Criticises Penitentiary Administration
(Sy 1. A. Hume, Special Correspon-

Ottawa, April 10.-Ecboes of the
Henry-Melghen Ontario Power Ser-
vice Corporation activities and a row
over penitentiary administration,
with General A. E. Roar, Conserve
Uwe member for Kingston, assuming
the leading role In criticising the Gov-
ernment, featured the week just
closed.
Lobby opinion here is that it is only
a matter of time until Premier

mink that Hoa G. Deward Margusoo,
former leader, sa now Canadian
High Commissioner at London, wlU
return to Canadian poUtical life in

missioner, bolder personally of $8,000

director of a number of firms holding
mach larger amounts of the same
bonds, in the Senate Thursday even-
ing, recalled, for many that only a
abort time ago he was the accuser In
connection wltb another hydro power
oompany. Mr. Melghen declared his
willingness to be Judged by the best
and severest standards of British
public service, and he likely will be.
General Bess' Charges
General Rosa charged the Goyim -
meet through the Department of Jus-
tice
mFtice with unfairly treating guards and
other prison officials at Portsmouth
Penitentiary at Kingston after the
riots there. He said be would resign
his seat If his charges of unfair
treatment were not substantiated. He
was scathing In his criticise] of Gen-
eral D. M. Ormond, lately appointed
superintendent of penitentiaries.
Hon. Hugh Guthrie, H.C., Minister
of Justice. characterised General
Beane .charges as silly; hre defended
' the former aedag wards., Gilbert
Smith, had failed to take sufficient
heed of a tap given him four months
before the riot that a planned out -
_A *k, wItlt outside,. !'" -
that brokers --were given clerks' jobs
at the so-called preferred claw peni-
tentiary at Collins Bay, near King-
ston, and that finally E. R. Jackson,
acting wardeb there, was retleved of
bis post.
Despite all the talk, It is not ex-
pected that the Government will cou-
sent to a public Investigation of the
penitentiaries. The House finally
passed the Government bill removing
penitentiary appointments from the
jnriedictlon of the Civil Service Com-
mission and placing them under the
Governor -in -council, wbich, of course,
le the Government.
Communists Active, Says Guthrie
Under another bill which gives the
Government power to add to the
numbers of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Poliee In time of trouble,
Mr. Guthrie warned the House that
In the opinion of the Government
Communistic activity In Canada is
more dangerous today than for some
years. "Without being an alarmist,
I muet Inform the house that in the
opinion of the Commissioner of the
Mounted Pollee (General J. E. Mac -
Brien) the situation existing at the
moment in various parts of ,Cagada
with regard to Communistic activity
is not at all satisfactory. These ac-
tivities have not been lessened In re-
cent months and I regret to say that
we have information that. the Com-
munistic party is perhaps more active
and more dangerous today than et
ally time In recent years." The House
gave Its approval to the Government
bill to add to the R.C.:M.P. force, now
at 2,84t1 men. 1f found neceeasry.

With ahndder of despair and toes

The Lord of Glory hung.
When rocks were rent and ghostly

To tell what joy Should be:

Nor help nor hoiw' rnulel see.
Yet all the while the glad near sun
Made ready Ito swift dart,
And Calvary and Fleeter Day -
The darkest day and hrighteet day--
