the Press and consensus of opin- ion appears to be, that it is bv far the best arrangement this Prov- ince has had with the Federal Government since Confederation. ‘Although this is the best r- lrangemeni. to date. lt will lik _v .prove inadequate to do all that is ‘necessary to be done in our Prov- lnce. “Lack

of revenue has nhlvavs

us here, and for to do anything ,worthwhlle. funds must. be avail- able, And in order that. addi-

tional funds be available for pub- lic services. the people must first lbs given the opportunity of pro- lduclng taxable wealth. Therefore. ‘I feel that one of this Govern- ment's most important duties ls. to press for higher prices for our exportable surplus. Because, it ls the revenue from this exportable surplus. that so greatly effects the profit and loss stahment of each individual. and thereby. the lProvince as a whole. i" "Unfortunately in this Province ore have no minerals of anv des- mrlption. no gas or oll wells. no pulp or paper mills. no hydro- electric. no great. industrial con- .cerns. not even the head offices ‘of banks and trust‘. companies. or other financial institutions, to swell our Provincial revenue. And although we are almost purely lsgricultural. we do not. grow suf- Jlcient wheat to provide our peo iple with their main article cf Jood. And hundreds of tons of feed for our livestock. together with flour. is shipped all the way from Western Canada. I know -this is essential at the present ltims. and wss most essential dur- |ing the war period. . "However, it looks like poor bus- ‘lncss for farmers themselves. and certainly most uneconomical for the nation as a whole, to be send- lng three thousand miles for feed. that farmers should be producing themselves. Of_course the whole idifficulty is. farmers have been too poor in the past. to use their <hard earned g llars to build up .t.heir land. in o der that tliey may produce more abundantly.

Again. the solution must be e higher net. return. to the produc-

ers of our cxportable surpluses. Which are potatoes. fish. Irish moss. beef. pork. livestock and their by-products. butter. cheese. eggs. etc.. etc, Our most. import- ant. item of export ls of course potatoes, which almost equals everything else combined. There- fore, it ls most important that we have stability. with a sub- starltial price for this product.

Ynta tn Support Price

“For the first. time in the hist- ory of our Country. the Federal Government provided a support price for potatoes. which together with purchases by the British Government. has relieved an awk- ward situation. 'I'hls effort to suoport the price and to sell the British. ‘should be greatly appreci- ated by all concerned. and evcrv- body in this Province should be greatly concerned. Let us hope lt is just the beginning of a per- manent. British market. and s per- manent support price.

"However. the price of potatoes is not sufficient compared with

other items on the market. es- pecially items our Island pro- ducers must buv. It has been

well sold bv an authority on pota- toes. that the support price mere. ly provides for cost of production.

and does not allow for a profit. Without profits every business would go into liquidation. Then.

how long can the people of this Province go on selling their chief cash crop. their largest item of export: without a prof ‘.1 The greatest difficulty is of course. we have too many potatoes. both in the United States and ln Canada. "Therefore. we will never have stability until acreage is control- led. Every year or so producers have suffered severe losses. be- cause nobody knew how many acres to plant. in order to come somewhere near the probable de- mand, Losses by the United States Government during one year. persuaded their Department of Agriculture. to ask Congress to control acreage. and this has al- rssdy been bone for the coming year. And if Canada would do likewise, the two countries could co-operste and set the price where it should be, without digging down into their respective treasurles "The legislation proposed by the Potato Growers Association. and passed by this legislature. making this Island s disease free area, is of utmost importance. This Island can be made the best seed- plot. in the world. and when that is accomplished. s substantial price should not be difficult to obtain, ss quality must be kept

high. especially for export. This is an ideal year for making the change, as farmers can secure seed for about the price of table- stock, and should eventually mean thousands of dollars for the poc- kets of our producers.

“It. is interesting to learn through a report by Mr. C. F. Bailey of the‘ Dominion Experi- mental Farm. Fredericton. that disease free potatoes are now be- ing produced. and will be avail- able to farmers in two or three years, If successful he states. it will save producers about $1.000.- 000 annually, based on cost of spraying and loss to crops through blight. -

Annual Exodus

"The annual exodus of spun! people from our PIDVIDCF, is proving most detrimental to us here. To my mind the large ma- jority are loathe to leave our shores. but can sec no future in our beloved Island. due princip- nlly to lack of industry and a limited field for professional men and women, After obtaining their education at the expense nf their families. and thereby, the Prov- ince. they move to other Prov- inces. and often to another na- tion altogether. usually fully equipped to be of real service to the land of their adoption. In

{Provinces such as Ontario and ‘Quebec they find ready employ- ment, and better remuneration. "This is especially true ln the professional field. as great num- bers of young people in these Provinces, find industry more ln- teresting and much more profit- able. Due very llkely to an abundance of raw material. and a ready market at their door. I know that the Prenlier and oth- ers llflYt‘. ulvcn scfrs thought t1 the problem of maintaining a larger nopulat on, \1lt'\"i the CTII- fines of our shores. To my mind we have the finest place in the world ln which to live. but that alone is not. sufficient. Oppor- tunlties must be created. with sufficient remuneration to nro"'-‘~

could’ remain with u:.. ally. I believe our best. bst. lies in new industries. which will cre- ate new wealth. and new oppor- tunities.

“According to the Minister of 'I‘rade onrPCommerce. Mr. Mac- Kinnon. Island industries total 241. employing 986 men and 466 women. The annual wage bill for those employees total $1.354.- 028. And the annual manufactur- lng production is placed at $10.- 713.644.

"We have ample room for more industries here. and these totals should be multiplied by ten

in as many years. As we should at. least provide all our fresh. canned and cured meat and fish.

All our fresh and canned vege- tables, most of our fresh and canned fruit, all our fresh and

canned milk, all our honey and cheese. Irish moss too should not leave our shores in its raw state. but should be processed here. However. we will need Islanders with initiative, and the necessary finances. to capitalize on our richly flavoured fruits and vege- tables. etc.. ec.

Island Industry

Ls a good example of svhat can be done with industry in our Prov- Thls concern canned about 10.000 pounds of raw poultry per day. 8.000 pounds of mackerel per day. and 100.003 pounds of beef per week during 1946. and ap- proximately 95". of this pack was shipped outside our Province. This is a commendable achievement. However. there is one dark shadow over this otherwise bright. picture. As the cattle used for this pro- cessing. were purchased here by swift Canadian. shipped to lvloncton to be slaughtered. ship- ped back to Summcrsirle for can- ning. then shipped to the outside
