Hydro Development. Premier Ferguson rose at this point to inform the House that in spite of Ottawa's unwillingness to continue the old one--third arrangeoment. his Gov-- ernment had docided to still maintain its one--third and pay it. Mr. Shiclds took a jab at The Globe for its editorial attitude on the unem-- ployment situation, claiming that the newspaper in question was. ambidex-- trous, in that its left hand never knew what its right hand did. and vice versa, and that in this matter it "played politics in a matter of life and death."

He went on to say that now, through-- out the Provincs, there were running "barrooms on wheels."

'in his election campaign, had statea that he would try and get that tax on lands in unorganized districts repealed. Dr. Poisson said that when it came to the expenditure of moneys, the Prov-- ince simply could not afford to stand still; that great public services had to be maintained, and advanced as well.

"If the Federal Government would only act to bring som> check upon them. the children resulting from them would be hcealthier, the family lifeo would be happier, and there would bz no nsed to deal with the bog>y of divorce." Mr. Singer felt that the Ontario Gov-- ernment could make even greater strides in its social welfare development pro-- gram, if the Government at Ottawa would pass some legislation to prohibit ill--advised and hasty marriages. In conclusion, he dealt with the sub-- ject of colonization in the North coun-- try. He suggested that the whole situ-- ation should be investigated by a com-- mittes of the House or by a Commis-- sion similar to that inquiring into the hospital si' 1ation. t yrare,
