PUBLIC zvo r16;

A striking contrast between the policies of the Kins and Bennett Governments as affecting our ag- ricultural trade was shown in Par- liament on Oct. 34 by l-lon. Rob- ert Weir, Minister of Agriculture. Mr. ‘Weir said in part:

After listening not only to this debate but to the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne I have come to the conclusion that it is eminently fair to say that there is one thought which runs through the

site, delivered ‘both in and out of this house and appearing in the press, and that is that attempts have been made to obtain wider markets by the reduction of tar- iffs. This has been their refrain, both in and out of season. No definite, specific example has been given as to how this will be brought about; just general statements have been made. The climax of all these speeches was, I think, reach- ed in the remarks of the leader of the opposition when on Monday last he took part in this debate. He worked very cleverly up to this climax; his words were will chosen; he was the actor who was trying to impress not only the members of the house, but also and perhaps more particularly the people in the country, and his climax was reached with almost a look of anguish on his face as he uttered these words: “I feel the dark shad- ows of the closing gates." The leader of the opposition did not tell us where those gates were situated. but I think, in observing the look of anguish on his face, hc was perhaps referring to the dark shadows of those closing gates placed at the exit of the valley of the shadows of humiliation, and he was on the wrong side. If, how- ever, he had reference to the gates of commerce, I am free to admit, as I am sure the majority of the people- of this country must ad- mit that, no other member of the house can speak with greater auth-

ing of the gates of commerce, be-

of this dominion.

(JHARLIIITETOIVN GUARDIAN

While this was going on—-and I shall go into this in more detail as regards other countries-why did hon. gentlemen opposite, by a lowering nf tariffs, not prevent these gates from being closed‘! We all agree that it seems easier to do some things before they are done than to cure them after they have been done. It is no wonder there was the feeling of the dark shadows of closing gates. The re- sult of the tariff that was thus put up against our agricultural products entering the United States iwas this: during the tenure of of- fice of hon. gentlemen opposite ‘the export of cattle from Canada to the United States decreased, due to tariffs being placed against our cattle or, in other words, due

‘to a closing of the gates of com-'

merce, from 250,536 head to 54,716 head, In connection with eggs there was a similar situation. During their tenure of office the exports, of eggs from this country to the United States, after the United States tariff ‘had been raised against our agricultural products, decreased from 61,051,000 dozen to ‘ 1,439,000 dozen.

ornun‘ couurnrus

A similar situation existed with regard to other countries. Time does not permit our dealing with ,each agricultural product, but I shall take some of the outstanding ones, especially those with which we have dealt in the trade agree- ment with the United Kingdom, because It was nccesary, those pro- ducts having been shut out of cer- tain markets before we came into power, for us to make a special effort to secure a wider market somewhere else. _

In France, during the tenure of office of hon. ,, “ opposite the tariff on cheese was raised to $3.56 pér hundred pounds and our

exports decreased from a very considerable trade to absolutely no shipment at all. This was a.

case where the gates were absol- utely closed in one country against our agricultural products. The French tariff against our condens- ed milk was raised to $2.15 per 100 pounds and our exports again de- creased from a very considerable trade to nothing whatever. This is another case during the tenure of office of hon. opposite who preached so much about get- ting wider markets by the reduc- tion of tariffs but who sat in their places doing absolutely nothing while these markets were complete- ly shut against us and 1'10 gites

increased to $1.30 per 100 pounds dining the tenure of office of hon. gentlemen opposite the result he- ing our export of oats dropped from more than 6,000,000 bushels to 74,000 bushels, or to practically a closed market. The tariff in Ger- many on our honey was raised i0 $7 per 100 pounds and the decline in exports was from 461,028 pounds to 160,606 pounds.

In Italy, during the tenure of office of hon. gentlemen now in opposition the duty on wheat was raised to 361-1.- eents per bushel, the result being that our exports decreased from 12,155,688 bushels to 5,827,018 bushels, a decrease of 200 per cent or more.

1,500 Per Cent Decrease

In Belgium the duty against our cheese was raised to 91 cents per 100 pounds, and our exports de- creased from more than 24,000 hundredwelght to a little better than 1,000 hundredweight, or de- cline of 1,500 per cent. As regards condensed milk their tariff was in- creased to $1.28 per hundredweight, and our exports decreased from 2,685 hundredwelght to nothing, another gate which was complete- ly closed during the tenure of of- fice of hon. gentlemen opposite. tYet, although they sat sllli doing nothing during that time, we hear them crying now that they want us to got ivider markets by :1 reduc- tion of tariffs. They had their op- portunity.

That was the second step.

I have a longer list here, but I think I have read sufficient to prove my point. That is the third lnstsne in which this government has got wider markets as s result, so admitted by hon. gentlemen op- posite, of the attitude taken snd the speeches delivered by the lesd- er of the present government when in the United Kingdom in 1030.

barrel and our exports decreased by 350 per cent or more.

STRIKING CONTRAST

This is the picture, in the short- est form that I can put it before the house, of the markets as this government found them when it came into power. A promise that we made during the election, and that has been well kept, was that we would give the markets of Can- I adv. to the farmers of Canada.‘ What has tnkcn place in conneo-i tion with the market in Canodal for our agricultural products as a! result of a tariff that was placed: against other countries shipplngi their products into Canada, es-Q pecially countries that. had put a; prohibitive tariff against our ug-_ ricultural products? ThLs IS the rc- sult, as shown in a table of car‘ arrivals of seven cnminodiiies on‘ twelve principal markets of Cun- ‘ada. These COIIIIIIQIIIIII-r an; apples, ‘ celery, grapes, lettuce, onions, pears and plums, and thc jnricast-d num- ber of domestic rurlozul. of them‘ prnduf s sold in 01111111211 was follows: ’ Apples Celery Grapes Lettuce Onions Pears Plums

That is the first outstanding in- stance of this governments at-I tempt to do something in respect to these particular commodities We attempted to widen the mar- ket for our agricultural products We started in where we had po\v- er to do something, and that was in the markets of our own coun- try. I Not only that. but we find our‘ exports to foreign countries in- creasing very much in spite of'the handicap that we had to work against by foreign markets being shut against our products. I will‘ name some of the most important!

at least, they claim that that was the reason for the increases made in the United Kingdom tariff against farm and other products. 1f that be true, we are quite will- ing to admit it because of the re- sults, and this is the third instance in which we have widened our markets for ngru-11llu1"11i products.
