial training, and the report which it submitted received the admiration of all countries. At last the recommendations of this report are being put into effect. In New Brunswick we have been very much in need of technical education in all its branches, and I have no doubt that the Provincial Government will co-operate in every possible way to make this measure a success.
Such matters as technical education, highways, and so on may be dealt with by the Dominion Government in such a way as to constitute an infringement of provincial rights. I have always been an advocate of provincial rights, and I believe that there is no stronger or more sincere advocate of provincial rights than the Minister of Immigration (Mr. Calder) who presents this resolution. I remember that in 1913, when a Highways Bill was proposed which would have curtailed provincial rights, no Provincial Government was more pronounced in its opposition to that proposed infringement of provincial rights than the Government of which my hon. friend was a member at that time. My hon. friend from Alberta (Mr. Sifton) was also a strong advocate of provincial rights. The provinces of Ganada are all examples of just and progressive administration of provincial affairs. Nova Scotia has certainly been a worthy example of the proper administration of provincial matters. Quebec is noted all over the Dominion as a province which is strong in its administration of local affairs. Ontario is	also	strong and	determined in its provincial administration, and the provinces of the West have been properly administering the matters which come under their jurisdiction. I have always contended that the subsidies paid to the provinces by the Dominion are insufficient. Last autumn when the provincial Premiers met in conference at Ottawa a demand was made for an increase of the subsidies paid to the provinces. I would have been pleased had that increase been granted, and the provinces thus been	put	in a	better position to look after such things as housing and highways and technical education.

The provinces have not been able to make progress in these matters because of the lack of means. Some of the provinces have taken these matters up, however, and have dealt with them to the extent of their ability to do so. In Quebec there are a great many technical institutions which are a credit to the province and would be a credit to any province.
I congratulate the minister upon bringing forward such a measure as this; he has done one good thing in this Government, if he has done nothing else. I hope that with the knorvledge that he has of the ability of the provinces to conduct their own affairs; with the confidence that he has in the men administering the affairs of the provinces, and with his solicitude for the maintenance of provincial rights, he will be able to impose his will upon his colleagues in the same direction in the future. I hope that the Government will not bring forward any further measure which may have a tendency to infringe upon provincial rights. Had the provinces ' the means to do so, they would deal with these matters according to their own judgment and with all the ardour which they have displayed in other matters. It is time the attention of the Government was directed to the tendency of the Federal authority to encroach upon provincial rights. The Minister of Immigration, as I have said, was certainly a great "provincial righter" when he was in the Provincial Government, and his transfer to the Federal Government certainly has not changed his principles in that regard.


James Alexander Calder: The question which the hon. gentleman (Mr. Turgeon) has just raised is a very large one; it goes very much beyond the provisions of this resolution or of the Bill to be founded upon it. 1 thoroughly concur in the view that he expresses. It is very unfortunate that the relationship between the Federal Government and the provinces has not been so established that the provinces can carry on the work assigned to them under our constitution. For many years they have been pleading lack of funds, and in my judgment there is a great deal to be said in favour of that plea. As to matters of education, highways, and things of that character, there is no doubt in my mind that, the provinces should be left to carry on the work which, under the British North America Act, they were evidently intended to carry on. However, the question of the adjustment of the subsidies paid to the provinces is a very large one; probably it

will be some years before it is definitely settled. One or two slight adjustments have been made since Confederation. I think all the provinces to-day take the ground that the arrangement is a very unsatisfactory one from their point of view, having regard to the many changes that have taken place since 1867.
The hon. member is not quite right when he says that at the conference of provincial premiers and representatives last autumn, a general request was made for enlarged provincial subsidies. At that conference the question of the transfer to the Western Provinces of their natural resources came up for consideration, and in connection with that matter it was suggested that if the Western Provinces received their natural resources, the other provinces should receive increased subsidies.
I am not going to debate the question now, but generally speaking, I thoroughly concur in the view set forth by my hon. friend that if an arrangement could be made whereby the provinces could receive larger subsidies it would be an advantage if they were allowed to carry on and administer those local matters which it was intended by the British North America Act they should carry on. But I think it will be some time before an agreement is reached between the federal and the provincial authorities on this subject.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I have listened with a great, deal of interest to my hon. friend, and I think his remarks are quite timely. Yet I do not Delieve, as the minister has stated, that in the resolution there is any infringement of provincial rights. As I have on two occasions moved resolutions praying the Government to give effect to the report published by the commissioners on technical education, without, however, carrying conviction, I am rather pleased to see that today the Government is giving effect in part to that very able report. Of course, when the subject of education is brought before the federal House grave problems are found to be involved. But in those debates to which I have referred I endeavoured to draw a distinction between technical education as such and education in the sense in which it is understood generally and which makes between this Parliament and the local legislatures such a cleavage of opinion. Constitutionally, of course, the Federal Parliament cannot deal with matters of education.
As regards technical education, it would be playing on words to suggest that the
question as it presents itself constitutes an infringement on the provincial powers witn regard to the larger issue of education, because we have already in this Parliament provided, for instance, by the erection of the military college at Kingston, education in connection with military matters, which are under Dominion jurisdiction. We have in another sense provided education in matters of agriculture, which is a question which comes concurrently under both provincial and Dominion jurisdiction. I was always of opinion that in connection with trade and industry this Parliament was justified in promoting the cause of technical education. Altuough some of the provinces have, during the last twenty-five or thirty years, taken quite a lead, yet all credit must be given to the little province by the sea, Nova Scctia, which many years ago was the pioneer in matters of technical education. That is the reason why the men from Nova Scotia have so distinguished themselves not only in the political field, but in the industrial and educational lines throughout the Dominion. It is because in that little province, there is a thorough and most effective system of education, and technical education is not the least feature of the larger system. I am proud to say that Ontario has gone pretty far in matters of technical education, and of late the province from which I come has accomplished considerably in that field. We have in Quebec at present what I consider the banner institution as regards technical education. Those who have visited in Montreal the technical school on Sherbrooke street will not hesitate to say that it is the finest institution of the kind in Canada and one of the finest in America. I have not the statistics at hand, but I know from the report of the Provincial Secretary that the establishment of that school in our province has produced very satisfactory results.
I will give only a solitary instance ot what has been accomplished by that school. Four years ago I met at Drummondville a farmer's son who had just received his degree at the Technical Institute at Montreal. It was at the time when young men were asked to help towards the production of munitions, and technical experts were needed in various establishments to promote that production. That young French Canadian, having received a letter of introduction from your humble servant, went to one of the munition manufacturers in Montreal, and inside of six weeks he was at the head of that establishment. He was

not more than twenty-one years old and was already receiving a very large salary. There I had a concrete example of what technical education can accomplish.
I know that, as a rule, speaking for my province, while the men of Quebec have an ingrained intelligence for industrial work, they have lacked that last finishing touch which technical education will develop. In the last five years there has been quite a change in this connection, and our young men have become leaders of industry. I have that from no less an authority than Lord Shaughnessy himself. The Canadian Pacific, as hon. members are aware, employs a large number of technical experts in its shops throughout Canada, and I know that in the district of Montreal, the young men who have passed through the technical school are now getting large salaries and steady employment from our railway companies and large industrial firms. Therefore, I see with pleasure the determination qf the Government to do something practical towards promoting the cause of technical education throughout Canada. We all know that the success of Germany notably, and also of the United States, and of the Mother Country, in industrial fields, is due chiefly to the high technical education which has been spread throughout the industrial districts of those countries.
Now that this unfortunate war is over, and now that, as we were told this afternoon, our country must produce not only in the field of agriculture, which is the basic industry of Canada, but also in the industrial lines, the more we spend wisely on technical education the greater will be the part that our production will play in the commerce of the world.
There is only one thing I regret, and it is the fact .that- this legislation comes 'so late. In connection with this matter and others too, the Government should have started its programme during the war. Its present measure seems to be rather tardy. However, "better late than never," and I shall vote with pleasure to carry on this policy. I said a moment ago that I appreciated the remarks made toy my hon. friend from Gloucester (Mr. Turgeon) in regard to provincial autonomy. But I believe that there are safeguards in the legislation which is being promoted by the hon. Minister of Immigration and Colonization. Subsection (f) of the resolution provides that every province receiving a grant shall furnish the minister with the necessary evidence to show that the grants paid are expended for technical edu-
['Mr. Lemieux.]
cation as provided by the proposed legislation. This is a safeguard for both the province and the Dominion. The Dominion Government has the right to see that such moneys as are advanced are spent for the object intended, and that object alone the same as in the case of the moneys given to the provinces for the promotion of agriculture. A grant is made yearly .to the various provinces and the Federal authorities exercise a moderate control of the same nature as that now proposed, I am quite sure that my hon. friend (Mr. Gaidar), knowing the several provinces as he does, will have no difficulty in coming .to an understanding with the provincial authorities, and that there will be between the Provincial Governments and the Dominion Government an entente cordiale on this particular subject. As I said a moment ago, I do not wish to delay the Committee, but I desire to express my sincere approval of this policy of promoting technical education in the various provinces of the Dominion. The report of the commission appointed in 1910 to investigate the question, and which was tabled many sessions ago, is a most interesting one. Indeed, it is creditable to Canada that such a report should have been published. The report itself is too bulky to be properly read with any expedition. It needs to be studied and inwardly digested, and to do it adequate justice would take time. But Professor Robertson has prepared a synopsis which ought to be read by every member of the Committee^ He goes much further than the question of technical education in industrial amd trade matters. He wants technical institutes for the fishermen and the farmers, and I suppose the day will come when the Government will give effect to the views expressed by Professor Robertson and thus implement the conclusions arrived at by the Commissioners who prepared that highly interesting report.


James Alexander Calder: The hon. member for M.aisonneuve (Mr. Lemieux) said he thought there would be no difficulty in coming to an agreement with the several provinces. When the Bill is before the House it will be seen that it is so worded as to be quite elastic in that respect, and I think that is only proper. In a country such as Canada, where varying conditions exist and with the many industries that we have, it was felt that the law should not be too rigid, and that the question as to the manner in which these moneys should be used should

largely be made the subject of an agreement between the federal and the provincial authorities. Personally, I think that principle is a sound one and I have not the slightest doubt, from the discussions that took place at the conference last fall, that there will be no difficulty whatever in coming to a proper working arrangement with each of the provinces. We shall have an opportunity of considering all the details of the Bill in Committee, and unless there is some other matter in connection with this resolution requiring explanation,
I would suggest that the resolution be allowed to go through, with the opportunity for further discussion in view.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Before the resolution is passed, I would call the attention of the minister to the system of distribution of this money as here set forth. Before six o'clock, when I was speaking on the matter, I had not an opportunity of carefully reading the resolution. Since then I have read it, and I submit to the minister that the method by which he proposes to distribute the money to the provinces is not in harmony with the system of free school education which has been established in nearly every province. In the old days poor children could not be educated because their fathers could not pay for their education. We largely surmounted that difficulty by establishing free schools, and perhaps our own province was the pioneer in this respect. There is in the smaller and perhaps poorer provinces just as much talent, ingenuity and ambition among the young people as in the larger and more wealthy and populous provinces. Now, if there is a poor province that cannot put up money for technical education it will receive none of this grant, and in any case it will not get any more than dollar for dollar on what it contributes. I ask the minister seriously to consider the question of making some proper provision in this respect. The idea is to help the genius of our people in the way of technical education, and there should be nothing to prevent the minister from distributing this money in such a manner as will effect that purpose. If a province has no money and cannot contribute for technical education $10,000,	$20,000 or $30,000, or whatever
amount may be sufficient to inaugurate the system, its people will not be helped at all. That was not the method in connection with the road grants. Twenty million dollars is supposed to be distributed to the provinces
for good roads. I understand that a lump sum is granted each province and the balance of the vote is divided among the provinces according to population. In that case the small province benefits fairly well with others that are more wealthy and populous.
lln this case, the province will not get more than it puts up. Take a sfnall province like Prince Edward Island with its very excellent talent. There is no province in Canada that has better men along technical, industrial and educational lines than the little province of Prince Edward Island. But when it comes to putting up thousands of dollars for the purpose of education, I am afraid it has not the revenue. The same thing to a great extent is true of the newer provinces such as British Columbia, and the result is that the bulk of this money will go to the two big, wealthy provinces of Ontario and Quebec. They are very much better off and better equipped for carrying out technical education without any help than the smaller provinces. I wish seriously to -remind the minister and the Government of this particular part of the scheme and to urge them to see that nothing is allowed to happen that will defeat the purpose of the vote.


James Alexander Calder: If this resolution is
adopted I think we might take it for granted that the principle that the hon. gentleman has referred to might be left for further consideration. Both in regards to agricultural aid and highways there is a provision whereby some of the provinces get a special grant. That is not done in this case but it is worth considering whether or not the same principle should be applied here. If the resolution is agreed to I think we could have an understanding that when the Bill is before us that principle is still open for discussion.	*
Mr. LEMIEUX That is, that a minimum will be fixed?


James Alexander Calder: Yes.


John Howard Sinclair: I hope the minister will not forget the suggestion I made in relation to industrial towns. There are industrial towns that are very anxious to have technical schools and they have levied a tax of a certain amount to establish and maintain these schools. If the province is not in a position to furnish the money, I see no reason why the towns should not be allowed to assess themselves to assist the province in establishing techni-

cal schools or why the money contributed should not count in the amount contributed by the province.


James Alexander Calder: I will bear that point in mind. I think it is well worth consideration. Let -me put it in concrete form. In the city of Peterborough, for instance, they are desirous of establishing a technical school. They are prepared to put up the necessary building, provide the equipment, and so on. The provincial government may not feel justified in giving a grant towards this institution but the local people are prepared to put up the money to take care of the capital expenditure and maintenance. Under the law, no grant would be available for that institution unless the province contributed to it. It is worth while to consider whether or not this grant should be made available if the municipalities, instead of the province, are prepared to assist a scheme of this kind.
Mr. PETER MoGIBBON: To my mind there is a possibility of this money being practically all consumed by large cities like Toronto and Hamilton .and that towns even as large as Peterborough will not participate in it to any great degree. Technical education, like education of any kind, is something that should be scattered broadcast throughout the country and it should be made possible for boys and girls in every part of the province to attend these schools if they so desire. It does not seem to me that there are any arrangements made whereby that can be worked out.
Mr. (CALDER: The question as to where these institutions shall be established and what money shall be expended in connection with them is all a matter of agreement between the provincial government and the Minister of Labour.
Mr. PETER MoGIBBON: I quite understand that hut the point I desired to make was that under the present provincial system that is practically what happens. When the Dominion Government is stepping into the field and giving $10,000,000, I think there should be some guarantee that this money shall not be concentrated in the large cities, because they Only supply a small percentage of the people.


Mr. PEDLOW:: What are the reasons for the provisions in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5, subsections (lb) and (c)? If the Dominion is prepared to make the grant that is provided for by this resolution it 
will be well to consider carefully the provisions that (these paragraphs seem to make. Take a municipality like the town of Renfrew. They are considering the advisability of erecting' a new collegiate institute in conjunction with which there is to be a technical school. They have arrived at a difficult point in their -consideration of the proposal. The difficulty is that, whereas the municipality pays the entire cost of constructing the building, the pupils -coming from outside the municipality pay nothing towards the cost. Over 55 per cent of the pu-pils -come from outside the municipality, and it is- considered very unfair that the municipality should provide the building and equipment for the education of pupils who come from the outside. Therefore, it is contended they should receive assistance towards the -building and equipment of the institution that provides education facilities for children who are not in the municipality. They have made application to the Provincial Government for assistance towards the erection of that building. I would like to know if it is the intention of this Government to allow a part of the grant, if this resolution is carried, for a specific case of that kind or must it be used only for the maintenance of the institution, no part of the money to be provided being used for the erection of the building?


James Alexander Calder: Under clause 3 of section 5 provision is- made to the effect that not more than 25 per cent of the grant payable to any province may be used for capital expenditure. Just where and how these moneys shall be used for capital expenditure will be a matter of agreement between the province and the Federal Government.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Why make an exception in applying a part of the grant to institutions which are already in existence? For instance, I understand, there is in Montreal a splendid institution in operation and doing excellent work. Why not provide in section 4 that part of this money shall be applied towards the improvement or extension of that institution? As I read the section in its present form that cannot be done.


James Alexander Calder: As I explained this afternoon, the purpose of this grant is to provide for new work, not to take care of old expenditure. The whole amount would be eaten up -by past expenditures if we were to adopt the hon. gentleman's suggestion.

What we want to do is to provide for new ' technical institutions and not take care of expenditures which have been already made.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: But suppose in the case of the institution referred to it - is desired to extend the building?


James Alexander Calder: There is nothing here that will prevent a grant being made providing it is to be applied to an extension. This provision only prohibits using these grants for past expenditures and does not relate to new outlays.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Then the Bill to be
founded on this resolution will make provision for that?


James Alexander Calder: Yes.
Besolution reported, read the first and second time and concurred in.
Mr. Calder thereupon moved for leave to introduce Bill 131, for the promotion of Technical Education in Canada.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.

[Stage Direction]
Hon. J. A. CALDEB (Minister of Immigration) moved that the amendment made by the Senate to Bin No. 52, to amend the Immigration Act, be now considered, and that Buie No. 29 in relation thereto be suspended.
Mr.   SPEAKEB@: This motion, of course,
can only be entertained by unanimous consent.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and the House went into 'Committee on the amendment, Mr. J. M. Douglas in the Chair.
James Alexander Calder: Section 2, paragraph (II) of the Bill as it left the House provides that:
Canadian domicile is lost, for the purposes of this Act, by a person voluntarily residing out of Canada not for a mere special or temporary purpose, but with the present intention of malting his permanent home out of Canada.
The Senate proposes that these words be added to the paragraph:
That his Canadian domicile be lost of a person temporarily residing out of Canada, or toy any person belonging to the prohibited or undesirable classes within the meaning of section 41 of this Act Section 41 enumerates the prohibited classes, and the paragraph in question is
so amended that any person belonging to these prohibited classes shall not be considered as obtaining Canadian domicile.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.
Senate amendment reported and concurred in.

Department of Railways and Canals.
Compassionate allowance to Mrs. G. Peterkin, mother of late Herve Baainet, who was drowned in discharge of his duty while in the employ of this Department on the Dachine Canal, on May 9, 191-8, $2,000.
['3997-4702\n2097-3192']
Mr. CASGBAIN:: I draw the minister's attention to an accident which took place about the month of June last on the Intercolonial between St. Pacome and Biviere Ouelle, as a result of which one man was killed. I think the cause was a collision between two engines. The hon. member for Maisonneuve (Mr. Lemieux) and myself happened to be on. the spot and saw the victim of the accident. Compassionate allowances have been given to the relatives of other victims, and I do not see why the same provision should not be made in this case.	-


Hon. J. D. BEID (Minister of Bailways and Canals):: Does the hon. gentleman know whether the victim was an employee of the Government or not?


Charles Eusèbe Casgrain: Yes, he was an employee of the Government.


John Dowsley Reid: Then he would come
under the Workmen's Compensation Act. The hon. member will recollect that we passed a Workmen's Compensation Act last session under which in cases of accident or death the employee or his representative is compensated.
Canals-Staff and Repairs and Statistical Officers, $1,842,500.


John Dowsley Reid: That is the same
amount as last year, with the exception of the increase for the permanent staff.


Charles Eusèbe Casgrain: What are the increases covered by the $200,000?


John Dowsley Reid: It is the increases to the lock men and the repair men on the canals.
[DOT]3176


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Does the minister find that he has any applications from returned soldiers for the positions of lock men?
Mr. J. D. ElBID: All appointments of employees on these canals are made by the Civil Service Commission, and so far as I know only returned soldiers are appointed. I have insisted that in every case where returned soldiers are available, and can fill the positions, they are to be appointed. Up to the present time there has been no trouble in filling these positions with returned soldiers. The positions are suitable for returned men who have been wounded and are only capable of light outside work. It is only when a vessel locks through the canals that the men really are employed, and it is not hard work. So far the men have appreciated it.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: In the case of three or four applicants for one vacancy, is there any system by which the department makes its selections from returned men?


John Dowsley Reid: The chief engineer
makes application and the appointments are made by the Civil (Service Commission.
I have never interfered. But I did suggest to the engineer-at least, I have asked for it in my own constituency, and I think it is a good policy to follow-that he select men in this way:	The man that should
have the first opportunity of taking the position should be a wounded man who is married and has a family; the (Second choice should be a married man who has served overseas for a certain length of time and has not been wounded; the next a single man who has been wounded at the front; the fourth a single man who has fought tat the front and has not been wounded. The Commission have been able to find men who have families, and I think a man who left his family of small children and went overseas and then returns wounded should have the first choice of any position we can give him.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I think the system oi selection set forth by the minister is fair.
If there is no other way of selection, I would even suggest that the length of service should count. In the case of two men one with three years' service at the front in the trenches and another with only a year's service, all other things being equal,
I would give the preference to the man with the longer service. In this 9 p.m. part of the country where the canals are close to the depart-

ment I suppose there is closer supervision than is possible in remote districts. In the case of the St. Peter's canal-the only canal we have, as far as I remember, in the Maritime Provinces-I have heard complaints that the selection of men to fill vacancies was made by the lockmaster rather in a partisan way, and of course that is not the intention of the minister-


John Dowsley Reid: Oh, no.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: -nor of the department. I have received letters from that part of the country saying that the lockmaster was prevailed upon to make appointments which were not consistent with the merits of the applicants.


John Dowsley Reid: I understand that the Civil Service Commission advertise in almost every case. Possibly they may have asked the lockmaster for information as to the qualifications of applicants. I do not know what means they take for obtaining such information. The main point I wish to emphasize is that I asked the chief engineer when he is making the applications, *that if there are men in that particular locality who have been at the front and have been wounded and probably are not able to do any hard work, such men should get the preference. It is not a question of politics; I would not stand for that for one minute. A man might be overseas for four years and not get wounded, while another man might be over for only two years and come back wounded and incapable of doing other work. In that case I would feel that the man who is really unable to perform other work, but would be able to till one of these positions, should be appointed. I have had them hold positions open in my own constituency until the men came back. I remember a case of a returned man with a wife and three children who was shot through the arm, rendering the limb stiff so that he could not do any hard work, but he was quite qualified for one of these canal positions. Of course, in a case like that he would get the preference over returned men who were not wounded, and were capable of undertaking any kind of work.
At all events, we are employing only returned soldiers. If others have slipped in, it is without my knowledge. Further, we have been making places for returned' soldiers by letting out men who have other means and are able to get along without doing this work.


Mr. McKENZJE:: What I meant was
that, other things being equal, there being no other means of differentiating between two men who were applying, I suppose the question of military service would come in.


John Dowsley Reid: The hon. member will understand that we do not know anything about the man who has the position until he comes with his certificate from the Civil Service Commission. There was a case in my own county where a married man with a family and a single man were applicants for a position, and the single man got the certificate. All we can do in a case of that kind is to bring the matter to the attention of the Civil Service Commission, in which case the commission might reconsider it.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I must say that I
have heard no complaint in this regard except the one I have mentioned. I suggest that the minister cause an inquiry to be made as to how many men were put on the St. Peter's canal, and how they were selected, or by whom they were recomended.


John Dowsley Reid: I shall be glad to do
that.


John Howard Sinclair: How is a returned soldier to apply for a position, say, on the Intercolonial railway? Suppose he wants to be a cleaner in a roundhouse, or a brakeman, to whom is he to make application?


John Dowsley Reid: To the superintendent
of the division. As my hon. friend knows, the Government railways do not come under the Civil Service Commission. The President, Mr. Hanna, thoroughly understands the policy to be followed in that regard; returned soldiers must have the preference in all cases where they can be obtained. Of course, the selections must be made a little more carefully for a railway than, perhaps, for other branches of the public service. The position to be filled might be one of responsibility, where life was at stake. But now that the soldiers are practically all home you can get a returned man for almost any position. So far, I have been able to do so.


John Howard Sinclair: I understood that there was a mechanical officer at Moncton who looked after all applications for positions in the mechanical department in the whole of the eastern division.


John Dowsley Reid: Of course, the superintendent may hand the application over to the head of the particular department in which the man wishes to be employed, and there his application would be considered. Many applications come to me from persons who do not understand that the department has nothing to do with these appointments. These applications are forwarded to Mr. Hanna, who has them sent to the proper officials.


John Howard Sinclair: I have been asked whether returned soldiers take precedence in the matter of appointments to others holding temporary positions on the railway, and I could not give a definite answer. Let us assume that in one of the roundhouses, or on a particular section of the road, a number of men are temporarily employed and. a returned soldier is anxious to get one of these positions; is it the policy of the Government to make room for the returned soldier by letting one of those men off?


John Dowsley Reid: The policy is this: Wherever a new .man is taken on a returned soldier must have the preference. But the brotherhoods insist upon their men being promoted; they will not allow a man to be dismissed to make room for some one else.


John Howard Sinclair: Then you make a distinction between permanent employees and temporary employees in that matter?


John Dowsley Reid: Well, I could not say as to that; I would have to take that up with the officials. But all men must be employed temporarily at first, no matter what the positions are. The hon. member probably refers to men who are taken on for a month or two months. In all cases, whether the position is one to be filled for a day, a week, or two or three weeks, the returned soldier has the preference. But if there is a vacancy in a roundhouse, and if there is a man below who belongs to the union, he would be promoted to the position vacateu, and his position would, in turn, be filled by a returned soldier. But you have to follow out the rules of the union; you cannot deprive a man of his promotion.


John Howard Sinclair: Then I understand that if there are some temporary employees in a roundhouse and a returned soldier asks for one of the positions, if those men desire to stay there the minister will not interfere with them, but when there is a vacancy a position may be given to the returned sol dier? That is not doing very much for the soldier.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Pa. I of this item is $42,500 for statistical officers. 1 understood that when the Dominion Bureau of .Statistics was organized the collection of statistics by the different departments was to be abandoned. If I am correct in that, why the provision for these statistical officers?


John Dowsley Reid: That item has been there for a good many years. The statistics are forwarded to the Board of Railway Commissioners and to the Bureau of Statistics, which is under the Department ol Trade and Commerce.
Some years ago these men.used to be called collectors of canal tolls, and now that canal tolls are abolished, the men are called statistical officers. On the Rideau canal, for instance, we have a man here who issues passes for vessels going from Ottawa to Kingston, and there is another man at Kingston. Vessels have to have passes to go through the canals. In getting a pass the captain of a vessel has to give these men a report as to the cargo, whether it is light or heavy, the name of the vessel, and other information. This appropriation is to pay these men and others. Our statistics branch has practically disappeared, there remaining only four or five of the officials, and no more statistics will be printed and circulated by the Department of Railways and Canals.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: The same amount oi money was appropriated last year for the same purpose, and I understood then that, if not all, at least a major portion of the work would be done by this new Bureau of Statistics. Such work as the minister has referred to should be done by the local men at the port of entry. These men should be capable of doing the work as well as the collecting, thus dispensing with the appointment of statistical officers for that particular work. The work cannot be very exacting, and any man of ordinary business capacity should be able to keep a record of vessels going through the canals, the tonnage and so forth, and forward it to the Bureau of Statistics,


John Dowsley Reid: The hon. member is hardly right. In some cases the lock-master does that work. For instance, at Kingston, St.' Peters, and on the Trent canal, the lockmaster does that work; but in Montreal, where vessels are passing all the time, the lockmaster has to be on hand to watch the lock gates, to see that the lock work is carried on properly, because vessels entering the locks on the Lachine

canal in many instances require almost the full capacity of the lock, there being scarcely six inches to spare. While a vessel like that is being locked through, the lock-master watches the whole performance, and the	purser	or clerk of the
vessel goes into the canal office where the statistical officer is, and it generally takes the whole time the vessel is going through to get the pass made out and the statistics recorded in detail. Then the hydraulic rents have to be collected and so on. The'only place where anything will be saved as regards statistics is in Ottawa, where formerly every department had a statistical branch, whereas now they are all organized under the Bureau of Statistics.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: How many officers are
employed in this service; what salary is paid each man and at what points are they employed?


John Dowsley Reid: There are four on the St. Lawrence canal, four on the Rideau canal, seven on the Trent canal, eight on the Welland canal, eleven on the Lachine canal, eight of them being at Montreal and two at Lachine; four on the Chambly canal, two at Chambly and two at St. John. The salaries range as follows: At St. Peters, the salary is $200 a year. At Cornwall, one man has $1,200 a year with a bonus of $100. Another man has $840, and another one $100. At Ottawa the officer has a salary of $1,500, with $100 of a bonus. Then we have an officer at $360 on the Rideau.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: There are two men at
Smiths Falls.


John Dowsley Reid: At Smiths Falls there is only one, Mr. J. H. Foster, at $400 a year. At Kingston the lockmaster has a salary of $400 a year. On the Trent canal one man has a salary of $200 and one has $120. The highest salaries seem to -be paid on the Lachine canal. One man has $2,100, another $1,200, another $1 200, and another $1,100.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: One man on the Lachine canal gets $2,100?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: 
John Dowsley Reid: 
Mr. GAUVREAU:: It is not enough.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: 
John Dowsley Reid: I do not know anything about Halifax. It strikes me that the salaries at Montreal are not unreasonable, considering the high cost of living.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: 
John Dowsley Reid: He is a lock master and gets that in addition to his salary.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: What is his fixed salary?


John Dowsley Reid: 
Daniel Duncan McKenzie: And how are the men paid who work under him?


John Dowsley Reid: They get about the same. Of course, they get the bonus as well. The lock master works the year round and the others only in the season.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: 
John Dowsley Reid: He has quite a staff, for the reason that there must be a day staff and a night staff, just as there are lock masters and lock labourers on the Lachine canal where vessels pass night and day. On the Rideau canal they have only a day staff.


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: The cost of collection is about 5 per cent.
Wetland Ship Canal, construction, $3,500,000.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: There were some serious requests for information in regard to the new colony which has been established on the canal.


John Dowsley Reid: Where?


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: On the Welland canal. It is said that the work was started for the purpose of giving employment to men oni the peninsula, and it was contended that they were mostly foreigners. I think the minister was supposed to give us some idea as to who really are the people employed there and where they come from.


John Dowsley Reid: I was asked about returned soldiers employed there. Take the four sections on which contracts were started in order to give employment to. returned men. First, the engineering staff. Of 63 appointed the total number of returned soldiers was 57, or 90 per cent. The staff has .since been increased toy a large addition of returned soldiers. Contractors' employees of all classes of labour total 1,109. The number of returned soldiers was 228 or 19 per cent. There is a lot of this labour which returned soldiers would not undertake. In regard to skilled labour, contractors' employees number 681, of whom 219 are returned soldiers, or 32 per cent. All the contractors report that it is impossible to. obtain returned soldiers to work as labourers although every effort was made to that end.	[DOT]


Isaac Ellis Pedlow: Has the minister the particulars as to the nationalities of these labourers employed on the canal?


John Dowsley Reid: I have not that information.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: There are only about
67 technical officers engaged?


John Dowsley Reid: This statement was prepared up to 2nd May, early in the work. Since then the number of employees has been increased, practically all toeing returned soldiers.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I quite understand
what the minister means. He gives us the percentage of departmental officials in this work, but I am not quite clear as to the number of returned soldiers employed altogether.


John Dowsley Reid: Perhaps I have not
made myself quite clear. The 'Government has a certain staff of office men and engineers numbering 63 to see that the work is carried out. Of this number 57 are returned soldiers. On May 2 there were employed-a great many more having been engaged since-1,109 men of all classes of labour. Of this number, 228 were returned soldiers. Of the 1,109, 681 were skilled labourers, and of that 681, 219 were returned soldiers. It will be seen therefore that only nine returned soldiers are doing the work of labourers.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I was reading somewhere the other day of an inquiry in which a former member of this House, Mr. German, I think, gave his opinion as tO' the enlargement of this canal.
I do not know whether the minister saw the interview or statement it was to the effect that the money expended upon the enlargement of this canal to a capacity much greater than the navigable capacity at each end of the canal was really money expended to no purpose, that the department is now deepening the canal to 22 feet on the sills, that for miles and miles at either end there is only sufficient depth of water to accommodate a vessel with a draught of 8 or 9 feet at the outside, and that it may be many years before there can be any return to the country for this large expenditure upon a certain section in the middle of the system. This is like a man who forges a chain 100 feet in length; he makes a certain section of the links very strong and' stout and the rest of the links very weak. The old saying is that the strength of the chain is the strength of the weakest link. Will the minister explain what good purpose that enlarged section serves when the rest of the waterway from Montreal to Kingston is not sufficiently deep to carry a vessel of the size for which he is providing in the enlargement of the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: I did not see the interview with Mr. German but perhaps I might explain what I think he refers to. In the first place, in order to construct this canal from lake Ontario to lake Erie, it was divided into eight sections. For four of them the contract was given out some years ago. These are right in the middle of the canal. They are lock work. The building of the locks will take twice as long as the other work. The intention was to commence the other sections when this work was about half through so that all would

be completed at the same time. Probably Mr. German was expressing the view that when this work in the middle of the canal was completed it would be no use because the ends had not been completed. I;f the work at the ends were going on now all the work would be completed at the same time, so that a vessel could go right through to Montreal. The other work to be done is more like dredging, and it will have to be completed when times get normal and when we get down to prices which are fairly reasonable. The prices of material and labour are so high that I think we should go as slowly as possible. It is only to give employment to people who are out of work that we are proceeding with this work at the present time. There is another point that the hon. member may have-referred to. Perhaps Mr. German said that we were making this 30 feet in depth when probably the waterway above has a less depth of water. I do not know whether that is the fact or not but I want to point ou't that in constructing this canal we are making the depth greater than that of the St. Lawrence canals at the present time. We are making it 25 or 30 feet .so that a vessel can go to Kingston or Prescott. She could not go on to Montreal because there is only a depth of 14 feet on the sills in 'the St. Lawrence canals. Still people may say that you would not want a greater depth for many years. When the Welland canal was built first it was a 9-foot canal and the reports of the department said that they expected it would last for thirty years. Just about the time the work was completed they were in the same position as when they started out, for larger vessels had been constructed. They then deepened the canal to 12 'feet. The records of the department will show that Mr. Page, who was then the chief engineer of the department, stated that a 12-foot canal was good for thirty years. Before they got through with that 12-foot canal they found they were in about the same position as before,-ten-thousand-ton vessels are operating on these western lakes. In the early days the vessels that ran between Chicago, Kingston and Montreal were vessels of 1,000 or 1,500 tons. Then they got up to 2,500 or 3,000 tons, and they have been increasing until now the vessels that operate from Lake Superior down to Buffalo are 10,000 or 12,000-ton vessels, capable of carrying 400,000 bushels of wheat. The intention is that these same vessels shall go through the canal and on to Kingston at least. Port Colborne, which is at the head of the AVellatod canal, is only

a few miles from Buffalo. These vessels operate from Lake Superior to Buffalo. There is no reason why they should not go through this canal and on to Kingston. If the canalizing of the St. Lawrence river to Montreal should be proceeded with, and completed, 10,000 or 12,000-ton vessels can go from Port Arthur to Montreal and-yes, - right across the ocean.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Will the minister explain what depth of water we have now from Montreal to the eastern end of the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: We have 14 feet ol water in the canal and, of course, that is what we must go by. A vessel plying between the Welland canal and Montreal can load from the Welland canal to Kingston or to Prescott -to a 30-foot draught, but it can only have a 14-foot draught from Prescott on. With the damming of the St. Lawrence, which will really be the canalizing of it, a vessel can load to any draught. A 10,000-ton vessel could go right down to Montreal without any trouble whatever, and it would only have to pass through five or six locks instead of 28 or 30.


John Howard Sinclair: The ground is taken by a number of people who are well posted on this matter that the Welland canal should not be proceeded with. The minister has not dealt with that question. I do not know what amount of money has been spent up to date, But by the time the work is completed it will have cost at least $50,000,000. If that is an improvident expenditure it should be decided at once whether we will go on with the work or not. I was very much impressed with the speech of the Finance Minister this afternoon regarding the financial condition of the country, which everybody admits is very serious. We are now proposing to undertake a new work, which is estimated to cost $50,000,000, and prominent men in the vicinity who have studied the question are of the opinion that it should not be proceeded with at all, but that the present equipment will sufficiently satisfy present needs. But the minister has not dealt with that phase of it, at all. I suppose the leader of the Opposition (Mr. McKenzie) in his remarks was referring to a circular letter a copy of which I have received, and which left a great impression on my mind. This letter is from a gentleman named Charles B. Watts. I do not know him, but having
made inquiry I find he is the secretary of the Dominion Millers' Association, that he is a very substantial man, that he is interested in transportation on the Great Lakes, and that he should know as much about this subject as any man in that vicinity. I will read an extract from Mr. Watts' letter, so as to put the minister in possession of the facts as they appear to that gentleman. The letter is addressed from the Royal Bank building, Toronto, is dated May 28, 1919, and in it Mr. Watts says:
Mr. German Says "Spending $50,000,000 on
Welland Canal Wasteful." Th<* interest
Alone Would Carry Grain Free, Fort William
To Montreal.
Dear *Sir:
The postponing of the completion of the Welland Canal, under present conditions, should not be treated as a party question, involving as it does, an expenditure of over $50,000,000, and with the labourers striking for higher pay, probably over $60,000,000, from which no revenue will be derived but the yearly cost of operation and maintenance will have to be provided by Canadla.
Ail parties should combine to conserve Canada's resources.
Wasteful Expenditure:	Mr. German, ex-M.P.
for Welland, stated before the Associated Boards of Trade, in Toronto, a few weeks ago, " that vessel men themselves, would consider the spending of $6*0,000,0*00 on the Welland Canal, a wasteful expenditure, unless Canada's system was carried through to tidewater."
This, he estimated, would cost yver $300,0*00,-000 additional.	.
Mr. German said " that he had been told that big freighters would prefer to discharge cargoes at Port Colborne (as now) than to discharge at Prescott or Brockville " as they could get return oargoes Just across the lake.
This means only the smaller boats would run through -the enlarged canal till the St. Lawrence Canals were also deepened as above.
Joint Development: The Greater Waterways Deputation to Washington, a short time ago, advocated the U,S. paying half the cost of opening a deep water channel from the Great Lakes to the ocean.
The Minister of Railways Is negotiating with the U.*S. for international development of water power on the St. Lawrence for electrical purposes.
The deepening of the waterways should also be done jointly.
Canada cannot And capital under present conditions to provide waterways free for XJ.S. traffic and maintain and operate the same. Over half the traffic through the present canal is U.S. tonnage and no tolls are charged.
Carry Grain Fiee:	The interest on less than
$50,000,00*0 would pay more than the whole freight from Fort William to Montreal at rates prevailing in 1014 and 1915, on all the Canadian grain which passed through the Welland* Canal to Montreal in 1914, which was the largest quantity ever shipped through the Welland Canal to Montreal.

See Canal Statistics for 1916, pages 19, 20 and 48.
By ceasing expenditure, as it will no doubt take over	0,0 00,000 to complete the canal
under present conditions, Canada would save the whole capital expenditure and if desirable to use the interest, could pay the whole of the freight as above and thus have the grain carried for nothing from Fort Wil iam to Montreal.
If this, statement is true it is extraordinary that we should go headlong into an expenditure of $50,000,000, with the prospect of spending $300,000,000 more before we can reach tide-water at Montreal; and it looks to me as if the minister would have to make out a stronger case than he has yet shown for this very large expenditure. If I understand the statement made by this gentleman, the canal is not absolutely required at the present time; and he says that if it were discontinued the interest will pay the whole charges on the grain to be shipped through the canal in any one year. We should have our $50,000,000 in the treasury, and the interest that would accrue from that amount let out at interest would give the grain men of the West free transportation for their products from Fort William to Montreal. It would be a fine thing to have free grain from Fort William to Montreal; and I would ask the minister to answer this gentleman's statement and tell the committee, if he can, how he justifies this enormous expenditure.


John Dowsley Reid: I would be surprised to learn that Mr. German ever made any such statement as that which is attributed to him in the circular which has been, just read. Let me say that we are not starting a new work; the sum of $16,000,000 has already been expended on the project. It was commenced several years ago, but operations were suspended owing to the war. The enlargement of the Welland canal is not a new undertaking; the commencement of the canal dates back to fifty or sixty years ago, beginning first with a depth of nine feet, then twelve feet, and now an even deeper waterway is proposed. Reference has been made to the amount of grain that passed through the canal in the course of a year. We are not dealing with a canal capable merely of carrying the quantity of grain that passes through it in one year; this canal is being constructed to take care of the grain and the products originating in the West for many years to come. The grain from Western Canada that is transported to Liverpool to-day goes in large 10,000-ton vessels, 'by the American route to

Buffalo, then through the Erie canal to New York. That is the route our grain is taking instead of through Canadian channels to Canadian ports. Even toy the United States routes the cost per bushel is more than it would be if the canals now under way were constructed through to Montreal. I venture to say that when that is done the cost of the grain carried to Montreal will be so much less that the farmers and grain growers of the Western Provinces will receive more for their products; in fact, the saving in a few years would probably pay for the cost of the Welland canal. There is no question about it, a very large saving in transportation charges will be effected by the improvement of our system of canals. When the Welland canal is enlarged it will be possible for the large 10,000-ton steamers to go to Kingston and discharge grain there.


John Howard Sinclair: In place of Port Colborne?


John Dowsley Reid: In place of Port Col-borne.


John Howard Sinclair: What is the advantage of that?


John Dowsley Reid: The 10,000-ton vessel will carry grain from Port Arthur or Fort William to Kingston, for practically the same amount as to Buffalo; there will be a very small margin of difference. The trip is probably twenty-four hours longer from Port Colborne to Kingston, and they may charge a small amount for that extra day's operation of the steamer. At Kingston they are within about fifteen or eighteen hours of Montreal, and they carry large cargoes to Montreal. The 10,000-toni vessels will come to Kingston, but if they can go no further than to Port Colborne, as at the present, then vessels carrying only about
60,000	or 65,000 bushels would continue to operate between Port Colborne and Montreal, a distance of probably four hundred miles.


John Howard Sinclair: How far is it from Port Colborne to Kingston?


John Dowsley Reid: Probably 300 miles. The traffic for that 300 miles would be carried in 10,000-ton vessels; that is the difference. As to the canalizing of the St. Lawrence river, that is a big question and has not yet been brought before this House. But the American Government are deeply in-

terested in it and are taking it up with great energy with a view of routing their traffic to Montreal or to the Atlantic instead of having to tranship it at Buffalo for conveyance to New York. The advantage to the American side of the river, if they canalize the St. Lawrence, would he that these 10,000-ton or 8,000-ton vessels- and the latter is quite a large tonnage now-crossing the Atlantic will load at Liverpool or at any other port and return straight to Chicago, Duluth or Buffalo. That is why the Western States are urging that this work be undertaken-, and, of course, the American Government recognize the great advantages that would accrue, no matter what the co^t might be. The hon. member's figures are very much higher in every way than those of our own engineers. But the American Government realize that if they do take part in this work they will have an interest in the power on account of its being international water, and if
300,000	to 600,000 horsepower were generated they would be entitled to their share-quite an asset.


John Howard Sinclair: They are not getting that?


John Dowsley Reid: No; it is only on the canalizing of the St. Lawrence that this water-power would be developed. At present the St. Lawrence river canals are built along the shore just where the rapids are. This proposal would mean that at the particular rapids a dam would be thrown across the whole river-I think there are some five rapids between Prescott and Montreal-and there would be a tremendous water-power at each one of those dams.


John Howard Sinclair: The benefit would accrue to the big freighters; there would be no benefit to the small freighters, because the present accommodation is sufficient for them. The statement is made by this gentleman, who knows the grain trade intimately, that the big freighters prefer to discharge their cargo at Port Col-
10 p.m. borne because they can get a return cargo. How is the minister going to get over that? If he cannot get the big freighters to come down to Kingston, then his big canal will be no good to any body.


John Dowsley Reid: Here is another advantage of boats coming to Kingston instead of Port Colborne. When the Soo canal was constructed on the same lines as the Welland and other canals-as it originally was -a vessel carrying about 65,000 bushels was the largest that could proceed from Port Arthur or Fort William to Buffalo, and the rate was about five cents a bushel. Immediately the Soo canal became available for boats of 10,000 tons, the rates were cut down to one and-a-half to two cents a bushel. That was a great advantage to those who were selling their grain in the West. The same thing applies on a vessel now from Port Colborne to Montreal. A vessel would probably get two or three cents a bushel between those points, whereas the rate from Kingston to Montreal is one and-a-half cents-they would probably charge three and-a-half cents a bushel; whereas the large freighter of 10,000 tons would probably bring that cargo from Port Colborne to Kingston at half a cent a bushel on account of the large quantity and the time taken-only one day. The hon. member has stated that the advantage to the large freighters at Port Colborne is that they get a return cargo. But when the vessels come to Kingston -the return cargo they get ninety-nine times out of a hundred is a cargo of -coal. They do not get it at Port Colborne; they have to run over to Ashtabula for the coal, and then they take it up to Fort William. The only difference in the case of Kingston is that they get the. cargo exactly the same, but they run from Kingston up to Ashtabula likewise, and they can afford to do that having received freight down 'to Kingston. I think there is no doubt that if we want to hold our traffic for our own ports through our own country, the only possible water route is through the Welland canal and the St. Lawrence river. Then again, if we want to give to the people of the West the advantages of getting cheap transportation between- Port Arthur or Fort William and Montreal so that they will get that much more for their grain, the only way is through t'he Welland canal and the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. I have always lived on the St. Lawrence and know everything in connection with the water route between Port Arthur and Montreal, and I understand thoroughly what I am talking about when I discuss this matter.


John Howard Sinclair: I have no doubt of that. But at the same time I make a proposition to the minister by which the Western grain men would get their grain to Montreal absolutely free. If he would save this $50,000,000 and put it out at 5 per

cent he would have two and a half million dollars a year, and that would pay all the freight on grain from Fort William to Montreal, and we would keep our $50,000,000 for future investment. That is the proposition made to the minister, and I do not think he has met it.


John Dowsley Reid: Does my hon. friend
mean that the grain would be shipped by rail from Port Arthur to Montreal?


John Howard Sinclair: No, by water. I understand this gentleman to mean that the freight on the grain shipped by water from Fort William to Montreal could be paid with the interest on this money that we are spending on the building of canals.


John Dowsley Reid: That may be all right if the hon. member argues the point on the basis of the same amount of grain being carried after this canal is constructed as was carried two or three years ago. But we would not have proceeded with this work if that was all the grain we expected over that route. I hope, and I think every member of the Committee believes, that our great Northwest will be filled up in the years to come, and we want facilities to carry the grain between these points at the cheapest possible rates. The hon. member knows the quantity of Canadian grain that goes through via Buffalo and New York, because he put a question in the House with regard to that matter. That grain went via Buffalo and New York because the waterway between those points hfjs been enlarged, and the rate is so much cheaper than it is between Port Colburne and Montreal. As soon as we get the water route between Port Colborne and Montreal in the same condition as the route between Buffalo and New York so that larger quantities of grain may be carried, then even the American grain will go to Montreal, because we can carry it cheaper from Port Colborne to Montreal than it can be carried from Buffalo to Neu York, and in a shorter time. If we had the new Welland canal constructed and the St. Lawrence route improved you could go from Port Colborne to Montreal in twenty-four hours, whereas you could not go from Buffalo to New York in less than three days. That is an advantage that I think is worthy of consideration.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I am not, in principle, opposed to the deepening of the Welland canal, although this vast expenditure was

entered upon at a time when it was said to be good policy to forego the construction of a real, national waterway, the Georgian Bay canal. All the western legislatures and all the western interests favoured the Georgian Bay canal, but for a reason which I shall not disclose it was thought better to enter upon the expenditure which is now confronting us. This Dominion has launched into many important ventures during the last twenty-five or thirty years. We sunk millions in the Trent Valley canal, and g<jt very little return. However, the Trent Valley canal is completed. And now we are undertaking this vast expenditure on the Welland canal, without any ppldcy, so to speak. The explanations given by the minister are very vague and not to the point of the able memorandum that has been distributed broadcast by the secretary of the Dominion Millers' Association. But whether the deepening of the Welland canal is good policy or not does not matter at the present moment. Having regard to the revelations made this afternoon by the Minister of Finance, the Government ought to be very chary about involving the Dominion in this expenditure of $3,500,000 and perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars in the future. Sensible as the project may be, good as it may be, does my hon. friend believe that it should foe entered upon now? In view of our enormous commitments-the interest charges on our war debt, the pension charges, and so on-does not he consider that it would be wise to drop even very valuable and very sensible projects? The Minister of Finance this afternoon advised Parliament to practise very strict economy. Well, is this practising economy? In view of our financial situation; in view of the fact that we shall have to make new borrowings during the present fiscal year in order to make both ends meet, is it sound and wise policy to go on with an expenditure which might well wait for a few years? When normal conditions come in a few years, Canada, being a progressive country,, will not begrudge the expenditure of such amounts as are being asked this evening. But under present circumstances, with the unrest that prevails, with the fear that financial authorities have as to the future, and with the appalling debt that is staring us in the face surely my hon. friend should postpone this work. The section of Ontario that is most interested in this work is too patriotic, too intelligent, not to realize that sacrifices

have to be made. The West has made the sacrifice as regards the Georgian Bay canal.
I remember some years ago reading in the House resolutions adopted unanimously by the Grain Growers' Associations of the West urging upon the Government the necessity of commencing work on the Georgian Bay canal. The West has made that sacrifice. We have made it in our own province, although for many years the construction of that work has been promised. This enormous expenditure will affect seriously the credit of our country. As was stated this afternoon by the Minister of Finance 'the credit of Canada must be maintained unimpaired for the commitments of the future. The mimster does not treat this matter with his usual sagacity. Parliament is already committed to very large expenditure in connection with our railway problem. By the way, the Government is expressing itself strongly in favour of Government ownership.
The other day in the other branch of this Parliament the Government, represented there by my good friend Sir James Lougheed, was not going as far as his colleagues are in this Chamber. But that is not'the que'stion and this is only an aside. What I am aiming at is this: The Government will have to spend millions and millions, not much less than $50,000,000 on the National railways for equipment to provide for deficit. Are we not experimenting enough for such a financial year as the one we are entering upon? Why should we enter upon this enormous expenditure when we can well afford to pause and wait? This is not a normal year.


John Dowsley Reid: As regards the Welland canal, the hon. member practically states that we are just commencing this work. This work was originated by the Government of which he was a member, and that policy was the right one to adopt.


Rodolphe Lemieux: W'hat was the national debt of Canada then?
Mr. J. D. REID; I am coming to that. There was no objection to that policy, and we proceeded with the work in normal times. The work was closed down when the war commenced. As I stated the other evening, we did not want to commence this work at present. Immediately the armistice was signed thousands of men in the Welland canal district were thrown out of employment, and there were returning from overseas thousands of men who wanted employment. What the hon. member is finding fault with now is that when the works were closed down, the Government, in order to provide work for men thrown out of employment and for soldiers returning from overseas, decided to proceed with the work. The hon. gentleman to-night objects to the Government having arranged to find work for those men whose families require food to keep them alive. The hon. member might also censure the Government for proceeding with other works. Why should we have proceeded with certain works in Montreal ? In that city the locomotive works and the car works wanted employment for their men. Those industries were manufacturing munitions, and when the armistice was signed, locomotive and car work had to be proceeded with in order to give employment to those thrown out of employment so as to prevent unrest. The hon: member states that in the West they were willing to forego the construction of the Georgian Bay canal. I do not think any member in this House and especially any member from the West expected that we would proceed with work on the Georgian Bay canal for years to come. But what have we done in the West in order to provide employment? The Government is proceeding with the construction of railways in the West, constructing branch lines, paying large prices for rails and ties, and doing everything possible to find employment for returned soldiers and others. The Canadian Pacific railway are not proceeding with construction in the West as the Government are, and president Beattie will say that the reason is that they do not want to pay the price that must be paid at present for rails and other material. We are also proceed-in with the construction of railways in order to keep the rail plant going at Sault Ste. Marie. The Government gave contracts there for 100,0G) tons, and only yesterday we gave another small contract to keep the plant going. A deputation of employees from Sault Ste. Marie came to Ottawa and told me the condition they would be in if that plant was closed down. We gave the plant an order for rails for the purpose of providing employment and not because we really wanted the rails. We could have done without them at that time, as we need not have proceeded with the work. Yet the hon. member to-night would censure this Government for trying to keep the Sault Ste. Marie plant going in order to keep these men and their families in food until orders which were expected very



shortly were received from overseas. The same is true at Sydney where we gave the Dominion Iron and Steel Company work in manufacturing steel rails until somewhere around the first of July in order to keep their employees going. That is the reason why we have heen giving these orders and why the Welland canal is being proceeded with at present. If the men who are employed on this Welland ship canal can get employment in any other way in that district, which has always been their home, from which they left to go overseas and fight for this country and to which they have returned, I am willing to close down the. work at any time, but just as long as returned soldiers are walking the streets and wanting employment and have families to provide for, I am willing to put an amount in the Estimates for this work, and I believe the people of Canada will stand by me in my endeavour to provide work for them.


Mr. McCREA:: I doubt very much if the minister has any returned soldiers on this work. How many returned soldiers are there on it?	j . I i ,


John Dowsley Reid: The hon. member was not in when I gave the figures which are those of May 2, As I stated, the work was commenced particularly for returned soldiers, but of course there are certain kinds of this work that you cannot get and I would not ask returned soldiers to do. For that reason, returned soldiers cannot be altogether employed. We are not trying to rush the work; we are trying simply to keep the men, who are really in need of work, and who have families to provide for, going until times have become normal again. The intention is to close that work down just as soon as possible provided that these men can get work elsewhere.


Rodolphe Lemieux: What is the rate of wages per diem paid to returned soldiers? 1 am not speaking of engineers.


John Dowsley Reid: Common labour, 40
cents an hour. When we started this work the Minister of Labour sent one of his best men up thpre to ascertain what the prevailing rates were and we paid those rates.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The minister says this v. ork is to he stopped as soon as there is a return of normal conditions.


John Dowsley Reid: We gave it on a percentage basis not to extend longer than 31st
fMr. J. D. Reid.]
December next. I thought that by that time conditions would be normal again and we would decide on what was to be done in the future. But we can close the work down at any time.


Rodolphe Lemieux: It is not continuous
work then? The minister does not intend to complete that work?


John Dowsley Reid: If things become normal and the financial situation is such that it would be advisable to go on with the work, we intend calling for tenders. But that is a matter for future decision.


John Howard Sinclair: - Is there not some productive work on which these men could be put that would be better than what they are doing? What percentage are the contractors paid on labour?


John Dowsley Reid: Eight per cent, out of which overhead charges have to be taken.
Mr. J. H. SINCLAIR, Is that the total
percentage?


John Dowsley Reid: That is the total, but they do not get it on material we supply ourselves.


John Howard Sinclair: 
John Dowsley Reid: That may be for some large plant or machinery or something of that nature. We pay 8 per cent and have our own plant and the contractor has his own overhead charges.


Rodolphe Lemieux: What is the extent of
the work-how many miles?


John Dowsley Reid: About seven miles altogether is under contract.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Between what points?


John Dowsley Reid: Port Weller and Thorold, and also at Allamburg.
Mr. iMcKENZIE: A matter of great national importance occurs to me in Connection with this work. My conception of

ideal transportation has always been that our grain should be carried direct by rail from the point of shipment to tide water.
I suppose it can be done cheaper the other way, but it seems to me that there is considerable difficulty in handling grain when it is shifted from one kind of conveyance to another. The Minister of Railways is also the Minister of Canals and he is competing with himself. He is working up a system of canals to take traffic from his system of railways. Would it not be well to bring these two departments together and try to strike a middle course and see if the Minister of Canals could not agree with the Minister of Railways on some system by which we might have the magnificent condition in this country that a car of grain loaded at Port Arthur, or Winnipeg, or anywhere in the West could go direct to Montreal, Halifax, or St. John and be dumped straight into the ship? We are willing to spend millions and hundreds of millions of dollars on this new railroad, the Transcontinental railway. We have built a grade of railway hitherto unknown in this country for large trains to carry freight cheaper than before. It is well worth while for the minister and all of us to consider if it is not possible, even at a small loss, when we own the railroads ourselves, to carry freight by rail from point of shipment straight to the city of Montreal, say, at tidewater?


John Dowsley Reid: It has been a recognized fact that the carrying of grain or any freight by water can always be done more cheaply than by rail. The very fact that the Canadian Pacific railway, which is in opposition to the Canadian Government railway, carry their grain from Port Arthur to Midland or Port McNicoll on the Georgian bay and then transfer it to the rail is proof of the economy of water transportation. They take every bushel they can by vessel, and, if I remember rightly, in normal times the very best the Canadian Pacific railway could carry grain from Port Arthur to Montreal for-and they did not claim that they were making money-was 12! cents per bushel. That was at a low rate; in winter it is 22 or 22J cents. By vessel from Port Arthur to Montreal at the same time the rates were 5 or 6 cents a bushel, or at most one-half. During the season of navigation practically no grain leaves Port Arthur or Fort Williiam over rails. The Canadian Pacific railway carry their traffic in a most economical way, and it is quite evident that when they carry freight of all kinds to and from the west by vessel, from Port
Arthur and Fort William to Georgian Bay ports, and then by rail to Montreal, the reason must be that they cannot possibly compete or carry traffic on as economic a basis by rail as by water. If they could, they would not go to the expense of unloading into elevator at Port Arthur and lifting it out of the vessel at Port McNicoll and putting it on cars again. I have taken up this matter with the railway officials, who have no doubt they can prove in a very short time that there could be no successful competition in this direction. When the hon. member for Timiskaming (Mr. Cochrane) was Minister of Railways he gave a rate of 6 cents per bushel from Armstrong, I think, or the station opposite Fort William, through to Quebec. The steamer could take the freight at Port Arthur or Fort William and take it through to Quebec at 6 cents a bushel and make money, while on every bushel of grain we carried from Armstrong to Quebec at the same time by rail we lost money.
We could not possibly compete. That was the experience we had in operating both services. I do not know that I could give any better evidence than that, but there would not be any trouble in convincing the leader of the Opposition from evidence that could be got from the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Railway Companies, which have had actual experience both by water and rail. All of these companies have their own traffic steamers.
Canals-Capital-Trent canal-construction and betterments, $1,000,000.
Towards construction of a high level bridge over the Otonabee river at Hunter street, Feter-boro, Ont., $50,0'00.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Is that in connection
with the canal?


John Dowsley Reid: This is for carrying on the work that is in progress there. There are several contracts that are going on.


Rodolphe Lemieux: What were your returns from the Trent canal last year?


John Dowsley Reid: The only items in connection with the contract work are on the Severn division of the Trent canal. The canal has been opened through from Trenton to Orillia. Two hundred thousand dollars is asked for contracts that were started when the war broke out, and we are just starting them again to keep men employed in that district. The rest is for works along the canal, including the Gilmour's siding

bridge, four works on the four divisions to cost $11,000, $7 000, $16,000, $2,000; Grand Trunk high level bridge, $5,278; Rice lake, $14,000, etc.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Will the hon. gentleman give me any idea of the movement of ships through the Trent canal last year, the salaries paid the officials, and the returns?


John Dowsley Reid: The Trent canal is free of tolls. It was only opened about a year ago and it is used by small craft.


Rodolphe Lemieux: How many ships passed through the canal last year?


John Dowsley Reid: I have not the record here. I had been under the impression that the building of the canal was really throwing money away.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Say that a little louder, please.


John Dowsley Reid: I say I was under that impression until I went through it last year. We spent $16,000 000 on the Trent Valley canal.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Sunk it?


John Dowsley Reid: We did not sink it, and I will tell the hon. gentleman why. There is quite a lot of traffic on that canal in which small craft take part, but in addition there is 150,000 horsepower of electrical energy developed and the people of the locality get 'the benefit of it. All the power used between Toronto and Kingston is supplied from the Trent river that never would otherwise have been supplied, and if you can get 150,000 horsepower with a capital investment of $16,000,000 you are getting it cheaply. Then, we have the waterway besides.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Do we sell power?


John Dowsley Reid: We get a rental from the plant of the Seymour Power Company. We get the same rental that the company got, and we have quite a large revenue from that.


John Howard Sinclair: How much do we get?


John Dowsley Reid: Two dollars per horsepower at the dam. There is an electrical plant there that produces 150,000 horsepower, and there will be more produced when the canal is completed to Georgian bay, and for all we will get $2 per horse-

power. We might get more than $2 but the jdea is to give the people power at the cheapest rate.


John Howard Sinclair: How many horsepower did we sell last year?


John Dowsley Reid: We sold 30,000 or 40,000 horsepower. There is a building there ready to put additional machinery in. But on account of the war during the last five years people would not put in plants.


John Howard Sinclair: Are there any expenditures made on account of transmission lines?


John Dowsley Reid: A power house and
transmission line would have to be put in by us. The Seymour Power Company have put in their own power house and we simply rent them the water-power.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: There i:s a vote of $50,000 for a bridge. Would the minister tell us something aboutr that?


John Dowsley Reid: That is a bridge over the canal in the city of Peterborough. The bridge will cost not less than $300,000. If we built our own small bridge it would cost $50,000 or $60,000. The city wanted a high-level bridge, they proposed to spend $300,000 or $350,000 and of that amount we will pay $50,000.


Rodolphe Lemieux: How many lift locks are there on the canal?


John Dowsley Reid: Two; one at Peterborough and the other at Kirkfield.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I would like to understand the policy of the Government in connection with this bridge. Does the department maintain the bridge across the St. Peter's canal?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, but we do not do so in this ease because this is a permanent, high level bridge. There will be no afterexpense. We simply pay $50,000 and we are through. The mayor told me that the contract would be about $350,000, and we agreed to pay $50,000 on a cost of $300,000 or over.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: The minister mentioned that it was only last year that the Trent canal was opened to traffic?


John Dowsley Reid: It has been open for some years, but not right out into lake Ontario; it is from Orillia down through Peterborough, but that is inland. Now the

intention is to open it from lake Ontario to Georgian bay. At present you can go almost through that entire stretch, but there are yet one or two small sections to be completed which when finished will enable a steamer to travel from Montreal to Georgian bay. At the present time the steamer can only go as far as Orillia.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: This $1,000,000 is partly for the extension of the canal ?


John Dowsley Reid: It is for the completion of the canal to the western end.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Who are the contractors?


John Dowsley Reid: Randolph Macdonald, or rather the York Construction Company.


Rodolphe Lemieux: That is an old name.


John Dowsley Reid: The old gentleman is dead; I think very likely the present contractor is his son.
Lachine Oanal, Dredging-$25,0*00.


John Dowsley Reid: This is for the upper end of the Lachine canal.
Soulanges Canal, Improvements-$152,000.


John Dowsley Reid: The sum of $75,000 in this vote is for a road along the canal. We cut off the farmers' thoroughfare by building the canal, and we now have to build this road for them.
Trent Canal, Improvements-$329,000.


John Dowsley Reid: This is for repairs at Bobcaygeon. The sum of $150,000 is for the construction of a new lock there on account of the dilapidated condition of the present structure. On account of the outbreak of the war the work was temporarily abandoned. I was on the spot myself last year, and the lock will really not stand any longer. Something has got to be done right away.


Rodolphe Lemieux: What is the nature of the work?


John Dowsley Reid: The construction of a new lock to replace the present structure which has been in existence for probably sixty years.
Welland Canal, Improvements-$25,000.


John Howard Sinclair: When will the Trent canal be finished ?


John Dowsley Reid: There are just two small
sections on the Severn river. We have not
got through with either of them, but it will only take one season if we go at the work energetically.
Miscellaneous-Arbitration	and	Award-


Rodolphe Lemieux: I want to again bring to the minister's attention the claim of an old gentleman whose name is Paradis, which means in English " Paradise." Let me remind the minister that my old friend and his old friend, Mr. Paradis, is getting on in years. He has a just claim against the Crown, which has been examined and reexamined, investigated and re-investigated, and it seems to me that it is time a decision was arrived at. The property of the dear old gentleman was destroyed by the Intercolonial many years ago, and his claim has been before the Exchequer Court and before the department. I understand there is only a question of a few thousand dollars as between Mr. Paradis and the minister. My hon. friend is convinced, I believe, that Paradis is an honest man. He has already one foot in the grave, and he would not deprive the Government of a red cent to* which he was not legally entitled. Cannot the minister, who is a young man compared with Mr. Paradis, help this old gentleman to close his eyes in peace and allow his family to receive the amount which belongs to him?


John Dowsley Reid: This claim came up before my predecessor and he was prepared to recommend a payment of $7,500. The amount was afterwards increased to $12,000, and the last time I took the matter up, in order to try and effect a settlement, I was prepared to recommend $15,000. Mr. Paradis, however, is asking- for $80,000 or $90,000. He has been to see me very often, and I would like to see his claim settled, although he is not legally entitled to any such amount as he asks. The last I heard of it, Mr. Paradis was asking for $30,000 or $35,000, with interest for a certain period, which would bring the claim up to $40,000. The hon. gentleman will therefore see there is quite a difference of opinion between us. I will have to get the authority of Council before I can settle the matter, but the difference between the amount asked for by the claimant and that deemed proper by the department is a little too much.
I sympathize with the old gentleman, but I am afraid I could hardly settle with him on what he is willing to accept, although he claims that if he did settle for that it

would not be one-third of what he lost. I promised the old gentleman to bring it up before a subcommittee of the Privy Council to see if we can come to terms.


Rodolphe Lemieux: During the present session?


John Dowsley Reid: I have been promising to do it, as a matter of fact, for the last couple of months, but it has been very hard to get members of the Council together. It is really my fault, and I will try to see if I cannot get it attended to before the end of the session.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Will the hon. member appoint me to the committee? As a member of the Privy Council I might be helpful.


John Dowsley Reid: I am afraid the hon. member might be partial.
Railways-Canadian Government Railways

Construction and Betterments, $11,121,681.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I think we had better leave the Canadian Government railways for another time.


John Dowsley Reid: What about the Hudson Bay railway item?


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Then there is item, No. 108, miscellaneous, which I think will require some explanation. It is now eleven o'clock and such an awfully hot night that I think we might better leave them over.


Mr. McISAAC:: I would like to ask the minister regarding a matter which is very dear to the hearts of the people of Prince Edward Island; that is, the progress that the Government hope to make in the near future in broadening the gauge of the Prince Edward Island railway. Could the hon. minister gfve me some information as to the earliest possible date on which the work will be completed, as to the portion of the work he hopes to do this year, and next year, and so on; what sections of the road will be taken up in turn; and, in general, what the ideas and hopes of the Government are regarding the early completion of this work, which is so important to the people of the province from which I come.


John Dowsley Reid: Last year we decided to standardize the line between Port Borden and Summerside, so that cars could be loaded between those points and be brought over the main line. That work was started and proceeded with as rapidly as possible

last year. My information is that if we can get the labour next month we will be operating into .Summerside and Charlottetown with standard cars. We do not intend standardizing the line any further than Charlottetown or Summerside during the present year. After the rails are laid there will be a lot of work to do in putting the road in shape, and we feel that under present financial conditions we would not be justified in proceeding further during the present year.


James McIsaac: It is understood, I suppose, that next year the work will be proceeded with?


John Dowsley Reid: It is the intention, of course, that this road should be standardized all through. I could not say how much will be done next year. But the matter will be taken up and considered with the Estimates of next year with a view of proceeding with the work when financial conditions permit.


Mr. G. B. NICHOLSON:: Are details available as to how this large amount of money is going to be expended on the Canadian National railways, both with regard to construction and betterments and equipment?


John Dowsley Reid: I have the details ot item 3, $11,121,681. This is the summary: Lines east of Quebec, $6,004,140; Transcontinental west of Fort William, $993,208;
Halifax terminals, $1,600,000;
11 p.m. branch lines, New Brunswick, $500,000; mechanical department, $524,333; general appropriations, constructions and betterments, $1,500,000. I have the further details somewhere if the hon. member wishes to hear them.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I think we might as well let this item stand. I know some members of the House would like to say something on the items to which I have referred, and as the minister has made very good progress to-night, perhaps we might defer further consideration of these items.


Mr. MANION:: Before the request of the leader of the Opposition is granted I wish to bring a matter to the minister's attention. I have a communication from the municipality signed by the reeve, Mr. A. A. McGillivray, and sent to me by Mr. J. McK. Hunt, with regard to changing the

name of a small station on the Canadian National railway, and I would like to have an assurance from the minister that he will try once again to get this done, as the directors do not think it convenient to take any action. As a matter of fact, the village of Slate River is some miles from the station of that name, whereas the village of Rosslyn is right there.


John Dowsley Reid: I did take that up with the management, and my recollection is that they claim there is another station of a similar name. However, I will take the matter up with them again.
Progress reported.
Hon. Mr. Reid moved the adjournment of the House, and the House adjourned at 11.09 p.m.
