tonight. His only reference to his ‘recent break from the Liberal party on the budget was to tell the Wcst ‘that they must consider the East, ‘even as the East should remember ‘the varied difficulties of the Cana- ldian West. The latter should not, he urged, seek to ruin Eastern in- dustry, but should rather bear with them, have patience, and that purt of Canada would produce goods for he West as cheaply us they could be bought in foreign lands, and through thc Eastern growth of industry, be enabled to uid the West to prosperity.

Mr. Marler did not minimize the difficulties under whlch- Canada labors with ltsdlvision into fcur sections. namely, the Maritime Provinces, Quebec and Ontario, the Prairie Prbvlnces, and the Pacific

' Province. Further, there was the nifescucs on our =Bnuthsrn border

of one of the richest, most pro- sresslve and most populous coun- tries in the world.

“Unless the spirit to compromise, to drop sectionuilsm, is obtained, we will find that these difficulties will destroy our country," said Mr. Marler. He added: “We in On- tario and Quebec have no right to ignore the difficulties of the Marl- tlme Provinces and of the West, and. that being the case, are we

-to say there ls to be a cleavage

and division between the sections of the Dominion?”
