Senator Horner raised the sub- ject as a question of privilege. He drew attention to a newspaper ac- count of the attempt by Jeanne Mutton to enter Canada aboard the freighter Luksefjell disguised as seaman Alfred Albert Leopold Sou- demonte.

"I am sure that we all admire a struggle on the part of anyone: to achieve a purpose worthwhile, A noble effort was made by this girl to secure admittance to Can- ada but she was refused. "In view of the circumstances I for one would be perfectly willing to pay her passage over here." Citizenship Minister Harris, in- |formed of Senator Horner's offer, said he will look into the case to determine whether any further ac- tion should be taken by his de- partment.
