Miss Maq: hail's Budget Speech Miss AGNES WACPHAIL (South- east Grey): Mr. Speaker, the few re- marks that I intend to make should reallv not be dignified bv the name of address or speech, but I felt that one could not vote for or againsr the budget without saying something about it. As a matter of fwt. one vofp on this budget is no goJH; one would need half a dozen votes in s>ny case. It is impossible with one vote to .say whether one is in favor of or against a budget that r:mgus all the way from A to Z, f- - oni black to whU> or white to black, whichever way vou like to take it. The budget brought down by the Minister 01 Finance (Mr. Dunning) on the first of May is quite clearly designed to catch votes: I would call it a vote getting budget. If it does not get the votes, it will certainly disappoint its parents. It is a bud- get than can be easily picked to nieces. Some parts cf it look very attractive to certain sections of Canada. For instance, one can im- agine supporters of the government waxing eloquent in the least on the iron and steel protection: in the west they could make a very good speech on the British preference, both what is real and a. larger por- tion of it that is only ppnarent The protection on vegetables and fiv.ii J '"i" we n i n British Columbia in 1 spite of the speeches that we had thi; afternoon, though it may n fhat they would like best to have the Conservatives bring do-.vn th protectionist policy. In the Niagart di=trirt the same nr'- 1 ->ctiop nn fruits and vegetables will, I suppose sound well to the ears of those who want Mr. CHAPLIN: It will not got the Liberal party anv votes. Miss MACPHAIL: I do not know about that. We shall learn that afte- the election. As regards the bean growers, someone who repre- sents a bean-growing constituency- anrl is a government supporter can make a splendid speech about what caro the government is tnking of that particular industry. Tbo dairy farmers throughout Canada are t b" pleased bv the abrogation o* the New Zealand treaty and the womc" are to be made hanny by cheap t.ia ml dishes. What I want to "sic thf Li'r>p--al partv is th'i; Do thfv think that public confidence is won by a budget like that after all ttie talk that we have heard about the the Liberals being a low tariff party and all the pleadings that we havr> heard on the hustings in the years gone by to come into the Lib- eral camn and not divide the low tariff forces? The "thing that I have been asking mvself slice this debate began on the 1st of May is. -vhore arc the l"w t-riff Liberals? Mr. THORSON: Where are the low tariff Progressives ? Miss MACPHAIL: I am not a Pro- gressive I am a United Farmer, snd I am low tariff. Has the severity of party discipline silence 1 everv one oi the low tariff Liberals: I can iust imagine one of the sag-- old Liberals in the country there are still a few of them in my county and in others asking themselves, whore is the Liberal party going? I had difficulty enough to tell one of th" mo.i'ir parties from the other bforr i the 1st of May. but now I find it rfuite impossible. They are ju=>t two groups of friends divided bv th-? green carpet, one sittiig to the right of the Speaker and the other to *? left.
