Today the con- ditions are different and persons who have invested their money in the safest securities available, find themselves without any income. In the Mother Country, gold stand- ards nnd other standards have been thrown into the discard. There are, however, hopeful signs in Canada indicating that our external trade is experiencing a. revival. Perhaps the best hope lies in the forthcoming Imperial Con- summer. It is expected that at this conference a. great step for- ward will be made in co-ordlnat- Commonwealth. . Continuing, Mr. Strong expressed regret at the low prices prevailing for agricultural products. Unfor- tunately the farmers in his con- stituency went in largely for pot- ato growing. The Government has -done ‘its utmost to have _ the British-embargo on potatoes re- moved ond is to be _commcnded for its efforts in this regard. We are all disappointed that the Brit- ish Government has refused to lift the embargo, despite the rep- resentotlons made by Canadian delegations, showing that the pot- ato bug, the alleged reason for the embargo, is not carried in poi;- ato. shipments. The speaker felt sore that if the embargo could be removed, the present congestion in the potato market here would te cleared up within two months. New Portfolio The Government's good fortune in having a. man of the ability of Hon. DrxvW. J. P. Macmillan, to fill the portfolio of Minister of Health and Education was refer- rccl to by Mr. Strong, who review- ed the career of Dr. Maclviiilon and his activities in connection with the work ovcr which be now presides. ‘ It was o. matter of congratula- tion also that the Province now has a. mu time iicéiiri officer. Efforts made to improve live- stock production were also refer- rcd to. Boys and girls clubs were organized a few years ago through co-opci-atlvc efforts on the part of. the federal and provincial govern- ments. for. the further advance- ment of the livestock industry of New .

In this connection Mr. Strong said there were tulelve calf encl heifer clubs in the Prov- nce. Judging teams from curb club attended the Amherst Fair where one team representing the Province was selected to enter the all-Canada competition at the Royal Winter Fair. “This which was composed of Miss Hope Jardine and Mr. Elinor Waugh. of the Freetown Holstein Heifer Club, captured fourth place in the cun- petition at the Royal, making r. highly creditable showing. It was hoped, Mr. Strong con- tinued. that something further would bc donehtovencolirage poul- e most. important industry f-i the Province. Dealing with the silver fox in- dustry, Mr. Strong said there are‘ now about 3,000 fox farms in the Province. ~ It is estimated that fromv30,000 to 40,000 fox pelts were placed on the market this season. Owing to market conditions, these pe"s did not fetch as high a price as last year. but the money obtained and put into circulation, was most use- ful to our agricultural community. , Predicts Decrease The outlook at present, he ad- ded, is for a decrease in the out- put of foxes and fox pelts ~for the coming year. Referring to the destroyed Fnlconwood Hospital, Mr. Strong emphasized the fact that the building was not in. keep- ing wlth modern requirements. The new institution, when constructed. he believed, should bl: made up of small, detached buildings, centrally heated and administered and built so as to give the maximum amount of air and sunlight and to reduce fire loss to a minimum. fire which The destruction of Prince of Wal- es College tbome at a time when the Province could ill afford to cmlbark on any extensive programme of ex- lpenditure. Nevertheless the need of the college is o. pressing, one and it, will be necessary to rebuild the institution at the earliest moment. The completion of the Provincial Sane/torium during the past YE!" marks a step forward in our public health service, and ll; ls plea-Wig to note that an up-to-date institution is new available. In the present serious situation economy should be the slogan of all departments of Government. The speaker therefore urged upon the electors not to press for expenditure of momsy for improvements which they can got along without. Though the road may b¢ hard and the ascent steep, if we all oo-oper- ete Mr. Strong fell. we would event- ually attain even greater prosperity than we‘, have heretofore enjoyed and Canada will emerge stronger than ever from the present period of depression. MR. W. A. STEWART Congratulations to the Speaker, Hon. Dr. A. A. MacDonald,‘ were warmly tendered by Mr. W. Allan Stewart in secondlng the address. Stewart also complimented the mover (Mr. Strong) on his able speech, which left little for him to 85y. The speaker paid a warm tribute to the late Hon. Leonard MlaNcill and voiced the satisfaction of the citizens of Charlottetown and (lic Province generally on the visit re- ‘ cently of the Governor General. The holding 0t‘ the Imperial Con- ference was described by Mr. Slew- art as one of the promising signs of the immediate future, for the Ehnplre and for Canada. It was also. ho remarked. a worthy tribute to the pol-icy of staiesmanshlp of the Premier of Canada. The business depression, Mr. Ste-war; continued. was not it new thing. We have had many such periods in the past. Rcgrettabiy, it has affected our agricultinists and ‘ has reacted on tho merchants and manufacturers. It ivas gratifying to note. however. that this Province has suffered less than many other parts. Olie reason for_ this, Mr. Stewart believed, was that our people are frugal and euterpriiflmg and have sci. something aside to carry them OVOI‘ situations of this Y'__lrind. m.

The work carried oninond around Charlottetown under the unemploy- ment grant was reviewed and com- mended. The pulblic agitation for e Provincial Sanatorium resulting in the erection of ‘the present institu- tion was also mentioned npprov-i lngly. The regrettable destruction of Faiconwood, Mr. Stewart, hoped, would result in the construction a.’ a. modem building with adequate fire fighting apparatus and satis- factory water supply. The Govern- ment was to be commended upon having temporary quarters for thei Infirmary and male Falconwooclj patients fitted up so expeditiously. f 'I‘.he citizens of Charlottetown, the speaker added, showed a commend- able spirit in assisting at the Fol- conwood fire. Special credit was due EX-MBYOI‘ Prowse and City Conn- clllore, also the members of the Fire Department, who worked all through the night and despite lack 9f water supply succeeded in saving the ad- joining buildings. . Mr. Stewart thoroughly approved‘ of the proposal mentioned in the Speech to introduce a Workmanfls Compensation Act. Economy is very necessary at the present time and it is the Govem- nicnfls policy not to embark‘ on an" elaborate programme of public works. Nevertheless Mr. Stewart believed that every ah- tcntlon should be given to keeping the roads smooth for traffic. The tourist traffic was the one bright spot in the immediate future and should be catered to. MR.

The present elonomic crisis; Mr. Lea continued, had been de- veloping for twenty or thirty years.’ If was due largely to the parlgwhich machinery played in replacing man power. Wc were approaching a. period of depres- sion when the War broke out. Since the war, the creation of surplus commodities appeared to be piling up. Each nation now is attempting to sell where they are refusing to buy, a situation which must be remedied before recovery can take place. , Mr. Lee. believed he was the last week by reason of o severe col Mr. W. M. Lea, leader of the Op- position, made his first appearance yesterday and spoke for the first time during the session in the de- bate on the Draft Address. He first congratulated the Speaker", stating that it would be giving iuvay no state secret to say that he, Mr. Lea, had anticipated the Speaker's election, which he believed was a wcil merited one. The late Hon. Mr. MacNclli had fillcd the position of Minister oi‘ Public Works with credit, Mr. Lea said. Indeed,~he believed the choice had been a wise one and he deeply regretted his death and tendered his sincere sympathy to the bereav- cd family. The Opposition leader warmly commended the mover (Mr. Strong) and secondcr (Mr. Stewart) on their address.."I don't know whether I should extend my congratulations to the leader of the Government,” he added. “I don't know whether it is customary." The financial dc- prcssion, he believed, greatly as- sisted the Conservative campaign in the last provincial election. The leader of the Government, Mr. Lca understood, had publicly expressed appreciation of The Gilardlan and Mr. George DcBlols for their assistance in winning lbc election. So far as The Guardian was concerned, Min Lea bciicvcd it lied supported the party faitiifuilly and well, leaving no stone unturned that would in any way strengthen the chances of the Conservative lcrulcr, As for Mr. DcBlois, lie was a. generous gentleman and deserved thanks for the contribution which he made towards the Ssnatorlum, without which the institution would not have been constructed as ad- vantageously as it was. Neverthe- less Mr Lea was at a loss to know in. what way Mr. DcBlois contrib- uted to the success of the Conserv- ative lceclcrs campaign unless it was in connection with a speech which Mr. DcBlols had mode at a political meeting ovcr which he had . presided during the election con-i best.
