There was only ane amendment, namely the one introduced by Hon. George P. Graham, Minister of Railways and Canais, who submitt- ed the bill to Par lise nent empowering the Government to instruct the Domin- ion Railway Board to equalize railway freight rates in Canada. This signal ment is the more notable when it is recalled what dire threats were made by Western Canada through its repre- sentatives in the Progressive party as to what would happen to the Govern- ment if it tampered with thz2 Crow's Nest Pass Agreement or sought in any way to abridge the vights mranted to the West by Parliament two decades 2g0. Te i : A Fair Compromise-- Most of. the leading members of the three main groups in the House ex- pressedpressed themselves on the (ues- tion and the Progressives moved two amendmients, but each time these motions were defeated on standing votes after it was made clear by Hon. Mr Graham that the proposed changes would have the effect of vitally alter- ing the purpose and scope of the bill. Throughout the debate the Liberals had both the Progressives and the Con- servatives attacking them, the former because the measure proposed to go too far, and the latter because it would not go far enough. They all agreed that equalization = of freight rates or an approach to that end was of tremen- dous value-to Canada in the interests of national unity, but at that point they separated on diverging paths, Progressives argued that while they guarantee of the preservation of the eastbound rates on grain and flour, they at the same time demanded the "retention of he present westbound eom- modity rates. The Conservatives pro- tested that if the Dominion Railway Board were to be given an absolutely free hand the entire Crow's Nest Pass Agreement should be wiped out. The position of the Liberals was that if any approach to equalization as between the different sections of the Dominion were to be achieved there must be a spirit of compromise entertained by all, and that they were assuring to the sreat grain-growing provinces the Agreement rates on the two largest items of freight movement and were also asking the West to concede the westbound commodity rates in order that the other should get a fair and equalized rate. A National View Point--- Mlustrating the necessity of some com- promise on the part of the different sections of the country if some advan- age was to be gained by all of them he Prime minister had this to say in ais contribution to thedebate: "In re- gard o allowing the maximum rates to remain with respect to grain and flour, British Columbia that the Government is not adding restrictions to the Rail- way Board under the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement, but is substracting from the guarantees which that Agreement affords the west. In other words, it is allowing part of the Agreement to ve- main, but it is taking away part. To that extent some sacrifices is being required of the middle West, but in- asmuch as the Railway Board is not # | civen a free hand, to that extent, to Be ares (Z F ishing Ch FOR THE HOME Screen Cloth.

PHO No; a1 equalize rates all over Canada, re- gardless of the maximum rates that lare being fixed for the middle west, some sacrifice is -also being required of other parts of Canada. I ask, is it possible to gain support for. any policy point and not at other points? In the 'interests of National unity, in the 'desire to bring about a policy of equalization of rates, the Government realizes that some sacrifice must be temporarily borne by each of them in order to reach the goal. sought to make that sacrifices as equal as we can as respects different parts of the country." , Restricting Hydropower Export-- Of deep interest to the Eastern half : of the Dominion was the discussion ' and the result thereof on the question of the export of power from Canada. This debate occurred on Monday, and mittee "of Supply. achievement: of the present govern- sion that they are the sole custodians, talkative in the House on the power question, seeking to create the impres- though in opposition, of the interests of the Canadian people. They have repeatedly declared against the export of power, pretending that the King Government was diliberately preparing for the dissipation and permanent alienation of Canada's electricial energy. - Following the lengthy debate the Prime Minister suggested an amendment declaring, as the view of the Government as well as of the House that no license to export power from the Dominion will be "issued by the Dominion: Governmeiit except with the approval of the provinces affected by the development. This was un- aninmoushyt carried. ; Total Estimate Howe Five 'Millions-- During the week Hon. James A. Robb, Acting: Minister of Finance, tabled the. supplementary -estimates which give additional evidence of the efforts of the Government to effect every possible economy in public ex- penditure. These supplementary estimates, together with the main estimates tabled some weeks ago, show a decrease of nearly $5,000,000 from he combined estimates of last year. Especially for Ontario there is an item of interest in the supplementaries. The sum of '$350,000 is provided to enable the Department of Customes and Excise to carry on a vigorous war against smuggling not only of ordinary merchandise, but also of liquor. The explanatory paragraph opposite the vote reads: 'Amount required to create positions and make appoint- ments of officers for the prevention of smuggling and to irvestigate reported frauds against the Revenue, notwith- standing anything contained in the Civil Service Act and the said posi- tions -and staff so appointed to- be were grateful for the Government's' sections of Canada " would point out to my friends from We have : vessels and for the purchase or hire of The , tion of smuggling 'or other offences i which demands a secrifice only at one was precipitated unexpectedly by a Conservative amendment to the motion"? of the Government to go into Coun!
