i The Technical Grant

\

In an effort to show that the Mac- ‘ kenzie King Government is not op- posed to federal aid to agriculture, the local Liberal organ insists that “thmlsands of dollars an being paid k» this Province annually, twenty- two thousand dollars last year, and that these payments are continuing up to the present time." The refer- ence, of course. is to the technical grant, which through the efforts ci Hon. J. D. Stewart, during the per- iod when the Stewart Government was in power in Prince Edward Is- land and the Meighen Govemment was in power at Ottawa, was made applicable to agricultural trainiLg as a special concession to this Province, following the discontinuance of the agricultural grant by the King Gov- eminent which preceded the brief GISFI-‘éfvo afaainistration of 1925.

The facts in connection with th grant are briefly these; In 191D the Melghen Government voted $10,000,- 000 for technical education. The Dorms were oo be in force for a per- iod of ten years, and the provinces and the people of Canada were left to understand that later appropria- tion would be made. Yet in 1929. when the period had expired, despite vigorous demands on the part of the Conservative opposition this aid was discontinued as from that date. How- ever, sincc the sums were disbursed during the fiscal year 1929-30. they arc included in this year's expend- itures. But the King Government is opposed In any further continuation of this grant. and the Prime Munster is definitely on record as stating that he considers agricultural and techni- cal training a matter entirely for the individual provinces.

The gross misrepresentation of the local Liberal organ as to its own leader's attitude in this respect has already been exposed in these col- umns from the Hansard reports of Feb. 15. 1929. in which Premier King's statements appear. The fact that the Liberal organ is reduced to the expediency of garbling its own leader's statements in order to mis- lead is readers into supposing that the technical grant is still being con- tinued is perhaps accountable for the heated manner in which it discusses this subject. w-hich naturally is maxed by the Conservative candid- ates as a strong point in favor of Hon. Mr. Bennett's policy of federal assistance to the Provinces in every way practicable.

Recommendation No. 3

The Duncan Commission recom- mended that the Federal authorities should take up the matter of Immi- gration with the Maritime Govern- ments with a view to devising a plan for much more actively advertising abroad the attractions and advantag- es of the Maritime Provinces. "By vigorous organization," says the Re- port, “farm settlement is possible on a much more extensive scale than the Provincial authorities themselves have so far had in mind." (page 40).

Will the Hon. Cyrus Macmillan. who signed thLs report in September. 1925 and who now declares that every recommendation of the Duncan Com- mission wiih the exception of sub- sidy readjustment has been imple- mented. state what action. if any, the Federal Government has taken to co- operate with the Government of Prince Edward Island in regard in this important recommendation, and whether he believes that the Federal Government has satisfactorily dis- chi?!“ its obligation in this respect?

i What King u... Done

He has refused to renew the grant for highwlyl.

Ho has refused to rellew the grant for technical education.

He abolished the agricultural grant.

He passed an old-age pensions bill and compelled the provinces which slums to participate w pay mu the

participate is taxed for a share oi the cost in the Dkftldplllni provinces.

He has refused to do anything to relieve unemployment, Bflylil! 1'19 would not give a five cent P1009 W any province having a Conservative Government.

He failed to take action when the United States increased the tariff in 1921-2. reducing the exportation of Canadian farm products to about a fifth of their former proportions, and after eight years the best he has to offer is a system of countervailing 1 “Li; largely agricultural products. which can be manipulated at Wash- ington solely to the advantage of the American producer.

And yet we are told by King Gov- crnment spellbinders of the wonder- ful things it has done for Canada and

the Canadian people.

Editorial Notes

Ninety-five per cent. of the 1929 surplus of sesrrazooo claimed by the King Government-more than $67,- 000.000—came out of customs and ex- cise taxes on liquor. Taxes on cigar- ettes totalled $28,000,000.

‘The official statement of the Gov- ernment on January trade shows that 1n that month Canada imported 536.- 848 dozen eggs, 529.048 0i’ thcm 1Y0!“ the United States. That is the K1118 Government's idea of helping the Canadian poultry farmer."

In the year ending January 81. 1930. Canada imported $13,131.90’! worth of milk and milk products, an increase of more than loner cent. in a single year, according to the Jan- uary figures imued by the Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce. Time for a change at Ottawa l

~ Senator Beaublen, now visiting the Province. is quoted in a Toronto ex- change as saying that the whole story of the tariff under Mackenzie ‘Kins is One of Canada reducing duties. and of other countries, even suppos- edly friendly countries, raising the barriers. While Canada has made four cuts in the tariff. 143 increases have been made against her among the eighty counrries with whom the Dominion does business. An incon- trovertible argument in support of the all-Canadian policy being pre- sented m the people by the Conserv- ative leader and party.

Farmers and stock raisers of Can- ada should note that in the month of December last Canada imported, ac- cording to Government records, 6.- 268.028 pounds of butter, not includ- ing shipments in bond; 209.380 pounds of beef; 230,198 pounds of lamb and mutton; 30.000 pounds of fresh pork; 42,115 pounds of other fresh meats; 138303 pounds of bacon and barns; 431.788 pounds of canned meats and poultry; 680,662 pounds of pork in brine; 72.062 pounds of salted pork", $135.96‘! worth of soups; and 290,000 pounds of lard and lard compounds. Is there any item listed here which could not. or should not have been produced in Canada!

According to the Hon. Cyrus Mac- millan, the policy of the Mackenzie King Government is to prevent the exploitation of the masses by the classes. Now the dairy farmers of Queen's County, where Mr. Macmil- lan is seeking rota, "enjoy" a pro- tcctlve tani‘! of one cent per pound on their butter, or, on butter at 40 cents per pound, a duty of 2V; per cent. There cheese has no protec- tion whatever. The furniture factor- ies owned and operated by the Gov- ernment member for North Bruce, Ontario, l-lon. James Malcolm, Minis- ter of Trde nd Commerce, enjoy a protective tariff of thirty per cent- Nsuzzally. the dairy farmers of Queen's County are wondering wh! Mr. Malcolm. of Ontario, has twelve times as much protection as they have. And Mr. Macmillan hasn't told

Notes B); The Way

According to Dr. Harrison. FDQIUBB at the Chief Constables Conference recently in London, criminals m‘! more intelligent than they used to be. m. he attributes to the higher level of general education. It ls curious that while the leaders of industry be- moan the fact that our educational system is not providing them with‘ satisfactory business men, the chief constables complain that it is help- ing the criminal to be more efficient. Higher education, apparently, milked us adept at stealing a motor-car but hopelem at selling it-a bewildering conclusion.

Senate Beaubien states that when he went to Ottawa for figures con- cerning the number of people going from Canada to the United States he was told there was no such record. Then he wrote to Washington and readily got the figures. Perhaps this is one of the steps in the direction of making Canada an adjunct of the United States.

Some farsighted farmers in the Western Provinces have turnedto the expedient of turning their surplus wheat into baby beef. The experi- ment was begun last autumn by some of the larger catilemen of southern Alberta. with farmers under which six hund- red head of cattle were turned over to them, the animals being carefully fed and reared under the instruction

ernment inspector. This system prov- ed so successiul and so profitable to both ‘the cattlemen and the farmers that it will be repeated this year, and it is estimated that three thousand calves will thus be handled during the coming season.

One of the interesting things that research men have found out for us is how the death rate from different ailments has been changing during the past twenty years.

Drs. G. H. Bigelow and A. I-lnmblen, Boston, have totaled the deaths for the three year period 1923-1925, and have shown the order of frequency of the first ten causes of death for all ages, and in certain age groups.

Then they have shown where each ailment occurred in order of fre- quency in 1915-1917, and 1905-1907.

They were thus able to note what ailments were on the increase, and‘ those that were decreasing.

some of the findings were of a very favorable nature, and others were just as unfavorable. | Tuberculosis in patients under l5 ‘and over 40 years of age. which ‘for- ! merly stood first as a cause of death. Enow stands sixth. This is most en-

Premier King probably now regrets that he broke faith with Premier Howard Ferguson and, speaking at Peterboro, revealed parts of confiden- tial correspondence respecting the St. Lawrence Waterway. For the com. plete correspondence now released by Mr. Ferguson reveals quite clearly the influence that is making for delay 1n the Waterway Drolect. The entire correspondence puts Mr. King in the wrong, but the final exchange of let- tors between the two Premiers clinch- es the matter without doubt. On April, 28. 1930, Premier Ferguson wrote Mr. King saying he was "anx- ious . . . . .. to see early improvement of navigation in the St. Lawrence River." and made proposals to that end. Premier King replied as follows:

Ottawa, May 6, 1930 Hon. G. H. Ferguson, KC, LL.B., Premier of Ontario, Toronto.

My Dear Mr. Fergusom-I am in receipt of your letter of April 28th regarding navigation and power de- Vflilbment. I shall take the first op- portunity of bringing it before my colleagues. and shall then communi- cate with you further.

Yours sincerely, W. l... MACKENZIE KIIING

No further communication went from Mr. King to Mr. Ferguson, this despite that the House remained in session for a month after Mr. King made his promise.

Unemployment is a perfectly cur- able evil, says an exchange. The cure is very aimple-"provide jobs for the unemployed." The way m do ml; is equally simple-"Ensure to our nat- ive industries the native market." This can be done. and can only be done, by surrounding that market with an adequately p. ‘ tive tarifl. ‘nus the Conservatives-the Believ- ers in Victory-will do. This the Liberals-the Dcfcatlats-will not ev- en promise to do. ~
