This pointed challenge to the King
administration came near the conclu-
sion of a forceful speech by I-lon.
Hugh Guthrie, acting Leader of the
opposition. in criticism of the main
points in the sixth Robb Budget and
lust before moving an amendment to
the motion for the House to so into
committee oi Ways and Means.
Mr._Guthrle, in moving his amend-
ment, said: "For the reasons I have
given, because this Government has
been absolutely nsglectiul of the in-
terests ol at least '15 per cent. of
the people of this country, neglectlul
of the interests of the agriculturist
and o! those engaged in industrial
employment, because the Government
has failed in every way to safeguard
and protect them, I boa to move the
following amendment, seconded hy

the financia1_propoaals of _the Gov-
ernment have no provision for reas-
onably safeguarding and protecting
the interests of those engaged in sg-
ricultural pursuits or in industrial
employment ln Canada."
In giving his warning to the pre-
sent Government that if they failed
'to properly meet the situation pre-
sented by thc new tariff threats con-
tained in President I-Ioover's inaugur-
al address, they would be promptly
removed from office. the acting Lead-
ler of the 0i1P°lition aroused deep
enthusiasm in the members behind
him, and at the conclusion of his
fepeech he was accorded an ovation
.iwhich continued for some time, and
‘which has in volume and sincerity
eight or nine years of Parliament.
‘ _ what Mr. Gunn-is use to say re-
garding President Hoover’s tariff
,threats, as disclosed in the inaugural
'address last Monday. follows:
' "On Monday last when the Presi-
dent of the United States delivered
Qhis inaugural speech at Washington
,he announced to his countrymen and
ite the world that he had summon-
, ed a special' meeting of Congress par-
iticularly to consider the fiscal policy
of the United States in regard to ag-

Trade With United States
“Now let us return to the trade
figures with the United States. It is
a matter of surprise that more than
one-half of our foreign trade is done
with the United States. Last year
our trade figures with the United
States gave us e. total in exports and
imports of 8,318,282,000. We import-
ed $825,741,000 and we exported $492,-
541,000. In other words, our imports
were $333,000,000 more _than our ex-
ports; our trade with the United
States resulted in an unfavorable bal-
ance of that amount. Now, if a fav-
orable balance of trade is a good thing
for a nation-and the Ministers an-
nouncement was heartily applauded
on the other side of the I-Ious¢.~wnat
do they say of our trade with the
United States when there is such an
enormous unfavorable balance? Will

“They applauded the favorable bill-
ancg of trade with the world. Will
they condemn our unfavorable bal-
ance ot trade with the United States?
"I submit, Mr. Speaker, that there
is something seriously 'wrong in re-
gard to the trade of this country
with the United States. I believe
I know what is wrong. I believe we
are buying too much from the Unlt-
ed States year in and year out. Every
year our purchases are increasing.

under these circumstances to obviate

such a govemment no permanent
dimculty at all events would arise.

Free-Trading Ministers
"I can imagine that it will not be
the easiest thins for my right hon-
orable friend the Prime Minister (Mr.
Mackenzie King). surrounded as he
is by such out-and-out free traders
ae the Minister of Agriculture (Mr.
Motherwell). the Minister of Rail-
ways (Mr. Dunning). the Minister et
the Interior (ur. stewart). who
would ring the death knoll oi pre-
and the Minister of Immigration (Mr.
Eorke.) I can understand that my
right honorable friend would have
dlmculty. But I` fancy that .these
four ministers will be found amen-
able toreesoa. I believethat in a
_few months' time we shell nnd that
they have become converts to the
doctrines which have been advocated
from this side of the House for a
ions time. and I can tell you that
the completeness and the suddenneca
of their conversion will place in the
background that great conversion
that took, place on the road to Da-
mascus. But what about that peculi-
ar type of free traders. Liberal iree
traders, whom we mid scattered
about in all the provinces of Can-
ada? what are we going to dc
about these loud-voiced. individuals
who give us no peace. these worship-
pers at the shrine oi’ Adam Smith.
these men who still dwell in the
political atmosphere of two centuries
ago?
"I think I can make a 'prediction
in that ieaard. I believe the word
of command will go to them. ‘Right

demand with alacrlty. Oh, the scales
will fall from the eyes of these hard~
