The Senate attracts full galleries, a large and formidable press represen-j tation and the headlines in the daily press. It has become the Uupper Chamber in truth. And the cause? Beauharnois! A Senate Committee has been studying the great powei scandal, seeking to find to what de- gree the three Senators, McDougald, Haydon and Raymond, were respon- sible for the looting of the public purse, or, to be more accurate, to what extent they used their high positions as Senators of the Dominion of Can- pda to assist in the giving to private interests the valuable power resourc- es of the St. Lawrence, which should have been retained for the people of Canada as a whole; they being pan of the private concern which benefit- ed at the people's expense. Even Beauharnois might not have made the Senate the centre of interest had not the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen been the prosecutor. He is presum- ably the Crown Attorney, but actually the gleeful Tory partisan, exulting in his traditional enemies' downfall. After a tedious presentation of the Committee's report by Senator Tan- ner, the Rt. Hon. George P. Graham upheld his three colleagues in an im- passioned speech. With his eloquence and wit sought to defend his friends from the deadly attack of the enemy Senator Graham objected to an In- vestigation into the conduct of any member of the Senate on a chargt by a member of the House of Com- mons; he sought thus to rally all the Senators to the defense of their own members. He condemned any self- righteous attitude of any party on the question of campaign funds, stat- ing that they were legitimate :md necessary and all parties needed them nnd collected them. It was then, ho said, only hypocrisy to deny the fn-t. Particularly in hi: defense of Senator Haydon, Mr. Graham' pleaded with his heart; this was hi.-- associate for long years, the custodian of the party funds, his friend. "Bv birth, instinct, training, education nnd practise, he is a gentleman." ho said Senator Graham resented the in- sinuation made by Senator Tanner that Andrew Havdon was not ns sick as b" protended to he. So sirk \vn> he fiat Sonntor Graham felt ashamed, hr> raid, to be one of the Committee whn wont to his house to examin* him under oath. The charitv and sympathy of all Senators should sur round their colleague Ho conclud- ed with the words: "I reiterate my heliof that I am as much a custodian THE 8TORB WITH iERVICB F. T.

And then Meighen arose; th? same Meighen we had known in the Com- mons. Not quite so slight, not quite so. bitter, but as able; Meighen tin. inimitable, the incomparable. With all dates and figures accurate (though without notes) and with just the right matter around each date and fig- ure, clearing up perfectly as he went, never having to retrace, he relent lessly pursued the condemned Scnr. tors, not the three, Senator Raymond being from Quebec, was handled with gloves on. but the other two. Az the conclusion of three houri of per- fect public speaking, they wevc a;> worms in the dust, and it would be a brave listener, indeed, who would rise and say, "These are my friends." Senator Meighen said that Senator Graham had not dealt with the es- sence of the report, but only with the externals, "the fleas and insects sur- rounding the problem." He Iher gave a minute resume of the financia' history of Beauharnois, from its or- iginal syndicate stage to the present. Its charter was secured fron the Quebec Legislature, but its plans ne- cessitated approval by the Dominion "The efforts of Mr. Sweezey and his associates," proceeded Senator Meigh en, "in securing approval of these plans constitute hte main chapter in the drama. "This is the crux ol the question: Did Sweezey, or did he not, induce others to take money for what could be nothing else than their polit : cal influence?" Since Mr. Sweezey, the Beauharnois President, engaged law- yers to create a proper atmosphere "they were not so much lawyers as perfumers." However, they were successful; the much desired Order in- Council being passed in 1929. After gently disposing of Raymond, Mr. Meighen devoted himself to Sen- ator Haydon. He was not, he sa.cl, going to compete with Senator Gra- ham in eulogizing Senator Haydon. Senator Graham had placed about l!u- condemned one's head "a halo as big as a spare tire." He then proceeded! to show that Senator Haydon had re- 1 ceivcd a retaining fee of $50,000 fromj Mr. Sweezey, contingent on the ap-, proval of Mr. Sweezey's application to the Government for ratification at, his St. Lawrenre plan. Not only did the firm of McGiverin, Haydon an 1 Ebbs, receive the $50,000, but also $15,000 a year for three years. They were being paid for getting the . Order-in-Council through, Senator Meighen charged, since the legal work [ would have been well paid with $5,- 000. "This kind if legal work is the cheapest kind. To say that they woi'ld get for it this $50,000 retainer and $15,000 for three years, is to afTront the common sense of Parlia- ment. The inherent facts tell us and they are more powerful than opiniin? or statements of witnesses the basic outstanding, protruding facts," said Mr. Meighen, "scream against Sena- tor Haydon." In April 1928, Senator McDougalil bad said in the Senate that he was- not interested in Heauharnois. Sen- ator Meighen took some time to es- tablish the apparent fact that Sena- or Mcl'ougald was, in all probability the owner of what is called the Siftor shares, on that date. He did not! hold tho shares himself. The late Winfield Sifton, acting for Mr. Sweezey, nsked Clare Meyer, a law- yer in Ottawa, to act as trustee foi 800 shares of tho Beauharnois syndi- cate. He wanted Moyer to go to New York with him. This ho did nnd in New York Sifton gave Moyer $15,000 in bills, which were placed on deposit in the Wall Street branch of the Rank of Nova Scotia. Five days later, Mr. Meighen pointed oi't, Clnrc M<iyer issued his cheque in Montreal for the entire deposit. Mr. Meighen stressed the secrecy that surrounded these transactions, tho trip to New York, tho payment in bills instead ol cheques. There wns still anothei trip to New York when the remaining price of the shares wns paid over this time in drafts, which wore so fashioned that tho payer could not be identified. "Why were all the shades down nnd all the light out?' Senator M"iirhep asked. He then proceeded to deal with thr value of the Sterling Industrial Corp oration; this, you wil N-viiember. was organized by McDougald nnd Henry which Sweezey bought out for a mill ion dollars, simply to get. it out o the wnv and win the goodwill of Me Dougald nnd Hent-v. "It wns the nuisance value of Sterling and noth \ na P l sc that Swee-rv wanted." Mr Meighen stated. McDoueald, n Sen ator of Canada, used his nuisance value to enrich himself. Has an\ member of Parliament any right t i-npitalze himself by being a nuisance? "No one hnd ever given an explan- ation oT Why there had been ssch constant concealment in the transac tiona of Senator McDoupald. Why was he constantly covering rp hie tracks? His actions showed that Senator McDougald knew his conduct to bo unworthy of a public man. It wns unfitting for it to appear in the light," said Mr. Meighen. Tn con- clns'on ho called on the Senators to vote on the merits of the question nnd no partisan bins should be allowed io fluenre any member of the Senate. Nevertheless the vote wtll he taken on strict party lines nnd I will be surprised if every Liberal Senatoi SHOES AT PRICES YOU CANNOT BEAT Mai's Work Shoes $1.98 and up Men's Oxfords $3.00 and up Women's House Shoes .....$1.25 & $1.35 Canvas Shoes with heel $1.10 Women's Fine Shoes $1.98 and up BOY'S, GIRL'S, AND CHILDREN'S SHOES A.
