The Prime Minister read from a report, prepared by the Bureau. fgving the various employment in- ‘dces. In the first few months of

level, but from April i the trend of employment bad been steadily up- ward. Itwastrus that the i088 av- was lower than that of 1932, but that was due to the alackness during the first part of the year. ‘me Bureau, explained Mr. Ben- tt, secured its information from all employing over 1s persma, us- 1026 as tbs base and adjusting to increase in the firms report- Those engaged in unemplcy

special reference was made to this in the report. The unemployment statistics were complied in the same manner that had been used since tbs inception of the Bureau No one outside the Bureau saw them. It would be futile for the Bureau to manipulate the figures. for that would immediately be reflected in other branches of tatistics.

The only other employment re- portisslsedwasthatcfthe Depart- ment cf Labor, complied on the re- turns made by trade" unions and these had shown s. steady decline in unemployment figures from March to October, i033.

The Bureau's index was one show- ing the volume 0f employment. It would be inrpcsaibie for the Bureau to ascertain the financial source of employment. It showed the trend from month to month.

ill, , construction was one of l0 classifications, and had been shown in the record since 1911.

Employment Increase

Mr. Bennett recalled there were about 14,000 in the camps supervis- ed by the Department of National Defence, and 19,000 engflltd in work under the Northern Ontario Devel- opment Board. A few more might be employed by municipalities else- where but the aggregate figure would not enceed 60,000. The in- crease in employment from April to December had totalled 146,000. a fact that was reflected in increased payrolls.

Employment reports from 4,919 purely manufacturing firms showed 88,840 employed in 1W2: similar re- ports from 5,007 manufacturing firms in 1033 showed 420.488 em- ployees, 1dr. Bennett quoted. “Can there be any question about those figures?” he asked.

‘lire total empbyed cn Dec. i, 1983 had risen to 850,408 as compar- ed with 766,400 on the same date n year earlier. "Is there not some cause for Canadians to feel pride in this record?“ the Prime Minister asked.

The retail market had shown a marked improvement and every merchant queried bad described De- cember lsst as the best month in years.

"I therefore conclude.’ ‘he Prime Minister said, "that if there was ever a. time and place for saying there has been an improvement in busi- ness, in trade and in employment, it is today in this House“

Mr, King! Aillcls

Mr. Bennett recalled that the op- puiticn leader, on former occa- stuns. had been “eloquently angry" at attacks made by Inembe a of the Hou-onthose whowerenotlna posit-ion i0 defend themselves. The officiah of the Bureau of Statistics were in thlt position and he was ghB to meek in their defence. 1t had been a matter of treat satis- faction snd pride,‘ he said, when he heard the bureau described at

_ Canada's exports to the world

would fall off as a result of the

n Ottawa trade agreements. "Canada

has returned to tbe position of fifth place among the exporting nations c! the world," declared the Bremler. “Is that not something of which we should be proud? We met our difficulties, fell to sixth place and nearly to seventh, and we are back in our position as ranking fifth anmng the exprrting coun- tries, s Ely by the United States, the United King- dom, France and Germany. Is that not something to indicate that we, in the midst of the great depres- sion, have been able to do some- thing more than hold our place among the nations of the world?"

Briefly, he touched upon the New Zealnnd and Australia trade agree- ments. The present government. he Lnterjeeted, had promised to make tariffs fight for Canada and tariffs had fought for the people of this country. In good-will, after protecting the interests of the Can- adian dairy industry, trede pacts had been entered into with these two Antipodesn countries “that have worked satisfactorily and are working satisfactorily" without jeopardy to the butter and other dairy products of this Dominion.

(Linda's Wheat litlatlsl

Canada had been misled, with res- pect to scope and permanency ofthe world wheat manket.

The result was that the Dominica had accumulated vast quantities oi wheat it could not sell. The realm was plain. After the war the great consuming countries of Europe, with the memory of starvation dangers and ransom prices of the war years fresh in their minds, turned t0 their own fields and rapidly improved their crops.

The late Bir George loafer had been one Canadian who talked "in season and out of season", against charging too much for wheat during the war. He had warned that the Dominion would pay in the and, and he had been proven right, Ir. Ben- nett said.

Canada had charged as high as $3 per bushel and got it, but the Europ- un countries, when the war was over, took steps to guard against a l tltion cf that situation.

‘hariffs had nothing to do with the loss of the wheat market, Mr. Bennett declared. lt started long before the present government took office with Italy, Germany ‘and France leading the way in rapidly increasing their tariffs against the foreign product.

Canada had signed the London agreement with the full approval of the wheat producing provinces.

"ls the agreement in effect right now?" asked Mr. Mackenzie King. "Yen." replied the Rim: Minis- ter. "Flor the crop year ending with July 81, 1904, the errparts from culada are not to exceed 300.000,- 000 bushels (Canada's mare in the 500,000,000 bushels films-ted to It the annual world export require- ments es- agreed “Don st the Lon- don Conferenoe) unless tho esti- mated requirements are changed by unforeseen circumstances." It would seem, Mr. Bennett sad, that no such change would occur. Russia had signed the agreement and had lived up to it so far as their exports to date show, Mr. Bennett said, in s to a question.

“What methods are to be adopt- ed ln putting the agreement into force in Canada?" ashed J. 1a Brown, (Lib. Lisgar)

“There has-been no need for us

to take any action so far, and it would appear no steps will be necessary this crop year," m. Ben- nett replied. The exportable sup- ply seemed unlkely to go over the quota assigned to Canada. "How does it happen that this agreement has been entered into before Parliament has had an opportunity of discussing it " ask- ed Mr. Mackenzie King.

“In the same manner the Watt Indies agreement was entered into without ocnsuitng rerliarnent," Mr. Bennett replied. The executive 0f the government had acted on the authority it held and hsd cane to Parliament at the first oppor- tunity for approval. Lf it does not get that approval the government will go out of office," the Prime Minister said.

The former min stcr cf trade and commerce had said that the sale of wheat was not a matter in which the government could give assistance, thct it was a question of supply and demand.

However. acreage cirrtaélment was within the jurisdiction of the provinces and only to a limited extent was .t s matter for the Do- rninion. Indications from the pro- vinces concerned were that grass- hoppers and drought would bring about a reduction somewhat less than that fl/lrldcd for in the agreement.

Adrninis‘ a Reproof

Mr. Bennett repmved Mr. Mac- kenzie King for "parcdyfng a p11?‘- er from the Anglican prayer book" yesterday, He himself had recev- ed communications w the effect that it was contrary to God's will w interfere with production. and other letters in the opposite siftin-

Wml "hid to the programme which was contemplated this year, the government interaded to sila- mt it in general detail. But. rela- iive to Mr. King's insistence phat these works be started immed ateiy. the Premier reminded the oppo- siton leader that seasonal con- dliicns fn Canada rendqgd this impossibie. _ Purine the recent confercnre ii. had been indicated by some Prov- inces that the others had not been as careful in making their expendi- tures as they might have been. But, when they heard the real story they_ under: the Governments

the hundreds of thousands of im- migrants brought into Canada, with the necessity of providing. schools and highways; and they, were unanimous in passing resolu ticn No. 4, which set forth special cl. ‘ special consideration. Mr. Bennett believed some dsy Canada would have to make a large conversion loan; but that could not be done at the moment Canada could not. repudiate or default On its obligations without destroying the countrys credit. The country was in a difficult pos- ition by reason of the obligations carried by the provinces. It would be found there were no reckless ex- penditures; and so far as present conditions were concerned, money Wis being provided for the main- tenance of homes, comforts and clothing so that the morae of the people might be preserved This policy had commerfi“ itself to observers in ot/her countries

Central Bllk

With regard to a. central bank. se-ld Mr. Bennett, he had slid in lnndon some time ago that when he realised this Dominion could not carry on its exchange transactions without recourse to Wall street, he said that Canada ’ caccntral bank. l-le did not indicate that the Government had concluded this as a matter of policy but that this was his own personal opinion. He had said last year that the matter would have to be consider- ed at the next revision of the Bank Act, But, it could not be again said that it had been desirable for the Canadian people to have had the opportunity of presenting their views before the commission that bad been set up Mr. Bennett recalled that while he was not responsible for the re- solution passed at t.» World Eco- nomic Conference relating to a central bank, he had nevertheless supported it. He did say that in countries such as Canada there should be a central bank, so that the bill now prepared was not one ln which an effort was being made to snatch glory, but because he had believed for 20 years that this coun- try ought to have a central bank. And he ircped the bill would re- ceive from every member the con- sideration it merited Borne such organization was nec-

. but it would not discharge all the obligations that some peo- ple expected of it. There could be no return to permanent. prosperity until there was a return to stsbiiity in international exchange frhere must be an agreed valuation of currency before international busi- ness could be carried on.
