GOVERNMENT'S P0
Sir THOMAS WHITE! Well, tht:
lost to the country. Then we establis-
hcd a syntom of interior elevators in
thc West. Wo were most, interested
in that subject. We sold: What.cv`er
money is necessary we should spend.
Some doubt was raised as io ‘whether
these- interior elevators would be
used. It was thought that the grain
would not be detained ut these eleva-
tors but would find its why to the ter-
ml1111l.1 at the great terminal
points. What. has happened during the
Inst two yearn? These elevators have
been of thc greatest. possible value to
the people of' the West. When the-.war
broke o11t we appropriated $13,000,000
for seed grnln and supplies. It came
11:11:11 four. tlvo and six fold to the
people of this country. I am not tak-
ing n11y credit for these things. We
1lo not take credit ut all t°or what we
do on this side. If wc did less and
talked more we would be stronger
politically. If my right hon. friend has
done one half 'fc-r the people of -the
West what we have done since we
have been ln power he would have
gone 111 annual procession through
the West. I say in all sincerity that
lf we talked more and did less I be-
lieve we would he stronger politically
fn this country. llnt we are content
with doing.
Sir THOMAS L/\l.'I`lll".ll: You had'
better sit down then.
Sir THOMAS WHITE: I have learn
ed ln the course ot1m'y life that it fs
not always wise- to follow the advice
tendered ~by an opponent. My right
hon. friend perhaps remembers the
old Latin saying: 'Plmeo Danaon .et
11c~ns. ferentes-~ I fear the Greah11_
when they come hearing glftli. Whdn
my right hon. friend makes tt suggos-
tlon lt does not necessarily follow
that I arm wise to curry it out. I have
referred to a few of the measures
which 1he'Government has introduc-
ed.. Take the banking legislation.
We have amended tho Bank Act Ye-
peatedly in order that the farmer may

be abI6_t° hypothechte his cattle in

to meet the expetuliturcs of the war.
I stated in my Ilnllget last year that
if would be my object, to avoid direct
taxation upon the income or effects or
property of the farmer. Why did I
.say tllat-because I have repeatedly
said In this Ilouse that agriculture is
the very foundation of our national
prosperity. When all goes well with,
aizricnl1111'c, all goes well with every(

That is the reason why we have ad-
opted tl1c policy we have lu raising re-
vcnnc for thc purpose 01' meeting thc
oxp1~.n1lit.ure of t|1e war. It is well
for ttanalln t11at~wc' should ltavc divor-

that tends to promote diversified ln-
dustry throughout the length und

tho East should be wholly industrial;
it is not well that the West should he
