In his talk tonight the Premier touched on the highlights of the World Economic Conference, ex- pressed his firm conviction that far from being a failure the con-

‘ ference had done s. tremendous amount to smooth out some of he bumps in the road to world econ- omic recovery and contributed not

' a little to the cause of world peace. Canadians who had been led to

believe the Prairie Provinces the granary of the world might be shocked, m. Bennett laid, when they were told that France this year would produce between 76,000,000 and 100,000,000 bushels more wheat than Canada, that Italy would pro- duce 70,000,000 bushels more and that Germany and Spain together would produce substantially more. ~

Gravity of Crisis

Inis illustrated the gravity of the wheat crisis with which the confer- ence oi exporting and inrporting na- tions dealt. With huge stocks on hand in Canada and the United States, with the European countries increasing acreage and this year harvesting a bumper crop it was obvious something had to be done to ensure the normal workings of the law of supply and demand. The problem was to’ see that the produc- er got s. fair price, that the commu- er was not victimized and that the huge stocks should not clntinue to overhang the market and depress prices. Y

The a5 ement signed by the re- presentatives of the nations assemb- led at Canada House in London, would accomplish the purpose the Prime Minister believed. Under its terms Canada's export this year was to be limited to in the neighbor- hood of 200,000,000 bushels and this

"I am happy to say that common sense and reason prevailed st the Wheat conference," said the Prem- ier. ’

The monetary committee oi the Economic Conference accomplished a t. ’ Me amount oi good even though agreement on the currency stabilization question was not reached, Mr. Bennett went on. In this connection the Conference made two important declarations. It reaffirmed that gold was the only satisfactory medium of exchange but it also declared that gold need not be used in transactions within a single nation but only in the settle- ment of international balances.

On the currency question it was also agreed that paper money must have a. backing of metal reserves t, but that having regard to the pre- vious declaration that metal need not be used in domestic transactions a reserve oi 25 percent metal would be sufficient. Important decisions were also reached in connection with the position oi silver in the monetary scheme.

The reasons which prevented the United States from joining in a. stabilization plan could be readily understood, said Mr. Bennett. A country oi 120,000,000 people with 17,000,000 out oi work owed its first duty to its own people and could not be expected to jeopardize the suc- cess oi its own recovery plans by prematurely entering into interna- tional commitments. .

On the economic side, assigned to the other oi the two conference divisions important results were attained.

th

Friendly Adjournment

"In the main, said w. Bennett, "I can say the discussions which took‘ place,the information which was ‘made available to the dele- gates and the realization acquired of the points oi view of one an- other enabled progress to be made in determining how the conference could move to secure the operation oi the old law of supply and de- mend." It was fortunate, the Premier be- lieved, that the conference did not end abruptly after the position oi the United States made agreement on stabilization impossible. One of the delegates who pressed most strongly for an end at the time had since admitted the wiser course was taken. For instead of dispers- ing with some feelings of resent- ment the atmosphere when the adionrnment came was so friendly as to make a reassembllng oi the gathering an easy task. “Rarely have I seen better ev- idence of good will among men than prevailed in that gathering when we separated," declared the Premier. "I am not unmindful oi the fact that the peace of Europe has been severely menaced in the last few weelu. Conditions are perhaps worse than those which prevailed in 1913 but the very gathering of the conference and the mutual

‘ ‘ ” ‘ made pence more secure than it would have been if the conference had never been held."

There was, he said, no need w apologize for the smallness 0f the Province. “We have an excellent proverb in Scotland that some of you may remember: "Good gear Pings on sma.’ backs."

His Lordship explained that the travelllngs of the commission are not confined to actual sittings but to finding out for themselves the economic conditions in the differ- ent parts of Canada. He said that the primary object of the inquiry was to get facts concerning the economic conditions in the country prior to tho revision of the Can- adian Bank Act at. the next session of Parliament. The Commissioners will find whether the banking system is inadequate to the task which has been laid upon it.

"No financial expedlents", he added, "can. overcome the forces of nature, but much may be done to assist recovery by a wise banking policy." An unwise banking policy would retard recovery, he said. It was the obpct of the Commission, after careful survey, to make re- commendations looking m the pro- vieion of banking machinery ade- quate to present and future needs of Canada."

Among other things, the com- mlslon wished to get statistical information showing the debt of the Province, the rate of interest paid and such other information as is usually included in a Budget speech. ~ ~

BRIEF PRESENTED

I We herewith submit m- your consideration the following brief

in connection with your investiga- ltion of the financial system of ' Canada.

set out the difficulties exper-

ienced by the people in our Prov-

ince who are, for the most part, ‘i

enfiaged in the cultivation of the‘ soil, care of live stock, fox fanning “ and fisheries. We have no indus-‘ | activities. In this respect we differ! from the other provinces oi Can-l ads. I In presenting the ma. sushi which we feel you should have, we cannot do so without referring to the general financial system of Canada, as no matter what our provincial economic situation is, it must be involved with that of the I rest of the Dominion. ' We do not wish our brief to be I ‘iicrpreted as a plea for foo easy‘ "stilt, but rather that those who’ are engaged in farming and mar- keting may have available the funds necessary for the proper‘ transaction of their business with-i out being handicapped and thereby; foregc the advantages that might! otherwise be realized." ,1 stated, the farmers of this Province I do not enjoy the borrowing powerl which their assets warrant.
