THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT
The session is drawing to, a close,
.but not quite as rapidly as some of
the Government members had been
hoping. 1n fact, they had enteriani-
-ed visions of getting "out of the
perches" before the result of the
bye -elections of Yaniaska and York -
Sunbury were known, but the indi-
cations are that the work will drug
along for a few days yet.
There are many things on the or-
der paper yet to be disposed of, and
these include bills based on the re-
ports of the special committees on.
Civil Service and Pensions. The
Spinnay Bill has been given a long
last farewell, and in its stead there
will be amendments to the Civil Ser-
vice Act which will give the
govern-
nentsupporters just about what they
wanted anyway.
Ainendmeets to the Criminal Code,
which are with us every year, have
been put through with many changes
from the manner in which they were
brought into the house. Many of
them draw lines of legislating peo-
ple into Heaven if possible. Not all
of them got through, however, for
there was a protest from both sides
of the Huu:n• against some of the
snore strait-laced ones.
While Parliament has got a num-
ber of enactments through during
the week, there is yet a lot of leg-
islation left on the order paper which
should be dealt with and though the
word had' gone f.r-th that proroga-
tion was to take place on May 25th,
it seems mere like the end of next
week before the estimates and other
business can be filially disposed of.
The spectacle members talking
one way, againsta government
measure, and then turning to support
the bill, was furnished this week
when the Minister of Agriculture in-
troduced a measure to permit the
continuation for an unlimited per-
iod, of manufacture, importation and
sale of eleu-margarine. The Gov-
ernment was satisfied from the try -
nut given to the importation of ele'
'that it was not detrimental to the
i:nteresis of the country at large, and
therefore proposed that the use of it
in Canada should be continued. They
,placed no limit on the time, though
later, when Zion. S. F. Tol•mie saw a
constantly growing opposition spring-
ing from his own benches, he offered
to place a one-year limit on the bill.
Opposition to the measure carne
just as strongly from 'the government
benches as from among the Opposi•
tion members. G..cirnment support
err from dairying constituencies, such
as Dr. J. W. Erwards, (Frontenac);
Donald Sutherland. (S. Oxford):
Frank Glass, (Middlesex); and John
Best, (Dufferin) were so strong in
support of the rights' of their
Dairymen constituencies and that
one who had not previously seen
Such debates might have expected
them to break away from the gov-
ernment benches or. the issue and
start a little anti -oleo party of their
own. However, they nearly all vot-
ed for the measure when it was put
before them and the party whip was
cracked. •
From its own benches the govern-
ment was criticized for bringing down
this measure by Dr. Edwards, John
Best, Donald Sutherland, George
Boyce, '(Carleton). Several members
on the Opposition side opposed the
bill, James Robb (Huntingdon) de-
clared that the manufacturer and im-
portation of oleo had been allowed
as a war -time measure and that con-
ditions now were such that' oleo was
no longer necessary in this country.,
It was, in fact, hurting the dairy
industry without helping anyone to
-a great extent.
• Supporters of the bill on both sides
of the House declared that, the im-
portation of oleo was not hurting the
dairy 'industry and that no one could
say with certainty what the price",
of butter veiled he in sic months.
:certainly at the prevent Lime butter
, was cheap enough they argued in
substance, but that was no predic-
titan that it would remain se. Dr.
Tolrtiie declared that while the pre-
/ dictions had been merle that the sell-
ing of oleo would rain the dairy in-
dustry, devolpment had not out
that claim.
Menehere of the Progressives. led
by Dr. Clark and Hon. T. A. Crean'',
supported the measure on the ground
that if oleo was fit for fond, as op.
isarently the Government considered
it was, there was no justification for
barring it off the Canadian market
The people had a right to buy oleo
if they thought fit, they declared.
J. J. Denis, of Joliette, moved the
six months hoist and thus precipitated
the fence -vaulting exhibitions. Ther.'
were' only 33 votes in favor of the
hoist, which would have meant the
end of the bill, 'and of these only
'-three were from .the Government side
Where the bill, had previously been
'ifiitterly attacked- Even Fraser,
.:(Welland),Donald Sutherland. S.
ifjSr}tord), and A. E. Thompson (East-
1,,
H.ast); were the only Government
fibers who voted against the mea-
n ,,;`be resolution passed by 150

When, there. $were 5O ladies in. the,
levy airkpuethrOtugh the House,
eyes are turned to the outside rather
than to things in the House. The
Premier has just returned from York -
Sunbury, where he ,made a few
speeches on behalf of the Govern-
ment 'candidate. There are hopes
in
the Government camp that their man
will be able to bring home the bacon
there on Saturday, but thus far there
have been no outbursts of wild cheer-
ing. As for Yamaskan, the Govern-
ment is leaving it practically alone
and letting Mandou tight his own bat-
tle. Generally speaking, he is given
little 'chance here, unless the Farmer
candidate succeeds in getting a large
vote, which it is claimed he will take
chiefly from the Liberal.
The Yoa(k-Sunbury fight has been
somewhat spiced up from this end by
the famous Veniot correspondence. A
series of letters were produced deal-
ing with the matter in which it was
made clear that a St. John man,
acting as he hoped, in the best inter-
ests of the government, sought to
induce Hon. P. J. Veniut, Minister
of public Works in New Brunswick,
to consider an offer of a portfolio in
the Borden and Meigheu Govern-
ments. His efforts were nut looked
upon too kindly and he way not given
a great deal of encouragement, it
was apparent from the correspond-
ence tabled by the Premier, but "thy
friend of the government" succeed-
ers in getting it into rather a bad
mess for a little while.
There is a very natural interest in
the developments regarding the
Young Emergency Tariff legislation
passed in the United States and naw
awale ui r
signaturenturc by
President
nt
iiirding. The measure is practically
that which was introduced as the
lordney Bill and which was vetoed
by President Wilson as one of his last
official acts. It places a heavy tariff
against practically all farm produces
imported into the United States, and
,chile it is only operative for six
ninnths, with the home of preserving
I,e Amerieatt market for the Amer-
ican producers. 'With the idea of let-
ups him unluud all his surplus stocks
without eempetition, it will rut very
heavily int. Canada's exports to the
I'rih.•d State,. Last year we sent

There are in places demands for
retaliation, but it is riot expected that
anything along that pine could now

posals are before the House, and re-
taliation, it is felt, would nut get us
anywhere in the long run.
Predictionsare also freely made
that the measure will hurt the Am-
erican producer eventually, but for
the present, 'it seems more likely to
make the Canadian suffer who cannot
get his grain or other produce into
the markets which formerly ,paid most
for it.

it one of the nicest cemeteries to
