Mr. David Hincks spent the week coming later to Proton when it was SWINTON PARK For a long time, I have been feelâ€" ing that the Act operates unfairly many times. I know of so many caâ€" ses where old, retired people have had their source of income almost dried up, to such a degree that they are left in a worse position than the person who is on their farm. I pre sented this point of view. Admittedâ€" ly, the situation is different from that of Western Canada, where mortgages are held mostly by loan companies. I also pointed out that the farmer‘s credit has been very adversely affectâ€" ed by the Act. People with money that skilled young farmers find it alâ€"| most impossible to get started farmâ€" ing. In many cases, they go to the | city, where, if they obtain work, it is | on a crowded labour market, which | results in the least efficient going on‘ relief, until some enthusiast with a nece:sary instrument in certain proâ€" vinces. The government however, is definitely of the opinion that the conâ€" tinuance in operation of this legisâ€" lation, after the need for it has vanâ€" ished, tends to lower the credit of the agricultural industry. The case for Saskatchewan, where the drought has caused some unpreâ€" cedented hardship, was well presentâ€" e d by T. C. Douglas (C. C. F.) The need for the Act in Saskatchewan is greater now than at any time. The debt of Saskatchewan farmers has been reduced by 14% millions on principal of mortgages and $966,000 on interest, leaving the total now 27 millions, but the value of the propâ€" erty against which this debt is writâ€" ten is 25 million dollars. "In other words, in spite of the reduction, which is the best we have had, the dobt still stands at 108 % of the total value of the property." fully worked out loaning the Federal Government‘s not having begun loaning policies, Mr. Dunning rose to defend the Farm Loan Board. He had telephoned and found that in 1937 the Board had made 515 loans to an amount of $1,033,000. "It is Brodie, Hopeville. Messrs. Edwin Fowler and Ed. Heard sang a duet. and one sister, Mrs. Jas. Scott, Hopeville also a number of nephews and nieces who with the rest of the community are going to miss "Uncle Robbie" as he was lovingly referred to by all the younger generation. For years he has been a quaint figâ€" ure gliding around on his bicycle Although purchasing a car he did not fancy driving it. He had a mild inoffensive characâ€" ter and was always very kind. In speaking briefly, the Finance Minâ€" ister said he hoped the amendment would relieve the government of a great volume of requests from some provinces for the repeal of the whole statute, because the government has mortuary vault. not many, but it is 515," the Finance Minister said.
