plaints should be made known to the inspector. 

 After all the discussion and work in the 

 national council of fruit growers last March, 

 and all the agitation during all these years for 

 one barrel for Canada, it appears that no action 

 is to be taken on the resolution that was passed 

 by that representative body, asking that the 

 96 qt. bbl. be made the standard and only 

 barrel for the whole Dominion. No other 

 question, as the minister knows, exhausted to 

 such an extent the time and ingenuity of the 

 conference, and no more unanimous finding 

 ultimately was made than upon this question. 

 It is too bad, then, for any selfish interest to 

 frustrate the enactment of law upon this mat- 

 ter, but if Hansard is to be believed, some- 

 thing of the sort has already intervened. 



On Dec. 14 last, .Alex. Martin, M.P. for 

 P.K.I., rose in his place in parliament and put 

 this pertinent query to the minister: "Is it the 

 intention of the Government to bring in legis- 

 lation to carry out the resolution, passed at 

 the Dominion horticultural council last March 

 with regard to the legal barrel? If so, when 

 and how? If not, why not?" To this, the 

 minister promptly replied: "It is not the pres- 

 ent intention of the Government to give effect 

 by legislation to the resolution as the Govern- 

 ment has found that those engaged in the 

 fruit industry have diverse opinions on this 

 subject." --,,- — 



In the name of common sense, why gather 

 representative fruit men together from ocean 

 to ocean and ask them to reach a conclusion 

 on the matter, and to reconcile their diverse 

 opinions, and then refuse to take the conclu- 

 sion that they reached with such unanimity? 

 When will diverse views be more closely knit 

 in any one decision than they were at the con- 

 ference on this question of a uniform barrel? 

 When will the country be better served by una- 

 nimity in its measure than at present^
