THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAPORTS, Friday, May 27, 1921,
THE DO.MiNI IN PARLIAMENT.
,.t ;'l i o cl.,;k on Friday morn -
leg the budget ,passed the House of
Cun,mr es, the Fielding amendment.
beiiij defeated by 103 to 83, or a
''Crerar pdvia+ed the,Goller anent to go,

suuseltate th6 '4eeiprooity agreement
of 1911. That wouldintake far hat-
ter trade rotations ib4tween the two
countries and. would bring about bee
ter conditions in Canada. Mr. Crena.
deelalted that he was not in any, way
worried by the Government's at-
tempt to break up the ranks of tbe
Farmer movement. Turning ' do
York -Sunbury contest he stated that
the Government speakers there were
raising racial and religious cries in
an attempt to mislead the voters ta-
to returning the Government weir -
dates.
Joseph Archambault produced not
a little interest in a crowded House
whin he mail dram the details of the
Greek and Roumanian credits to show
that the Government had issued con-
tracts for thousands of dollars worth
of material -to companies whose di -
teethes were represented in the
House and Senate.' The money spent
from these millions of duliars loan-
ed to foreign countries tied been
hooded over to companies in Canada
which were controlled by mea sitting
in the Comm ons and Senate. This
might be within the letter of the
law, hut according to Mr. Arch-
andeault's arguments there was a
Government uea,lu�'ity of twenty. very grave suspicion that •the spirit
The liudget has beer, assailed from of the law was being violated and
that the honor of .Parliament would
be damaged thereby.
With the Budget debate out of the
wily, the work of the House is get-
ting down to the final stages. There
are of course the budget resolution;
to be put through, but these will
probably not take more than two or
three days. Government supporters
talkofprorogation ro at n next week,

e but
is more than likely to be after
.lune 1st, before everything is wound
up. There are yet quite a number
of items on the various headings in
the estimates to be Passed and while
these could be crowded through in a
very short time during the last day
ur so of the session, the House will
probably make an attempt to dear
with them as soon as the Budget
esolntions are out of the way.
Committee work is beginning to
lessen. The Committee charged
with going over the details of the
Spinney patronage Bill has finished
is work and is about ready to bring
- the Bill back to the Commons. With -
r in a measure at least the Govern-
' mens supporters who forced the is-
sue in caucus a couple of weeks ago
- will get their wish and will have
- some sayin regard certain sea to <e tan a -
p
r
nnintan•nt•within
c s the Civil Service.
ct
The matter of drawing up a list of
appointments which are to be free of
- the jurisdiction of the Civil Service
Commission will probably be left to
y that body itself after consultation
' with the • Deputy Minister. This
looks very much like 'a compromise
decision. The Government it is
known was not particularly anxious
to have this Bill go through, par-
t'' ticularly in view of the high sound-
ing declarations of Sir Robert Bor-
den and others when patronage was
abolished. The Bill was introduced
as a son to certain of the members
who apparently objected to being un-
able to placeeeheir friends in the
Service. When the Bill got into
Committee the push behind it to put
it through was so insistent that the.
Government could ' not withstand.
- The measure wild meet with very
strong opposition from the Liberals
and Farmers and it may be a mat-
) ter of days before the Governnient
is able to use its majority in putting
it across.
There will be a report` from the
Pension's Committee this session,
though it is not expected that this
will recommend any serious changes
in the present legislation. Qf the
other Committees. little is expected.
The members of the Fuel Committee
are fighting amongst themselves as
to whether or not they have power
to make a thorough investigation of
producing costs. Their work has
been held up for some days and it
seems more than doubtful whether
there will be any thing more than a
very general report which will prob-
ably be in favor of the appointment
of some sort of Commission to en-
courage the development of the fuel
industry within the Dominion.
The Committee on National Rail-
ways and Shipping is in the position
of having gathered an immense'.
.,mount of evidence which it will take
many weeks to digest and the com- I
niittee has not these weeks ahead of
it, if it is to stake a decent report
to Parliament this session. It is ,
rather difficult to see what the Com-
mittee has accomplished in the mat-
ter of deciding just what informa-
tion
should be given to Parliament_;
regarding the operation of the Roads
and Steampahip lines. Shipping men
from the Atlantic coast have advised
the Government to charter its ves-
seds to anyone who will operate them
and to leave the shipping trade to..
private enterprizes. D. B. Hanna
end his associates on the other hand
have sought to assure the Committee
that the Raflwayd and Steamship
lines had a great future before them.
There is mass of. evidence on the
record and it is expected that if the t
Committee is able to make any re-
port this session it will be only an
interim report and that there will he
a .request for reappointment of the
Committee next year.
all secttuns of the Opposition as one
which had at heart the interests only
of the big interest :end which gave no
thought whatever to the rights of the
.worlcing eltssrs of Canada. Hon.
Mackenzie King in his contribution
,through the debate lute Thursday de-
clared that the Budget proposals
were further evidence, if such were
needed, of the fact that the Govern-
ment was ruledthe few w',.
mt bywealthy
Y
men in Canada.
For years the country has been
promised a general tariff revision.
The speech from the Throne at the
opening of this session had said that
the revision was about to be made as
a result of the tour of the Tariff
Commission throughout t Dominion
g he
last fall. When the Budget .was
brought down, however, the house
and the country were disappointed to
find that this ,promise was on a par
with the majority made by the Gov-
ernment during the past few years.
The time was not ripe for tariff re
• vision, Sir Henry Drayton had stat
-ed, and consequently • the poore
classes must continue to bear the bur
i` -den of taxation while the tariff was
only amended to provide further pro
is for thefavoredf w t
fi e of the menu
' facttrrers who were the silent powe
controlling the Government's
'thoughts and actions.
The whole trend of the Govern
ment's course before, during and
since the war had quite apparent!
been die5ated by their friends, the
manufacturers. The great mass of
people throughout the Dominion had
looked forward to this budget as one
- which would serve to equalize the
burden of taxation, and again the
were disappointed.
Mr. King dealt at some length
' with the platform laid down. at the
caucus on July 1st, 1920, when the
National Liberal and Conservative
Party was formed with Hon. Arthur
• Meighen as leader. The new Party
had adopted practically in toto the
platform of its predecessors, the
Unionist Party, but care had been
taken to squeeze aut from the form
er platform the .declaration in favor
of development of trade with the
Mother Country and between the`Na-
tions of the Empire, The platform
,dictated by the interests supporting
the Government took no notice of
development of inter -Imperial trade;
their one great worry had been to
protect their awn profits and in this
the -Government in this year's budget
had carried u
out their wishes.
The strength of the interests be-
hind the present Government had
been revealed by James Murdock
when he had resigned from the
• Board of Commerce. He had done
so because he found that the Board
and all its efforts were so hampered
es to make them useless. The Gov-
ernment had disregarded the changes
made iri the Murdock letter, and as
. a camouflage had reconstituted the
Board with- a membership of Civil
Servants. The net result of this ac-
tion had been that the new Board
passed an order protecting the pro-
fits of the s'.tgar manufacturers and
keeping the price of sugar in Canada
at twenty-one cents per pound when
-t should have heen twelve or thir-
' teen cents, the same as in the United
States. Public opinion had been so
aroused by this action that the Gov-
ernment was forced to choose be-
tween its friends and the people.
The Board had then been ahnlished
and Canada was left without any
machinery with which to cheek pro-
fiteering. There had been previous-
ly a Combines Art, which gave the
. necessary protection, but the Board
of Commerce Act had over-ridden
this.
The only form of protection known
to the Government was that which
had been outlined by the Prime Min-
ister. That was protection of the
profits of the wealthy manufacturers.
Mr. Ring challenged any member
of the House to show that his an-
nouncements on the Tariff through -
"out the Dominion had differed ac-
cording to the district he was in as
had been charged by Government
speakers. He quoted frofn his New -
.market speech and fron others sub-
sequently delivered to show that his
pronouncements in all (darts of the
country had been practically word
for word.
The Prime Minister, Mr. King de-
dlared, had treated the House to a
ufitrong pnlitical speech. hum he had
-
.iu'verlooked entirely both the Budget
Proposals and the Fielding amend-
ment.

ing last the Methodist church was
filled 'to 'hear. Rev. Mr. J. F. Knight,
of Milventon, and recently of Hensall,
give 'his recital of "Jean Val Jean,"
and the•reverend gentleman delighted
his large audience from start to
finish. The recital • took over .two
hours to render,' during which time
he kept the closest 'attention of the
audience, who followed him with
great delight and pleasure through-
out the rendering, which called forth
the hearers to the highest pitch of
sorrow and sympathy at times and
also of mirth and amusement at
other times. We only wish that
space would allow us to give aslittle
synopsis of this most interesting and
soul stirring recital, but it is so -'long
and varied and so intensely bound to-
gether in a close chain of stirring
events and episodes that it is out of
the question to attempt in short space
to give anything like an interesting
and connected analysis or description.
Suffice it to say, that Rev. Mr. Knight
more than upheld his reputation as
a most clever and entertaining speak-
er and put his very soul in the re-
cital and made it one long to be
remembered. A't the outset of his
lecture Mr. Knight emphasized the
great pleasure that it gave to him
to meet so many of his friends and
referred to the strenuous times
through which he passed in the great
contest an the temtlerance work
which was at its very .height during
his pastorate, 'and he felt delighted to
feel that his hearers and friends as
well as those that had been opposed
to him had united in giving 'him such
a welcome as they bad on the pres-
ent occasion, and that they were will-
ing to overlook many .of the little
differences of opinion that were
wont to divide people. Be felt cheer-
ed to meet so many that be had known
so well and favorably for years and
that when in the near future he and
bis family moved to their new charge
in Calgary, they would welcome any
letters or lines of remembrance from
them and bat would serve to inspire
in the new and large field of labor.
Rev. Mr. Rivers.,very pleasantly per-
formed the duties of chairman, and
pleasing sidas 'were given by Mrs. F.
Wickwire and Master Samuel Rent
ie, while Miss P,ybus very pleasant -
y officiating at the organ, At the
lose of the lecture a vote of thanks
vas moved by Mr. F. Wickwire and
econded by Mr. J. W. Ortwein and
ost heartily carried by the targe
udience, after • which Rev. Mr.
Knight very, feeling replied and the
w s
eeting
a brought to a close by
the,,,ttational anthem and the benedic-
on.• • The recital 'Was •under the
napless of the Fdpworth League and
the proceeds Were good.' Mr. Ed.
