1] I listened with my usuui interest

to the hon. member for Shelburne- Yarmouth (Mr. Ralston) who al- ways acts as the financial critic for our friends cn the other side. I havl’ always admired the ‘cleverneu of anoratorand,rna.yIsaytha.ton -former occasions the hon. member for Shelburne-Yarmouth has excel- led himself as a financial critic. Today, however I felt sorry for him. because at the beginning of

. his remarks he was attempting to e. criticize the budget of a govern-

ment whose ;,:tlons have met with

- the approval of the Canadian peo-

ple. Throughout hlg observations the hon. member laboured very hard to maine the beat of a very bad cause, and had it not been for ‘the fact that he is s skillful lawyer and has an exceptional girt of oratory, I do not believe he would have succeed- ed. Listening to him this aiternoon I concluded he was a much bother lawyer than politician and s. much better politician than Canadian citizen. or be would never have at- tempted to criticise the budget pre-V sented. by the Minister of Finance.

Uufortimately problems over which this government or the gov- ernments of any country have lit- tle er no control must enter into the picture. In Canada we are faced with a railway problem and must decide what we will do with it. It is not necessary nor Ls it my in- tention to follow the many figures quoted by the hon. member for Shelburne-Yarmouth. cut. in pass- inglshouldliketnsuvthatall hon. members are interested in the Canadian National Railways.

The Fallacy Of

abroad in the land today. that our railways will ever be able to make revenues and expenditures balance. We must make up our mind; to assist the railway by subsidies, by payment of their deficits or by whatever method may .ba found necessary.

One fact is certain. namely, that

we cannot do without railway fac- ilities. The great distances to be °V¢l'0°me. the heavy commodities to be transported, such as wheat from Westem Canad.a._,coai from the Maritimes and Alberta. lumber and farm products from. other sections of the country which can be moved only by railway, lead us to believe that railways are a. necessity, and that being so we should do our very best to assist them in every possible way. .

Unemployment

Much has been said about the

unemployed and unemployment re- lief. I believe, the government has dealt with those problems most geri- erouslyl All hom. members regret that a portion of our citizens is un- employed, and regret further the fact that many of our people have found it necessary tp acwpt relief. Possibly more are depending on re- lief than should be depending upon it. However, be that as it may, we must lace the problem of unem- Dloynieiit and deal with it as best we can. I repeat that this govern- ment has been most generous in the way it has dealt with relief, with the unemployment question and in its treatment of the differ- ent provinces and municipalities. I noticed in the press of thi. morn- ing that about eighty mayors of diflierent cities throughout Canada met yesterday in Montreal. There is no reason why mayors oi' cities should not meet, but we know that sometimes at_ _their meetings they make statements and pass strc-nger-_ resolutions. So far as un- employment relief isi concerned

The healing ingredients of this well known

tllerwe _ they had to _do was to pass the re- sponsibility over to the Dominion Government. They would let the Dominion Government put up the money, and foot the bills of the citiw, the municipalities and the provinces. While reading the news- paper article and again while this hon. member for Shelburne-Yan mouth was speaking so eloquently and stating his belief tliat after the next election the Liberal party would be returned to power, I thought it strange in view of the assurance which he seemed able to give the House that the mayors who met in Montreal yesterday had not-postponed their meeting about six months until the right hon. the leader of the opposition, (Mr. Mac- kenzie King), so famous for his generosity as expressed in 1929, came back into power. Then all they would have to do would be to come tc him and he would hand our nve cent piec/es for the whole Dominion of Canada.

Mr. QUINN: Ho said, "Not a nve

cant piece."

Canada along with the rest. of the world, has been facing dimcult times, but we have another prob- lem on our hands which has not faced the other countries. I refer to the drought stricken areas in the Western Provinces, a most unfort- unate situation. I had the privilege of going throurh that coun'ry two years ago and I saw what it looked like. As a farmer I am able tc real- ize what it means to a man to gc out in the spring of the year with highhopebihishearttnputiria crop which he may never reap. I commend this government for every effort put forth on behalf of these peopln of the Western Provinces who have been stricken so severe- ly. Not a dollar spent on their be- half has been wasted. and it is a credit to this country that this proh- lem has been dealt with in such a. generous manner.

Libernls Raked Tariff

The hon. member for Shelburne-

Yarmouth sought to convey in--the House and to the country the lm- preesion that the present govern- ment has always tried to increase .the tariff. To my mind nothing is further from the truth. Ever since this Govemmsnt oeme into oiiice

A statement was madethe oth' evening which I cannot allow to pass without correction. The debat' on the budget is more or less a fre for all fight and an hon. member is entitled to bring anything be wishes to the attention' of th* House. I have not the pleasure of the immediate acquaintance of th* bon. member for Laprr=irie-Naoier-

whether he is in the House thi evening. but on March 21 he mad' the statement that this government had increased the duty on pota- toes since ooming into omoe. This statement will be found cn page 2114 of Hansard. If them is any one thing that I claim to know s. little about, it is potatoes, potato shipments and tariffs on potatoes. I took the trouble to mid out just what had happened in connection with the duties against potatoes. My information is that prior to May 2, 1930. potatoes which were

United States were subje"t to a. duty or as cents per hundred pounds. Under ri. tari!! change which went into offcci. on May 2. 1930-

Mlr. QTJINN: A Liberal Govern-

Mr. MYERS: -potatoes entering Canada were made free of duty with the proviso that should any country impou a duty against po- tatoes from canada, an equal duty would be impom against potatoes comin-; from that country.

Mr. QUINN: -A oountervailing

duty.

'soildhets .

Mr. MYERS: That was one of

the countervalling duties in the Dunning budget. on May 2. 1930. the United States imposed a. duty of so cents per hundred bounds against potatoes from Canada and s. countervailing duty of the same amount immediately came into ef- fect. Under e tariir chance which occurred in the United States on June 18. 1930. the duty was increas- ed to 'I5 cents per hundred pounds and a similar countervailing duty was immediately put into effect in Canada, After this government came into office and during the short session of 1930 the counter- vailing duty was repealed and re- placed with a. straight duty of 75 .cents per hundred pounds., This duty was imposed subject to the maintenance by the United States of the same duty against our pota- toes At that time I happened to be in the very thick of this fight. as I was a director of the Prince Ed- ward Island Potato Growers' Asso- ciation. I should like to quote the president of the association as fol- lows:

'I‘he greatest national service

the Prince Edward Island Potato Gzowers' Association rendered was in 1929, when the industry was threatened by a tarii! duty on the part of the United States which would have completely lost to Canada the large markets already mentioned had it not been for the prompt and insistent efforts of the Prince Edward Island Po- tato Gi-owcrs‘ Association, backed by the organizations it had built up in New York. New Jersey and the southern state; -The sssccus- tion, thvough these org~.niz1tions as spokesman. employed an out- standing ilrm of barristers in, Washington. specializing in tar- iffs, prepared and submitted an intensive brief to the committee cn ways and means ni tha United States House of Representatives. covering years cf marketinr, and vigorously set forth reasons protesting against any further increase in tariff.

The association, without the help cf any dealers either in this province or any other province of Canada, faced this crisis alone; .and at s cost of approximately twenty thousand dollars, five thousand dollars cf which was later paid by the Provincial De,- psrtrncht of Agricultum, were succesful in preventing the duty on potatoes from being raised for the 1929 crop: when some time later the tariff was increased, the increase was kept down to 25 cents a hmidnd pounds.

Island Question '

I understand that I have but

twenty minutes left, and I will use the tme to my own advantage and that of the province from which I come. Every ma-ii can best dismiss the things he knows most about, and. I desire in the snort time that re-' mains just to tell this House what we in the Maritime Provinces think oi’ the late Liberal udministrptioxi; the treatment we received ,;irom_ them, and also the treatment that has been accorded us as Maritime!! and, speaking for my own Prov- ince, as Prince Edward Islanders, during the term of the present government.

Prior to 1926 the Maritime Pro-

_vincf-.s, and I believe rightly, con- sidered that they had not been getting fair tentment from the Federal Government. I am not here to say whether or not the conten- tion Wag justified, though I believe it was. At any rate, the Liberal administration, taking cognizance of these protestations from the Maritime Provinces, in 1928 ap- pointed a commission to deal with these Maritime claims. That body was known as the Duncan Comms- sion and was headed by a. very clever man in the pirson of Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, from the old country. It carried on its investiga- tions, arid l~.~.rc I should like to read to the House a. paper' of the conclusions at which the commis- sion arrived:

The terms of readiustment-

That is, speaking of financial re-

adjustments bctwcnn the Maritime Povinces and the (Federal Gov- ernment. .

tailed determination and assess- ment, so that th: cc.ual mno' nt- as_w.1!l as the reasons and pur- poses attaching to it-can be roc- ognized by the rest cl cmd as fair and equitable. It is not pos- sible, therefore, to make a iinal recommendation as to the in- crease and form of Dominion aid which is required to satisfy the .iu-St claims of the Maritime situ- ation,-

The House will pardon me when

I say that I took the privilege of underlining those two words, "just claims.”
