Tuesday, Jan. 19
The ' day in the • Cdtpsmons was a
rare one for those who revel in $
-thing of such engagbig intricacy as
the fundamental law of the' Consti-
tution, ,;
This time it was brought into play
by the alteration in the succession to
the Throne and the necessity under
the new status of Dominion assent to
the procedta4'e,
It was this statute which was. be-
fore the House on its second readinig,
Before -being used it provoked a',
discussion much longer- than had been
anticipated,, as usually -it is very few
who ever venture npon the restricted
enektnire of "a cconstitutionaI argu-
ment.;
The Prime 'Minister '•', is one who
seems to be thoroughly. at ease its
discussing constitutional questions,
and sitting on his right the Minister
of Justice, Hon. Ernest Lapointe. is
sways listened to with interest. In-
deed, today when . he ..was through
with his speech, It left Mr. Wood&
worth in a hopeless floundering posi-
tion. . Mr. Woodswort' had promised
.d
to stir ings. up and "Mike some rev-
elations; ' however,, sd', effective was
the speeoh of Mr. Lapointe who pre-
ceded hirq, that Mr, Woodsworth's re-
marks fell as Sat as`' the proverbial
pancake.
Mr. Cahan, who is a .great consti-
tutionalist,
on»titutionalist, spent much time in en-
deavoring
ndeavoring to show that be did not
agree with the view'. `taken by the
Government. Mr: King'ireminded• him
that his Leader h'ad';,isaid that her
would have taken the , same action as
the. Government did egarding this
case. -"
Mr. Cahan's remarksscompeIled Mr,'
Bennett to speak again. ,He the said
that •lvi}at heshad intend to say was
not that he approved of the method
adopted by the Government, but that
the results were w'hq was approved'
by himself.
. The highlight of the day, however,
was 'Jean • Francois :pout—tint; wlio
arose, at the end of Mr. Woodsworth's
speech and suggested that we have
less talk, that nothing further ,could
be Lane about it, anyway. He was
certainly applauded for his brief re-
marks.
Wednesday, Jan, 20
To -day was Private ' iembers' Day,
,and as usual we listened to debates
which in reality mean ;tothing, nor do
the debaters really . esspect to ancon
push anything.
Hugh Plaxton, Libergi Trinity To-
ronto, spoke on his resolution, "That
a Ministry of Sports be- established
in the Federal Goveruntent." He con-
tended that this move was in the in-
terest
nterest of ,the health of the Canadian
youth,.
, Sitting ,right behind , the writer
when speaking, I got the full 'blasts
of his ineffective appeal.. While he
spoke we», his arguments were not
at all _convincing. ' „
However, one is surprised, ins this
House to see the support given to
appeals of this kind.. ,The veteran,
Tommy Church, is continually telling
the House that our burden of taxa-
tion must be reduced, and yet he sup-
ports every move to inorease expen-
diture.
The Minister "Hon. C. Power"
doubted very much whether it were
necessary to have any in the Govern-
ment to say who should play and who
should not; to say who were profes-
sionals or who were not. He could
see very little benefit that would ac-
crue, but he could see plenty of
headaeheg,and" grief far any Minister
who 'may be in charge bf such a cleft.
On.the suggestion or the Minister the
motion . was diFopped. . ,"
One , wonders ' •when the Members of
this House will come :to their senses
and realize 'that . it ' is tii>tafc ' we' too
.to, put our house otter tind'`relleve
Our people of the' trethei on» bruden
,of taxation that *e are carrying.
Them, too,, we Beard ' frt�n 'the So-'
cial Oredit Leader who *ante' the
,
Qovernment to issue piit'ithasing 'Pow-
er and debt free money. While there
was much theorising, iso real ezplana-
tion was given as to hoir; the thing
could be accomplished. , r
In a very short speech Mr. 7beach-
man, North Htiron, pu'net fired' their
'theory so full. of holes that' there was
really nothing left. 11drrr. s `-Dea""ehnian
closed his remarks by "saying that
Houdini drew rabbits from it hat, but
he never' made any money Ceding the
rabbits. ,
Thursday, Jan. 21
The House heard to -day further rea-
sons why the Government should take
steps to Issue purchasing power to
the people.
It was really a field day for the So-
cial Credit Group. In a qualified way
two Liberals were ready .,to support
a .policy which would have that obs
tact in view. Mr. Tucker, 'from Ros-
thern, Sask., and Mr. ' daNeil, from
Kamloops, •were the two • Liberals who
rather suppdrted the idea' of Mr.
Blackan'r'ore.
Two Ministers, Hon. Mr. Rogers
and Hob. Mr. Dunning, spoke on the
question and both • pointed out the
danger of starting on such a policy.
Mr. Rogers said that purchasing
poweras meaning in the last analysis
goods and services, held away in the
primitive dap; when there was little
or no money. No way by which the
Government could issue purchasing
power was .known 46 him. Mr. Dun-
ning sash • "you cannot get something
for nothing witthoUt: taking it from
someone else. The whole argument
of monetary -reform • es • I see it in.
visages a society Where no one would
work. I sec in Social Credit a brain
trust boreauaacy, givli$g everybody
enough to rive an. The importaat
thing is to create national income. A
taw issue of p irchasipg powerswould
be unavailing Wane it would tend to
reduce the purcha ieg power of mon-
ey already in circulation."
Mr, Bennett, while chiding the Lib-
erals for having inflationists in their
ranks, spoke of the folly of the pro-
posal of Mr. Blackmore.
In the morning .papers was an-
nounced a new refunding loan of some
85 million dollars, in New York, It
evidently did not enter the md'nds of
those proposing and supporting thl»
motley) what effect »,ohms if taken by
bhs Government, would have on 4the
success of thle %she..:Certainly if the
,resolution had been /supported., it,
would ,have meant higher interest
raters would have to be paid, and that
would --not help much.
The rest of the time of the House
was spent debating the Redistribu-
tion Bill of 1933.
Friday, Jan. 22
Ten days of this parliamentary -ses-
sion have displayed a calm which ;s
wholly exceptional There has not
been, so far, more than the slightest
sputtering of fireworkst Ordinarily,
the political factor makes an early
emergence; this year it is very much
in the background. In a discussion
on Social Credit Thursday+ evening
there was, a little warmth exhibited,
but even this was very mild.
As to just what operates to this
'condition of affairs, the "ideas are
definite. Some who were wrought on
that occasion think the prevailing
spirit may be due to the reaction
from the happy emergence from the
Constitutional Crisis. Others think
that the gravity of national problems
has a neutralizing effect upon' the
political proclivities. The more com-
mon view is' that on account of the
Coronation and' the desire of- many
to • go to it, officially or unofficially,
'this ds a session which can accom-
plish its work in short order, com-
paratively, without neglecting any-
thing. And then, too, there -is the
opinion that the Government has
managed things very well and that
we are on the way to more prosper -1
ous times. Anyway, the apparent in
clination is to co-operate and get on
and get through in time for those I
who desire to witness the -important
and' historical event of the Corona-
tion to do so.
To -day most of the time was taken,
up 'with agricultural estimates. The
Minister of Agriculture gave the
members soave interesting informa-
tion. in regard to insect pests and the
•fight against these critters.
Parasites are being used to combat
a ?lumber of insect pests. This meth-
od was used against the spruce saw
fly which was doing .such damage in,
.the spruce forests of Eastern Canada.
"And," said the Minister, "20,000,000
parasites have been turned loose. We
have an army of 20,000,000 fighting
for us," the Minister added. And
that is some army!
Good progress was made during the
week and the Government decided at
six o'clock to call it a day.
