London Great Britain and France

Sir iVmgsley Wqod, secretary of state
for air, declared in the House of Com

Allies are far ahead. Britain’s produc

the past year and the quality of indi

in rearming many types, “I would
sooner have 100 Wellingtons or 100
Spitfires or Hurricanes than a much
larger number of their German count

To Place Large Pane Orders _
Washington — Faced with the pos

Uphold Palestine Laws
London — Prime Minister Cham
berlain’s Government defeated the
first motion of censure it has faced in
the House of Commons since the war
with Germany began a little more
than six months ago. By a vote of
292 to 129 the House upheld the Gov

Palestine laws restricting Jewish land
purchases constitute a wartime neces
sity to keep disorder from spreading
through most of - the strategically-
placed Arab r world.
last
$1,220,000,000, Despite this wonder
ful record the Conservatives say the
Liberals are destroying Canada. Ev
ery time the Liberals form the Gov
ernment there is progress and pros
perity, the speaker declared. Under
Conservatives, the speaker said, there
was retrovision, gloom, darkness, fail
ure but under Liberals expansion of
trade. You should not turn this busi
ness over to amateurs at this present
time, Mr. Deachman said, better to
leave it with King and his experienc-
j ed men.
Mr.- Cardiff has said the price of
hogs is not satisfactory to farmers but
the • speaker said in 1932 they were
$4.66 per hundred and $5.54 ini 1933
but the average for 1939 was $8.94.
Last year there were 35,688,600 hogs
in the Dominion but this year 47,696,-
000, so the farmers fegl there is a mar
ket under Liberal government.
AbbuU 300,000 head of cattle were
shipped to the United States last year,’
the speaker said. The cattle go under
treaty on quota basis and this can be
applied to hogs coming into Canada.*
This is done by mutual agreement
when it is necessary.
Mr. Cardiff has said the man who
represented you has no property in
Huron and pays no taxes here. But
the speaker said, Mr. Cardiff’s paying
of taxes does not give him the right
to stand in the House of Commons
and vote against your cattle going to
the United States. Mr. Cardiff would
have voted twice in the last four years
against reciprocity if he had been
there.
The Liberal party has given free
access to raw materials, the speaker
said, The importation of hogs from
the United States is very rare. Th‘e
Government cancelled the draw-back
and adopted a quota to stop this im
portation doing Canadian farmers any
harm. In regard to agricultural im
plement, he asked Mr. Cardiff if he
would make the* tariff the same* as it
was in 1932-33! Mr. Cardiff will not
say he will" oppose reciprocity with
the United States, the speaker said.
.The Conservatives, he charged,
were going to carry on an election
campaign in the House of Commons

King Says Manion Twists Facts

ing plan and retarded development of
Canadian aircraft manufacture. In a

before, be said.
L. E. Cardiff
We are in the midst of a terrible
war and. we are also in the midst of
a needless election, Mrr Cardiff said in
opening his address. We are fighting
a war against appression — a war for
the principles of freedom and democ
racy and there should .be no flinching
in the effort put forth to bring that
war to a successful conclusion. Win
ning the war is one defeinite objective
of you and I, the speaker said.
Mr. Cardiff said he had received
word from Dr. Manion to stop cam
paigning after war broke out. He al
so said that Mr. Deachman did not
do anything for the Goderich Airport
until his hand was forced. He asked
why only 11,000 cattle shipped to the
United States this year so far while
list year there were 35,000.
I believe, he said, our people who
are fair-minded but they will find it
hard to understand why Mr. King
should call Parliament, at a consider
able expense, and a considerable in
convenience to many, and then
promptly dissolve it. The fact is, that
the people of this country have ,been
denied the right to investigate fully
the war record .of the government.
Mr. King, he stated, had never called
into consultation one leader of the Op
position. He must now take the full
responsibility for the conditions as
they exist, the speaker declared.
Can Mr. Deachman or any other
Liberal defend the King government’s
record of the last four years, he ask
ed? The Government granted $188,-
000,000 for defences but when war
broke out we were hopelessly equip
ped, with not sufficient shoes, cloth
ing or equipment for our soldiers.
He said, a few coast guns had
been installed and a gun shed built in
Wingham that was not necessary. The
first year of the war will cost the Can
adian people 500 millions of dollars,
the speaker said, and he expressed the
opinion that no one party or group of
I men should have control of such great
expenditures. He challenged the
Government on the Bren Gun con
tract. He said the Canadian army are
very short of all equipment. He said
there was not a 25-lb. howitzer gun
in Canada.
Mr. King, he said, is asking for a
vote in the,dark, he has shut off all
information, locked away the files and
forced an election at a time ‘when we
should have national Unity and nation
al government. Why did not Mr.
King present his war effort to Parlia
ment, hd asked. Mr, Cardiff claimed
the Canadian dollar had shrung to
80c and he could not see atty pros
perity in these figtires. He stated he
was opposed to the St. Lawrence
Waterway Plan which was part of the
King government plan.
