These three letters, N.E.P., have been heard more in discussions both inside the House of Commons and outside in the lobbies than anything else lately, though these letters simply represent "National Emergency Powers" Aet by which the Federal Government has endeavored to con- tinue somehow and with modifications the operations of the War Measures Act by conferring certain powers upon the governor in council during the national emergency following the war. In short, as one prominent spokes- man for the Government explained it in Parliament, "The first principle has to do with the temporary distribu- tion of the legislative powers as be- tween parliament and the provincial legislatures. The second principle deals with the distribution of legisla- tive functions as between parliament and the governor in council in con- nection with temporary emergency conditions. These are two quite dif- ferent questions, but both fall to be decided as a consequence of the view which it may be proper to take of the same set of facts. Are we still in a condition of national emergency?"

Our Capital Correspondent Written exclusively for The Stratford Mirror By Dean Wilson. : OTTAWA had held its important meetings in this capital, attended by all the nine provincial premiers and representa- atives of the Federal Government, various stories were told on Parlia- ment Hill about the _ reactions of these representatives of the provincial governments to this now famous "N. E. P." Act. Though in general there seemed to be no strong opposition to certain essential continuation of anti- inflation controls, some extremely wide-sweeping powers were quite un- popular, with adjustments appearing advisable in the views of observers. Christmas -- And Home Party leaders and whips in Parlia- ment have been showing some real Christmas spirit this year in their des- perate drive to close up for the holi- days and it has been no simple nor easy assignment on account of the talkative proceedings as well as a heavy program. Now it can be told that this drive for more and more speed in Parliament has been rela- tively successful, especially since Premier King told the Parliament that some measures, such as the Citi- zenship Act, the proposed Extradition Treaty and Protocol with the United States, etc., would have to await the 1946 session . Other matters, such as the Export Credits Act and the Bret- ton Woods Financial Arrangements, etc., would be handled in this session. Then again, another story has been circulating now that, when Parliament meets in 1946, a somewhat similar effort may be made to bring about all- party co-operation in "streamlining" proceedings so that it may be possible to end the new session before it runs into the intense heat of the capital next summer.

THE STRATFORD MIRROR Capital Correspondent (Continued from page4 ) siderable interest in Ottawa about the likely effects of this situation since both countries are committed to help relieve the shortages of meat abroad. "The United States, in exporting less than five per cent. of its meat supplies, may be able to manage its program through 'set-aside' orders, without rationing, and still be able to main- tain fair distribution and fair prices," _gaid Prime. Minister King in explana- tion. "We are convinced, however, that in Canada we could not, without rationing, export between forty and fifty per cent. of our federally inspect- ed kill and maintain orderly distribu- tion and hold our price ceilings." Majority and Minority While some may argue that the ma- jority should or should not agree to set up a divorce court system in Que- bec for the convenience of the minor- ity in that province, yet this year, as in others, it is evident that opinions in Ottawa differ sharply on this matter, judging by the reactions in Parlia- ment when it gave thought to 63 di- vorce bills as approved by the Senate. A spokesman for the Government in- dicated that the suggestion that Que- bec divorces should be handled by the Those Old Shoes May last a long time after we have repaired them.

Likewise, a French-Cana- dian Minister of the Cabinet declared that it might be unwise for Parlia- ment to impose a divorce court on Quebec Province since it would be re- pugnant to the majority of the people of that old province because of their well-known views against divorce.
