Send your “That’s fine,” said my friend. “But you don’t seem excited,” the senator complained. “Surely, I’m excited. You wanted it. and I am glad you are to have it. It’s a great office.

The Senate attracts full galleries. a large and formidable press representation andtheheadiinesinthedailypapers. It has become the Upper Chamber in truth. And the cause? Beauhamoisl A Senate Committee has been studying the great power scandal, seeking to find ‘ to what degree the three Senators, Mc- Dougald, Haydon and Raymond, were responsible for the looting of the pub-l lic purse, or, to be more accurate, to‘ what extent they used their high posi-. tions as Senators of the Dominion of Canada to assist in the giving to pri- vate interests the valuable power re-‘ sources of the St. Lawrence which should have been retained for the people of Canada as a whole; they be- ing part of the private concern which benentted at the peeple’s expense. Even Beauharnois might not have made the Senate the centre of interest had not the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen been the prosecutor. He is presumably the Crown Attorney. but actually the tgleeful Tory partisan, exulting in his .traditional enemies’ downfall. After a tedious presentation of the} Committee’s report by Senator Tanner, the Rt. Hon. George P. Graham upheld his three colleagues in an impassioned speech. With his eloquence and wit he sought to defend his friends from the deadly attack of the enemy. Senator Graham objected to an investigation into the conduct of any member of the Senate on a charge made by a member of the House of Commons; he sought thus to rally all the Senators to the defense of their own members. He con- demned any self-righteous attitude by any party on the question of campaign funds, stating that they were legitimate and necessary and all parties needed them and collected them. It was, then, he said, only hypocrisy to deny the fact. Particularly in his defense of Sen- ator Haydon, Mr. Graham pleaded with his heart; this was his associate for [long years, the custodian of the party ifunds, his friend. “By birth, instinct, [training, education and practice, he is Ia gentleman,” he said. Senator Graham resented the insin- uation made by Senator Tanner that Andrew Haydon was not as sick as he pretended to be. So sick was he that Senator Graham felt ashamed, he said, to be one of the Committee who went to his house to examine him under oath. The charity and sympathy of all Senators should surround their col- league. He concluded with the words: “I reiterate my belief that I am as much a custodian of the honor and in- tegrity of this House as any member in it. but I cannot condone the c« demning of my colleagues, who, think. are not guilty under the A And then Meighen rose; the same Meighen we had known in the Com- mons. Not quite so light, not quite so bitter, but as able Meighen the inim- itable, the incomparable. With all dates and figures accurate (though without notes) and with just the right material gathered around each date and figure, clearing up perfectly as he went, never} having to retrace, he relentlessly pur- sued the condemned Senators; not the Ithree, Senator Raymond being from Quebec was handled with gloves on, but the other two. At the conclusion of three hours of perfect public speaking, they were as worms in the dust, and it would be a brave listener indeed who would rise and say “These are my Miss Macplnil’s Letter friends.” Senator Meighen said that Senator Graham had not dealt with the essence of the report but only with the exter- nels, “The fleas and insects surround- ing the problem." He then gave a min- ute resume of the flnanciel history of Beauhamols, from its original syndi- cate stage to the present. Its chum:- was secured from the Quebec Legis- lature, but its plans necessitated sppro- val by the Dominion. “The eflorts of Mr. Sweeney and his associates,” pro- ceeded Senator Meighen, “in securing approval of these plans constitute the main chapter in the drama. “This is the crux of the question: did Sweezey or did he not induce others to take money for what could be noth- ing else than their political influence?" Since Mr. Sweezey. the Beauharnois President, engaged lawyers to create a prOper atmosphere, “they were not so much lawyers as perfumers." However, they were successful; the much desired Order-in-Councll being passed in 1929. After gently diaposlng of Raymond, Mr. Meiehen devoted himself to Sena- tor Haydon. He was not, he said, go- ing to compete with Senator Graham in eulogizing Senator Haydon. Senator a spare tire." He then proceeded to show that Senator Haydon had received a retaining tee of $50,000 from Mr. Sweezey, {contingent on the approval of Mr. Sweeney’s application to the Gov- ernment for ntiflcation of his St. Law- renceplan.Notonlydidtheflrmof waiver-in, Haydon and Ebbs, receive inherent. facts tell nanâ€"and they are more powerful than opinions or m. merits of witnesses-the basic. out. Metghen, “scream against Scatter my. Meiehen took some time to establish the apparent fact that Senator McDou- said was, in all probability, the owner of what is called the Bitten shares, on that date. He did not hold the shares' himself. The late Winfield Sitton, act- ing for Mr. Sweeney, asked Clare Hoy- er, a lawyer in Ottawa to act as trus- tee for 800 shares or the Beauharnois syndicate. He wanted Meyer to go to New York with him. This he did and in New York Sifton gave Mayer $15,000 in 'bills, which were placed on deposit in the Wall Street branch of the Bank »of Nova Scotia. Five days later, Mr. Meighen pointed out, Clare Meyer is- sued his cheque in Montreal for the entire deposit. Mr. Meighen stressed the secrecy that surrounded these transactions, the trip to New York, the payment in bills instead of cheques. There was still another trip to New York when the remaining price of the shares was paid over, this time in drafts which were so fashioned that the payer could not be identified. “Why were all the shades down and all the lights Out?” Senator Meighen asked. had said in the Senate tut he was not He then proceeded to deal with the value of the Sterling Industrial Cor- poration; this you will remember, was the corporation organized by McDoug- aid and Henry, which Sweezey brought out for a million dollars, simply to get it out of the way and win the good- will of McDougald' and Henry.
