Si K pl The Wingham Advance-Times, Wednesday July 18, 1055 Page Seve« EPORT from & PARLIAMENT HILL & • By W. Marvin Howe, M. P, Wellington-Huron Another very interesting and im­ portant debate that has yet to take place here will he the one during which we consider the second report of the special committee appointed to consider with Mr. Speaker, the pro­ cedure of this House, No one can deny the House of Commons credit for try­ ing. For years, well aware of the pub­ lic criticism that it talks too much, it has had committees studying means of saving time and speeding business. Now it has before it the unanimous report of a special group which would limit members’ speeches in commit­ tee, the House does much of its busi­ ness in committee, to 30 minutes in­ stead of the present 40, restrict de­ bate on the Speech from the Throne to 10 sitting days (it occupied 16 this 'session) and the budget debate to 8 days (13 this session). . TUBELESS ) Super-Cushion ^GOOD/year Whether or not the House adopts this report (and there ar,e always die- hards who are dubious of changes in procedure) the trend of thinking ob­ viously is towards hastening work in the House. For the last number of weeks we in our party with some assistance from the Social Credit Party have been conducting a filibuster against the Government on Bill No, 256 “An Act to Amend the ’ Defence Production Act.” The first section of the bill raises the salary of the Minister of Defence Production to $15,000 a year, “unless he is in receipt of a salary as the Minister of another department.” (Actually the present Minister of Defence Production is holding another ministerial job. He is Minister of Trade and Commerce C. D. Howe.) The second section iB made up of eight little words, “Section 41 of the said Act is repealed.” Sounds innocent enough doesn’t it? But the real dynamite rests in those eight little words. Section 41 in the Defence Produc- Act sets a five year limit to the which gives incredible power to Government. It was passed in so that July 1956 was the time BELGRAVE Costs no more than an ordinary tire and tube! • More blowout protection • Fewer puncture flats • Fits standard rims • Quieter, easier riding BERT ARMSTRONG PHONE: 181 WHERE YOU NEVER , HAVE TO BLOW YOUR HORN ■A ‘ seconds of every day t i buys a new Incredible but true — this is the amazing result of the ever-growing preference for Chevrolet.- Day-in and clay-out, Sundays only excepted, there’s a proud new Chevrolet owner every 4.19 seconds. You see them here, you see them there, you see them everywhere — enjoying the pleasures of driving Chevrolet. And because motoramic Chevrolet is such an overwhelming favorite this year, to a greater extent than ever before, Chevrolet leads in popularity — value — sales. (Incidentally, while you were reading this, four Chevrolets were bought!) A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE tion Act, the 1951 limit. So now, Parliament is being asked to give these sweeping powers to the Government, such as were given in war time, permanently. No other Democratic country in the world has given such powers or allowed such an act on its statutes. Why is the Government asking for such powers ’at this time? Back in 1951, when the ’ Defence Production Act, with its five year time limit was passed, we were at war in Korea. To­ day we are not at war anywhere. In fact, last week in this column I quot­ ed Minister of External Affairs, L. B. Pearson, as saying world conditions were much improved. True, our guard against Communism is strength, but it does not have .to be a dictator’s strength. So, why is the Government asking for such pow.ers? My own belief is that a clash of personalities is taking place in the cabinet. You -have only to sit in the House of Commons to realize that there are a good many unhappy Ministers listening to the debate on this bill. The Prime Mini­ ster himself, and the Minister of Finance haven’t even sat in the House while the debate went on. There have been no spokesmen among the Liberal members on behalf of the bill. I be­ lieve it is Mr. Howe’s baby and he has forced it down the throats of his colleagues, just as he will force it down the throats of the Opposition and of the people of Canada. Mr. Howe is not a man who likes to be crossed. What will it mean to Canadians? It means that the entire economy and manpower of Canada is placed in •the hands of one man, the Minister of-Defence Production. It means that any or every contract, including union contracts, could be over-ridden by the Government. It means that any plant, any commodity, any property, any in­ dustry could be taken over under the guise of a defence project. It means that the Government has power to dissolve any labor contract. If the Rt. Hon, Clarence Decatur Howe thought that a certain industry was paying fringe benefits out of line from other industries, he could break the contract between management and. workers. That is why I say bill 256 is dyna­ mite and if we have to sit here until August, Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposi­ tion will talk against it. We can’t win because the Liberal majority is too strong against us but we can voice our objections, 51 times at 40 minutes a time! In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank the local news­ papers for providing the facilities through the medium of which I have been able from time to time to bring you these reports from Parliament Hill, and sincerely hope that the summer season will be a pleasant one for you all.

The tag on the bag? To some extent yes, but it is the actual feeding result that tells the true story. The number of pounds of feed it requires to produce a pound of milk, a dozen eggs or a pound of gain and the cost of that feed are the real measures of the worth of a ration. At the SHUR-GAIN Demonstration Farm at Maple, feeding tests are constantly in progress to determine the feeding efficiency of different rations. It is on this large 500 acre farm that the “dollar earning capacity" of SHUR-GAIN feeds is first tested and proven. When you buy SHUR-GAIN you KNOW you can count on good results—because you're getting prov- en performance. .Call at our mill soon and let tis discuss the “dollar earning” SHUR-GAIN programs.
