It read as follows : ‘ "This House views with grave conâ€" wern the startling increases of exâ€" venditure proposed by the governâ€" ment for the purposes of national arâ€" mament, in contrast with the inadeâ€" quate provision for the social securiâ€" ty of all sections of the Canadian Mr. Dunning introduced a motion to amend the Old Age Pensions Act so as to include blind persons, but no details were given. At the beginning 0oL the SesSMW!n,. three da;s: Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are set aside for private members, who, by way of resolutions, introduce matters of importance _ to them. It is quite noticeable, over a period of years, that such resoludions are the forerunners of legislation . True, the legislation i# often many years behind the resolution . And, when it does come, it is almost inâ€" ‘vnrhbly brought down by a party or ‘u group pther than the one who first introduced it. ' But now, after the session has been going a little over a month, private lmembem' day is reduced to Wednesâ€" ‘day afternoon. Tommy Church used the last Wednesday afternoon to disâ€" ‘cuss the need of a committee, of one or both houses of Parliament, . to: ‘study the whole question of ovor-l ‘gm'emment and overâ€"taxation and to' ‘evolve reforms which would increase Ithe efliciency as well as the swbillly‘ of governinent in Canada, and supporâ€" ted his speech with many construcâ€" | tive iMeas. Mr. Church thought that ithe estimates â€" should be carefully |disclmsed before a committee _ or | committees, with the official concernâ€" ‘ed in each department appearing beâ€" fare such formal bodies for questionâ€" ing and explanation, rather than sitâ€" !ting in front of the Minister ‘on the fioor‘, holding _ whispered . conversaâ€" tions with him, as is now the case. The committee system of _ dealing with estimates has been in use _ in Great Britain and the United States for many yearse. But official Liberals were more militant in their militarism than 1 have ever seen them. Ghastly pic tures were drawn of our plight when enemy planes cross the Atlantic â€" of the Pacific and bomb the elevators, or bombs were laid on the St. Lawâ€" rence.

Not the leader, not a back bencher, not the iieutenant, had a word to say, but they votei solidly against the MacNeil amendment. The Liberals, while not divided in _ the vote, were quite clearly divided in cpinion. _ A number of the Frenchâ€" Canadian members and Mr. Thorson of Winripeg notified the _ treasury benches that they would vote aâ€" gainst the increase when the items came before the House. Mr. Thorâ€" son made his position exceedingly clear, with the words: "It would be a mistake to let it be assumed, eithâ€" er in Canada or elsewbere, that the Liberal party of Canada is unitel on this question, for such is not _ the case ." i we have perfect freedom....1 need only refer to the proceedings of the last few days on the motion with reâ€" gard to military «xpenditure.

Mr. King closed the debate for the governing party with a long. vigcrous and very | eloquent speech. Mr. â€" Mr. Thorson, Liberal, Winnipeg, put the case well. He asked himselt why the new policy was inaugurated ,.* and found his answer in the ministe, \- ial speeches made, as follows: "To combat subversive elements in . our midst; to protect trade routes; and to repel foreign invasion." He pro. cecied to show that the naval . vote would certainly not combat | subver sive elements, and asked if the in tention was to overcome . opposing political views with an increased alr . gp force or army.. In regard to trado, Canada sells (wheat) in 99 Aifferen: countries, making the protection _ of trade routes by a couple of cruisors an impossible task. If we are to be invaded, My. Thorson wanted /% know by whom. Japan? Are we then to militarize our Pacific coast* Goâ€" mary? Then, are we to militarize ow Atlantic coast and the 8t. Lawronce River? Why, he aske, should Canada not take advantage of its geograph leal position? He pointed out that | CanaAa could not be successfully in "uded by any ration unless the Univ ‘\ed States were a consenting party. Perhaps the best speech, among many good ones, was made by Grant MacNeil, the mover. Mr. MacNoil served overseas during the war and on his return for many years served as secretary of a national veterans‘ association, so that no one in . the House is better informed on this .:a'. ter_ than ho. I wish every Canman could read his #peech. . That being impossible, here are a few sentences from it: "I sugzest that at this tme» we must take care not to _ applaud action which may disguise a messape of death for Canadian young men ..I know it has been very popular : question _ the patriotism of anyon who may speak frankly or _ plain‘ with regard to these amatters... .T true test of one‘s patriotism is four in one‘s wiliingness to serve the co: mon good.
