Six Years ago heentered e parlia- ment of Ca ada,oneof the hmost able and promisingmembers of the par- liament of 1921.- In the course of • debate one night on immigration, when some of his Progressive col- leagues were bemoaning the trials and hardships of immigrants in the west, Hoey silenced them, and deeply moved the House with a bit of his own car- eer. Ile did not say that it was his own life that he was describing, but many knew that it was his autobio- graphy that he was giving to the members. "We sometimes hear, so one passage ran, of men living on one meal, a day. This particular immigrant lived for four days on one meal, I remember on one occasion he Iived for five days on one meat, and in the last six weeks of the year in which he graduated he lived for ten centsa day. "He was denied the privilege of • writing hone to his parents because he did not have the money for postage. He graduated, and is to -day a mem- ber of the Dominion parliament.
