Developing Die p Canadian Market

(Special to The Guardian)

MONCION, Aug. 30—“Ca.nsida. ex- ports over $70 worth of agricultural products for every man, woman and child in the country, or more than $700 worth of agricultural products for every farm household in the Do‘- irllnion," declared Hon. W. R. Moth- erwell, Federal Minister of Agricul- ture in an address on the nation's business, broadcast over the Canad- ian National Railways eastern chain of radio stations which included ONRO, Ottawa; CRNW, Montreal, CNRQ, Quebec and CNRA, Moncton. The problems confronting agricul- ture Ire constantly changing, Mr. Motherwell told his listeners. and the tastes ‘and demands of custom- ers are also c“ -“ marketing methods will no longer rumce." Qualifying quality in products is demanded both for thshoma mar- kg. and for overseas, and the deval- oplnent of better guslity produotl, has brought both increased demnnds and better prioel.‘ - ~ »_ Mr. Motherwell pointed out what his department had done in the mat- ter of fruit inspection Ind grading during the last few years. This syl- iem had battered the quality oi fruits and vegetables. Increased consump- tion oi eggs in Canada, Mr. Mother- ‘well said, could be traced directly to the system of egg grading put into effect some years ago. There was a larger home market as a result oi the better ’ now set. Bacon and cheese grading had been brought t0 a high stand- ard and the products had gained in importance in the British market as a result. Canada was exporting less bacon because more was being cou- sumed at hcmeand as a result of better grading, 99 per cent of the Canadian egg production was con- sumed in Canada. It was important. however, to keep in mind the necessity, not only of high quality products but also of continuity oi their supply if ioreitll markets were to be developed and the fadsral agricultural department was working toward the end cf on» ccuraging both quality, production and sufllclent volume for the devel- opment of markets. a

Trades and Labor Congress Ends Discussions

ST. JOHN, N. B., Aug. 30—(By Jack Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Writer.) Rushing many resolu- tions through with little delibera- tion, the 45th. Annual Convention 0f the Trades and Labor Congress oi Canada today concluded its dicuss- ions and tonight delegates are rush- ing home in order to attend their own particular Labor Day celebra- tions. The convention ‘opened last Monday, and was scheduled to con- clude tomorrow.

The feature of the final day's ses- sion was the statement rnede by J. W. Bruce, of Toronto. early in the morning, in which Mr. Wuce out- lined the formation oi the Amalga- mated Builders’ Council, now being investigated by Gordon Waldron, K. C.,’ Royal Commissioner, in Windsor. ‘inwhith MrsBruce takes igsue with "the commissioner ioi- showing, by his unprecedented declarations, in- sulting references, and denuncia- tions of our movement and its agree- ments, a completely biased attitude.

The‘ statement also smarts, that thd A. B. C., members were com- pletely surprised when the Minister of Labor, Hon. Peter Heensn, order- ed an investigation into the opera- tion of the Amalgamated Builders’ Council, especially in view of the _fact that in the serious situation which existed in Toronto in May when a strikepccurred for the en- forcement cf an agreement with the A. B. C., the Minister oi Labor in his efforts to bring about an adjustment consented to the registration of a group of employers in the expressed understanding that we would make a similar agreement as with the A. B. C.

This our organization adopted, the statement continued, believing that it was perfectly legal, having had the approval of the Minister oi Labor. To this, Mr.‘ Heenan, when inter- viewed, by the Canadian Preas today, pointed/out that the enquiry was be- ing made by a Royal Commission duly appointed, and that he would not interfere in any way with its function, nor did he care to discuss it until the commissioner's report has been received.

WOLFVILLE, Aug. 30-'l‘he Mth annual United. Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces, repre- senting over 62,000 Baptist Church members and nearly 000 churches, was opened in University Hall this morning, with a large number cf de- legates in attendance. J. A. Clark. Superintendent of the Dominion Ex- perimental Station, Charlottetown, the President oi the convention, pre- sided.

"There has been an awakening in our Maritime Provinces, a renewing oi’ confidence industrially," said Pres- ident Clark ln opening his address this evening. "We all feel that great opportunities llo before us,"v he con- tinued. “Our geographical position. forming as it does the great Eastsrn gateway to the Dominion, where commerce from the ends cf the earth flows in and out on our mighty tides. gives us great strate- gic opportunities. Maritime people have always been full oi initiative and resourcefulness. This and the inherited tendency to migrate has taken many strong men and women from our shores to help build the Western sections of our great Do- miniorl, and to furnish leadership in commerce and industry. in the pio- iesslons: economic, educational and spiritual, in the great Republic to the South. Some deplore this nat- ural ' movement of our peo- ple. Others look upon it as a natur- al transitlon period and believe that ‘a new day has dawned for the Marl- times when many ‘undeveloped in- dustries will henceforth furnish re- munerative employment to a greatly increased population. Two recent de- velcpments along this line in Prince Edward island were broadcast wher- ever our automobiles travelled, for our name plates carried the slogan ‘seed Potatoes and Foxes.’

In closing President Clarke sald:—- "The earnest thought oi the world is centered oni outlawing war today. We individually have an oppcrtun. Iity of assisting missions whose aim ‘is the extending of that spiritual kihsdom which Jesus established in the hearts of his followers. This is the mightiest power known to man and the only one that can establish "Peace upon earth goodwill among m“? 0111‘ WW1!!! Missionaries are known as the greatest peace amp”. sadors in the world. We have the opportunity of strengthening their hands today."

Followiiig the devotional exercises at the morning session by Dr. J. D. Freeman of Macon, Georgia, Dr, 1g, S. Mason presented to President; Clark a gavel given by Prof, such. erland and himself. Rev, E. H. Coch- rane offered prayer.
