Address Dept. 908. �kl Saturday, May 20 While the House of Commons Med- dled lodled wearily through estimates of var- ious kinds and aleo listened to a re- port from the Chairman of the Civil $Service Committee on superannuation the Senate was listening to one of the most important debates that have taken place doe that House this sta- llion. . The Senate's discussion. centered around the railway problem and it was carried on all afternoon and. eve- ning and is not through. The Senate Committee' • investigating this problem reported) in favor of more reopera- tion and the Government leader in the Senate asked for concurrence in this report. Many in the Senate are in favor of unification or anialgama- tion and It was between these oppos- ing forces that the debate was so vig- orously carried" on. Senator Da'ndu- rand ,said that if unification was car- ried out we would have another Mac- kenzie and Mann affair. Senator Mc- Rae who organized for the Conserva- tives in 1930, is definitely opposed to unifcatiom. He said unification was not solution at all; he had fears of monopoly from that standpoint. In all, Senator McRae made one of his best speeches. The division on this, question will be interesting as Senator Meighen is for unification while the Conservative leader, Dr. Manion, Is' definitely against it. It is significant too' that at the Conservative Convention when Dr. Manion was chosen leader that convention registered their objection to unification of the railroads. - While many talk of this. plan, none so far have given any definite inti- mation of what it really means, or what would be involved that would make conditions better for -the coun- try. , • s * s Monday, May 22 The atmosphere and the proceed- ings of. Parliament to-dhy suggested strongly -aa anti -climax. After three days of hectic and historic proceed- ings, the Rouse so serene as to form the most vivid contrasts. The flags were still flying, but the crowds were .gone. It was hard to settle down to taking a real interest in the questions before the House. The details of the budget were being considered and good progresswas made with these items. Considerable discussion took place regarding the price of radio parts, and many thought that under patent rights the people are being exploited. This matter is 'being further consid- ered by the tariff board, In the evening Mr. Crerar's esti- mates were under consideration, and he was peppered with questions re- garding the increased use of Mari- time and Western coal in the central provinces. The subsidy now paid for this purpose amounts to some 3% mil- lion dollars. Almost every member from the coal -producing sections of East and West spoke on the question, urging the increased use of their pro- duct. Mr. Crerar had to leave for the West without being able to get these estimates passe& Denton Massey seized the occasion of the health estimates to make an- other elaborate discourse on the un- equal distribution of health services among our people. He again tried to justify his speech earlier in the ses- sion, when be referred to thousands of transients dying from exposure and lack of nourislhment. * * * Tuesday, May 23 Both Houses of Parliament will sit to -morrow, May 24th, as is custom- ary when the session approaches pro-' ,rogation However, the end of the session is not certain. Today the bill of Hon. Mr. Dunning to create a central mort- gage bank was under consideration, and it its now evident that this bill 'is going to have plenty of opposition. All opposition members contended it should go to the Banking Committee for full Consideration. This was agreed to. In the debate the Con- servatives blew hot and cold, some things in the bill being O.K. and others not so good. The Social Cred- it and C.C.F. were opposed to it; therefore it will go to the committee and if that is done it will take many days of consideration. Mr. Dunning's bill to authorize the Government to borrow nidney for maturing obligations and new issues, met further oppaeiti•on today. The C.C.F. orad a sub -amendment to this bill, but when the question was put there were only four in the House and it requires five to call a vote. • The amendment of Mr. Landeryon i;o issue 200,000,000 million dollars of Govermemept money was then voted on, with the result that all Liberals, Tories and C.C.F. voted against the Social Credit amendment. This group had thirteen votes for it. The Bill then went to committee at 6 p.m. In the evening Mr. Power's pen- sion estimartes were up for oonsidera• tion. Howard Green (Con-.) and Grant McNeil (C.C.F.) urged the Government to take care of all re- turned men now unemployed, but are nevertheless employable. These gen- tlemen are constantly urging the Gov- ernment to spend more and more, and yet they condemn the Government for not.. reducing taxation. These esti- mates will receive further considera- tion. .,* Thursday, May 25 For weeks this lesbian the Western members talked about wheat, a sub- ject of which the rest of the House knows little—they"liad to take it an& like it. Neither Quebec nor Ontat-io mernlbers have any particular theme to exploit, but those from the Mari- time Provinces move right into their native element when anything comes up about fish, --salt fish especially. It. has been a great item on the diet of a country which has produced so many outstanding statesmen, • s An* 'eft Swal cit with Rheamatisxu : • This woman aufl ered for many yearn. Palo sapped. hew strength un- til core lost hope of recovery. Many remedies were tried, but nothing broke the giip' of ter crippling rheumatism. At last herr husband persuaded her to try Krusohen Salts:— "My anus and feet were swollen with rheumatism," she writes. "I Gould not walk nor get regular sleep, and nothing did me any lasting good. I was so ihopelesa of ever getting bet- ter, etter, I lost my good' nature entirely.. Then my husband persuaded me to try Kruschen Salts. After two weeks I began to feel better. I persevered, andin six woks T was doing house- work. Later, I Was able to go for a walk. Now I am free from pain and I feel grand."i--(Mrs.) F.W. Rheumatism is commonly caused by depo&•its ofeurie acid crystals, which lodge in the muscles and joins. K.rrs- ehen chaps to break up these depos- its of troubling crystals and to con- vert onvert them into a eharmIless solution, which is removed through the hatitral channel—the kidneys. 'Dherefore, today was a Maritime Members' day. A Bill before the House ie her the purpose of subsidiz- ing the export of salt fish. Some of the Members 'were apprehensive of what effect the bill would have on the 15we fitbermen. They thought it would cniy bap the big exporting companies. However, .be was assur- ed by the Minister that it was the )line fishermen that the legislation wail intended fo help. This, debate revealed the debating strength of the members from the Maritimes, and it is certainly strong. In the Senate the railway debate was carried on with vigor by Senator Meiglien. He is all for unification and stated that be regretted having to take an opposite stand to what Dr. Manion believes. This is an interest- ing debate and will aikely>e carry on for some days. * * s Friday, May n6 The outstanding event in to -day's parliamentary iproceeding was the vote taken in the Senate on -t)ie . ques- tion of the unification of the two rail- roade. Those in favor led by Hon. Mr. Meighen made a strong appeal for support of their views" regarding this serious problem. The vote stood 25 for unification and 21 against. It was not much of a majority; but the worst feature viewing it from an out- sider's viewpoint was the fact that out of a membersbip of 96 in the Senate, anely 46 voted on this import- ant problem. It is true of course that there are some vacancies in the 'Senate, but allowing for that,, it is surely significant that only 46 votes could be rallied on this question. With 9 vacancies, it etill Left 41 Senators who did not vote. In the Senate tree Conservatives have an overwhelming majority, oat all did not follow their Leader in the vote to -day! -many voted with the Liberals. It 4s a strange picture when we see Hon. Mr. Meighen set- ting himself up as the one to solve this vexed question, because he above all others had more to de with bring- ing about the present situation than any other one person. It will be re- called that it was under Iris leader- ship that the roads were takep over and with the road all the financial obligations, including all guarantees entered into' by lbs Provinces, such as the MacKenzie & Mann & Roblin guarantees in the Province of Mani- toba for the Canadian Northern. It will be recalled that back in 1914 Hon. R. B. Bennett charged Mr. Meighen with being the mouthpiece for this group. , • It is significant too t2ba.t while the debate was going on 1n the Senate, H,on. Dr. Manion was speaking against unification in the House of. Commons and it was a rather 'bitter and deter- mined speech at that. Ln tee House of Connors the de- bate was on Mr. Dunning's Bill to set up a Oentrai Mortgage Bank. Some Western Members were all for it, while others were opposed: Lt will go to the Banking Committee. The rest of the time was taken up in esti- mates. It is uncertain when the House will prorogue as many committees have yet to report, Tuesday, Col. Drew will appear before the Bren Gun Com- mittee to anscwer as best be can some of the charges levelled at tibe Defence Department. He is reported as hav- ing said this contract was conceived in sin, born in iniquity andbased on fraud. These are serious statements incl after some thirty members sit- ting in the Public Accounts Commit- te's investigation, it would appear that eat one word 'of it is true. But Col. Drew will have to tell bis own story. - CHNX, WINGHAM 100 Kea 250 Metres WEEKLY PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Friday, June 2 — 12.45 p.m., Kay Kyser Orchestra; 6.10, The Farmer's News; 7, "Light Up and Listen"; 730, Chainrway Program.
