Leader Analyses Douglas and Aberhart Proposals Gives Credit to Major Douglas for Proposed Scheme But Does Not Agree With Him; Says Plan As Effects Alberta Is Very Weak U. F. A. WILL CO-OPERATE WITH ANY WORKABLE PLAN FOR BETTER CONDITIONS Progressive Members at Ottawa Gave Much Thought .. And Study to Proposal When Major Douglas Was in Capital City Last Spring IConflnuIng from last woek's the address of Robt. Gardiner, U. P. A., leader ls aa follows: Gives Example In an article which I saw recently It showed how all these transactions took place. First of all you have the 200.00 paid to th-.- farmer for his wool. That will go under the heading of Major Douglas's A group. When the spinner pays the farmer 1200.00 for the wool, the 200.00 which the spinner pays for the wool, will go under the heading of B. Therefore that wonld be a group B. payment of 1200.00, but wben the spinner spins the commodity Into* yarn and sells It to tbe weaver for (400.00 he has 200.00 secured from tbo weaver which goes under tbe heading of group a. May I Interject here that If the consumers were to spend all the A plus all the B payments they would spend .3000.00, a sum three 'times as large as the (final retail price . But we must be fair to Major Douglas for after all he has given great deal of study to this matter which merits appreciation, and we should be fair. I think thut Major Douglas meant that tbe purchasing need issue, therefore as soon as he Is paid the 1 at the cud of tbe week, he spends It on things they require. Tho same' at the end of the second, third fourth and fifth weok, the aplnner has, to spend tbe 1 which he has earned for sustenance for himself and family. At the end of the sixth week he has completed the Job. He produces 6 worth of linen for which'be has received 6 In wages. At the end of the sixth week the producer only has left 1 to purchase 6 of linen. Therfore, because of that fact thore must be a deficiency of purchasing power to purchase lt. It*- looks a reasonable claim. But whatsis the situation? The situation Is this. That industry must bave a surplus for the people to live on while the goods sxo being produced. Or In other words, 'i presumo that many of you here tonight are farmers. Last year you grew a patch of potatoes, If you live In u district where you could grow potatoes. If you had potatoes last fall you are now living on these potatoes until the potatoes you planted this spring are ready for consumption. -If you had nono last fall. I don't see how in the meantime you could live unlll you produced the crop you planted In the aplrng. Tou must of goods to -carry power ot the cover the cost of retailer's 130.00 B j (**ave payment to the wholesalers plus 5200. tj,B nM production period. Whon a added by tha retailer to cover his -,Ufl*.ctent surplus of goods has been Mneieod costs. We can take this example j created to satisfy the people's re-1 which I have -given you and see. FlrBt q-jlrements during a new cycle there was 20.00 A payment -paid , productli to the farmer for the wool. Then the spinner got 20.00 A payment and then the weaver got 200.00 A payment; then there waa 200.00 A payment to the merchant who bought tbe cloth; and .there waa 900.00 A payment tn* the retailer who bought the cloth from the merchant. What have yon. Tou have 1000.00 paid out for purchasing power as A payments, on the one hand and 1000.00 cost of tho cloth to the consuming public, so one cancels the other. Can you discover anything which 1 have said as Incorrect? There was 200. purchasing power delivered to the farmer, which he distributes. There was 20.00 to the spinner who distributes that purchasing power-in salaries, wages, etc. There was 20.00 to the weaver; 200.00 for lhe wholesaler and 200.00 to tbe retail mer- power, namely. 1000.00 and the retail price was 41000.00. The Time Element Wow to* pass og to the second GENERAL ROStTWlIX SPEAK AT HIGH RIVER Member,, of tho Clnreshobn .Legion and all lt;:x--* rvlc6 men are ask-ed to take note of the fact that Hii;h Rlvor haa b-en - elected oa a, centra- point tor the gathering together of cx-.s-erv ce men to meet General Ross, dominion president of tlie Canadian Legion, on Tu Bday Sept. 11. The time and place of meeting will'be announced later tn tliis paper by the local secretary. AH Legion member.- and ex-service men are asked to try and attend this gathering. FATHER OF KEN.

L-.iousness. Refers to Savings His third contention Is wltb reg-yd j to savlUEsT He states that people who save a portion of their purchasing power create a deficiency of purchasing power. That ls to hay. if you were making 100.00 and you were only purchasing the goods you iquired' to live on to the extent of f75.00 you would have saved ....00 purchasing power from your Income, and consequently you would not be using that surplus as prchaslng power, therefore there would be goods on the shelf of the retailer representing 925.00 which yon would not consume, for you would not use your purchasing power to the full extent but on the other hand save portion of It. Tbat looks a vory reasonable proposition. But when you begin to analyze It, let us see what happens ggoTtr. 1 hnvo already told you how the claims that a deficiency of purchasing, machinery or production was paid for. power occurs by reason of the tlm- through the saving of the people b.- clement.

All well- run businesses charge In the cost of their production dacb year, a certain amount for tho depreciation of their machinery and plant and Major Douglas claim*; that because of that fact that It produces a deficiency of pur- chsing power. Now let ns see what Dial means. Wo wilt analyze that for a moment. Most farmers, of course, are not fn a position to bo able 1 to put away a certain amount of money each year for the depreciation of their machinery. In most of the Important . business In this country they are in the happy position of being able to set aside an amount ror depreciation. Major Douglas reasons this way. He says, that supposing-a certain firm started business with all new machinery. They go ahead and manufacture the goods that they are capable of producing. They add on to the cost of the product a certain perccntngo to pay for the depreciation of machinery and plant. If mnrhlnery will lant nay Are years, they must Include In the cost of tbo commodities produced sufficient no that, at the end of five years they will bo In a position to put-* In new machinery in their plant, and now he says because of that lact there results a deficiency of purchasing power, and this deficiency mast bo' made up In some other way. I think If we examine thin claim more closely we will find this. That admitting with Major Douglas that If all the factories start at zero with all new machinery and they added to rho goods produced and amounted to cover depreciation so th..* nt the end nf five years they could renew their machinery If tbey did that I will iiiSmif that there wouIB be a deficiency In purchasing power unless those who are providing for depreciation invented the amount set apart In some way where eventually It will get Into tbe pocket, of the consumer. Claim's Douglas's Case Weak I will admit that Major Douglas has made out a stronger case In regard to depreciation than the other Also where the Indebtedness U out of all proportion to tbo assets, nnd In order to moke a fresh start bankruptcy Is tho only solution, provision Is made for an assignment at small expense. ranged on an equitable basin between the parties concerned. Tbe procedure Is slmplo and easy. An official receiver will bo appointed. Te this man the farmer will go and the official receiver will assist the farmer In preparing his statement and making his proposals to hln creditors. This proposal and statement will go to each creditor, with a notice of the date and place of meeting. At this meeting tho affairs will be frankly discussed., nnd n settlement nrrlved at. Tho filing of a proposal of settlement with the official receiver will act as a may of proceedings nnd no action can ho taken agnlnst tho fnrmor for a period of 60 dnys.. The legislation is the most advanced placed on the statute books of Canada and offers a solution to mnny of the debt problems ot the farmers Tho Act provides all the facilities for the debtor farmer .and his crodltor EDITOR AND HKS.
