lIn Bud_g_e_t Debate

An outstanding contribution to“

the Budget debate in the Legisla- ture on April l was the dpeech of Mr. H. F. MacPhec, h.C.. Third District of [(111851 of which a rc- ,port follows: | "We are about to vote Supply," ‘said Mr. MacPhec, "and this resol- IULlOII, of course. consists of a | great many things. It involves a consideration of the policies of the lGovernment, the various govern- lincut services which are maln- taiiied, the tiecessity of these ser- vices. and ttie efficiency of them; fund it involves, of course, con- sideration also 0t the record o! zthe Government in, the past year particularly, and in the years preceding it. _

“Those are the things which are proper to consider, and We must. of course. consider them agulnst the broad background of world land Canadian conditions how and in the near futuic.‘

“This ancient Assembly has dealt with this same duty on many an occasion. I ttiink the Speech from the Throne announ- ces this as the fourth session of the 44th Assembly. s0 that many venerable men have sat in the

seats which we occupy tonight. 811d have faced the duty which con- fronts us tonight. _B‘.i. I do 110v think that at ailv time in the long yliLstory of this Province have tiny group of men faced that duty 111 line shadow of graver events.

"We are well into the fourth year of mi; terrible war, and at 111st the train. 1c, st‘ nctn of the

‘democracies seems i. ;ed to meet the lOng gathered strength of the dictators. It scents now tllilt ﬁt» any time a itiajoi" clash 0t arms may o:rtir, and we know, we feel .eonfident, that. the Canadian Amiy of which we are so P1011111 viill be in the very vanguard 0f the assault of democracy on the ldictrtturs. We boasted about en- llistments in this Province. and We know that tlie erczim of our _\'Ollth will soon be 111 ll1111 V1111- .i,llllll'fl, leading thc men who 1116 to be the saviours of freedom and 0t‘ all the sacred things for which we are fighting.

“It is hardly remarkable thcrt- fore, that, tinder these conditions. the lion. member from Murrav Harbor should have noticed some stllclfltlltl’ surrounding the 11110- ccedlnes of this session of the r LQQISMHIPQ.

“That consideration suggests one matter which has been men- tioned here, and that is the mat- ter of re-establlshment, 0i pre- paring for the future. We must, of course, advance first with the

[pressing job of winning the war.

‘Wp are. told, and properly told, that. we must "m? allow our cf-

One Important Industry

"we all agree that we 1191's 011E important industry in this Pro- vince, that we are essentially 11110 fundamentally an asrvtilttirill province. So I think the key-note of our consideration of the broad pOIlClJS of government in rela- tion m performance in the past and the budget ivhich we are coli- siderlng now, shculrl be iii rela- ition to that. industry and to‘ thc iscrvices which relate to it, author

We find that the total expenditures of this Province iii itll departments 1 during the nitsi, year were roughly 132,236,000. and titlt out 11f these expenditures of almost two M111 lone-half million, there was ex- pended for Agriculture the sum lot $53,551.

But lt seems to m8. ll 1 were asked to consider the pro- priety of the estimates submitted in [lie light of the importance of the industry and the state of the industry. that their is something wrong with lhls practice. There is an old saying that first things should be first. but l think if wr-

thc attention paid in our budge to our basic industry in this Pro vlncc, that we are putting first lining-s inst.

"This is an age of priorities. Everything relative to thc war and war industry is supposed to have precedent over other things, Agri- culture hit. certainly no priority tin relation to this Government.

There are it tnimbcr 0f things thiit have prloriticsz-but not Agricul- ture.

Not A War Casualty

"What I am saying is not. iii- itended to reflect at all u n the Minister of Agriculture ere. I was ialcascd tonight to see how, hi spite of advancing years he was able to give us such a vigor- ous address. I think that his De- puty and the men associated with hlni are trying to do their best also. What I refer to is the policy of the Government reflected in the relatively small amount of money which they see fit to dc- .vote, out of the whole expendi- Lure of the Government-to Agri- culture.

Scvnething has licen said about . improved condition of agri- culture. and of course it is true that the condition is betwr than it was. If it was anv worse I don't know what would have happened to agriculture. A year or two ago, OOYYESDOndPnce was read in this House from the Prime Minlstpr |0I Canada. 1111s matter had been [brought to his attention; it. had lbecn pointed out to him in cor. respondencc by the Premier, what. _the condition of agriculture was. and llt.‘ referrer! to it I18 a ‘war casualty."

“We know that before the war egan, farmers were slipping back. We know that even those who were not actually going liito debt lri dollars and cents were going behind ln capital depreciation. And we know that the less for- tunate ones, the ones who carried mortgages o1' ‘verc tinfortutiate enough to encounter sickness or catastrcplits. were finding lt im- possible to ClllTy on. I admit that as a result of prices Nsultitig from the war, that condition has improved. But lhiit improvement; is not tho rcsult 1,1 illlv plan on the part of any government.

The govern- ment has no. managed lt that these prices were brought up to this level, rather the government has managed it that these prices shall not go above that level.

No Equality of Sacrifice

“This is perhaps not the prob- leni for this government, but it has a bearing on the duty of the

government in relation lo its policy. And it is this: that the federal government in its man- agement. of Canada's affairs ls not arranging [hlllgd so that there shall be control nf sacri- fices in the prosecution of our war effort. The result is that so far us" the agricultural war effort is concerned, there is r1. wonderful service being performed by the farmer. We are foi-cecl to the conclusion that no class of men in the _Dcmlnion are pcrfoi-miiig the sci-vices they are iierloritiing. But tlicve is no equality of sacrifice, and the same is true of the pro- fits thlit are allowed to be taken.
