ill dealing with the Tariff, Mr. Sharp said the Conservatives be- lieved in a stable tariff not u high tariff. The tariff advocated by the Conservatives is a tariff as high on farm products coming into Can- ada as we pity on iarm products going into the United States. The Conservatives intend to place the sumo duty on eggs tiolulug into Canada from the United Stu-tes as Canadians ‘have to pay upon eggs going into tho Pulled States,

Besides these Camada owes the outside world 86.200.000.000 or $012 per caplta or 2% times as much as Germany. or. taking all these debts, Canada owes-HQ times as mu‘ch as GeFmimY.

General ‘Dawes and other financial elaperts express doubts as to Whether such a vast sum as $261 per capita can be transferred out of o. country. II.’ it requires a Dawes to show Germany how to pay $26.1, it will surely require a super Daw- es to show tCanada how to pay $012. .

Catnada has increased her debt to the U. S. alone $200.- 000.000 every year for 10 years or 82.000.000.000 since 1.914. This ownership could not have been transferred to the U.

This ‘we did, and in doling it closed our own factories. throw ollr own work-people out of employment, destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars of ‘buy- ing power that would have bought our iarm products. and lpiaced a further mortgage on our country that requires an- nual payments of $120,000,000 and ibrings our total interest charges on outside debts alone up to $812,000,000 annually.

T-his whole trouble has been ibrought on ‘by our foolish ipolicy oif having a 20% tariff against a neighbour that has a 00% tariff against us.
