He said it was compulsory in Australia to have 1.000 feet of British-made film in everv show. Hon. W. H. Price approved the prin- eiple of the su estion, but said the situation must met in a practi- cal way. The board of censors had reported that of pictures shown in Ontario during 1925, 9956“?“ cent were of United gates ma uaéture. The minister said that the British Government was considering sub- sidizing Brush-made pictures, and The bill to amend the l'nited church of Canada Act reached the. private bills committee on Thurs- day morning, and many prominent clergy and laymen attended the hearing. 6. W. Mason and D. J. .‘lctlarthy. K.t1.. represented the l'nited Church and ni‘m-concurrents lrespectively. The bill proposes to give to the church pmperty com- mission. created last year, mandat- ory instead of merely advisory powers. and it was shown that few of its recommenc'lations in the past. yoar have been carried out by con- gregations concerned. in respect to providing church accommodation for substantial majorities. It is also proposed to permit before next 0c- tober another vote by congregations where a vote taken has been voided: through irregularities. rather than have them go automatically into l'nion. After two hours' discussion. the committee voted down the first clause of the hill. 2'2 to ‘II. There was a general impression that the measure was thereby thrown out as far as this session is concerned, but later in the day. Hon. Mr. Nickle, chairman if the committee. explained that the remainderâ€"and the first concerns the title onlyâ€"may still he consii‘lered. and that the bill will he called again in committee next Tuesday.

The probing by Mr .Sin- clair. Harold Fisher and \V. E. Raney seems to have been almost. entirely nnprmlnctive from their standpoint. hut. has served to show that ad- ministration is satisfactory in this department. Mr. Raney on Thurs- day. cheered tip a little when he found that some road contracts in- volved larger payments than the original tenders. upon a unit basis, but was promptly reminded that un-i der the Drnry-Raney administra- tion. it was common to find “over- runs" as high as 400 per cent above the original tender. and specific in- stances were quoted to him.

When he said he saw no need of it, Premier Fergu- son said, "Hear. hear!" and added, "\Ve shall leave you here as long as possible." Later. Mr. Haney tried to draw out the prime minister further by professing to regard this as an announcement that there would he no appeal to the people until next year. and said. that this coincided with his own expectation. The premier merely said that he would make an annnum-ement’ in due course. that. if British and Canadian films were made. he would be glad to see that. they were shown. Colonel Price also referred to the work being done by the government in making films of Ontario life and mining activities, which had proved very popular in Great Britain.
