Mr. Glen (Marquette) suggested in his speech that it would be much better to have the items or the Budget discussed and .IA‘.‘ -__ ‘ The House was crowded. The galler- ies were full to the roof, and every member was in his place on the floor. One got the sensation that the Govern- ment was standing before the bar of public opinion. It was living drama. The silence with which the House heard My. Adshead was as eloquent as his ut- terance. The strain broke, and doubts Ernst, the brilliant young Conservative from Queen’s Lunenburg, and Dufl (Antigonish-Guysborough) the doughty Liberal warrior from “down east”. It is seldom the House witnesses such un- restrained party feeling. Public opin- ion in Canada is growing away from party play, and demanding attention to public business. “WW7\| and voted on one at a time, and then have the vote of approval and disap- proval or the whole Budget taken. as n the case in a bill. .

When the House resumed at 8.30 the Conservative member for West Algoma, whose constituency is largely interested in steel, eitplained why he was going to vote for the Budget. Mr. Adshead. Labour. East Calgary, ar- raigned the Government; because of his well-known friendship for the Lib- eral party, his charge was all the more telling in effect. He spoke in sorrow rather than in anger. “In fact the leaven of protection seems to have been permeating the Liberal party ever since 1911. My honorable. friends opposite at one time hated the name of protection. They despised it as something that should not be espoused by their party. but after seeing it for a while they to endure, then pity, and now we find them embracing itâ€"much to the a- musement of my friends to the light. . .

He said in part, “I believe that the duty which has been placed on Australian and New Zealand butter re- presents a short-sighted policy as far as the interests of Western Canada are concerned. It the trade returns from 1923 to 1929 are any criterion. not only do those who favour this duty de- prive themselves of the right to pro. test against tarifl duties efl’ecting their industry. but there will be no corres- ponding benefit to the producers of butter.

There were no less than three major tempests during the day and Rev. J. L. Brown (Liberal. Lisgar) was the stormy petrel in two of them. He engaged in dispute with C. H. Dickie of Nanaimo, which engagement ended - in a draw, whereupon he opened combat with Hon. R. B. Bennett. An interesting passage ensued. Rev. Mr. Brown charged the Conservatives with raising a religious issue in Saskatchewan. Hon. Mr. Bennett. in repudiating the charge. showed. for his part a copy of “L’Action Catholique". a leading Liberal period- ical of Quebec. which carried. a por- trait of Hon. Ernest Lapointe on its: front. and a cartoon of Premier Ander- son burning the separate schools of Saskatchewan on its back. That. re- marked Hon. Mr. Bennett, was: typical of the Liberal Campaign in Quebec. With the budget adapted and work commenced upon the passage of the various budget resolutions, the prospect for the close of the session by May 30th at the latest, if not by May 23rd. is bright. July 28th is still regarded as the best bet for election day. The house has before it the final re- port of the special committee on sold- iers’ pensions. It is unanimous and. while complicated, is expected to be implemented by the house in legislation with but little delay. Its main provis- ion is that in any case the soldier is to receive the benefit of the doubt. a fea- ture rejected by the Government when Mr. Bennett advocated it three years ago. The pension machinery. moreover. is radically altered by the appointment of a new tribunal of nine members. two of whom make a quorum, which is to be distributed over four sections in Can- ada. In future the Board of Pension Commissioners will have no power to refuse any applicant a pension. but; must refer all cases to which they are doubtful. to this new tribunal. of nine. by which they will be decided. There is a further appeal. court of three mem- bers established. Other features of the report are the restoration to pension of the soldiers who commuted their pension for a lump sum. this sum. of course. to be charged agai st the pen- sion to which they would. h e been en-- titled. and the provision that widows who married a returned soldier subse- quent. to the appearance of his disabil- ity. but before January lst. 1930. shall. be eligible for pension. Thq temper of the house during the proceedings which the various votes climaxed was the most interesting feat- ure of the day. It was undeniably warm. Both tensenesa upon the part of the respective parties, eager to as- sail the opposition speakers upon any vulnerable point.- and the vigor with which they jumped to the~attacl~t, told of an impatience for the actual election ‘-A .- -- _. .â€" J. vvnnvn ovuvvu. was not unexpected. It represented simply the normal margin by which the present administration, elected four years ago, rules the house. As was to _be expected. the Conservative amend- ment charging lack of confidence was also rejected on a straight political vote, while the Progressive amendment ia- voring an extension of the British pre- ference was snowed under by a vote c! 177 to 19, not, however, before it had. served its purpose of putting the agri- cultural group on record before their constituents of having associated them- selves in an effort to both lower the tarifl and. encourage British trade, pro- jects both in which their ridings are commonly supposed. to favor. parties in the Commons is to last into the general election campaign. then Canada is on the verge of witnessing a political struggle which should. be spectacular in its vigor.

They wondered why he was not arrested and convicted of criminal. libel. Certainly he said things that no reputable news- paper would have taken a chance in saying. He denounced chain stores as Upton Sinclair might denounce capital- ists in one of his novels. He named. names. He called skunks. He thrilled his audiences who expected every mo- ment to hear his broadcast interrupted by the sounds of pistol shots and 0: her lethal uproar. In the end he was ask- ed to discontinue his profanity. .Other- wise his ravings continue. The Accidental Crusader Mr. Henderson appears to have be- come a crusader against chain stores almost by accident. As told by Harry W. Schacter in The Nation, Mr. Hen- derson is the owner of an iron foundry in Shreveport. Louisana, and as an ad- junct to his business he thought it might be a good idea to have a broad- casting station. So he rigged one up. Then one - day at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce in Shreveport he heard a speaker tell how the chain stores were putting local dealers out or business. and the speech impressed him to such an extent that he invited. the speaker to repeat it from his station KWKH. He did so, and when he had finished Mr. Henderson stood know the microphone and said, “I am going to tell you what that address means. It means that these dirty, sneaking chain stores are coming into your home town and taking your money and. send- ing it out to a bunch of crooked no- account brokers in Wall Street. That's what it means." Quite a fist might be compiled or people who never would have been heard of but for radio but who now en- joy international reputations. We sug- gest at random Graham ~ McNamee: To us the comment does not seem very pregnant. But it did for Hender- son what a poem did for Byron. He woke to find himself famous. In the next few days he received literally thousands of messages from retail. dealers in all parts of the United States. They had been ruined or were in process of being ruined by the chain stores and they hailed Mr. Henderson as their deliverer. He also received abusive communications. The total ei‘- fect was to set Mr. Henderson in fire with a kind of holy zeal. The exter- mination of the chain stores became thereafter his consuming passion. But not his only consuming passion. He has two or three. For instance. he contin- ues to sell. foundry products and also he has established an extremely profitable side line in the sale of coffee at a dollar a pound. For this coffee Mr. Bender-- ison pays 40c and it is said that he re- ceives orders for 1,500 pounds a day. In fact Mr. Henderson is rapidly building? up a. fortune mainly because he hap- pened to have discovered the grievance of tens of thousands of little merchants all over the United. States.

He hm won fame because he owns a broadcasting station and because in his broadcasts he indulged in language which thou- sands of his listeners would be glad to pretend thay had. never heard before. HENDERSON, THE ANNOUNCER WHO ‘ HATES CHAIN STORES From merely denouncing the chain stores over the radio Mr. Henderson proceeded. actively to organize the op- position to them He has established. what he calls 110 Merchants' Minute Men. All that is necessary for memberâ€" ship is to pay Mr. Henderson $12 a for NATIVE INDIANS ARREST RIOTINC- CCUNTRYMEN be a skunk hide that will know that something has happened to it. This too strikes us as rather vague and inde- finite and is hardly to be compared With the more directly libellous Obscenities of Mr. Henderson before the govern- ment curbed him. It might be said that the government seemed to con- template closing down his station but such a storm of protest arose that the notion was abandoned. So Mr. Hender- son, selling shi anti-chain store propa- ganda. his foundry products. his' grape- fruit. his coflee. his insurance and his trips to Mexico proceeds .happily. re- joicing in the fame and prosperity that radio has brought him. the trident and the other the net. Saunders uses newspaper adverising and Henderson his faithful KWKH. A specimen of the Saunders persiflage is submitted: “You said that if I were near you. you’d spit in my face. Now listen to me Rat Henderson, whenever you think you are skunk enough to try this. let your spit spew on my face and. there’ll made a tremendous success. He was. in fact. the founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery stores. Then misfor- tune overwhelmed Clarence and his picture was removed from the gallery devoted to successful. business men. H0 is now operating a chain of stores under his own name in the south and he and Henderson have become the chief an- tagonists in this battle. The gladiators are not identically equipped.
