He -believed thatwe need men of ' various training in Parliament. _ Grain Growers` Co. Blamed Speaking of the Western situation, the Premier said that the Grain Growers or- ganization was responsible largely. for the spread in grain prices between producer -and buyer. Mr. Crerar is one of the heads of that oganization. Much of the money that concern handles, he believed, was invested in the Grain Growers Guide and other._ journals for `V purposes of political propa- ganda to help` make Mr. Crerar the Prem- . ier of Canada. And'out of that scheme, too, Mr. Crerar, in his. opinion, hoped to win the farmer. ` i I" i=r}.:ei_}._,"i'x his mind, nnabled a coun- try to` have rivalry `and occupation to suit. -John A.`Mm:dox_1ald and Edward Blake ,saw that reciprocity was not for Canada, he reminded. ' " - Regarding the depopulation cry, he again -asserted that here, too, protection applied, lemphasizing, `however, that -population is `not everything. China has population." He believed, too, that it was an outrage} to let hordes of Europeans into Canada to sacrice our workmen who cannot com- rete with their standard of living. And the same applied to their products, duty .free.- Thus. he argued, the Progressives scheme would help only the manufacturers of other countries, and the United States in partic- ular. He believed that many plants in Can- ada would haveto close under the King or Crerar policy; while under protection On- tario -alone -will double her billion dollar production, because of `the nearness of her market right here at home. A, A`, LL. ` ...p.-v.u Va A uauv In reference to the pathetic picture of the farmer and his condition as drawn by class government .iadvocates, Mr. Meighen rid- iculed it by `reading passages from an offic- ial Ontario Government -pamphlet which advertised Ontario and described it as at"- fording with moderate means greater `op- portunities `than `any other part of the world. Mr. Drury, Hon. Manning Doherty and the Farmers Sun. were responsible for this roseate view, while their co-operating` `political friends had painted the patheticl -pictme on the same canvas. One of these artists had gotten the wrong perspective, `the Minister showed. l I favor reciprocity with countries that have commodities we need and who have not the articles we produce. If the whole world had free trade it might work out. `but even then the smaller country would: be at a disadvantage," and in this con- nection he -referred to the position of Eng- land, where it had been found necessary since the war to adopt a measure of pro- tection.- All nations excepting Canada had raised their tariff. ~ ` [ .. .-.-w, ya Iv: a.uuun;ac A/Au | i To "show what the United States farmers thought of the reciprocity pact, their or- ganization, the `Grange, a non-political one. with a membershipof a million, had sent a deputation to Washington to propose a high wall against -Canadian invasion when business depression came. The Fordney Bill resulted, `barring Canada from a mar- ket for many of its products. With free trade obtaining, their surplus would roll in ' here.

At any other time, said Mr. I 1 1 1 1' 1 1 _ Meighen, this .observation by ourf] friends would not be worthy of dis- p 1 cussion. However,- I shall explain`; that these notes did not mean defer- red payment. The Government holds 1 first lien on assets of. the company ( which amount to twenty-eight or 1 thirty million dollars. By accepting ,1 the notes the Government was not 1 only secured, Mr. Meighen said, but i that employment to hundreds or peo- I ple had been maintained, and that f the notes showed good business be- C` cause they bear seven per cent. in- t terest. ,;He assured his audience that t the-.1~e was no chance for loss. 3 What U. 8.
