March 29 _.wi|;h g, report due on Senator James Canaan's resolution asking ed drive on the part of some legis- lators to take the billion dollar broadcasting business away from private hands. It -is not expected government ownership forces will be strong enough to makemuch pro- gress slorig that line. .3ut_,,_ Senator Carmen's move may result. in limit- ation of advertising time. One check which the industry is almost bound to suffer at this sea- son of congress is a five per cent tax on the sale-of radio receiving sets: It is not improbable. moreover a tax may be but upon broadcasting. This tax would help to pay the $1,000,000 s year now paid by 1PM Government to the Radio Commis- sion and the radio division of the Department of Commerce. There a bill before the House of Repre- sentatives io merge these two bodies as s matter of economy.

Mr. Stewart tabled answers to some questions. _ Hon. Mr. Sharp introduced an Act to Amend the Fish and Game Pro- tection Act, 1928. The bill was read a first time. Third reading was given 'to an Act to incorporate the Montreal Trust Company. ' Oh motion of Mr. il-lunter the House resumed committee reading, with Mr. Strong in the chair, of an Act to amend an Act respecting seed or fertilizer mortgages upon potato crops. Clause l of the existing statute, passed in i930. provides that “no mortgage, bill of sale, lien, charge, incumbrance. conveyance, trans- fer Oi‘ assignment made. executed or created and which is intended to operate and have effect as a. secur- ity siiali, in so far as the some as- sumes to bind, comprise, apply to or afloat any growing crop of potatoes, or crop of potatoes to be grown in future, in whole or in part, be valid except the same be made, ex- ecuted or created as a security for the purchase price and interest thereon of seed potatoes or fertil- lzer." The amending bill purposes to add to the above section the words: f “or as a security for the perform- ance of an agreement to sell, de- liver or barter potatoes in consid- eration of the sale, delivery or bar- ter of seed potatoes or fertilizer." To this clause Mr. Thane A. Campbell moved on Thursday last the following amendment: “Pro- - vided that any such security may be redeemed by the delivery to the mortgagee within (blank) months from the giving thereof of s. suffi- cient quantity of potatoes at the current market price after deduct- ing a commission for the mortgagee a not exceeding (blank) per cent of ‘ the said price." (The mover subsequently filled in the blanks with the words, “ten" months and "twenty" per cent.) Mr. Campbell's ‘amendment was discussed. '- Mr. Hunter explained that the ob- ject of the bill was simply to make binding the contract between the farmer and the fertilizer dealer. He did not think Mr. Campbell's amendment would apply to this matter. Mr. T. A. Campbell said he could not‘ see this point. There was nothing in the 1930 Act to prevent the-parties from making an agree- ment that the fertilizer be paid for with potatoes if the merchant or dealer was prepared to accept po- tatoes. But under the provisions of the 1930 Act the farmer was priv- ileged to pay in cash and if he did so the dealer must accept the cash and release the mortgage. This bill is introduced to hold the farm- er down to paying in potatoes and at a fixed price. The purpose of his, Mr. Campbell's endment, was to protect the farmers against unscrupulous dealers who might wish to gamble on potatoes at the expense of the farmer. Mr. Camp- bell took exception to an editorial and forum letter in the press sug- gesting that the whole of the 1930 Act could be scrapped and the farmer could then make what lir- rangement he pleased including the mortgaging of his crop. It is true, Mr. Campbell said, that prior to the 1930 Act the farmer could ar- range to pay in money or produce as he pleased. but such arrange- ment was merely a personal agree- ment and did not operate as a mortgage or security. It was owing to this difficulty, Mr. Campbell said, that the 1030 Act was passed. He submitted that the terms of the Act were broad enough to admit of an agreement such as is contem- plated by the bill now in commit- tee, namely, that the fertilizer may be paid for in potatoes as well as in cash. He did not think there was any need of this bill being in- troduced, as it does not place the farmers in any better position. On the contrary, it seems to have been brought in solely for the advant- age of the dealers who wish to get hold of the farmers‘ potatoes. Mr. Hunter said he had it on good authority that the fertilizer people would not enter into any Blfeement under the present Act. Mr. Campbell: "That is what I was saying; it is for the benefit of tho fertilizer companies." Mr. Hunter: "All they are asking ‘is that whatever contract is enter- ed into will be lived uP W’ Mr. Lea said that last YB" m8 dealers wished to have an Act passed to cause the farmer to de- liver potatoes at a fixed Pr!“ and they would contract to have Pol-B- toes delivered at 30 or 40 Gen!!- They undoubtedly felt at that time that they were playing W“? ‘hey believed that by fixinB s price they were going to 88¢ the Mill-Wes cheaper than they could be pur- chased in the fall of the year. They gambled and lost, like many other people during tho last few years. Mr. Lea could not see, with the present planting in the United States, how the fertilizer people would be taking any great risk this year. It was inconceivable that p0- tatoes next year will be so low that the dealers will not be able to obtain the value of their fertilizer out of the farmers’ entire potato crop. What he feared was some dealers being in a position to con- trol the seed potato market in the Southern States. Hon. Mr. McLean said he under- stood the Act of 1930 gave dealers in fertilizer power to accept mori- gages on the fertilizer crop in ex- change for fertilizer or seed pota- toes and ‘the present bill simply changes that power from a chat- tel mortgage to a contract. Mi‘. Leo's suggestion that dealers might be able to control the market in the Southern States was, he thought, a far fetched idea. Even if a dealer could control all the Island potatoes it would be a mere bagatelle to the market require- ments of the Southern States. There were numbers of formers, Mr. McLean explained, whose posi- tion was such that they could not offer security and if special pro- vislon is not made to enable them to secure their fertilizer t! is year they will have no potato crop next year. Our farmers have golic behind; they have got to make up what they lost and with conditions as at present it looks as if they can make up that loss if they can obtain their fertilizer. Mr. LePage said the title of the bill showed that it did not refer to contracts but to mortgages. The fertilizer dealers and not the farm- ers were asking for this legislation. It was not fair, he thought, that the House should allow the farm- ers to be exploited in this way. The 1930 Act gave sufficient security to the fertilizer dealers. They will bc able, he believed, to sell their pro- duct this spring at a profit, and if they have to wait six months they will add the interest charges to the price. If they are secured in such a way that they can get cash, what more do they require. A more serious objection, he thought, was the point raised by Mr. Lea, of giv- ing large corporations the power to contract for large quantities of potatoes and safeguarding them- selves by selling their potatoes at a margin of profit in the Southern States, thus entering into competi- tion with the Island potato grow- ers. to the detriment of the latter. Mi‘. T. A. Campbell said if a mortgage was not being provided for there would be no need of leg- islating, because farmers and deal- ers can, without any legislation, make whatever contracts or agree- ments they wish. What this bill proposes to do is not to enable these men to make s. contract or agreement among themselves but to make such contract or agree- ment binding on the farmers pot- atoes. Mr. J. A. MacDonald: “Not un- less they wish it." After further discussion by Messrs. MacDonald. Campbell Dennis, Lea, LePage andI-loii. Mr. McLean. progress was reported, the committee asking leave to sit again. On motion of Ml‘. Strong the House went into committee. with Mr. Hunter in the chair, on an Act to amend the Summcrside Incorporation Act, 1023. The am- endment, the promoter explained, is to empower the Town Council to issue $25,000 debentures for the Purilosc of constructing an ad- dition to the Summcrsidc l-ligh School, and $30,000 debentures for permanent streets. After discussion, the bill was filmed to without amendment. On motion of. Ion. IVIJ‘. Muc- Lean the House wcnt into com- mittee, with Ml‘.
