Under this man’s direction, I presume, or through his influence, a syndicate of some kind was'organized here in the city of Ottawa.

In the meantime it was learned that the Isenberg claim had practically been acquired by a group of Ottawa politicians closely allied to the government. Nothing could he done until Parliament met. Sen- ator Pope brought this to the atten- 'tion of parliament and registered a strong protest against the alienati: n at this prOperty and the \iolation of the government’s pledge. Senator Uandurand. on March 9, brought into parliament a bill to do what the Conservatives had requested the previous session, but admitted that it was too late for this legislation to be effective if the claimants won their case in court. It was also dis- covered that in January previous the government by order-in-council had considerably strengthened the claim of the Ottawa politicians in their raid on our resources. Senat- or Bradbury in this exposure was very eflective : After the change of government an appeal to the Privy Council on behalf of one Paulson was success- ful and the cancellation of leases numbering nearly 20,000, extending over many years. was found illegal. Last session. to remedy this. the government introduced a hill in the Senate. There the Conservative Senators proposed that in addition to this there should he a clause ln- serted whereby the Hoppe leases could not he alienated from the. Crown except by Parliament. This the government refused, but gave a pledge that they would be conserved for the nation. Aftor an inquiry in the Svnato. Hon.

Mr. Bradbury: What I am going to say is that, in View of the. men who are exploiting the situa- tion to-day, in View of the great. number of rumors that are being circulated. this House owes it to itself to appoint a special commit- tee in order to atl'ord an opportunity to clear the names of public men that have been associated with those men on the street.

My honor- able friend asks, why should they be refused a fiat? I say there has not been a case in my eXperience in which they would be so thoroughly justified in refusing a flat as in this case. Continuing he made other state- ments even more damaging and again referred in these terms to the value of the property and the m1- mors concerning its alienation: “Hon.

Senator Bradbury 'gave a history of the famous conference between representatives of the Senate and Commons last session on this ques- tion. He told how the Conservatives had urged on the government to pro- teet. the public and he made this startling statement, : “Now. honorable gentlemen, this is a serious question, outside of the real value of these coal areas and outside of the fact that this Cham- ber owes to the country the duty of protecting the domain of Canada from the exploitation of men who are ready to take advantage of cir- cumstances in order to obtain a great deal of very easy money." . “To my mind, the gentlemen who, as I have already said, have assi- ciated themselves together in this syndicate, deserve absolutely no sympathy from Parliament. They have in no way contributed to the exploration of those lands. They are simply a number of young men Who think they see an Opportunity of clearing up a lot of wry easy money.
