Mulock A similar harmony between [the two parties prevailed while the amend- ments to the Farm Loan Act were being introduced These extend the provisions of the federal act to three new provinces, namely, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Prince Edward Island, and the sum which the Farm Loan Board is empowered to loan is ex- tended from Forty Millions to Ninety Millions. (When originally created, it was only Fifteen Millions). It was repeatedly stressed that agriculture can’t pay high interest rates. (Scientific Attack on Drought) An important statement of policy [in regard to the “dried-out” areas of lthe west was made by Hon. Robert Weir, the Minister of Agriculture” It is announced that a long-range scientific attack on this problem is about to be made by the federal gov- ernment, co-operating with the pro-I vincial authorities, eminent citizens in the affected areas, and the farm-] ers themselves. .u‘ ’vacation. Mr. Mackenzie King’s ab- ‘ sence from the House possibly indi- cated that he was about to emerge shortly with the first of his ‘fire- side addresses’ to the Canadian peo- ple in which he will seek (over the radio) to emulate the prime minister, _ â€"at least to answer him. The gov- ernment’s selfâ€"approbation in respect to the Ottawa agreements, which took the form of a private member’s reso- lution, obviously inspiredl, produced a flood of oratory and statistics on both sides of the House. Some of the addresses which have been ‘on ice’ since the sudden collapse of the debate on the Throne Speech were taken out of the refrigerator and made to serve another purpose on the Ottawa agreement debate. You can’ti Iexpect a member to spend long hours during the recess preparing a master- piece which he believes will stun an admiring house, to pass up such an opportunity to place it on Hansard. (Statistics Versus Statistics) No good purpose would be served by a detailed account of these speech- es; the government members said the Ottawa agreements had been the salâ€" vation of agriculture, and industry generally, and quoted figures to prove it: the opposition said, in effect, that they hadn’t been worth a hoot, that business would have revived just as well without them; and they, too, quoted figures. The Independent Groups in the corner rebelled against being placed on record on a resolution endorsing the Agreements, on the ground that it was like the old ques- tion: “Have you stopped beating your The resolutions concerning fish 1bait and beam trawlers served to give the “Blue Nose” members a. field day: and a good deal was heard about the plight of the fisherman, and the remedies which must be applied. There seemed to be serious diver- gence of opinion as to the best means; but there was striking unanimity be- tween the two sides as to the need‘ fori-elief. wife?” Moreover, they objected to the idea of a member on the govern- ment side patting the government on the back for its achievements, and using private members’ day to do it in: if once that policy was well start- ed, there would be no end to it: and the private members would lose a lot of useful time in the process. “On With Reform,” they demanded.

It is hoped the house seemed- to be away onithat these government demonstratior The Week in Pariiament By Wilfrid Eggleston Section 132 of the British North American Act does, indeed, give the ‘federal government some powers in [respect to the fulfilment of obligaâ€" ‘tions. For example, if Canada as a nation agrees with some other country Though it did‘ not come to the sur- face during the week, the question of the right of the federal government to pass the national unemployment insurance measure, compulsory in all provinces, the eight-hour day, max- imum hours, etc., has been the inspir- ation of a good deal of quiet delving among the court decisions of the past. Canada has undertaken in the past, by signing treaties and agreeing to conventions at the League of Nations, to bring about reforms in the realm of social legislation, and Premier Bennett evidently believes that these agreements give the Ottawa govern- ment the power to pass the present bills dealing with such things. (Not Too Radical) ‘ ‘11; was apparent in the debate upon the nationalization of the chartered and central banks that the zeal for the reform of capitalism has not reached the stage in either major party at which the socializing of our financial structure is approved. 0f ‘ course the way in which the resolution ‘ was presented, linking as it did in one resolution the central bank and the chartered banks, made it difficult to 1obtain a true opinion of all parties ion it. In the main. the Liberal mem- bers are in favor of a publicly-owned central bank, and if the resolution had been confined to that, it is more than likely that they could have sup- ported it. But to take over the present ‘chartered banksâ€"the private banks of Canadaâ€"and make them into a. 'publicly-owned institultion or series of institutions, along the lines of the Canadian National Railway, is an- other story. This country may even- tually come to publiclyâ€"owned finance machinery in all particulars, but it was evident that'the resolution was too far ahead of current opinion to get much support yet. As a matter of cold fact, when you come to a ‘show down’ the radiccilism of either the Liberal or Conservative parties, bolstered even by the ‘New Deal’ spirit of 1915, is not very revolution- ary after all. It seems to be satis- fied to make minor changes in the direction of badly-needed social legis- lation. It really does not attack capitalism at all; nor does it threaten the ‘profiLmotive’. Leading states~ men may be carried away in radio addresses to praise John Strachey, Litvinoff or Sir Stafford Cripps, but‘ we are a long way behind even thecomparatively conservative radicalsi of that school. Perhaps just as well.i l As an attack on the problem of drought, soil drifting, insect pests, etc.; typical areas will be selected from each region, and will be convert- ed into demonstration and research stations, where government funds can 'be freely employed in ‘a scientific study of the capabilities and limita- ‘tions of that region, soils, climate, plants, suitable stock, etc., will br considered.

It is hoped that these government demonstratior [stations will assist farmers in finding ‘ways and means of coping with the ‘drought so far as present scientifir developments will permit. As an example of what these stations can do for the farmer, Hon. Robert Weir mentioned the illustration station at Manyberries, where some valuable experiments in grasses suitable for checking soil drifting have been car- ried out. The crested‘ wheat grass, brought from the dry steppesl of Siberia, promises to be very useful. It is capable of withstanding very severe drought, once it has taken a good catch, and it is about as nutri-i tious as the “Buffalo grass!” prairie wool which originally clothed thei prairie. The sculling race‘between Edward Hanlan and William Clifford came off on the Paramatta River on Saturday last, and resulted in an easy victory for the Canadian. Hanlan is to meet‘ Beach, his former vanquisher, on the 28th of March. The Richmond Hill Fire Brigade met in- the Lorne Hall on Friday eve- ning, Feb. 6th. Lieut. Pugsley in the chair. A report from Foreman Redâ€" ditt showed' that the officers are the same as last year. Fireman A. B.‘ Wilson moved, seconded by T. F. Mc-i Mahon that Mr. Jos. Hall be accepted as a fireman. The. motion carried.‘ On motion, the Treasurer was in- structed to present the Cornet Band‘ with $5.00 for services on New Year’s‘ night. Fireman Trench gave noticel that at the next meeting he would‘ move that the practices be held once a month, instead of fortnightly asl heretofore, during the coming sum- mer. The Secretary was instructed to notify by post card all the members of next regulaf meeting. to observe certain air or radio regu. Iations, it naturally undertakes so far as possible to carry them out. But whether this treaty power extends so far as to enable Canada to pass the program of social legislation which was forecast in the Speech from the Throne, and make it stick so far as all of the provinces is concerned, is a subject under dispute. Some Su-' preme Court judgments on the subject indicate that while Canada is obligated after signing conventions or agree- ments in respect to any matter, to lay them before the proper authorâ€" ities in Canada, that is as far as the obligation extends. Mr. Salem Eckardt has received“ in- structions from Mr. Wm. Cook to sell by public auction on Lot 16, 2nd COIL, Vaughan, on Thursday, March 5th,‘ his farm stock, implements, etc. Sale without reserve as the proprietor has rented his farm. Sale to commence at 12 o’clock shrap. Lunch provided. At the late meeting of the County. Council the following assessments for the villages in the county were struck: Richmond Hill, $176,000}; Palrkdble, $1,275,000; Newmarket, $515,000; Aurora, $331,000; Holland Landing, $95,000; Stouffville, $190,000; Wes- ton, $267,000; Wood'bridge, $145,000. It will be seen that Richmond Hill is assessed $2,000 lower than last year.
