Crerar‘s address in part to the Canadian Club, Hamilton, on May 10th last, on the subject of the Economical Relationship of Eastern and Western Canada. "Free land is a thing of the past. The ‘best land has been taken and people who now wish to settle in the west must buy their own farms. What is the economic situation now? Durâ€" ing the past year the Prairie Proâ€" vinces produced 475,000,000 bushels of wheat and other grains in proportion. Our main agricultural products are grain and live stock. "It is a mistake to think that our activities are confined to grain alone. The Company which I am associated with sent 100,000 head of live stock to Winnipeg last year and it is but one of a score of such concerns in the west. Increased prices of agriculâ€" tural products under the impetus of war conditions encouraged western farmers to increase production to the limit of their possibilities. "Fresh land was broken up after the war and when deflation came agriculture was the first to suffer. Agricultural products were the first to drop in price. Examination of prices on articles ~required by the farmer to operate his farm show an increase of 70 per cent. from 1914 to the present time, whereas the price of farm products now and in 1914 shows an increase of only 15 per cent. The same applies to Ontario farmers. This is the one thing that is wrong with the agriculture in Canada today. ‘"Fastern Canada and possibly Hamâ€" ilton people may think that the westâ€" ern farmer is unreasonable and with no regard for anyone but himself. We all probably are inclined to look at the question through our specâ€" tacles. Both the western farmer and business man too, feel that they are in an unfair position in the whole economic situation of Canada. "We produce grain, live stock, butâ€" ter, wool, and a few other commodiâ€" ties which are sold in the markets of the world in competition with proâ€" ducts of other â€"countries of the world. The west produced enough wheat this year to feed 50,000,000, people. We must find an outside market for it, and the same applies to everything we have to market.. The development of the progressive party was the outâ€" let for this feeling, and it is not conâ€" fined to farmers alone, but is shared also by business men. "It has been suggested that the west needs home industries which will bring them a home market. I beâ€" lieve that we are today at a stage in our national life when Canada is over industrialized. Some day, no doubt. we will have‘ them. . There is (Dunnville Chronicle) . The increase in the town‘s tax rate for 1924 of a mill and a half over 1923 was inevitable. The â€"countil was met by an increased demand outâ€" side their control, and a decreased revenue in some quarters to meet it with. For instance the county has raised their mill rate from 14% to 17, which means $2,000 more from Dunnâ€" ville. The board of education asked for an increase over last year, and Public Utilities Commission had to have an increase of approximately $2800 to meet their costs of supplying water for fire protection, street sprinkling and pumping for the sewâ€" age ejector station. As far _ as the council‘s income is concerned, last year they had a payment of $6,000 from the Canadian Engines. This year the bond investment through Canadian Engines will only produce $2700. "Ontario markets are of no value to the west. The farmers have to deâ€" pend upon an outlet. to foreign lands. Being faced with this problem and forced to compete on foreign markets, the western farmer has turned his eye to the tariff and expects the opporâ€" tunity of buying the essentials as cheaply as the growers he has to meet. That is the philosophy of the thing and I am not attempting to argue whether it is right or wrong. . ‘‘‘You can have no better guarantee than the fact that the east will be kept going and prosperity come to the inâ€" dustries. Let us face the problem in a big Canadian way, not through the spectacles of the U. F. O., Canadian Council of Agriculture, or anything else. Let us see that the vision of the Fathers of Confederation is realized. This vision must be maintained and the ideals of Canada upheld. Only people of good will and honest view should discuss the issue and the welâ€" fare of Canada should be preâ€"eminent above everything else." no iron or steel in the west, and there is no cokeing coal, These are reâ€" garded as, the ibasis of success for manufacturing industries. It would be necessary for the west to import steel, iron and probably wood.. The overhead would be high. : & "Industrial life has today become a highly specialized business. We hear a great deal of dumping and a westâ€" ern manufacturer told me recently that the greatest obstacle he had to contend with was the dumping of goods into the west from eastern Canâ€" ada industries. The only way the west could ‘build an industrial centre would be to erect a tariff wall against eastern Canada and we do not want to do It. # "There is possibly misunderstandâ€" ing between the east and west on the question of the tariff, and I trust we can find a way to prevent even the possibility of a conflict arising. You will find the west reasonable and willing to discuss this question on a reasonable basis. The west needs markets and whatever you do to help us get markets is good for the west and good for the east.

They heard a roar as of fire, and going outside found the fire had made such headway that it was not possible to save the buildâ€" ing, and but very little of the conâ€" tents. The furniture was all lost. The house was 20x28 ft., two storeys high, on a stone foundation, Big fresh stocks this week.
