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. g. He _*Abed that the Prinne ter had sot average over 1'ya Pen day In the 'Ruse dw'ir.g salon. Mr. LaPointe said 'he wee 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 m•er. t he en ct , but the a 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. a * Friday, June 10th HAY ;t' 4„ * Thursday, June 9th A 'rare thing happened in the House of Com'mone tonight. The sit- ting blew up, so to speak, for lack of a quorum.
