It involves a consideration of the policies of the lGovernment, the various govern- lincut services which are maln- taiiied, the tiecessity of these ser- vices. and ttie efficiency of them; fund it involves, of course, con- sideration also 0t the record o! zthe Government in, the past year particularly, and in the years preceding it. _ “Those are the things which are proper to consider, and We must. of course. consider them agulnst the broad background of world land Canadian conditions how and in the near futuic.‘ “This ancient Assembly has dealt with this same duty on many an occasion.

One Important Industry "we all agree that we 1191's 011E important industry in this Pro- vince, that we are essentially 11110 fundamentally an asrvtilttirill province.

I was ialcascd tonight to see how, hi spite of advancing years he was able to give us such a vigor- ous address. I think that his De- puty and the men associated with hlni are trying to do their best also. What I refer to is the policy of the Government reflected in the relatively small amount of money which they see fit to dc- .vote, out of the whole expendi- Lure of the Government-to Agri- culture.

If it was anv worse I don't know what would have happened to agriculture.

The govern- ment has no. managed lt that these prices were brought up to this level, rather the government has managed it that these prices shall not go above that level. No Equality of Sacrifice “This is perhaps not the prob- leni for this government, but it has a bearing on the duty of the government in relation lo its policy. And it is this: that the federal government in its man- agement. of Canada's affairs ls not arranging [hlllgd so that there shall be control nf sacri- fices in the prosecution of our war effort. The result is that so far us" the agricultural war effort is concerned, there is r1. wonderful service being performed by the farmer. We are foi-cecl to the conclusion that no class of men in the _Dcmlnion are pcrfoi-miiig the sci-vices they are iierloritiing.
