The following address on the Duff Reciprocity Resolution was delivered in the House of Com-

mons on Feb. 20th by m. J. H.

l Myers: _ i MR. J. H. MYERS (Queens): M1‘- Speaker, wc 1n the Maritime Pro- vinces, all things being equal. would be quite 1n favour of the re- solution now under consideration- Foi- generations our natural mar- ket has been down the Atlantic seaboard in the New Elngland states. We always found a profit- able market, there, and while that market remained open to us we in the maritime province were prosperous indeed. My idea of the tnrlff situation today is that tariffs throughout the world-in Ameri- ca, Europe or wherever you may s0 —arc much too high. To my mind a great restraint ' upon the trade and commerce be- tween countries.

Hon. gentlemen spoke this afternoon

opposite who

and more particularly the country —that the tariffs imposed against us by the United states are of our own making. They would try to have us believe that the tariffs against our 500d: entering the United States were made in Ofte-

- we. Such, however, is not the case.

Those tariffs are made In W11“!- lngton, and anything that this pa!‘- llument has been able to do or o8! has not had the effect of lowering their tariffs. ‘Ilia hon. member for Prince (Mr. Macbean) spoke about the decline of trade between Canada and the United States. True, trade has declined. but, while trade will decrease or increase very quickly according to the prices of the different commodities concern- ed, a. decline in value docs not al- ways indicate a decline 1p volume. That is one point which should not be forgotten. However there has been a very good reason for the de- CICXI-SO in trade in the last two years between Canada and the United States.

U. S. Tariffs

After six o'clock I managed f0 secure some figures concerning r. few of the commodities with which ‘ I am most concerned. and I ‘houid

like to place chem on Harman-i to ,.<how what has happened during , the inst few years. The hon. mem- bcr for Medicine Hat (Mr. Ger- shaw) spoke about the cattle trade. and made reference to the great trade enjoyed until the year 192i between the western prairie pro- vinces and the United States. Why should there rim have been that trade? Up to 1921 Canadian cattle entered the American market free 0f duty. and I am of the opinion they should still enter under the came condition: we all believe that. However, in 1930 condition; were different. As the hon. member ‘stated, cattle of 700 pounds or un~ der were subjected to duty Q! two "1111 8 11111! cents a pound while on ‘cattle over 700 pounds the duty ‘ was three cents per pound,

i 11811111. take poultry: in 1921 the iUnlted States duty was one cent tner pound: in mo n: was eight l cents a, pound. It was intended that ‘The 611W should be prohibitive: . that is why it was put on. On sheep [which entered the United States | free 1n 1921, you now have to pay 1 $3 n91‘ head, almost half the price ,0! the sheep. 0M5 that in m1 en-

tcred the United States at 6 cents 5 for thirty two pounds now pay 18 .re11its—probibitive again. Wheat. 1 which was free in 1921, now pays 142 cents per bushel. when; flour, lwhlch was free in 1921, now pays ,$1.04 a barrel. Pork, something in gwhlch we are all interested -in ~our section of the country vitally

lso, for it is one of the chief uti- icles of export-in 1921 was free of 111114’: to day it pays 3 1-2 cehts a pound to enter the American market.

Butter in i921 carried a duty of’ 2 1-2 cents a pound. I would not complain about tlhat. but imagine a. duty 0n hitter 1n 1990 0f 14 cents a pound. almost the price of the artlcle- Cheese in 1920 wls 20 per cent ad valorem: now it is 95 iwi- cont.

were free 1n 1921; now we have to pays duty of ‘I5 cents per hundred pounds to get them into the United States. Turnips, another article that we export largely, were 15 per cent then; they are now 25 99111-5 D62‘ hundred pounds. So it is easy to see why the trade between Canada. and the United states should decline, under the duties I have mentioned, duties which were clearly meant to be prohibitive. Empire Trude ax, ion But just a5 the exports from Ca- nada to the United States have declined, we are pleased to be able to inform this ‘House that owing t0 the beneficial arrangements made at the Imperial economic confer- ence held here last August, our ex- ports f0 British. countries are on the increase. During thelas; six months 0f i930 our exports to the

Unitfld Kingdom totalled $116,487,-

»exp0rts are going now.. We have found the United States market very fickle, and I believe that ls what the Canadian exporter is

afraid of. We want markets upon which we can rely over a. long per- iod of time. It is no light matter for an exporter to establish con- nections in a certain country and build up the shipping facilities r1.»- cesaary to move his product, and than have his exports to that

ooimtry ruthlessly shut off over- night, as was done by the United

States in 1930.

The same is true of Canada's etpdrfvs to other British domlnlons.

During the last six months of 1932

totalled $137,209,418 compared with $126,48\'l,054 for the same period of 199i, a gain in the year of $10,726; 364,

Now my hon. friend from Prince 0M1‘. Meetiean) made some state- ments this afternoon with refer- ence to the export of potatoes. He told us, I think. that somewhere around 4.000.000 bushels of pota- toes had been exported. largely from the Maritime Provinces, even in spite of the 75 cents per hundred pounds duty. My hon. friend was a little in error there, because in the year he refers to the duty on potatoes was only 50 cents a bushel. I remember quite well the fight that took place with reference to this duty on potatoes in 1929. I

nur province. are vinuu- interested,

happen ’ at that time to be a di- rector of the Prince Edward Is- land Potato Growers‘ Association. Fbollshly, I now think, we spent a conside able sum of money in con- junction with men and firms in the Southern States who were buy- ing our potatoes: we had men at Washington looking after our inter- ests; we did all that men could do to prevent the United States from raising that duty on our potatoes from 50 cents to 75 cents. Our effort was absolutely in vain. The state of Maine and other potato growing localities 0f New England simply brusheduls aside; they had their way. and the duty was put at 75 cents per one hundred pound".

Fair Trade Welcomed

Now we are Just a5 anxious t0 trade with the United States as they are to trade with us. Figures have been given here today about the great volume of export busi- ness that we had with the United States up w a year or two ago. That business now is to a certain extent shut off. I imagine that the American people will miss that bus- iness, and they will now be more ready to listen to us regarding a l ‘uctlou in tariffs than they would have been had we allowed that business to flow freely over Our-borders. I think we have given them a little cheek-up and taught them a lesson, and I believe that with the new government to be in- llllllrlted in Washington, repre- senting the Democratic party, who pmcihy election. I remember it have always appeared to be a lower W"! nlrtv, we ‘hall soon be able to 1mm wine nice nun bar- Ilins with them in reference to l!" thwvhwse of goods. especially Wfiuct! of the farm, the sea. and the forest.

A I°°d 6M1 has been-raid here M»! about that famous fen reci- very well. I took i; considerable Dirt 1n it in support of the candi- dates who were contesting the con- 1

u- m

remember any question that was more clearly and fully put u; me

reciprocity pact during the cam- paign of 1911. I imagine some time in lute March or early April that Mr. Fielding, the minis- ter of Finance at the time, came Wk from Washinetou with that agreement. It was announced here in the House of Commons, it was published in the Canadian press: from one end of this country m the 011191‘. Speakers on both sides of politics went out and fully explain- cd the matter to the electors. And you must take this further fact into consideration that for fifteen long years the Conservative party had been In hopeless Opposition. I say “h0p0I0i'5" because some of the Conservatives we tried to persuade to cling to the old Tory banner were becoming discouraged, and we were almost discouraged our- selves. I do not see how the defeat of the reciprocity pact of 1911 ever can be lfamed on the Conserva- tive party. It is quite true that Conservative politicians and can- didates did their best t0 explain t0 the Canadian people that it would not be good for them to enter into I that agreement, but it 1r, equally litruc that my hon. friend the lnte

The old Tories voted as they had always voted, so there’ must have been a lot of Liberals who turned over and voted against the reciprocity pact. Therefore the credit or dis- credit, depending on how you look at it. for the defeat 0f that pact belongs to the Liberal voters.
