surprised -thee the leader of the op-
position would make such a state-
ment, as the Heise well recalled how
he himself was abs!ept so much when
in .the same ,positions M'r. Benlnett
rather. spoiled dais argiument by u
com-
plaining that he was attacked in a
similar fashion when the Liberals
were in opposition.
In answer to a question by the
member Or Huron -Perth; the Prime
Minister announced that the Com-
mons would sit on Thursday, ,June 9.
He pointed: out that the "British Par-
liament sat on the King's birthday.
Apparently the members are anxious
to get through and tbie Whops bad
made an inquiry and had agreed that.
the House should sit on the King's
birthday.
The, Sweepstakes Bill was up for
discussion again .and Mr. Barber
(Conservative, Fraser Valley, B. C.)
protested against the change in the'
bill since it got its first reading, and
the ,Speaker reserved his decision on
the point of order raised.

Monday, June 6th
There was never much ,hope fpr
the way being paved this session for
creating a natioftai systema. of social
insurance, but what there was, was
removed today by the definite state-
ment of the Prime Minister, In the
'House of Co1nm'ons.
The effect of his statement vias:
that he 'had hoped the provinces.
-would have given their essential con-
sent to the necessary. procedure, but
all of them have not done so. The•..
Prime Minister stateddafinitely that
there would be no attempt made to
coerce them in any, way at all, and
that it would only be by oons,ent that
such p. program wouleene entered in-
to. This was • one of the interesting
points of the day. -
Another feature was the airing of
the Vancouver relief strikers prob-
lem. It would appear that these
strikers have deliberately planmed a
system by which they topesto force
the hand of the Provincial Govern-
ment to give then- preferential treat-
ment. This the Government has' no
intention ofsd ging. •
In the coulee of the day the Bill
went through which authorizes $30,-
000;000 loans to municipalities for
self-liquidating works, Also in the
day's work was tale passing of a large
number of item's in the...publie works
estimates.
. The cohu il,ttee investigating the op-
eration of the Civil Service Act had
an interestir g..meeting, and an effort
was made to try to ascertain just
bow much efficiency there is in the
Service.
`Mi•: Putman, Chief of the Organiz-
ing Branch, was giving evidence, and
he told the committee that he felt
the various departments were.operat-
ing just as efficiently as is the case
in private business. -
* * *
just Weal as to the 1935 federal exec-
tion ''Major Webb, Of WitelliPeg, sand
head of the Conservative organiza-
tion in Manitoba, had scouted the tea
Merry and had cones do the coach). -
Men ,that a little money "not nenes-
sdrily s<peni" but pnomdeed to -"be
spent, would win three ridings. Major
Webb sent 'hiss letter to Mr. Bennett
addressing him as "My Deer Chief."
Copies were sent bo Messrs. Lawson,
Manion, Gordon and others. He was
delightfully frank' in intimating what
could be aceonplis'hed 1>olideally by
a little diplomatic act on the part of
the Federal Government.
The charges made today .may war-
rant an investigation by the Public
Accounts ,Committee. HOD. Ian Mac-
kenzie, Arthur Slaugh`t, Hon. Mr.
Rogers, the Prime Minister and the
Leader sae the Opposition all took
part in the day's debate. It was a
hectic day with little business done.
Mr. Bennett's charge regarding cer-
tabs irregularities around Kingston
was completely shattered by the La-
bor Minister.
His charge against the National De-
fence Department that the Depart-
ment had refused to accept the low-
est tender for the supply of coal, was
also a dud. Apparently, the man re-
ferred. to by Mr. Bennett had sup-
plied coal for a provincial institution
at Kingston. An affidavit was read
.showing that this man had given a
Lill -for 60 tons of coal which he
claimed had been placed in a bin
teat when measured could not hold
over 50 tons of coal.
It was also charged that during the
years he supplied the coal the aver-
age cost was something over $1,400
per year. Since that time the ave.: -
age cost has been around $800. There-
fore, in view of these facts the Min-
isrr'r of National Defence said he had
no apology to make for refusing to
give this gentleman any more oon-
tencts.
Wednesday, June Sth .
The housing legislation brought in-
to Par -lament today reads like one of
the most im}"ortant enactments of
this session: It is understood that
the budget will be brought down' next
week and the trade agreements will
sot belucludd, in it. Therefore, the
Housing 'Scheme, as introduced by
Mr. Dunning, is considered of special
importance.
Mr. Dunning was in good form and
made a real speech, with appropriate
emphasis on the main points. The
plan is pictured as an advance move
kn sd'cial betterment and calculated,
in this way, to elevate the standard
of living conditions. It is also des-
cribed as a challenge to the construc-
tion industry,. which has been lag-
ging, whether or, not the fault is its
own. Tauntherm•ore, steps are taken
to relieve the taxation on certain
types of 'houses to be ,built under the
plan through the Government subsid-
izing the municipality to . p'ay the tax-
es on the house (not the lot) 100 per
cent. the first year, 50 per cent, the
second year, and 25 per cent the
third.
Phe Opposition. Leader did not op-
posesounded

some notes of reservation, and saw
difficulties in the way. The members
who spoke an the question generally
were in agreement.
Some of the highlights announced
were as follows: Bill would ,mare
$100,000,000 available for new housing
construction, $45,000,000 of it Domin-
ion Government funds.
The Government would loan• ap-
proximiately $15,000,000 to private
bone builders, owners putting up eq-
ual amotn ts, and lending in•stitution•s
about $45,000,000 loans aggregating
$30,000,000 would be made to muni-
cipal housing authorities and limited
dividend corporations for -construc-
tion of low cost, low rental housing.
Houses or apartments built under
the $30,000,000 scheme would be rent-
ed only to low income tenants unless
rens were available; Government
payment of municipal taxes en new
houses for three years on a graduated
scale.
Tonight indication's are that the
Province of Seekatchewan will have
another Liberal Government.
Tuesday, June 7th
Final approval was given by the
House of C•ommans yesterday to the
Domin-
ion
Bill raising the Do i
i•on Beard of Railway CominissioZe_5
'to the status of' a Transport Commis-
sion with wider powers of control ov-
er railway, air and water transporta-
tion. This Bill now goes to the Sen-
ate where a somewhat similar bill
was defeated last session. This bill
is somewhat modified but it is hard
to guess how it will fare this year.
Before the Railway Committee and
in the House the debate on this bill
-has been prolonged and argumentive
en the agreed charges. This is the
first time that this •system has been
;tried in Canada, but. in England :t
has been in operation and is reported
to be working very well.
Mr. Stevens very bitterly opposed.
• this clause both in tbe committee and
in the House; indeed, be moved an
amendment that the Transport Board
•could not approve any agreed charges
in sections of . the oauntry where
highway transportation is not com-
petitive with the railways. The amend-
ment was defeated without a vote.
When the yeas and nays were called,
Mr. Stevens seemed to be alone.
Mr. Pouliot caused quite a laugh-
ter when ,he introduced a petition
from a large number of people on the
border of his constituency who want-
ed Canada to annex 'that part of the
State of Maine.
Mr. Bennett attacked the Govern-
ment very heatedly today and in line
-with the propaganda that is being dil- tplttion to the fact and no one come
i'g'ently supplied the press of all kind, lug to relieve the situation, the
Speaker had to adjourn the meeting.
At eight o'clock sharp there wore
only about five of us in the °hamhet's;
at our minutes after eight- there were
only sixteen. Mr. Bennett, who wee
e`idently in baa humour all after -
neon. was quick to take advantage of
the situation, had the clerk count the
members. In a few minutes members
started to flock in but it was too late.
Some were highly excited about it
and wondered if it ever happened be-
fore. It did.
The explanation is quite clear. It
was the King's birthday and out oa
the lawn the Governor -General's foot -
guards were doing • the ceremonial
trooping of the colors. A rare night
n. June and a glorious sunset gild-
ing the towers, the band playing, the
military executing their movements
in fine form and t'housan'ds looking
on, all this suggested to many mem-
bers to do. a little looking also. They
lingered too long and, their failure to
respond to the, bell in sufficient num-
ber caused a Back' of quorum. Conse-
quet,tly the House was forced bo take,
the night off. It was thought by
many to be a pretty cheap trick.
In the House while it was in ses-
sion- the Labour Minister's estimates
were being considered. Mr. Bennett
vigorously attacked the Minister for
the system of patronage in his own
riding. The Minister denied any
knowledge of the statements made.
This row and the results in' Saskat-
chewan evidently disturbed the tem-
per of the leader of the opposition.

Excitement ran ,high in the House
today -quite the liveliest of the ses-
sion. Tempers were worked up to a
high pitch. Denunciatory lengfage
was uttered in angry tones; Seaga)
were maale and "hurled back in' the
teeth,"'iso to speak, and generally the
ru•otfi'ons were long, loud and large.
Mr. Bennett had ,started . in anew
the night before by bringing up al-
legabioms about relief work at King-
ston, and the conditions of employ-
ment. Today he set out to elaborate
them about a Mr. Stanbury's garage,
about the disappearance of some ma-
terials and a lot of things Mang that
line and others. Ile reiterated what
he has said beforeabout corrupting
influences of political patronage and
its rampanhy and took thigh moral
ground in depreciating it.
Thee the other side went back at
him. The Primo Minister, making
the most vigorous speech he 'hast in
years, denounced what had been ex-
posed by a return of correspondence,
produced' on, Thers.daY•
