“The Ottawa Spot hi”
—!:e:-— (By Spectator)
(Weekly Review of National Affairs) —:0;:—
Ottawa, April 20th-—— That most bat- fling of all government problems, un- employment is again being discussed in the House of Commons, Of course it comes up whenever the occasion of- fers, because the existence of the large body of unemployed is one of those facts which cannot be denied. A new link in the chain of measures dealing with this urgent question = is the national forestry programme re- cently announced by the Minister of Labour. The object of the legislation which will entail the expenditure of a million deiiara, possibly more, is to give further employment and training to young men, to protect and develop forests and to conserve wild life. There has of course been a ilament- able waste mainly through tires in the great national heritage, the wood- lands, during past decades,
Leading the opposition attack on the whole question of unemployment Mr Denton Massey of ‘loronto, in a four hour speech, discussed emMploy- ment and unemployment, relief for transient unemployed, training tor the youth of the country, Canada’s trade and the administration’s trade polic- ies, He suggested a policy of eleven points including the development of Northern districts and their resources, a forestry plan, national roadways, u nationwide programme of tourist dev- elopment, a housing scheme in cO-op- eration with the provinces, and with municipalities, a programme for the reestablishment of youth, co-operation with private enterprise and a Vomin: fon, provincial and municipal conter: | ence headed by Lord Willingdon to deal with the whole problem of recon- struction and rehabilitation, The speech was from the standpoint of the opposition ‘in purlament. On the other side of the picture you have of course the various measures adopted by the government including housing and municipal improvement programmes, youth training and many other plans! tor relief of unemployed and the ex- pansion of employment.
Social Credit in Parliament—
The parliamentary exponent, of the social credit doctrine have not lost) their ardor for their theories on bank- ing currency and credit, The Minister of Finance in a resolution, asked parl- iament to give the government the authority to borrow a large sum to Pay or redeem “the whole of any por- tion of loans and obligations of an- ada, and also purchasing and with- drawing from circulation unmatured securities of Canada and for public’ work and general purposes.” ‘he am-| ount asked was 750 million dollars. A social credit member suggested that) Canada should issue 600 million dol-, lars in currency to redeem an equival- ent amount of the public debt of Can-| ada, and thus save interest, The issue of this money in the opinion of the member would not mean monetary in- flation-although the Minister of Fin-| ance had an opinion directly opposed to this, The social credit group wanted ut least that the amount needed tor! “public works and general purposes”) should be covered by the issuance of! currency,
An “expansionist,” not an “intlation- ist” policy is being pursued by the} Bank of Canada, the Minister of Fin- ance explained to the house. Under the Bank of Canada Act, that bank can and’ does control the volume of currency in existence. Expert officials of the’ bank study continuously the currepey
situation, to determine how much should be in existence ‘from day to day, from week to week and from
Month to month.” This currency con- trolling body studies the question of currency circulation, the object being) to “maintain a reasonable equilibrium in the business of the country.’ Mr Dunning further pointed out that | his opinion, the Canadian banking system as now operated” is in a More: secure position in relation to its depos: itors than it has ever been before in| the whole history of Canada.” | Agricultural Policy— | The government's agricultural pol- icy is being further rounded out by new bills being introduced in pariia- ment. It is a very extensive program. The encouragement of cooperetive warketing is one of the main features of the policy. In addition to the meas ures which deal with wheat, there is @ bill which encourages cooperative marketing in other grains besides wheat, in milk and milk products, veg- etables and vegetable products, live- stock and livestock products, fruit and fruit products, poultry and poultry
products, honey, maple syrup, tobacco!
. “and any other product designated by;
the Governor in Council.” Un these producta the cooperatives will make. an initial payment to producers, and, the government guarantees the coop- eratives against logs through this pay- ment, It is explained that the initial price will ‘not exceed eighty per cent of the average wholesale price of such! product over the three years preceding the year of production.” Of course the producers will receive the benefit of any extra price received by the coop:' eratives, less the charges for ‘ ‘proces: | sing, carrying and selling.”
The cheese industry is to be sided! by an act which grovides for a pay tent by the government of half the cost of “constructing, reconstructing and equipping cheese factories. Insula-, tion aad refrigerating plants will improved, ‘Ihe goverhment also will; pay @ premium of two ceats a pound on “all cheese which scores ninety-' four per cent or more points on srad-; ing by a dairy produce grader.”
The objectives of the government program seem to be to set up an agri- cuvfttural economy which will retain the advantages of individual initiative; to be in a position to compete in rofeign markets with countries which have government controlled monopolies; to improve the quality of products and to ensure @ more continuous supply of our products, The cooperative system which will, it ie intended, play an im- portant part inthe scheme, is of course voluntary, but inducements are made through the initial guaranteed price for producers to Use this system extensively for marketing their pro-: ducta,

Address by John Martin Of Massey- sey-Harris Co., Ltd.
Pioneer Days Recalled in | Rotary Address
The vast changes that have been el-| fected in farming through the use of! labour-saving implements aud on the! part that modern farm machinery is| playing, in reducing the ltarmer’s cost of production, were the highlights in an address on “The New bra in Agri- culture” given betore the Rotary Club} of Toronto, last week, by John Martin of the Massey-Harrigs Company.
Mr Martin, by striking contrasts of) production figures, brought home {¢o)/ his audience the importance of — agri- culture in Canada, showing that the} value of the fodder crops of Canada for 1937 amounted to $138,0uU,00U-- whereas that for the total gold produe tion of Canada, for the saime year was $148,000,000, or “practically the same amount for fodder—just feed for hors es and cattle, as for the gold produce. tion of Canada”, and that “the dairy production of Ontario and Quebec alone was $157,000,000 or $14,000,000 | more than for the total gold produc tion of Canada.” |
“The Story of the development ol. agriculture from the small clearings of the pioneer days to the larger acre uges of today,” the speaker said “was largely the story of the introduction and development of farm implements and Canadians had played a most im portant part in it.”
Exports Important to National
Economy— “Men like the Harris's, Massey's, Wisner’s, Patterson's, Verity's, Cock-
shutt’s, Frost and Wood, had put Canada right in the forefront of | im plement making in the world,” he saic and told how the small plant in Newcastle by Daniel Massey in 1843 had grown and of the amalgamation, with the Harris Company in 1891. How) the business spread to 52 countries ol the world and spoke of it as being as firmly established in the business oj a score of other countries 4s in its Own native land,
“As a result of its export business, Massey-Harris,” he said, “in the ten year period trom 1828-1938, spent in Canada $21,261,000 more than the to tal of all its sales in Canada, surely a worth while contribution to the na- tional economy of Canada.”

Pearkes’ Address— Reviewing brielly the events immed- jutely prior to the Capture ot Vimy Ridge, the Brigadier stated that this Was the first really important assign ment for the Canadian forces. Apart from the importance of the site, strat- egically, be said that the battle was of inestimable value in making “the fellows trom the Maritimes to the Western Coast, trom olfice workers to fucclory hands, realize that they Were all trom Canada, that hey were @ unit ed group, and nol a number of unrelat- ed units, Looking over preseut nalion- al complications, said Mr Learkes, could we say that we had not lost Is it mot time view-
sight of this great lesson,, time to learn it all over again— tellow's point?
Reverting to the time immediately following the — holo- caust, the Brigadier pointed out that the great Coustruction step taken = in the peace Legollalious Was the Lorma- tion of the League of Nations. ‘The world, said he, Was tired even exhaus- ted with war, and wanted desperately some Ollier Means of satisiactorily set Uing international disputes, ibere must be international disputes, he as- since naturally we do Dot all see eye to eye.

based on work, and her foreign trade policy Was a straight barter, book- keeping system. It is felt said the
speaker that Hitler's great drive has
nearly reached its climax, and also that he realizes this himself. His last coup May show a despera-
lion, said the Brigadier, to relieve the inordinate strain placed on his people, and a crisis in the near future was al- most inevitable. There are two alter natives for Hitler, either co-operation with the democracies, andi expansion of trade treaties, or threats of force and war itself
No country desires peace more uni formly or more unanimously than Can- ada, he asserted, but the fact that we export what other countries want may, he said, lead to serious complica: tions. Hence our government has found it necessary to increase enor- mously the appropriations for defence
All things we love as a people are being challenged, he pointed out, and if Britain enters another war, it~ will be rather in the spirit of a crusade, and our battle song, far from “Lipper. ary” would be somewhat akin to that of Cromwell's Ironsides, “Christians, Up and Smite Them,”
Just as those who enlisted in the | last great conflict, felt that what they | were fighting for was worth their all, so may we soon feel it worth while to go for what we perceive to be “Per: haps an even greater cause.”

CANADA'S PLACE IN THE FUTURE

We hear occasionally, not trequently
discussions such as What of Canada’s Future? Should she retain her place in the British Commonwealth of Nations
or should she become a part of the
large Republic to the South?
The following reasons given by W.
M. Davidson in his column in The Al bertan, and to which we scribe, are telling and convincing,

very many reasons, the more ant of which are as follows (i) bx tension of trade and widening of mar

HITLER, MUSSOLIN| AND ROOSEVELT

(4) Canada nas a most important an dresponsible place in the scheme of things because of its unique relations with both Britain and United States. While Canada retains its present status, self governing aut- onomous and fully independent in the British Commonwealth on the one hand, and its close association with its powerful neighbor on the other hand, there will never-— can never be war between Britain) and United States. If Canada ever loses its inde- pendent status on the one hand or Joins United States on the other hand, disappear, Be-
Gone are the days of the rough and ready fit that at one time characterized some of the working assemblies of farm machinery.
The farmer, himself, now a more experienced mechanician, makes more exacting demands of the machines that are to perform the various Operations in a farming that now has to measure up to higher standards of efficiency.
New steels of special formula give lightness with greater strength and longer wear, and the closer limits of fine machining, the thousandths-of- an-inch limits and tolerances of tractor bearings and clearances have necessitated new smooth- ness of operation in most farm machines.
The better materials, precision machining and friction-free bearings that are now embodied
MASSEY-HARRIS COMPANY LIMITED
in the implements of today, give greater value in farm machines at the prices at which they are being sold than in any previous period.
And modern farm machines mean more to the farmer now than ever, for in addition to making ever lighter the heavy jobs of farming, they make more efficient his every effort and operation, helping him to combat the problems peculiar to farming and to keep his costs at a point that leaves him a margin, even at low prices,
Thus has the implement maker translated into money-making advantages for the farmer the latest discoveries in engineering and industry, and it is the prompt and highly practical manner in which Massey-Harris has made these avail- able in new and improved machines that gives it the high standing it enjoys in the industry.

Good News of 1939—

ual amount of Wheats have moved to the usual markets from the usual countries and at prices that have re! mained astonishingly stable through-
out the entire month, the Ww hole
world has been living during the past; 31 days in a state of suspense between} peace and war. Should war occur the’ demand wor wheat would undoubtedly | sharply increase and prices would rise considerably, Should the lear of war definitely pass, and peace be assured, then for a time countries would begin| gin to drawupon their accumulated war stocks and so would require to im- port less, then prices no doubt would) decline,
In the long run, however, the settle Ment of present international dilticul | ties would unquestionably start a) sharp increase in world trade that} would quickly result in increased de mands by the people of the world for} raw materials, Wheat and other food: stuffs, which they badly need. Vast sums, too, now being expended by many countries for armaments, would also be released for the purposes of building and construction and other forms of trade, business and com- merce,
Much, then, it
would appear, de- pends upon the willingness and the! ability of the statesmen of the world to remove those disabilities and irrita tions from which some uations now} feel they are suffering,
