The biggest thing of the Session,
the trade agreement with the United
States, was finally" approved, save
for what should be merely a formal
stage, and the Senate will, tackle it
next week. Apparently, howevjrf
there is one item of the agreement,
relating to the .exportation of liquor
“from Canada to the United 'States;
of which the American Government
does , not wholly approve and to
which it may in the last analysis/
take exception. 'Canada has been ex-.
porting a large quantity of liquor
to the United States as our product,
having had time to age, is much . sup
erior to the raw article manufactured
there and this gives Canada an ad
vantage as .regards the .balance .of
trade and therefore tends to stabilize
our exchange. ' " .
An important Bill was introduce^!
by Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister
of Labour,. calling for the creation
of a National Employment Commis
sion. This body will have power and
control over all phases of the unem
ployment situation and will formu
late some method whereby privati
. industries wilLJbe compelled to ab
sorb great numbers of the unem
ployed and will also be compelled tr
engage apprentices as during the
past few years there has .been a great
scarcity of men “ with technical .quail
fications and we have had to''bring
them in from other countries. In
fact , the Bill will embrace a long,
irange plan of national, development.
The Harbour, Board Bill was ; als<
introduced, .implementing the gener-
aL idea-of—Sir Alexander Gibb’s re-
_ port. I will have -more—to—say—of week:
this later and will only say now thai
this Bill is expected to save a grgal
deal , of the country’s money.
Tfie Minister of National Revenue
. informed us. on Thursday in the
House that 22 small customs hoUser
have been closed already and a large
number more Swill be closed in the
near future. I was indeed surpriSec’
to learn that Canada had 436 cus
toms, houses while the United States
has only 248 and Great Britain only
86, Most of these small customs hou
ses have 'only an average of tWo en
tries a day,\ costing the Department
of National Revenue a salary of ap
proximately,. $1700 per annum tc
make these two entries. This is alsc
an economy measure and has a bas
is of good common .sense.
At the last meeting of the Agri
culture Committee, it was decided tc
employ counsel and ah auditor tc
assist the, Committee in their inves
tigation into (the rise in price of Ag
ricultural implements. The members
of the Committee refuse to pay an
. exhorbitant counsel fee and it wa:-
finally decided that a reasonable,
fee was sufficient? afid that no assis
tant counsel need be employed, there
being a sufficient number of lawyers
on the Committee to render what
ever assistance was necessary to the
Chief Counsel. In the past there ha~
been a tendency to disregard expen
ses in committees as large as this
and as high as $150.00 per day har
been .paid to counsel so I think thir
change is very commendable. . Just
as good results can be obtained alsc
when every member is pot at liberty
to call every witness he can think of.
The Boulanger Bill to amend, fhe
Civil Service Act in respect of the
outside service came before the
House last Tuesday. I might say
that Private Bills "are only allowed
an hour on Tuesday and on Frjday
nights. Apparently a great many
abuses have crept into the "adminis
tration of this Act as far. as the out
side service is concerned, particu
larly in the last five years, and many
appointments have been made in con
travention to the law. I spoke on thi:
Bill because of appointments like thir
that have been made in Bruce con
stitujenCjy in. the past and because
there is nd uniformity in the Act it
self. For instance, Vange light house
keepers on an annual salary of
$150.00 come under the Act While
postmasters in an., office where the
revenue is less than $3000 annually,
are outside its scope, although the
salary in thg latter -case may be a*
high as $17$0 per annum. Then too
these small appolntmOti under th<
commission entail’a great deal of
needless expense as a representative
of the Commission must preside at
“Very .examination held, no matter
