CANADIAN LEGION EXECIL, TIVE MEETING-A meeting‘ of the Provincial Council of the Canadian Lpglori was held ‘Fhurs- dny evening in the city with Prov- incial Chairman R. L.

A consider- able amount of business was trans- acted and It was decided to hold a provincial convention this year probably in the month of Augustm Several matters relating to the Legion and its War Services were placed before the meeting by Dr.| for our I CIPHSB PI $8,300 should be iiiiich , more when we take into consider- ation We fact that the department lIl their wisdom have found it ne- House being then In committee on buildings were req for experimental farm which were not required this year Ml". .

Now. inasmuch as the hon. mem- bers for the island do not seem to ,have escaped from it and reached .the House of Commons to say a word on behalf of this $5,000,000 ex- port industry of Canada, which is largely centered In Prince Edward Island, perhaps some oi’ us who are landlubbers from towns in Ontario may be permitted to say something on behalf of the industry. The chocolate soil of Indian Head is, as the hon. member for Peel said, of great importance in the cultivation of alfalfa, but I thought that the red soil of Prince Edward Island. which harbours the rest silver fox industry, should rece ve some men- tion. I have, therefore, a pointed ikuestlon to ask. but before asking I I will lay a basis for the thought I have in my mind, Norway. a large exporter of silver fox furs of high quality, nmount- in to serveral hundred thousand pe t5 s year, to that important market. the United States of Amer- ica, has been cut off from con- tact wiih the New York and Bos- ton markets.

Iii connection wl Il the setting of the quota on pills going to the United States. it is true that. the Americans imposed quotas shortly after the war starred. The reason for that was largely the fact, that when the war d d start, themarket which had existed in Great Bri- tain. mid which was really the ivas closed or practically closed for the Wile of trade that had been carried on before. It was feared in the United States that this would re- sult in dumping practically all ihe furs from the Scandinavian coun- tries and Russia into the United States, when furs had orginally one to the British market. The United states, therefore, in 491g. protection put 0n quotas applicable to all countries. and they gaveufio l’ liberal quota. When it was found insufficient to take care of the pro- duction of that year, the United States increased it, and I believe I am speaking-correctly when I say that me quota we have with the ‘United States has fairly well taken care of surplus production of furs from Canada.

The ordinary run of silver breeding stock came largely from Canada. In Norway they had de- m m? 3,05,,“ o, _ bred in Canada at present, (lrinitii- could toll h m. veloped a specialty line. Persons who buy furs for considerable amounts of money, the people who could afford such luxuries. had be- come more or less tired of seeing QVETYOYIB with a silver fox fiir. and in Norway the producers dew-inp- ed special types. In the constit- uency of the hon. member for QlYAPDQIIe there is the breeder in Canada who perhaps has been most successful in producing types very similar f0 those produced by the Norwegians, and these types- the platinum fox-are being ship- ped to the United States from that stock.
