Do You Suffer

From Rheumatism’!

roi- Relief You Must Reach the Mo!

of the Trouble in the Blood-

Sufferers from rheumatism who have found their condition unreliev- ed or actually growinfl W0?" “hue using other remedies, would do well to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. The tonic treatment with this medium? has proved in thousands of cases that it builds up the blood to a point that enables it to cast out the rheu- matic poisons through the refill" channels, the bowels, kidney! ""3 the skin. When tlhis is done rheu- matism is banished and as ions l5 the blood is kept pure and rich there

will be no return oi the trouble.

That Dr. Williams Pink Pills do what is claimed for them is proved by the case oi Mrs. Ettio A. Mums. Sarnla, Ont, who saysr-“l W“ B ’ helpless invalid for a year with 111- I had medical ireatment and took mineral baths, but with no result.

' By Mr. B.

Mr. R. H. JENKINS (Queens): Mr.

5000i". the important duty of any

Bovernmcnt is the administration of

the affairs of the colmtry in the most

economical and efficient manner pos-

sible, The spending of large sums

of money does not necessarily mean

on?“ ‘ 1t u ‘ it-

self down to what you really get in

return‘ for the money expanded. It

may be possible to curtail a great

many items in the estimates, but 1t

mlahtnotbewueiodoso. The

Mlnisier of Finance (m. Robb) re-

ceives oonslderable free advice, and

there 1s a great variety in opinion as

to the items which might be reduced

or altogether eliminated Some of our friends would eliminate a large

proportion of the estimates of the

Minister of National Defence (Mr.

Balaton), but there are others in the

house who consider the expenditure is not large enough. Differences of oplhloh exist o‘; to the vote for im-

migration, and the same applies to nearly every department of the civil government. We believe that the estimates which have been tabled have been very carefully prepared considering the vast country to be served and the needs to be attended to. If in a desire to pay off the debt of the country we neglect public

services and allow them to become impaired, we are practising false economy and it would mean disaster in the end. The government is notl only attending to the business of the country, but it is also making sub- stantial reductions in the public debt. Some of our newspapers find fault with this policy; they object to the government applying such large sums to debt reduction and state that it might give aiittlo more consideration to the needs of the moment and of the immediate future and let poster- ity havo a chance to carry some oi the burden assumed by this genera- tion in the name oi posterity. ‘The Financial Post oi Toronto states that any government does a fine thing in steadily reducing the burden of the national debt. It further points out that if circumstances arose which made large borrowingssssentipl at any time in the future the task would be made easier by the debt reduc- tions of today.

A large amount of the pmnt ex- penditure is due to the Great War; that goes without saying. .No‘gov- eminent can be blamed for this he"? drain upon our revenues. Roughly speaking, about $100,000,000 is spent each year in paying interest and other charges on this liability. It would therefore appear that it will be necessary to move very cautious- ly If"! Cflfefflliy in the way oi reduc- ing taxation. If we keep on eating away at our heavy debt it will only be a quution of time before we can appreciably lighten the burden of taxation. Despite the war the growth of our country has been so phenom- enal that we may confidently look forward with faith in the future,

Not only have the revenues of our country been buoyant but business in nearly all lines of commercial‘ activ- ity is marching forward. Carefully mounted companies which have u- sued reports for 1928 show a healthy DWii-ifiih. I emphasire the word "carefully" because we have heard in Speeches in this house of the hard times certain companies are dacing. I contend that no matter what gov- fimmflnt ml)’ be in power there will always be corporations and individ- uals who will find it hard to get along. It is generally their own fault, through inefficiency or lack oi service. The Bell Telephone Com- pany shows a substantial increase in the anfount invested in plant, an in_ crease of over 81,000,000 in surplus account: and it has also made, lagrer appropriations for deprecations. In 19" ii employed 14,000 people, and in 1928 that number had risen to 16,240.

Anyone engaged in business today knows that the larger firms are com- ing along at a. very rapid pace and making it very difficult for the small man in business. Mr. L. W. Simms, president of the Canadian Manufac- turers‘ Association. states

The year 1928 has seen Canada producing more kinds oi goods of a greater volume and a. higher quality for the co. umpti-n of her own people and those of other lands than ever before in her history or the hi- story of any people of like popula- tion. The year 1928 has seen a deeper appreciation of and regard for the productive efforts oi each section and group in Canada by every other section and group than ever before. l- ‘rhebourlst revenue of Canada has gone up 0f late years by leaps and bounds, and the year 1928 was the best of all. In that year tourist automobiles to the number of 3.645.- 455, as compared with. 3,153,800 in the preceding year, entered Canada from the United States. This num- ber was over fifteen times as great as that of ten years ago. In ad- vance of the official computation of the value of tourist traffic to Canada in 1920, the figures would seem to indicate an increase of probably $35,- 000,000 for reported tourist travel alone over the $181,418,000 reported in the Dominion Bureau of Statist- ics estimate for 1927, bringing the total estimated expenditure-in 1928 by tourists entering Canada via ocean ports and from the United States by automobile, rail and steam- er. to the sum of $242,754,000. In our province we have a live publicity and tourist association doing a fine piece of work. ‘ A large quantity of literature is distributed each year and the men who are connected with the association serve without remun- eration, the only expense in this re- gard being s. small amount paid to an energetic lady secretary.

The widely prevalent belief that our. country is entirely dependent upon the bringing in oi capital from outside sources in order to finance her development is rather rudely shattered by the information dis- closed that Canada is sending out of the country more money than she is bringing in and has been doing so for the post four years. We have always had considerable investments abroad in the form of banking bal- ance in London and New York, rail- way lines in the United States, and investments in foreign securities by banks and insurance companies as well as private‘ individuals who re- quire diversified lists of securities. A rising Canadian prosperity with a greater volume of funds seeking in- vestment outlet has resulted in a sit- uation where the capital leaving the country exceeds by a. substantial margin that comlrlg in.

Based on figures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics cover- lng the situation as at January 1. 1927fcereful estimates made upon information from most‘ reliable suurccs ‘by the same authority give thE total of Canadian investments abroad on January 1, 1928, at $1,514,- 500.000 and on January 1, 11929, at 81.872.000.000. Thus the aggregate of Canadian investments -in other countries represents more than so per cent of what other countries have

invested in Canada. or this total at the opening of the present year Canada had $939,000,000 fnv d in the United. Btates,'$ll2,500, in the United Kingdom, and $020,500,000 in other countries. - Investments by Canadian insurance companies in di- versified foreign,‘ securities continue to increase rapidly with the develop- meat of both thtir domestic and for- sign business. '-Direct Carladlan in- vestmenta in i f r plants in the United States commercial field and elsewhere are wing steadily. Can- wdlan holdings of New York stocks and of Europeaii and south Ameri- can govemmentibonds have increased enormously. Atogether the record testifies most eldquentlyto Canadian prosperity and world progress. -

May I say at this point that I think the Minister of Finance (Mr. Robb) is to be complimented 0n rais- ing the tax a. little on those penny mining stocks, because I verily believe many people in‘ Canada to-day are losing a great deal of money by in- vesting in stocks which are absolute lyworthless. I do not say that all mining stocks are worthless. but many of the mines listed i on our boards at the present time are prac- tically holes irrtlio ground and will never amount ioanythlng. I am only too pleased to see the minister impose an increased rate of taxa- tion on this kind‘of stock gambling, and, in fact, I would, if anything. rather see it higher.

Only a few yellrs ago, Mr. Speaker. every taxpayer in? the country feared that disaster ‘_ would overtake the Canadian National Railways. It was with a serlse‘ of foreboding and increasing feartlist heavier burdens were in store forjus in the future that the report, of the operations of thesystem was received. Admitted- ly the operation of this road had placed’ an enormous burden on the- people of Canada and some of the enemies of nationalownership pre- dicted disaster. In 1920 the loss in operation was over $00,000,000. We are apt to forget these things; we sometimes forget the days that are gone by. Todayithe surplus on op- eration ls over',$58.000,000, an im- provement of approximately $88,000,- 000. This has been brought about largely’ through the management of Sir Henry Thornton and his associ- ates. The present Minister of Rail- ways (Mr. Dunning) is also respon- sible in no small measure for the continued building up of the system. A much better feeling has been creat- ed in the minds of the public gen- erally towards_~the road and the fine cooperation of the employees has added" much to‘ the improvement of conditions. Railway progress and especially car loadings constitute one of the best indexes we have of na- tlonai prosperity,’ and the great Can- adlan National Railways is doing much for the advertising of Canada and the lhci-etslhg stability of the country. 1 ' '

Applications by the Canadian Na- tional and Canadian Pacific for branch line extensions totalling ap- proximately l,800' miles of new road form a most encouraging feature of‘ this year's railwfay program. The extensions will represent an addition oi nearly 5 per-lent to the total rall- way mileage of anada. ‘This new building program! serves to show the importance oLthe new era of rall- way building in Canada and is one of the most favorable factors in our economic situation . Not only does it mean extraiwork for construction companies Ind. companies fumishirlg raw materlalsfias well as labourers. but it will doip-luch in the develop- merit of the country at largo and give added work to those who will be empl on the new lines. By the building ind operating of such new lines weihope that population as well as production will materially increase. '5 .

I wish to say a few words about the fishing in ustry, in which we in our part of marltimcs are par- ticularly into ted. Conditions in the fishing ustry in Canada were generally be r in 1028 than they hadbesnin oilasrcgardsboth fishing- and arketing. and there in fishery production of apps-calms l! 8.503.000. with the final revision of the year's fig- waastill totbe‘ completed. the mn- eries branch puts the total production for 1080 at. 064000.000 as compared with 00,497,080 in 1027. There was an increased production on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. As a matter of fact. not only were condi- tions generally better in the industry inilfllthanthoybadbeeninlm, but that year raw the industry more successful and prosperous than in

duction orthe Fordney tam: in the United States. In 1928 exceptional- ly favorable conditions for fishing enabled fishermen to make unusual- ly large catches and greatly increase production. In that year the value of the fishery production of Canada reached $56,360,633, so that produc- tion for 1928 was only some $2,300,000 less than for the exceptional year 1028. As compared with 1923 there was increase in the production in 1928 of approximately $11,400,000.

The sea fisheries of the Atlantic coast-that is, the maritime provin- ces and Quebec-are estimated to have had a production last year val- ued at $20,750,000. The Pacific Coast production reached approximately $26,250,000 and the value 0f the pro- ductlon of inland waters was about $7,000,000. In the case of Prince Edward Island there were increases in several of the catcehs, as. for in- stance, lobsters (an increase of 1,674 hundredweight to 64.474 hundred- weight); oysters (an increase of 685 barrels to 4,756 barrels.) scallops, which increased from 96 barrels in 1927 to 320 barrels, and clams and quahaugs, which totalled 2,552 bar-_ rels as compared with 1,174 barrels in 1927. On the other hand, there were decreases in such ‘catches as cod, herring and smelt.
