This was the second division so far this session but as the free wheat question has already been threshod out every year since the defeat of reciprocity it did not elicit. at large vote as the figures iti- tlicatc. li the farmers in the West were not receiving fair prices for their wlicat as was urged hy the Grain Growers’ Guide and Liberal agitators in parliament. the remedy was in the hands of that organiza- tion which, besides owning the Grain Grotvt-rs Guide. controlled tt large portion of the grain buying business in tht- West anti the export of not only tianadian wilt-at but American wheat as well. thc Grain Growers Guide Company, was the statement ot' lion. Arthur liicigltcn. solicitor-
general.
Mr. Meighcu as usual went to thc
heart. of the situation and in trench- ant language pointed out the rem- edy. lt' the farmers were not receiv- ing fair prices, as was urged, owing to it combination of miliers and buy- ers why did uot the Grain Growers Company. instead of inspiring ap- peals to parliament to mend the sit- uation. pity these farmers prices in their capacity as buyers of grain. The tjompany had matic a profit of 27 pt-r cent. last yt-nr. Zilr. liicigltt-n did not stty that was not legitimate prolit. but it` it wt-re why was it urgctl that the i'u.rm.t:rs were not receiving enough, Ile askctl. llc rcttti from the Grain Growers Guide an ttssortiouln the animal statement of the Grain Growers Company that its profits were being out away down by the competition of the millers. if such were the case what t'ountlatlou was there for the statement ot' at combine between these millcrs and the buy- ers? _
Besides the Solicitor-General seven
other speakers said their say on the resolution.
lion. Robert Rogers finished the
:tdtlross on the subject which he be- gan last week. The Minister of Pub- lic Works pointed out that the Brit- ish Corn Associations had complain- ed to the United States Department of Agriculture that the grades of American wheat they were receiving were so inferior that their purchases were being confined to Canadian wheat.. This was Cauada’s opportu- nity, said Mr. Rogers. Why throw lt, away by a letting down of the tar- iff bars which would mean that Can- adian whoat, mixed with the Ameri- can preduet, would lose its identity and its value in the British market.
Other speakers were Messrs.
Cruise. 'of Dauphin: J. J. Hughes, of P. E. Island; Levi Thompson, of Qu'Appelio, from the Liberal side of the House. and one Government member. Mr. W. F. MacLean, of South York, who supported the ro solution; and Mr. Alex. Morrison. nr Macdonald, and Mr. llermenegtidt- Boulny. of Rlmouski. who opposed it. Mr. Boulay used It new argument when he said the \Vestern farmers were receiving better treatment from the (iovortnneut new than those in Eastern Canada and that the time had como for them to cehso their agitation anti rt\mcntbcr that they were not tht- only farmers in the country.
