Monday, March -3
one of the lasting hang.overs frolit
the last war is the .Soldierte pension
-.bill, costing around fifty million per.
year, and not yet at its Maximum. It
is among ,the primary obligations. of
the country, ranking with the nation-
al debt. The. grounds , of pension
eligibility has increased as agitations
have occurred, .and as invescagatiOns
have been held, and now comes the
new war naturally producing a naw
crop. This was the feature, of today's
discussion.
To the principle of widening the
scope to take in the present forces,
there is of course no objection, but
there was plenty of criticism' regard-
ing thee medical examinations. -It came
as quite a jolt to the House to know
that of the more than 200,000 who
have been enlisted! nearly 19,000 have
been discharged as being medically
unfit. Laxity in examinations was al-
leged and .a great deal of -.criticism
was directed against the medical men
who;made the examinations.
Dr. McCann came to the defence of
his brethren of the profession claim-
ing that the record of examinations
here was betterethan in the U.S.A.
Mr. Pouliot made a most vicious ata
tack du the pension commission, -
singling out particularly the. doctors
on the staff, but Hon. Ian, MacKenzie
.sprang to tbe defence of these gentle-
men in Isis own eloquent language
which is always listened to with at-
.tention:
Mr. Hanson told of a youth partial-
ly blind and.another with- a club foot
being called for thethirtyday train-
ing. This drew reply from, Hon. C.
Powers' and Hon. Mi-. Ralston.
• Mr. Powers' point was,that the med-
ical boards were 100 per cent better
than in the last war, while the Hon.
Mr. Ralston admitted that some have
been enlisted who should not have
been; bowever, he said that of those
discharged from active service 1,073
were under age and 1,289 were
turned to essential war services; 520
were let out for misconduct and 4,067
because they were not likely to be-
come good soldiers. The D.O.C.'s are
now to take a head in it instead of
the' officer commanding a regiment
doing the weeding out.
The other subject before the House
was the resolution to set up a com-
Mittee to study the defence -of -Canada
regulations. This created quite an
argument between some of the C.C.F.
members and the members from B. C.
Mr. Gray Turgeon, Liberal member
from Cariboo, delivered a broadside
against ths-C.C.F., quoting statements
and speeches that they have made
from time to time. He gave them
an uncenefortable time while he was
Mita.. Colwell had another go at tbe
at
Editor of the Ottawa Citizen and in
this case the C.C.F. leader had, the
sympathy Of the Rouse. The Citizen
had departed 'from. facts in their at-
tack On Mr. Colwell, and the criticism
he made was certainly justified.
At the opening of the sitting .Dr.
Bruce asked Mr. Howe to give the
House the substance of what was con-
tained in Mr. McMilian's report and
which was omitted from it when laid'
on the table. Mr. Howe pointed out
that be had told the }4s0 that the
IT. K. Government did not want this
revealed and that was the only reason°
Why -it was noAlna,de public. • -

Tuesday, March 4
Controversy goes on in the cos entry
over Canada's war effort and its ef-
ficiency and a lot of other •matterS
related to it. Whether it is as effici-
ent as it should be or not the facts
are there are tremendous expendi-
tures being made for providinemater-
ial and men. Questions continually
arise as to whether all of these ex-
penditures are wisely made; are the
goods being delivered, etc. All -these
things are to be made the subject for
parliamehtery investigation. Discus-
sion of this subject was the most en-
livened sine the opening of this .part
of the session.
The Prime Minister .had a motion
before the House to appoint a parlia-
mentary committee of 24 rnembere to
consitute a select committee to in-
vestigate these expenditures. There
was no dispute about the settling' up
of the committee, but as to its du-
ties and to the methods employed! to
investigate these matters, there was
considerable difference of opinion.
The Government and the, opposi-
tion had agreed in December that
there should be •such! a committee,
end the leader of the opposition asked
then, only that current expenditure be'
looked into; now he wants to go 'back
to the beginning. In. December the
•,idea was to assist the Government in
making economics' a high and lofty
note; now that, apparently, has been
replaced with an idea to search for
scandal.
The Prime Minister's motion was
exactly as the motion to set up the
British Committee, and the intention
is to, have it function' in the same
manner as the British cordnettee is
now functioning.
Articles in the Toronto Globe and
Mail and in the Montreal Gazette
dealing with the subject were de-
nouareed as false, malicious and libel-
lous. The Prime Minister gave evi-
dence to support his statements and
his evidence was certainly, well sup-
ported, by facts.
The Prime Minister stated that
great. care. had been exercised in se-
lecting the personnel •of this commit-
tee as he did want this to be a non-
partbsen and fact-finding committee.
He -showed" how necessary it was to
have .this committee deal with these
thiegs in Canada as is being done in
Britain.
Mr. Hanson was diem:minting in
his address as it was quite evident
there was a disposition to Use the
committee for purposes hot intlieated
in his first approach to this subject
I -low -ever, he excused his change of
mind by. the House that he
had hot realised what he Was agree

Mr. Lepoirite told the House that it
was not the Paannillete, but leafieta;

contended that the mounted police
were only discharging their duty and
be said that while Wire. Neilson leer -
sea may not be doing anything direct-
ly that could reallyabe considered
subversive, nevertatlaess, she was in
bad company as the files in his de-
partment would Meow.
Mrs. Neilson had complained ablaut
her paraphlets being seized and claim-
ed. These contained only extracts
frons her speech in the House, but.
Mr. Lapointe read one of the leaflets
which went far ',beyond anything she
had said in 6e House: Mrs. Neilson
left the House before the Minister
started his reply to her speech.
The Minister's, motion passed and
the committee will be set up soon to
get on with, its work.
Wednesday, March 5
After the storm. of the night before
there was relative calm in t4e. House
today when the set-up of the Com-
mittee on War Expenditure was under
discussion. Some very good speech-
es relative to the work of the com-
mittee was made by Douglas Abbot,
(Liberal), Montreat, Brooks Clayton
(Liberal), :Montreal, Mr. Maybeve B.
C., Douglas Ross (Cons), Toronto. Al]
of these speakers were strong for a
thorough job with . no politics in it.
Joe Harris intimated that if things in
the Committee were not conducted to
suit him, he would withdraw, This,
of course, is ridiculous, for one meM-
ber in' a committee im 24 to take. Itt
fact that sort of a chap should never
be on any committee.
Mrs. Neilson was in difficulty when
she undertook to speak on a question
of privilege. Pate rules of the House
mits one to make an explanation
e member claims to -have been,
misrepresented. But it is' not a de-
bate and does not permit readings of
letters, etc. Very few observe the
rules and are then' resentful if the
Speaker reminds them -of his duties
which is to see that the rules are ob-
served. They charge; as was done
by Mrs. Neilson, that freedom of
epeech is being- curtailed.. Mrs. Neil-
son tried, to kill three birds with one
stone, but was not allowed to carry
out suCh a wide operation.
She tried to give the platform of
her party. She read a letter, or part
of it, and then had to lay it on the
table. That, of course, she objected
to. In the letter the writer quoted a
mounted policeman as. saying if she
did not watch her step she would end
herself interned.
The letter itself was- warning her
to be careful, and also iiitietated•that
some of her constituents were dis-
gusted with her. It is a document
that very- few members would want
on the- records.
Some of the daily paper were again
under fire, the Globe and Mail end
the Montreal Gazette being particu-
larly singled, out. It is evident that
they. are carrying a caamlpaign as
twin brothers in their effort to die -
credit the Government.- There is still
the talk of bringing those of other
party strife into the Government. Mr.
Bennett is the only one mentioned, as
yet, but this did not arouse any ma
thusiasm from even the Conserva-
tives.
At the end of • the sitting Mark,
.Senn. (Cons.) started on the job :of
moving a want of confidence to the
Government in regard to its agricul-
tural policies.
Mr. -Senn made a speech in 1929
when agricultural prices were really
good and 'denotinced the Government
for its agricultural-aoliciee. In, 1930
the Conservative Governmeht came
into power. Mr. Senn, as stipporter
of that governenent, had, nothing to
say when agricultural prices reached
an al -time low, hogs as low
as $2.a0 per cwt. and cattle less than
4c in many places, but Mr. Senn nev-
er murmured' at all; now he is mak-
ing the same •sort of attack that he
did in: 1929.
* * *
Thursday, March 6
• The first thing on the order paper
today was the, motion. of the Minister
of Pension -to set up a committee to
deal with. the Pension Bill now before
the House. The .motion was carried.
and the bill will go to comroittee for
study and then a report will be made
to the House.
Several members spoke and mostof
them wanted greater allowances iii
one way or the other for the men on
active service. It was contended that
pension should cover every one on
leave, as well as if they were on duty.
The act is the same in this respect
as the act of the Compensation Board
which only covers a person who is in-
jured or otherwise put out ef commis-
sion while engaged in the discharge
of his duty. That is the intention: of
the pension act as it is now, and real-
ly no great fault should be found with
it as this principle is adopted by all
countries'. But these matters always
provide a field day for those who are
not charged with the responsibility of
providing the funds to meet all these
costs which continue to mount from
year to year.
The second order was the continua-
tion of the debate on the War Appro-
priation BBL Mr. Dieferbaker was
the first speaker and he was suspic-
lens of tae situation in connection
with the aeroplane industry. He felt
that the industry had fallep down and
he tried to link the minister with, the
responsibility of this and thought that
he should have dissOlved Pectoral ,Air-
craft ilimited, hlir. Howe -was of the
opinion that It' 'would be foolish

ary member of parliament, tea, he has.
,falten down badly -in the'estimationaa,
the members. It would be safe to say
that he is one of the most bitter
Partisan members in the House. To-
day he made an attack on Mr. Howe
for -not tabling the full report on the
manufacture of guns in: Canada. This
is one of the things that the U'. K.
requested to be kept secret. The
minister saggested that he offer some-
thing constructive, instead of reading
pa rti sari 'editorials.
Mr. Gardiner closedl the discussion
with a full review of the work of reg-
istration. He said that of the 8,000,-
000 cards resulting from registration,
1,800,000 were completed for men and
women capable of working' in one of
the 1,250 specialized or reserved oc-
cupation. This list is of great aseist-
ance to the Government and industry.
Mr. Gardiner% speech was the most
interesting of the day. He referred
to theg tremendous work. created; by
untrue stories spread in the press. He
said 'he did net complain about con-
structive .criticissa but in ,all to many
cases the stories are not based on
facts and that always creates a ser-
ious problem and entails, a great deal
of work on the department's part. Mr.
Gardiner was not. through at elevem
o'clock tonight.

Friday, March 7
All of tbe time of the House was
taken up today in a further discussion
of the War' Appropriation Bill. Hon.
Mr. Gardiner continued his speecb,
giving details of what his department
of War Services hadi undertakenato do
and what they have already done.
Mr. Gardiner drew the attention of,
the House to an editorial in the Globe
and Mail of February 204a, in Which
the editor made the statement that
$202,000 had been spent by tbe War
Services Department on: 772 press re-
leases; titus each press release costs
some $262 aeeli. Mr. Gardener charg-
ed the editor with deliberate mien -
presentation at a time when the Min--
ister of Finance and loyal citizens
right across Canada were trying to
self •war savings certificates.
The facts are, of eourse, that this
expenditure of $202,000 -Covered mo-

other smaller items, but. the editorial
in the Globe and Mail stated that
$202,000 had been spent on 772 arese
releases, It i, little wonder that
Members pt the Househave so little
confidence in articles appearing in a
few of our daily papers.
Mr. Haason got quite heated and
worked up today in, regard to infor-
mation given the House. The Millie -
ter of Finance told him that this in-
formation was available for him just
as soon as he and has followers were
through reading editorials and state-
ments frompeople outside of the
House. This made Mr. Hanson shout
louder than ever. He asked the Gov-
ernment if they thought the Oppose
ban should have to pry this informa-
tion from the ministers.
Hon. Mr. Raleton. told Mr. Hanson
that last year all of the departments
had prepared statements giving a
breakdown of the - .expenditure for
each department. This required' a lot
of work and the only comment they
received from Mr. Hanson was that
it was all eye -wash. This year the
ministers gave the information in the
way that it is done in connectiOe. With
the peace-tim.e! expenditures.
ThiseBill has been before the House
on and off for some three weeks and
the end is not yet.
