In a paper he outlined the history and accomp- lishments of the Commission, Dur- ing its life the organization had functioned intermittently due to _ financial difficulties and during the last 2E‘; years existed in name only. That the commission should function again was both desirable and necessary. The Freight Rates Act was discussed in its relation to the Duncan Commission report Which, it was stated, was not im- plemented as regards freight rates.

was discussed by the speaker. The

Emphllsis was ‘placed upon the necessity of organized and system- atic effort by a Transportation Commission in remedying existing troubles. Mr. F. M. Sclanders stat- ed that he slid not know why fin» anciai support of the three prov- inces had been withdrawn from the Transportation Commission which had been doing a marvellous ‘ work for the Maritime Provinces in matters which were of intense im- port: The support had been with- drawn leaving. a considerable in- debtedness, an action which was most unfair, he said. If the Mari- time Board could revive the Com- mission it would justify its own ex- istence for many years to come. Mr. F. M. Sclanders gave a syn- opsis of the Duff report. The riv- P1113’ of the two railway systems, the attitudes toward the I. C. R the building of unnecessary mile age, the basic responsibility of gov- ernments in railway troubles lvere dealt with. The speaker dealt at some length with what he tcrnlcti the "high points" of the report. The first two resolutions to be dealt with were brought down by [the resolutions commltteef Both

Farmers’ co-operatlve marketing machinery for the purpose _of ob- taining a larger share of the ‘con- sumers‘ dollar, had been set up. The speaker referred to a number of successful Maritime organizations of this nature. It was noteworthy that in the initial years oi‘ the ex- istence of these organizations, Enrg- er net gains had been realized by them than in later times. Prices of co-operntlvc and private trade had grown closer and closer with the result that the farmer has been the subject of some criticism and doubt. Still these organizations had assisted materially ill keeping, high the price level. Aiuch credit was due the private trader w-ho had blazed out the trails of trade.

But a serious situation exists as rcgnrcis our own exports, as over 50‘), of them pass through United States ports. The Maritimes contend that when the St. Lawrence is closed by ice, the Canadian grain trade can make the same use of the Maritime ports of the Dominion, that for ten years they have been making of Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Admittedly in season the most economical route to get grain out of the west to foreign markets, is down the lakes, through Mout- real and for the overflow, through

These figures show that Canadian Gov- ernments on the average during the past i8 years have been ex- pending 3134 for every $100 of in- come. Thc difference has yearly been added to debt. Provincial Governments have spent $152 for every $100 of income. Municipal Governments, with their more re- stricted credit, have not increased debt in the same proportion, hav- lng spent only $124 for every $100 of income. '

One of the lessons learned fromj the depression, he said, has been tile realization of the need of cl‘- minnt ng waste in production. There are many farmers in v the Province who have greatly en- hanced the value of their crops by scientific and economic methods.

Mr. Lea strongly endorsed the wise methods adopted for the pro- tection of the fisheries of the Province.

“I may be treading on very darl- ‘ gcrous ground to suggest approvall o1 any method of protection for‘, our oyster industry," M1‘. Lea said. "but certainly the cultivation of the beds by the Federal Depart-l‘ nlent is a very wise measure and; should have the support of every’ man in this Province regardless of his political affiliation, or who was, ‘esponsible for the change the‘, was made."

The development of the silver: fox industry from the “boom deys"s to the present time was sketched briefly by the speaker who pointed, out that the industry does nctI detract from other livestock andi agricultural production but, on the‘ t0

THE LUNCHEON

Mr. B. W. Robinson, President of the Summcrside Board of Trade, presided at the luncheon at i o'- clock. Thc speaker Dr. N. Cum- mings, spoke on the subject of marketing agricultural products. He dealt first with present day condi- tions. Products were lower in price now than they had been for a quar- ter of a century. A permanent de- velopment of agriculture could not
