BRITISH FLAG Mr. George Spotton (North Huron) Mr. Speaker, as this is my first op- portunity let rue congratulate you on } our appointment to the position of Speaker of this house, for which you ars, eminently .fitted by training, tat- cnt' and temperament.I do feel that if I remain silent at this moment I might be misunder- stood by the people of my' county. I have heard no-one in the county of Huron suggest that he was too good for the union jack or that the union jack was not good enough for hien, While I remained silent year after year when this ,question was under discussion, believing there was no' danger of any action being taken, be- cause of the temper of the' chamber to -day I feel •that I' must place my- self on record on this occasion, It is only too true that we might be better engaged in,.doing something that would relieve the suffering of our people, instead of being engaged in this discussion, but since this matter is under consideration I feel that it is of sufficient importance to warrant my taking up some of the time of the house. I notice that hon. gentlemen op- posite are very impatient and, indeed, are determined that. they shall direct. along for a genera ton or That the Soviet are ready for war, poverty basis, until we can accumulate if the emergency arrives, is shown more wealth to replace what the war by the fact that they have 940,000 destroyed, there wouldn't be so pian>, men in the Red Army.

SUUGEST SIMPLER SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION (Milverton Sun) , - - Ontario is much in need of a simp- ler system of school administration: Scotland with a population of 4,000,- 000 has an admirable school system:, administered by forty boards, while Ontario has a population of over 3,000,00 and has more than 6,000' boards, There are .in the province 255,244 public school pupils, 7,118 tea- chers and 16,965 trustees. In the city of Toronto are 1.05,616 pupils and on- ly 20 trustees. Were school boards divided up into counties instead of sections as at present there would be. 44 of them. The •,matter. is for the rural trustees to work out and no body of men are more capable for discussing the situation and of provid- ing a remedy than they.

During the last regime practically all the trade routes of this country were closed. We lost the market to the south of us; we lost markets all over the world. Nation after nation erect- ed trade barriers, quotas and the like, and then in times of dire stress. we .as. a nation, did like the individual of whom I have spoken -we turned our eyes to the motherland and the union jack. When the outside world turns its back upon us we can only look to the motherland, and, sir, they came over, with the union jack. I suppose, Mr. Speaker, I shall have to do like the radio announcers do, call out the station now and then in my remarks, but my subject for the moment is that trade does follow the flag. Con- sequently trade follows the union jack. As a result of the bringing to- gether of the family of nations of the British commonwealth, first in the old land and then here, wehad the em- pire trade agreements, and the union jack was the flag that was flying ov- er them. To prove that trade follows the flag and particularly the union jack, the course of this house. They for- get, of course, that there was an el- ection in 1930; they think they are still in the saddle. They are trying to tell this house what it shall take up and when, and during the recent by-elections in the province of On- tario they were trying to tell this government when the next election * * 'i' should be held. I well remember in 'the session of 1930 that when the then Prime Minister gave notice that he was going to dissolve the house and appeal to the country I•said to one of his ministers, "Do you not think you are making a mistake in going to the country now, when con- ditions are not good?" He said, "Oh, no— Mr. Sanderson: On a point of ord-. er, Mr, Speaker— Mr. Spotton: -"we are just on the slide down, and conditions will- be much worse next year. Therefore we are going to the °country now.." Mr. Sanderson: I rise to a point of order. Mr. Speaker: Order. Mr. Spotton; Then when it comes Mr. Sanderson: My point of order is that the hon. member for North The packing industry have done no Huron (Mr. Spotton) is entirely out better than the farmers, according to of order in discussing, on the resolu- evidence given by the packers beforetion 'now before the house, when an election will or will not take place. He is not speaking to the resolution at all, Mr. Spotton: I am explaining the Premier Hepburn refused to attend the state dinner that Lieut -Gov. Bruce was to give, and due to this fact .it was cancelled. He said it was because he had previously stated that he was not in favor of the •expenditure in connection with the Lieut -Governor's official residence. It does not seem. like a convincing argument to us. * * * * The trial of Bruno Hauptman goes on and on, and the conflicting evi- dence that is being .given makes one wonder. • * * Premier Hepburn, it is said, may reduce the number of seats in the leg- islature to a lesser number than at present.

It all happened in 30 days! In November the girl was pale, run-down and iaeked vitality. !weight subnormal; only 91% Itis. Her blood, when tested, was found to be low in red eorpuscles and lower still in haemoglobin, the red substance in the red corpuscles. She was given a 30 -day treatment. And what a ]sappy change took place! She gained nine pounds and her complexion glowed with rosy'. health. Her face rounded out and she became positively pretty. The treatment -as shown by a second blood test—had greatly in- creased the red corpuscles and haemoglobin in her blood, conse- quently she felt and looked radiantly well. The preparation that a ' worked these wonders was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. IThis famous old remedy restores health in a most constructive a way. We knowthat the blood carries nourishment and vitality to I every part of the body. But unless the blood has a sufficient number. I of red corpuscles and red colouring substance called haemoglobin,.. i it cannot carry on its vital wont. It is here that Dr. Williams' Pink I Pills produce constructive benefits. This remedy increases, in most eases, both the red corpuscles and the haemoglobin. Blood tests r prove itl Good looks and good health are too precions to neglect or experi-. ment with.

Mr. Sanderson: I want your ruling, Mr. Speaker. Mr, ~Speaker: I do not think the hon. member has been out of order. as yet. Mr. Spotton: .l .was going to say, Mr, Speaker, that 1 presume this gov- ernment will settle the matter of an election when they get ready. it is their job. Mr. Sanderson: On another point of order, Mr,. Speaker, I submit the hon. member for Noi•th Huron is en- tirely out of order in discussing when an election may take place, on a reso- lution such as this. Mr. Speaker: I am still of the op- inion I expressed • a moment' ago, that the lion. gentleman is in order, Mr. Spotton: Consequently, after we havesat here for the last four years and allowed His Majesty's loyal Opposition to fill the press of the country, to poison the wells of in- formation, to scatter about this land misrepresentations of my leader, dur- ing this session I .propose on every occasion to tell the people of this do- minion what this administration has done. Hon, gentlemen opposite went to the Country because conditions were going to be worse. Mr. Mackenzie Ting: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker— Mr. Spottont Now they wish tis to go to the country because they fear conditions are going to be better lat- er on. Mr. Mackenzie King.: Tlic resolu- tion -- Mr. Speaker; The lion, iinembd'r will please speak to the resolution before the 'house, Mr. Mackenzie King; Tirat is the point. Mr, Spotton: Miming finished that, Mr. Speaker, I wish to say that I am proud to be a citizen of Canada, if that will meet with the approval of the leader of the opposition (Mr. Mackenzie King).

I did not propose to take this strainuntil my speech was attempted to be directed for the first time in m3 life by friend or foe, and so I think I am perfectly within my rights.

Now if there is no further suggestion as to the dir- ection of my speech I shall finishthat partit, of but if not, I shall leave it aside for the moment. We might be better engaged at the moment if there was no danger of unholy hands being laid on the union jack. I think, sir, that Tennyson inthe long ago, looking beyond the hills, foresaw the recent drawing together of the commonwealth of nations. You know there has been Liberal speakers in the recent by-elections who twitted some of us because we never men- tioned the name of Bennett Well, if that did happen it certainly did not happen with pre.

The mover . of this resolution said how en- thusiastic it would make the school children of this dominion for Canada to have a flag of her own. I am afraid Mr. Speaker, that the mover and the seconder of this motion have not been intouch with school houses or school children for a long time because love of the flag and loyalty to the flag is interwoven in all our school liter- ature. Tennyson long ago said: Sharers of our glorious past Brothers must we part at last?

When interrupted I was proceeding. to say that our children love and have been taught to love the songs in our school -houses and the union jack that floats over every public school in my country. That love will not be sup- planted by any new-fangl'ed flag. The pioneers who came to my county never thought they would raise a gen- eration which for one moment would. even suggest or hint that the union jack which they brought with them was not good, enough.
