asked.

"It would have some control,

but I think there should be some centralized control so that the product be sent out as the market reguires it. If you leave it to every in ividuai grou you are going to have price cu ting. I think that applies to some of our other fields as well." After further discussion on thi: point Mr. Stewart asked: “Do I understand that it is your view that the Dominion Government could control and regulate that better than the Provincial Gov- eminent?”

Mr. Shaw: “I think so. because the Dominion Government today is concerned primarily with mar- problems-grading and quality. In the export field at least the Dominion would be in a much better position to take care of the marketing of products. You also have the question of price cutting between the provinces, and that could be eliminated to u tgrelat extent by some central cou- 1'0 ."

Informed that there was u Do- minion Fox Experimental station at Silmmerside, the Chairman said: "I thought Prince Edward Island farmers were experts them- selves in silver fox farming."

“I think there was a time when they thoueht they were." Mr. Shaw replied. "That was when prices were up, but now we have a lot of competition. This year the price of our pelts was down to a low level. and the cost of our feeds is up. We are getting to the point where we feel we need a vcrv great measure of investigation and cx< perimellt. not only on breeding but on nutritional problems."

The Chairman: "To reduce the cost of putting the product on the market?"

Mr. Shaw: "Exactly."

"You spoke of rehabilitating ini- poverished farmers. Are there many deserted farms in the Province?"

"Yes, 500 or 600 farms today are beiu offered for sale, and a good number of those are deserted farms."

Asked what the was doing in these cases, Mr. Shaw replied that it was a very difficult problem. “We Ilave been trying to get" these people that are in that unfortunate situation started on some line of reduction which costs them very lttle to start, such as the poultfiv industly.“

He stresse the need of seed oats in many parts of tile Prov- ince, also corn and barley.

By rearranging its productive proces the Province had consid- erably increased its bacon hog

reduction. Mr. Shaw pointed out hat in the Maritime Provinces there are approximately 200 hogs a week being processed for the Old Country trade. ‘Illese princip- ally came from Prince Edward 1s-

land.

The Chairman suggested that in the matter of barley reduction. this Province should r- able to supply all its requirements.

Mr. haw: “We iluvc ilicl-cziss-d our barley acreage. but we arc ill~O a‘ exporting Province in regard to oats. We have got to feed the Nova Scotiims.

Aid To

Hon. B. W. LePaizc. chairman of the Fishermluw Loan Board. appealed for a continuation of the Federal grant for this purpose. He em hasized the impoverished con- dit on of the fishermen in malty sections. _ _

The Chairman sold this was a matter which not affect Do- miuion-Provincial rglations. It was a question of the Dominion Gov- ernment making or oontinliiflk f‘ particular grant. “It is a malt!

The Chairman: “can't you con- vince them they are wrong?"

Mr. LePage said It was difficult to do that. It was again a mutter of fiscal need. "We need more revenue. if we are going to re- establish ihe fishermen and farm- ers we must have assistance from Ottawa." he said.

Hon. Dr. Macitlillan

Hon. Dr. W. J. P. NiucMilian, introduced by Premier Campbell. made a brief addres at the 9105c f the hearing. He said it was unfortunate that the impres-ton had got abroad that we were a prosperous province. Figures in the Canada year book to this rf- fet were entirely mixleading. he pointed out. Our farmers are find- ing great difficulty in getting back to a position where they can support themselves. Every source of revenue has been exploited.

He noted that the Goverzunent’;

brief had stressed fiscal need, and that it was largely based on the arguments presented on behalf of thi; Province iii 1935 before the White Conlmission.

Dr. MacMiilan stressed the fact that we were a landless Province, Manitoba, he pointed out, had been given a subsidy in lieu of lands, and afterwards they were given the lands as wcil, and told to keep the subsidy.

Dr. MacMillan also reviewed brelfly the Provinces transporta- tion disadvantages. There always seemed to be a icrldency on the port of the railway authorities to

minimize these difficulties. He asked the Commission how long they thought. it would take to

reach the Island if they left Tor- onto. say. on IJ. Friday night. The Chairman: “I would make my plans for another night." Dr. Maclvlillnn: "Suppose you were called on nn enlergeney-a case ‘of sickness? That often hap-
