There are conflicting accounts about our intentions. What seems much more likely is that a rather ambitious aircraft and train- ing scheme of semi-militaristic na- ture will be started: Canada could justify much larger expenditures on aviation than she is making at pre- sent without being accused of getting militaristic. Some military authori- ties say that training for peace and training for warâ€"in the air â€" are quite different things, but the gov- ernment will probably take the view that if Canada had a corps of keen young civil aviators and a body of fast modern machines, they would not come amiss if any enemy did threaten Canadian shores. So far as the naval program is concerned, there will be a considerable body of opinion which will prefer to assist the British navy by cash contribu- tion rather than the extension of Canada’s present rather comic-opera navy. We can look for some spectacular debates in the House on this sub- ject. (Healthier Farm Finances) The improvement of farm prices on the one hand and the gradual reduction of fanm debt burdens on the other is having a healthy effect except in those areas where the crop was destroyed .by drought or other factors. The buying power of the Canadian farm as a whole will be considerable larger this year than for a long time. There is, of course, a desperate amount of catching up to do in essential repairs and equip- ment before the average farmer will have any spare cash. Many cases are still being settled. But up to that date a total of 14,588 :settlements had been reached, where- lby farmers made a new deal with itheir creditors and started again. Of these 6,057 were the result of volâ€" luntary agreement between the farm- ‘er and his creditors: the remainder ‘could not be settled in this way, and lhad to be sent on to the provincial [boards of review, which then made an arbitrary settlement, whereby the total debt was to be reduced so much, the secured creditors cutting their share and the unsecured cred- litors theirs, in the sums- decided‘ upon. with the reductions in interest which the Board of Review approw ed. on the views of federal members in the farming areas as expreSSed in parliament next session and private- Iy to the government. There is some talk .at Ottawa of the act being repealed at the end of the present crop year (July 3151:, 1937), if farm prices and conditions such as to warrant it then. Possibly it will, but; a good deal will depend (Millions Cut From Debt) The Farmers Creditors Act had, up to Sept. 1st, dealt with farm debit totally $91,320,880; Before they had finished they slashed $27,396,264. from this principal sum, and in addiâ€" tion cut the annual interest pay- ments on the remainder by $2,188,- 200 per year, through reductions in rates. Although the Act has proved use- ful for thousands of farmers across the country who were struggling a- long under an intolerable load of debt, there are requests now arising that it be repealed. Farmers are finding that it cuts both ways, and that so long as it remains on the statute books it is difficult to bor- row new money from the banks or other lending- companies. I Though the Farmers’ Creditors Ar- .rangement Act was passed as an [emergency measure with the farmers lof the west especially in mind, it has llbeen used almost as much [by the farmers of Ontario and Quebec. There are about 750,000 farm operators in all Canada, so it is interesting- to lnote that since the act was passed l(up to September lst this year) a Ltotal of 120,018 farmers had ap- firoached the official receivers ap- gpointed under the act, to see if reâ€" ilief could be secured. i Ottawa Spotlight ’ Ottawa, October 27.â€"Reduction of farmers debts is still a live matter in various parts of the country. In ‘the three prairie provinces special drought revisions are going on, and the operations of the Farmers’ Cre- ditors Arrangement Act are dealing with individual cases. No accurate totals are available, but it is appar- ent that reductions in the debtâ€"bur- den of farmers in the west will ex- ceed $150,000,000 through the work of the debt adjustment act in Al- berta and Similar legislation in Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, including, of course, the voluntary reductions which some creditors made before any legislation was passed. 1 By Wilfrid Eggleston TEE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO After long- delays for various rea- sons the Metnopolitan Electric Rail- way Company is extending its line from its present terminus at York Mills. The first sod was turned be- fore sunrise last Monday morning by Mr. Moyes, the energetic manâ€" ager of the road, who always said he would push it through to Rich- mondv Hill. A gang of nearly 100‘ men have been working all the week and every day teams and men are being engaged to push the Work along. The company hope to have the line completed by the 20th of November, the time stipulated in their last agreement with the coun- ty council. Some of our enthusiast- ic citizens are already talking about a bonfire. The store and dwelling house in Maple rented by Mr. H. Bailey is being- thoroughly renovated and painted previous to his csomrmnencing business there, and when fin'ished Mr. Moyes, manager of the Met- ropolitan Street Railway, and Mr. Wray, superintendent of construc- tion, were in the Village yesterday, the object being to make arrange- ments for engaging teams and- men to assist in the construction of the road- along Yonge Street.
