The following speech on the amendment (which was lost on d'vision) was! delivered. by Mr. J. H. Myers,'M.P.,| for Quepns. this Pfovince.__ _` Mr. .'i. H. Myers (Queens): I can assure you, Mr. Speaker. that _it is, the furthest thing from my thoughts or irons my desire to prolong .this debate or to prolong the session, wh'ch I consider should by nqw be pretty well over; but I feel I should be rerrdss in my duty to the farm- ers of ‘eastern Canada, at least to the farmers of Prince Edward Island' whom if have the honour to repre- sent in, this house, if I were to allow ih‘s amendment fo pass unnoticed. I have the greatest sympathy on earth .for the wheat farmers -of western Canada, and that remark, I believe, applies with equal force to those of us who are farmers and, bush . who :represent the 'farmers `not only the id‘mb°r'they *nt wt lutlyear in eaqtern butvin ccntrai`Cana»ds, as- sm think I af “Q i _ _. well.

' In the course of the discussion the delegatw found themselveg in some embarrassing situation. “To be or not to be" was the question. 'Hioy were faced with the necess- ity cf abrogating one of the ac- cepted principles of the U. F. A. movement if they approved of the bonus, and yet they realized that in these troublous times, the bon- us might be away out., In the first instance the con- .vent’on found itself approving of a resolution favouring the bonus. Then on s. motion to reopen the discussion on the resolution was rejected, following Mr. Gardin- er's address. ` The original resolution, No. 83 on the list, was submitted by the 'Grand Prairie, D. A., and read as follows: "Whereas we appreciate the bonus on wheat' by the Dominion Government, befng a step in the right direction, and “Whereas there is no bonug for other agricultural products ' “Therefore be it resolved that we demand that' the Dominion Govemmcnt bonus agricultural ‘ wholwore there for a cel-tam pu,-. pose. My Presbyterian constituents ' will after a while begin to wonder llllt the hon. _ member has any tariffs can never be equitable," wheat on which to ask for a bonus. The Mr. Macklin asked for the opin- ion of Robert Gardiner in that he would have the relponsibility of advocating the policy adopted in the Home of Commons. and this is what our friend the ° member for Acadia (liar. Gardiner) said: “My view is that bonuses and said Mr. Gardiner. "A bonus of this dncription would be no re- lief to agriculture." Those who produced the real wealth of the bonus and production into the ffumry we” th” W” wh° “U52 ave to PHY. he said, and t farmers would have to pay for the bonus themselvw. I The rgrport continues: i The debate lasted two hours and at times was heated, but the Cimflse in sentiment was complete. When the final vote was taken the bonus resolution had few SWi>°fters and a. demand arose for the elimination of the request for extension of the present wheat bonus fo an acreage basis, The hour of adiournment prevented debate on th’s and it will likely arise again, i let will _ In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, me say this, and just one word do me. It is true that agriculture in Canada. as in every other coun- try. is in very bad shape now. We "0 S011? for that. but as Mr. Rice Sheppard whom I have just quoted said, we have simply got to tighten our belts and look pleasant.
