May Make an Et Health Move one who has for over 25 yoars been deeply interested in health protec- fon work in the Township, Dr. Moore offered, if work could he started "this fall, to administer absolutely free of charge, to any child attending schoc!, the immun- izing serum against diphtheria, Lat- er on the same measure for scarlet fever prevention could be carried out, This offer, Dr, Moore pointed out, was prompted with the idea that as Medical Health Officer he might be of the greatest pbssible service to the citizens of he town- ship in the matter of disease pre- vention and health protection. He felt that the Board of Health was behind him, and he strongly urged those present, particularly the wo- men, to go forth as missionaries throughout the township spreading the good news that both diphtheria and scarlet fever could be prevent- ed through successfully tested Im- muniZihg methods. Contrary lo the opinons and fears of some, the im- munizing caused absolutely no harm to any part of the body, but on the other hand, was a great say- er of human life. An interesting story of how through the systematic immuniza- tion ofechildren, particularly those attending the public schools, again- st diphtheria and scarlet fever, the number of cases nf these diseases had been reduced to a 'most credit- able minimum in tha city of Osh. awa, was told to the meeting by Public Health Nurse Miss Harris, the first speaker, Through & co- ordipation of the Board ef Educa tion and city nursing services, ef- fective educational Work had been carried on by the nurses in the various districts of the city and in the schools. Seventy-six per cent of 3,600 public school. children, through immunization at periods specifically prescribed, had Deen protected against diphtheria. and scarlet fever, and with the exception of some slight. indisposition, there had been no ill after effects from the serums, So effective' had this preventive measure been. carried out that today there was not one case of either of the diseases In the city, and this record obtained at a season when the diseakes were as a rule more prevalent. "In 1929 there were nine cases of diphtheria and seven of scarlet fever. Miss Harris very strongly stressed the value of preventive methods as out- lined in her address, pointing out that: 'what had been; accomplished in. Oshawa. could be duplicated elses where, ' Her address was most il. lunminating and was much com- mented upon by speakers who fol- lowed, " "If the people actually. believed, instead of only stating that they be- lieved, that prevention was bétter than cure, diphtheria could be ban- ished from Ontario in one year," declared Dr. Sutton, of the Provin- clal Board of Health, In Oshawa, he stated, there was a wonderful public spirit which recognized the value of preventive methods in com- bating disease, with the result that few cities in the province had so good a public health record, Dr. Sutton stated that work, similar to that done in Oshawa, could be carried on in Whitby Township and elsewhere. The fact that the town- ship had a good health record was no reason why the preventive meth- ods, as-outlined by Miss Harris, should not be brought into immed- iate operation. Diphtheria and scarlet fever, particularly the form- er, were successful and lasting, and they left mo bad after effects in their wake, except in a few instanc- es where the serum was not ad- ministered according to established regulations. Immunization 'should be given to children of both sohanl and pre-school age. Over 30,000 children in. three. years had been «umunized with the serums and no damage had been caused. The sor- ums were supplied free by the Pro- vincial Department of Health. Dn, Sutton gave to his hearers much in- formation of a practical nature, end he strongly advised the T wnship of Whitby to follow in th parade of 'other progressive 't hips where immunization was general. sionaries to the trustees tand rate + | payers in orfler that the health au- thorities of the township might be assured of solid support as they un- dertook the forward move'ad¥oeat- ed for the protection of the child. Dr. Moore recalled the progress made In health work in the town- ship, and gave his personal testi- ventive methods. Reeve W. §.

"It would defeat the very purpose we are striving to achieve," Again, it was conceivable that the preferential rate should be lower in the case of raw products, or where the empire supply did not meet the empire demand, On the other hand, the preference might be increased beyond 10 percent. where that rate, in relation to. the main tariff, was inadequate to afford em- pire goods an appreciable advantage over those of foreign countries, Premier Bennett submitted further that empire ocean transport should be regarded as the rightful carrier of empire goods, "And I see no rea- son why by creating additional pre- ferences on goods so carried between empire ports, that great service should not profitably be used," he added, The .Canadian prime minister fin- ally proposed that conference should re-assemble in Ottawa early next year, as guests of the Canadian. peor ple, and that in the interval an ex- pert committee should study the plan and report. Text of § h The text of "Mr. Bennett's speech was as follows: "Before offering this conference a plan, which, once effective, will, in my. opinion, make for greater pros- perity. in all parts of the empire, I shall briefly state the'fiscal policy of the Canadian administration of which I am the head. "The Conservative party of Can ada believes in and employs the prin- ciple of protection of the home pro- ducer of agricultural and fabricated products, from harmful interference by world competitors. But it is not part of our aim to exclude from our markets foreign goods so long as their importation does not threaten a reduction in the high standard of living which our citizens enjoy. Protect Consumer "On the other hand it is our de- clared policy to provide for the con- sumer a cheap market by stimulat- ing the: growth of competing dom- estic industries to that point of de- vélopment where they will be able, in fair competition with others be- yond our dominion, to offer to the Canadian ° public products of like quality and at prices comparable to those prevailing in. the large markets of other countries. "Tq achieve this result we are ob- liged 'to consider. the 'whole question from the point of view of both the To Be Held on Farm _ of |: ' conser and the producer, and, thr employment of a flexible tariff, to ensure the 'proper protecs tion of the one and safeguard from exploitation the other, "This result we: are on the high- road to accomplishing, Its accom 'Plishinients will meafi vigorous' indus- tries assured of that minimum scale of production,; through home con- sumption, without which their ex- cess products can never find a place world markets, "In pursuance of this policy and to méet an' egonomic situation brought about by world and domeatie causes (it is not necessary here to deternfing their relative responsibility) the pars liament of Canada at a session called for the purpose in September of this year enacted certain changes in the tariff designedi n our view to streng- then the position of the home pro- ducer, Certain measures were made a part of this: emergency legislation to avoid the exploitation of the con- sumer and in the good faith and good sense of the Canadian producers we have the necessary assurance of their rigid. adherence to these measures. First Policy "This icy 'of the Conservative party has come to be known as the policy of 'Canada First. In approach- ing 'the economi¢ problems of our empire I stand four square behind that policy. 'And if this: conference is to meet these problems and pro- vide an effective solution of them it seems fo me that my attitude to- wards my own' country will be the attitude of you all towards yodrs, On no other basis can we hope to effect an' enduring agreement of benefit to cach one of us. I will determine. what my country needs and if you do like- wise then we may come together and search' out the means by which we can be of mutual assistance in satis- fying those needs. "l rejoice," Premier Bennett con. tinued, "that the government of Can. ada finds in the empire scheme I have to propose, the surest promise that its duty to its own country will be fulfilled. For we believe that through the broadening of the home markets of the empire states to em- pire products, in preference to the products of foreign countries, every unit of this empire will benefit. No Bar to World Trade "This does not mean of course, that an attempt should be made to ex- clude from empire markets the goods of other countries, We must have-- all of us must have--markets outside the empire, and to nfake these mar- kets sure and greater, we must place no insuperable barrier in' the road of reciprocal world trade. What'it does mean, however, is that we should di- rect: the present flow of trade in'o more permanent empire channels by preferring empire goods to those of other countries, This can only be done in one way, by creating a pre- ference in favor of empire goods. "We have considered what such a scheme of preference will mean to Canada and to the other parts of the empire, Our gonclusion is that we of the empire states have within our own control the means to advance the interests of each one of ws by developing a plan of economic co-op- eration based on the principle of em- pire. preferences. : : "To establish the soundness of this conclusion T'apply a test which most readily suggests itself to me as a Canadian. shall: tell you. frankly what it is for jt is clear that no use- ful. agreement will ever be reached until we fully disclose to one another the mainspring' of our contemplated action, Market for Wheat "The primary concern of Canada today is profitably to sell its wheat. We believe that we shall be reaching towards. a solution of that problem if we can establish a better market in Great Britain, This market we want and for it we are willing to pay by giving in the Canadian market a preference for British goods, You may each in your own way apply what tefts you choose to determine the value of reciprocal preference to your own country I am confident your conclusions will coincide with ous. "And so |] propose that we of the British empire in our joint and sev- eral interests. do subscribe to the principle -of 'an empire preference, and that we take without delay the steps necessary to put it into effec. tive operation. . : "First, we must abprove or reject the principle. I put the question de- finitely. to you, and definitely it should be answered. - There is here no room for compromise, and there is no possibility of avoiding the issue. This is a time for plain speaking and I speak plainly when I say: that the day is now at hand when the peoples of the empird must decide once and ST SEIN For Oil Burner Installations Péas EEL F URNACE 1.

Be new person tomorrow. for all. whether our welfare lies in closer economic union or whether it does not, Delay is hazardous, Fur- ther discussion of the® principle is surely necessary. The time for ac- tion has come. "Projects other than the one that I propose have been placed before you. hey have been carefully can- vassed by our delegation and while we would avoid anything which might savor of premature condemnation, we are constrained to state that npne of them can be accepted by Canada as alternatives at all likely to achieve the purpose we have in mind." Premier Bennett went on: "Until this prineiple is accepted, it would be profitless to discuss the applica- tion of it in any great detail. I shall however, outline in a broad way our conception of the manner in which it may be employed and shall quality the generality of my proposal by in- dicating the method of its applica- tion, Offers Preferences "I offer to the mother country and to all the other parts of the empire a preference in the Canadian market in exchange for a like preference m theirs, based upon the additions! of a ten percentdm increase in prevail. ing general tariffs, or upon tariffs yet to be created. In the universal acceptance of this offer and in like proposals and acceptances by. all the other parts of the empire we atttain to the ideal of empiference. "I amplify and explain this offer in the following ways: in the first place, the rate I have mentioned cannot be uniformly applied. The basis of the proposal is adequate protection to in. dustries now existent or yet to be established, Because of this we must ensure a certain flexibilty in the pre. ferential tariff, faving regard to the fundamental need for stability in trade conditions and we must take account of such prevailing prefer- ences we are now higher than the general one I suggest, "It follows therefore, that this pro. posed preference should not be con- sidered as a step towards empire free trade, In our opinion empire free trade is neither desirable nor possible, for it would defeat the very purpose we'arc striving to achieve, All that is helpful in em- pire free trade may be secured by empire preferences, all that is harm- ful may in this way be avoided, Use British Ships "Again, it is conceivable that this preferential rate should be lower in the case of raw products or where the empire supply does not mect the empire demand, On the other hand the preference may be increased be- yond ten percentum where that rate m relation to the main tariff is in- adequate to afford empire goods an appreciable advantage over those oi foreign countries, It will also be necessary and proper to determine what empire agencies may be em- ployed to ensure the most effective operation of the principle. This is a question which at the moment I shall not discuss further than to say that foremost among those agencies that of our ocean transport should be looked upon as the rightful cars riers of empire goods, And I see no reason why by creating addition al preferences son goods so carried between empire ports that great ser- vice should not be profitably used, | the consumer, "All these are matters requiring most careful consideration, Some of them might readily be resolved into difficulties so definite as to defy re- moval unless the greatest care is tak- en to anticipate and avoid them. They must therefore, be subjected to searching analysis by the economists of all the countries concerned. Such an analysis will inevitably result in variations iit any standard of prefer- ence now to be adopted, But, what- ever modifications may be found necessary these will not adversely affect--=nay, they cannot but make more beneficial and lasting == the broad principle of 'empire protection based on the common advantage and guided in its application by the need to ensure the welfare of the home producer with proper safeguards to Such a preference makes. possible in the only way full employment: of the resources of the empire to the advantage of all its parts: : "I do not, need to point out to you that to enjoy prosperity a country must be assured of stability in trade conditions, A preference, therefore, which cannot be regarded as endur- ing is worse than no preference at all, And to be enduring it must be predicated upon mutual benefit. A reference on any other basis is man. festly unsound, and epliemeral, "Consistent "with the fullest in- quiry into the application of the principle of an empire preference our deliberations must be governed by the time factor, If this change in our economic relationship is to be 'made it must be made without undue delay. I would, therefore, propose that this conference if it approve the principle should constitute such com- > iittées as may with the greatest ex pedition and thoroughness consider the various questions incident to its operation, pe "As here we have neither the time nor the machinery necessary to reach a final conclusion uvpon all of them it is apparent that w¢ must employ the . technicians of our respective countries to complete the inquiry. For that purpose I would suggest that committees be set up in each o the countries concerned, and that those commence immediately an cx- haustive examination of the effect upon their domestic situation of the moposals I have made. I am sat- isfied that whatever modifications in the general plan Canada may have to suggest will be ready to submission within a period of six months, T as- sume that you are all capable of a like measure of expedition, And so I further propose that when this onomic conference has had an portunity to profitably discuss the plan in 'its various aspects, it do ad- Journ to meet at 'Ottawa carly next year as the guest of the Canadian people sand that in the interval through the instrumentalities 1 have suggested a full and final ®port be prepared for submission toPit, "Any government of which I am the head will be prepared to support the proposal, 1 have made and with whatever variations in the general plan may scem advisable, to wake it effective by the proper legislation. "We Canadians will coutinue our consideration of this great question with steadfast earnestness and" wil take all means within our power t avoid any conclusions but those most likely to lead to helpful and sustain ec op- in /this constituent parts of the esi pire are like-minded with ourselyes And that to this propgsal and to thd anxious deliberations incident to. ite thorough canvass, they will ~ bgin the best will and the most i 4 advice, for to you as to us, it must be plain that we dare not fail, Opportunity is Present I have said that the time is now at hand when the doctrine of 54 er empire economic association mus( be embraced if we would not have it slip forever, beyond our powers ol recall, Once gone it were vain td suppose that lesser existing empir agreements will Jong outlive it.
