Mr. WILLIAM DUFF (Lunenburg):: I beg to present the third report of the select standing committee on Marine and Fisheries as follows:
Your committee having considered and adopted the following resolution, herewith present the same for the information of the House:
Whereas a number of urgent requests have been made to the Honourable the Minister of Marine and Fisheries from time to time during the last few years for extensions of the lobster fishing season existing through the Maritime provinces, and as it would appear from representations made to the minister that such changes in the existing regulations are desirable;
And whereas it further appears that much difference of opinion exists among the lobster fishermen, and others engaged in the industry, regarding said regulations ;
And whereas it appears to be the unanimous opinion of this committee than an enquiry should be held which shall also include the principal fisheries of the Atlantic provinces;
Be it therefore resolved,-That in the opinion of this committee an enquiry should be held during the ensuing siunmer into the entire situation with a view if possible of changing the existing general regulations concerning the said principal fisheries to meet present requirements;

PRIVATE BILL-FIRST READING

[Stage Direction]
Bill No. 179 (from the Senate), for the relief of Grace Lees Smiley.-Mr. Boys.


[Stage Direction]
The House resumed from Monday, May 21, the debate on the motion of Hon. W. S. Fielding (Minister of Finance) that Mr. Speaker do now leave the chair for the House to go into Committee of Ways and Means, and the proposed amendment thereto of Mr. Robert Forke.
Arthur Meighen: The Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) has been treated in this debate to general expressions of good will. To these his wealth of years and his long public service undoubtedly entitle him, and in them I am only too happy to join. My comment this afternoon on his course in recent times will, I hope, not lack in courtesy, but I am equally anxious that it do not lack in frankness. I was disappointed in his budget. I say so entirely irrespective of the policies he abandoned and of the policies he adopted. I do not think the budget presentation was a real budget presentation at all. I think the country is entitled to more in a statement on the occasion of a budget speech, than the Finance Minister saw fit to give us as the text of our discussion. What the budget speech contains is a skilful but elusive commentary on the history of tariff discussions, on the unpopularity of taxes, on the undesirability of debt and on various ideas, some accepted and some rejected, which passed through the minister's mind in preparation of his case. A budget presentation should be a great deal more than that, and in the history of this country it usually has contained a great deal more. A budget presentation, I think, should include a close examination of the whole financial position of our country with some retrospection into past years and as well some prospect into the future. By examination I do not merely mean a chronicle of the ascending steps of our debt. I mean an analysis of our financial position. I mean an investigation of the value of our assets, of their 
revenue bearing properties and of the nature and maturity of our liabilities. It should contain as well a synopsis of our trade, of those vital factors of our commercial life that keep us living and moving, an examination into the sources, the basis and the currents of our trade, and into the policies that best can be applied for its pursuit. It should contain as well an analysis of our means of revenue and of the merits of each, and some comparison between our position in all these respects and the position of other countries comparable to our own. These things are given in the budget addresses of the statesmen of other lands. I commend the Finance Minister to read the speech on a similar occasion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer of England presented this year, or, better still, the speech presented last year, and, because a better example cannot be found, I commend all hon. members to read the budget presentation of the present Prime Minister of Australia when as treasurer of the Commonwealth a year ago he gave to its parliament an exhibition and an expose of the whole financial and industrial situation of his country. I venture to make this remark: that after reading both, -the Australian budget and our own-though unacquainted with Australia and its history to any degree and though having followed the finances, the trade, and all the affairs of this Dominion, and having witnessed its development for fifteen years, after reading both, I knew more of the position of Australia than I did of the position of Canada. This is the purpose of a budget address, and a mere homily on various popular subjects is not justice to the occasion and not justice to the House. We owe to our people a thorough examination of all these elements, and we did not get the text for this examination from the budget presentation of the Finance Minister.
He gave us the figures of our ascending debt since 1914, told us how much it had increased year by year, and seemed to take some credit, or at least some comfort in the fact that we were not increasing our debt so rapidly now in the days of peace as we did in the days of war. His idea was to show that under other regimes we went rapidly into debt, but that now, though we are going further into debt, we are not going at quite so accelerated a pace. This is very true. He was not altogether fair even in that statement. Starting with 1914, when we did add $21,000,000 to our debt, the whole addition and far more due to comm.i-ments for the Transcontinental and Grand Trunk Pacific, and the loans we had to make to have them completed, though we did that year add 821,000,000 to our debt for those
29S5

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
purposes, we remember as well that the year before, notwithstanding corresponding obligations, we reduced the debt by $25,600,000. We effected a greater reduction in one year than all the aggregate reductions the present Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) had been able to make in the fifteen years antecedent during which he reigned as Minister of Finance. Yes, our debt additions are, I suppose, diminishing. The debt addition in the fiscal year ending in 1920 was some $674,000. 000. That was the year when we paid for demobilization and took care of the cash responsibilities which we thought this country owed to the men who returned from the war. The elements that make up that sum are largely composed of cash gratuities to those men, and of outlay for other policies then laid down, which policies hon. gentlemen opposite have dutifully followed by way of helping to establish the returned soldiers. Though we went into debt huge millions for that purpose, we were met by castigation on the part of hon. gentlemen opposite, including the Minister of Finance, and by the declaration that, if returned to power, they would adopt a better method and distribute further cash grants to those men. This declaration they promptly repudiated on attaining power.
The next year, when we had passed from those days of great and uncommon responsibilities, the addition to the debt was some $92,000,000, and in 1922 for which the present government is partly responsible, $81,000,000. This year the addition to debt is $57,000,000, not a very great reduction from the year before. The minister gives it to us as $49,000,000; but he gets that figure by crediting $8,000,000, which was just as much our property five years ago as it is our property to-day, $8,000,000 of exchange which was owed to us by the British government then, but which now is credited merely for the reason that now it is ascertained. These are huge additions to our debt.
In case I might overlook this, let me say that the Minister of the Interior (Mr. Stewart), in attributing our obligations for revenue to the late administration and to the great war debt which was piled up during its tenure of office, reflected upon us because, he stated, we had not gathered from the pockets of our people during the war and applied on our war obligations, as large a proportion as we should have. He contrasted us unfavourably with Great Britain. This has been a practice of hon. gentlemen opposite and of some hon. gentlemen who are not wholly opposite. I have never heard figures given by any of our critics; but if members
of the House will look at the figures given in the budget presentation of 1919 when the war was over, there will be found a statement of the revenues collected during the war, of the war debt, of the whole war outlay, of the capital debt as well, If hon. gentlemen will look at a corresponding statement by the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, they will find the British Chancellor of the Exchequer claiming that they succeeded, during the currency of the year, in paying 28 per cent of the war debt, of the war obligations, and having to borrow only the balance, 72 per cent. I went into his figures to ascertain how they were arrived at, and the only method by which they could have been arrived at was this, by taking the total outlay for the war, including interest thereon and resultant pensions, then ascertaining how far their excess of revenue during the war exceeded their other expenses, and applying that excess upon war obligations. If we take the very same method in Canada, we find our war obligations as presented in that budget running to $1,327,000. Add to this, interest thereon and our pensions; then set off against it the excess revenue over the other obligations, revenue over expenditure, which excess was $425,000,000, and it will be found our application against the whole war responsibility was not 28 per cent, but 29 per cent. Nor do I not know that we could have been expected to have reached the percentage of Great Britain. Great Britain was an older and a wealthier country. She had greater resources upon which to draw. Of course her responsibilities were greater; but we were much more comparable with Australia. I have gone into the figures for Australia, and I find that Australia was able to apply, not 29 per cent on her war obligations, but less than 15 per cent throughout the entire war period. Such is the record of Canada.
We gathered those funds from war profits, from a higher scale of income tax; we gathered those funds as well from a well directed additional tariff taxation to the extent in one year alone of $44,000,000, during which period not only industry, but agriculture and every occupation of our people flourished as never before. We gathered them by a higher income taxation than Britain imposed, because Britain's minimum was actually higher than ours, and her maximum was not more. We carried our profits taxation in its full extent throughout the year 1919, after Great Britain had reduced hers by almost one-half. Our profits taxation throughout, higher on certain industries than on others, because certain industries profited more than others, was higher than that of our great com-

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
petitor the United States, indeed it was the highest tax of its kind in the world. Beyond that our income taxation, though fixed on a scale lower than that of Great Britain until something over $150,000 per annum of income was reached, was on a scale higher even than Great Britain's and higher than Australia's for incomes beyond that amount. It was higher than the level of the United States on all classes of incomes, large and small. We must measure our power to tax in a very great degree, by corresponding taxation across the line. The government then in office went to the full extent it could go in levying from the people during the war period a large share of their earnings to pay the cost of the war. Very well. We got to the end; and though no one claims perfection or anything approaching perfection, nor claims there was not waste, for no war can be fought without waste, I venture to assert this as one conclusion, that we got more war results for the money we spent on the war than did any other country, save possibly Australia or Great Britain. Undoubtedly we got the equal of any country for the money we were able to expend. Let us not, then, bewail the debt of Canada. We are in a better position to discharge it than is any other nation which went through the entire course of the war. It has been shown in previous budget addresses that our debt, though heavy, is less than a third of the per capita tax of New Zealand and little more than half the per capita debt of Australia; and; of course, our debt is very much less per capita than is the debt of Great Britain.
Years ago, even as early as 1919, but more strenuously in 1920, we were prayed by hon. gentlemen opposite, nay, we were demanded bv them, to balance the budgets of that time. We were told that the war was past and the period for balancing budgets had come, and hon. gentlemen in 1920 pointed to Great Britain, which that year had virtually balanced hers. In 1921 more vociferously than ever they compared us unfavourably with Great Britain because we had an addition to our debt of some $80,000,000, while Great Britain s had actually been reduced. Those charges were true. But Great Britain had added to her war debt all the cost of her war material and so she was able to reduce her war debt thus enhanced, by the sale of war material to the extent, not of millions or hundreds of millions, but actually of billions of dollars. We on the other hand, though we were possessed of a share of war material, had relatively almost a trifling share. We had equipped our men on a per capita basis from 
the British government; therefore a large share of war material was not ours. Our debt was never enhanced by that increment, and consequently we could not sell war material to reduce. But with the passage of those years, conditions became comparable. Great Britain's war material has been sold, and for the past two years she has been virtually in the same position as we; but she continues to diminish her debt while we, with a new government in office, continue to increase ours. And this new government consists of the men who inveighed against us in earlier times because, under totally incomparable circumstances, we were not able to reduce. Now I think the time has come when a better showing should be made, and I certainly think the time has come when we ought not to be under the necessity, I had almost said the humiliation, of proclaiming to the world that we are budgeting for a deficit of some $70,000,000 for the year just ahead.
There are ways of balancing budgets. The Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding), in his address, thought of only one; the only possibility that seemed to be before his eye was the raising of taxes, as he described it, from new fields. Well, there are other ways of increasing taxes besides entering new fields, namely, the multiplying of taxes in the old fields. But the minister, although he has done that, did not emphasize the fact; the fact he emphasized was that he did not like to venture into new fields in order to balance his budget. It is not very long since he saw another and far better way than either of those plans to balance a budget, and that way was by reducing the expenditure of this country as we receded from the years of the war. Hon. gentlemen will remember that in the Estimates of 1922 it was proclaimed to the people of Canada that a saving of, I think, $137,000,000 was being effected by this economical government for the year just now passed in the way of appropriations for our railways. One would have expected it is true, that concurrently with the completion of two events or tasks, namely, the receding of the war- and necessarily the reduction of after-war services-and secondly, the rehabilitation of our railway systems that we had to take over;-one would naturally have expected I say, that concurrently with these two circumstances, it would be quite easy to reduce our expenditure. So no one was surprised when the government was able to present appropriations to this House less, as to our railways, by $137,000,000. It simply meant that the Grand Trunk, having been

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
put into shape for service, the Canadian National having been built also into shape for service, those obligations being discharged did not have to be discharged again. But notwithstanding this fact, and notwithstanding the other faftts to which I have alluded, what do we actually find the result of last year? What do we actually find in the way of diminution of expenditure as between 1922, nine months of which were ours, and 1923, no months of which were ours? The reduction is not $137,000,000; it is not $37,000,000; the reduction is nine million and a few thousand dollars. The actual expenditure last year as given by the minister m his budget statement, though he did not tabulate and add the figures-why, I leave hon. gentlemen to conjecture-the actual total expenditure, taking into account that charged to the consolidated revenue, the capital charge, the special war and railways expenditures amounted in 1921-22 to $463,305,000. The actual expenditure for this year, an expenditure composed of the same elements, is $454,280,000, or a diminution of $9,000,000. Why has 137 contracted to nine? How is the nine arrived at? Our Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment department is nearly $4,000,000 less. I am not criticizing the reduction; the Minister of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment has frankly and publicly stated that, having examined into the services we had established, he had made up his mind that he could not improve upon them and so simply carried them on. This reduction is due to the fact that the necessity for the money has contracted; we are getting further from the war. There is a reduction also of $3,000,000 or more in our pensions. I have the exact figures before me from the Department of Finance; the reduction in pensions is $3,300,000. There is a reduction as well in our Soldiers' Settlement appropriations. In those soldier services the government was able, quite properly, I presume, to save this country some $7,500,000. This makes up virtually all of the total sum of reductions from 1921 to 1922; there is only a million and a half to account for besides. But they had nothing at all this year in the way of loans to the provinces for housing; they had nothing at all for unemployment-they let the unemployed take care of themselves. This may be an evidence of selfishness, but it could scarcely be said to be an evidence of economy. Then they did not have the same appropriations for railways. But in all the services where it took real strength of character and will to make contractions, instead of contractions they have
made additions, and at the rate they are going they will very soon overtake all they are able to reduce because of diminishing soldier services. At the present rate of additions to civil government, at the rate of additions to many other of the services mentioned in the tabulated statements obtainable from the Department of Finance they will very soon overtake and pass the appropriations of the nearwar years.
Such is the financial record of the government. And yet although standing under a deficit for this past year of $57,000,000 the Minister of Finance gives us figures of contemplated expenditures for the current year aggregating $434,000,000, and budgets only for $372,000,000: What is going to be the effect of all this on the name of Canada throughout the world? What is going to be the effect on the operations of business and the securing of money everywhere for the purposes of our industrial expansion? What is to be the effect now on this Dominion which ended the war in strength and virility, which was admitted by this government to have been in the best position of any land when peace was declared, if we have to acknowledge financial defeat, haul down our flag and say "For the life of us though we don't expand we cannot pay our debts"?
The minister proposes some increases and some reductions of taxation. Everybody rejoices in reductions. But what does reduction of taxation mean when it is accomplished by an increase of our national debt? It is all right to talk about taking $2,500,000 off sugar -and, mark you, it is not off the sugar refiner; the protection stands as it was. I am not complaining of that-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Arthur Meighen: No, I am not complaining, and I did not complain three years ago. Hon. gentlemen will hear me on this subject, and one thing they will not be able to find fault with-they will not find me guilty of apostacy. There is a reduction of $2,500,000, the minister estimates, in sugar taxes-we had a duty of 2-39 cents a pound on refined sugar and 1-69 cents a pound on raw sugar; he takes 50 cents per hundred pounds off refined and a corresponding duty off the raw, thus1 leaving the refiner just where he was, a reduction on the whole to the consumer of half a cent a pound, and thereby he says he saves the country $2,500,000.	Well, is
this more creditable than the course of Great Britain? Great Britain has a five cent per pound duty on sugar. She maintains this duty, but she is reducing her debt by one

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
hundred million pounds. We are cutting down a two cent duty and we are adding to our debt by $72,000,000. Let the government balance its budget and we will all welcome any reduction of taxation; but let no government boast of tax reductions when they are made at the expense of our credit and add to our national debt.
I have a word to say about last year's alterations in the budget. Hon. gentlemen will remember that though in the tariff there was rigid, definite adherence to the principle of protection-accompanied as usual by aspersions on its name-although there was almost an exact adherence to the very schedules of our tariff, the minister made certain proclamations of "reforms" which he said he was effecting. Every proclamation being a change from what had been our policy was received with acclaims of joy by hon. gentlemen of the House in two of its departments. The first I believe was an announcement of a great "reform" in the abandonment of what was called our depreciated currency clause. rHds clause it was said was merely disguised protection. It raised our protection 1,000 per cent, and if we wanted such protection the manly thing, the minister said, was to put 1,000 per cent protection on and call it 1,000 per cent; But he had looked into the subject of depreciated currency and had determined to sweep the whole mockery of protection away. Well, when the applause had died down there was a little consideration given to the question, there was some debate, and the minister later came down with a substitutive depreciated currency clause which did in another and less efficient way what the old depreciated currency clause which he had denounced had done. His new clause put the duty anywhere from 100 to
1,000	per cent at the will of the minister but disguised its operation. He has operated that depreciated currency clause ever since.
Then he announced that there was a marking clause which had been scorned by many as an abhorrence. As disguised protection it had been claimed we had provided that goods from foreign countries should be marked with the country of origin. He said this would not do, especially as we had not put it in into operation. Neither had we. There had been difficulty in putting it into operation. It was a matter which required regulations difficult to work out. He was going to wipe this plan away as well. But the minister took this precaution; while he wiped the general clause off the statute book he retained full power to his government to put the same clause back or any part of it, and all by that abhorrent in-
strument-order in council. I told him that he was simply taking to his government power to favour any industry which favoured him, and to penalize any industry which did not meet with the smile of his good will. Well, what has been the result? I asked some time ago, for a statement of the orders in council passed, and I found that two industries, and only two[ had got the favour of this law,-one of them was an industry which helped to elect the Prime Minister in his own county of York. Lead pencils now have to be marked with the country of origin; lithographic work has to be similarly marked. These are supposed to be in a class by themselves, these alone have received the favour of the government. It would be interesting to know upon what principle these favours have been bestowed.
Then there was another; the dumping clause, particularly as it was applicable to fruit, did not suit the government, and the minister came to parliament with a considerable flourish of trumpets and announced that this dumping clause had to go. But before the debate was through, the Minister of Customs rose-prompted no doubt by the Minister of Finance-and proposed a dumping clause which for autocratic audacity has never been equalled in this or any parliament. Hon. gentlemen have said that I supported it. I did support it; I had no alternative. We had either to support it or do without a dumping clause altogether. I wanted and want still the dumping clause that was there before. It was fair and right; let any hon. gentleman vote to restore it and I will vote with him and against the autocratic dumping clause which exists to-day. But I am not willing to imperil the industries of Canada, especially the primary industries, because of exception to the character of any dumping clause.
The minister had some other proposals last year which he seemed to think were great reforms-a change from the policy of his predecessors. He announced a new duty on tobacco, an increase of $3 per thousand on cigarettes, and an increase from 28 cents to 40 cents on raw leaf tobacco; and he believed that he would sceure thereby an additional revenue of $5,000,000. Well, again the force of argument was brought to bear; the minister was warned, and warned in all seriousness, that the limit of the cigarette excise had been reached and that if he went beyond he would do harm. He yielded to the extent of 50 per cent; he fixed the excise at $7.50 instead of $9, as he'had proposed. Now, what has been the result of this "reform," this variation from the tariff which he found in effect? In one year he has reduced the tobacco business of Canadian pro-

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
ducers by 22 per cent; in one year as well he has lost to the treasury of Canada 81,327,000. Well, have these twin misfortunes been obtained with an accompanying boon of reduced tobacco consumption?-if such is called a boon. Not at all. The minister admits the fact himself

just as much tobacco used, just as many cigarettes smoked as before, but the Canadian business is impaired, the Canadian treasury is depleted to the extent of $1,327,000-and the only people to benefit have been United States tobacco dealers and producers, and the bootlegger, who has thus been given a return cargo to this country. I venture to suggest that, laying aside the injury to Canadian business for the profit of the United States, the loss to the treasury of over a million dollars is something of a serious price to pay for the privilege of having the present government in power. Such is the penalty of another of the Liberal "reforms" which we were treated to last year.
Then there was one more. There was to be a duty on beet sugar production. It was fixed first of all at a very considerable figure, 48 cents per hundred. In the course of argument this figure was reduced and at the reduced figure, 24 cents per hundred, it went into effect. Did I say it went into effect? The Finance Minister tells us that they never collected anything under it. Do hon gentlemen know why they did not? For the simple reason that the government took it upon itself to postpone its application. They never let it go into effect, although it had been passed by this House; and now after a year goes by, during which the reduction was postponed by the government, they come to parliament and say "this was another blunder; the whole thing has to be repealed."
What is left, then, of the "reforms" of the 1922 budget? Do hon. gentlemen know? Economy is gone. The sugar duty reform is gone. The cigarette reform is gone. The depreciated currency reform is gone. The dumping reform is gone. The markmg reform is gone, or almost gone; the old system re-appears to help along the lead pencils of North York. All these things have gone. What is left-let me repeat-of the budget "reforms" of 1922? I venture to suggest that by the time a year goes by, even by the time three weeks go by, there will be just as little left of the alterations the minister brings down in the budget of 1923.
I come to a discussion of the new proposals of this year. The minister announces a scaling of one tenth of the British preferential duties. I do not know upon what principle the minister does so. It is not in order to
avoid protection; he tells us so himself. Perhaps it is in order to strike a blow at those horrid combines, monopolies and trusts which were the particular object of the diatribes of hon. gentlemen opposite two and three years ago. I wonder what are the "combines, monopolies and trusts," struck or staggered, by this peeling of the British preferential tariff to the extent on an average, of 1.9 per cent. What combine or monopoly is now the object of the vengeance of the government? Does anyone know? Hon. gentlemen who examine the industrial fabric of our country will find this out: that the one class of industry seriously affected is the woollen industry. The others upon whose goods the diminished duty operates are those whose main and determining competitors 4 p.m. are in the United States of America. In the woollen industry our great competitor is Great Britain. Is the woollen industry a combine, monopoly or trust? Now. let me inquire. There may be such monsters in Canada, but if they deserve anything in the way of penalty at the hands of this government, they certainly do not get it in this budget. But the woollen industry in this country is not a combine. It is composed of small mills separately owned, scattered over the length and breadth of eastern Canada, mainly in eastern Ontario. Not one of them is a mill of great proportions; nothing in the nature of a combine was ever alleged against any of them; all of them are struggling to keep their heads above -water, and have been so for years. Such is the industry against which this government has the courage to strike its blow. Tender and delicate the assault is, but they were just as careful in selecting the enemy as they were in tempering the force of the blow.
Then the budget goes on; the American tariff is to be left just where it is. Did I say, the American tariff? I should have said, the tariff against the world. Outside of this 1.9 per cent change in British preference there are more increases than decreases in the budget. There is a new duty on currants and raisins, four times beyond what it was before Why this increased duty upon currants and raisins? Here we have an echo of the French treaty debate. Do hon. gentlemen recall that we told the government in that debate that they had sacrificed this country, and had been utterly worsted in their negotiations with France; that they had put our own tariff out of line-put our luxuries away below our necessities, let off the rich and burdened the poor; that while they had reduced luxuries and thus made a big concession to France,

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
they had come back from Fiance with a far higher French tariff against our actual exports than we had before? We told them as well the reason. The reason they did so was this:	They had not armed themselves with any weapon before they started to negotiate with France; that they should have raised our duties on luxuries before they went over to that country, and thereby have been in a position to offer something to France in return for concessions by France to us; that instead they went over there bound hand and foot by the state of our own tariff and by their own commitments -the sincerity of which hon. gentlemen can now judge-by their own commitments uttered over and over again in this country. There was the reason why this Dominion was penalized and worsted in the French treaty negotiations. Our ministers took thought; they saw the force of our argument, though they were not frank enough to admit it; and now, having to negotiate with Australia they are advised by the Minister of Trade and Commerce-who has been over there-that unless they put our duties up on goods which Australia wants to sell to us they will have no chance in the negotiations at all. They come to parliament and they say: Australia wants to sell us raisins and currants. If we are to make a deal with Australia, and not capitulate the way we did with F'rance, we will have to have a duty that is worth while on raisins and currants. So they lift the tax on these goods to three cents a pound in order that they may negotiate with Australia. Now, will anybody answer me this question: How is it this is a good plan to employ in the case of our sister dominion of Australia and a bad plan to employ in the case of France? I will be interested in the answer to that question. I hope the Prime Minister, if he speaks, will venture to essay the task.
There is also a new duty upon artificial silk. Artificial silk under this budget has a whole range of duties up to 374 per cent. The minister did not dilate very long on the reasons for that move. I am not complaining of the duty. I do not know any way to get industries in this country, any way to keep our country strong and prosperous, a real country where people can get work, except by having duties on articles that we can make in this Dominion. But here is a government, which has been denouncing protection through all its opposition life, which has members supporting it, some of them even within the fold and rapture of office, who still tell us that protection is all wiong, a 
Government which to-day is trying to pretend to this country that the only reason it is maintaining a protective tariff is because it finds such tariff here and because it will disturb industries erected on that basis if it dares to shatter their foundation; here is a government, I say, giving such as the only reason for maintaining a protective tariff and then undertaking to establish a new industry on the same foundation. Thus they make it increasingly impossible for those wno may ever wish to do so to get any relief from protection. Well, if inconsistency was a charge to level against this government no more concrete, glaring, brazen instance could be found. This government has been open to charges of inconsistency ever since it got into power. Why I almost smile at the resolution of the hon. member for Brandon (Mr. Forke) m which he alleges inconsistency against the present Prime Minister of Canada. We take that indictment as proven in this Dominion now.
There are . other increases but in the main the tariff is left practically where it was. The whole principle of a protective tariff is there intact. Indeed, it is reinforced by this very legislation, the new legislation, which i3 brought down in this budget. In respect of the shaving in the duties on woollens affecting a lot of small mills through this country I call attention to a further fact: that a similar shaving last year was followed by an increase of British importations of almost 50 per cent, by a contraction of Canadian production of 33 per cent and necessarily by a contraction of Canadian labour and Canadian prosperity. Was it followed however by any contraction of the price? Does anybody know of woollens being cheaper this year than last? Are you buying them cheaper in your stores? Not at all. The consumers got nothing, but cur industries have been, in a measure, sacrificed to their larger competitors in the older land.
There was another effect of the tariff of last year. The government did venture then into the realm of reduction in the general tariff but only as to one class of goods-one that is worth mentioning. I refer to the reduction of the duty on farm implements. Here a 2J per cent lowering in the general tariff took place on the part of a government which had solemnly promised to sweep those duties all away. Now, I want to put this question in the hearing of the House: What has been the effect of this reduction? Has there been any increase of labour employed in the farm implement industry of Canada? Has there been any increase in. the consumption of Canadian goods? Has there been more work given to

The Budget

Mr. Meighen
one man in this Dominion? On the contrary, the reduction has operated exactly the other way. There has been less production, there has been a contraction of our towns, there has been an exodus of our mechanics, there has been a decline of our population, there has been a drying-up of sources of our revenue, there has been a lessening of our markets. Well, who has received the benefit? Are we told that the western Canadian farmer, or the farmer in any other part of Canada, has received the benefit? If so what has it been? Are farm implements cheaper to-day than they were a year ago? I have not heard of it. But I have read an advertisement which I think I brought with me, an advertisement published in a western paper which is interesting enough to give to the House. The advertisement in question is published in the Yorkton Enterprise and reads as follows:
We are still in business carrying a full line of International Harvester Agricultural Implements, but regret at this time to have to inform the public that prices on agricultural implements have been slightly advanced since last season, for which we are not responsible.
Advances on some of the more important lines are
as follows:
Binders	 % 8 00
Seeders	
12	00Mower and Rake	
3	50Gang Plow	
6	00Cultivator	
7	50
and other smaller lines about the same proportion.
Then follows this interesting paragraph which I hope the Prime Minister will remember and ponder the rest of his life:
This advance has been made notwithstanding the fact that we have a Liberal government at Ottawa, with sixty-five Progressives on the job and a Canadian Council of Agriculture in the background, all supposedly working overtime in the interests of agriculture.
I want to say a few words on the general question covered by this advertisement. I do not need to make any statement merely in order that members of the House may know where I stand. There has been misrepresentation of my attitude, there is contsant misrepresentation; it is all for a purpose. I have stood all my life for a policy of moderate protection for this country. Under the conditions of the last few years I have felt that the tariff in effect was on a general scale that could justly be described as moderate protection. In that stand I was attacked by hon. gentlemen across the way; attacked as following a false principle, as following a principle that bore down on producer and consumer and that favoured the monopoly and the trust; attacked as favouring a high protective tariff, by the very hon. gentlemen who come in this debate and declare that this same tariff-raised in some respects and slightly, almost microscopically diminished in others-is not now high protection but moderate protection and even a low tariff. I believe it is of no avail to argue the principle before many hon. members. But it is no longer a waste of time to argue it before hon. members opposite. It used to be. Those who fondly hoped in the years and the months that have gone by that the progress free trade principles were making was rapid, that the day of their triumph was dawning, have received a rude awakening since they have entered the parliament of Canada. Is it not plain, I ask of them, that your adherents in this House do not number more than half of what they did in the last parliament? Instead of getting converts you are only finding apostates. You cannot rally half the number to your flag that you could two years ago. Such "progress" is very slow. Why, the speeches hon. members made, particularly the speech of the hon. leader of the Progressive party (Mr. Forke), the speeches as well of other hon. members behind him- those speeches would have been received with paeans of joy and admiration by hon. members across the way if their authors had only made them two years ago. No, there does not seem to have been very rapid progress. And why? Do hon. members really think it is because the great part of the people of Canada elect representatives who are slaves to fetishes, who are instruments of great potentates or the victims of plutocratic corruption? I hope, hon. members do not believe such things-The hon. member for North Waterloo (Mr.. Euler) gave the lie to these assertions on behalf of the two older parties in very firm language Thursday night. I paid him the compliment of saying that I had never heard him hurl these aspersions upon others, but that I knew a party which had got into power by this very process. No; such absurd humbug is not the reason. The simple, reason is that lying along side of a great republic, living in a world every country but one, yes every country of which to-day is protected, we, particularly, a young undeveloped Dominion, beside a tremendous nation the biggest industrially the world has ever known, cannot lay our markets open freely to them. We cannot lay our manufacturers and producers under competition at the hands of those who have their own market guarded for their advantage and an equal show with us in the outside world, while the producer in this Dominion has not access to their markets,

The Budget-Mr. Meighen

has no preference in other countries and has not even a priority in his own. These things were known to hon. members opposite two years ago just as well as they are known to them to-day. But they had a purpose to serve. The glory of office was in front of them, and they sought to delude a great population of this country into their support by professing principles and policies in which they had no belief at all. No. Protection will be the law of Canada for many years. There will be a different world before protection can be abandoned. We cannot get on under any principle other than that of protection. I remember it is only two years, indeed, since the then leader of the Progressive party, (Mr. Crerar) seconded in most eloquent and wonderfully emphatic language by the then hon. member for Red Deer, Mr. Michael Clark, declared that a change was coming over the commercial world, tariffs were coming down, the day of protection was nearly over, and they pointed in particular to the United States of America. In the words of the then member for Red Deer, the United States of America was "comparatively a free trade country," and in his opinion was soon to open its doors and the light of free trade was to shine. Well, what has taken place? There is not an hon. member to-day, even to my left, who so far deludes himself as even to profess that the world is moving to free trade.	And this
country of all countries, with its resources undeveloped, in whose neighbourhood we have the great developed, advanced, protected republic-this of all other countries would be playing the part of madness to march ahead of the others in the direction of free trade.
While on this point, I may deal with another phase of the budget presentation. I .refer to a reciprocity offer to the United States. As respects the subject of reciprocity, [DOT]do not let any hon. member think that there has been a change of opinion in this country. *Oh, we have heard a lot about these changes [DOT]of opinion. We heard about them away back rin the eighties and in 1891; we heard about them in 1911. But always when the challenge came and the issue was disclosed there was found to be no change of opinion in Canada. Why is it I am asked that though we like to have treaties of reciprocity, favourable trade arrangements if we can get them with other countries in the world, and particularly with those of our own empire, we do not think it the part of wisdom to enter into an extensive reciprocity convention with the United States? Why is it? The United States I am told lies beside us, a tremendous population, and there-
fore a potential market, with less transport costs than to other lands; why not make, I am asked an extensive trade arrangement with them? Well, the reason lies in the very geography of this continent. The reason lies still more in the very fact of our separate nationhood. Let me explain. With any other country we are on terms of parity. Other countries are natural consumers of our goods, and we consumers of the goods of other countries. With different geographical conditions, different industrial occupations, other countries would have just as much to lose by cancellation of such an agreement as we would. With the United States the position is different. [DOT] We are only 9,000,000 people and they are 112,000,000. They have a production twenty times our production. They have the biggest factories, the biggest industrial concerns and the biggest commercial organizations in the civilized world. They are as well our greatest competitors in all our lines of production. If we enter into a commercial arrangement with them there would be something at least, to say for it, if conditions were such that we knew there would be permanency to such arrangement. Now, mark you, I said there would be something to say for it. There would at the same time be much to say against it. In my judgment it would result in conditions in Canada very comparable with what to-day exist in the northeastern and the northwestern states. In these states their industries have been drawn by the magnetism of the great huge plants and populations of the central states, and the northwestern and northeastern districts are a little more than feeders for the great industrial centres of that nation. Tariffs the world over, though you can argue against them, have a tendency to distribute over the surface of the world varieties of occupations, instead of concentrating in particular localities all those engaged in single occupations. But I said before, there would be something to say for such a treaty if there was any guarantee or hope of permanency. In that case we would know what to do, investors would know what to do; agriculturists, would know what to do; ranchers, would know what to do; men thinking of going into any line of trade or production would know just what to expect. They would make their investments, and they would order their lives accordingly.
But is there any guarantee of permanency, or can there be any guarantee of permanency, under any conceivable circumstances in a reciprocity arrangement with the United States?
I ask that question and I ask it seriously, because in my judgment it is at the root and

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
the heart of the whole problem. There was no
permanency inherent in the 1911 treaty. Each country reserved the right to depart from it at its will. That the United States insisted on; that the United States will always insist on; and such insistence no government of the United States dare neglect at the price of its life as a government. No, the right to annul will always be theirs, and that right they have never failed, in the whole course of their existence, to exercise. They exercised it back in 1866, when our industries, having set themselves in those channels, our East trading with East, West with West, centre with centre, were rendered all but helpless by the annulment of the agreement and the consequent stoppage of trade. We do not need to go back to the 50's and the 60's; let us go back just two or three years. We entered into a reciprocity agreement, not an extensive one, a very simple one, a comparatively negligible one, as lately as four or five years ago. They proposed in their tariff that they would give this country free entry for our wheat, our flour and our other wheat products into the United States, conditional on our country doing the same for theirs- precisely the arrangement as respects wheat and wheat products that the reciprocity agreement of 1911 made as to a far wider range of articles. The government of the day accepted that proposal, and we placed wheat and wheat products on the free list. Their proposal extended to potatoes and we accepted that as well. For a few weeks this operated, and then came a period of suspension because of the two governments controlling theii crops. The suspension ended, and within four months of the close of the suspension, the United States put a high duty on wheat and potatoes, and ended our reciprocity agreement. I urge this fact only to show that the possibility of any permanency to such an arrangement is nil. Not only is there no likelihood, there is utterly no possibility,-the exigencies of American politics demand that there be no possibility,-of permanence. This country is one country; the United States is another. We have our government; they have theirs. We are a British country; they are an American country. Their parliament, their legislatures, have the right to act. The longer an extensive reciprocity agreement operates with the United States, the more this country depends upon the continuance of that reciprocity agreement. Does anyone dispute my assertion? Did we not depend upon it more in 1866 than we did in 1854? Were we not injured more by*its collapse in 1866 than we should have been had it collapsed in 1855? Did we ever get on in 190J
our lives as well as after we set our faces the other way, to develop east and west channels of trade which no other government could interfere with or destroy? The longer such a reciprocity arrangement operates, the more dependent we become. You say then that it must have proved to be good. For the sake of argument and only for the sake of argument, let me grant that. The fact is that the power to annul is a tremendous weapon in the hands of the United States. Annulment - would mean very little to that country. Their trade, their production, is twently times our own. Our trade with them is fractional as compared with their whole trade. Their trade with us would be tremendous compared with our whole trade. Our West would trade with their West, our East with their East, our centre with their centre. Those channels being established and other channels being tc the same extent abandoned, the power to annul the treaty means a vital power over the legislature of this country. Hon gentlemen say: "They are a friendly people." Yes, but they are the American republic. We have things we have to take care of in competition with the United States. I could name them one by one. As matters stand now, when we are in no alliance, we are on a parity. They have no such extraordinary power, I am not afraid as matters stand today of any reprisal in the power of the United States, to wield. There is no reprisal they can exercise over us to-day that need put fear into the heart of any citizen of this Dominion. Whatever we may desire to do, in the interest of our country, let us do. There is no reprisal they can exercise that will not do them as much injury as it will do ourselves. But put us ten years under a reciprocity agreement; give those channels ten years to become established and then tell me what chance we would have in any negotiation with the United States. I ask hon. gentlemen in all seriousness to put themselves in that position. Where would we be then if we sought to make terms-say as to the draining of our lakes and our St. Lawrence through the Chicago canal? Where would we be then if we sought to make terms on half a dozen things of vital consequence to this country, which lie between us and them at this hour as matters of contention? No nation that respects itself will get into such a position. We are so geographically situated that there is a peril which, if we have not the manliness to guard against, we will afterwards be the victims of. Whether those words sink in or not, I ask at least that they be remembered, I ask that they be reflected upon, and, if the time ever comes, as it may, when by the
The Budget-Mr. Meighen

turn of the political wheel the United States government may look to us again for a reciprocal agreement, I ask hon. gentlemen before they commit themselves-when this is a real question, for now it is only a gesture-to think those thoughts over and to determine whether they are content lightheartedly to travel along that road.
I pass from reciprocity and I come to a discussion of other proposals of this budget. I purpose to discuss them in the light of their wisdom and in the light as well of the political honour of this Dominion. Hon. gentlemen opposite are not very fond of such discussion. Indeed, there is a tendency in more quarters than among the government members, but animated, I think, solely from there, to say: "Oh, we will let the past bury the past; political platforms anyway are not very serious matters; we cannot erect a future by decrying the past; the Liberal convention is four years old now or nearly so, and there is nothing to be gained by bringing its unwelcome ghost before this House." Such is the constant importuning of hon. gentlemen of the government side. I venture to say this- and I do so without any assumption of superior virtue at all-that if political platforms are to mean nothing, if they are only constructed to be discarded, if the carrying of them into effect, when power is gained, is not a matter of honour and of right, then responsible government is a mockery, public life is a sham and representative institutions are no better than a fiasco. Hon. gentlemen do not like to be reminded of their commitments of years ago. I have not seen one of them produce that brown-covered edition of the chronicles of the Liberal party at convention in 1919. I have not heard one of them read from it in this House or seen them show it to his fellows. The hon. member for North Waterloo, bolder than the rest, comes forward and says: "I do not think a government should be bound by the ill-digested conclusions of a convention." And the Minister of the Interior (Mr. Stewart), while affecting a certain academic loyalty to the resolutions of that convention says to hon. members to my left: "Oh, it is all 'right for you to talk; you are in opposition; but it is altogether different when you get into power." I have listened during the debate to this sort of contention from the hon. member for North Waterloo in the clear language that he uses so well; I have listened to dozens more of apologetic imprecations from the perspiring periods of the Minister of the Interior, all the way through to the massive and majestic eloquence of the Minister of Agriculture. But let hon. gentle-

men reflect: What is to be the result on the young men, on all the people of our country, if honour and fidelity to political pledges are to be openly flouted in the parliament of Canada? Hon. gentlemen tried it in 1896. They made a show of allegiance then which at least had the merit of a certain plausibility. Now, not from one without authority, not through a mere backbencher, but through the mouth of the Minister of Finance, who is in charge of fiscal policy, they flout all allegiance to their commitments of only four years ago. The Minister of Finance openly tells this House that he is not bound by those covenants that his government is not bound by them, that his party is not bound by them. Why? Because at that convention he did not vote for them himself!
I said I would speak frankly in the presence of the Minister of Finance. He is not here, but I cannot be deterred on that account. The Minister of Finance has done no credit to the politics of Canada when he made that assertion; nor has he done any credit to his own record in our public life. The Minister of Finance was a party to, was present at, and took an active share in the framing of the very resolutions he now repudiates; and after they were adopted he contested on the basis of those pledges the leadership of the Liberal party which had adopted them and which had pledged itself to put them into effect. The hon. gentleman, for months after went through this country as a leading Liberal and as the prospective Minister of Finance and never for one moment gave in public a soul in Canada to believe that he himself differed in the least degree from the pledges and commitments of his party. Then he got into power and said, "I am bound no more." His Prime Minister, (Mr. Mackenzie King), too, stood up and declared last year that all he was bound by was a certain obligation to regard these specific, definite, concrete tariff covenants printed in his platform as a chart and compass to guide him in the sea of politics; and he the same Prime Minister listens now to his Minister of Finance declare openly to parliament that he has flung chart and compass away after the platform, and that all are gone and guide him and his party no more And this is called honourable politics! But more. The Prime Minister of this country declared in this House, only a little over a year before he came into power, that he intended to put into effect the very articles of the Liberal platform adopted at that convention. I read from Hansard of the year 1920, 1st June, at page 2993:

The Budget-Mr. Meighen
I would not be worthy of the trust reposed in me by members of the party with which it is my privilege to be associated in the position that at the moment I hold, were I to be one thing at one time and another thing at another time. Sir, I was chosen, for the responsible duties that I am seeking to discharge, at the Liberal Convention at which the platform of the Liberal party was laid down, and by that platform I intend to stand or fall. The resolution on the tariff was as follows:
Then he read the resolution verbatim-all about free farm implements, all about free cement, all about free foodstuffs, all about free fertilizers, all about free oils, and all these other long lists of classes of articles which his convention bound him to put on the free list "when returned to power." And he added.
Let me further point out that there is not a line in the resolution adopted by the Liberal convention which has not appeared in resolutions proposed in parliament from this side prior to the time that the convention was held.
The assertion he thus made was true; it was all true. The authority, the solemnity of the Liberal convention, all was added to by the resolutions of the whole Liberal party in this House time and again, year after year. Then the Prime Minister went on to attach another article of sanctity to the Liberal platform. He declared that "the last public address by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, only two or three weeks before his death, was, in the main, one approving of a resolution passed by the eastern Ontario Liberals, in words almost identical with the resolution which was adopted at the Liberal convention." Did he tell us then that this same resolution was not approved by the hon. member for Shelburne and Queens (Mr. Fielding) whom he intended to make Minister of Finance, and consequently that his party was not to be bound? Was there any language used in the whole speech of the Prime Minister which was not diametrically flagrantly, violently opposed to any suggestion of that sort? On the preceding page the Prime Minister made this statement, and I ask that it be brought to the ears of the Minister of Finance, for the Minister of Finance was present when the Prime Minister uttered these words, and he heard them without protest:
You had there exactly what you have here,-some taking extreme views in one direction, others taking extreme views in another direction. But, Sir, you had the splendid spectacle of that vast assemblage of men and women standing up as one and approving the platform of the Liberal party.
No absolution there, no exception of the Minister of Finance, no exception of the hon. member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler), no exception of anyone; everything the Prime Minister said on that occasion was said in the hearing of these two hon. gentlemen. The Prime Minister emphatically stated then that
at the convention the whole "vast assemblage" stood up and voted for the Liberal platform as one.


Mr. EULER:: I beg my right hon. friend's pardon; I was not present when the resolution was carried.


Arthur Meighen: I did not say so; I said that the declaration of the Prime Minister in parliament, that all who were present at the convention had voted for the Liberal platform, was made in the hearing of the hon. gentleman and of the present Minister of Finance.


William Daum Euler: I was wrong, evidently; I assumed that the hon. member was referring to the convention.


Arthur Meighen: No; I take the hon. member's word for it that he was not present at the vote; he was evidently conveniently absent. But this is not all. The very same year the Liberal party of the province of Alberta, headed then by the present Minister of the Interior (Mr. Stewart), met also in convention in the city of Calgary. This convention mark you was headed by the Minister who now tells us how different it is when you get into power. At this convention they adopted all the things adopted at the Liberal convention of 1919; but they did a lot more. Why, they said, there is no difference that anyone can see between the platform of the Liberal party, as professed and voted for in parliament, and the platform of the Farmers' party of Canada. And as it was necessary for them all to unite against the Tories, they voted for a resolution in which they quoted the whole Farmer platform and swallowed it line for line, declaring it to constitute the policy of the Liberal party of Alberta, headed by the present Minister of the Interior. But more. Their appetites were not satisfied even with the Farmers' platform. After quoting and adopting the whole Agrarian programme they added the following clause:
But this convention further asserts that free trade with Great Britain and the United States should be the ideal of the Liberal party, and that it is and shall oontinue to be the duty of Liberalism to earnestly strive to so regulate and direct the fiscal policy of Canada as to ultimately attain free trade with Great Britain and the United States.
Again I emphasize the abservation of the Minister of the Interior-it is very different when you get into power.
Yes, these western ministers say they struggle, they still believe, they still hope. Evidently there is to be the very same plan of campaign in the country in respect of this tariff and the new policy of the government, the same double dealing, the same two-
The Budget-Mr. Meighen

edged sword as there was when they were in opposition. In opposition the plan was to fly to the four winds of heaven the Farmer platform-the convention platform-to proclaim it in all the issues of their party literature, but at the same time through the mouth of the hon. member for St. Law-rence-St. George (Mr. Marler), through the mouth of the present Minister of Justice (Sir Lomer Gouin) and through the mouth of the hon. member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler) to quietly assure all those interested the other way that they need not fear the Liberal party, that no matter what the platform said everything would be all right with them. Such was the method pursued, such seems to be the method still. The Minister of Finance stands up and says, "Here is the tariff of the Liberal party. Last year we shaved a little here and a little there, this year we shave a little here and we raise a little there, but now it is stable save only for exceptional cases." He told the whole business world of this Dominion that except in very exceptional cases, which he described, they could regard this as the permanent tariff of this country for some years to come. But the Minister of Agriculture says, "Oh, he did not mean that at all." He tells us that parliament can change the tariff next year. Well who does not know that? What we are discussing though, what the Finance Minister was pronouncing was the policy of this government. It has been proclaimed by the Minister of Finance.
The Minister of Agriculture will be encouraged to carry on his pillow fight and to dangle hopes before the western farmer, but from our experience of the past I do not think we will put the influence of the Minister of Agriculture against the influence of the Minister of Finance. In the cabinet combats last year and this the Minister of Agriculture had all the cards, and all the records, he had everything on his side. He could have said to the Minister of Finance and to every other member of this government who was in the House of Commons in 1919, "Why, gentlemen, you voted for these very things I am arguing for, you voted in 1919 for the resolution of the hon. member for Brome which called upon the late government to free the food of the people and to free as well all the instruments of production and all the spare parts entering into the same. You voted for this motion of the hon. member for Brome, you voted for free food when there was not one man hungry in this Dominion for five that are hungry now." He could have said as well, "Why, the Prime Min-

ister in 1920 quoted with approval and affirmed his fidelity to the statement of Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Hamilton in 1913 that the unalterable policy of the Liberal party was to have food free from customs duty for all the people." Yes, and he could have called forth the convention platform, that beautiful pamphlet, and said, "here is the book of the chronicles of the Liberal party, read it and behold our faith." All these arguments he had on his side. Then he could have come to the New Testament issued just before the election, with the photograph of the Prime Minister on the back and his signature inside, wherein it was declared that all those commitments of 1919 constituted the policy of the Liberal party still. All these weapons were in the grip of the Minister of Agriculture and in the grip of the Minister of the Interior. But how did they use them? What was the result of the contest? They lost all along the line. They did not win a single skirmish. So what is the hope for the future? Why, the Minister of Agriculture only makes a laughing stock of his friends. The Minister of Agriculture is an apostate to everything he has declared for in western Canada. The Minister of the Interior is the same.
Let me emphasize here that hon. members do not escape behind the "indigestibility," as described b}? the hon. member for Waterloo, of a convention platform. They voted for the same thing in this very parliament in 1919 -save the member for North Waterloo- he was honest enough to escape-and the hon. member for Sherbrooke (Mr. McCrea) ; they were the only two who had the courage of their convictions then; the rest, including the Minister of Finance including the Minister of Marine, including the Minister of Trade and Commerce, including the Secretary of State, including the Minister without portfolio (Mr. Sinclair) who sits in the seats of the mighty though I am afraid he does not exercise much of the power of the mighty-all these, indeed over half of the present government, voted in this House for the resolution in 1919 of the hon. member for Brome.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


Arthur Meighen: What is wrong?


William Duff: That is not a fair reference to the hon. member for Queen's (Mr. Sinclair).


Arthur Meighen: I would be willing to say the same of the hon. member for Lunenburg.

The Budget-Mr. Meighen


William Duff: You are fit to say anything, but the people do not listen to you.


Arthur Meighen: These hon. gentlemen
voted for that resolution, declared it to mark their course, declared for free food-let me repeat, at a time when there was more prosperity in this Dominion, less men out of work-indeed, scarcely any out of work at all-less need of it than there is to-day many times over. They declared for free instruments of production at a time when there was a prosperity throughout the farming community of Canada, which we know nothing of to-day, at a time when wheat was over $2.00 a bushel and oats over $1.00 a bushel, whereas to-day wheat is half of its former price and oats you can hardly sell at all. But this was the policy of the Liberal party then. If there was an arguable case for it at that time, the conditions demand it ten times as strongly now. I stood against it then I stand against it to-day. I did not believe the policy they then advocated would result in the conditions they professed to desire; I do not believe so now.
But I want to come to some other features of this budget. Increases in taxation constitute an addition to the burdens of the people. New taxation is all right if accompanied by economy; unaccompanied by economy new taxation is all wrong. This government has added again to the sales tax. If there is one tax that comes upon the back of everyone almost equally, the poor and the rich alike, it is the sales tax of this Dominion. We imposed the sales tax first. I am aware of this fact, because I remember the reprimands and the castigations we endured at the hands of hon. gentlemen opposite-and at the hands of none more determinedly than the Prime Minister of this country-when we put on li and 2i per cent as sales tax. He declared in the debate of 1921 that instead of getting more from income tax, instead of taxing luxuries, we were piling a "visible" tariff on top of the "invisible" tariff we had then by putting a sales tax on the backs of the common people. He denounced us for doing so, because he said, the reason we had not reduced the tariff and had not as he said taxed luxuries, the reason we had taxed the common people by a sales tax, was that we were the tools and minions of wealthy corporations; that we were the servants of organized interrelated business, or, as he was fond of describing it, of an industrial plutocracy. How would he like to hear with its application on himself that same argument to-day? To-day instead of taxing luxuries more he taxes them less; instead of
taking the sales tax off he adds to it until it is twice the burden it was at that time. How would he like it if I urged against him now the allegation which filled almost every line of his speech in 1921? How would he feel if I told him that the reason he is doing what he is doing is because he is the meek and humble instrument of wealthy corporations, because he has not the courage to do right by the common people? How would he like that class of demagogism in parliament to-day?
Perhaps I should read a few words from what the Prime Minister said two years ago. He was first of all denouncing us for not revising the tariff. He said:
To say that the changes being made in the American tariff are responsible for the abortive professions, the frustrated intention, of the government, is to assume an unlimited degree of gullibility on the part of the Canadian people.
The fact that an American tariff, temporary but about to be made permanent or probably to be made permanent, was in actual course of progress through the American congress-to urge that fact, he said, as a reason
5 p.m. for referring revision was to assume gullibility on the part of the Canadian people. Here was what he declared to have been the real reason:
The failure of the government, at this time of high-living costs, and much needed increase of production, to give any relief from burdensome taxation to either consumers or producers, is not due to any circumstances so much a matter of chance as the present emergency legislation of the United States; it is due to a deliberate and determined effort to thwart trade and to restrict competition in every direction, with the Mother Country and our sister dominions even more than with the United States, in order that a few wealthy men and their immediate friends and associates may reap still larger fortunes through obtaining, not a much-needed home market, as they would have us believe, but a monopoly of the Canadian market.
And a few pages later he used this language :
Do you see also, Mr. Speaker, why it is, in the budget which has just been presented by the Finance Minister (Sir Henry Drayton)-that this year, as in former years no account whatever has been taken of profiteering; why another year has been allowed to pass without any effort whatever having been made by the government to recover any of the war-time wealth; why, instead of the removal of any of the taxation that bears immediately upon the masses of the people, the duties upon the necessaries of life, it is the business profits taxes and the luxury taxes that have been abolished?
And he goes on to say:
The protection for which we stand is the protection of the consumer against the exactions of combines, monopolies, and the super-organization of associated, business.
Such was the whole tenor of his speech in 1921. Because we had abolished certain taxes
The Budget-Mr. Meighen

on expensive goods by which we had sought to get-with some success, though not with the success we expected-considerable addition to our revenue, and from which we did get quite a substantial sum; because we had abolished the business profits tax, these were the opprobrious epithets he applied to us; these he said were the motives which animated us. Is he restoring now the business profits tax? Is he restoring the luxury taxes? No, he is doing nothing of the kind. The business profits tax was abolished with the approval, expressed in this House, of the leader of the Progressive party; abolished, indeed, with the approval of many hon. gentlemen opposite, but abolished, the Prime Minister told us, because we were the tools and minions of the rich and powerful. The special luxury taxes were abolished, but hon. gentlemen know that they were abolished because of difficulty of operation. The only sales tax we put on was a small tax of lj and 2|- per cent, later increased by us to 3 and 4 per cent, applicable to home productions and to imports respectively. This was the sales tax that we imposed on the consumers of goods in this Dominion. At the same time we collected from our income tax some $93,000,000.	We collected from
our income and business profits taxes in our last year $101,000,000. This year the Minister of Finance is collecting through the same taxes just $72,000,000. But he put in 1922 an added tax on the whole people-a new sales tax-to make up the difference; a tax that has brought him last year an increased revenue of over $31,000,000. In a word, the tax that we collected from income, the tax that we collected from profits, even in our last year, after the business profits tax had been abolished and only arrears thereon were taken in, amounted in the aggregate to about $30,000,000 more than hon. gentlemen opposite are collecting by those means to-day. But to make up the deficiency the Minister of Finance swooped down on everybody-on the common people of this country, and took $31,000,000 more in an increased sales tax. He collected last year 4i and 6 per cent and he is not satisfied with that; he comes along this year and lifts up the sales tax on Canadian goods, raising the rate upon them this time from to 6 per cent. This is an additional charge on all the goods covered by the sales tax, goods which comprise the clothing of the people, comprise what keeps the people warm-clothes, shelter, stoves and the like; which include hardware used by the people, and which include farm implements used on the land. All these things come under our sales tax, and the amount that has been added during these two years 
is more in every case than any customs levy the minister has taken off. To the sales tax as he proposes to collect it now a profit will be added by the manufacturer; to that another profit will be superadded by the wholesaler, and still another by the retailer. These profits taken together will make an addition to the cost of living in this country of not less than 10 per cent. Hon. gentlemen to my left frequently complain of the higher cost of living in Canada, the higher cost of articles which they have to purchase compared with prices across the line. But do you expect anything else when you have a 6 per cent sales tax at the source, on which two or three profits are bound to be levied? You have right there a 10 per cent addition to the cost of necessaries. In this fact we see the main reason why this government has brought about an enhancement of the cost of living during every month that it has been in effective power.


Mr. McMASTER:: Will the right hon. gentleman permit a question? Does not the customs duty pyramid in precisely the same fashion?


Arthur Meighen: Custom duties on commodities when imported by manufacturers, undoubtedly have these profits added. But that is not a reason why we should change the method of collecting a sales tax when it is' now being collected in a way which involves less burden upon the consumer. The fundamental reason why this change has been urged-and all hon. gentlemen have to do to see the truth of what I say is to read the literature of the organization which urged if-was to enable the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the jobber, the retailer, to pass on not part, but the whole of the tax to the consumer.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Will my right hon. friend, just in order to be fair to the House, give a list of the commodities that are exempt from the sales tax?


Arthur Meighen: I have the list here. The right hon. gentleman will find it on page 10-


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Will my right hon. friend read it? He has it there.


Arthur Meighen: It is a page and a
half long.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


Arthur Meighen: And every detail is mentioned, even to the medals of soldiers.


George Perry Graham: Even up to the medals of soldiers.

The Budget-Mr. Meighen


Arthur Meighen: I do not propose to make my speech as discussive and aimless as those of some hon. gentlemen opposite by answering the demands of the Prime Minister. But I will give the important items. They are the following: bread, flour, including selfraising flour, oatmeal, rolled oats, corn meal, rolled wheat, buckwheat, milk, condensed milk, buttermilk, cream, butter, cheese, and so on; oleomargarine, eggs, vegetable oils, bran, shorts, and the like. In the main these articles were all exempted before.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Arthur Meighen: Why the laughter from
hon. gentlemen opposite? Many of those hon. gentlemen were not in the House at the time these things were done and therefore possibly they do not know the facts. Primary products were always free from the sales tax. If hon. gentlemen opposite get any delight in appropriating to themselves the credit of exemptions established by the preceding government we, in the generosity of our hearts, should not deny them because they have not much source left to get any delight from now. Primary products such as food products, primary forest products, logs and the like were always free from the sales tax. Ah! Let us come again to these exemptions1. Hon. gentlemen opposite have added to them. Now, here is a chance to cheer. They come along this year and they put "newsprint" in the list.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: And raw wool.


Arthur Meighen: And raw wool, another
primary product. Is that in a class to be compared with newsprint? I venture to say that this government in exempting newsprint has probably lost to the treasury of Canada one million dollars a year. Why is this done? Does any hon. gentleman know why we should go to the big newspapers of *this country-many of which are very prosperous; the larger they are the more prosperous they are-and say to them "Oh we will take newsprint and we will relieve it of the sales tax" and then go to the farmers of this country and say "We have relieved the big newspapers of this tax but we will put a little more on your harrows, a little more on your lumber, a little more on your clothes, on everything you work with and wear." That is precisely the course hon. gentlemen opposite have taken. It may not be popular to say anything against the source of supply of a newspaper, but some things become a duty even though they are not popular; and I know of no reason on earth why newsprint should be put on the list of articles exempt from the sales tax and why working men should be
told "We have to tax the clothing of your children, the smock that you wear, the pail that you carry. These we burden with our sales tax; we tax also what you put on your feet, the things as well that shelter you and keep you warm; but we have to relieve the big newspapers of this country of a million dollars on newsprint." Such is the way this government comes to the rescue of the common people, those common people for whom its heart bled when its ministers were in opposition. Such is the way they show to this country that these masses, these poor people who were ground down by the old autocratic government are now cared for and tenderly helped.
Let me review what the present administration has done. This government set out, or pledged itself to set out to reduce the necessities of life, to relieve food stuffs, to relieve the instruments of production of all duties and to put more taxes on luxuries and on the rich. Tell me of one dollar it has put upon the rich. Not one dollar, not one farthing. But it has relieved the rich of duties upon luxuries. The only things that are substantially reduced-that are reduced so that the reduction will reach the consumer- are luxuries imported into this country under the French treaty. This government has reduced the duties on luxuries purchased by the rich and has added to the taxes on necessities consumed by the poor. Our ministers can say: "We have brought the duty down on embroideries but we have pushed up the sales tax on boots and shoes." True the Finance Minister has made a slight reduction in the duty on boots and shoes from Great Britain knowing as he does that only a fraction, and that a fraction of superior and expensive quality worn by the well-to-do comes from Great Britain. In the case of boots and shoes from the United States it left the duty as it was but the sales tax has been increased to 6 per cent. This government relaxed the duty on brandy, it reduced the duty on champagne; and then it now has recourse to the sales tax and requires all the people of this country to make good reductions brought into effect under the French treaty. These things our ministers have done for the users of luxuries; but they have added to taxation on the necessities of life in direct and brazen violation of the pledge they made to the people of this country. "Oh," they cried in 1921-no one so often as the Prime Minister-"the main issue in this country is the cost of living. The cost of living must come down and it cannot come down under a combination of industrial plutocracy and political autocracy which is in power at Ottawa. So let me come
The Budget-Mr. Meighen

into office, he pleaded, and I will do this thing." The cost of living curve was descending at the very time he uttered those sentences; it went on descending almost perpendicularly until he and his ministers came into power. It kept on descending until their sales tax and their other new taxes came into effect-at which time the cost of living started to rise again and has been rising ever since. The cost of living is rising now and more rapidly than in other countries. The government of the day is responsible for the ascending curve of the cost of living at this hour. "Oh," they said "more retrenchment and economy must be the order of the day. You cannot get that from a government with a war mind. The Meighen government has had the war mind, and it cannot retrench." Well, this new government is now in power and beyond what it is saving by aiding the soldiers and by what it denies to the provincial treasuries and municipalities of the country what does its economy amount to? It amounts to less than nothing. Hon. gentlemen opposite also said: "Put us in power and we will get by direct taxation what the Meighen government gets by an invisible tariff." Who does not remember the speeches of 1921? I am sure the member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) does not forget them. I am sure many other hon. gentlemen-some to my left-who were here then do not forget them: We were told that while Great Britain was collecting 80 per cent of her revenue by direct taxation and less than 20 per cent from customs, while the United States was doing the same thing, we were very far from such a millennium. Ah, yes, those words are in the Liberal platform, that whole recital is in the convention platform. It denounced the government of the day for collecting so little by direct taxation and so much by indirect taxation-what the Prime Minister called an invisible tariff. What is he doing now? The present government collected last year nearly fourteen millions more by the invisible tariff, by indirect taxation. They collected twenty-eight millions less by direct taxation than we did the year before. Whereas we collected according to the administration's own figures, up to the end of our last calendar year of government, for a period [DOT] of eight months, 32 per cent by direct taxation his government collected in the corresponding eight months of 1922 just 24 per cent. What he fails to collect by direct taxation, what he fails to get by the increased revenue from customs, he piles on the back of the people of this country in the way of added sales tax.

Such is the record of this administration. I think the time is surely coming if it is not here when the people of Canada shall know very clearly just what political shilly-shally has been palmed off upon them during the last two years. I do not intend to indulge in prophecy-it is not one of my gifts, I never venture to indulge-but speaking of the present government I am safe in saying that no administration ever slipped back so far in seventeen months of power as this government has done since December, 1921. Indications are not a few that the time has come when something strong, something sound, possibly something heroic in the way of large policy has to be undertaken in this Dominion. The West is struggling against intolerable conditions. The Atlantic provinces are struggling against conditions just as full of despair-of these truths there is no doubt. Where is the government in the crisis? What is the government's proposal? Without a question there must be something done to bring the Maritime provinces of our country nearer to the centre of confederation and to the advantages they have a right to enjoy. Something must be done to give renewed courage and confidence over our western plains. If it is not done, where are we drifting? Has any one the smallest hope that within the spirit and the capacity of this government there resides the ambition, the will, or the strength to resolve the situation that is upon us? I do not think the people of this country have such hope. There must be strong, there must be sound, well-digested, plans evolved and there must be brave, true, and perhaps heroic, measures taken; and the people of Canada will increasingly long for men in office who can devise and execute those things which meet the exigencies of the hour. I think they will demand that the situation which confronts us to-day shall be met in something of the spirit and by something of the resource out of which the many crises of a great war through four years were surmounted, and by which the tremendous obstacles of the after war period were overcome.


Hon. A. K. MACLEAN (Halifax):: I unexpectedly intervened in the debate this afternoon, and I am not sure that I can contribute anything new or fresh to it, or that I can interest the members of this House in my remarks. If it is not too late, I should like to join with hon. members who have already extended their kind congratulations to the hon. Finance Minister (Mr. Fielding) on

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
his very successful budget and also to join in their congratulations to him upon enjoying the distinction of having delivered in this country his seventeenth budget speech. Hon. members on this side of the House appreciate very much, indeed, I am sure,, the kind remarks of the hon. member for West York (Sir Henry Drayton) and the leader of the Progressive party (Mr. Forke) in reference to the Minister of Finance. The hon. Minister of Finance has given forty-five years to the service of this country, and that alone is a matter of distinction. In that long period of service he has sincerely endeavoured to serve his country and has always been a true public servant. I believe to-day that in this country people regard him as the guardian of the treasury of Canada, and they have faith in his integrity and ability to render public service.
The right hon. leader of the Opposition (Mr. Meighen) started off this afternoon by saying he was very much disappointed in the budget. He said it was not a budget at all. Well, it took him a very long time to say what he required to say about it. I do not know what the hon. member requires or what he would suggest as being the proper form of budget. I remember in the early days of my parliamentary experience it was the practice for the Minister of Finance to deliver a three or four hour address, and at the end of it the minister looked like a contestant passing the winning post in a long distance race. Fortunately for Canada and the House, and in the interest of the discharge of public business, these long speeches usually delivered in the past by finance ministers have been abandoned, and very properly so. What should a budget contain? Very few matters after all interest the public or should interest the public in a budget. They require to know the financial position of the country at the end of the last fiscal year. They would like to know, and should know, what revenue the Minister of Finance proposes to collect for the next ensuing financial year, and how he proposes to spend it, and whether he anticipates a deficit or a surplus. These are important matters which should be contained in the budget. The leader of the Opposition referred to the fact that some Lords Chancellor of the Exchequer in Great Britain had some time ago delivered very model addresses upon the financial affairs of the nation. I really do not know to what he refers, but I do know that in recent years, and upon many occasions the Chancellor of the Exchequer of England delivered his budget within half an hour. It may be that I misconstrued the
purpose of the remarks of the leader of the Opposition. Perhaps I did, but if he seriously endeavoured to criticize the budget speech as to its form, I think he was wrong, because I do submit that it contained all the essential facts which a budget statement should contain. I think probably the leader of the Opposition felt that the budget of the Minister of Finance was not open to very serious criticism. I think that from his standpoint that was the weakness of the budget. Somebody said many years ago that it was the function of an opposition to oppose, and, of course, it is hard to discharge that duty if a budget is such that it cannot well be criticized.
Now, Mr. Speaker, the budget speech was delivered by the minister some two weeks ago, and the country has had considerable opportunity of discussing it and expressing its views, and I do submit that it has been well received by the country and the Minister's political opponents outside of parliament. I think it is one that should receive the commendation of members of parlimaent, regardless of the side of the House on which they sit.
The budget statement disclosed facts which, of course, the country was very well acquainted with, namely: that our expenditures in this country are stupendous; that we must raise a very very substantial revenue by taxation and the re-statement of these facts in the budget only goes to show what a serious task confronts the government, parliament, and the people, of Canada. I do not think any Canadian could well be criticized for selfglorification of the manner in which this country, large in area but small in population, is able to carry the tremendous burden that rests upon it. I think it is a matter of which every Canadian might feel proud. We are carrying on a very expensive national establishment here, perhaps too expensive when we consider the extent of the country and the fact that the population numbers only eight or nine millions. It is a marvellous thing that so small a population is able to bear the burdens that rest upon them as taxpayers. We must, of course, in order to meet this gigantic burden, have faith n\ our country. Without that our task would be almost hopeless. We have however, to assist us in contemplating the future, the fact tnat we have the capacity to grow and expand.
If Canada were situated as Great Britain and some of the older European countries, where they find themselves fully developed and where it is impossible to increase in population, Canadians might well be discouraged. Our hearts must go out to the people of Great Britain and to the people of some con-
3002	COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
tinental European countries in their efforts to discharge the tremendous financial obligations to-day resting upon them by reason of the war. Our future in that respect is not at all dark. As I said before, this country is capable of expansion; it is capable of maintaining millions and millions of people who yet can be added to our population. The province of Alberta, concerning which we hear so much to-day, is alone capable of sustaining a population equal to that of the whole of Canada. The province of Ontario, again, is capable of sustaining a population double that which we find in Canada. So, when we have these possibilities in mind, the future should not seem so dark and hopeless as some Canadians would have us believe it to be to-day. Rather we should look to the future with courage, and with the abiding faith that in the early years yet to come, we shall have escaped from many of the oppressive burdens which we have to face to-day.
I should like to say a few words upon another subject which has been referred to time and time again during this session, so that I feel in doing so I should almost apologize to hon. gentlemen. We have heard a great deal concerning the fact-and it is a fact-that business conditions are depressed in this country. We have heard, time and time again, remarks regarding agriculture, particularly in the western provinces. Every Canadian who has come to years of understanding and who possesses powers of observation knows what are the agricultural conditions in the West just about as well as the man living in the West to-day. We have many ways by which we can acquire that knowledge. Those conditions have the sympathy of the people of the East; they would very much prefer that their fellow-countrymen in these new sections of the West were living under more favourable conditions and that trade was more favourable. Agricultural depression exists in the East just as much as it does in the West. Perhaps, in connection with agricultural pursuits in the East, this period of depression is not so effective by reason of the diversity of the farm productions of our eastern agriculturists. Those are regrettable conditions; but they are to be found in the East as well as in the West. We shall never solve this problem by accentuating conditions existing in the western section of the country without recognizing as well that they prevail in the extreme east, and without recognizing the fact, to which I shall refer later, that those conditions, after all. are world-wide conditions.
fMr. A. K. Maclean.J
I might refer to the fact that in the great fishing industry of the Maritime provinces, they have suffered very much by reason of the fact that they have been unable to secure a market for their fish production. No tariff legislation, no efforts of governments or parliaments could have assisted them. They found that, through one condition or another, they were unable to sell their products in the markets in South America, in the West Indies, in the Mediterranean ports-places beyond the power of the arm of this parliament to reach. The same is true to some extent of the lumber industry, and of the fruit industry. It is true in Canada of the manufacturing industry as well. I know many industries in this country to-day which are being operated at a loss which loss the management deliberately assume; but they prefer to carry on at a loss, or at least, without a profit, in order to maim tain their organization and in order that unemployment shall not be increased. There is not in this country to-day a human activity that is not in a depressed condition. Nobody glories in that fact; we all suffer from it. The same conditions prevail in almost every other country in the world, and my only purpose in referring to this is to impress upon hon. gentlemen this fact, that we live in troublous days; that we are suffering from the effects of the greatest war known to human history which disturbed the whole world; and that to attempt to solve our national, local and individual problems without fully recognizing these facts is altogether futile and almost a waste of time. After all, we who are here should be leaders in forming public opinion and in assisting our electorate to understand the causes of present-day conditions. At least we should deliberately avoid any misrepresentation or evasion in presenting the facts to the people lest we render ourselves unable to carry to them a sound understanding of the problem and render them unable to assist us, who represent them, in discharging our public duties.
We must face our problems in a national spirit and with courage, and we should avoid a discussion of these matters from a sectional or a provincial viewpoint. We should stress the national viewpoint. I know this is a difficult country to govern. The leader of the Opposition almost in his closing words, wanted to know what the government was going to do for the Maritime provinces, who feel themselves economically isolated from the rest of Canada. That is an economic fact, and I doubt if it ever can be changed. This, as I say, is a very difficult country to govern. But these

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
provinces were bound together deliberately for the purpose of building here a nation and welding the people who were here, and the people who were to come, into a prosperous and progressive nation. I do not know that any talk or suggestion about a violation of the confederation of the provinces, or any veiled intimation of a cessation from that political agreement, will help us to solve our problems, but this incessant accentuation of provincial and local problems, without due and proper recognition of the fact that they are also national, tends to the introduction of a restless political spirit which does not bode well for the future of this country. We have had in Canada in the last two or three years a new political doctrine which preaches the economic organization of groups.


An hon. MEMBER:: Hear, hear.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I do not know what it is called, but I hear some voice of approval of that idea, and it sounds like a voice crying in the wilderness. I do not suppose it will have any effect on the movement, but I want to say that I disapprove of it, and so I hope, will everyone in Canada, It is economically nonsensical; it is absolutely devoid of any advantage to the country; and it can only prove to be mischievous. I believe that a great deal of the trouble in one of the provinces of Canada is due to the fact that there is an element always preaching this fallacy of economic group organization. No man who believes in the doctrine of free trade, or a moderate tariff, or who understands the fundamental principles of economics can believe in this new economic doctrine. Nevertheless I find that this doctrine of economic group organization is being promulgated in parts of western Canada. I have in my hand the Grain Growers' Guide, a publication known to hon. gentlemen, and in this particular issue there appears a resolution passed at the Alberta Farmers' parliament, I think in January last. This is the resolution:
That we hereby reaffirm our adherence to the prin-r'-ole of economic group organisation and co-operation oetween economic groups and demand that our representatives stand firm in adherence to this principle, and that they oppose any steps looking to either amalgamation or affiliation with any political party, or to the forming of a new political party by any broadening out policy.
I do not deny the right of any aggregation of men to adopt that policy and promulgate it with all the energy they may see fit; but it is my right and the right of any other hon. gentleman if he desires, to express his disapproval of it. That is all I wish to say.
I am not saying that all	of the
Progressive party sitting directly opposite me favour that; I do not think that very many	of them do-at least, I
should hope not. I might read a very effective statement, if I had time, made by the hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) not very long ago in which he very strongly denounced the principle behind that movement, and I think that in doing so he rendered a great service to the country. I hope that his statement will be well considered by the people to whom he addressed his remarks. One effect of political doctrines of that kind, is the development of economic phantasies of such a character to-day as would, a few years ago pretty nearly send a man to some institution; and in the course of a few years, when matters have adjusted themselves, I am sure that those men who are promulgating these ideas at the present time will come to see the folly of it all.
I made a remark a moment ago to which I wish to return. I said that our conditions had not their origin in Canada, but in Europe, and I say that Europe must recover its economic processes before this country can do the same. If that fact were realized, many of the utterances which are made from time to time in this country would receive their proper weight. I am astounded at the many prominent Canadians who sometimes come out in the public press or in company meetings and speak in what they call the optimistic strain; they regard it as a bit of wisdom to be optimistic, as they say. Personally, I have no use for the words "optimism" and "pessimism;" I never use them if I can avoid them; I am not sure that they express anything worth expressing. I think it is better to try to recognize truth as being true and falsity as being false.


Mr. SPENCER:: Is the hon. member referring to the Liberal platform of 1919?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I am not referring to that at all, and I should like to know what put that thought in the hon. gentleman's head. It would interest me to know that.


Henry Elvins Spencer: The hon. member suggested it was well to know what was true and what was false. We have heard a great deal about the Liberal platform to-day and I thought he was referring to it.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: My hon. friend must have known that was not in my mind. I was trying to impress upon the House the fact that our commercial conditions in Canada had their origin in Europe.
3004	COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)


Mr. IRVINE:: And in Russia and Germany?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Yes; conditions in Russia have left a tremendous influence on all the countries of the world. Now, my hon. friends opposite are very much interested in wheat and the prices of wheat. That is the large and important production in the western provinces, and naturally they are interested in receiving a fair price that will afford them a substantial profit over cost of production. And we are all interested in that matter too. We are told that the production of wheat in the last year or two has not been profitable, and that fact we all regret. If there were any means by which we in parliament could correct that position and turn it into one that was favourable, we would do so. Under ordinary circumstances wheat ought to carry a very high price in the European markets to-day. Judged by the price of other commodities, it should be somewhere between $1 and $2 a bushel, perhaps more. But what produces the present condition? Europe desires wheat -Canadian wheat-but she is not in a position to pay for it. France and Italy are back to war-time milling regulations; in some countries the law requires that potato flour be mixed with grain flour; while in other countries the use of grain is prohibited for the making of beer. These facts are well-known to hon. gentlemen, and my only reason for referring to them is that Europe's economic condition is such that she cannot buy her normal requirements of grain, and this immediately reacts upon the wheat producer in Canada-he does not obtain the price which the world's market would fairly secure for him under ordinary conditions. Let me repeat, my only purpose in referring to this is to accentuate the fact, I have stated, and I think it is worthy of repetition, because men should not forget that our adverse economic condition is due to the economic condition of Europe to-day; and for that very reason we must be interested in international affairs.
Now, Mr Speaker, it is nearly six o'clock, and before I venture to approach another subject I wonder if it would be agreeable to hon. members to call it six o'clock.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Carried.
At six o'clock the House took recess.
After Recess
The House resumed at eight o'clock.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Mr. Speaker, resuming my remarks of this afternoon I 
wish to allude very briefly to a matter which has been referred to frequently during this debate and, in fact, very frequently during the session. I have reference to the matter of the emigration from Canada to the United States, which has been going on in very substantial numbers during the past year or more. The fact itself is not in controversy, because it is well known that many Canadians, during the past year or year and a half, have gone to the United States. The statement, however, I thought frequently carried the implication of government responsibility, and that something should have been done, or might have been done, by this country which would have avoided that emigration. Now, Mr. Speaker, of course, the fact is very regrettable indeed, but I know of nothing which the government of the country at the moment can do to prevent it. The conditions of the United States are most peculiar, or have been during the past year or more, particularly if one has in mind the conditions prevailing in the other nations of the world. The United States has a very large population, large and well-established industries, and her natural growth is very considerable. The labour market was supplied very largely from year to year from European countries. That, however, has been prevented in recent years by their immigration laws. The result was that there was a shortage of labour, accompanied by an inflation in wages and an inflation in some lines of production and materials, particularly building materials. That brought about a .condition of prosperity in the United States, and Canadians very naturally ask one another in these days how it is that in a country not very dissimilar to ours, lying side by side, we should find in the one an apparent prosperity, and in the other a depression in trade. While it is regrettable that so many Canadians are obliged to leave their country, I am not so sure but that the judgment of Canada in the course of a year or a little more will be that it was better that we should pass through the conditions we are now passing through than to have the inflation which the United States now has, and which in the course of a few months must collapse and be accompanied with the inevitable depression and dislocation of trade. Everybody who understands or cares to observe the conditions in the United States knows that that apparent prosperity is due to an increase in the building trade. It is also well known, and remarked by everybody in the United States who knows anything about the matter, that prices of building material and wages have recently reached such a stage that they can

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
proceed no further, and from day to day we notice in the press evidence of threatened strikes, and we may soon expect strikes in the building trade which will react upon this country and must end the inflation in the United States. It will not be an undesirable thing for the United States if that should happen. The reaction will affect us adversely, I admit, but looking to the future, taking a long view of things as we should in these days, it is perhaps better it should come, because the sooner will we and the United States and the other countries of the world reach something approaching normal conditions. Until that period arrives, whatever men may propose, deplorable conditions will prevail throughout the world. Therefore, I wish to say upon this point that I deny any government responsibility in this matter, and I doubt whether there is anything that we in this country could do to prevent that particular condition of affairs.
The leader of the Opposition referred this afternoon to the matter of expenditure and the balancing of our budget. I concede that this is, perhaps, the most important question in Canadian politics to-day, and of infinitely more importance perhaps than tariff or any other question which anybody might suggest. It is a question upon which we should not divide on party lines. It is a matter which affects every man in this country, the rich and the poor, the high and the humble, the weak and the strong. We, as representatives of the people, charged with certain responsibilities to whom the people of the country naturally look for some leadership, should give to the government of the day, whatever that government be, our best judgment in connection with the matter of public expenditure. I am not so apprehensive as to what should be the judgment of the government upon the question of expenditure. I am more concerned with the views of members of parliament and of the people we represent. If the government were led by the right hon. member who leads the Opposition, or if the Progressive party were on the ministerial benches, I would say of them, as I now say of the government, that I would have the greatest confidence in their desire to restrict unprofitable and unproductive public expenditure. I would also concede to them the sincere desire to balance our budget. But, as I said, I am not alarmed about the government not desiring to practise such a policy. I am more alarmed as to whether the public view is right and whether the view of members of parliament is quite proper in that respect. Some time ago we
had a discussion in this House upon the question of the Hudson Bay railway. I had intended to take part in that, but for one reason and another I did not. The views expressed by the House, or by a great number of the members, left upon me the impression and conviction that we were not properly seized of the great importance of being right upon the matter of public expenditure. There is no political or party issue in this question. The Liberal party and the Conservative party were committed years ago to this expenditure. But it does not follow that either party is bound by this promise made in the past. It is true that gentlemen directly opposite me and their supporters in their respective sections of the country were always strongly in favour of this railway project, but it does not follow that to-day they should support it.
During the debate many speeches were made, some of them occupying fully an hour, trying to demonstrate that ships could navigate the Hudson bay and the Hudson strait, just as if it were a major factor in the case. In an argument, or discussion, or controversy of that kind, any person might well admit that a ship could navigate the Hudson bay and the Hudson strait. It has been done, but that, after all, is not important. The real question is, is the Hudson bay a commercial route? Can ships be put on that route and operate profitably? Can they carry grain through by that route at a price lower than the prices which are available to-day by the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence route, or by the rail and water routes? These are questions that should be settled before anybody in this country should commit himself to-day to any further expenditure in this connection other than outlined by the Acting Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham) when the matter was up for discussion.
I wish to tender this bit of advice to the government, that before this country seriously entertains the idea of completing that project, a commission be appointed to inquire into what are really important and salient facts, but which have never yet, so far as I know, been inquired into at all. As I said before,-the question of navigability of the Hudson bay is not a very important factor. Of course, there must be water there; conditions must be such as to permit of a ship leaving the Hudson bay port and proceeding thence to Europe. I will concede that now as being possible; but I would not concede it to be a commercially feasible route or one worth spending any more of the public money upon,
3000	COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)__
unless it is demonstrated in a more ample way than it has been up to the present moment that it is a sound, commercial, transportation route.


Mr. BIRD:: Does the hon. member not think that, in the case of a port that is one thousand miles nearer to Liverpool than Montreal, the onus of proving the commercial feasibility lies upon himself?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I should not think so, to be fair to my hon. friend. I should say that, prima facie, every man who wishes to reflect upon the question at all, would conclude that the other route was the cheaper of the two, because there must be, in the first place, a large capital investment to provide shipping, and this must be done by the government because no private company will ever go into this enterprise. Everything indicates, on the surface at least, that you could not carry freight as cheaply by that route as by existing routes. I may be wrong; I merely say that it is sound to suggest that before the project is proceeded with further, there should be a closer examination of all the facts relative thereto.


Mr. CAMPBELL:: Would the hon. member extend that suggestion to the Welland canal?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: The Welland canal is in a somewhat different position, as I am sure my hon. friend will concede. I am not going to engage in an extended discussion with regard to that. There are in the western provinces instances where railway projects might very well be carried out, which would be in the interests of the country. I have heard the story of the need of railways in the Peace river country from some gentlemen who were in Ottawa recently, and I was very much impressed. When I heard the story, I could not but inquire of myself why it was that in this House amongst 235 members, there could be found men who could justify the expenditure of $25,000,000 on the Hudson Bay railway, and, perhaps, hesitate to urge an expenditure to construct in the western provinces some short pieces of railway which would do very much for those * particular localities and for the interest of the country generally.
Talking about expenditure, I should like to make to the Minister of Finance a suggestion wherein he might save some money, and I am sure if he would carry out my suggestion, he will find that it is a sound one. According to the evidence before the House, it would appear that the operations of the CanafMr. A. K. Maclean.]
dian Government Merchant Marine last year netted a deficit of six, seven or eight million dollars.


William Duff: Nine million dollars.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Nine million dollars. That is a very substantial sum of money. I am opposed to the continued operation of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine. In the first place, it is costing us nine million dollars a year, and the people of this country have to be taxed that much to meet that deficit. It renders no service to Canada, for the reason that ships could be found elsewhere, owned by private persons and companies, wdiich would perform the services just as well and as cheaply as the Canadian Government Merchant Marine is doing. I am not criticizing the policy of the government that inaugurated the programme of the construction of ships; in fact, I was a member of that government, and in that respect I am not in a different position from that of anybody who was in parliament at that time. Everyone who was in parliament at that time supported that policy.


An hon. MEMBER:: At the beginning.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: At the beginning, it was deemed sound national policy. Almost every country in the world embarked upon a similar policy. I do not intend, however, to engage in any lengthy argument upon the merits or demerits of that scheme. I wish merely to point out to the Minister of Finance a method by which he may save eight or nine million dollars a year and do no injury to any public service or public interest.
The leader of the Opposition this afternoon criticized adversely the fact that the Minister of Finance predicted a deficit in the financial operations of the government for the present fiscal year. The Minister of Finance anticipates quite a substantial surplus of revenue over all oi dinary, capital and special expenditures; but he anticipates again that the railway deficits will more than consume that surplus. The leader of the Opposition says that this country should be taxed to meet that deficit caused by the railway operations, so that the budget would balance. I admit there is something in that. The Minister of Finance was very frank about the matter when delivering his budget. All reflecting people will acknowledge the desirability of balancing budgets. That is one of the troubles of Europe to-day: Their expenditures are greater than their revenues, and they meet the situation by printing paper

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
money, ruining themselves, ruining other countries, impeding the restoration of trade processes as between countries and countries. I think our record in Canada up to date in this respect has been a very creditable one; in this respect, as in most other respects, Canadians have held their heads well during the trying period from the armistice down to the present day. We have done nothing in this country to impede the restoration of trade channels between this country and all other countries. In this respect we are quite unique; we are almost the only country in the world that has not enacted legislation specifically designed to impede trading between countries.
No other country is in quite the same position as we are in respect of our transportation system, and it is a serious matter to tax the people of Canada these days for railway deficits. This might be a good way of informing the Canadian people in a few, short years whether government ownership and operation is a good thing or not. It is, however, the judgment of the country that the government-owned system should be given a fair trial. I would look upon the advances made to the road as a loan, or advance, and not, strictly speaking, as a part of our budget ordinary. That view may be open to some criticism. I hope the day is not very far off when this country will commence to grow and its business expand, when our population will be such that our debt will be practically cut in two, while the railway business will have grown to such an extent as not only to pay its operating expenses but to repay to the government some of the advances that have been made to it, or it will be able to finance itself by the sale of bonds and through the proceeds of such bonds restore those advances to the government. Therefore, I am not inclined to agree with the criticism of the leader of the Opposition (Mr. Meighen) that the railway advances must necessarily, at the present time at least, be met by taxation. It is quite true that policy could not long be continued; neither can we long continue owning and operating a government system if it entails such a huge deficit as we have had during the past few years, because we should soon reach the limit of our capacity for taxation for that or any other purpose, and some other solution would then have to be discovered.
The leader of the Opposition this afternoon inveighed strongly against the government on its tariff policy and its failure to live up to the party platform drawn up in 1919. This matter was discussed very thoroughly at the
last session and I do not know that I can add anything to what has already been said, either by myself or by any other hon. member. I think that altogether too much importance is attached to it. Many good and distinguished men in the past have reversed their positions in respect of public policy, and in that reversal have received the applause of the country which they were serving. Hon. gentlemen will remember that Sir Robert Peel, an eminent British statesman, at a certain period in British history was opposed to the repeal of the Corn Laws.


Mr. FORKE:: Does the hon. member admit that the government has reversed its policy?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: No, I had not reached that point.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I do not see any necessity for this laughter and I hope there is more behind it than appears to me at the moment. No; I did not say that the government had reversed its policy, but I did observe that very frequently eminent gifted public men have reversed almost in a moment their position on certain public questions and have not been maligned for so doing. In their lifetime perhaps they were charged with inconsistency and with having abandoned their position for purely political gain, and it required the passage of days, perhaps years, to have justice accorded them. I mention this merely to suggest in very general terms that the public should not require an inflexible stand by public men on any question. Surely there should be some room for variation in their opinions on such questions if the changes, the conditions and the circumstances of the times justify or warrant it. That was the point I wished to make, and I am sure that hon. gentlemen opposite, who were laughing a few moments ago, will not disagree with it.
Now, Sir, I was not at the Liberal Convention of 1919.


Sir HENRY DRAYTON:: You were in different company then.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I was in England at the time and if I had been in Canada I should hardly have been a welcome guest at that convention.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Yes, you would.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: Therefore perhaps I can speak with a little more freedom in this regard than can some of the hon members who were present at the convention.

3008	COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
The tariff policy enunciated at that convention is not before me at the moment, but in general terms it declared in favour of an increase in the British preference and for substantial reductions on specified articles. I do not hesitate to say that it is unwise for any party convention to write a tariff schedule. It is not their business and they cannot do it; and I should say very frankly and emphatically of the Liberals who were gathered together at that time-I know them, and I do not want to say anything that is not inspired by kindness so far as they are concerned-that they could not possibly have been in a position to write a tariff schedule then. It was their duty to declare themselves upon matters of policy and nothing else. I say the same thing, too, about the policy, the platform, of hon. gentlemen opposite; they were equally foolish. If those hon. gentlemen came into office to-morrow they could not carry out their programme; and if I were to lead them through that door yonder, one by one, I am sure they would agree with me in that statement. I should hardly expect them to do so collectively before the piiblic, however. I have not the slightest doubt that in regard to their policy pretty nearly every hon. gentleman opposite me disagrees emphatically with one or more of the planks of their platform; I have too high an opinion of them individually and collectively to believe otherwise. At the same time I am not criticizing the main principle running through their platform, and I repeat that political parties are perfectly within their rights and are only performing their duty by the public in a proper manner when they declare themselves on certain principles in relation to public policy. But they have no right to deal with details, and if they do so they are bound to find themselves in serious trouble later on.
I might say more about hon. gentlemen of the opposition. There is not much use in their declaring before the public that they have been always consistent either as regards their general programme or in respect of its details. Take the tariff declarations of the Liberal-Conservative party, called the National Liberal and Conservative party; you could put anything into it or take anything out of it, and probably it was designed to facilitate operations of that kind. At the same time, however, it is only fair to say that the Conservative party have been consistently strong protectionists. Now, is it not easy to discern a distinction between the tariff policy of the Liberal party, say, and that of the Conservative party in Canada?
fMr. A. K. Maclean.]


Some hon. MEMBERS:: No.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I know that my hon. friends who say, "no", do not mean it, but they cannot provoke me away from my argument by such an interruption. The Conservative party have been consistently protectionists, except for slight variations and departures at certain times when it appeared politically advantageous to them to make a detour. They use very old-fashioned arguments in support of protection and if I were supporting a tariff policy I would find a better ground on which to advocate it. Last evening an hon. gentleman in the Conservative ranks spoke somewhat in this way: "If we buy goods in a foreign country we send our money away to help build up that country." Well, that is the idea of an antediluvian; I could make a better protectionist speech myself, or at least I could give more convincing arguments in favour of protection. That is absurd, because we do not send money away. If we send goods away we have to get goods back; the imports and exports must in the main balance. We must have trade; and a lot of this loose thinking is perhaps due to the fact that it is not countries who buy and sell; it is only people who do so. Why, the leader of the Opposition during the general election in 1921 had prominently exposed upon his political literature a statement attributed to Abraham Lincoln, that if you buy from abroad you have the goods, but you have lost your money; but if you buy at home you have your goods and you have your money too. As a matter of fact, Lincoln never said so, because he was always too wise and too well informed upon economics. I only refer to this to show that the Conservative party are- I was going to say poor thinkers. But they are pronounced protectionists now, and if their statements are to be believed they expect to remain so, because they do not think it is wise for us to trade with the people of other countries, or perhaps, speaking more accurately, they do not believe in the people of Canada doing business with anybody else; for that is what it gets down to.
What is the position of the Liberal party? It may be quite true to say that while Liberal ministries have been in power we have had an element of protection in our tariff. Hon. gentlemen opposite say if they came into office there would still be an element of protection in the tariff. They have said that time and again. It is in their platform. Even in their amendment to the budget they recognize the probability of that element being continued; but they say protection

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
should not be granted unless the applicant comes before a parliamentary committee and makes good his request for protection. That is simply the tariff board idea. They have it in the United States, and it is, I think, a pretty good way of perpetuating protection. I would hardly agree to it myself. At the same time, I think I am well within the mark when I say that Liberal governments have from time to time reduced the tariff, that they have always expressed the view that the principle of protection is wrong and that it should be the aim and purpose of the people of every country to some day reach a free trade basis. It is a mental outlook if it is nothing else.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Mr MACLEAN (Halifax):: A man may believe in the efficacy and soundness of free trade or low tariffs and yet find it impossible of accomplishment by reason of the past economic policy of his country, or by reason of conditions of one kind and another which are beyond his control. There is no occasion for my hon. friend opposite to laugh. I am not propounding any new philosophy; they themselves believe in it. For instance, during the past few weeks I was surprised to find so many hon. gentlemen among the Progressive group urging that we should carry coal from Alberta to Ontario. I have not much faith in the proposal myself, although I think it is well that it should be studied so that in the event of a recurrence of conditions such as prevailed last year in relation to our coal supply the government would be ready to meet the situation. The average member from Alberta to-day, I suppose, would support the policy of taking coal from Alberta to Ontario, but at the same time he and his colleagues know it can only be done by adding to the railway deficit and taxing the people.


Robert Forke: The hon. gentleman makes the statement that members from Alberta know coal could not foe transported to Ontario without adding to the railway deficit. How do they know? The question is open for discussion. The hon. gentleman is assuming that members in this quarter of the House are willing to grant a bonus to the railways for the carriage of such coal; but he has no information to that effect.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I would think that pretty nearly every hon. gentleman opposite knows-


Robert Forke: You do not know what they know.
191 i


Mr MACLEAN (Halifax):: I hope my hon. friend will not take offence at my remarks, they are not intended to offend him. I am ascribing to him a measure of intelligence which I hope he will not refuse to acknowledge. I want to say it must be common knowledge that it is not possible to carry coal from .Alberta to Ontario except at a rate which would be unprofitable to the railways, and that this loss would have to be made up in some way or another by the people of Canada generally. I regret that such is the fact. I am not criticizing my hon. friends opposite I am only attempting to show that they are only human and think much like the rest of us do.


Mr. WARNER:: Have you read diligently the evidence given before the coal committee?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I have not read it diligently, I have not read it at all, and 1 do not expect ever to do so; but I have read some of it and have discussed the matter wuh men who hold very practical views in regard to it, and their views were of much greater assistance to me than would be a perusal cf all the evidence.


Daniel Webster Warner: Do you think it would be a good idea to withhold criticism until after the conference at Winnipeg and until the committee have made a report?


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: I think after that conference and everything else is closed my hon. friend will agree with me that I am a pretty accurate prophet in respect to this particular matter.
Now, taking the record of the Liberal party and going back to the year 1896, I submit to this House and particularly to hon. gentlemen opposite me, that it supports the view I was expressing a few moments ago, namely, that very important reductions of the tariff generally have been made while the Liberal party were in office. In 1897 the preferential tariff was brought into effect. That
9 p.m. was a tremendous change in the tariff policy of the country. The opponents of the Liberal party of that day said this preferential tariff would have a disastrous effect upon our industries. This important and substantial reduction would never have originated from the Conservative party. It still continues, and I think it should be regarded as evidence of the desire of those who believe in the greatest possible freedom of trade to bring it about as time, conditions and circumstances permit. Then came 1911 when the Liberal party of that day committed themselves to a policy of a
3010	COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
trade treaty with the United States. Surely that was evidence of a desire on the part of the leaders and parliamentary supporters of the Liberal party to encourage the greatest freedom of trade possible between Canada and the United States. Some hon. gentlemen sitting directly opposite me opposed that move on the part of the Liberal party. I understand that the new member who came to us recently from Moose Jaw (Mr. Hopkins) -who spoke last night and whom we were all glad to hear-was one of those who in 1911 opposed the trade agreement with the United States.


Mr. HOEY:: That is one of the inaccurate statements that were widely spread over the constituency during the recent campaign. I want to say, on the personal authority of the hon. member, that he did not vote against reciprocity.


Alexander Kenneth Maclean: 
Andrew Ross McMaster: Mr. Speaker, before I enter upon the remarks which I have prepared to address to this House this evening there are some matters which have cropped up during the debate to which I would like to devote a very short period of time.
I am sorry the right hon. leader of the Opposition (Mr. Meighen) is not in his place, because I propose to direct a few observations in his direction. He has always treated me, since I have been a member of this House, with distinguished courtesy, and I would desire to return courtesy with courtesy; and the criticism I offer to a few of the remarks he made this afternoon is criticism directed in that temper. But I was sorry for something the right hon. gentleman dropped this afternoon. It was his remark concerning the highly esteemed and regarded member for Queen's (Mr. Sinclair), the minister without portfolio. It is true that that

hon. gentleman's voice is not often heard in the debates in this chamber, but those who have sat by him day after day in the no less exacting and, perhaps, important work of committees know how sound is his intelligence, how wise his discretion, how limitless his industry.


Henry Lumley Drayton: In the absence of the leader of the Opposition I think I should say that my hon. friend is entirely
mistaken.


William Duff: Oh no, he is not. We all heard him this afternoon.


Henry Lumley Drayton: Perhaps the hon. member for Lunenburg (Mr. Duff) will reserve his comment until I have concluded my explanation. He is entirely mistaken. What the leader of the Opposition was referring to was the imputed position in which the free trade members of the government, those gentlemen that believe in a low tariff, found themselves-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, no.


Henry Lumley Drayton: -and he said he was even content to include the member for Lunenburg in that description.


Andrew Ross McMaster: The Budget-Mr. McMaster
ther I expect quite such prompt action on the part of the people of this country. I do not know whether the need for freedom is quite as great as it was in the Great Britain of that time when people, through protection, were reduced to starvation. But I do say that I believe the people of this country are not going to be satisfied with a mere attitude of mind concerning the trade question, but that action and reasonably prompt action will be required. That leads me to what I have to say in this matter.
I purpose, Mr. Speaker, to vote for the amendment moved by the hon. member for Brandon (Mr. Forke), and I purpose to vote against the budget. When I next resume a seat in this House I purpose to sit where is the nearest approach that we have to the cross benches. My observations to-night will be directed not to an apology for, but in justification of, the action which I purpose to follow. I crave your indulgence, Mr. Speaker, in advance for the use which I shall be obliged to make of the first personal pronoun. Perhaps as I am dealing with my own conduct, that may be an excuse.
First of all, I wish to say that I am a Liberal and was never more a Liberal than I am to-night. I believe in the necessity of Liberalism. I believe the ills of this world can be healed, and healed only by the application of Liberal principles, but I want to see those Liberal principles applied with courage and with promptness. Just as we may find religion summed up in a few words, so we shall find the essence of Liberalism in those watchwords of the past, the watchwords of the Whigs of days gone by, the watchwords of the Liberals of days gone by-"Peace, Retrenchment and Reform," "Free Trade, Peace, Goodwill amongst the Nations," "Trust in the people, qualified by prudence; in opposition to distrust of the people, mingled with fear." We find the necessity for the application of what Mr. Lloyd George has recently characterized as a good definition of Liberalism: "Fair play for the under dog." That is what we need in this country. I have no apologies to make in this House or elsewhere for my conduct as a Liberal and a Liberal party man.
As a schoolboy, I became possessed of the illogical absurdities of the protectionist principle and protectionist practice, and I joined myself to the party which at that time stood ler lower tariffs, which had denounced in eloquent terms the very principle of protection and which had said that protection was legalized robbery, I do not use the language of extremeness at this time, but that was the lan-
guage used at that time by Liberal statesmen. As a college youth, I took an active part in the election of 1896 in the county which I now have the honour to represent in this House. As a result of the efforts of the Liberals in that county, there was returned to this House, after an absence of some five years, that good, sound public servant, the late Hon. Sydney Fisher. I rejoiced when the Minister of Finance made the cuts that he did in his Tariff Act of 1897. I supported his British preference and his various extensions thereof. I hoped, as all other Liberals in the country hoped, for the success of the reciprocity negotiations that went on in 1897, and I was sorry and disappointed when they failed.


William Duff: In 1911.


Andrew Ross McMaster: No, in 1897 there was a commission which sat at Washington with Lord Herschell as its chairman, which endeavoured to get reciprocal relations with the United States. That failed at that time through no fault of the Liberal government. I frankly admit that I was never perfectly satisfied with the advances which were made after about 1900, when the British preference came into its full effect. After that we madu little, if any, advance in the low tariff direction. I admit frankly that the government was always face to face with the pressure from the vested interests of this country who, in the elections of 1900, 1904, 1908, were clamouring for what they were pleased to call adequate protection. The party, I suppose, is entitled to some credit for not having given way to that, though some way was given, and the schedule on some textiles was raised in 1904 or 1907, I forget just which.
When the reciprocity campaign of 1911 took place, I practically closed my law office m Montreal and threw myself into the fight with every atom of enthusiasm and power which I possessed. I believed that we were making a great forward step for Canada in that reciprocity election. I do not know just how much credit must be given to those who beat us in that election by their opposition to reciprocity. Other matters came in; sectarian cries were raised; racial cries were raised, and in the province of Quebec anti-imperial cries were raised. As a result, we lost the election. But in my humble opinion, one of the reasons why we lost that election was because, from about 1900 to 1911, we failed to preach our Liberal doctrine on trade matters. Prior to 1896, every election in Canada was a course in political economy conducted by such men as Cartwright, Mulock, Fisher, and Liberals of the old school. When we got

The Budget-Mr. McMaster
into power, the government was busy with other matters; the country was developing at a great rate; railway questions employed the energy and the mind of the government to a large extent; but we failed to preach our gospel, and the Nemesis which overtakes any church, or any body of men, or any political party that fails to preach its gospel, overtook us. There had come to the polls, there had reached maturity, thousands, if not tens ol thousands and hundreds of thousands of young men who, when 1911 came, had never heard the trade question discussed, who did not know the difference between the principle of protection and the principle of free trade, who never understood that trade in itself was a good thing, and who, therefore, were ready victims to the flag-flapping campaign that went on and the appeal to anti-American sentiment which, unfortunately, was raised by many Conservatives of that day with the slogan of "No truck or trade with the Yankees."
After that happened, I came into close personal touch with the leaders of the Liberal party of that day, especially with the Hon. Sydney Fisher and with that great Liberal statesman, the revered and deeply beloved chief of the Liberal party, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. I remember in May, 1912, he came to Montreal to a great meeting. We had been beaten a few months previously, in September 1911. On that occasion there were not found wanting protectionist Liberals of Montreal who begged the old chieftain to forget all about reciprocity and to put it among the disused things back upon the shelf and say nothing about it. And what was his reply to their entreaty? I remember, as if it were yesternight, there stood the white plumed knight who said that reciprocity was a good thing, that the people of Canada had made a grave mistake in rejecting it and that they would some time wake up to the conclusion that they had erred; and then with a gesture he said: "My orders not to win or lose; my orders are to fight." It was imbued with that spirit that I went on doing all that I could for Liberal principles and the Liberal party, believing that the Liberal party was an instrument for the putting into action of those principles; and it was not very long until my principles, and my adhesion to my chief and to the Liberal party, were put to a very severe test in the election of 1917. Now, I have no criticism to offer of those men whose mind and conscience led them to leave Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the conscription issue. My mind and conscience led me to a different conclusion, and while some left him, I was among those who stood fast by
the old chieftain; and when the storms, nay, the tornadoes of sectarian hatred and racial antagonism descended upon the head of him who had always stood for broad toleration and a deep and pure Canadianism,-descended upon him because he was French-speaking and a Roman Catholic,-I considered that only an additional reason why I, an English-speaking man and a Protestant, should stand firm by his side.
Why do I vote against this budget? I vote against it because I believe after a careful consideration that it is not a Liberal budget. It is a protectionist budget with a strong Maritime province flavour.


William Duff: Not strong enough for me.


Andrew Ross McMaster: When I say "Maritime flavour" I mean that it proposes the unwise provision that goods which in the natural course of events would come by sea-carriage, which is much cheaper than land-carriage, to Portland, Maine, and thence over our own railway to Montreal, a distance of less than 300 miles, shall be discharged at Halifax and come by land carriage, a much more expensive way of transportation, over 841 miles. That is what I refer to. If it were the mentality of the Nova Scotians that I was thinking of, then gladly would I say that it was not only tinctured but saturated with a Maritime flavour. I am just wondering whether this is a party budget at all; I am wondering whether it is a budget brought forward by a party. What is a party? A party is a group of men who have decided to advance the public interest along certain lines which they hold in common. I have studied the budget carefully but for the life of me I cannot see the common principle that animates it. I never was a good man at physics, but if I remember one principle of physics it is that any body of matter, operated on by equal powers of attraction in diametrically opposite directions, just about stays where it is. And that is true of this budget. Let us examine it. Before I deal with the budget, however, permit me to speak for a moment concerning the resolution, which I am going to vote for, and in respect of which I shall make some remarks of a somewhat critical nature. The senior member for Halifax (Mr. Maclean), with the legal acumen which is the distinguishing characteristic of the profession he adorns, has already pointed out a clause which I had noticed as one liable to give considerable embarrassment in the future. After saying that while recognizing that changes in fiscal policy should be made in such a way as

The Budget-Mr. McMaster
to give industries affected a reasonable opportunity for readjustment, it goes on to say:
This House is of the opinion that the principle of protection as a basis for fiscal policy in Canada is unsound, and that every claim for protection should be heard publicly before a special committee of parliament.
I do not like that. There is an undesirable inference to be drawn from it which I do not think was in the minds of those who drafted the resolution; I am sure it was not. If a protectionist manufacturer were represented by a lawyer as able as the senior member for Halifax, then that inference is undoubtedly the one that he would draw from that clause of the resolution. I wish it to be distinctly understood that when voting for the resolution I do not bind myself to give any consideration to claims for protection. I think we have got far too much protection, and I want to get rid of protection, not add to it, no matter how many public inquiries are held.
I am not at all sure that it was wise to have drafted the clause in the way in which it is drafted in which reference is made to reciprocity in trade with the United States as outlined in the proposed Reciprocity agreement of 1911. I am quite in favour of reciprocity, and I would have the Reciprocity agreement of 1911 if we could not get a better one. But that clause of the resolution looks as though it merely depended upon us whether reciprocity would go into effect or not. I think it would have been better to say that every effort should be made to obta'n such a reciprocity agreement.
I do not know that all the methods for raising the revenue, if such a resolution as this were adopted, have been explored. I think we should carefully consider the possibilities of a tax on unearned increment of land. We should carefully consider whether there should not be a federal succession duty tax on very large estates. These however are questions of detail, and the principle of the resolution is one which I can enthusiastically approve. It denounces protection and gives a reasonable opportunity for readjustment; it looks to what I believe is the only way in this country in which we can get out of our political and economic difficulties. We have been trying for fifty years to make ourselves wealthy by restriction; it is about time that we changed the plan and freed the energies of the people in order that they might be enabled to secure that wealth which the natural resources of the country, and their own enterprise and intelligence, should place within their grasp. As regards the proposals for reciprocity, I approve of them, but I do not 
know that they are necessary. Section 8B of the minister's resolutions provides:
The Governor in Council may authorize any minister of the Crown to enter into negotiations with any authorized representative of the government of the United States .with a view to the making of a commercial agreement between the two countries on terms that may be deemed mutually beneficial. Any agreement so made shall be subject to the approval of the parliament of Canada.
I have just one or two observations to make upon this resolution. I am in hearty sympathy with the idea, but I wonder whether it is necessary to have it declared that it is within the power of the Governor in Council to authorize any minister to negotiate a reciprocity arrangement or treaty. Surely it is always within the powers of the government to delegate one of its members for such a purpose. I note that this arrangement would be subject to the approval of the parliament of Canada. I would like to say this: If the protectionist mind continues to be developed as is likely by the present budget, what is there to prevent a repetition of what happened in 1911, when we got the Reciprocity agreement from the United States and found that the Canadian people had forgotten what was good for them and voted it down?
It is quite true that we have had offers of this sort before. If I mistake not, Macdonald put an offer of this sort upon the statute books of Canada, and it remained there until it was withdrawn in about 1898. Then, strange to say, the Americans in 1911 passed legisiation, which remained in force for about ten years, in fact until a few months ago, in which they made an offer to us. Unfortunately the wills of the parties never met, as we lawyers say. What was required was a national broker to bring the parties together. And what we require in Washington to-day is an ambassador to represent Canadian interests there all the time, to drop the word in due season as to the advisability of close commercial relationship between the two great nations which occupy such a large part of the North American continent.
Now, we have had some sort of reciprocity with the United States, as the right hon. leader of the Opposition said in his remarks this afternoon. But while we are offering reciprocity, I would draw the attention of the House to the fact that there is reciprocity in certain lines now within our grasp. Boots and shoes and leather go free into the United States. Why therefore should they not come free into Canada? In connection with this matter the member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler), whose remarks I always listen to with the greatest of pleasure and attention, said there were manu-

The Budget-Mr. McMaster
facturers in his riding who were prepared to have reciprocal trade relations with the United States if we could guarantee them permanence. I may say parenthetically that I visited his home town some months ago and I never was in a more beautiful town of its size, surrounded by fields so well cultivated that they gladdened the heart, and with every indication of hard work, thrift and brains among its people. Well, if it was possible for those manufacturers to open up lines of business with a few customers who might drop off in three or four years I wonder whether they would say, "We do not think we will bother going after their business; it lacks permanence." Would they say that? I do not think they would. And let me contrast their attitude-which I have no doubt is correctly described by their distinguished representative-with the attitude of the stock-raisers of the West who had a cargo of stockers landed on the dock at Bristol, I think it was, almost as soon as the British cattle embargo was lifted. Why was it, Mr. Speaker, that this provision of the American tariff allowing boots and shoes and leather to enter the United States free has been on their statute books since the 3rd October, 1913, if I mistake not, without its being availed of to any great extent by our manufacturers, while the cattle embargo was not off a day before a cargo of stockers was landed at Bristol? What is the difference? Were these stockraisers better business men than the manufacturers of North Waterloo? No, I do not believe so. But they were driven on by the urge of economic necessity to avail themselves of the very first chance to get into {mother market. They had no home market which would under ordinary circumstances absorb their product, and therefore as gallant adventurers and capable business men they had to look abroad in order to find customers.
The same thing affects agricultural implements; these can go free into the United States. Then there is in the American tariff provision whereby certain materials, for which at the present time there is a tremendous demand in the United States, may enter the American market free or at such rates of duty as will be imposed on similar goods coming into Canada from the United States. I refer to building brick, calcium carbide and its by-products, and cement. Now, there is no question about the building boom in the United States. I notice in the papers that bricklayers in that country are not satisfied with twelve dollars a day; they have struck for more. Why should not our brick and
cement manufacturers who are situated in positions where they can readily ship their products into the United States market take advantage of their opportunities? The movement of brick and cement is largely controlled by the freight rate, and where the Canadian manufacturers of these commodities can have them carried by water, or where they can have the advantage of a cheap freight rate, surely it should be the business of government to let them get the advantage of trading across the line.
Now, let me deal for a short time with the budget itself. I would hate to be unfair. The government deserves great credit for reducing the duty on both raw and refined sugar. That reduction should be of some advantage to the Canadian consumers of sugar. But the budget reminds me of the vicissitudes of human life-there are so many ups and downs in it. Hemp for agricultural purposes goes on the free list; licorice paste not sweetened goes down to 10 per cent, 15 per cent and 17J per cent, as against 15 per cent, 20 per cent and 20 per cent under the old tariff. Raisins and dried currants go up in the scale, and so do potatoes.
Now, although I live in Montreal I represent an Eastern Townships riding. There one of the national dishes is raisin pie, and why the wives of the farmers whom I represent should be obliged to pay more for the raisins that go into their pies in order that Australian raisins may come from-I do not know how many thousand miles, but I suppose at least six thousand; it took the Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. Robb) a considerable time to go there and come back -why raisins that come from California should be excluded by a tariff which has been increased by about 300 per cent in order that raisins from the other side of the world may be brought in is, I suppose, part of that mania for interfering with the free play of commerce, which I expect will be sweetened and blessed by the slogan of "Imperial Solidarity" or something of that sort.
I do not need to talk about the duties on artificial silk. Artificial silk has become a protected article, on the old protectionist theory that every process through which material goes should add something to the duties. I am not going to read all the different processes and all the different rates of duty; the duty starts at one end at 10 per cent and ends at the other at 37J per cent. I will not delay the House long with any remarks on the bounty on hemp or remarks on the bounty on copper: I am of the opinion that every rope should hang by its own
301S

The Budget-Mr. McMaster
strength and that every copper tub, as well as every other tub, should stand on its own bottom.
Why am I opposed to this budget? Because as far as I can see any governing principle in it, it is the principle of protection. I could not quite see the force of all the bitterness in the remarks of the right hon. leader of the Opposition (Mr. Meighen) this afternoon. He should be rather pleased; this administration has come to agree to his fiscal views-there does not seem to be much difference between them on this budget. That is a matter, I should think, for congratulation, if the right hon. gentleman is really sincere in his protectionist views. But I sometimes wonder when I listen to his splendid eloquence and observe the operation of his analytic mind, whether he really is protectionist; it would seem strange if he were.
What is the problem that faces the Canadian people to-day? Half our people live on the land; a great deal more than half the people, probably three-quarters of them, either live on the land or directly depend upon those who do. And what is the situation in regard to our farmers? Of course, they can improve their methods. I understand the view of the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Motherwell) is that if only we could all go in for mixed farming, all would be well. I am quite willing to admit that farmers could improve their methods, that they may be able to get better prices for their products without getting more from the consumer, by following out proper methods of co-operative selling. And perhaps if the rings and combines will allow them-and there are such, although the right hon. leader of the Opposition scoffs at the idea-they may get some things cheaper through co-operative buying. But that will not affect to any very great extent this great difficulty: that the farmer sells his products at prices which are somewhat under wholesale prices, and has to buy the commodities which he needs in retail quantities at prices enhanced by a protective tariff in many cases and by the rings and the selling agreements which exist, to a greater extent than they otherwise would, under the tariff. That is the great problem of the farmer. I do not propose to enter into any long disquisition about the theory of free trade and protection, for I would weary you; you have listened to long speeches and interesting speeches to-day. I am opposed to the principle of protection. I do not propose to wipe it all out over night; I do not propose to do anything extreme, but I propose, if I possibly can through my feeble efforts, to 
get action. I am opposed to the principle of protection because it has proved itself in this country a most dismal failure. I do not think anybody will deny that we have an honest, a thrifty, a hard-working people. We have good men and good women in Canada. We have good soil, second to none for certain purposes. We have certain disadvantages: we are spread' too sparsely over the country. We have a hard winter, but not an unhealthy one. But we have not kept our natural increase, and we have not kept the immigration which we have brought in at great expense during the last thirty years. That is the situation; that is the proof of the failure of this policy.
Then, the policy is anti-national. It was called the National Policy; it is not a national policy; it is a policy which makes the trade question and the taxation question of this country nothing more than a local issue. The eloquent member for Comox-Alberni (Mr. Neill) last year stated with interesting frankness that if he lived on the prairies he would no doubt be a free trader, but as he lived in British Columbia he was a protectionist. It is not only anti-national, but it is anti-social, it gives certain people a direct interest in the incidence of taxation and makes it profitable for some people that a high debt should be maintained in this country in order that there may be a high rate of taxation. It is anti-national in that sense. The consequence is that whenever a trade question is under discussion in this House we have hon. members presenting, not a national view, but a sectional view; it is hardly possible for them to do otherwise. It makes of this House directly an antithesis of what Edmund Burke said parliament should be. May I, Mr. Speaker, quote his words:
Parliament is not a congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests; which interests each must maintain, as an agent and advocate, against other agents and advocates; but parliament is a deliberative assembly of one nation with one interest, that of the whole, where, not local purposes-
It will be recalled that an hon. member of this House, speaking the other night on the copper bounty, did not attempt to express what he thought was the national interest; he expressed rather the view of his constituents. Let him as well as others listen to these words:
-where not local purposes, not local prejudices ought to guide, but the general good, resulting from the general reason of the whole. You choose a member, indeed, but when you have chosen him, he is not member of Bristol but he is a member of parliament. If the local constituent should have an interest, or should form a hasty opinion, evidently opposed to

The Budget-Mr. McMaster
the real good of the rest of the community, the member for that place ought to be as far, as any other, from any endeavour to give it effect.
But there is a deeper reason, Mr. Speaker, why I should oppose this budget, a reason deeper than any economic reason. I cannot regard this budget as anything else but a distinct repudiation of the representations made by the Liberal party at and since the convention of 1919, and, indeed, a falling away from the true historic principles of the Liberal party. I do not pretend that our practice has always been consistent with our profession, but I do say that as between the two great political parties of this country, the Conservative party stood for the principle of protection and the Liberal party stood for the principle of free trade, or, if not free trade, low tariff. If any one tries to represent the Liberal party as a protectionist party he is endeavouring, I think, not to justly interpret the history of this country.
Now, what was the Liberal party platform? The distinguished member for Halifax (Mr. Maclean) says that those who gathered at the Liberal convention were very foolish because we laid down this platform. The member for North Waterloo (Mr. Euler) says that he does not think that the Liberal party should be shackled or fettered by any pronouncement on the trade question made at that convention. The member for Halifax was not at the convention, but I believe the member for North Waterloo was, and if he disagreed with the idea of laying down a platform which was one of the avowed objects of the convention, I ask him, in all sincerity and with all courtesy as one old friend to another, why he came? The Liberal platform was laid down at the Liberal convention which met in the early days of August, 1919. One reason why the Liberals called a convention in 1919 was this-and here I beg to remark that they are the only one of the two great parties which so far have held national conventions. Others have held provincial conventions, but of the great parties in the country the Liberals only have held a national convention. We held a national convention because the Liberal party had been rent in twain by the conscription issue. We wanted to all get together to draw up a policy we could all subscribe to. In general terms-I am no doctrinaire who believes in being shackled to the crossing of every T and the dotting of every I in a pronouncement of this sort-that it should be a chart and a compass, and that chart and compass should be kept in use. That is the claim I make. We gathered together from all over Canada to name our leader and to lay down
our platform. I do not think it was a foolish proceeding. May I note this: That in 1893 we did the same thing. We had a convention and laid down a platform, and we won the election of 1896 and went back into power after being out of office for eighteen years. In 1919 we laid down our platform, elected our leader and went back into power in 1921. The Liberal platform read as follows:-and I am not ashamed of this platform.


Mr. GARLAND (Bow River):: Hear, hear.


Andrew Ross McMaster: It was not drawn up by myself alone; it was decided upon by others as well as myself. As it was drawn first of all in a private meeting I have no right and I will not attempt to say whose hand wrote it. I was called from the General Resolutions Committee, of which I was chairman at the convention, to defend this platform from the stand on which the speakers stood. I spoke on that occasion against the Premier of British Columbia who, for some reason or another, was against, not the spirit of the platform, but certain provisions therein. A distinguished lady from Hamilton spoke against it, and a very dear friend of mine from Montreal did the same thing. Well, I spoke, it was put to a vote, and was carried by about nine votes to one as far as I could see. There was no question as to the unanimity, the substantial unanimity, of the delegates gathered there, that it was the proper platform for us to lay down. How does it read? I am sorry the right hon. leader of the Opposition is not in his seat to-night. This has not got a brown cover but it is the same platform and he would have the pleasure of hearing it read in a certainly distinct and audible voice. It reads as follows:
That the best interests of Canada demand that substantial reductions of the burdens of customs taxation be made with a view to the accomplshmg o two purposes of the highest importance; First, diminishing the very high cost of living which presses so severely on the masses of the people; second, reducing the cost of the instruments of production m the industries based on the natural resources of t e Dominion, the vigorous development of which is essential to the progress and prosperity of our country.
That, to these ends, wheat, wheat flour and all products of wheat the principal articles of food, farm implements and machinery, farm tractors, mining, flour and saw-mill machinery and repair parts thereof, rough and partly dressed lumber, gasoline, illuminating, lubricating and fuel oils, nets, net-twines and fishermen's equipments, cements and fertilizers, should be free from customs duties, as well as the raw material entering into the same.
That a revision downwards of the tariff should be made whereby substantial reductions should be effected in the duties on wearing apparel and footwear, and on other articles of general consumption (other than luxuries), as well as on the raw material entering into the manufacture of the same.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.

The Budget-Mr. McMaster


Andrew Ross McMaster: I hear some people saying, "hear, hear" to that statement. Let me read to those who say "hear, hear" the words of that great English Whig statesman, Edmund Burke, who possibly laid down as correctly as was ever laid down, the relationship which should exist between member and constituents. Edmund Burke said, in addressing his electors at Bristol:
Certainly, gentlemen, it ought to be the happiness and glory of a representative to live in the strictest union, the closest correspondence, and the moist unreserved communication with his constituents.
I break off my quotation to state to you, Mr. Speaker, and to my fellow members, that I have followed that plan. Since I have been a member of this House, every session I have gone back to my people and held meetings with them. After one session I had one meeting when I had the Prime Minister (Mr. Mackenzie King) and the Minister of Marine and Fisheries (Mr. Lapointe) with me, and we had such a large meeting on that occasion that I did not think it necessary to hold another during that recess. But after each ses'-sion I have held meetings, from that one meeting to other times when I have held as many as thirteen in a small riding, the smallest riding in Quebec. I maintained a close co-operation and correspondence with my electorate, and anything I did in this House I reported to them. I think, on the whole, I generally obtained, without any formal resolution or anything of that sort, their approval of what I had done. I may say that in this case I had no time to go and consult my electorate to any extent, even though the obligation had been upon me. I saw the chairman of the organization in my riding; and while I had not time to talk to a number of my electorate, I [DOT] talked with a few of them. Though they may regret that I find it incumbent upon me to take a seat which will be an outward and visible sign that I am not in sympathy with the administration on their budget, on the whole I believe they are willing that I should do as my mind and my conscience dictate I should do. Edmund Burke continued:
Their wishes ought to have great weight with him; their opinion high respect; their business unremitted attention. It is his duty to sacrifice his repose, his pleasures, his satisfactions, to theirs; and above all, ever, and in all cases, to prefer their interests to his own. But, his unbiassed opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you; to any man, or to any set of men living. These he does not derive from your pleasure; no, nor from the law and the constitution. They are a trust from Providence, for the abuse of which he is deeply answerable. Your representive owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion...

To deliver an opinion is the right of all men; that of constituents is a weighty and respectable opinion, which a representative ought always to rejoice to hear; and which he ought always most seriously to consider. But authoritative instructions; mandates issued, which the member is bound blindly and implicity to obey, to vote, and to argue for, though contrary to the clearest conviction of his judgment and conscience,-these are things utterly unknown to the laws of this land, and which arise from a fundamental mistake of the whole order and tenor of our constitution.
It is on that ground that I take my stand. I do not propose to push a doctrine, no matter how sound, to extremes. An occasion will present itself very shortly in my riding, where I can place my whole case before my electors. If they approve what I have done, then will I gladly continue to serve them. But if they do not approve what I have done, if they wish to have in this House a Liberal who thinks more of the label on the bottle than what is in it, who will sacrifice his opinion arrived at after careful consideration and in the light of his conscience, to the desire of the whips, then I will resign my seat and allow them to elect such a one if they so desire. Then, somewhat disappointed, but neither downhearted nor disconsolate, I can go back and devote to my clients, my office and my law books some part of the energy which I have, as far as in me has lain, devoted to what I considered to be the interests of my country. I have enjoyed public service in this House and out of it; but I enjoy public service only on terms which, I believe, are consonant with the dignity of a public man, and 1 do not believe a public man helps himself. or his party, or his country by voting in a manner in which he does not believe. I repeat, I am not leaving the Liberal party; but I am refusing to support the present administration in a budget which I do not believe to be a Liberal budget. I take my seat in the corner of the chamber. I join no other party. There*, when liberal legislation is brought before this House, I will support it by my vote and, if necessary, by my voice; but I shall be in a position, if legislation which I do not think is liberal, is brought before the House, to criticize it with a greater freedom, though I trust with no lack of courtesy, than I possess when I sit amongst those who are responsible more or less for the legislation.
In closing, let me quote again that great English statesman Edmund Burke. I say it in all humility, but I believe it to be true:
My principles enable me to form my judgment upon
men and actions	The principles of true politics
are those of morality enlarged; and I neither now do, nor ever will admit of any other.


Mr. HERBERT MARLER (St. Lawrence-St. George):: Mr. Speaker, before I begin to

The Budget-Mr. Marler
discuss the budget I desire to join with those hon. members who have preceded me in congratulating the Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) upon having completed his seventeenth financial statement. I will go even further and say that the minister deserves to be described as a faithful public servant. It is quite true that in his budget speech he did not perhaps include certain matters which some of his supporters would like to see taken into consideration, but it is possible that the minister may consider them when his proposals are being discussed in detail. I had not the pleasure this afternoon of listening to the whole of the speech of the right hon. the leader of the Opposition (Mr. Meighen), but that part of it which I did hear impressed me as being full of ability, although I fear it lacked any generosity whatever towards the government of the day. Possibly that is not the part of the leader of the Opposition, nor indeed of the party which he leads; I do not suppose it is to be expected that they should show any generosity of feeling towards this government. I was therefore in a measure surprised when my hon. friend from West York (Sir Henry Drayton) in the course of*his remarks, exhibited the great magnanimity *which he did on that occasion. He said in discussing the budget that he had no amendment to offer but would leave the Progressives to put forward one on this occasion. Why did he make that observation? I wondered whether a ray of light had come into the old Tory party, or whether this was a piece of generous behaviour. I do not think it was generosity, in the least degree. Indeed, Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for West York seemed to me to feel great regret that he could not criticize the budget more severely than he did, so that his not moving any amendment was due to no generous impulse on his part. Our friends the Progressive party have taken a very decided view of the budget; they are very firm in their attitude towards it. They say that the policy of the present [DOT]administration is in no regard distinguishable from that of its predecessors, and by way of rider to this, they say that the system of protection is wrong in theory and in fact. They go on to say that the tariff should be lowered, tending, of course, towards free trade, or failing that, a tariff as near free trade as it can be, until free trade can be secured in this country.
I think that anyone would admit that this is about the most difficult country in the world to govern. We have a very small population sparsely spread over a tremendous area, a ribbon of land stretching from ocean
to ocean. There are certain ideas in the Maritime provinces, other ideas in Ontario and Quebec, then going over that great bridge of stone into the prairies we find entirely new ideas, and so on over the mountains to British Columbia. I do not wonder that my Progressive friends opposite should have certain views of their own in regard to questions of the tariff. I do not blame them in the least. But my hon. friend from Brandon (Mr. Forke) in his speech, which I thought was a very able one and which was full of sincerity, as the hon. member's speeches always are, made a remark which appealed to me very much; he said that the West, the manufacturers in the East, should try to get together. Well, that is precisely the policy which I think we should endeavour to bring about in Canada. It is absolutely impossible in a country of this character for the people to live apart; it is impossible to have one principle in the W'est and another in the East. After all, why should it be impossible to strike some common ground? What reason is there why the farmers of the prairies should not trust the East as the East trusts them? They say, "We cannot agree to that because the men of the East are manufacturers and they therefore want a tariff." They do want a tariff, it is quite true. But, on the other hand, do not the people of the West want certain policies as well? Surely it would be possible in due course of time for the parties to get together and arrive at one common policy which would be good for the whole of Canada. Why should one policy be advocated for one part of the country and another for some other part? How is it going to be possible for Canada to proceed under such circumstances? How would it be possible for any business in this country, whether farming or manufacturing, to prosper if we are divided as regards the desires of the country as a whole? Obviously it is quite impossible.
My friends of the Progressive party tell us that times are very hard in the West and that they are finding it very difficult to get along. That is quite true. But in reply to that it can be very truthfully said that not every business in the East is prosperous; the business men of the East are experiencing their own difficulties also. An hon. member stated in his speech that the farms are not paying, but he admitted, I believe, that certain returns showed that in the case of each of 240 farmers there was a surplus of some $600. I can assure the hon. gentleman that there are many inhabitants of the province of Quebec from which I come who can barely make a living, to say nothing at all of $600 to boot

The Budget-Mr. Marler

The difficulties are not alone on the prairies; they are not alone in the West. Difficulties are common throughout Canada to-day; but my good friends the Progressives will not consider this fact at all. Hon. gentlemen do not seem to consider the great fundamental difficulties that exist throughout the country at this time. They say they want certain policies put into effect; they want certain economic facts realized. Well, I know, and we all know very well that they do. What are those facts to which I refer? They say that one thing they want is lower freight rates. Of course the West needs lower freight rates; but the East needs lower freight rates too. But how can we have lower freight rates at this time, if at the same time we are to pay any operating charges at all on the railways? If we increase the deficits of the National Railways it simply means that they must be made up in taxation in some other form. The next thing, they say, which bears heavily upon them is the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar. That also is perfectly true; I know full well that the prices of farm products have been deflated while a great many other commodities have been inflated. But is that the fault of the government? Can this government remedy the condition quickly? They certainly cannot.
They also ask for rural credits. Well, I am certainly very much disposed to give the West rural credits if this is feasible. But, after all, is not this a subject for provincial action? Unfortunately our western friends do not take these factors into consideration. We in the East would like to see the economic evils under which the people of the West are suffering remedied where possible, but they cannot be remedied in a day-in fact some of them are beyond the power of governments to remedy. That being the case, what do my hon. friends, the Progressives, do? They bring in an amendment to the budget condemning the government because it does not introduce lower tariffs.
Now, I should like to address myself particularly to my hon. friends of the Progressive party. The hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) gave us in great detail his ideas of free trade. He said it is a splendid theory.
I agree with him, but so far as I can see it is a theory and nothing more. He did not for a moment suggest, neither did a single speaker among my friends opposite suggest, how the revenue loss from reduced tariff duties can be made up. Our tariff to-day is not a high tariff; it is on an average 17i per cent collected on imported goods. I do not call it a protectionist tariff; on the contrary, I have always termed it a development tariff. I (Mr. Marler.]
believe that we need such a tariff to encourage our industries and permit of their fullest development. What would happen if we had not a tariff of that description? Our industries in the East could not survive, they would go out of existence. My hon. friend from Brandon (Mr. Forke) says, "All right, if they cannot survive let them go out of existence." Well, that is what is staring us in the face in the East. There is not the slightest question of a doubt that if the tariff is lowered at once, or if it is to be lowered from time to time to any appreciable extent, our industries will simply have to cease.
But supposing these industries do close up, what will happen to the people employed in them? Will they not have to leave Canada to gain a livelihood elsewhere? Will there not be unprecedented unemployment and tremendous loss? And will not the number of people as a consequence who can be taxed be gradually diminished, and the burden of taxation become all the heavier for the rest of us to bear? These results are bound to happen.
But supposing, for example we did do away with our comparatively moderate tariff, how are* we going to obtain our revenue? I have no doubt that the gentleman who drew this resolution sat down with pencil and paper and figured out very carefully how he was going to obtain his revenue, because I assume that if my hon. friends of the Progressive party succeed to office they will put this resolution into effect. I am positive that my hon. friend from Brandon will never go back on anything he says, and it follows that he and his party will implement their resolution whenever the opportunity presents itself. Well, have the hon. member and his friends sitting around him studied how they will get their revenue if their resolution is put into effect? I doubt if they have. I doubt very much if they have considered how the revenue of the country is to be maintained. What was secured from tne tariff last year? I am speaking now of the tariff purely from the view of revenue.
I am assuming that we have closed up our factories and created unemployment.


Robert Forke: The hon. gentleman has got past it, but it is only an assumption on his part that all the factories will be closed; he does not know for certain.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I was waiting for an interruption from the hon. member because I want to ask him a-question in reply. Does he or does he not admit that this country can stand free trade?


Robert Forke: While we stand for free trade in principle, I do not think the hon.

The Budget-Mr. Marler
gentleman has heard any member of the Progressive party state that we are going to put free trade into effect immediately. Hon. gentlemen supporting the tariff always ask the question: How would you get your revenue without the tariff? Well, you could have a very much lower tariff to begin with and yet have a very much higher revenue. A protective tariff is not a revenue tariff. Twenty-two and a half per cent or twenty-five per cent straight protection does not produce very much revenue as a rule; consequently you may have a very much larger revenue with a very much lower tariff.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I am very much obliged to my hon. friend for his reply. It is precisely what I wanted to get. My hon. friends the Progressives, then, do not believe in free trade.


Robert Forke: No, I did not say that.


Herbert Meredith Marler: So far so good.


Robert Forke: I beg the hon. gentleman's pardon, I did not say so. I believe free trade is the proper principle to be put into practice; but we are sensible people and realize existing conditions, and therefore we simply say: It is for the manufacturers to get prepared for free trade, and they should be given time to adjust their business accordingly. I have more faith in the Canadian people than the protectionists have. I believe our people have sufficient energy and ability to make their business successful without any protection whatever.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Very well. Then when my hon. friend's party come into power they would serve notice on the manufacturers of Quebec and Ontario and the rest of the Dominion: We are going to lower the tariff year by year, and you must arrange your business accordingly. Am I correct in taking that to be the policy of the Progressive party?


Robert Forke: Broadly speaking.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I am sorry to put these questions to my hon. friend, but I would not have him misunderstand me and I should not like to misunderstand him. I can assure my hon. friends opposite that I have the fullest sympathy and the very greatest admiration for the West. I say that with perfect sincerity. All I ask in so far as the East is concerned-and although I am not speaking to a very full House to-night I know full well that my words will be heard outside- is some reasonable tariff which will permit our industries to develop, and until our
population is very much increased we cannot do with any lower tariff than we have now. Let me add that the East has every sympathy with the West and wishes it the fullest prosperity, and would welcome any reasonable policy on which both East and West can stand together. Later on, I shall speak- possibly with the approval of my hon. friend from Brandon-on a suggestion which I have to make to the government. But I can say in all sincerity that the present tariff, in so far as can be ascertained without investigation, is needed in order that we may retain our industries and ensure their development in harmony with the growth of the country. We cannot compar^ the industries in our little country cf lesg^han nine million people with the industries in the States which my hon. friends of the Progressive party are so fond of referring to for comparison. Do my hon. friends know that the mills in the province of Quebec have to run on very many lines of goods so that each product consequently costs much more to manufacture, whereas in the United States a single mill is run year and year out on one line of goods alone?
One hon. gentleman opposite some days ago compared the prices i_. the United States with the prices here. I know that the prices in the United States are lower than they arc-in Canada; they are bound to be. We cannot manufacture things at the prices at. whicn they are manufactured in that country. Take down your tariff and you will close up your factories, drive all capital out of Canada, keep people away-that is what you are facing if you cut your tariff down too low. The hon. member for Brandon will say, "Oh, we are not going to do it all at once." Perhaps not; I would not accuse hon. gentlemen opposite of doing any rash thing; they are not that type of men. I believe they are all sincere and honest men, but they would serve notice on businesses that the tariff was coming down, and that would create an unsettled state of mind among those carrying on business in the province of Quebec, in the East generaily with the result that those businesses could not progress.
Let me come back to the question of how we are to obtain the revenue. There wai collected last year in tariff duties $133,000,000. I was going on to say when I digressed a few moments ago that I assumed whoever drafted this resolution, whoever is to be minister of finance when the Progressive party gets into power, carefully studied out how that $133,000,000 should be made up. It is suggested in this resolution that in order to provide for
The Budget-Mr. Marler

revenue to take the place of the tariff, there should be an extension of the income tax which would bear more heavily on unearned incomes. Now I am quite positive-and J trust I do not overstate the case-when I say it is utterly and absolutely impossible to make up $133,000,000 in income tax at all. It is next to impossible to make up half that amount from income tax. I will tell you why, because I figured it out myself with the very greatest of care in order to see if I could read into this resolution any possibility of taxing what are commonly called unearned incomes. The term "unearned income" is used very loosely-sometimes to designate the accumulations which a man I^as gathered together after years of labour. I do not call that unearned income. I look upon unearned income as income derived from inheritance, and receipts of that description. I do not see any serious objection, as I stated in the House a few nights ago, to slightly increasing the tax on income which is accumulated but which is not being actively earned. I see no particular objection to a slight additional tax there, and I see no objection to a considerably heavier tax on inherited income, because that is not being earned as class A income is. The total income tax collected in 1922 was $40,000,000. The amount collected on incomes up to $20,000 was roughly, $20,000,000. Now, I know that whoever drew this resolution was not trying to get after the little fellows; he was trying to get after the big fellows, the men who had large incomes; he wanted to tax them more heavily in order to replace the loss occasioned by the change in respect to the tariff. Well, I have said that in respect of incomes of over $20,000 the amount paid by way of income tax was $20,000,000. If you wish to make up only half the $133,000,000, or $70,000,000, out of these larger incomes, you have to impose a tax three times as heavy as the present tax. Now, I have made a calculation in order to show hon. gentlemen opposite the fallacy of this resolution. So far as getting your revenue is concerned it i absolutely fallacious; you would go broke m one year if its suggestions were carried out. What would happen? Let us tax these larger incomes, starting with an income of $30,000. You would have to continue the present tax of 14 per cent and have in addition another tax of 42 per cent; in other words, you would tax that income 64 per cent in order to gain one-half the amount collected last year in customs duties. On an income of $50,000 you would have to place a tax of 80 per cent; on an income of $60,000, 82 per cent, and in the case of an income of $70,000, in order to get
(Mr. Marler.]
your revenue you would have to take it all- every cent the man had by way of income. That is how increasing the income tax would work out according to the most careful calculations that I have been able to make-and I may say that I am not unused to figuring out income taxes in many ways. I suggest to hon. members that that is a matter worthy of consideration.
The resolution goes on to suggest also an increase in excise duties. Well, the amount of excise duties collected in 1923 was $35,000,000. You have to make up your $133,000,000; in other words, you are going to reduce your tariff gradually until it gets to the vanishing point and you put into practice the free trade theories that the hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) propounded so ably to-night. I say that he pronounced the theories very well indeed, but he did not give you one single practical idea as to how free trade as applied to Canada would affect the people of this country or affect anybody else. In this resolution you pick on the poor old tariff, which has been made the football of politics from time immemorial. You say, "If the tariff is lowered, if the tariff is taken off, notwithstanding the fact that industries will be ruined, our lives will be saved." But what did one of your own members say the other night? He made a statement which to me was exceedingly significant. The hon. member for North Wellington (Mr. Pritchard) said that the amount of taxes paid by every person in Canada owing to the tariff was $14.68. or, for a family of five, $73.40. Now, Mr. Speaker, is the West as badly off as all that? Are your difficulties worth only $73.40 to each family? There is the statement of your own member-are you going to ruin the businesses in Quebec and Ontario for this amount? That is what you will do by this resolution if it is carried, as the hon. member for Brandon assures me in due course of time it will be. That is what is going to happen.
However, let me leave the acrimonious part of this resolution. I do not think members of the Progressive party have seriously studied the effect of the proposed amendment. They did not sit down and study and figure out as to how that resolution could be given effect to, and they run the Hanger by leaving it on the pages of Hansard of having it quoted against them some time in the future just as the hon. member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) to-night-somewhat unkindly I thought-flung into the face of the government the resolutions which had been placed on Hansard by the Liberal party. My recommenda-

The Budget-Mr. Marler
tion to hon gentlemen opposite is to withdraw that resolution.


Mr. JOHNSTON (Last Mountain):: Do not flatter yourself.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I am not flattering myself;
I am trying to do you a distinct service.


John Frederick Johnston: We will look after ourselves.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Look after yourselves? I absolutely challenge my hon friend from Last Mountain to make up any budget on that resolution. I challenge him to do so. I would like to see him come before the House, and with pencil and paper figure out any budget that will make up for the custom revenue that will be lost under that resolution. The resolution as drawn is directly opposite to the interests of the Progressive party. They talk about the primary industries of the country. Here it is in black and white-the primary industries of the country. And they talk about the natural resources, those great natural resources we have all heard so much about. Why every man who has spoken in this House from time immemorial has informed us that we have the greatest natural resources of any country in the world, which I believe is true. But those natural resources, Mr. Speaker, are worthless until they are taken from the ground. The only w'ay that can be done is by the employment of capital. Capital and people are the two essential things to this country. I think even the hon. member for Last Mountain will agree to that.


John Frederick Johnston: You mentioned capital twice. I wonder if you are forgetting labour?


Herbert Meredith Marler: I spoke of capital and people. Perhaps my hon. friend does not think that people will labour; I know many of them will not at the present time. But capital and people are what we want in this country now. Very well, you destroy the industries in the province of Quebec by lowering the tariff gradually, by not keeping those industries stable, by letting them gradually go down. If you do that how much capital do you think would come into Canada? You will not get a single dollar of the capital which is coming into this country at the present time. Place your income tax as proposed under this amendment and see how much it will help you in the way of securing capital. Why, Mr. Speaker, the income tax in this country should be reduced-there is no question about that at all. It is far too heavy a tax to put on the shoulders of the people.
If it was reduced I venture to say you would find a far greater amount of capital flowing into Canada.


John Frederick Johnston: Where would you get your revenue?


Herbert Meredith Marler: I would get the revenue from the development tariff of which I spoke. The system of indirect taxation which is in force at the present time is the fairest way of getting a revenue. It bears equally on most people, but the direct taxation which this amendment suggests be carried out involves too heavy a load.


Henry Elvins Spencer: Do you not agree that indirect taxation involves a heavy load?


Herbert Meredith Marler: Taxation of all kinds is a heavy load. Let my hon. friends opposite understand it quite clearly I am in favour of lightening taxation of every possible) form, but how can taxation be lightened at the present time with deficit after deficit in our annual budget? Indirect taxation is not pleasant, there is no question about that at all, but nevertheless there has to be taxation in order to obtain the money for running the country.
Now, I am going to depart from my Progressive friends and direct my remarks to the government itself. With a great many things my hon. friend for Brandon (Mr. Forke) has said in his speech I am in accord. I think he sized up many a situation which is well worth the most serious consideration of the government at the present time. He spoke, for example, about the question of economy. Mr. Speaker, I might be quite wrong but I think vTe are spending far too much money in this country. That, I think, is an undoubted fact. The hon. member also spoke about the cost of civil government. In my opinion he was absolutely right in his remarks in that respect. Civil government in this country is costing an outstanding, a ridiculous amount, a sum that it never should cost a little nation like ourselves. Civil government never should cost us what it costs us in Canada. Some of the figures I am about to read were taken from the speech of the hon. member for Brandon but they have been supplemented by figures of my own. In 1912 we had a population of
7.300.000,	we had 8,371 employees, and the Civil Service cost $7,805,373. In 1922, ten years later, we had a population of 8,788,000, we had 11,878 employees, and the Civil Service cost $19,271,985. So that in these ten years, although our population only increased
1.488.000,	the number of employees increased 3,507 and the cost increased $12,466,612. I sav

rites
The Budget-Mr. Marler

that expenditure for civil government in a little country like this is next to absurd, and there should be a thorough inquiry as to whether or not civil government in Canada cannot be carried on at a very much less figure. Any business would go out of existence with a lack of economy of that description.
There is another matter I intend to speak about and I apologize for keeping hon. members at this late hour. It is that we should only spend in this country what we have to spend, and cease piling up deficits year after year.


Henry Lumley Drayton: Hear, hear.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Of late years we have
had a deficit each year. In 1921, $92,000,000; in 1922, $81,000,000; in 1923, $50,000,000, and possibly next year we will witness another deficit I am not criticizing the Minister of Finance; I am not even criticizing my genial friend from West York (Sir Henry Drayton) as regards his administration; I am criticizing every member of the House of Commons.


An hon. MEMBER:: You are wrong.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I do not think the people
of the country will say I am wrong. They will say that this government, and any government is wrong unless we have greater economy and make our budget meet. We have got to do that. We have got to cease spending money, and the only way we shall ever be able to lighten taxation, lighten the load which is at present on the backs of the Canadian people, is to cut down our expenditure and only spend what we have got to spend.
In addition to that I have this to say: We have two classes of taxes in this country at the present time. We have our war taxes and our ordinary taxes. Our war taxes should be devoted to meeting war expenditure entirely. We have got to pay for the war and the people will cheerfully pay the taxes that are needed for that purpose. But the ordinary taxes that are levied should meet the ordinary expenditure, and the country should be rim within the limits of that taxation.
Now, Sir, I pass on to another subject and I shall not detain the House very much longer. In the budget speech there was a declaration bj' the Minister of Finance of tariff stability. That declaration has been read in a variety of ways. I, myself, thought well jf that declaration. I thought well of the intent of the minister in telling that to the manufacturers and the various other interests in the country in order that business might be stable.
.1 thought well of that declaration at the time,
^Mr. Marler.]
and I think well of it yet, because it means stability, and we do need stability without a question of doubt. But the question of tariff stability does not mean that there shall never be tariff revision in this country. We must have tariff revision in Canada. The country does not stand still. It is in the interests of the consumer and in the interests of the producer that the tariff shall be revised from time to time. Now I am going to deal once more with the word "protection" which is in this resolution which is before us. It says:
That any claim for protection should be heard publicly before a special committee of parliament.
I do not want to cast any suspicion on the committees. I do not want to deprive the members of any committee of this House of any knowledge or intelligence they should have, but I say a committee of parliament would be just about as well equipped to pass on the question of making up the tariff as it would be on the question of making up railway rates. The question of making up the tariff is one of the most complicated matters which is ever brought before parliament, and has to be dealt with by the Finance Minister. How has the tariff been made up in the past? It has been made up by a committee of ministers from the cabinet going all over the country and getting information on various questions. They no doubt did their work well. I think my hon. friend from West York headed the last commission. He no doubt did his work well. He always does his work well, the only work he does not do well is criticizing this budget, and the reason he could not criticize the budget was because he agreed almost entirely with it, and it nearly broke his heart to have to criticize it at all. That is the reason he did not do it well. I am quite certain that in the revision of the tariff he did his work very well indeed. How can even a committee of the cabinet make up a tariff?
What we need is an advisory tariff commission, which will be a permanent body, which will look into the question of the tariff, collate the necessary information and bring it forward to the Minister of Finance. I do not say that the tariff can be taken out of politics entirely. I know' that it cannot be taken out of politics altogether. I am fully aware of that fact. I know that when the tariff is made up by the advisory commission of which I speak the government of the day must have the last say as to whether or not a certain tariff shall be raised or a certain tariff shall be lowered, but I do say a body of experts can bring before the government the information which is necessary for them to make a

The Budget-Mr. Maclean (Halifax)
fair and equitable tariff and although hon. members opposite may not agree with me on the question of whether we should have what I call a development tariff or not, although they are unalterably opposed to the principle of protection, they at least would know whether the manufacturer who came forward was not getting an unreasonable protection, but that he was getting a fair protection, consistent with other interests.
Why? What has to be considered in the tariff? There is not only the question of the original cost of goods and the question of transportation, but the great question of distribution. The expense of distribution, I believe, from the manufacturer to the producer is far too much at the present time. There is a tremendous spread between what the manufacturer gets for his products and what you hon. members from the West have to pay for yours. There is no question about that. I have gone into that point time and time again with the manufacturers of Montreal. In 1912 the question of an advisory tariff commission was brought before the House of Commons; it went through the House but was defeated in the Senate. I do not think I am sufficiently narrow-minded not to accept from the Conservative party, or from the Progressive party, whatever policy is for the good of the country, because that is what we are all working for and the country is in too serious a position to put party before country. I will say on the floor of the House now that I will take advice from any party which will bring forward what is a fair and proper proposal. Therefore, recognizing the necessity of tariff revision, and speaking on the necessity of a tariff advisory commission to-night, I am glad to have the benefit of the advice which was brought before the House at the time to which I refer. The Conservatives brought this matter up in 1912, but if some hon. members on this side of the House have any objection to take advice from the Conservative party, let me say that the tariff has changed very much since 1912. In those days there was $73,000,000 collected from the tariff and now $133,000,000 is collected. Since 1912 we have had a great war and tremendous taxes have been put on our shoulders. Since 1912 we have had the pleasure of seeing that dilapidated annex of the Liberal party, namely the Progressive party, expand to the number of sixty-five. Well, sir, all these facts are true. I say the tariff should be framed with the assistance of an advisory board for the purpose of advising the Finance Minister on matters of that description, so that a fair and reasonable tariff for the development of our 194
industries and the protection of the consumer will be prepared. I regret that my hon. friend from Brandon (Mr. Forke) and the hon. member for Last Mountain (Mr. Johnston) will not withdraw the resolution. I think they will be sorry when they get into power, which we hope will not be for a long time. When they get into power and read this resolution in Hansard I think they will have great difficulty in reconciling themselves with their action on this matter.
Let me turn to the hon. member for Brome who made a speech this evening, and stated he was absolutely against the principle and practice of protection. No doubt hon. members opposite agree with all he said. They have heard his remarks with reference to his defection. I do not intend, Mr. Speaker, to say very much about the defection of the hon. member for Brome beyond stating it was very regrettable to me that he should have adopted such an attitude towards the party he has followed for so many years. What did the hon. member say? He said he was a Liberal and he was the only man who understood the Liberal doctrine. Well, why does the hon. member for Brome pose as the arbiter of the Liberal party? Can no other hon. members in this House understand what the Liberal doctrine or the Liberal policy is? Why did he say that he, and he alone, is the only man in the House that understands the Liberal doctrine?
The hon. member for Brome is advancing his own personal ideas and views instead of sinking those personal views as many of us have to do for the general good of the country. He will not merge those views with the views of others, but he stands out for a fad and fancy and he is chasing a rainbow. That is all he is chasing when he talks about free trade. It is nothing else. It is a regrettable incident that he should take the attitude he has taken to-night. It is an impossibility to have free trade and have the country prosperous. Let me ask the hon. members opposite who applauded him so vigorously to-night, did he give you any solution of the problem as to how you were going to meet the financial obligations of the country? Did he explain to you how he was going to assist you in your policies? He did nothing at all. He did nothing at all except propound the idea that free trade was the best policy for the country, and that under the system of protection we had not been successful. I do not agree with his statement. I think we have been remarkably successful. I think our trade is certainly something to be exceedingly proud of in a country of this

The Budget-Mr. Marler

description. I think we have a splendid set of people in this country to be proud of. The effort of the West has been one of the most magnificent efforts that have ever been put forth in history. Those are all matters that we may be proud of, and they have all taken place under the system which has been in vogue for a number of years.
The hon. member for Brome went on again to speak of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He said that he knew him; that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had made him financial critic; yet he absolutely turns around on the tariff policy which Sir Wilfrid Laurier himself put into force with the Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding), when he came into power in 1896. As a matter of fact, the Laurier-Fielding tariff is less than it was in 1896, and the hon. member for Brome says, "I revered Sir Wilfrid Laurier," yet he turns around on his follower who made the self-same tariff at that time. That is the attitude which the hon. member for Brome has taken towards the Liberal party to-night. There is no consistency in his attitude. I see the hon. member for Last Mountain shaking his head. Why does he shake his head? Will he tell me?


John Frederick Johnston: Yes I will-because the hon. member who has the floor has been misstating the position of the hon. member for Brome. That is why I am shaking my head.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I can assure my hon. friend that the last person I would like to make a misstatement about is the hon. member for Brome.


John Frederick Johnston: The hon. member has been doing so.


Herbert Meredith Marler: In what way? I have not been making any misstatement to my knowledge. I am stating simply what he himself has stated. His one ambition and object, his whole speech, centered around the word "protection;" that we had to get rid of protection; that we had to get on to free trade.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Some hon. gentlemen say, "hear,hear." I challenge hon. gentlemen opposite to make up any budget on the basis of free trade. I will challenge any hon. gentleman opposite, if free trade ever does come in -and it never will-to be any better off under it than under the present tariff. The hon. member for Assiniboia (Mr. Gould), I suppose, after voting to-morrow night, he will be sitting beside the hon. member for Burrard (Mr. Clark). Perhaps they will come to an agreement to-morrow and do their Boot, to 
defeat the government. I warn them that supposing they do defeat the government, they will not go back to their constituents with any feathers in their caps. Their constituents will not thank them for defeating the Liberal government.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


An hon. MEMBER:: Forget it.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Hon. members laugh. I take it that they mean their constituents will thank them for defeating the Liberal government. Is that what they mean?


Mr. GOULD:: I think so.


John Frederick Johnston: I think the trouble is that the hon. member does not understand the Progressives at all.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I think I understand the Progressives very well. I have said nothing about the Progressive party to-night except words of encouragement. I can say much more than words of encouragement; I can say much more about the Progressive party if I wanted to say anything about them; but I will say that they are the greatest protectionists we have in Canada to-day.


John Frederick Johnston: Of our country.


Herbert Meredith Marler: Of themselves. They do not think of their country; they think of themselves.


John Frederick Johnston: Not at all. Shame.


Herbert Meredith Marler: What about the wheat
board? Is that not a protective measure?


An hon. MEMBER:: Not at all.


Herbert Meredith Marler: I suppose the Hudson Bay Railway is an investment?


John Frederick Johnston: Where does the hon. member get protection?


Herbert Meredith Marler: That is purely a Progressive attitude.


John Frederick Johnston: Where is the protection in the Hudson Bay Railway?


Herbert Meredith Marler: It is not protection; it
is selfishness. I have spoken about protection. The Progressive party come out now about free trade. We understand that party.


John Frederick Johnston: The Progressive party have not done that.


Herbert Meredith Marler: What have they come out for? For this resolution?


John Frederick Johnston: Not for free trade.


Herbert Meredith Marler: We will accept the resolution on its face as being the policy of the

The Budget-Mr. McBride
Progressive party. We in the East know precisely what the Progressive party in the West means, on the basis of that resolution, and that being the case, we can act accordingly.


Mr. T. G. McBRIDE (Cariboo):: because it is not like ordinary machinery that is kept in stock: it will have to be especially made. After that it will be necessary to instruct those who are going to use the machinery. So that I cannot see how this firm will be able to get down to business inside of three years. This is quite a large proposition, it would mean a great deal to the people of the prairies and I certainly think that the government would be fully justified in extending the period to ten years. It would mean retaining millions of dollars of Canadian money in Canada and would give work to thousands of our young people; and [DOT]what Canada wants as much as anything else is industries that will absorb our young population and give them employment. No *country can long remain in the forefront of nations whose people are not workers. I think one great necessity in Canada to-day is to provide work for the young people. Surely with a country such as we have in Canada, covering an area of 111,000 square miles, greater than the United States and Alaska combined, we should be able to find employment for Canadians. I cannot help thinking-and I am speaking in this regard from years of experience in this country- that one good Canadian bom man or woman brought up in Canada is worth two who have been brought into the country. The Canadian-born man is accustomed to Canadian ways and can help develop the country; he falls into line naturally and does his work much better than people brought from the Old Country.
There is one thing I should have liked to see in the budget and that is a little more British preference, not on goods as a whole but on clothing. When we take into consideration the amount of wheat, and cattle and other products that we sell to the Mother Country, I do think that we should give a little more preference to British-made clothing. *Canada is a cold country in the winter time, rand it is very necessary to the health of the people that they should have warm clothing; and the working people as a general rule can ill afford to pay the prices that are demanded nowadays for articles of apparel. I should have liked to see a greater reduction in that respect' than there is.
There was one question which I intended to bring up in connection with the budget, and that is the question of old age pensions. But I have been engaged to such a great extent on committees that I really have had no time to give the matter any consideration, and therefore I think I had better refrain from saying anything in reference to it. Some time ago the Minister of Labour (Mr. 
Murdock) made the statement, that he did not see that this government was under any obligation to consider any further help for the unemployed. It would seem to me, Mr. Speaker, that it would be well for the hon. minister to re-consider that assertion. We in the West are in a rather peculiar position. There is generally a large floating population on the prairies that come out West in the fall of the year, and to me it hardly seems right that Vancouver-because that is the place that is most affected-should have to provide for these people in the winter time. I do not think that city should have to provide either work or food for them. Indeed, I have been always of the opinion that the Dominion government should give to the province of British Columbia special consideration in this respect. The floating population comes out West in the fall and, as I have said, as soon as the spring opens up, they drift back to the prairies and other places. We often ask ourselves this question out there, why should we provide for these people in the winter season? Yet we have got to do it. Now, I think that if the Dominion government would go ahead and construct a highway or a portion of a highway, and continue this work for a few years, as I think they would be justified in doing, it would go a long way towards relieving the situation. When British Columbia entered confederation it was agreed that the province should get a railway. Before that railway was built we had a, highway as far east as Hope; it was known as the old Cariboo road. When the railway was built it practically did away with that highway, and then the Canadian Northern was constructed and it put out of use the remainder of the highway. Generally it has been the custom when a railway is built that the railway company replaces any highways it put out of commission in the section of the country through which it passes, and I think that this government would be fully justified in replacing that portion of the highway which they were the means of destro3dng when these railways were built. If the government did this it would, as I have said, go a long way in the direction of relieving unemployment for a number of years.
Another question which I wish to touch upon briefly has reference to a statement made by Sir James Lougheed and Senator Fowler. Sir James Lougheed is reported as having said:
A change is now made, at the instance of a very small and irresponsible group in the House of Commons.

The Budget-Mr. Arthurs
I may say that he was speaking in connection with the Immigration bill.
I am satisfied that this bill does not represent the sentiments of the House, and it certainly does not represent the parliament of Canada. The small and irresponsible group in the Commons would engraft upon the statutes. . . .
He then goes on to say:
Yes, there is in the House of Commons a Labour party of one or two, I think it numbers two.
Mr. Fowler then stated:
The government showed that it had some sense in the beginning,, but then they gave way to the improper gang. We get out the worst and most dangerous agitators from the British Isles.
Sir James Lougheed interjected:
No doubt about that.
Mr. Fowler continued:
The English are a peculiar people, and if a man is attacked by the public he will be protected by the police. Then they say, "Oh, he is an Englishman," and that makes him all the more dangerous.
Now, I would like to know what right has Sir James Lougheed to make such statements about members of this House? I come from the British Isles and I have no doubt that I am one of the people referred to. If I had not at least as good a record as Sir James Lougheed or Mr. Fowler I do not think I would want to sit in the House of Commons. It seems to me that no man is a true Canadian who does not want to build up in Canada a great white civilization with brotherly friendship as its guiding star. I go further and say that I think such statements' as those which I have quoted show a lack of principle that one might not expect to find in a gentleman; nor do I think a gentleman would make such statements about any member of this House, and I for one resent it.


Mr. JAMES ARTHURS (Parry Sound):: Before discussing the budget, Mr. Speaker, I desire to add my congratulations to those already tendered the Minister of Finance (Mr. Fielding) upon the introduction of his eighteenth budget. I think other members have referred to it as the seventeenth, but if my memory serves me last session the hon. gentleman introduced practically two budgets, so one may say that this is his eighteenth.


An hon. MEMBER:: The seventeenth.


James Arthurs: The eighteenth I think.
I have listened with a great deal of interest to five or six, as the case may be, of those budgets. I have also listened to the hon. gentleman in opposition when he was the chief financial critic for his party, and I can assure him that he makes a better critic than he does a minister of finance so far as his budgets are concerned. I only hope he may long continue to be active in one of those two capacities,-preferably as financial critic of the opposition.
When the budget of 1922 was brought down the country awaited it with great interest. Almost everybody in Canada was anxious to hear the budget debate of that year, for they were eager to know whether the government would fulfil the promises contained in their 1919 platform and supplemented by various speeches from members of the government. But the friends of the government were disappointed. They found that this "immediate and general reduction of duties" as promised in the platform of 1919 did not materialize. They found that farm implements were not placed upon the free list, and that mill machinery and other implements of production were still on the old tariff basis. In a word, they found that none of the articles specifically mentioned in the platform of 1919 were put on the free list-not even cement. My right hon. friend, the Prime Minister, did me the honour to invade my constituency, and while the Minister of Finance says he did not subscribe to the platform of 1919, I can assure him quite confidently that his leader while in my county did subscribe to every plank of that platform in so many words.
It is quite true that in order to please our friends from the West there was a reduction made of 2i per cent in the duty on certain farm implements, but every cent of this was accounted for by an increase in the sales tax, so that to-day the farmer of the West has not benefited one cent by the reduction in duty. During the election of 1921 in my county, and I think in every other county in Ontario, our friends opposite held up the duty on boots and shoes as a horrible example of what a tariff might amount to. They took the duty of 30 per cent and pyramided it in various ways until they had it over 100 per cent; but we do not find that since our friends succeeded to office they have made any attempt to reduce this duty.
They also took various other ways of implementing their promises. For instance, they made a reduction of 5 per cent on milk bottles and also upon their paper covers, and they made porcelains for pumps absolutely free. That was the total extent of tariff reductions during 1922. But to offset this they increased our taxation in various; ways. As I have already intimated they increased the sales tax of 50 per cent and allowed it to pyramid in exactly the same way as before, with the result that for the last fiscal year they have collected approximately
The Budget-Mr. Arthurs

$31,000,000 more than they would have under the old rate. They also placed an additional tax upon cheques and upon receipts. The latter, Mr Speaker, is a very grievous and annoying burden upon the people of this country. If a drover comes along to a fanner and makes him a payment of $10 or $15 upon a purchase of cattle, the farmer is supposed to be able to immediately produce a two-cent stamp and place it upon his receipt.
I notice that the minister has seen fit to reduce the tax upon cheques. Last* session after considerable discussion he agreed that the tax should not be greater than two dollars; in other words, that cheques for $5,000 should go through for two dollars apiece. This year he has reduced that to $1 maximum. But the poor man who issues small cheques is still taxed in exactly the same way.


Mr. PUTNAM:: I suppose the rich man .gives many a small cheque?


James Arthurs: And he pays the tax; but if he gives a big cheque he gets off at half price.


Harold Putnam: If he gives a small cheque he helps the poor man to pay the tax.


James Arthurs: Why not let him pay the whole tax? It is just as reasonable that he should pay the same proportion of tax on cheques that he does on his income.


Harold Putnam: That is quite another matter. My hon. friend wanted to make the poor man out as being the only issuer of small cheques, which is absurd.


James Arthurs: What I say is that the tax is infinitely more on the poor man who issues small cheques than on the rich man who issues big cheques. The net result of the tariff of 1922 was to increase duties by three-quarters of one per cent on dutiable goods in another way, the net result was to increase the duty on all goods entering Canada, whether free or dutiable, by one-third of one per cent. But the friends of our friends opposite said, "This government has only been in power a few months.' They cannot do everything in a day; the best solution is to leave them alone for a year and wait until they bring down the budget of 1923." Well, we are here to-day to discuss the tariff of 1923. I am quite satisfied that our free trade friends, if we have any, outside of one hon. member who spoke this evening-I am quite satisfied that our Progressive friends, too, are disappointed, and that they find very little comfort in this budget of 1923. It is quite true there are certain small reductions. The minister has 
reduced the duty upon goods entering Canada from Great Britain by an average of 1-^ to 2J per cent, and outside of certain specific articles, I do not know that I quarrel with him in that respect; I think his intention was a good one. His idea seems to be to promote trade through Canadian ports, and so far as that is concerned I hold up both hands in favour of the minister's position. However,. there are certain articles-the woollen trade has already been brought to the attention of the minister-in connection with which the proposed change will entail great hardship. I am not going to take up the time of the House on that point; the minister knows the situation just as well as I do; he knows the difficulty that may ensue in that connection.
The minister has also reduced the duty on sugar by 50 cents a hundred. The average householder purchases in a year less than 200 pounds of sugar. The minister stated that the reduction in duty would amount to $1,250,000. I think I am correct in that figure.


Mr. FIELDING:: Two and a half millions.


James Arthurs: Well, any figure you like. This reduction is principally to manufacturers of candies and various lines of that kind. I have said that the average householder consumes less than 200 pounds of sugar annually; that would mean a reduction to him of one dollar per year. The minister in the next line of his tariff is adding to the duty on currants and raisins-multiplying it, in fact, by 41. He has increased it by 450 per cent- from two-thirds of a cent to 3 cents a pound. The housewife, therefore, will pay in the increased duty on currants and raisins every cent of the reduction on sugar.
The minister has also made a small reduction on scrap iron. I do not know whether or not that affects our friends from the West, but these are the only reductions of any moment in the tariff proposals of the minister. He is very careful to see that nothing but what is really scrap comes into the country, under the conditions of the amended tariff.
But the minister has also increased the duty in many ways, particularly on the ingredients that go into the manufacture of paint. In spite of the hon. minister's declaration of some years ago that he was not in favour of establishing any new industries in Canada at the expense of the taxpayer; that if a man undertook to establish a new industry and expected to have protection for it, his advice to him was, "Don't,"-I am not

The Budget-Mr. Arthurs
quoting his exact words, but I am giving the tenor of his remarks-in spite of that he has introduced duties which have been so far unheard of in Canada, though I am not saying that they are wrong. The first on the list is a duty of 35 cents per hundred pounds on potatoes. I think the hon. minister is right in doing that; he would be right if he followed the whole line of the Fordney tariff and gave our American friends some of the medicine they are trying to give us. But the minister did not enunciate that principle in years gone by; this procedure is contrary to his former declarations in this House.


Mr. MARTELL:: He has enunciated it now.


James Arthurs: He has had a change of heart. If he really feels that change of heart he should be on the other side of the House.


Mr. FINN:: How would you like him over there?


James Arthurs: 
Lewis Herbert Martell: What pledges?


James Arthurs: Tariff pledges. Perhaps there was an exception in the case of the province of Quebec, but hon. gentlemen went all over the country from the boundaries of the province of Quebec to Vancouver preaching lower duties, proclaiming that their tariff was exactly the same as that of our Progressive friends, and they were elected on that stand. They have repudiated that; to-day, as I have said, they have a tariff which is higher than the tariff they found in effect when they came into power.


Harold Putnam: Can the hon. gentleman name one authoritative Liberal who preached that during the campaign?


James Arthurs: The Prime Minister
preached it in my riding.


Harold Putnam: As I heard it from all the leaders-


James Arthurs: I am making this speech. The hon. gentleman has got my answer. There is one thing I overlooked to mention. The government did make an attempt to lower the cost of living, and they did it in this way: They arranged and presented to this House a treaty with France, whereby they give important concessions to that country-especially low duties on wines, silks, laces, handkerchiefs, ribbons, millinery, etc. The farmer and the workingman will be pleased to know that the duty on silk has been reduced to 20 per cent, while the duty on printed and dyed cotton fabrics remains at 25, 30 and 324 per cent in respect to all other countries. They have reduced the duty on velvets from 324 to 20 per cent; on French laces from 274 per cent to 15 per cent; on perfumery from 32 per cent to 25 per cent; on feathers and ornaments for hats, from 274 to 224 per cent. And in respect to all these items the reductions apply not only to France but to Switzerland, Japan and various other countries under the favoured nation clause. I may point out that it is a good way to lose revenue but a very poor way to reduce the cost of living. Every dollar of revenue that is lost owing to the negotiation of this treaty 

and it will amount to upwards of a million dollars-must be paid in some way, and it will be made up by the man who is subject to direct taxation; there is no question about that. I am sure that our prohibition friends -they have not any in Quebec, I presume,
The Budget-Mr. Arthurs

but elsewhere there are some-will be pleased to know that the minister has reduced the excise duty on native wines from 30 cents to 7i cents per gallon, or from 6 cents to li cents a bottle. I am quite sure that Mr. Raney will agree with the minister in that particular.


George Perry Graham: Mr. Raney approves of it.


James Arthurs: Are you sure of that?


George Perry Graham: Native wine is provided for in his act.


James Arthurs: I want to say a word in regard to the 6 per cent sales tax. The minister has claimed that the new tax will not be pyramided. Well, as a matter of straight business, the tax of 6 per cent upon the manufacturer will, before it reaches the retailer, be upwards of 10 per cent. We will take it that the average rate of profit from the manufacturer to the jobber or wholesaler is 20 per cent upon the original cost of the goods. That will increase this sales tax from $6 to $7.20. The usual profit to the retailer is 33 1/3 per cent or upwards. If we take it at an average of 33 1/3 per cent we find that the tax when it reaches the consumer amounts to $9.60 instead of $6. Or in other words for every $6 of money that the government receives the consumer pays $9.60.
Now, Mr. Speaker, I want to say a few words upon an entirely different matter. The government have not stated to parliament what their attitude will be regarding the Crowsnest pass agreement in the future. We have a provisional arrangement putting the Crowsnest pass agreement into operation. It has been in effect for one year during which time the railway companies claim they have suffered a loss in receipts of $20,000,000. Now I contend that every dollar of that is at the expense of the eastern shipper. Before the Crowsnest pass agreement was put into force last year the railway companies approached parliament, and the country, and offered a reduction of approximately 7i per cent on all basic articles. This would give a fairer rate upon lumber, brick, cement, and all kinds of farm products both in the'East and in the; West. Northern Ontario, from which I come depends largely upon the production of lumber, pulp-wood, ties, etc., the production of which furnishes employment for thousands of men. The hon. member who spoke immediately before me commended the minister for placing a bounty upon copper, on the ground that it would employ from 500 to 1,000 men. I can safely say that the tie and pulp industries in northern Ontario employ ten times that
TMr. Arthurs.]
number of men every year, and in many years twice that number. During the war, and since, the rates upon these various articles have been increased by 100 per cent. To-day we find in northern Ontario that where the men previously received $80 to $90 a month with board-and I am speaking of northern Quebec just as much as northern Ontario- they now receive from $26 to $35 per month and board. We find that the farmer up there, who is *he principal producer of pulpwood, is faced with a condition that leaves him in very poor shape financially. We all know that the price of lumber, ties, pulpwood, and other materials of this nature is fixed at the point of delivery. Well, the farmer receives that price but it is a fact that in many cases in northern Ontario he pays more for freight rates upon this lumber than he receives for the timber, for his work upon that timber upon his piling, loading and everything else included. These are absolute facts, and I believe that in the interest of this country, something should be done to relieve these men from the present condition which is almost intolerable.
Now I want to say a few words upon the immigration question.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


James Arthurs: I am away from the tariff question now. I want to point out that in 1914, before the war, our immigration amounted to 403,000. In 1920, soon after the war finished, it amounted to 117,000, in 1921 it was 148,000, and last year, 89,000, steadily dropping as hon. members will notice
The Acting Minister of Immigration and Colonization (Mr. Stewart), when he explained his policy the other day, brought forward no solution of the immigration question. His main effort, apparently, was to hand over -I was going to say to some private individuals but it is not necessarily so-to some company $100,000 provided they induced 200 families to settle upon land in western Canada ; or in other words to give them a bonus of $500 per family. I can assure him that if he hands that money over to even the Drury government we will get better results than that in Ontario alone. I listened with a great deal of interest to the debate on* immigration. I did not speak, but I found there were as many opinions expressed as there were members speaking, and they were not all confined to one side of the House. On the government side there were-I will not say renegades-but some men who at least were not in favour of the policy as announced by the government.

Tht Budget-Mr. Arthurs


Mr. CANNON:: Who were they?


James Arthurs: The hon. member for Pontiac (Mr. Cahill), the hon. member for St. Lawrence-St. George (Mr. Marler), the hon. member for George Etienne Cartier (Mr. Jacobs). These were the notable and upstanding figures on the government side.


Lucien Cannon: Who said that?


James Arthurs: The hon. members referred to said it themselves. They said they were opposed to the policy of the government. The difference of opinion among the members of the Progressive party was even worse than among the members on the government side. We found the hon. member for Brandon (Mr. Forke) saying that we should have all the immigrants we could and he would not confine them to agriculturists, he wanted mechanics and artisans. The hon. members behind him entered into what I might almost call a Marathon to see who could make the darkest and worst picture of the conditions in their own particular county. I am quite certain that I never heard before in this House-even in the old days when the Liberals were in opposition and used to use some strong expressions about the conditions of the country-I never heard a more depressing speech, or one of such a blue ruin character, than that made by the hon. member for Bow River (Mr. Garland) wherein he said that there were already in his province 20,000 bankrupt and the rest were going through as fast as they could. The only bon. member, in my opinion, who beat him as a blue ruin artist was the hon. member for Brant (Mr. Good). He said that if we wanted men to go on the farm we ought to import Asiatics, that they were the only men who would stay there at the present time, and he commended that policy to the government apparently in all earnestness. Our friends in Toronto have a different policy. They are going through the country to-day claiming that they have a policy which will put men on the farm only. As a matter of fact I read in a newspaper, either to-day or yesterday, that some men imported from Stornoway under this policy had gone into some other employment-I will not say what it was-and the provincial government were going to deport them because they did not stay on the farm. It was a brewery.
I was glad to hear the statement of the Minister of Agriculture (Mr- Motherwell) that he was at the present time paying attention to the northern parts of Ontario and Quebec. I come from northern Ontario, and I may tell hon. members of this House that
there are millions of acres of land there available at the present time, which will make the finest homesteads in Canada. Some of this land is timbered and some is burnt over. Preferably the best land is the timbered land. That will probably seem strange to our western friends, but the timber on the land provides work for the men during the winter and gives them an income, so they can go ahead and clean up the soil. The best residents of Canada are the men in these northern districts. While the agricultural population of Ontario has been decreasing in most parts, the agricultural population of northern Ontario has been increasing each and every census, and will continue to increase, and I think it would be wise if the minister would make an effort to populate that part of the country. I commend the minister for his consideration in the matter. We do not grow wheat up there, but the man who grows the most wheat is the poorest man, according to the theories of my hon. friends to the left of me. No part of Ontario is better adapted for cattle raising or ordinary mixed farming than this district. It is quite true that some of these men have suffered misfortunes on account of fires, but we find them going ahead and rebuilding their homes, and a year from now they will be in better position than before the fire, because the land will have been burnt over and cleaned.
I remember thirty years ago we had a slump in ^he lumber market in northern Ontario, and many of the men from my county left their farms in the Parry Sound district and went west, most of them going to Alberta. To-day there is not one of those farms that is not in better condition than when these men left it. Our farmers are succeeding. Many men have come in, have occupied the farms for a while, have turned the farms over to their sons and have retired to small villages having made enough to keep them according to their ideas. I think this matter should be brought more prominently to the attention of those incoming settlers whom we hope to receive in Canada. The hon. leader of the Progressive party (Mr. Forke) said that he quite agreed with the minister in certain particulars, but he thought they required a different class of settlers. He said if we had to populate northern Ontario or northern Quebec wTe should have the men who would lead the simple life. I do not know whether in the West they lead a double life or not; if they do, perhaps that will account for some of their troubles. But I can assure him that conditions in northern Ontario are just as good in every way as in other parts of the
3038	, COMMONS
The Budget-Mr. Denis (St. Denis)
country. We have roads, schools and everything that the West can offer the settler- even Ford cars.
As I said before, I am in favour of an immigration policy of this kind.


Mr. ARTHUR DENIS (Saint Denis) (Translation) :: Mr. Speaker, since this debate has
begun, many speeches have been made, many views have been expressed, but I think this discussion, which is not lacking in importance, would have been better appreciated by the country, if the speakers had restricted themselves to the subject matter of the budget. Unfortunately, such was not the case. The interests at large were sacrificed, or rather relegated to the back ground, for the benefit of a certain group, a certain class, or a portion of the country to the detriment of the public's interests. Are these, Sir, the duties incumbent on a loyal representative of the people? I do not think so, and if a number of members are guided by such ideas they have a wrong conception of their responsibilities. I was much impressed by the eloquent speech delivered by the hon. Minister of Finance. His excellent work calls for my most sincere congratulations. He is truly the man of the hour-the best man in the right place. If the country enjoyed an era of prosperity under the regime of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, between 1896 and 1911, it is due to the hon. Minister of Finance, the same person who, at present, is in our midst. From 1911 to 1921, the Conservative party was at the helm of the affairs of the country, with the result you all know. The country was beset by many evils. Not satisfied with having increased our national debt by hundreds of millions or having burdened the people with heavy taxes, they forced, through an infamous and anti-Canadian Act, our sons to cross the seas to shed their blood on the plains of Europe. While this was going on our Ministers-a few of their silhouettes I notice on the cold benches of the opposition-were scattering the public moneys in the name of freedom and civilization under the double cloak of war and the British flag.
On December 6, 1921, the day of relief came, forever honoured in the history of our beautiful country. The people, aroused and disgusted, drove from power these ravenous wolves so as to bring back to power the country's former benefactors.
Barely a few months have elapsed since the Liberal party, under the wise and progressive-not progressist-direction of its leader, the Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, took hold of the administration of the country, that the clouds which darkened the horizon are scattering, unveiling a ray of hope, 
to the great satisfaction of the people of this country. There is considerable improvement in the financial situation, thanks to the wisdom, experience and ability of the hon. Minister of Finance. The period of deficits is coming to an end and would already be a thing of the past had we not inherited from the late regime the National Railways and Merchant Marine which alone absorb 1100,000,000 of our revenues per year.
Thanks to the economy being now practised, before long the budget will balance itself and the taxes imposed through the necessity of the moment will, to the satisfaction of all, disappear. I deem it my duty to congratulate the hon. Minister of Finance for having made progress in that direction, in relieving us of certain taxes on the necessities of life, thus lightening the burden of the consumer, and allowing industries which employ a great number of hands, to better remunerate them. I wish further to extend to him our thanks for having suppressed the retail sales tax so as to collect it at the source of production and on imports.
Before resuming my seat, Mr. Speaker, there is one subject to which I want to draw the attention of the hon. Minister of Finance: it is the income tax.
To be brief and so as not to take up the time of the House with useless repetitions, I shall simply state that I entirely approve the few suggestions which were put forth by the hon. member for Chambly-Vercheres (Mr. Archambault). I favour giving an exemption of $500 instead of $300 for each child. I am in favour of exempting the head of a family of all taxes on a revenue of less than $5,000.
I support the suggestion of allowing an exemption for all children who are going through a course of study. I would also like to see a tax on dividends drawn from all investments in companies, wholly apart from the tax already imposed on the general business of these companies. The husband and wife having property in common should each benefit of an exemption of $2,000; in a word, they should be looked upon as if they were separated as to property, according to the spirit of the Income Tax Act.
I feel confident that the hon. minister will give to these few suggestions his serious consideration and that a bill purporting to such an arrangement will meet with the general assent of this House.
One last word, Mr. Speaker, I have full confidence that the present government will know how to carry on efficiently the country's affairs. I confide in their sense of justice and patriotism and for those reasons, I shall vote

The Budget-Mr. Leader
against the amendment and in favour of the main motion.
In giving such a vote, I am absolutely satisfied that I will have done my duty towards my country and the electors that I have the honour of representing.


Mr. HARRY LEADER (Portage la Prairie) :: Mr. Speaker, I am certainly not desirous of rising to make a speech at this late hour, but I have a duty to perform. I have the advantage of hon. members who have been in constant attendance in this House, in the fact that I have been able to go home and have a week's vacation on the farm. While that is an advantage, in that I feel fresh in comparison with some hon. members present, it is a disadvantage as well because what I have to say may be a repetition, as I was not in this House to listen to the speeches and I have not had time to read them. If, however, I wander far afield, I know Mr. Speaker will call me to order.
While I was in the West, news of the budget that had'been delivered here had travelled that far, and the man or the woman is a rare bird, indeed, who is in favour of the budget as it was brought down this year. The western people are almost a unit, so far as I can see or hear, in condemning this budget that was delivered in 1923. This morning I received a resolution passed by the District Board of the constituency of Portage la Prairie, and I should like to read it to the House, if hon. members will bear with me. It reads:
Portage la Prairie, May 19, 1923. Mr. H. Leader, M.P.,
Parliament Bldgs.,
Ottawa, Canada.
Dear Sir:
I am instructed by the district Board of the Constituency of Portage la Prairie to forward to you the following.
Whereas the national prosperity is mainly dependent on the development of those interests native to the country, and whereas a tariff based on the principles of protection bears unduly on those natural industries thus retarding production and the development of our natural resources, to the point that agriculture can scarcely maintain itself and is becoming completely demoralized, and whereas the present government gave definite promise in its platform of 1919 to remove the duty on at least the necessities of life and the implements of production. Therefore be it resolved that we recognize the tariff proposals of the Hon. Mr. Fielding as breaking faith with the people of Canada, and further we stand unalterably opposed to the principle of protection being recognized in formulating tariff proposals. And we further express our wholehearted approval of the amendment proposed by Mr. Forke, leader of the Progressives.
James McKenzie.
Mr. James McKenzie is one of the old-time Liberals of Portage plains. I think I am safe
in saying that on this committee of seventeen or twenty-one, I do not know which, not more than two members are not former Liberals; they all condemn the budget that has been brought down, and they are firmly of opinion that the Liberal party has betrayed the people of this country.
There are in the budget things that we could, perhaps, say a good word for. I should like to say-and when I say this, I know it will not meet with the approval of many of my Progressive colleagues-that as a good Canadian I approve the preference for British goods entering Canada via Canadian ports. The government might have carried out that part of their platform very easily at this time. I think they should increase the British preference to at least 50 per cent. They have a great opportunity in view of the fact that Britain has come to our aid and lifted the embargo in order to allow our cattle to enter the Old Country. The government might have reciprocated and increased the British preference to 50 per cent in accordance with their platform. My idea would be to work the duty off altogether and to admit British goods into Canada via Canadian ports duty free.
There is one phase in connection with this budget that I should like to see rectified, and that is as regards the stamp tax. Last year when the grain dealers were buying wheat from the 'Canadian farmers, in the settlement for grain they issued their cheques; they put stamps on them, and they charged the stamps back to the farmers. This was the cause of considerable annoyance and there was a great deal of opposition to it. In my own case I did not like it. It was not universal; they could not say that it was a rule of the Grain Exchange, because they violated that rule many times. The first car I sold to Smith-Murphy, they either forgot to charge the stamp tax back, or they did not think it worth while to do so. As regards the second car, in sending me back settlement, they charged me up with the stamps. I wrote them saying that I felt inclined to contest this right, and they wrote back claiming that they had every right in the world to do so. I went to a lawyer thinking that we would make a test case, and I was advised by the lawyer that unless I had plenty of money to spend, it would, perhaps, be better to drop the matter. That is rather unusual advice from a lawyer. I was advised to write to the law officers of the Crown in Ottawa. I did so, and after consideration on their part, I received a letter in reply stating that there was no doubt that the law called for stamps to be placed on every cheque, but that the question
The Budget-Mr. Leader

as to who should pay for the stamps was a matter of settlement between the parties interested. This simply meant that I had no redress in that direction unless I went into a lawsuit. I then took the matter up with the Board of Grain Commissioners at Fort William, and while I will not read all of the letter I received in reply, it says in part:
In reply to your inquiry of November 1st, I have to advise that the matter referred to therein does not come within the jurisdiction of this board.
What I should like to know is who has jurisdiction over this matter. If any organization or body in this country can issue a cheque, put stamps on it and compel the other fellow to pay for the stamps, that looks to me like special privilege. I should like to know if the Grain Exchange has this special privilege. If it has, we want to know that fact, and I do not think it should enjoy that privilege.
I should like for a few moments to speak about the cattle trade. I might say that I am a practical cattle raiser; I have put a good deal of money into the business, and I am desirous of raising for export the very best class of steers that I possibly can. We have hopes of increasing the revenues from our farm by going into the live stock business. It, however, rather takes the heart out of a man when he has reached that stage of investing his hard-earned capital in an industry and when he is producing what the market demands, to find some big interest step in and take the cream off. That has happened as regards our freight rates. The lifting of the embargo should mean a great stimulus to stock breeding but ocean rates are too high, and they are robbing the farmers of their legitimate profits. A lower tariff should be established and maintained by the action of the government. I see the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Motherwell) is in his seat. I notice on reading Hansard that he says:
The reason I take this matter up now is because on several occasions there have been intimations of a more or less insinuating character made with respect to this matter. As a matter of fact, the hon. member for Portage la Prairie (Mr. Leader) came out frankly and intimated gross negligence on the part of the Department of Agriculture with respect to this matter.
I did say that, and I think I could prove the charge. The Minister of Agriculture made the statement that he had inquired of Sir Henry Thornton and had been told that it would take at least $32,000 to fit up each ship to take our cattle overseas. Let me quote from the Winnipeg Free Press of May 17:
But if Mr. Motherwell had this information, why did his deputy as late as December 13, 1922, make I Mr. Leader.]
this statement to the members of the Western Canada Live-Stock Union-
Who met in Brandon last winter.
-"Canada owns a number of vessels and I have been trying to influence the department to put some of these vessels at the disposal of the cattle interests. I hope the government will make a move in the matter. These vessels are not very large, nor are they as seaworthy as they might be, but they could be utilized in the spring and fall trade."


Mr. MOTHERWELL:: Dr. Grisdale, my deputy, made the statement, which he is reported to have made, in December, before Sir Henry Thornton was in charge, while Sir Henry Thornton's statement was made in March. That is the difference.


Harry Leader: Evidently the department had under consideration the question of fixing up the vessels to take care of the trade. As I said before, I think I could substantiate ' the charge I made in this matter.


William Richard Motherwell: I do not think the hon. member meant it very seriously. It was just a little play in the game.


Harry Leader: I might point out that in a newspaper report it was stated that even the dumb beasts themselves objected to the attitude of the government, for the very first steer that landed on the other side upset the representative of the government.


William Richard Motherwell: Perhaps they had been celebrating.


Harry Leader: I happened to see a letter written by the president of the Scottish Farmers' Union-Mr. Elliott, I believe the gentleman's name is-in which he stated that $160,000,000 was paid for Irish cattle last year.
I think that Canada might very well get a share of this trade.


Harold Putnam: I do not think that there is necessarily a difference between the statement of Dr. Grisdale and that of the Minister of Agriculture.


Harry Leader: If there is a difference, it is this, that the deputy did try to persuade the government as late as last December, and the government had cognizance of the fact, that we needed vessels. The Deputy Minister of Agriculture was trying to induce them to get those vessels ready to take care of the trade that would open up this spring.


Harold Putnam: The minister said that they could be utilized. The Minister of Agriculture found out that they could be utilized but at great cost.


William Richard Motherwell: Will my hon. friend (Mr. Leader) be good enough to tell us

The Budget-Mr. Leader
wherein I was remiss in my duty in this matter? I know he does not want to be unfair.


Harry Leader: I have no desire whatever to be disrespectful, for I have every admiration for the Minister of Agriculture; but I rather think that he himself has been playing politics so far as this question is concerned. I see by Hansard that he made the statement that it was owing to the advertising of the number of cattle that we were going to ship overseas that the shipowners put up their rates. Well, if anyone did any boosting it was Mr. Duncan Marshall, the representative of the government, who went over to England and made the statement that at least
200,000	head of cattle would be shipped over this year.


William Richard Motherwell: Where is your
authority for that statement?


Harry Leader: It was in the Free Press.


William Richard Motherwell: A bad authority.


Harry Leader: I thunk the Minister of Agriculture should quit playing politics in this matter, should put away all camouflage, and make an honest-to-goodness attempt to foster this great branch of the live stock industry.
I would bring to the attention of the House the question of the recent floods in Manitoba. This is almost an annual occurrence in my constituency, where the Assiniboine river overflows its banks. There have been some delegations here to interview the government and I have been in touch with the Minister of Public Works (Mr. King, Kootenay) myself. A telegram was sent to me the other day concerning this matter, which I shall read to the House. It is from the secretary of the Elie branch of the United Farmers:
A meeting was held to discuss flood conditions on May 12th 1923 at Dacotah Man. of farmers and even in spite of conditions of roads caused by flood the farmers of the district were well represented. After a general discussion of seriousness of flood conditions caused by over-flow of Assiniboine river the following resolution was passed:
"Be it resolved that in view of the immense damage caused on the south side of the Assiniboine river, and this being the second flood in two weeks flooding thousand of acres each time the area covered being at least fifteen miles long and several miles wide, and this being a repetition of last year when land was covered with water after crop was in causing suffering and ruin to farmers, most farmers having to move out for first flood, having feed and seed ruined, then moving back and seeding, and then having the second flood, thousand of acres will not be reseeded this year, and in this instance the flooded condition being over seven miles from the river and this being only fractional part of damages, this meeting urges that the government do something to remedy the situation."
In regard to the condition of affairs out there, I am of the opinion, as I stated last year to the Minister of Public Works of the province of Manitoba as well as to the federal minister, that concerted action should be taken to meet the situation. This is a matter that calls for the consideration of the municipalities, which I think should work in conjunction with the provincial and the federal governments. I believe that they could arrive at some plan of concerted action that would provide adequate measures to cope with this annual difficulty.
I want to say a word in regard to the' National Railways, which constitute one of the biggest items of our expenditure. The only solution for our railway problem is more traffic and efficient management. The people are realizing this and are giving the National Railways more and more patronage, while the employees are anxious to give good service so that the railways may pay. Going home a short time ago I fell in with a gentleman who was just coming back from England. I might observe, by the way, that I never miss an opportunity of seeking information in regard to our National Railways, and I got into conversation with this gentleman. He had been in this country for thirteen years and he told me that he was a booster for the Canadian National Railway system. He said that in Great Britain this government, as previous governments had done, was maintaining an immigration office to secure immigrants to Canada. When any immigrant went to the office he inquired how he would travel if he wanted to get to Battleford, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton or any other centre in Canada. The immigration agent would inform him that there were two railway systems in this country, the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian National Railway, both first-class. The emigrant goes home and the next day gets a stack of circulars from the Canadian Pacific Railway glorifying that system. Of course, we admire them for this, because they are after the business; but the fact is that the emigrant gets not one word with regard to the Canadian National Railways. I am not criticizing our railways, but I hope that whatever I say in this respect, which is intended for the benefit of the system, will be taken into consideration and be accepted in the proper spirit, and that if there are any irregularities they will be rectified at once. Owing to a slight accident on the road we were three hours late getting into Winnipeg. This man had his wife and two daughters and an aged mother, eighty years old, whom he went to England to bring out to this coun-
The Budget-Mr. Leader

try. We had to be transferred from the train we were on to another train over about a quarter of a mile of rooky country, and it will be readily understood what a trial this was for the aged lady. We were three hours late arriving at Winnipeg. The conductor of the train told these good people that as they were billed right through to Vancouver they would not have to be transferred to another car in Winnipeg and could go to bed. Arriving in Winnipeg orders were given to transfer them to another car, and this old lady, who had been in bed about two and a half hours, had again to be disturbed. There was another woman with three small children of four years, two years and three months respectively, and these, too, had to be transferred to another car. The confusion may be imagined.


George Perry Graham: Will my hon. friend give me the date?


Harry Leader: It would be a week ago Sunday night. What I am trying to get at is that people will patronize the road that gives them service. When this man arrived in Winnipeg, he said, "I have been a booster for the Canadian National System, but I have been sold." He did not go so far as to say he was through with the system, but he was evidently very much disgusted. The conductors were not to blame, it was some one higher up. I do not want to get anyone into trouble, but I am anxious to see our railways given a fair chance. Some of the passengers on that train inquired if they had time to go down to a restaurant to get something to eat, and they were advised by some of the officials that the train would be despatched as soon as possible. They waited for a time, and then they were informed that it would not go out until twelve o'clock. When they got down to the restaurant they found it closed.


George Perry Graham: The Montreal restaurant of the Grand Trunk closes at midnight.


Harry Leader: Perhaps that is customary; anyway it was not conducive to a good frame of mind among these people. I find the equipment of the Canadian National Railway is just as good as that of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the employees are just as anxious as their rivals to make everyone comfortable. In a word they are trying to get business for the people's system. And I believe that the people in general are beginning to realize that they must patronize their own road if they ever expect to have it on a paying basis. We admire the Canadian Pacific Railway, but we have got to give the public just as good service on our national system if we are going

to get their patronage. I went to the trouble of finding out how many cattle have been shipped from Winnipeg since the British embargo was lifted, and how they were routed. I found that over twelve hundred were transported by the Canadian Pacific Railway and around nine hundred by the Canadian National. The Canadian Pacific are getting the business. I was told by a man who claimed he knew the facts that twenty-five carloads of Canadian cattle that should have been shipped over the Canadian National Railway were switched at the last moment to the Canadian Pacific Railway at Winnipeg. I am offering these criticisms not to knock our national railway, but to build up the system and see if we cannot convert these deficits into surpluses.
What I have now to say will interest the Minister of Labour (Mr. Murdock). Does he remember Riley's army? This has a vital connection with the revenue of our railways. Some members of the government have stated they are not in favour of public ownership, while other ministers have said, "We are willing to give public ownership of our railways a trial. It is a legacy bequeathed to us by the previous government* and we will do our best with it." Well, last year Riley's army marched down to Ottawa. They were transported back to Toronto not over the Canadian National Railway but over the Canadian Pacific. The Minister of Labour will correct me if I am wrong, but I understand a special train from Ottawa to Toronto costs $800.


Mr. MURDOCK:: The gentleman is wrong.


Harry Leader: Can you tell me how much a special train costs?


James Murdock: I think 150 minimum fares; but every passenger would have to pay the minimum fare, which, as I recall, was $7.85. That is what was paid by the government for transporting Riley's army back to Toronto.


Harry Leader: Am I right in saying that the amount paid the Canadian Pacific Railway was $1,428?


James Murdock: I forget the exact figure. The question was answered in the House and the information appears in Hansard. There was a very substantial reason for sending Riley's army back to Toronto by the Canadian Pacific Railway-a reason which I am sure the hon. member would admit to be am pi j if he knew the facts.


Harry Leader: The point I want to make is that this money was paid to the Canadian Pacific Railway when it might have gone into the revenues of the people's railway. This system should pay very shortly if we all

The Budget-Mr. Leader
do our duty by it. We hear quite a lot about government interference with the management of the Canadian National Railways, but I do not see how we can give Sir Henry Thornton a free hand so long as we are footing the bill. That is why I am addressing these remarks to the Minister of Railways (Mr. Graham), who I hope will take them into consideration and see if he cannot prevent the repetition of such mistakes. Other matters have come under my personal observation, but I do noc deem it wise to make them public here tonight. However, I shall be very pleased to have an interview with the minister and convey this further information to him with a view to getting things fixed up.
What I am about to say now will not be very popular. In view of the fact that our public debt was increased nearly fifty million dollars this year, and is very likely to be increased to about the same extent next year, I want to declare that the government plea for economy is not sincere. I will tell you why. I introduced a resolution some time ago, and hon. members know with what favour it was met. I do not say that opposition came all from the other side of the House. But I do know that the government are creating new offices and paying out high salaries, and if they were honestly anxious 1o economize they would not do this. I need mention only two specific cases-Mr. Duncan Marshall's appointment at a salary of $6,000 a year and expenses of $15 a day; and Dr. Pugsley's at a salary of $9,000 a year.


George Perry Graham: Might I correct the hon. gentleman? I think he will find that the Hon. Dr. Pugsley's salary is not paid by the people of Canada.


Harry Leader: Then I do not know from what other source it can come.


George Perry Graham: Alien enemies' property.


Harry Leader: I had quite an experience
when I introduced my resolution for the reduction of indemnities and I am convinced that it is no use for a private member to introduce such a resolution. Economies along these lines must come from the government; they must have the endorsation of the government. Yesterday a Conservative member-I forget his name-and to-night the hon. member for St. Lawrence division (Mr. Marler), suggested that there was too much extravagance in the administration of the affairs of the country. The hon. member to my right declared that there were three or four cabinet ministers absent during the session at the very
time their presence was needed in Ottawa, if it was ever needed here. But you are getting along quite well, and I think you can do it always. The United States only has ten cabinet ministers, and I do not believe they are a bit better than you people are. I think we could get along here with ten, too.


James Murdock: My understanding is that the United States cabinet ministers do not have to attend sessions of congress until one o'clock in the morning.


Harry Leader: I am going to draw my
remarks to a close-and perhaps that is the most popular thing I have said to-night. I want to say frankly that I met most of the ministers for the first time since coming here;
I have had personal dealings with them, and they have always treated me with courtesy and have been willing to do anything they could for me. But I think we have too many of them; that is the only fault I have to find with them.


James Murdock: Where would you start trimming?


Harry Leader: It might not be nice to
say-you heard what the hon. member to my right said. While others have congratulated the Minister of Finance I would rather extend my congratulations to the member for Brome (Mr. McMaster) who has shown by his speech and actions to-night that political morality is not dead.


William Richard Motherwell: What is the matter with the rest of us morally?


Harry Leader: I would like to congratu- " late the Manitoba Free Press, that journal that the Minister of Agriculture seems to take exception to. I want to congratulate the manager, whoever is in charge-I do not know who is. There was_ a time when I was not in sympathy with the doctrines taught by the Free Press or with the men who guided its policy. I understand that Sir Clifford Sifton is still guiding the destinies of the Free Press, and I want to take this opportunity of congratulating him for the stand he is taking for the common people of this country.
Canada, in common with other countries, is crying out for honest men to guide and guard her destiny, and that destiny is what God meant it to be-a great free British commonwealth, inhabited by a prosperous and contented people.
On motion of Mr. Casgrain the debate was adjourned.
