The most striking contribution t0 the Parliamentary debates this year was the speech delivered by the Hon. Robert Weir, Minister oi Agriculture. A masterly effort which silenced 0p- position criticism and was greeted with a storm of applause from the Conservative benches.

Following is é. verbatim report oi Hon. Mr. Weir's speech as reports in l-lansard of May 7th: »

Mr. Speaker. I wish ﬁrst to take this opportunity of thanking hon. gentlemen opposite-perhaps they did riot intend it any too kindly-for the great polns they have taken to bring before this house and before the peo- ple and the press the fact that I am inexperienced. They have sold that l am ‘green!’ That ls true. There ls not in this house a member greener in politics than I lam-and God grant that I may remain so. They have also referred to my limitations in various respects, agricultural and otherwise; in this also they are cor- rect. In conﬁrmation of their state- ments, I wish to say that on those point. we agree in evéry particular. May I add that up to last June I had never attempted a political speech. Nothing was further from my mind than politics. I had at- tended only onc political meeting since the war until my own conven- ition was held. But there was a grow-

ing feeling among the farmers in my part of the country that they should be represented by a person who had been o farmer but had not been tied down m any political party, whether Liberal, Conservative or Progressive.

Federal Minister Of Agriculture, In His First Speech In Parliament, Lays Prostrate The Disorderly Squadron Of His Rash And Feeble Assailants. Full Text Of Hon. Mr.

Weir's Great Speech.

I regretted very much that the lot fell to me to represent them, for I felt that there were many farmers W110 were very much better qualiﬁed than I was to assume this great responsi- bility. But they felt that I had one qualiﬁcation that was necessary {or tho accomplishment of the task which they imposed upon me--I was a university graduate, little realizing although I made it as clear to them as I could, that mathematics did not any more than farming. give a per- son ability to speak. Therefore with this clear understanding and agree- ment that I have no political exper- ience, I ask the indulgence of the house tonight. It is dilflcult enough to speck, it ls still more difficult to think and translate one’s thinking into parliamentary language.

Cowardly Attacks

I realize that my time 1s limited, very limited, to speak on s. subject so comprehensive and important, and yet I feel that decent people through- out the Dominion-and thank God the majority of the people of Can- ada. are decent—would think that I was very remiss 1n my duty tonight if I let this opportunity pass to an- swer in as emphatic o manner as with my limited capacity I am cap- able of, the many cowardly attacks that have been made, more especial- ly the most cowardly of all this aft- ernoon. From the beginning of this session until now I think the attack this afternoon has been the most cowardly of all.

REALIZES DIFFICULTIES

It has been said that there is no man in Canada big enough to formu- late a policy in agriculture. No one realizes that, better than I do. Alter I received my portfolio my ﬁrst ut- terance was that no one realized bet- ter thun I did my many limitations, and that I should seek every occas- ion for consultation with experts. I have been ready to receive construct- ive suggestions from persons in any walk of life. I have asked hon. mem- bers to give me any constructive ideas that would be of beneﬁt to the agri- culture of Canada. I did not want people to think that ln some subtle way I was trying to steal their ideas. Therefore I made it clear that I would lake every opportunity to give credit where credit was due. As long as the ides was such as if put into practice would redound to the ad- vani-rgc o agriculture in Canada. I was willing to give credit in the orig- lnator. That was the only reward I wished. I told you I had no political

experience. It maybe of interest to

some lion. gentlemen to know that I did not even run my election as a Conservative, but as an independent

Conservative. I mode the statement at the convention that I wished to be free to vote as I sow ﬁt in the in-

terests of the fanners of Canada. 1 made that pledge on the 6th day of June and it was on that pledge that I took this trust from them. And l

will keep that trust. I speak to-night,

‘VHOLE-HEARTED SUPPORT

No one was more surprised than I was when the Prime Minister (Mr. Bennett) called me to ask me to take the portfolio of agriculture. I made lt clear to him that I had no political experience and that I felt that was absolutely essential to make a suc- cess of such a. gigantic undertaking. ills answer was characteristic. I-lc said, “I called you not to be a minis- ter of politics but Minister of Agri-

ame from that dsy to this, and I have n0 hesitation in saying that there was never s minister of arri- culture in Canada who enjoyed in fuller measure the wholshea in‘. sup- port ofthe Prime Minister, his chief- tsln, and that of his colleagues than I have done. If there ls any falling down in tho Department of Agricul-

turs the responsibility is mine and J’ ‘I.

realize my time is brief. It was cm- phasized the other dny-I do not know why special attention should have been called to the fact, but I am glad it was-that I had resided only three years on a farm. It was said, with reference to certain gen- tlemen here, that all they knew about farming was looking through tho fence on to the farm. I couple that statement with a suggestion which the hon. member for Melville (Mr. Motherwell), the former Minister of‘ Agriculture, mudc—-the only suppos-I ed constructive suggestion, I believe‘ which has come from the hon. gen-~ tleman since the house has been ln session.
