FOOTWEAR TSU Mg -- JD, O'NEILL SRE | On Prostiment Hil (Special to the Dryden Observer) OTTAWA, May 16.--Any Legislative progress made during this fourth ses- . sion of the fourteenth Parliament---and "in spite of variety of abstacles, most of which have been interposed by ths servative obstructionists. Needlessly i prolonged debates and many exhihi- : tions of unwarranted acerbity of politi- cal feeling have characterized the past three months; and yet with all this { the King Government keeps steadily : going ahead and its majorities on main divisions continue to grow. Those who , in the House are frequently guilty of mock heroics in challenging: the Prime « Minister to dissolve Parliaiment and 'appeal to the people without delay are really bluffing. The last thing they "want it an immediate election. A notable illustration of this situation i is furnished in the result of the divi- sion of the House on Thursday night, ? called on short notice, the outcome of : ¢ which was a majority for the Liberals of 77 and the placing of the Conserva- iver, as well as the Progressives, in a hopeless position. Disintegration of the Progressives 1 In the course of the main debate on { the Budget, the Progressives, follow- 'ing the introduction by Sir Henry Drayton, of an amendment of the motion of Hon. James A. Robb, to go into Committee on Ways and Means, ; submitted a sub-amendment which was £ yuled out of order by the Speaker, a { pepittion of an incident in a Eile situation two years previous. On that occason the Liberal majority was 37, with 18 Progressives supporting the Government. On Thursday afternoon John Evans, Progressive (Saskatoon! moved as an amendment to the motion for third reading of the Budget pro- posals, that mection which was peivi- . ously moved as a sub-amendment. The majority for the Government was 77, an increase of 40 over the previous Budget division, but the situation as far as the Conservatives was concerned was reversed. On the previous Budget division 18 Progressives supported the Liberals, while in the latter case 14 "voted with rhe Government. In the previous division the Conservatives voted with the Progressives, but in this latter case against them. Especi- . ally is the incensistency of the Con- . servatives shown when it is known that Sir Henry Drayton, acting leader of | the Opposition, last Thursday night, ! challenged the oGvernlment to regard this as a vote of want of confidence, "as the Prime Minister had previously suggested, and declared that the sooner ! the people of Canada had a chance to express their view of the present Gov- ernment the better. But despite of Sir Henry's challenge a very small part of the Opposition was in the House ¢ when the vote was called, many of the deliberately absenting themselvs from the vote. [ £ ¥ 1 a me CHE TY cx mE ¢ Gettin 1g Back to Two-Party System or excuse for precipitating this i some light may be thrown on it from the fact that only a few days ago, and "as a result of the main Budget division, the Western group had a real "family row" which resulted in a change of | ing substituted for J. F. Johnston .This i would have it. The rank and file were imoensed at 18 of their number sup- , porting the Government on the main Budget vote and someone had to be punished. The punishment was inflect- ed on the Whip. But much significence is attached to the lack of results from i that action. The independents in the - pary did not stay punished, and 14 of them persisted in being "bad boys" and voting as their common sense "directed. The whole affair of the two Budget divisions has served to ac- F centuate the faet that there is really little room in Canada for three political groups in the Federal arena. i Goveriment's Position Strengthened Just before the vote was called last Thuisday, the Prime Minister said . some plain things to the House on the 'new Progressive move. " While it is prrfectly true, that the amendment whn presented .by the leader of the - Prdgressive party at the time the ; Budget was introduced could not bs ¢ discussed, there is no single affirma- {tion "or sentence of the amendment "which has not been fully discussed in the course of the long debate which took place on the Budget, the longest dehate, I think I am correct in saying, which has ever taken place in this Parliament, certainly the longest which real progress has been made--has heen As for the Progressives, their reason' second | Budget division is not clear, although : Whips, C. V. Stewart (Humboldt) be- has ever taken place on the introduc- tion of the Budget. I can only say that, under the circumstances, the motion as presented by my Hon. friend cannot be construed as other than a motion of want of confidence in the Administration. = If the amendment were to carry it would mean that the i { Government would not be able to pro- 'ceed with the business of the country for the reason that it would be pre- venting the obtaining of revenuss essential to the carrying on of the work of public administration. That is the only effect the carrying of this amend- ment could have." Then near the end of his remarks he said, "It may not have been so intended but I would ap- peal to you, Mr Speaker, as to whether that would not be the effect, if it were passed. and significence I can only say the sooner we find out whether or not the Government has the confidence of the House the better." A majority of 77 was the mandate to carry on, Legislative Progress Alarge number of legislative moves §- were taken during the week that will prove popular throughout the country. * There was on Monday the introduction by Hon. T. A. Low, Minister of Trade and Commerce, of the bill to amend the Canadian Grain Act, one of the most important subjects before the atten- tion of this Parliment. It vitally effects the Western Provinces and, to a large degree, the whole Dominion. The new Canada Grain Act will, if the amendments are approved by Parlia- ment, go far toward remedying many of the ills now suffered by the grain growers of the west. Then there was' the third reading of changes in the In- dustrial Disputes Investigation Act, in- troduced by Hon. James Murdock, Minister of Labour, these changes righting some wrongs in the original legislation and bringing about some |' adjustment n the operation of this machinery, especially after the action of the Privy Council of England- ruling as ultra vires of provincial rights the original measure. The House prompt- ly passed an amendment of the Special War Revenue Act by Hon. James A. 'Robb, Acting Minister of Finance, by which the stamp tax on any cheque receipt for money paid by a bank, money order, travellers' cheque, post office money order and postal note, shall not be payable in respect of any of the said instruments if it is for an amount not exceeding $5. An indica- tion of the continued efforts of the present Government to explore and open up new avenues of foreign trade for Canada is shown in the first read- ing of a bill, to make effective fav sored nation trade treaties with Finland and the Netherands. pe PAR GAL NS FURNITURE At the West End Second Fand Store Believing that to be the effect § - Boys Only KNICKERS--Made of Moleskin Cloth, the hardest material to wear cut, that money can buy.
