Ottawa, May 1, G}i, 7.922,—Tlxie has been one of kit ' •big weeks of the session, with decisions on one or two important matters wihioh are before the country. Since the mailing of the last lam, •Perliament decided upon the formation of the co:nthui:age to consider transp ezbatiom oasts said the relation to freight rates and busi- ness generally of the Crows Nest Pass Agreement of 1897. The com- mittee has been named and has al- ready started work, with tie prospect of sante interesting and perhaps somewhat exciting. meetings ahead of it. The debate. on the forming of the committee was full of interest and it broaght from the Prime Min- ister one of the ablest speeches of his parliamentary career. The Gon- servatives demanded that the govern- ment •announce its po i.y en the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement without any further investigation or delay; the Progressives would not admit that the agreement was a matter for debate at all but claimed .that the susaension of it should end forever on July 6th,• and the Liberals argued that this was one of the biggest prob- lems facing the country to -day and as such should be given the most careful study by a committee repre- senting the whole House and all sec- tions of the country With the pro- spect of bath wings of the Opposi- tion being against his government for the first time, Mr. King made a fighting speech. In asking for a committee, he said he was but fol- low'inv out the best Liberals tradi- tions for securing all the information possible before- taking any action. The Conservatives on their amend- ment made a poor showing; they had but :thirtyfive votes, and then on the main motion, with both Conservatives and Progressives voting against it, the government emerged with a majority of seventeen and sus -prised, not only the House, but also the country. * * * The committee, representative of every province and of all shades of opinion, has started work and will endeavor to get to the bottom of the rpro'blem and make a report as soon as possible. Its task a a big one and there are many shades of opin- ion. The Progressives coming from the prairie .provinces demand, without any reservations or equivocation, that the suspension end on July 6th, since the resumption of the agreement will give them the advantage of prefer- ential rates on wheat and flour, lum- bar, certain lines of hardware and metal tioduets and similar commodi- ties which they must ship both east sad vast. There are, however, even among the Progressives themselves, many who admit that tbhth agreement as drawn in 1897 is entirely unsuited for conditions as they prevail to -day. For instance there is a special rate on wheat, say from western Alberta to British Columbia ports for ship - meet through the Panama Canal re to the Orient. There is also a spo:•iel rate for cattle when shipped west- ward, but no preference for .rattle coining east. And while there is spe- cial provision for the western farm- ers' grain, there is no preference for the eastern farmers' potatoes. In short, while the agreement was drawn to fit conditions as they existed more than a score of years ago, it is en- tirely unsuited for the situation to- day; that, at least is the claim of everyone except the Progressive anem- bers who hail from the prairie prov- inces. musuessErimusaimisin W.

Major C. G. Power had Mov- ed to reduce the vote to $300,000 and the subject was discussed at the Gov- ernment caucus a week ago. The re- sult was that the Goverment, in ad- dition, announced further reductions from $300,000 in other items, to meet the demand for reductions ,and there is every prospect that the rest of the estimates for .the department will go through with little •in the way of fireworks. Naval estimates are due any day now and they will bring from the Government an announcement of its policy. There is a rumor, es yet un- confirmed, that the government in- tends asking to be relieved of the three warships which Hon. C. C. Bal- lantyne accepted from the British Government last year. There will be considerable opposition to this, should such a stand be taken, but on the other hand it is widely recognized and admitted that Canada's fleet, as at present constituted is only an ex- pense to the country with its peren- mdal jaunts from Halifax to Esqui- malt via the Panama Canal and back again. The government's policy, however, will not be announced until the naval estimates 'come up. vi es himto :YC. For Air. Tlitionson's however; to - iafgrtu Bieck is the FodCral runtroPer' ,or.

Rate reductions are being held up all over the country until it is known what will happen to this agreement, and the railways, it is generally ac- cepted, would be glad to extend re- ductions generally if they are not compelled to return to this alleged discriminatory schedule. With these questions :before it, the special committee dealing with the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement as- sumes premier impoetancce among the committees of the }louse. The Wheat Board committee has finished its hear- ing of witnesses and is now dealing with drafts of its report to the House. What will come ort of this commit- tee's work is rather hard to foresee. A considerable section of the commit- tee's favors passing legislation to create a compulsory board and then asking the provinces to pass concur- rent legislation to make the federal raw legal. On the other hand, it is somewhat ditfreult, admittedly, to bring this about, though, Alberta and Saskatchewan richt pass the legis- lation asked for, since most of the marketing 'machinery functions in Winnipeg, and political conditions in Manitoba are very much in the 'air at the moment. A voluntary pool would be easy, but this, the farmers of the West do pot want to accept, and also, there %%seed be very great danger of a voluntary pool losing money on the year's operations, . Exclusion of the Orientals occupied a day's debate in the House on Men - day. Moat of the fight naturally came from British Columbia the members from that province desert- ing party lines to plead for exclusion. The government asked That the res- olution before it request "effective re- striction" rather than exclusion, and was supported in that stand. Premier King urged that more could be done by negotiations without the word "exclusion".appearing dm the resolu- tion and :informed the House that the * * * The budget is still awaited.

TO "THAT BAYFIELD HARBOR" Dear Expositor:— In recent issues of The Expositor a couple of articles appeared over the signature of one, Lewis Thomson, in which the writer maliciously attack- ed two -of our reputable citizens, Mr. James Watson and Mr. Wm. Black, M.P. In the first, he tells us that he does not know who MT. Watson is. In the first place we shall endeavor to enlighten him on this subject. Mr. Watson has spent .his life in Seaforth. and has conducted a successful real estate and ,insurance business. As a young man he was associated with his father, who was among the first residents of our enterprising town. Of recent years Mr. Watson •has as- sumed control of this :business .him- self; has lent a 'helping hand un- grudgingly in all church and ben- ovelent schemes; was a member of our council board, and represented Seaforth at the County council, as Reeve of the town. In regard to Bayfield harbor and the undue interference with Mr. Thomson's rights, which led to this accusation of Sabbath disecration, we will merely state the facts. Mr, Black was appointed by a committee of the House to visit this harbor to look in- to its requirements, but we have tt on much more reliable authority than either Mr. Thomson or the correspon- dent of the "Advertiser," that Mr. Black was neither do Bayfield, nor within miles of it on that TparticulaT Sunday. After attending divine ser- vice as usual, he spent the rest of the day quietly with his family and friends, visiting Bayfield on the fol- lowing Monday, and made his report as requested, In -future we would suggest that Mr. Thomson devote his energy to his duties as Secretary of the Lord's Day Alliance, and for the next few months, at least, he will find material for all his capabilities. Mr. Thompson refers tor Mr. Wat- son as a Try cone ctor, but Mr. Wat- eon is as faithful an exponent of Lib- eral principles MI either Mr. Thomsons or his government official for South Huron, and always was foremost in giving his time to the cause he es- poused, both as a private worker and an the platform in support of the : Liberal candidate. He does mot state that he does not know who Mr. Black is, but assails ,ad. YARNA You know you cannot ries .an of seeing the Auto•and. &Totowa, Mas 26th. at Seaforth- ' Notes.—Mass .

Editor, The Expositor: Dear Sir:— My attention has been called to a letter of Mr. Lewis Thompson's which appeared in your paper of May 12th issue. Through unintentional erlror on the part of London Advertiser reporter, who is reporting fre this sled paper tat Ottawa at present, o visited Bayfield on Sunday, whereas I visited Bayfield, in company with Captain Ferguson, on Monday, May 1st, to look over breakwater, and not on Sunday, as reported. Trusting that this explanation will meet with Mr. Thornpson's approval, I beg to remain. Yours sincerely, WILLIAM BLACK, M.P.
