Agricultural Conference

In addition to attending the Canadian National Exhibition, Hon. Mr. Sharp was present at a. confer- ence of Provincial Agricultural Min- isters and the Federal Minister in

and other matters pertaining to agriculture. The conference was held last Tuesday and was attend- ed by six Provincial Ministers of Agriculture. Mr. Weir's intention is to extend the federal grants to regional fairs as well as Class A fairs and he desires to make each exhibition a breeders‘ show, instead of a professional sbowmer . hibi- tion.

Maritime showing Good

lThe Canadian National Exhibi- tion, Mr. Sharp reports, was as good this year as on other occasions, though there was a falling ofl in the average attendance. Maritime Night, on Friday, Nov. 19, drew a large attendants. A heavy snow- fall in ‘and around Toronto inter- fered with traffic. Forty miles north of Toronto there was s. snowfall of fifteen inches, which temporarily blocked the roads.

As already indicated in the press reports, Maritime breeders did ex- ceptionally well at the exhibition. Maritime Holsteins made a specially good showing. Ayrshlres and hor- ses were not so much in evidence this year.

Hon. Mr. Sharp visited Ottawa after leaving Toronto. He saw Par- liament in session and interviewed the local Conservative members there.

He was accompanied to Toronto by Mr. J. W. Boulter, Deputy Min- lster of Agriculture. ‘Mr. Boulter returned homo on Thursday even- ing.

Six Weeks 0i Bitter f Debate Finish As

Last Item Is Pass- ed-Senate Ap- proves Without Di- vision.

OTTAWA, Nov. 25.—(C.P.)—With Liberals‘ battling against it to the bitter end, the Anglo-Canadian trade treaty passed through the House of commons today in its fin- al form. It then went to the Sen- ate for ratification.

Six weeks of bitter debate were finished when the last tariff item passed through committee, the last amendment - was ratified and the Speaker uttered those 10 words, "and the title shall be as on the order paper." It was the end of a long, long trail.

The four bills implementing the trade treatites between Canada and the United Kingdom, Irish Free State, South Africa. and Southern Rhodesia were all passed in the Senate tonight without division. Senators Dandurand, Forke and Horsey spoke in criticism of thc bills, after which Senator Dandur- and, Opposition leader in the Sen- ate, announced that subject to the reservations already voiced no op- position would be offered.

Tbmpers in the House were frayed

I

r early in the day when Rt. Hon. W.

L. Mackenzie King, Liberal leader, and Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, crossed swords The Liberal leader accused the gov- ernment of “complete reception" regarding the treaty with the Irish Free State, claiming there were “motives too sinister to mention."

The trade minister branded this an "unfair siur" and "absolutely false." When making a. reference to parliamentary sportsmanship, he directed his words to “gentlemenW- and he emphasized the words- "across the floor."

In committee stage item after item in the tariff schedules passed as quickly as it was read by the chairman. But occasionally the Liberals balked, even demanding stand-up votes on certain items. In- creased duties on barbed wire pass- ed, 53 to 31; cream separators, 57 to 85; cotton fabrics, so to 30; sur- gicsl instruments, B0 to 30 and hits and caps, 64-35. ‘

In each vote, Liberals, Progres- sives, Independents and Laboritcs lined up against a solid bloc of Conservatives.

OTTAWA, Nov. flit-Big Ben in the Pence Tower was tolling i1 o'clock tonight when Parliament adjourned until the end of Janu- ary. Seven weeks of hectic debate was over when members and Sen- ators packed their begs and rushed for night trains cast and west.

There was none of the frills and feathers of a torn-lei oncnlol PM! Justice Duff of the Supreme Court of Canada gave royal assent to the legislation passed at the session. Only a some of people were in the galleries. A long figure in a gold braided uniform formed the milit- ary escort. No brightly govmed women set off the sombre red walla

UITAWA, Ont, Nov. ‘RS-Con- sideration of Canada's new railway legislation has been suspended un- til Parliament meets again the end the January, but co-operatlon for purposes of economy between the two great railway systems will be intensified at once if they hood the resolution adopted in the sen- ate this afternoon.

The Senate committee on rall- ways this morning, held its filial

TREATIES will HIGH PRAISE, FRUM LEADER

OTTAWA», Nov. 25 — “Even if within the four corners of these treaties there are some things to which a. Inger can be pointed-we ought to welcome with open arms and cheerful voices what will for the first time bring wider markets for our agricultural producu,” de- clared Rt. Hon, Arthur Meighen,‘ Government Leader, closing the de- bate in the Senate just before the Red Chamber placed its final ap- proval on the trade treaty bills.

"I ask the honorable members seriously to considers’ sad Sen- ator Melghen, “would you like to see these measures defeated? if you would not then why vote asalrlsi them?"

Senator Meighen listed some of the benefits presented to Canada by the treaties, particularly in fruits. wheat and copper. The world was gluttcd with wheat and the price was “depiorably low." The only way to bring up the price would be by reduced acreage.

Canada. was given a. perferenoe of s‘x cents s bushel on the Greatest wheat market in the world, by till? provisions of this treaty.

"Which country do you think will be forced to contract its acreage?" he asked. “Will it be the country that has a six cents a bushel pre- ference-or the one that has to climb a. fence to get. its product in the greatest wheat market in the world?" '

WOULD BE CHANGED

“Why does the Senator for Bran- don (Mr. Forke) experience all?"- hensions?" asked Senator Moshe"- "Ah, these murmurings of doubt: if these treaties were under til auspices of another party they would be turned into hanelnills of praise."

He had confidence, Senator Mieighen said, that with the pros- pects of u market for more Pork products than Canada could pro- duce, the pig industry of the D0- mlnlon would be placed on a more stabilized basis than it had ovc!‘ been before.

"I prise this treaty most because it brings foo- the first time a wider mlrkct for agricultural products" Senator Molghen solid-

"Ever since I have been in roll- tics the cry has been for woof markets. ‘that has been the "Y gmm gm wggtsm plains ever sincc there have been tanner-s on those plains. is there any way we could have secured wider markets exceni by such a measure as this?
