THURSTON. - - Editor F. J. THURSTON - Asiwc. Editor TMK MOTHERLAND FIRST There has been a disposition on tho part of -Mime people, who art- none too friendly to tho Motherland and her institutions, to belittle the piv-- cnt vtamlmg of Gn>aJ Britain anior.R the nation*. They have represented her as a .decadent country, over- whelmed with unemployed men and women, and as it were, on her last legs. Viitinir Britishers, however. it this characterization. They declare that though Britain has suf- fered, in tradr and commerce, ns all civilized nations have done, becauso o r the feai ful expenditure r,f life and treasure in the Great War, she is holding: her i'.'. n with the best of Shi ha; ft-wer unemployed than either Germany or the United States, and nwinv "f thn<e bring ii^s: '(d by what is kn-iwn as "the dole" are really only temporarily out of work or are partially unemployed. It has to he borne in ir.ind. a!:-o. thai it is through no lack of enterprise on the part of employers of labor that work has licen scarce i n Britain. Tho chief cause of the shurtaire of orders I in the inability ot Britain's f..- Tf-isn customers to pay for her pro- ductions. They were impoverished hv the trre:it bl'io'i-lettini.' competition r.f liiU-lS. and have pit yet r.-fovered from the effect of that awful rarnaire 't<-> the (petition of which sonir f. < II h folks prr-Iess to liirhtly look f' rv::ird.

Parliament Not Dull During Pasl Week Parliament cannot be accused of having been ilull this past week. The long Speech on the Aeldress came a' an end. The Prime Minister nmdc u remarkable' contribution on thj last day of the debate. While the speeches emphasized difficult times nil over Canada, the plight of the West was mure particualarly stressed and in his re-ply the Prime Minister devoted him- self largely to answering Western nicnilwis. He charged them wilh over-stating the conditions: "Members (if Parliament are sometimes accepted as being more important individual? than tlu-y are, and their opinion has attached to it an importance that is nut warranted." He d< nieel thfit (here was general piivation in tfhe West. "The Bank reports show th-t tens of thousanels of farmers in \V" t- (iii Canada have money in the bank." One of course needs to remember that in bank reports borrowings from th<! hank appear as deposits. Mr. Bennett took the statistics of the years l:i2t. '2'.! and'3() and from the j m showed over two billion dollars of new wealth had been produced in the western provin -os from the f"rms anel mine-s. This new wealth could ii-it all have disappeared, he said. : "They are- nut bankrupt anei insolvent ;is has been claimed." He- went on I jire.'ve- this by i.huwing the annunt, of money spent on automobiles. Th" cost ( f ga.-e>line- and reirist ratinn fei-n in the three prnrie p : ovir.:-"; last yr>"" -.- as shown to be $!i.r,2fi,0()0. In th" figures ejiven no distinction was nveic hetween the town- and cities and the- rural population nor Were th;' threat distances in western C'anaela alluded to. He claimed to have- incT-sed the sale of wheat in Great Bi itain in the last year by u million bushels over Ihc year before and the sale i" France by five million bushels. "Whal is the -,-ause of Ihe (rival <!( I'Tession in we>sern Canada?" the Kt Hon. gentleman asked the Ho"<:p. and then proceeded to answer his own que-stion. "Hon. gentlemen opposite know that the most important cause is speculation. No speculations in wheat options or in oil or mining slo.-k but speculalion in the large- sense in which what term is used. Hon. gentlemen opposite know that tho most impri-tant cause is speculation." Immigration wa.- given as another pause of the I'nemployment, but Hon. ircinlx rs interrupted to point out that l-oth parties were responsible feir the foolish immigration policy ot th la: ten years. It seems difficult t i explain wha: 'iipi-are'd t<i !.,. a eliivct attack on tho \Vc.-l and the spcfrh of th Prime Min- ' i- :-oinpai-:il.le' Ic tli' "Fi'-'e i e;;' ; ch" of ih.' Kt. Hon.

Mr. Speakmu:: was followed by Mr. Robert Gardiner, the House leader of the Farm group who said Iv did not know where the Prime Minister obtaineel his informat- ion, "unless it be fiotn the rwretary ,f the Canadian Bankers Association. If h? believes that such information is absolutely correct then I ;'<p under- stand the position he is adopting this afternoon." In answer to Mr. Ben- nett's question "Whciv bad this g'-eat volume of new wealth gone?" Mr. Garelinei :iid a great dial of it had gone in high interest rates. When \cu ask farmers to pay 8, !, and 10 per ( L nt for a long term and when the p/ofits of the farmer are not laige at any tim.-, you can understand that ven a pi of liable year does not mean very much if the farmer happens to have any debts. The legal rate set out in the Bank Act is 7 per cent, but the rate charged is as I have said. May I call the attention of the Prime Minister to the fnct that the Bankers of Canada are the greatest law break- ers we have? The Farm leader .lainied ihat t'rv palatial baildintrs subie;-t.s. the man ceases tn bo a British subject, the wife need no^ assumy his new nationality. And in the wcstein cities had come from the land. The farmer? of wr-.tf.'i-r Candnda coi-ld not have speculated t<; any great extent fur lack of "iff- i.'nt money lr> nut un a margin. I toeik the trouble to prove I'rom the Prip'o Minister's own words in the House of Commons on Februiry llth 1H2!>, that he sfongly supported increased expenditure on immigration.
