This year when all 'food products areiat almost prohibitive prices the 5.-sland's apple crop would add very considerably to the aggregate food production and every means pos- pible should be made use of to preserve the crop . while growing and ,to care for it when ripe.

GOVERNMENT'S P0

Sir THOMAS WHITE! Well, tht:

lost to the country. Then we establis- hcd a syntom of interior elevators in thc West. Wo were most, interested in that subject. We sold: What.cv`er money is necessary we should spend. Some doubt was raised as io ‘whether these- interior elevators would be used. It was thought that the grain would not be detained ut these eleva- tors but would find its why to the ter- ml1111l.1 at the great terminal points. What. has happened during the Inst two yearn? These elevators have been of thc greatest. possible value to the people of' the West. When the-.war broke o11t we appropriated $13,000,000 for seed grnln and supplies. It came 11:11:11 four. tlvo and six fold to the people of this country. I am not tak- ing n11y credit for these things. We 1lo not take credit ut all t°or what we do on this side. If wc did less and talked more we would be stronger politically. If my right hon. friend has done one half 'fc-r the people of -the West what we have done since we have been ln power he would have gone 111 annual procession through the West. I say in all sincerity that lf we talked more and did less I be- lieve we would he stronger politically fn this country. llnt we are content with doing.

Sir THOMAS L/\l.'I`lll".ll: You had'

better sit down then.

Sir THOMAS WHITE: I have learn

ed ln the course ot1m'y life that it fs not always wise- to follow the advice tendered ~by an opponent. My right hon. friend perhaps remembers the old Latin saying: 'Plmeo Danaon .et 11c~ns. ferentes-~ I fear the Greah11_ when they come hearing glftli. Whdn my right hon. friend makes tt suggos- tlon lt does not necessarily follow that I arm wise to curry it out. I have referred to a few of the measures which 1he'Government has introduc- ed.. Take the banking legislation. We have amended tho Bank Act Ye- peatedly in order that the farmer may 1111 able to pledge his grain and may be abI6_t° hypothechte his cattle in order to'get advdnces from the bank.

the banks, taxation upon clrculatlcn; 11 few l111n1Irt-ds of' thousantls from 1111s-1, companies. loan companies and insurance companies; taxation upon luxuries; ‘bttsinesn profits tax. There has been 'no 1li1;crlmin11tlon against tho farmers 111 our taxation measures to meet the expetuliturcs of the war. I stated in my Ilnllget last year that if would be my object, to avoid direct taxation upon the income or effects or property of the farmer. Why did I .say tllat-because I have repeatedly said In this Ilouse that agriculture is the very foundation of our national prosperity. When all goes well with, aizricnl1111'c, all goes well with every( 1-1.l11‘,1- 111111111 and lndustry in this coun- try, nnil 1111 goes well with finance. That is the reason why we have ad- opted tl1c policy we have lu raising re- vcnnc for thc purpose 01' meeting thc oxp1~.n1lit.ure of t|1e war. It is well for ttanalln t11at~wc' should ltavc divor- sifled industries ln both East 111111 West. The Nntlonnl Policy ls a policy that tends to promote diversified ln- dustry throughout the length und breutlih of Canada. It ls not well that tho East should be wholly industrial; it is not well that the West should he wholly a|;rtcuItura.I. There will he boys raised upon farms In the West as wnll as ln the East. with a genius for mecltanlcn, boys destined to be captains ot lndustry. Should we not have 11. policy under which those .hoya can cnlploy their genitn-1 nt, home, or must we lose them ln the great re- |111bli1: to the south? There should be diverse industries ln this country, and that is the reason why this Govern~., ‘ment is devoted to the fiscal policy* which has lbeen often enu1_1clated_ ln this House. The population of.-this country of ours lx-.1 made up of various races and nationalities.
