TIANAIIA iiiiis wniin WHEAT AGREEMENT

Canadian Government Officials Ex p r e s s Satisfaction 0 n A g r e e m e n t at Wheat Conference.

7i i»

(Canadian Press)

wheat agreement, London today, was hailed with sat- isfaction and relief by Canadian Government officials. Its compen- sating features, particularly the ex- change of lowered tariffs by the im-

brought smiles of relief to the faces of Canadian officials.

The exporting nations agreed to a maximum of 560,000,000 bushels to be shipped to the Europearr market in any year. It was difficult to es- timate how Canada would be affect- ed by this agreement until the ex- porting nations themselves had al- located the I individual amounts. Canada's average crop. on present- day acreage is 450,000,000 bushels. Of this, 180,000,000 bushels is consumed locally for food and seed and the usual year-to-year carryover. This leaves Canada with an average ex- portable surplus of 270,000,000 bush- els or nearly 50 percent of the agreed maximum export for all pro- ducing nations for the European market. '

Of courseonly a. portion of Can- adian wheatf goes to the European market. In the calendar year 1932, Canada exported 228,219,700 bush- els to all nations. Of this 213,841,- 000 bushels went to the United Kingdom and other European coini- tries.

The selection of 060,000,000 bush- els as the maximum all-nation ex- port to Europe was taken hers as an indication Europe would continue to stimulate home production of wheat. In the crop year 1928-29, Europe imported 020,000,000 bushels of wheat, an all-time record.

Results of War The War had developed several ‘new things, the full force of which had not been observed till after hostilities had ceased. There had been a shaking of systems of fin- lpancc and exchange. A catastrophe in the towns always reacted on the country districts. The War had shaken the whole social system to its foundations. The discovery early in the nineteenth century of the in-

Esthonia, some nine or ten little na- tions which had retained national spirit, had erected tariff walls. Tho result had been that other countries had been forced to follow suit. Prac- Ufifllly all these small nations had I produced agricultural products in

execs of what they had required! Great Britain had been the only’

frec agricultural market left in the‘ world. In 1921 and 1923 it had been found that as men were being sent oiI the farms, due to increased ‘pro- ' ductive power, a problem of lmem-l ployment had arisen. - Excess pro- ducts of those small coiuitries had been thrown on the British market. at prices with which British farmers could not compete.

reducing production costs in Brit-i ain had further accentuated the dif- l ficulties of the problem. Reluctantly‘

the government had decided that had been to the credit of urban vot- ers that they had realized thc na- ture of the situation.

Quota System Introduced

The placing of a tariff on all im- ported food had been ermsidered,

Robert Borden, the Prime Minister of Canada, appointed him to the Senate. The new Senator was only 43 years oldhfle had had no pre- vious parliamentary experience. It was an unique appointment. Gen- erally the reward of a seat in the Senate went to elderly members or supporters of the party in power-— not to young, active‘ men with their careers before them.

But Sir Robert had marked the ability of his new Senator, and in October of the same year, he add- ed to the senatorship an appoint- ment as Minister without porfolio in the Federal Cabinet. The ap- pointment of Senator Robertson to the portfolio of Labor followed in November, 1918, and was renewed by Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen when he assumed the reins of office in 1920. With the Melghen Govern- ment, Senator Robertson went out of office in 1921, to remain out for the nine years of Liberal govern- ment until Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett called upon him to resume his old office in the summer of 1930.

It was the lot of Senator Rob- ertson to be on the frone line in times of battle. Labor unrest and unemployment problems have found him at the helm in Ottawa. His part in handling the general strike of Western Canada, which centred in Winnipeg in June, 1919, will be recalled. This was one of the, most serious labor troubles Canada has experienced. He acted as mediator in troubles in the coal mines of the Maritimes and Alber- ta, in the city of Winnipeg, and among the Vancouver shipbuilders. He promoted the establishment of ths Canadian Railway Adjustment Board No. 1 in 1019. In the same year he was Canadian government delegate m the first International Labor Conference at Washington, D. O.

Bosumed Labor Portfolio

When Premier Bennett formed his Cabinet the heavy cloud of unemployment hung over the Do- minion. In this period of depres- sion when a man of experience, cheerfulness and resource was needed in the important porfolio of Labor, Mr. Bennett tumed to Senator Robertson. To the ordin- ary duties of administering the Department of Labor was added

but had been rejected. The quota system had been introduced instead. By this system the British farmers had been assured of a. definite pro- portion of the market. The system was worked through the farmers’ organizations. The farmers now knew where they stood‘ as regards markets. The National Farmers Union had appointed commissions to apportion the farmers’ quotas for the guaranteed market. It had been _.__________.___ lief. This expenditure had to be organized so as to prevent waste and, while relieving unemployment, to give to the Canadian taxpayer the maximum benefit.

Senator Robertson undertook the task and built up the necessary organization which has functioned ever since. The work, however, was very heavy, Night after night he was called upon to devote himself to his work instead of to relax- ation, and finally, when the 1931 unemployment programme for nearly all provinces of Canada had been approved, he suffered an ill- ness which forced him to hospital. The Senator's health recovered sufficiently to warrant his being sent to the International Labor Conference at Geneva in March, 1932, and there he had the grati- fication of being elected president by acclamation. This pleasure was offset however by a recurrence of tho illness which had attacked him, an illness which later culminated in a paralytic stroke.

For many months Senator Rob- ertson was bed-ridden; but his powerful reserve of strength en- abled him to survive. Although greatly weakened, he nevertheless resumed his duties as a legislator as soon as he was abio to lcnve his sickbed. I-Ie attended the Senate at the last session, following iis de- liberatioris and participating in the work of its committees, notably that whichhad for its duty the analysing of the government's rail- way bill. < '

His devotion to duty had, how- ever, undermined his constitution more than was apparent, and on August 2 Senator Robertson suf- fered another stroke, which brought about a complete collapse of his physical structure.
