These figures toll a tale of industri-

al and comme-rcial growth vastly in excess. of anything that was tliouglii. possible two o r three .years ago. 'l"nc records establish, beyond perailven- ture, that the foreign trade of Ciiiiii- da, foi' the fiscal yoor, will be vastly gi'..~.1ter than any record ever achiev- cd by n country of seven or eight inli- Iions. Commereinlly and iiiu'iisti'iiilly, Caiiailxt is forging ahead :it ii razi. which must bring pride and siitisfuc- tion to all patriotic Canadians.

I might outliiiic some of the very

important matters regarding the poi- fey of the Government towards the province of Prince Edward Island, be- sides the completion of the car ferry. which make for the betternic-ut of our people and the advancement oi' our province.

There are git-.it terminals being

coiislructcf* nt Halifax aiid'harbor i-ni- provemcnls inuiff These are all for the benefit of iriiflc and commerce in that part of Ciiiiiiila, and Prince Ed- ward lsluiiii, being; contiguous to Novn Scotia, will share to a cc-rtniii extent in the bcneflt flowing from the vast works nearing coniple-tion there. Then there have been improvements in St. John harbor, which also will, to ii cer- tain extent, benefit the island. as it ls now on the eve of being connected with the mainland.

I might also iefer to the fixing of

our representation in the House of Commons, whereby this province has new four re-press-iitatives, although at one time it looked' tis--if the entire re- preseiitatioii of the province might be swept away, owing to the fact that our population was not increasing iii as iapld a rate as that ot' the pivotal province of Quebec.

I may tiuly say, Mr.-Speaker. that

it was a red-letter day in the history of this county. which I have the hou- or to represent, and the province at large, when the Conservative Govern- ment came into power in 1911.

There are other important things'

which have taken place und'ei'~Govern~ ment -rule, but it would take s man of more eloquent tongue than mine to enumerate them. Naturally. owing to the truce between the two parties, the people, l take lt, Sir. have not been taking the same profound and active interest in party politics that they took when the Empire was at pence. I may tell you that the little province of Prince Edward Island. with only. ae- cordlng to the census taken in 1911, a populatiot1` of 93.728 people, has nearly 3,000 of its sons enlisted in the war, or about three and a half per cont. This I consider. _Sl»r. owing to the smallness of our province and the limited' number of oui' people-. a most gratifying showing. We have raised in that province two siege batteries and one of the most magnificent regi- me-nts, the latter being composed of 1,200 men. ln that regiment the larg- est proportion of the men are Scotch- mm. There are descendants of the men of Tipperary and' there are also descendants of the men of the North of Ireland. We have had cons'id'erable_ talk about what`the Eisnch-Canadians have done and have not done. There are only about 10,000 French-Canadr ans in Prince Edward' Island. but I notice one name-that of Arsenault- in tho regimental list about titty times. The 'French-Canadians have done more than their proportion down there. lt shows that they are under good political influences in that part

Such ils the condition we find' ln this country today. for wlilie there are splendid prices for all the former has to sell, those who dwell iiii cities feex that the burden for iieceeisitles is greater than before. But this Caiisila. is largely agricultural, the farmers predominate. s'o all that makes for the increased prosperity of the con- sumer. This nisy sound paradoxical to som(-:~, Mr. Speaker, but with great ilemand and higher prices for the pro- ducer. there will naturally follow more demand for labor and higher wages for the working-man. and the city dwellers generally. Wiith your per- mission, Sir, I would like to quote the following Editorial, which appeared in the Toronto "News", not long ago:

“Prices are high. Wheat merely

shows the way to meat products. to vegetables. to dairy products. Au un- rii vornhlt-_ summer may have some par- tial lnfluence on prices by creating local scarcity, but the main cause is

the war. Itussia's wheat nfust be ie- served for homeconsumpton. The closing of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus removes Russia as a com- petitor iii the world's markets. ln- dlsn wheat is subjected to high in- surance rates and there is famine in ocean transport. A bail season lin Ar- gentina and a half ciop in America. with tonnage scarce. make a combin ation that necessarily would force up the price, even though not one msn was speculating in grain futures. Meat consumption is greater than ever be- fore because fighting men are liberal- ly fed`. perhaps in-many cases more liberally fed than iii peace times. Mil- lions of men are in aims and war has put an end to stock-breeding in large tracts of iire~swept countryside. So all food products are in great demand. while the supply is stationary or ev-

" Now. Sir, I believe that iii the sprini-

of 1916 this Government was spciiiliiif at the i-ate of oiic million iloiliiis ir' month in separation allowances. Be sides this, there are some 360.000 mei' in arms, foi' which the Goveriiinenl iinust provide salaries, nnil all thai goes to make up the coinpiexlty oz the orgauizatloii and equipment of ii modern army. These are all rather extraordinary expenditures called' forth by the war. Nobody is' objecting to these, vast though they muy be But. Sir, the taxes must be increased higher czitics must be levied and tin people must realize that economy wil have to be piaetiised. in order to meet the outlay. The Government must sei the example in this regard. lt mus: economizc- iii the face and stress oi these perilous times. It must use its best wisdom and see where- necessary rctreiiehiiient may be introduced nu(

exaiiiplr. because, should tliewai' con tluuc, times naturally will beconii hard'er and unless the Government and the people begin to practice iigii economy in all departments ol’ publi- service and in all personal activities the result will be discouraging and dis astrous. Ho\vc~ver, I am i-fatiwfierl that the Governnieiit in its wisdom, witl the wise and far-seeing stotesniei whoni we have iii the Borden Cabinet fully realize the gravity of the presczi ano' the seriousness of the future situ ation. und' wi-ll not only ci'_v.~,'tiili'/.e in to legislation the principle- ol' ecoiio my, wherever possible. but will als( c-:lueate the people of this country ti be careful in all their outlays ant* save. to a certain extent af. least. theli money, and not to now indulge hi thi frivolous pleasures and reckless ex travugaiices so prevalent in tiiiics o‘ peace.

"ln the "Canadian Railway and

‘Marine World" for October. 1916. a long article appears. entitled, “The Dominion Government asked to start ocean ship-building." The Quebec Board of Trade. in their action. af- firmed that they thought it would be wise for the Government to lake their initiative and build six or more com- mercial stcamships of olght oi' ten thousand tonnage each; say two at Montreal. two at Quebec and two in the Maritime Provinces. on the baslis of the cost of labor and material. plus ii reasonable percentage forthe build- er. By doing this. they would intro- duce an element of competition, and at the same time establish a basis of cost to guide them in the legislation necessary to establish this most im- portant industry.

l could' easily refer to statistics

which showvthat the Unfited States ship yards had at that time on the stocks three hundred and sixty-eight steel steamsliips, aggregating more than one million tons. and that there are more than twice that number of ships carryl/ng the Stars and Stripes than there were before the war. If they can do this, with wages for ship-wrights as high as seventy-tive cents sn hour, surely wo can do much better with the more moderate scale of wages. prevailing in Canada.

.For these and other reasons' which

fl might advance. l do hope the Gov- 'ernment will see fit to respond to the wlslies of tho people and take action

So keenly has this subject been ailvo`

lace in* the world-some contend'

in the near future in the uiatter of encouraging ship-buiidliig and allevi- ‘iiting the grievances coiiipliiine-;| ui- by the roasteiii. _

Ship-building is liuiiusvil iii Norway.

Russia, liritisli i‘.oliinibiii. Eiigiiiiiil. Newfoundland iiiiil the lfnitcil States. and I suppose iii ull the great nations.

So for the pupil ot' Canada. its l‘ut_u.rc and its eoiitnucci' prosperity, I trust the matter will bi~ seriously eoiisiilcr- eil' by the House.
