Itykert (North Went- worth) confined himself largely to euloglxing the Government for its war record. He dwelt on the mag- nitHent showing made by the Cana.. dian Corps overseas, speaking high- I of the glorious work done by the grpington Hospital. Dr. Itykert mo commended Hon. w. D.

It was while he was discussing the returned soldiers, and emphasizing the need of providing amply for them, that Cot. Price took " fling at the wartime proflteers. He con- demned the men who had become wealthy during the war. and men- tioned particularly Sir Joseph Fla- "he. Had protiteering been elimi- _nated at the outset there would have been trumeient money to meet the moods of the returned soldiers. Col.

Conditions were bad in the English camps, he said, and he condemned the authorities in England for por- mitting statements being sent to Can-. lda intimating that a handful of Bolshevists in the Canadian ranks had been responsible for the trouble at Rhyl.

It was for the tsicur. tpr_s_ to free.... TMr. F. Wellington Hay (North Perth) added his word of approv:1.. to the work of tho Orplngton Hos- pital. of which it had been said there was no better in Great Britain. He was not a pessimist as to the -future of the Province. True, there had been unrest when the war broke Out. and it was only natural there should be some unrest now that the confiict was over, but he felt that within a. short time exten- sive wcrks would be unuortakon by both Federal and Provincial Gov- ernments which would furnish em- ployment for those outof work. The extension of banking systems in the rural parts of the Province was favored by Mr. Hay in order that proper rural credits might ho povided to the farmers. He also favored an effective audit being made of the books of the banks in order to protect the investors. Riots No Surprise. Lieut.-Col. w. H. Price (Park- daie) at the outset appealed for a suitable reception to the 4th CM. R.'s when they return to the city to-day. Referring to the riots at Rhyl recently, the speaker said that they should occasion no surprise. Newspaper reports had given the impression to those at home that a handful of Russians in the Cana- dian forces had been preaching Bol- ahevism and that that started the trouble. Argyll House. said Col. Prive. had not shown itself capable of meeting the situation, and it had completely lost sight of the. fact that Canadian soldiers would not submit to condi- tions that the English "Tommy" would. He referred to the fact that no official statement had been promptly issued by Argyll House, dealing with the riots. although re- ports about Bolshevists were l"'r- mitted to be cabled to the news-, papers in Canada. Whether the intention had been to let the opium ion prevail that Bolshevists had been I to blame so as to shift the respon- sibility from Argyll House, he did not know. The speaker pleaded the cause of the returned soldier. urg- ing that more adequate pensions he paid and that greater opportunities be offered veterans for employment. He believed that if the Provincial Government would place itself on record in connection with the latter tho Federal authorities would act. Continuing, Col. Price said that the returned men would certainly desire an explanation as to who had been making immense profits out of the millions Canada had spent on muni- tions. He quoted figures extensively 'to show that during the war pro- lduction had increased more rapidly (than 'wages, and that production in- masing the percentage ot material While discussing the returned sol- diers, Col. Price spoke of the high cost of living which had tcevailed in Canada tor some tlme. "I had to way '68 cents a pound for bacon when I came back," he said. "and I didn't know whether to blame the U. F. O. or Sir Joseph Flavelle, but I know it was between them. I think they had better get together and clear up where these 68 cents comes in. We are not all farmers nor capitalists." he declared.
