Referring to rne Budaot speech of 1950 he stated that the Provin- cial Treasurer had made it clear that the Province depended IIDM financing the major part of "5 services through grants from 0'1- tawii.

"I would deduce that 11$ getting the revenue we a u gt-ttlnsz in this Province." he stat- ed. "We are faced with the dilem- ms of olttlnl our fiscal Med" against Provlneliil auttniom!

Consolidated Mining. Smelling Earnings llgwn

MONTREAL. 1CP)——Consolidated Mlninz and smelting Company of Canada. Ltd. had net profit in 1953 of 320,415,443. compared with $32,838,434 in 1952.

Earnings. says the annual re- port, were adversely affected by substantially lower prices for lead and zinc. and while inventories of ores "and concentrates and mater- ials in process were reduced be- cause of weakness in metal mar- kets. sn increase in stocks of re- t'ined metals more than offset this favorable development.

sales of all products totalled S12l.ll8,34O compared with $153.- 4-1.'l,225 in 1952

Lead production was 188,356 tons compared with 183.31}! tons; zinc 185,859 tons, a record. compared with 161.351 tons; sliver. also a record. 16.1-14.791 ounces compared with 12,905,511 ounces; fertilizer 599,996 tons compared with 593.- 445 tons.

The net profit figure is after provision for income and mining taxes of $11,000,000. compared with 319200.000: provision for de- preciation of 9.329.067. compared with 36.41.1985: and some smaller items. Rule of British Columbia's minim: tax was increased from four per cent to 10 per cent. ef- fective Oct. l.

Out nf profit, regular and extiia dividends were declared totalling 319.636.2113, compared with $27.- 027345 in 1952.

Current assets at year-end were 874.310.1310. down 321.556.3013. and current liabilities were $21.l4l.2l3. down $8,438,312. indicating working capital of $53,169,425, ‘down 611!- 097,991.

lower than the one for January 1952. 510.000.0011 Decline

“The most serious factor Ls the decline in farm prices." he stated. “In this Province we find thnt there has been a drastic reduction in farm income during the past _\’Ci'll' which has amounted to Bb0llL $10,000,000. This measures up to about 307%." he said.

Mr. MacDonald suggested it might Be in good idea for the Government to set up legislation in regard to limiting the number of farm machinery dealers. He stated that many such firms had been forced out of business dur- ing the past year with re- sulting hardships not only for themselves but also for the fami- ei's in the surrounding areas.

He also pointed out that there had barn in great reduction in the amounts of materials imported into the Province during the past 12 months. There was also A de- crease in shipments out of the Province especially in pulp wood which slumped from 1120 carloads in l952 to 27 cars in 1953.

Mr MacDonald stated it would be well if all farmers would re- duce their potato acreage by 25% He stated if this were done all over the Continent there would be no potato surplus. He noticed that the price 0.‘ fertilizer was down $2.00 a. ton this year and hi.‘ hoped this would not induce farmers to gn back into potatoes on too heavy in scale. He also urg- ed the Government to do all it could in the way of easing the marketing problems which coii-I fronted the Island producers . ‘

"It is strange there is no pro- vision in the estimates for the spcnding of that half-million dol- lars for assistance in establishing processing plants." he stated. He added that he was definitely ag- ainst the issuing of straight grants. "Setting up some groups in busi- ness is certainly not I dealrabzo situation. It leads to favoritism,’ he added.

“It. was a praise-worth_v move of the Government to set up a com- mltteo to study the educational situation." he said. "The teachei problem interests us the most and I notice that in the report on edu- cation it states that the supply

of teachers cannot keep pace with Die wastage." He regretted that there were

not more defense contracts for this Province and he thought that the Department of Industry and Natural Resmircee should at least get some small items of work along these lines.

He thought that there mlghl he too much emphasis placed on drnggera and he reminded the

House that 70% of the value 0.’ the fish catch comes from lob- nti-rii "I hope that the lobster fishing industry is not neglected.“ he stated.

Wants New Ferry Ienlee

He euueeted that the Goverm mehi. should approach the cam- dlan Nstloml Railways to set up a ferry In-vice between Coolie- town and Pinion. He stated that such I service would pmve attac- tive in tourists and ilotlteble to truehnen. He aid that the ser- vlce at Wood Idancb would slll be able to carry on Itthout all! loan of tnmc.

Mr. Maenomld shed that the Went Brlthe at Union Road he completed. He elated that the brute was in a poor condition and could eadly be the some of a dangerous accident. In allo rs minded the Minister that the people of King County felt they were not uflng anything In com- pensation for the ‘n-ans-Canada I-llfhny in the other counties In eonoliuiai Mr. Mecooriald ltated that It must have been an one-eight on the part of the At- torney-Oenanl that he did not inusuon the tourist industry as one of the basic industries of the Province "There is a uni. doll
