Mr. Dennis asked if there was any reduction 1n lnslmmm owing to proper installation.

Hon. Mr. MacPhee said the in- stallatfon o: lightning nods seemed tn have been satisfactory as there was no evldence of buildings having been struck.

Mr. Lea, strongly disagreed. He cited instances of faulty installs.- tion which were positively danger- ous and stressed the need of some legislation to remedy the situation.

It was his good fortune, Mr. Rhodes ssld, to review the course of business uld nuance during a yeu- “which has been marked by continued and lubstantlsl progress. and a. nearer approach to sound and satisfactory business and fin- ancial Oondltlons."

Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports showed the physical volume of business in Canada. to have risen in lvebruaxy to this year 48-5 per oebtcbove the low point of the de- pression. Progress in 1934 was more general than in 1088. the Minister said. According to League o! Na- tions figures Osnbda occupied first place ln degree in Iensral indus- trill productlon among the 15 lead’- ing countries of the world in the period January, 1933, to the end of team.

Index figures of manufacturing production were 0.2 per cent. higher ln-Isnuu-y 1904 than in the same month 1n 1933, and 5.4 per cent. above the low point of the depres- sion. Construction contracts in 1934 increased 20 per cent, over 1933. Value of mineral production ex- ceeded any other year ill history except 1020 and 1030.

Forestry industries were more act-lye than any year since 1030. Output of electrical ‘power was the highest cvcr recorded 1n Canada.

Csrlosdiflis showed an appreci- able incl-ease over the previous your and railway esmlngs were up. Can- adian Natlonal gross operating revenues increased 1 per cent 1nd Canadian Pacific 0.2 per cent, as compared with 1933.

Wheat p: ductlon was only slightly more than 1933 but the sv- ersge cash price of No. 1 Northern at Winnipeg wasilf cents pea- bushe e1 from August to December as compared with 60.1 cents 1n the same period of 1933. and the value of the crop was estimated 83 per cant greater.

Estimated total value of all held. crops was $544,076,000 in 1934. an increase of $0,377,000 over 1933. A bright feature of the livestock in- dustry was the recent revival of exports of live cattle to the United States. Shipments during the three months ended with March 15 were approxlnmtely double the total for the entire year 1084. The revival was ascribed to the high prices prevailing 1n United States markets and scarcity of cattle in that coun- try due to drought and feed short- 580. . With respect. to policies respect- ing international trade the Minis- ter said it was "idle to expound theories and futile to expatiafe on the obvious desirability of greater freedom of trade. We are confront- ed with reslltles-we must face facts."

Recalling the state of trade when the government wok office, and found tariffs "higher agllnst the products of Canada. in the markets fo the world than at my previous time in our history." Mr. Rhodes outllned the steps leading to the negotiation of Empire agreements 1n 100$. and the more recent treaty with Frsnco which, he said. for the flnt time places our trade roll- tlons with that country on an en- tirely utlsfacwry basis. Negotia- tions of s treaty with Pollnd was practically concluded and within the past few weeks on opportunity had presented itself for s treaty with United States. Most fsvored nation trade arrangements hsd been completed with , Austria. and Brazil, and negctls- tions had been mined into for UBUQDMI with 1.10 Ilh-filfltd European tries. ’
