The issue was the Central Mortgage Bank bill. Several amend- ments were put theough and rejected on further readings, Finally the Gov- ernment insisted on a division and the bill was .passed with a majority of ,85. Although some Liberal members the Barukittg and Commerce Commit- tee .objected 'to several clauses while the !bill WAS in Committee they voted with the Government in the House. This +being only one more demonstra- tion of the see -saw methods of the Governmentboth individually and collectively— whichhave been so much in evidence during the present Administration, particularly during the last session. The Public Accounts Committee was still sitting and Iliad failed to bring in any report when it automa- tically ceased to exist by virtue of the 'prorogation of the Howe. The Com- mittee aissolved itself without any formal 'totter of adjournment being moved or carried, The inquiry into the alleged inefficiency of the Defence Department in this connection has al- ready cost the people of Canada near- Mrs. McConnell. ly $30,009.

Had the session continued for an- other u -eek the friction in the liberal ranks might have advauced beyond control. The situation was getting nut of hand and the ministry 1 ust have been very glad to see the wind-up of activities. The Liberal member for Temiscattata and the Minister of Fin- ance had a set-to in the House, each resorting to unparliamentary langu- age. Another set-to occurred in the Banking and Commerce Committee when Mr. G. G. MeCreer. Liberal member for Vancouver-Burrard and Mr. R. J. Deachman, Liberal member fir Huron North, had words, Mr. Gardiner. Minister of Agricul- ture, who promised to "take the Gov- ernment out of the wheat 'business," has not only failed to make good his promise hut has also succeeded in put- ting the Government into the butter business. Fatuities on relief are re- quired to buy a pound of .butter be- fore they can get the benefit of a free pound from the Government. Under this arrangement families a four per- sons must eat two .pounds of butter each week. The arrangements made are that each family will be given two vouchers for the purchase of two pounds of butter, this •distribution to take place every two weeks. The ,Government is also considering going into the fish business and the coal in- dustry. The question of the hour now is the , date f the election.
