.ReadingSpeeches inParliament
The rules of the House of Com -
plans forbid the reading of speeches
by member's, and it is an olcl ruling
that dates back to theMother of Par-
liaments in the days of the Stuart
Kings, when the King and,, Parlia-
ment were constantly at war with
• one another. At that time Members
of Parlianient did not want the King
to know what they were saying in
the House, and to further that end,
members were forbidden to read
from manuscripts, which might eas-
ily be' carried out of the Commons,
and in that manner get into circula-
tion. •
The need, of such a rule has, of
course, long since vanished, but it
has remained a rule of both Parlia-
ments to this day, although as far' as
the Dominion Parliament is concern-
ed, there seems to be a growing habit
to disregard it in recent years. In
fact, it is stated that every member
who has yet spoken in the debate on
the budget has read his speech in
whole or in part. /
That is most unfortunate, because
the reading of stifled essays is a
wearisome business without interest
to' anyone. Further', it tends to make
all debates -deadly dull and, robs the
members of much of their authority.
Still further, it is 'a time and money
consumer and lends itself to rather
'dishonest practises.
Not many members of Parliament
are real orators; not many are top-
notch -debaters,. But there are al-
ways. some of both in every Parlia-
ment, and it is an easy matter for
one member to write..a speech_and
• give it to some one else to read. That
• has been done, and is being done as
anyone who follows Hansard at all
• closely is fully aware. •
,
It. is claimed that C.C.F. Members
•invariably read their speeches in the
• House, and as the members of that
party occupy as much, or more, of
• the time of Parliament in debate, On
• any and all subjects- as any two
other parties combined, it is- not at
• all surprising that sessions linger on
• month after month when there is not
the slightest need for such long ses-
sions.
A member can continue with ease,
to read aloud for forty minutes—the
•time allotted—when it is doubtful, if
the same member could speak extem-
poraneously for ten minutes. But
that ten minute speech would, with-
out a doubt, hold the attention of the
•• House, and of the country, to a much
greater extent, than would a forty
minute essay, 'and the halt hours
spared in debate every day and ev-
ery week -would shorten a session by
two months.
There is som xcuse for a, minis-
• ter reading his speech when, he is
making some .important announce-
ment on Government policy, or giv-
• ing the House some complicated de-
tail, but it is only a few years ago
that even ministers were not permit-
'• ted this privilege. Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier, Sir Itobert Borden and Mr.
Meighen never read a speech, while
great Finance Ministers' like Foster
-• and Fielding only used a few notes
• when they presented their budgets.
•• In the present House there is, how-
ever, one outstanding exception, that
is the Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister
tof Agrictliture, who has never been
• known to read a speech; • ' '
• It- is true that Ministers' duties
• and responsibilities have increased a
•litindredfold in recent years, and par-
'• 'titularly in wartime one can excuse
" ;-therti for taking short cuts, but the

on(' prices Drop
Since the C.C.F. came into power
in the• ,recent Saskatchewan . elec-
tions, there has been a drop in the,
market quotations for Saskatchewan
• bonds of three points, and one issue
is clown even more than that.
In view of • the statement recently
made by Saskatchewan's new Pre-
mier, coupled with the general atti-
tude of the C.C.F. party, this drop
is, perhaps, not surprising. The Can-
adian Press quoted 'Mr, Douglas as
saying that his government would
seek to refund the Provincial debt of
some $225,000,000 at lower interest
rates, because the C.C.F. policy was
refunding. But, he added, "if the
boys are too tough," then other
means would ,have to be considered.
Other -,Canadian Provinces are re-
funding at lower interest rates as
their bond issues are maturing, but
Mr. Douglas' statement would., lead
one to suppose that he proposes to
secure an immediate reduction in in-
terest rates without waiting .for the
bond issues to/Mature. If the bond-
holders refuse his demand he will,
apparently, try to compel them. But
the Alberta Government tried that
•• some years ago, and is still bitterly
regretting their action.
No doubt Saskatchewan will want
money for its reconstruction pro-
gram, but how is the Province going
to get that money if its Premier
talks like that, and by raising doubts
• and 'suspicions in the minds of in-
vestors, either at home or abroad.
• But perhaps Mr. Douglas forgot,
when he made his little fighting
speech .to the Press, that he was no
longer free to make irresponsible ut-
terances. That as Premier of the
Province he held a very important
post of public responsibility. That
he no longer belonged to a care -free
opposition, that could say or promise
anything.
•
About Success
• The next time you hear a bitter
tirade made against the head of the
Army, the, Navy, the _Airforce, or
the Government, you can get quite
a bit of cortifort by remembering this
Disraeli anecdote:
"Sir, what is your definition of
success?" some one asked Disraeli.
The British Prime -Minister- con-
sidered the question, then replied in
his usual satirical manner: "Young
man, all that I can say about suc-
cess is this: It is one unpardonable .
sin that any man can commit in the
eyes of his less fortunate fellows."
„ •
Hang Oh To The Old One
• The chances of our motor loving
cousins to the south of getting a new
car took a decided drop 'last week.
• with the disclosure by the Office of
Price Administration, that only 30,-
000 new cars remain to meet' all re-
quirements until automobile produc-
tion can be resumed after the war.
In normal times, these 30,000' cars
would only take care of three days'
buyer demands. But at the same
• time the agency also announced that,
it had removed inner tubes from the
rationing ',list and had granted an in-
crease in__the number of new tires
for Jury and August.
Over here the situation is not a bit
better; and the tire situation even
worse, so after all the old jollopy will
have to do for quite some time yet.
•
Save Time
The motto of the great airlines on
the North American Continent is
said to be, "Why telephone? Go
•yourself. It saves time." And

And that, before very long, may
literally become true, judging by the
plans being made by aviation line
to handlethe most perishable goods
in air. cargoes.
Lettuce has been flown from the
Pacific to the Atlantic; a shipment

Milk Recording Not a New System
Milk recording„is not a new sys-
tem. lt,was practised by the ancients
thousands of • years before the Chris-
tian era. In more recent times, be-
fore A.D. 900, milk recording was in
comtnon 'usage in the principality of
Wales. In the s ummer " time, the
Welsh farmers Migrated; to the hills
and turned thole cows into untouched
paster. Every day, the yield of each
cow wa's -redorded and poured into a
common churn, each farmer later re-
ceiving his equitable share of butter
and cheese, according to the yield of
his cow on that day. The record was
Made by what, was known as the
Venedotian measure, and not by
weight.
The measure was in accordance
with the code of Venedotia, the chief
of the early States of Wales, and was
a vessel of three thumbs width across
the tole and nine teumbs diagonally.
A thumb was ,about an inch, so that
the Venedotian measure held about a
gallon of milk. A normal cost was
expected to give about two gallons of
milk a day. Three-timeseasdae milk-
ing was also well known in WaleS in
the twelfth century, and the month
of May was' known ,as the month of
three rankings, a day.
With regard to the ancient record-
ing of milk, a frteze, representing a
farm -a-bOut -B;C1-; -was recently
