OTTAWA,.
March
8.
Speaking
in
the
budget
debate,
Hugn
Guthrie,
acting
Conservative
leader,
suggested
to
pan.ament
how
Canada
can
meet
the
increased
United
States
tariffs
against
Canadian
farm
products.
In
the
first
instance,
he
suggested,
stop
importation
of
farm
products
into
Canada
;
secondly,
to
supply
from
Canadian
farms
those
agricultural
products
which
are
now
imported
into
the
Dominion.
Mr.
Guthrie,
in
making
the
suggestion
to
the
government,
stated
that
the
Dominion
is
now
importing
agricultural
products
from
the
world
to
the
annual
value
of
approximately
$60,000,000.
To
the
United
States,
Mr.
Guthrie
said,
Canada
sells
annually
farm
products
valued
slightly
over
this
sum.
If
the
UniteciStates
closes
its
door
on,
Canadian
agricultural
products,
Canada
could
close
hers
on
similar
products
from
the
rest
of
the
world.
The
Dominion
is
in
a
position
to
supply
her
needs.
"To
accomplish
that,"
Mr.
Guthrie
said,
"all
we
need
is
a
government
with
some
courage.
All
we
needk
aepv-Ternment
with-some
resolution
