Therefore the strik- mg growth of Oshawa is not to be | taken as typical of all towns within the Dominion. For a town, Mr. Chair- { man, to expand from a population in 1900 of roughly 4.000 to a population, of 20,000 which 1 believe you have to- day, is indeed spectacular and you | have reason for great civic pride in | your accomplishment. But you have | reason to have still greater pride in the fact that in municipal development along educational lines and with re- | spect to housing you have kept pace { with the industrial development of your great city, | note with great in- terest that the building permits in | your city indicate increased activity in | 1927, and amounted to over $3,000,000 | | in the first seven months of the year, as compared with about half a mil- | lion in a similar period of 1926. You | therefore, Sir, have evidence in a very | marked degree in this city of the era | of prosperity in to which we as a Na- | tion believe we are entering, "May I for a few mintes refer to the general business conditions in Canada of which my Department of Trade and Commerce keeps a record. The Nation's business, Mr. Chairman, and gentlemen is your business. The Na- tion's policies are your policies, or at least the policies of the majority of the people of this country and I think on that business and on those policies it is the duty of public men to make their statements and express their | views. We are indeed fortunate in this tDominion in having the most highly educated electorate that | believe De- { mocracy has yet known and I am firm- ly of the opinion that the thinking people of this Dominion today are more interested in policies and the re- sults thereof than they are in part) allegiance. First as to the general stat of the Nation's business. May I say that a survey of the economic situation warrants the conclusion that Canadian business is in a sound condition and on the threshold of an era of healthy expansion. Its foundations lie partly in the excellent crops of the past two seasons and I am glad to say that the Official Crop Bulletin issued on Aug- ust 10th, is to the effect that the wheat yield of the present year will equal if not exceed those of its predecessors: the condition in this respect being nu- merically expressed at 105% of tie 10 year average, as against a figure of 92% at this time last year. Since farm prices two years ago regained the level of general prices, this means i continued heavy purchasing power from Canada's basic industry. favourable agricultural situation has been reflected in a steady expansion : e Employment "Industrially the present calendar year 'Took Of from a higher level than in any year since 1920, as jindi- {cated by. the official index number of employment which in July of this year stood at 1084, as compared with 1037 in July of 1920, and 968 in July of 1925. Especially in construction, gen- eral manufacturing and trading is cir ployment at the present time on . ceptionally high levels. The measure of railway traffic reflects commodity production. The first seven months of the year show a total carloading of 1.- 800000, compared with 1.700000 for the corresponding period of 1926. The im- migration movement which doubled in { volume in 1926 as compared with 1925, again increased 00% over 1926 during the opening months of the present fis- cal year. "Foreign trade is likewise buoyant and while our exports have not in- creased to the extent of our imports, one must bear in. mind that the in- crease of imports reflect mot only the current Canadian prosperity and in- | erease in purchasing power, but in a%t | | probability the inflow of a considerable | amount of capital for investment . in | Canadian basic industries. Notwith- | Standing the increase in our imponts | for the 12 months ending June 30th, | balance is well over $235000000. | favourable trade | "The financial situation has shown increased strength in the features npon | which an era of prosperity denends. | Notice or time deposits of our Cana- dian banks reached in April last the highest point in their history, while | combined demand and motice deposits' | on June 30th were 1976 millions of do®- lars as compared with 1881 The , in industry, trade and transportation. | millions The tatal dollar volime of business in the JI clearing centres during the first half of 1927 was 10 per cent great- er than in the same period of the pre- ceding year and 25% greater than in 1925, In spite of the fact that commo- dity prices have been lower, the bank | debits which show the actual trading for the first six months of this year amounted to 16 billions of dollars as compared with 14% billions in 1926. The decline in.commodity prices dur- ing a pg of general business accel- eration is to be. accounted for by. warld conditions arising primarily out of the return of several iki trading coun- tries to the gold Basis, Canada joined this movement for general stability in July "of 1926, Summing up, may I say that (he cconomic barometer at the moment | points with scarecly an exception to the continuance on a gradually mount- ling scale to the favourable reaction noted when the country first began ta emerge from the economic setback o the war. Still: more important are the indications of the recommencement of capital development of our natural re- sources on which the future of Canada co largely depends, "The balance sheet of the Canadian Government, is of special interest to the people as reflecting the current 'business situation. In the first quarter of the present fiscal year Dominion revenues as a whole reached $120,000,- 000, which is $8,000,000 greater than in the same period of last year and the "grawd total expenditure was decreased to $78,000,000 which is $2,000,000 less than the grand total for this period last year, The net debt of the Do minion on July 30th of this year is stated to be at 2,305 millions of dol- lars as compared with 2,357 millions of dollars at the same date last year, a | reduction of nearly 52 millions, In tether words the present trend of the { Dominion finances is such as to permit {us to pay off the national debt at the {rate of one million per week, !

In this Diamond Jubilee year we are also reviewing our | progress in many lines since Confed- | eration, but in no field is the all-round | permanent advance more stable than {in manufactures. Perhaps $200,000,000 i represents the outside value of our | manufactures in "67; today the figure approximates $3,000,000,000. At Con- | federation the aim of manufacturers { was to supply the home market; to- | day this orbit has widened and since { the beginning of the century our ex- port of manufactured goods has gone up from $99,000,000 to $605,000,000 In 1890 we had practically no expert of paper, whereas in 1927 our exports of | this commodity amount to $116,000,000, Newsprint now' ranks second only to wheat ni our export trade.
