MIR. Beveridge expressed the opinion
that fresh meats and meat food pro-

that barley should not be, but

of Canada.
Every element of the situation Is
An unanswerable argument for init

Those elements are peculiar. They
exist as to no other counsry and peo-
pie in the world. They exist only

United States.
Therefore they require a policy as
different from that which we apply
TO other countries as these unique

inquired o the cost of living can
be reduced IL the prices of farm prod

to prevent higher prices for the neces-

What reciprocity is there in put

said this would be answered later.
Mr.. Smith fRepublican). of Michi-

its benefits, he said.

The present limited production OF
Canada Will not lessen the cost much
