This can be put right , and if this Governirien does not put it right. another Government will take its place which will do so"` ' This pointed challenge to the King

administration came near the conclu- sion of a forceful speech by I-lon. Hugh Guthrie, acting Leader of the opposition. in criticism of the main points in the sixth Robb Budget and lust before moving an amendment to the motion for the House to so into committee oi Ways and Means.

Mr._Guthrle, in moving his amend-

ment, said: "For the reasons I have given, because this Government has been absolutely nsglectiul of the in- terests ol at least '15 per cent. of the people of this country, neglectlul of the interests of the agriculturist and o! those engaged in industrial employment, because the Government has failed in every way to safeguard and protect them, I boa to move the following amendment, seconded hy Sh' Geo e Perleyl “That all the

en out and the following substitute therefore “This House resrtl-B 0000 the financia1_propoaals of _the Gov- ernment have no provision for reas- onably safeguarding and protecting the interests of those engaged in sg- ricultural pursuits or in industrial employment ln Canada."

In giving his warning to the pre-

sent Government that if they failed 'to properly meet the situation pre- sented by thc new tariff threats con- tained in President I-Ioover's inaugur- al address, they would be promptly removed from office. the acting Lead- ler of the 0i1P°lition aroused deep enthusiasm in the members behind him, and at the conclusion of his

fepeech he was accorded an ovation .iwhich continued for some time, and ‘which has in volume and sincerity

the announcement. _ ‘

Trade With United States

“Now let us return to the trade

figures with the United States. It is a matter of surprise that more than one-half of our foreign trade is done with the United States. Last year our trade figures with the United States gave us e. total in exports and imports of 8,318,282,000. We import- ed $825,741,000 and we exported $492,- 541,000. In other words, our imports were $333,000,000 more _than our ex- ports; our trade with the United States resulted in an unfavorable bal- ance of that amount. Now, if a fav- orable balance of trade is a good thing for a nation-and the Ministers an- nouncement was heartily applauded on the other side of the I-Ious¢.~wnat do they say of our trade with the United States when there is such an enormous unfavorable balance? Will honorable gentlemen opposite con- demn that unfavorable balance of

“They applauded the favorable bill-

ancg of trade with the world. Will they condemn our unfavorable bal- ance ot trade with the United States?

"I submit, Mr. Speaker, that there

is something seriously 'wrong in re- gard to the trade of this country with the United States. I believe I know what is wrong. I believe we are buying too much from the Unlt- ed States year in and year out. Every year our purchases are increasing.

"When the Minister of Finance lshculd be deducted from the 892.000,-

That is what we are bringing in, while we are send- ing out, if you exclude hides. only about $63,000,000."

Obviating The Dlmcalty

"Would it noi. be a simple matter

under these circumstances to obviate any dimculty that might arise in con- nection with the tariiI of the United Sates on iarin products. if we pro-` duced ln this country and sold to our own people these goods which we now sell to the United States. atop- ping the importation into Canada of those products which we are now bringing from other countries to compete with the products of our own farmers. To accomplish I that,

zmiei un we need is e Government with ict us have over-anxiety la :ecard to

ment of our present trade with the United States might, for the time be- ing, cause considerable inconvenience. and some loss. I reallrs quite well

Free-Trading Ministers

"I can imagine that it will not be

the easiest thins for my right hon- orable friend the Prime Minister (Mr. Mackenzie King). surrounded as he is by such out-and-out free traders ae the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Motherwell). the Minister of Rail- ways (Mr. Dunning). the Minister et the Interior (ur. stewart). who would ring the death knoll oi pre-

and the Minister of Immigration (Mr. Eorke.) I can understand that my right honorable friend would have dlmculty. But I` fancy that .these four ministers will be found amen- able toreesoa. I believethat in a _few months' time we shell nnd that they have become converts to the doctrines which have been advocated from this side of the House for a ions time. and I can tell you that the completeness and the suddenneca of their conversion will place in the background that great conversion that took, place on the road to Da- mascus. But what about that peculi- ar type of free traders. Liberal iree traders, whom we mid scattered about in all the provinces of Can- ada? what are we going to dc about these loud-voiced. individuals who give us no peace. these worship- pers at the shrine oi’ Adam Smith. these men who still dwell in the political atmosphere of two centuries ago? "I think I can make a 'prediction

in that ieaard. I believe the word of command will go to them. ‘Right about face! and they will obey that demand with alacrlty. Oh, the scales will fall from the eyes of these hard~ shelled. thick-skinned free trader! scattered thgeughout this Dominion oi Canada.
