[Stage Direction]
Bill (No. 143) to amend the Canada Shipping Act (Mr. Hazen) was read the second time and House went into committee thereon.
Mr. HAZEN.: I explained the purpose of this Bill at the time of its introduction. The first of the two clauses which it contains is for the purpose of exempting sailing ships, fitted with ordinary gasolene engines, that are engaged partly in fishing and partly in the transportation of freight, from having to employ certificated masters or mates. Under the existing law these vessels -would be exempt if they were employed solely in fishing, but some of them are engaged for a portion of the year, say for nine months, in fishing and the balance of the year is devoted to carrying freight around the neighbourhood in which the owners live. As the law stands at present these vessels have to have certificated masters and certificated mates. They are operated in most oases by the owner, by the fisherman himself. There are not enough certificated masters and mates, even if the owners were in the position to employ men -so qualified, to serve upon these boats; and in addition to that the employment of such masters and mates would impose a bur-[DOT]den of expense upon the owner that would not be justified, considering the business in which they are engaged. The junior member for Halifax (Mr. A. K. Maclean), when I introduced this Bill, suggested that There would have to be some change in its provisions to show that these vessels should either be engaged in the .coasting trade, or in the deep sea trade. I told my hon. Triend I would look into the matter, and I find that the point raised by him was well taken. So I will ask to amend section one by inserting after the word
ships ' in the sixth line, the words,
engaged in the coastwise trade.' That will meet the objection that was well taken by my hon. friend from Halifax. I therefore move to amend the section in that respect.


Mr. OLIVER.: I am not familiar with the provisions of the Bill. But I gather from what my hon. friend has said that boats propelled by gasolene, not engaged *in fishing at any time, would require to have certificated officers?


John Douglas Hazen: Yes.


Frank Oliver: Is it reasonable that while a boat propelled by gasolene which happens to be engaged in fishing, may toe handled by officers not certificated, and boats propelled by the'same means engaged in other callings, should not be relieved from that requirement?


John Douglas Hazen: It has been thought not desirable to extend this privilege any further at the present time. There does not -seem to be any hardship -in having this requirement for boats which are regularly engaged in trade as carriers. There is no
complaint at all from the owners of such boats, because those boats, as a rule, are doing a business that enables their owners to employ a certificated master or a certificated mate. This is intended simply as a relief to those persons who are engaged in the fishing industry. It is from the standpoint of the fishermen that the -matter has been dealt with, and it has been thought not desirable to extend the privilege any further at present. If it is found that there is any hardship in applying this requirement to vessels of over 100 tons, propelled by gasolene, which are engaged wholly in trade, and I suppose there are very few of them, the matter will be dealt with at another session; but at the present time we are acting upon what was practically the recommendation of the committee of Marine and Fisheries at the last session of the House. I might say to my hon. friend (Mr. Oliver) that probably at the next session a Bill will be introduced dealing with the Merchant Shipping Act and making a very considerable number of changes in that Act. The subject which my hon. friend has presented could then be dealt with, if it was thought desirable.


Frank Oliver: Does the exemption not apply to boats over 100 tons?


John Douglas Hazen: The exemption applies to boats under 100 tons.


Frank Oliver: -Speaking particularly of the Yukon, the navigation of the Yukon river is in the hands of a monopoly. As a matter of fact a certain navigation company has full control of the navigation of that river. There might be some relief to that condition of monopoly in navigation if a small boat, propelled by gasolene, could be operated under the law. As a matter of fact, two years ago a small vessel built for the purpose of competing in traffic on the Yukon river and on its tributaries and upper waters was debarred from operating by the law as it then existed. I do not recall that that boat was propelled by gasolene, but I know that gasolene boats are in operation on the Yukon river, and I think I am safe in saying that the present provision of the law has been used as a means of preventing that kind of competition in carrying, on those streams, that otherwise would have been secured by the public. I would think, therefore, -that it would be advisable to permit of competition in carrying if it can be done without danger to the public.


John Douglas Hazen: My attention has no1! been called to the condition of affairs on the Yukon to which my hon. friend refers. The matter is certainly one for very careful consideration. If there is existing on the Yukon river a monopoly sued as my hon. friend has pointed out, and if (he

excepting boats under 100 tons that ar-operated by gasolene, from the necessity of having a certificated officer -would go towards breaking up that monopoly, the matter would certainly seem to be one calling for favouraible consideration. But I would say to my hon. friend that I would not care to amend this Bill, at so late a period in the session, without careful inquiry as to how far-reaching in its effects such a change might be, but the matter will be considered before the amendment of the Merchant Shipping Act next session.


Frank Oliver: I would like very much for the minister to take up the point that I have raised when he is considering the Bill, because there is an immense river system in the northern part of Canada where there must necessarily be a very moderate development of transportation facilities, and where it is very easy for an aggregation of capital to hold the navigation, and it is a desirable thing that there should be every facility offered for competition.


Mr. McKENZIE.: I would like to ask the minister if he has anything in this Bill to limit or name the time within which these schooners must be engaged in fishing, before they can get the benefits of the exemption. I can point out to the hon. minister where the Bill might be abused, where a schooner engaged in fishing might enjoy privileges which another schooner of the same size would not enjoy, if she were not so engaged. The owner of the former vessel might only devote a week or a fortnight to fishing and yet benefit by the provisions of the Act. I think there should be some provision for a limit of time within which the vessel must be employed in fishing before she could enjoy the benefits. i
i Mr. HAZEN. There is no provision of 'that sort in the Bill. Of course the intention of the Bill is that it shall apply to vessels that are bona fide engaged in fishing operations, or whose principal business is fishing. I may say to my hon. friend '(Mr. McKenzie) that the law has not been observed in the past. As a matter of fact there have been violations going on all the time, and it is thought not desirable to have a law on the statute books which has been so violated, and which it is impossible to enforce. It is thought better, therefore, to 'have some such provision as the Bill contains so as to make the practice legal. The amendment was asked for by a very largely signed petition from people living chiefly in the province from which my hon. friend comes. The signatures are of people in different parts of Nova Scotia, such as Westport, Tiverton. Little River, Sandy Cove and so on, small places along the coast of that province. I think good will Mr. HAZEN.
result from passing the Bill in its present form. If it is found that some amendment is necessary to guard against what my hon. fr.iend suggests, it can be done at another session of the House. It is too late now at this hour of the session to consider any changes.


Frank Oliver: What I said had reference to gasolene boats. I think it would be well for the minister, however, to take into consideration some relief with respect to the requirements, even as regards steam propelled boats of small size, for the reason that I have mentioned.
On section 2.


John Douglas Hazen: The second section, I pointed out to the House, was for the purpose of remedying what I think is a small matter, but which seems to be a hardship. At the present time if a master, a mate, or a second mate loses his certificate, and evidence of that is furnished to the Department of Marine and Fisheries, another certificate is granted, but in order to get that other certificate, which practically costs the department or the government nothing, he has to pay one-half of what it costs to obtain his original certificate. For instance, in the case of a master I think the original cost is $15, and for getting another certificate he has to pay $7.50. It has been felt for a long while that this was rather a burdensome fee to exact from men whose incomes are not very large, and therefore it is provided that when a man proves to the satisfaction of the minister that he has without fault on his part, lost or been deprived of any certificate, the minister may, upon such terms and conditions as he deems fit, cause a copy or duplicate of the original certificate to 'be made out and certified as aforesaid and delivered to such master, or mate, or second mate, as the case may be. The minister can fix what he considers a fair and reasonable fee, and my disposition would be to fix that fee at the nominal sum of one dollar.
Bill reported as amended, read a third time and passed.



CANADIAN NORTHERN ALBERTA RAILWAY.

[Stage Direction]
Bill (No. 144) respecting aid towards the construction of the Canadian Northern Alberta railway-Mr. White (Leeds)-read a second time and House went into committee thereon.
Mr. WHITE (Leeds).: When the resolutions upon which this Bill is founded were under consideration by the committee, I made a rather full statement as to the necessity for the legislation, which statement

was concurred in by the hon. member for South Renfrew (Mr. Graham). I think it unnecessary to add anything to what I stated on that occasion, so far as giving [DOT]information to the House is concerned. I therefore suggest that we take up the Bill clause by clause.
Bill reported, read the third time and passed.



YUKON ACT AMENDMENT.

[Stage Direction]
Bill (No. 123) to amend the Yukon Act (Mr. Doherty) was read the second time and House went into committee thereon.
On section 11___Territorial court.
Mr. BORDEN.: The reasons for this Bill were explained fully by the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty) upon the resolution which preceded the introduction. If there is any information I can give I should be pleased to give it.


Mr. LEMIEUX.: The right hon. gentleman (Mr. Borden) is right in saying that information as to the Bill was given by the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty)* The only suggestion I have to offer relates to one of the judges affected by this Bill.
I have not the honour of the acquaintance of Mr. Justice Craig, but I know him by reputation as a well qualified judge. But I have the pleasure of knowing Mr. Justice Dugas. I see by the Orders of the Day that resolutions will be introduced to-morrow with a view to increasing the number of judges in the province of Quebec and to provide $5,000 a year for the new Superior Court judgeship. I do not know in what district the new judge will be appointed, but I suppose it will be the new district of 'Montcalm. But I know that Judge Dugas, after years of successful practice-at the bar, was appointed judge of the Police Court in Montreal. He is highly qualified to fill any of the positions now vacant in the judiciary of Quebec. If Judge Dugas is in good health, as I hope he is, I think the government could avail itself of his services instead of appointing a new judge. The amount to be paid Justice Dugas under this Bill, $5,000, would be exactly the salary of the new judgeship in Quebec. Mr. Justice Dugas is not an old man by any means, but is full of life, a man of high qualifications and one who was quite eminent as a practising lawe-r. My suggestion, of course, is subject to the limitation I have indicated-that Judge Dugas' health is not impaired.


Robert Laird Borden: I do not propose that the Bill shall be read the third time at this sitting, but that, if passed by the committee it shall stand until the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty) is able to be present. He will probably be here during the
course of the forenoon sitting. I appreciate what my hon. friend (Mr. Lemieux) has said. The attention of the Minister of Justice will be called to it.
On section 2-Court of Appeal.


Robert Laird Borden: I will explain to my right hon. friend just what the position is. This section repeals sections 46, 47 and 48 of the Yukon Act, chapter 63, Revised Statutes of 1896. These sections are as follows:
46.	The territorial court shall sit in. banc at such times and places as the commissioner appoints, and the sittings thereof may be adjourned from time to -time as may be necessary.
Of course, if the number of judges is reduced to one there can be no sitting in banc.
47.	At such sittings the court may hear and dispose of motions for new trials, appeals and motions in the nature of appeals, and any other business or matter within the jurisdiction of the court.
As the court can no longer sit in banc, it is obvious that section requires to be repealed.
48.	Two judges shall constitute a quorum of the court in banc; Provided that, where there are only two judges sitting upon an appeal the trial judge or the judge from whose decision the appeal is -taken, shall not be one of them.
The same consideration which I have just mentioned applies also to this section. Then, as there is to be no court sitting in banc in the Yukon Territory, it is necessary to make provision for an appeal from the judge, and the proposal of the Minister of Justice, as embodied in this Bill, is that the court of appeal of British Columbia should be constituted as the court of appeal from the judge of the Yukon Territory. This section and the various subsections thereof contain the necessary -provisions for that purpose.
On section 4,


Robert Laird Borden: Inasmuch as the terri- . torial court will no longer sit in banc, the amendment which is embodied in this section seems to be necessary. That amendment gives an appeal in all cases from the territorial court to the Supreme Court of Canada.


Sir WILFRID LAURIER.: Directly to the -Supreme Court, passing by the Court of Appeal of British Columbia.


Robert Laird Borden: My right hon. friend will observe that the judgment of the territorial court sitting in banc was final and conclusive if that court was unanimous;
I but if the court was not unanimous, then

there was to be an appeal direct to the Supreme Court of Canada. As the court may be reduced to one judge under this statute, the appeal is given in all cases.


Wilfrid Laurier: In this section you do not go to the Court of Appeal of British Columbia, but directly to the Supreme Court of Canada. There may be some reason for it, which I would like to know. So far you have made the anpeal from the territorial court to the Court of Appeal of British Columbia. Now, you pass directly from the territorial court to the Supreme Court of Canada, passing by the Court of Appeal of British Columbia.


Robert Laird Borden: I observe that. I really do not know just what consideration influenced the Minister of Justice in that regard. I will be glad to let that section stand.


Wilfrid Laurier: I would like to know; there may be some reason for it.


Robert Laird Borden: I think the inquiry of the right hon. gentleman is very pertinent. I have not consulted the Minister of Jus-tive with regard to that, and I cannot state what his view was when he drew up that amendment.
Progress reported.



SALARIES OF JUDGES.

[Stage Direction]
House went into committee to consider the following proposed resolution:
Resolved, That it is expedient to amend the Judges Act, and to provide as follows:
For an assistant judge of the Exchequer Court of Canada, at a salary of $6,000 per annum.
For two additional judges of the High Court of Justice for Ontario at a salary of $7,000 each per annum.
To increase the salary of the judge for the district of Montmagny to $7,000 per annum.
For an additional puisne judge of the Superior Court of the province of Quebec at a salary of $5,000 per annum.
For an additional puisne judge of the Court of Appeal for Manitoba, at a salary of $7,000 per annum.
For an additional puisne judge of the Court of King's Bench of the province of Manitoba at a salary of $6,000 per annum.
For an additional puisne judge of the supreme Court of Alberta, at a salary of $6,000 per annum.
For an additional district court judge of the province of Saskatchewan at a salary of $2,500 per annum during the first three years of service; and after three years of service at a salary of $3 000 per annum.
For two additional district court judges of the province of Alberta at a salary of $2,500 each per annum during the first three years of service; and after three years of service at a salary of $3,000 each per annum.-Mr. Doherty.
Robert Laird Borden: 


Wilfrid Laurier: Mr. Chairman, this is rather a comprehensive motion. I have no doubt that some of its dispositions are quite necessary. 1 suppose there can be no objection to the additional judges in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan where the business has certainly largely increased. I am not so sure about some of the other proposals. I presume that my right hon. friend the Prime Minister (Mr. Borden) is not in a position today to give all the information which it would be valuable to have when we come to discuss the Bill, and I would suggest that it would be advisable to ask the Minister of Justice to give statistics about the work in the court of exchequer to justify the appointment of an additional judge. Then, the judge of the district of Montmagny is going to receive an addition to his salary of $2,000. I do not think that the judge of the district of Montmagny is very much overworked, if he is workeii at all, and, therefore, it would be well to get some statistics of the work that he has to do te justify this increase. I am not pressing the question to-day, but I would like my right hon. friend to get the statistics for the second reading of the Bill.


Mr. BEL  AND@: I might remark that the judge of the district of Montmagny also attends to the judicial business of the district of Beauce.


Wilfrid Laurier: Yes, I know.


Mr. BELAND.: In the district of Beauce there has been a great increase in the judicial business in the last ten years. I do not say that it would be sufficient to warrant an increase in salary, but I want to make this statement to the House. There is an important increase in the judicial business of the district of Beauce itself, but as to Montmagny I am not in a position to speak


Robert Laird Borden: I have understood from the Minister of Justice that in respect of the proposals embodied in this resolution, provincial legislation has been passed, with the -exception of the two provisions which my right hon. friend (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) has mentioned. As far as the judge of the exchequer court is concerned,
I will ask the Minister of Justice to get the information. As far as the judge of the district of Montmagny is concerned, I had understood from the Minister of Justice, in discussing the matter with him, just what the hon. member for Beauce (Mr. Beland) has mentioned, that the judge presides over what is really equivalent to two districts, and does a very large amount of work. However, I shall ask the Minister of Justice -sHth respect to that. And he will be prepared to give the information which my right hon. friend has asked for.


Mr. CARVELL.: Before this resolution passes, I would like to call the attention of the right hon. Prime Minister (Mr. Borden) to the fact that there is no provision here for dealing with the case of the county court judges of the maritime provinces. I would ask him to bring the matter to the attention of the Minister of Justice. Wouid it not be well to take into consideration the possibility of making some provision to increase the salaries of the county court judges in the maritime provinces? The reason that I mention the maritime provinces especially is, that, as I understand it, there is a great difference between the position occupied by county court judges in the maritime provinces and that occupied by county court judges in Ontario.' In Ontario there are two judges in very many counties, and in a few instances only one. One judge who looks after the more important business while the other takes the district court business. In the province of Quebec the district court judge, 'as I understand it, has about the same jurisdiction and powers as the county court judges in the maritime provinces, and the only difference is that while in the maritime provinces the county court judge receives a salary of $3,000, in Quebec a man doing the same work gets $5,000 a year, and to-day we have a proposition here to give one of them $7,000. I do not say that the judges in the maritime provinces are overworked. I think that perhaps, with the *exception of the judges in Halifax and St. John, they could do twice as much work as they are doing to-day. It is not reasonable to expect a man, who occupies a high position at the bar of his native province, to take a county court judgeship at the small salary of $3,000 a year, it seems to me that a man who is sufficiently competent to discharge the duties of a county court judge in the maritime provinces is entitled to a good deal more than that salary. You can hardly find an official in Ottawa, in the ordinary civil service, doing merely clerical duties of any importance who is not receiving $3,000 a year. The county court judge is excluded from taking part in any of the ordinary affairs of life; he is not supposed to augment his income from any commercial or professional pursuit and so he has practically to live on $3,000 a year unless he happens to have a private income. I do not think any of the county court judges would object to have additional duties imposed upon them, and while I do not expect the Prime Minister to give any promise today, I would ask him to bring the matter to the attention of the Minister of Justice in the hope that the county court judges may obtain that increase in salary to which they are entitled.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I have much pleasure in supporting the suggestions made by the
hon. member (Mr. Carvell). I trust that the Prime Minister, when he is considering the claims of the county court judges of the maritime provinces, wiil remember that the jurisdiction of the county court is very much wider now than it was in 1876 when these courts were created. In 1876 the county court judges, in IN ova Scotia at all events, had no criminal jurisdiction except appeals from magistrates, but at the present day every criminal offence except the nigh crimes such as murder, can, with the consent of the accused, be tried in the county courts, and thousands of such cases are so tried. Then, when the county courts were created, the jurisdiction was only limited to $400 in civil cases, but it has now been extended in Nova Scotia to $800 so that a very large civil business is conducted in these courts. In Nova Scotia, the Lien Act has been extended and the county court judge has exclusive jurisdiction under it, no matter how large the amount that may be involved, which goes further to show that the county court judge is expected to have a good grasp of the law and of business matters. Then again, as an evidence of t'he extended jurisdiction of the. county court, when that court was created we had no Judicature Act and the passage of that Act has involved a very large extension of the jurisdiction on the county court judges. In the city of 'Sydney a large volume of civil business is conducted before the county court judge as master of the Supreme Court, and so his work is very much greater than it was when the court was constituted. Again, a few years ago, the Railway Act was amended, to extend the jurisdiction of the county courts along the Intercolonial Railway to deal with cases arising between the government and individuals respecting damages caused on the I.C.R. As was pointed out by the hon. member for Carleton, the business as to law and fact dealt with in' a county court requires from the judge as good talent as it is to be found in the (legal) profession anywhere. Speaking with more definite knowledge of the county of *Cape Breton I can say to the Prime *Minister with positive certainty that the judge of the county court is engaged every single day in the year, [DOT]except Sunday, with criminal cases, civil cases, and Supreme Court cases. Last summer there was some unfortunate litigation arising out of the strike, and in connection with it three or four thousand ejectments had to be tried before him, which kept him continuously at work. Of course, we hope that a circumstance of that kind will not arise again. But, even without that, the population is large and the litigation is increasing every day. We have a competent county court judge there in whom the people have confidence, and they find it convenient to go to his court rather

than wait for the sittings of the Supreme Court. The county court judge starts with a salary of $2,500 a year and the maximum is $3,000 so that if it is necessary to give some judges $6,000 and $7,000-and I do not think it is at all too much-the government will understand that $3,000 is _ infinitely too small for a judge to maintain the dignity of his office. It is highly in the interests of the community that our judges should be well paid and that the county court judges should be as nearly as possible placed in the same independent position as the judges of the Superior Courts. I commend to the Prime Minister what has been so well said by the hon. member for Car-leton, N.B.


Mr. KYTE.: I desire to supplement _ the observations made by my hon. friend from North Cape Breton (Mr. McKenzie) in support of the increase in the salaries of county court judges. I more particularly have reference to the county court judge in District No. 7, province of Nova Scotia, which includes the city of Sydney and three of the counties of the island of Cape Breton. The jurisdiction of the county court judge of that district extends over a population of 120,000 and it is by far the largest constituency that any county court judge has in the province of Nova Scotia or in the maritime provinces so far as I am aware. My hon. friend (Mr. McKenzie) has spoken of the enormous amount of business that the county court judge there has to do, and 1 may point out that that business is increasing all the time. There is no resident judge of the Supreme Court in that part of the province of Nova Scotia, and a large number of matters that are dealt with by Supreme Court judges in other parts of the maritime provinces have to come before him. Some years ago there was a re-adjustment of the salaries of the county court judges of the Dominion, and I think it was intended that special consideration should be given to the salary of the county court judge resident in the city of Sydney. For some reason or other the consideration to which he was entitled was overlooked, and the salary which was intended to be given to him equal to the salary of the county court judge of Halifax, was not apportioned to him. Apart altogether from the question whether or not the Prime Minister is disposed to consider the whole matter of increasing the salaries of the county court judges of the maritime provinces, I think the case of the county court judge of district No. 7 in Nova Scotia' is entitled to special _ consideration and should be specially dealt with.


Mr. KNOWLES.: My hon. friends from the maritime provinces, who have spoken ,of the propriety of increasing the salaries Mr. McKenzie.
of the district court judges have undoubtedly made out a strong case. Every argument they have submitted applies to the judges of the province from where I come. If it is their duty to speak on behalf of the county court bench in their province, much more is it the duty of the representatives of the province of Saskatchewan to call attention to the remuneration of the district court judges in that province. At present the salaries, paid1 to judges in the west are the same as those paid in Nova Scotia. Eveln if it is a debatable point whether or not salaries in Nova Scotia should be increased, that fact makes it almost conclusive that they should be raised in Saskatchewan. As every body knows, the cost of living and raising a family, and all the expenses to which a judge is put in order to maintaiji his position, socially and otherwise, are much greater in the west than in the east. It is an anomaly that judges in the western provinces are not paid higher salaries, and a very generous increase should be given to them, especially in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. Another point to be remembered is that the practice of the bar in the western provinces is much more remunerative than it is in Nova Scotia. The members of the legal profession in the province of Saskatchewan, as a rule, earn twice as much as they do in some of the older provinces by the sea. For that reason, as well as because of the greater expense of living, a larger remuneration should be given the judges. In the province of Saskatchewan we have a splendid district court bench. It is occupied by men who have gone on the bench desiring to make good and' who have made good, and I think their services should be generously recognized by the government. With Tegard to the paragraph in this resolution in which provision is made for an additional district court judge of the province of Saskatchewan at the salary named, it goes without saying that he must be a junior judge, because there are eight districts in the province, and1 all are filled at present. I quite approve of this provision, because some of our judges are at present overworked. In my own district, the judicial district of Moosejaw, Judge Ouseley, a very able and diligent judge, is at present doing three men's work. Is the Prime Minister able to tell me in what district it is proposed to place this additional judge?


Robert Laird Borden: I regrei that I cannot give my hon. friend the information. In respect to all the provisions for increasing the number of judges in the different provinces, I understand that this legislation is brought forward in order to supplement

and make effective provincial legislation. My hon. friend is entitled to the information, and1 I will' see that it is furnished to him on the second reading of the Bill or when it is in committee. In regard to the general question which has been referred to by hon. gentlemen who have spoken, I am not prepared to make any statement to-day. The subject has not received any consideration, but I appreciate what has been said, and I will see that the attention of the Minister of Justice is directed to it. The situation with regard to the appointment and remuneration of jud'ges is not free from difficulty under our federal system. That difficulty has made itself manifest on many occasions ever since confederation. The provincial legislatures create the judicial positions, and the federal parliament is entrusted with the duty of fixing and providing for the salaries. The result of that is sometimes thought to be that we have too many jud'ges in some of the provinces, and those judges, as a result of that, have not been provided with such salaries as would be necessary for the purpose of securing the best available ability. I am not quite clear how that situation can be improved. So long as this system continues, it is very invidious for the government or the parliament of Canada to sit as a court of appeal from the unanimous vote of a provincial legislature which declares that these judges are necessary. On the other hand, it has, been thought on several occasions during the past 25 or 30 years that the number of judges has been increased without due consideration of some of the matters which have been mentioned here to-day. In the meantime, all I can say is that, with the two exceptions I have mentioned, this Bill is designed to supplement legislation which has been passed by the' various provinces concerned. Beyond that, I leave the Minister of Justice to make further explanations on the second reading of the Bill or in committee.


Mr. MURPHY.: Can the Prime Minister say whether any request has come from Ontario for the appointment of these two judges?


Robert Laird Borden: Yes, a request has come from the government of Ontario, and1 I think also from the Ohief Justice of, Ontario.


Mr. PROULX.: I do not believe that these tw'O judges for Ontario are needed. The legislation asking for them was passed two years ago, and the late Minister of Justice never saw any need to make the appointments. When hon. gentlemen opposite were in opposition they criticised the late government very severely for appointing judges on commissions, and yet one of 172
the first things they did after coming into power was to appoint a judge on an important commission, taking him away from his judicial work. If the judges were left to their regular work, I do not think there would be any necessity of appointing two additional high court judges. Since these two new judgeships were created, the jurisdiction of the county court has been' largely extended, that was done two years ago, in some cases from $200 to $500, and in other cases from $600 to $800, thus relieving the high court judges of certain work.
The hon. member for Moosejaw (Mr. Knowles) says that in the west they have not enough judges. I think in Ontario we have too many judges, especially on the county court bench, and the province, in my opinion could easily do away with about a dozen of them. I think there should be a conference between the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of Ontario with the object of amending the law in order to give the county court judges more work. The province should be divided into seven, eight, or ten districts and the county court judges given power to bear -appeals in banc from the county and division courts. This would be a great [DOT]convenience for the lawyers living outside Toronto. At present the lawyers of Toronto do more than half (he legal work of the province which is a great inconvenience and loss to their confreres outside who hiave to go to Toronto, except in the case of Assize and county court work. All the chamber work done before a High Court [DOT]judge	and the appeals we	have to
send the work to Toronto and divide the fees with the lawyers there, who sometimes take more than half and often more than the outside lawyers will get from their clients. If the county court judges were to hear appeals, it would cause them to brush up their legal knowledge and be a good (thing for them, and relieve the High Court judges of a large amount of work. I would also (suggest to the Prime Minister that be -amend the Judges Act by obliging the county court judges to live in the county town. At present these judges have to live in the district in which they are appointed, but they do not always obey even tnat requirement. We have two judges for the county of Prescott and Russell, a junior and senior judge, but neither lives jn the -county town. The junior judge 'obeys the law by living in the district, about ten miles -from the county town, but -the com-plaint is made by the legal profession that -sometimes two or three iw-eeks elapse without their ise-eing a judge in the county town. In January -last division court w-as to -be held there hut no judge came; the senior judge was to hold the sittings there but he did not arrive. There is not



enough work in the county of Prescott and Bussell for one judge, yet we have two judges, and it is about the worst served district in the province. I would therefore suggest that the law be amended so as to make the judges reside in the county town, more especially when there is only one judge for the district. If there are two judges such a requirement is not necessary; the senior judge could toe made to reside there, and the" junior judge elsewhere in the county. In my district the majority of the lawyers live in the county town where most of the legal work is done. The High Court judges of Ontario have to live in Toronto or within a radius of five miles of that city. I think the same law should be made to apply to the county court judges, who should either be compelled to live in the county town or within a few miles of it.


Robert Laird Borden: I will draw the attention of the Minister of Justice to what my hon. friend has suggested. So far as the judges in Ontario are concerned, I understand that the legislation was passed unanimously by the legislature of Ontario, and that the government, including the Attorney General, had asked for the appointment of these judges. However, full information will be given on the second reading of the Bill.
Resolutions reported, read the second time and agreed to.
Mr. BORDEN moved for leave to introduce Bill (No. 156) to amend the Judges Act.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.

[Stage Direction]
Mr. WHITE (Leeds) moved that the House go into Committee of Supply.
['The reason given by the Prime Minister was that the Bill was objectionable in some respects, and he thought it should stand. I have no objection in opposing the Bill except that I think its principle is bad if not vicious, and I think the request of the Prime Minister should be complied with and the Bill allowed to stand.\nProgress reported.']
Hon. G. P. GRAHAM (South Renfrew).: Before you leave the Chair, according to the announcement that I made yesterday 1 wish to make a brief statement concerning the letting of the contract for the construction of what is known as the Quebec bridge. I take this opportunity of doing so, not on account of any criticism that has been made in this House or on this side of the water, but rather on account of comments that have been made by certain gentlemen in the old land which comments have been reproduced, and in some cases enlarged upon, in sundry newspapers in this country and in the old land as well. The only result that could accrue from these statements would be that they would somewhat impair the pleasant relations that have existed between business men in the old land and those in Canada, and it is in order to prevent any misunderstanding of the methods of the Canadian government or the Canadian people, in doing


Mr. PEOULX.: business, that I wish to place a plain statement of the circumstances concerning the letting of that contract on ' Hansard,' which I think all will agree affords a complete reply to the criticism which has been made by certain gentlemen, interested and otherwise. It might be well, Sir, in beginning to call the attention of the House, as I think I have often done before, to the fact that this undertaking is the most gigantic of its kind ever conceived by man. The next in magnitude is what is known as the Forth bridge, but it does not compare with this great project known as the Quebec bridge. Bearing this in mind, hon. gentlemen will understand how very necessary it was that every care should be exercised, and that the government should rely solely on the opinions and judgment of men trained in bridgework, the very ablest experts that could be procured throughout the world. I might say that no step was taken except with the consent of, and on the advice, of the majority of the members of the board appointed for the purpose of reconstructing this bridge. I need not remind the House that the first attempt to construct this great project failed, and a calamity, not equalled I think in our own country, connected with public works, occurred on August 29th, when the bridge, as first undertaken, became a wreck carrying with it to death a large number of workmen. On August 30th there were certain additions made to the government, and on the very next day, on the recommendation of myself as the then Minister of Railways, a board of commissioners was appointed in order to make full investigation as to the causes surrounding the calamity, also to investigate as far as possible the design, the workmanship and the material entering into this great structure. The board was appointed on August 31st, 1907, and was composed of the following:	Henry
Holgate, C.E., Montreal; J. G. G. Kerry, of Campbellford; and Prof. Galbraith, of the University of Toronto. If I remember well, Mr. Kerry had previously been connected wiith McGill University. These were very prominent gentlemen. They at once proceeded with their work. It is universally conceded their report is a contribution to scientific knowledge in bridge building of very great value. The report was in such demand that it was necessary to get a larger number printed than was at first arranged for. And if any hon. gentlemen will inquire at the library of any of the chief universities of the world, I think he will find there a copy of the report of these engineers. In the meantime the department appointed Mr. Schneider, of New York, a very prominent engineer, to make investigations into certain details, more particularly with a view to ascertaining if it were possible to accede to the wish and request of the Phoenix

Bridge Company that, as they were not allowed to reconstruct the bridge, at least a portion of the material might be used, and he made a thorough investigation, the result of which will be found in the records of the House. In the statute of 1908, that is 7-8 Edward VII., chapter 59, provision was made for taking over this work from what was known as the Quebec Bridge Company.


Mr. FOSTER (North Toronto).: Would the hon. gentleman (Mr. Graham) say with reference to the inquiry of the Phoenix Bridge Company as to whether a portion of their work might be preserved and used, does he know what the reply of the commission was on that point?


George Perry Graham: When the commissioners appointed for the reconstruction of the bridge came to make their investigation, they unanimously agreed that no part of it could be used, except for loading, as scrap-iron can be used-it could not enter into the structure. Let me read one section of this Act of 1908:
The Minister of Railways and Canals may employ engineers and cause plans and specifications to be prepared for the reconstruction and completion of the said bridge and undertaking, or for the construction of a bridge to serve the same purpose as was intended to be served by the bridge undertaken and partially completed by the said company, on the same site, or on such other site, at or near the city of Quebec, as is recommended by (9iuch engineers or a majority of them and approved of by the Governor in Council, and the minister shall apply to such work any moneys appropriated therefor by parliament, including the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars appropriated therefor in the present session of parliament.
Now, acting under that statute, on August 17, 1908, the following were appointed a board to prepare plans and reconstruct the bridge on those plans:-Mr. H. E. Vautelet, member of the Canadian Society of _ Civil Engineers, Montreal; Ralph Modjeski, Director and member American Society of Civil Engineers, Consulting Engineer, Chicago; Maurice Fitz-maurice, C.M.G., Chief Engineer of the London County Council. It will thus be seen that the selections were made from Canada, England and the United States. I may say in passing that Mr. Fitzmaurice had been associated-as a young man, of course-in the construction of the great Forth bridge. This taken in connection with the fact that he was chief engineer of the London County Council was thought to be one of the highest recommendations that could he given to any engineer. It was conceded by the engineering world that the selection of these three gentlemen was possibly the best that could be made, not only on this continent, but in the world. I wish to put on record the order 172i
in council naming these men and prescribing at least partiallv their duties. I do this because later it was contended that certain acts of theirs which I insisted should1 be performed, did not fall within the purview of their work as outlined by the order in council appointing them:
On a memorandum dated 12th August 1908, from the Minister of Railways and Canals, representing that it is necessary that measures be taken for the reconstruction by the government of the demolished work known as the Quebeo bridge, across the river St. Lawrence, authority for the taking over of which work from the Quebec Railway and Bridge Co., together with their whole undertaking, has been given by an order in council.
The minister further represents that on the consideration of the question, it would appear desirable that such reconstruction be carried out by means of a special Board acting under the Deportment of Railways and Canals, composed of three qualified persons, in whom should be vested certain duties and powers.	-
The minister, accordingly, recommends that he be authorized to appoint a Board of Engineers, to be composed as follows:-
Chairman of the Board and Chief Engineer, Henri Etienne Vautelet, member Canadian Society of Civil Engineers, consulting engineer, Montreal:	Ralph, Modjeski, director and
member of American Society of Civil Engineers, consulting eng:mei, Chicago; and Maurice Fitzmaurice, C. M.G.. Chief Engineer of the London County Council, England, their respective salaries to he as may 'be hereafter determined . It shall be the duty of the said Board to make careful examination of the existing plans, together with any modifications thereof that may be suggested, in order to ascertain whether the design shown by such plans as so modified should he adopted for the reconstruction of the bridge, so as to utilize, as far as possible, the material already provided.
The Board shall consider carefully the existing specifications, and decide whether, having regard to the conditions, they are such as are suitable to the construction of the projected work.
They shall make full examination of the piers of the bridge now constructed and of such portions of the superstructure as have been built, to ascertain their condition and sufficiency, if utilized either in whole or in part.
In the event of the Board reaching the conclusion that it would be inexpedient to adopt or to modify the existing design, they shall prepare a new design, together with a specification, workings, drawings, estimate of cost and all such things in that connection necessary as preliminary to proceeding with the work and submit the same to the Department of Railways and Canals for its action thereon.
It is intended that the entire responsibility for the design and for the reconstruction of the work shall rest with the Board alone.
The head office of the Board shall he in the city of Quebec.
The chief engineer of the Board shall have

power to appoint from time to time suc-h tecn-nical, clerical and other assistants as may be required, and at suoh salaries as may be authorized by the Governor General in Council, on his recommendation, made through the Minister of Railways and Canals.
In the event of serious differences of opinion arising between the members of the Board as to the scheme for reconstruction or any of its details, the Board shall call in eminent bridge engineers, not more than two in number, for the purpose of advising on the points of different, who, with the members of the Board, shall settle the question at issue.
The Board shall furnish monthly to the Minister of Railways and Canals a report showing the prograss of the work, and the expenditure thereon; also such other reports as he may, from time to time, require from them in that connection.
Payments for work done and materials delivered and of office-staff pay-lists and accounts, will be made by the Department of Railways and Canals, only on certificates to he-issued by the Chief Engineer of the Board, and after audit by the department. The accounts and books of the Board shall be at all times open for inspection by the departmental auditor.
The Committee submit the same for approval.

Clerk of the Privy Counoil.
Now, Sir, that board was appointed, and they began their work, Degan studies in various parts of the world. Mr. Vautelet went to the various points, not only on this continent hut in Europe, where he-thought the latest scientific information could be obtained. Their instructions were that the first necessity for the reconstruction of this bridge should be its stability; the second was its cost; and the third was the time in which it should be constructed, everybody understanding that in a work of this magnitude no hurry could be expected, and no undue haste was asked. The engineers made their studies in different parts of the world, it took them quite a long time, and at last they came to the point where they began 10 prepare a design. Now in order that the House may be well acquainted with the information received by the various companies as io the terms on which tenders would be received, I want to read an advertisement that appeared on November 24, 1909. This advertisement invited the various intending tenderers to come to the head office at Montreal and to co-operate with the board, in pursuing their studies and investigations necessary for the preparation of the plans for this great work. Allow me to read this advertisement:

[Stage Direction]
Quebec Bridge.
Tenders for superstructure.
Notice to Bridge Builders.
Contractors for bridge superstructure are Mr. GRAHAM.
invited to visit the office of the Board of Engineers in the Canadian Express Building, Montreal, Canada, after Janaury 3,	1910,
where information may he had to enable them to prepare bids for the superstructure of a 1758 feet span bridge, 88 feet in width.
Bids will be received on the specification and for the design shown on the plans as prepared by the Board.	.
The contractor is invited to submit alternative designs which must conform to the conditions laid down in the general specification.
Bv Order,

[Stage Direction]
' Secretary.
Every contractor had that advertisement, and every intending tenderer visited the office of the Quebec Bridge Board and made his own investigations. Now differences did arise between the engineers, just as differences arise between strong men on many points; and it may not be out of place to say that the stronger the men, sometimes, the more intense the differences. The engineers differed largely, so far as I could ascertain, on the principles of the double intersection and the single intersection for the construction of the bridge. A portion of the board contended that the design should be on the double intersection principle, and another portion contended that it should be on the single intersection principle. An hon. gentleman asks me to explain the differences. I could not explain it technically, but any one who has seen a lattice fence will hawe some idea of the difference. I will not attempt to explain the differences, they were engineering technicalities. One portion of the board insisted that with the double intersection principle you could not ascertain to such a definite point the amount of stress that would be on each member; while on the single intersection principle you could calculate to a more definite degree what stress would be on each of the members. The engineers continued to differ for some months, until at last the department said, we must come to a point where we can advertise for tenders for the construction of this bridge, and if this board of engineers cannot do it, we will have io get a board of engineers that can do it. Consequently, the board met on May 2, 1910, and they came to this arrangement as a sort of compromise. The Chairman had prepared a plan on the single intersection principle; the other members of the hoard were contending at that time for the double intersection principle, and they did not_ agree altogether with the design of the Chairman, but this compromise was arrived at in order that tenders might be invited. It is embodied in this resolution:
Copy of a resolution passed at a meeting of the hoard held May 2, 1910.
It is resolved that the plans and specifications far a cantilever design now completed be approved and submitted to the minister for

tenders, and that in the event of a better plan being submitted by any of the bidders same shall be adopted.
(Sgd.), RALPH MODJESKI. (Sgd.), H. A. VAUTELET,
Witness: (Sgd.), H. A. Campbell.
Mr. Fitzmaurice was not in this country at t'he time, but he acquiesced in that arrangement. Mark you, the board itself passed a resolution confirming what had been done before, inviting for tenders on alternate designs, and placing themselves on record that if a better design were submitted by any tenderer than the design submitted by the board that design should be adopted. Consequently, tenders were asked for. There was an advertisement inserted on Juine 17,	1910, the usual
advertisement calling for tenders for the construction of this bridge. Then a little later that time was extended in order that there could be no excuse given by any intending tenderers that they had not full time to complete their plans, after each one of them had been studying practically in the office of the boaTd of the bridge company from the time the proposition was made and the board entered upon their duties. During six months Mr. Fitzmaurice had, on one or two occasions, suggested that he be allowed to resign from the board on account of inability to be present in Canada, and on account of ill-health. For a portion of that time he was off duty on account of ill-health. On my return from the west I wrote Mr. Fitzmaurice a letter pointing out to him that-if I remember correctly the contents of that letter-the situation had reached such a point in the carrying on of this work that it would be necessary that, he should be in Canada quite frequently, at the call of the Chairman of the board, to consult on these important matters. Mr. Fitzmaurice wrote me this letter in reply:
The London County Council,
Spring Garden, London,
1st June, 1910.
Quebec Bridge.
Dear Sir,-I am obliged for your letter of the 7th ultimo. I feel quite sure that, owing to the state of my health and the impossibility of .my fixing an early date on which I could be in Canada, it is much better that my resignation from the Board of Engineers for Quebec Bridge should be accepted. I quite agree that, at the present time, it is necessary that the services of a member of the Board should he available whenever required.
I think I should also say that the acceptance of my resignation will relieve me of rather an invidious position, owing to my not being able to see eye to eye with the Chairman of the Board as regards the design for the bridge which he has prepared. I feel satisfied that this design is not the best one which could have been got out, is uneconomical, and will give rise to great difficulties
during erection. I am also of opinion that the specification on which the bridge manufacturers are to submit designs of their own is not such as will allow them to submit the most suitable design for this bridge.
This resignation, reiterated on the 1st of June, 1910, was accepted by the government in September of the same year. Following that, Mr. Charles E. Macdonald, C.E., L.L. D., now of Gananoque, a former resident of the county of Leeds, and for years a prominent engineer and bridge builder in the United States, was appointed in October; the appointment was dated on September 28.
I may say that in making this selection I consulted more particularly with Mr. Vautelet, chief engineer and Chairman of the board. There had been differences on the board and I was very anxious to get the ablest /man I could on the continent and, if possible, one that the chairman would work in harmony with and who would work in harmony with the Chairman. In other words, I wanted to get some person who had not preconceived notions on this question which had been discussed by the members of the board. After consultation with Mr. Vautelet, I went to New York and saw Mr. Macdonald. . As a result of the visit I sent for Mr. Vautelet and we talked the matter over with Mr. Macdonald, who accepted the position, much to the gratification of the Chairman and myself, 'but only accepted it until such time as the contracts should be signed. He did not care to act on the board during all the tedious work of the construction of the bridge. He is a man quite up in years, quite wealthy and does not have to work as he had in years gone by. He was appointed. He took a very active part in the work of the board and gave his best energies, intellect and judgment to the solution of the difficulty in selecting a design and the letting of the contract. After that was done he considered his work accomplished and he was allowed to resign. The tenders were asked for and received and on October 26 a report was signed by the board consisting of Charles Macdonald. Ralph Modjeski and H. E. Vautelet. That report is as follows:
Wednesday, October 26, 1910.
Sir,-Your hoard met in Montreal on Monday, October 10, 1910, to consider the plans sent by different companies for the Quebec bridge superstructure, and also copies of the tenders which had been made by the secretary of the hoard.
These copies were compared on the following day with the originals, which were brought to Montreal by an officer of your department.
A detailed statement in tabular form is enclosed.
Since that date the hoard has been in session practically continuously.
[Stage Direction]
After a careful study of the tenders received on the board's design and on alternative designs submitted, amounting in all to thirty-five different propositions, your board has eliminated, as not acceptable, all but the following:
1st. Design No. V of the hoard, with short shore arms and floating ereotion of the suspended |span on high staging, tenders on which were submitted by all four firms.
2nd. Design ' A ' of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, being different in outline from the board's design and having the top chords built of nickel steel plates throughout.
3rd. Design ' B ' of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, similar in all respects to design 4 A,' except that the top chords of the anchor arm are built of carbon steel.
4th. Design ' C ' of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, similar in all respects to ' B,' with the exception of the top chords, which are designed with eyebars, instead of plates: Classified for cost only they are as follows:
1.	British Empire Bridge Co.,
board's design 'V'..	 $11,025,566
2.	Pennsylvania Steel Co., board's
design ' V'	  11,666,751
3.	St. Lawrence Bridge Co., design
' JB *	 11,957,500
4.	St. Lawrence Bridge Co., design
'A'	 12,153,500
5.	St. Lawrence Bridge Co., design
' C '	12,216,400
6. Maechine-nfabrik	Augs-Nurn,
board's design ' V '	 13,230,050
7.	St. Lawrence Bridge Co., board's
design ' V '	 14,867,170
The cost as per specifications may be increased by 2 per cent and includes an amount of $118,500 to be paid to Messrs. M. P. & J. T. Davis for increased quantities of masonry in the anchor and short piers. The Pennsylvania Steel Company and the British Empire Bridge Company', according to their tenders, use a somewhat larger number of splices in the bottom chord than shown on the board's plan. Your board may later on recommend that their figures be slightly increased, in order to reduce the number of splices.	_
Your hoard does not consider that it is within their nrovince to report on the financial status and ability of the different contractors.
They beg, however, to submit the following notes:	.
British Empire Bridge Company, Linuted.-This is a company incorporated in Canada at a capital of $5,000,000. It was formed by the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co., Limited, of Darlington, England, and by the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company, of Wed-nesbury, England.
Our Chairman reported that he had visited the works of these companies. That the Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Company, at the time of his visit, was a modern bridge shop of about 12,000 to 16,000 tons annual capacity.
That the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company was one of the largest firms in England, and that their bridge department was composed of two large main buildings. He cou.d not judge of their equipment, as no bridge work was being done at the time of his visit.
The representative of the British Empire
Bridge Company submitted photographs show,-ing some of the bridges built by the parent companies, including a 500 feet arch over the Zambesi River at Victoria Falls, Africa.
He also stated that the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company had a capital of £1,500,000, with a reserve of £400,000 together with other reserves; that their stock was issued at £1 par value and was now selling at £3.
This company has no assets known to us except an accepted cheque for $500,000, which we assume to be in the hands of the Minister, and your board does not know if the parent companies would become parties to the contract.
The British Empire Bridge Company state that they would establish works in this country, where all parts of the bridge, except the raw material, would be manufactured.
Pennsylvania Steel Company.-This firm is considered one of the strongest in the United States and has apparently very large assets.	.
Your board bas no doubt about their ability to build the bridge and fulfill all the conditions of the contract.
It is not quite clear how much, if any, of the shop work would be done in Canada. Transportation of large members from their present shops would he very risky.
Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nurnberg A.G. -Your board does not know anything definite about this firm. It proposes to manufacture the bridge partly in Germany and partly in Canada, in connection with the Canada Foundry Company, Limited, of Toronto, in which, case the same observation about transportation would apply to a much larger extent. They also state that they may decide later on to build everything in Canada.
St. Lawrence Bridge Company, Limited.- From information given by tlieir representative, this is a company incorporated in Canada with a capital of $500,000, to be increased as need may be.
The Dominion Bridge Company and the Canadian Bridge Company each own one half the number of the shares, but neither parent company will become a party to the contract.
This company has no assets known to us except an accepted cheque for $500,000, which we assume to be in the hands of the Minister. The parent companies are very strong and very well known companies and there is no doubt about the ability of the men at their bead to carry the contract to a successful issue.
Specifications.
The Machinenfahrilc Augsburg-Nurnberg A.G. does not ask any modifications of the specifications. They only state that no nickel steel material will he longer than 53 feet, which is acceptable to the board.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company and British Empire Bridge Company discussed the specifications with the board. A complete understanding, signed in each case by the representative of the company and the members of the board, has been arrived at.
The St. Lawrence Bridge Company has asked for several modifications to the specifications. In the case of tlieir tender on the board's plans an agreement can probably be arrived at on the basis proposed, except on the question of eyebars. They propose to make further experiments on the manu-
George Perry Graham: facture of the eyebars, so as to come to an agreement with the board.
There have also been some modifications and additions to the specifications and contract form, asked for by all the bidders, such as customs duties, &c., for which your board was not qualified to act and for which the contractors have been referred to you.
Tour board is of the opinion that it is possible to construct a bridge in accordance with either of the tenders received upon the board's design ' V,' which would make a satisfactory structure.
Your board is also of the opinion that it is possible to construct a bridge in accordance with design 'A,' ' B ' and ' C ' submitted by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, which would make a satisfactory structure, providing that plans, details and material were made in accordance with the specifications of the board, including modifications allowed to other bidders.
Respectfully submitted,

H. E. VAUTELET.
Mr.  C. G.@: Graham,
Minister of Railways and Canals,
Ottawa, Ont.
That was sent to me, and as lion, gentlemen will see it gave me no definite advice as to what tender should be received by the department. It named several tenders and several designs and said any of these would make a satisfactory bridge. Considering it one of the most important parts of the duty of the board to advise the department definitely as to what de-and tender it should accept, I wrote this letter to the chairman in reply to the report of the board which I have just read:
Ottawa, 1st of November, 1910.
H. E. Vautelet, Esq., C.E.,
Chairman, Quebec Bridge Commission, Montreal.
Dear Mr. Vantclot,-X am in receipt of your letter of the 26th ultimo, containing resolution of the Board, and some very valuable information respecting the tenders, and the companies tendering in connection with the erection of the Quebec Bridge.
Tour Board says that the bridge can be constructed according to the tenders on *the Board s design No. 1, and also on designs ' A ', ' B ' and ' C ', submitted by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company.
Although the information you submit is very valuable indeed and shows great care in working out, I fear that it does not afford me sufficient data on which to make a recommendation to my colleagues. I would ask the Board, therefore, to go one step further and make a recommendation to me, as to what tender, under all the circumstances, should be accepted.
In view of the close study the Board has given this great proieot, and also taking into consideration the fact that the members agree on certain designs, I think it is not unreasonable to suppose that they ought to be able to make a unanimous recommendation
as to the tender that ought to he accepted by the government.
I note that the stock of the British Empire Bridge Company is held entirely by the Cleveland, Bridge and Engineering Co., Ltd., of Darlington, England, and the Patent Shaft and Axletree Company, of Wednesbury, England ; and that the stock of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, Dtd. is held hy the Dominion Bridge Company ' and the Canadian Bridge Company. The capital of the British Empire Bridge Company is $5,090,000, and the capital of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company is $500,000.
As you will readily understand in a gigantic enterprise of this kind, the ability of the contracting party to carry the work to completion is of vital importance.
Should the Board decide to recommend that the work he given to either of these companies I would request that you ask them to furnish the Board with an understanding that each of the parent companies holding the stock of the successful tendering company will become a party to the contract and responsible for its fulfilment.
I agree with you thoroughly that all the details ought to he settled between the successful tenderer and the Board before an announcement is made to whom the contract has been awarded because any tenderer to whom the contract may he given, refusing to sign such contract, forfeits its deposit of $500,000 now in the bands of the minister.
Allow me to thank the Board for the very careful manner in which it has gone about its work, and to express the hope that it may be able to arrive at a unanimous decision on which the minister can act with confidence.
Yours truly,
(Sgd.) GEO. P. GRAHAM.
I received in reply a report, dated Quebec, and signed by Charles Macdonald and Ralph Modjeski, two members of the board, in reply to that letter. It is as follows:
Quebec, November 3rd, 1910.
Dear Sir,-In reply to your request of the 1st November asking for a definite recommendation for the acceptance of tenders respecting the Quebec Bridge, probably it would be well to give a little history of the situation. The publio possibly do not realize the immensity of the undertaking and only members of the engineering profession can fully comprehend it. Nothing of equal magnitude has ever been attempted. Every engineer in connection with it has felt an indescribable responsibility. Under the circumstances, it is not to be wondered at, but rather is a proof of the care they have exercised that differences of opinion should have arisen as to the best method of accomplishing this task.
When the members of the Board as originally constituted first considered this great project they knew it was the greatest work ever undertaken and they endeavoured to approach it with open minds. After very careful study they discovered that their views did not coincide on some points. Part of the Board were inclined to favour the double intersection principle, similar to that adopted in the famous Forth Bridge, whale the other por-

tion felt equally convinced that double inter- section was not practical for such a structure. Studies were made along both lines, but neither party was convinced that their ideas were not the best. There being a divergence of view on the point, it was decided to advertise for tenders on the official plan prepared by the chairman and chief engineer on the single intersection principle with the mutual understanding that while tenders were asked on this design, tenderers were to be allowed to present any other design they chose, which would he fully considered by the Board on an equality with the official design.	_
This decision was embodied in a unanimous resolution of the board passed on May 2, 1910:	.
' It is resolved that the plans and specifications for a cantilever design now completed be approved and submitted to the minister for tenders and that in the event of a better plan being submitted by any of the bidders same shall be adopted/
The advertisement for tenders consequently contained a clause embodying the principle of this resolution.
A full history of the tenders received appears in our former report. It will be seen that ten tenders were received for designs other than the official design, according to the advertisement, and they were considered, as outlined in a former report.
On dose investigation of the alternative designs it was found that one, presented by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, while designed on the single intersection principle, in a very practical way met all the demands that a portion of the Board had in their minds when they favoured the double intersection principle. It certainly is an original and happy combination, which embodies to a large extent the views of the advocates of each of the principles-single and double.
As stated in our former report, a bridge could undoubtedly be constructed on the official design, and once erected would be a substantial structure, but we are of opinion that design ' B in addition to providing for a satisfactory bridge offers features which simplify the erection and minimize the risk to both life and property entailed in a work of such magnitude. This we consider of paramount importance. In addition to this we favour design 'B' for the following reasons: 1st. The numerous temporary members, sub-trusses and other connections to the permanent members involved in the official design ore all dispensed with in design ' B 2nd. The erection can proceed in a regular manner, the traveller being carried on the main members only and as it advances each operation is similar to the preceding one, which similarity greatly favours speed and safetv in construction.
3rd. There are no members in the trusses that do not carry live load with the exception of two, small struts over the centre pier.
4th. There is less distortion and secondary stress as may he seen by comparing the Wil-liot's diagrams, showing in each case the deflections of the trusses for different conditions of loading.
5th. The ' B ' design admits of comparatively Mr. GRAHAM.
small stresses in the web members, thus rendering connections with the chords much more simple.
6th. No pin holes are required in the chords as connections are made by means of gussets, thus evading loss of section by large pin holes and permitting the compression members to abut with half holes in gusset plates outside the chords. The absence of pin holes in the centre line of the chord permits the use of a centre diaphragm connecting the several leaves of the bottom chord and presenting a more symmetrical section than in the official plan.
7th. By the substitution of riveted tension chords for eyebars all risk and difficulty of assembling a double line of eychars with the heavy inclined posts in the offioial plan is removed and the diagonal tension and compression web members are in practically the same vertical plane as the corresponding leaf of the upper chord, thus insuring a more direct transmission of stress.
8!h. AH the heavy extras demanded by steel makers occur in the long and heavy web members of the official design. Owing to smaller stresses in the ' B 5 design these extras may be avoided, thus insuring less risk in the use of material which is beyond commercial limits.
9th. The general appearance of design ' B ' will certainly he appreciated from an aesthetic point of view, the large open panels and wide riveted members convey the idea of strength combined with economical distribution of 'material, which is the true test of scientific construction. A bridge constructed upon this design would compare most favourably with the highest type of long span bridges in existence.
We, therefore, beg to recommend the acceptance of the tender of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company on their design ' B/ We do not wish to be understood as condemning any other design nor is this recommendation in any sense a reflection on any of the companies tendering, hut we have arrived at this conclusion after a careful study of all the designs and conditions.
Respectfully submitted.

&quot; RALPH MODJESKI.
Mr.  C. G.@: Graham,
Minister of Railways and Canals,
Ottawa, Ont.
At one o'clock, the House took recess.
House resumed at three o'clock.


George Perry Graham: As soon as the report signed by Messrs. Macdonald and Modjes-ki reached me, I forwarded it to the chairman of the board, and he wrote me at some length on December 10, setting out very fully and at considerable length his objections to the report of the majority, and, among other things, in this letter or the one following it, he contended that the tender of the St. Lawrence Bridge company could not be entertained, as it did not comply in some respects with the advertisement, and he could not at all agree that it was a.

better design than the one he had prepared. Again, on January 20, he wrote me another letter, which may be called a supplementary report, in which he again stated his objections and expressed a view strongly opposed to the report of the majority, and in favour of his own design, and giving many reasons. Among other things, he took the position which I think, it is fair to him to state: that it was no part of the duty of the board to recommend definitely to the minister what tenders the minister should accept; that their duty was performed when they laid their reports before the minister, and it was the duty of the minister to act. These are the letters:
Montreal, December 10, 1910. Sir,-In reply to your letter of November 29, 1910, enclosing communication of my colleagues addressed to you and dated November 3, 1910, I beg to submit the following remarks :	*
The board derives its powers from the order in council dated August 17, 1908, in which it is said:
' They shall prepare a new design, together with a specification, working drawings, estimate of cost and all such things in that connection necessary as preliminary to proceeding with the work, and submit the same to the Department of Railways and Canals for its action thereon.'
Owing to different views held by the members of the board, an agreement was arrived at in November and December 1909 that tenders would be received on the board's plans and also on plans made by contractors, according to the specifications of the board.
In accordance with said agreement an advertisement dated Ottawa, November 24, 1909 was put in the papers by the department, stating that
'The contractor is invited to submit alternative designs which must conform to the conditions laid down in the general specification.'	,
Preliminary specifications were issued, dated January 1, 1940, in which we find.'
' Paragraph 6. Tenders. Tenders will he received on plans prepared by the board, but contractors are invited to submit plans of their own, made according to this and later specifications.'	,	,
Complete specifications were also issued dated .Tune 1, 1910, in which we find.' Paragraph 4. Contractors will be allowed to submit'tenders on plans of their own or on modifications of the board's plans, but all fenders shall be subject to these specifica-
U.UUS.	_
Finally an advertisement dated June 7, 1910 was put in the papers by the department which states that:
(a)	' tenders will not be considered, unless made strictly in accordance with the printed forms.'
The printed forms (contractor s plans) state that the plans must be in accordance with the specifications exhibited and a footnote states that the specifications referred to above are those entitled 'specifications for superstructure ' dated Montreal, June 1, 1910.
(b)	that the deposit will be forfeited.
' If the party tendering declines entering into contract for the work at the rates stated in the offer submitted and in accordance with the terms stated in the form of contract accompanying the specifications.'
In connection with the above, see form of contract, page 47:	,	[DOT]
' Which said specifications and supplementary specifications, plans and drawings are hereby declared to be part of this contract.'
On October 26, 1910, a report was sent you signed by all the members of the board, in which you were advised:
(a)	that four tenders on plan No. V of the board were acceptable.
(b)	that tenders on plans 'A,' ' B ' and ' C of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company would be acceptable ' providing that plans, details and materials were made in accordance with the specifications of the board, including modifications allowed to other bidders.'
The last paragraph means evidently that the plans, details and materials were not, at the date, made in accordance with the specifications of the board and did not come within the requirements of the department as advertised by public notice.
The only tenders, therefore, acceptable to the whole board and conforming to the requirements of the (board and department, were the four tenders on plan No. V of the board.
On November 1, you wrote me asking that the hoard recommend which of the tenders mentioned in the report should be accepted.
At a meeting of the board held November 2. I submitted your letter, to my colleagues. At this meeting the St. Lawrence Bridge Company's officials were present and submitted a special specification ifor compression members, which was entirely different from the specifications of the board and which, if accepted, as will be shown later on, would result in the construction of a bridge much weaker than proposed by the board. Later in the day my colleagues advised me that they had made up their minds to recommend the acceptance of the tender of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company on its own design and that, consequently, they would either send a majority report to the minister, or ask that two engineers he added to the board as provided for by the order in counoil. I suggested that the first course proposed by them be followed.
This recommendation was forwarded to you b my colleagues in a letter dated November 3, 1910.
On November 12, I answered your letter of November 1, informing you that I had nothing to add to the unanimous report of October 26, 1910. My reason for doing so was that I have never understood, from the time I joined the board, that the clause of the order in council quoted above, allows us to recommend the acceptance of any particular tender. I have always understood that this clause in the order in council leaves the choice of the tender to he accepted, to the department, and that the duties of the hoard are only those of a technical adviser.
Conditions, other than technical, may affect the choice, such as financial status, honest per-


George Perry Graham: Lawrence Bridge Company, as will he shown later on.
Coming now to the letter of my colleagues dated November 3, 1910, I inclose a copy (Appendix ' A ') having the paragraphs numbered for reference.	_
Paragraph 1. I heartily agree with this part of the letter. The difficulties noted therein, and my desire to put all the facts before you are my only excuse for writing such a long letter.
Paragraph 2. I beg to submit a few remarks on the question of single or double intersection, as follows:

During the early stages of the work a majority of the board, composed of mv two colleagues, favoured double intersection; a minority, composed of the Chairman, favoured single intersection.
I did not rely on my knowledge alone, hut consulted on this point many well known engineers.	t
Amongst others the following, for one rpa-son or another, favoured single against double intersection:


Mr.  C. G.@: 543&
the construction, erection and efficiency of which design all of them are ready to guarantee.
Paragraph 10. The Williot's diagram of design ' B ' are for a 502 foot anchor arm built of carbon steel, and no comparison can be made with the Williot's diagrams for the 586-foot anchor arm of the board's design built of nickel steel, and as Williot's diagrams of the cantilever arm of design ' B,' which would have given a true measure for comparison, and should have been furnished as per paragraph 108 of the specifications, have not been submitted by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, no comparison at aid can be made.
The diagrams produced do not, therefore, show that there is less distortion in each case.
This whole matter has really very little importance as deformation is not a measure of strength; for if we compare two members of same length, but of different depths, the same amount of bending deformation which would be harmless in the shallower member may cause the failure of the deeper one.
It is, however, necessary to determine the deformations and the ^trains they cause. This has been done, with the greatest care, in connection with the board's design, as may be seen by referring to the drawings exhibited, and in all oases the -strains resulting from the deformations have been amply provided for.
Paragraph 11. As the web members, as well as the bottom chords of the board's design, are erected in half widths they are just as easy to handle and to connect, if not easier, than the web members of design ' B.'
Paragraph 12. The opinion hereby given is contrary to the universal practice of bridge engineers in America. Very few instances could be shown where this has been done. This kind of connection has been limited in the board's design to as few members as erection would allow, especially for compression members, where its use was deemed inadvisable. An instance of it is shown at the end of the cantilever arm, where special precautions have been taken to avoid the objectionable features of such a connection. I have, however, always intended to change this detail, if possible, in the final drawings. The excellency of the connections used in the -board's design has been sbown conclusively by tests T4A -and T4B, and T6A and T6B, made at Phoenixville. The connections proposed by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company have not been tested.
Pafagraph 13. This statement is irrelevant unless it means that the c-hords proposed by the St. Lawire-nec Bridge Company are better than the chords of the board. Tt is a hold statement in the absence of actual tests of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company's chords and ;n the face of the extremely satisfactory results obtained in the tests made at Phoenixville on models of the board's chords T1A and TIB, and T2A and T2B, and of a sentence in letter number one accompanying the tenders of tihe St. Lawrence Bridge Company, where we read:
' The results obtained in the tests of nickel steel columns made by the board were, in some cases, unusually and unexpectedly high and it is doubtful that so high values I Mr. GiRAHAM.
can again be reached unless the board's experiments are exactly duplicated.'
I would also remark that longitudinal splicing, as shown in the St. Lawrence Bridge Company's design, has been tested by the board and has given very inferior results,-as shown by tests T7A and T7B.
The results of all the tests referred to were sent to you on August 1, 19-10.
Paragraph 14. The first part of the sentence is in direct contradiction with clause 74 of the specifications. I-t is also in direct contradiction with the often expressed opinion of one of my colleagues that eyebars are the most reliable for-m of tension members. One might well hesitate, before accepting field riveted connections of tension members over five inches thick, not, including splice plates.
A double line of eyebars is very much easier to assemble and less risky than a single line. The St. Lawrence Bridge Company propose che-mselves to use two lines of eyebars in designs ' M ' and ' N.'
Paragraph 15. What does it matter if pins are carefully calculated, according to American practice?
Paragraph 1<5. Any extras- demanded -by steel makers are included in the prices named in the tenders and there is no risk, since all materials will be inspected -and must come up to the specifications. Any material, which it is impossible to get on account of length, may -be spliced and I would remark that splicing has been, resorted to by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company to a much larger extent than contemplated by the board.
Paragraph 17. This is certainly an unexpected argument, but I have no right to criticise the sesthetic judgment of my colleagues.
Barograph 18. In view of all the preceding observations contained in this letter I cannot join in' -the recommendation of my colleagues,
(a)	(because it is contrary to the recommendation of the whole board,
(b)	because the tender referred to on design ' B ' is not according to the requirements of the board and the department, since it contains the words:
' This tender is based upon the specifications and draft contract as modified by onr accompanying letter No. 1, of this date.'
According to the advertisement issued by the department on June 17, 1910, this tender should not be considered.
(c)	because in letter No. 1 referred to above, we read, amongst many requests for changes in the specifications:
' The results obtained in the tests on nickel steel columns made bv the board were, in some cases, unusually and unexpectedly high and it is doubtful that so high values can again be reached unless the board's experiments are exactly duplicated.'
This is certainly a high compliment for the hoard's design, but I do not see why anything not quite so good -should -be accepted.
(d)	because amongst other clauses, design ' B ' does not comply with vital clauses 68, 74 and 278 of the specifications.
The -tender on any such design, if built acoording to the specifications of the hoard, would be the tender on design ' C ' -at an ex-

410, cost of $250,000 or $1,200,000 above the lowest tender.
(e)	even if such tender were based upon the *specifications of the hoard, there are no plans before the board to show how this would be done. Plan ' C ' shows only two preliminary strain sheets. Neither the connections of evebars in the top chords or wdb members, their layout, nor any other information are given. The bottom chords of plan ' A ' which might be used for plans ' C ' or ' B ' are not acceptable in view of the results of tests T7A and T7B. A note on one of the plans says that if tests are not satisfactory they would be replaced by something else.
The word 'satisfactory' in this case has no meaning since no guarantee of tests was given beyond the vague sentence in letter No. 1, accompanying the tenders:
' The specifications should, of course require only such values as can reasonably be expected from carbon steel in the light of *compression tests already made upon it.' Such results would give a bridge much inferior in strength to the board's design.
The board could not, therefore, give an opinion on plans which do not exist.
Referring to the comparative strength of the board's plan and of ' A,' ' B ' and ' C ' designs, I enclose calculations showing the superiority of the board's design (appendix
'D').	8X11
The calculations for elastic limit are to a certain extent based on assumptions, and, besides, elastic limit and yield point cannot be absolutely compared. I have made the [DOT]comparison as conservatively as I could, owing to_ the lack of knowledge on the limit of elasticity of built compression members, in regard to which no investigation has ever been attempted, at least' to my knowledge, previous to the experiments made by the board at Phoenixvidle.
The calculations foT ultimate istrengt-h are correct and based on the minimum results obtained or specified by the board and on the minimum results guaranteed by the St. Lawrence Bridge Company.
Of course, in a work of this magnitude, where such guarantees are asked from the contractors and where a comparatively new kind of metal is used, I understand that the specifications of the board may have to be altered on such points that could not be ascertained before calling for tenders, such as extreme length of materials procurable, and the physical and chemical tests of materials that mills are ready to manufacture irrespective of cost. I was astonished to find out how little change was really insisted upon by the contractors and steel makers and, of course, such changes, as agreed to by the board, ought to be allowed to all contractors alike. The case is different when the conditions of the contract have not been fulfilled, when vital clauses are concerned and where the changes asked for are absolutely contrary to the requirements of the board and department or diminish tile strength of the bridge.
To conclude. As implicitly stated in the report of October 26, 1910, the plans, details and materials of designs ' A,' ' B ' and ' C ' of the St. Laxvrence Bridge Company are not made according to specifications. They provide for
a bridge weaker than the board's design, a3 shown in Appendix ' D.'
Even if they could be made as strong as required by the specifications, there is no plan before the board to show how this result would be attained.
The tenders of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company on their own designs ' A,' 'B ' and ' C ' do not, therefore, comply with the requirements of the board, as expressed in the specifications, nor of the department, as expressed in the public notices and form of contract issued.
They caunot, therefore, be considered by the board.
The board's design, for the many reasons given on page 4, 5 and 6, complies with all the requirements of the board and the department. It is satisfactory to all engineers and contractors concerned, and I do not know of any technical reason why either of the four tenders on this design should not be accepted.
Yours respectfully,
(Sgd.) H. E. VAUTELET, Chairman and Chief Engineer. Hon. Geo. P. Graham,
Minister of Railways and Canals,
Ottawa, Ont.
Montreal, January 20, 1911.
Sir,-I beg to supplement my letter addressed to you on December 10, 1910, by adding to page 6, the following remarks in regard to design V of the board.
(k)	A report of Sir Douglas Fox on the board's design was transmitted to me by a representative of the British Empire Bridge Company, and reads as follows:-
' Have made careful examination of board's specifications, general designs and details. Specification is clear and concise and prepared with great care and judgment. It will ensure structure built combining stability and permanence with reasonable economy. Design admirably suited for its purpose. It is perfectly sound alike as to construction and erection and in detail is worked out with skill and judgment. Experiments on large models of compression members have enabled the design of vital parts to be prepared with certainty. Think no hesitation in proceeding with works on lines laid down.'	,
(l)	Letters number two, dated September 30, 1910, attached to the tenders of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company stated:
' Had it not been for the many difficulties that came up on considering the erection of the board's design we would have been content to have tendered on this design only, believing the bridge in other respects to be ill that can be desired.'
As mentioned in mv letter of December 10 (page 9), the difficulties of erection had become much less serious by October 15, 1910, when the St. Lawrence Bridge Company wrote:
' In a general way xve may say that for each design we have worked up in detail a scheme we are satisfied will do the work safely, and on this we have based our estimates.'
And later, speaking of the board's design:
' With the inside traveller the risks above mentioned can, we think, be practically eliminated.'


George Perry Graham: Bridge Company, quoted page 14 and 15 of my letter of December 10.)
It will, therefore, take a much longer time to make the shop drawings for the design of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company than for the hoard's design.
On December 13, 1910, I _ received a letter from the St. Lawrence Bridge Company inclosing copy of letter addressed to yon dated November 28, 19,10, in which they agree to make tlieir plans, details and materials conform with the specifications of the hoard. They do not state, however, what the cost will be. It is, however, another proof that the plans submitted with their tenders were nof made according to the requirements of the hoard and of the department (see ' e,' page Id of my letter of December 10, 1910). I would add that if the specifications are to he followed, the use of a through traveller will bring in the erection serious difficulties that presented themselves in all plans and which were avoided by the use of a top traveller.
In any ease i feel very much gratified that as a consequence of our discussions the St Lawrence Bridge Company has accepted the specifications of the hoard and that as a result a much stronger bridge has been secured for the country than the one which was originally proposed in their tenders.
Respectfully submitted,
(Sgd.) H. E. VAUTELET. Chairman and Chief Engineer. Hon. Geo. P. Graham,
Minister of Railways and Canals,
Ottawa, Ont.
Thes*e reports weie in my hands, and the Chairman taking such a decided view one way and the majority of the members of the board having such decided opinions on the other, I believed it was a case in which action should be taken under the clause of the order in council appointing the board which said that where any disagreement arose, not more than two experts should be called in to decide the point in dispute. M. J. Butler, the former deputy-minister of the department, who was thoroughly conversant with the entire transaction from the beginning (and I may say Mr. Vautelet, as Chairman of the board, acquiesced in his appointment), and Mr. H. W. Hodge, an eminent engineer of New York, were named. These gentlemen met in Montreal. There were present Messrs. Modjeski, Macdonald, Butler and Hodge-Mr. Vautelet was ill at the time hut the action that was taken can probably best be stated by reading the report of this enlarged board, which is as follows:
Montreal, February 8, 1011.
Sir,-In accordance with your letter of January 20, appointing Messrs. M. J. Butler and Henry W. Hodge to advise with the Board of Engineers, Quebec bridge, on the points of difference that have arisen in that board, we have the honour to report as follows:-
The hoard, with the exception of Mr. Vaute-let, who is detained in his home by illness, met with the advisory engineers on February

6, and have been in session for the past three days, Mr. Macdonald acting as temporary Chairman.
We have examined the various tenders and general designs and the advisory engineers have read the written opinions of the members of the board, and in addition thereto, the opinion of Mir. Vautelet, as expressed in his letter to them dated February 2. They have also considered the verbal arguments of each member of the board, adjourning to Mr. Vaute'let's residence for the purpose of conferring with him.
The only point of difference in the board is as to which specific design and tender should be recommended for acceptance; the board being divided between the official design and the design of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company.
None of the tenders on either of these two designs were made requiring modifications of the specifications, so that such alterations must he considered if either of these tenders are to be accepted.
The advisory engineers have not considered it within the province of their appointment to examine closely into the details of the two above mentioned designs, and all of us are of the opinion that consideration of details is a matter that must be carefully studied and worked out in the light of further tests yet to be made by the Board of Engineers.
From our examination of the two above mentioned general designs, we, the undersigned, agree that the design of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company is preferable for the follow! n g reasons:-
(a)	The type of design offers greater safety to life and property during erection, as well as economy and rapidity in construction.
(b)	The design contains the minimum number of secondary members and requires^ few, if any, temporary members during erection.
(c)	The system of triangulation by dividing the web stresses reduces the members to more practical sections and simplifies the details of connections.
(d)	The design economizes material, as shown by the calculated weights of the two designs.
(e)	The general appearance of the structure is, in our opinion, improved.
We feel that in a work of such magnitude the question of design is of the first importance, and for the reasons given above we recommend the acceptance of design ' B ' of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, subject to certain modifications in general outline and detail, which we deem advisable and which will result in economy, and further improvement' in appearance. The modifications of their design we have in mind will reduce the cost of the work by, at least, four dollars per ton and we recommend the acceptance of the tender of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company on their design ' B ' at a price not exceeding 8-45 cents per pound (amounting in the calculated weight to $11,246,100) and at a corresponding reduction on their other pound price, if the board should decide to accept any features of their alternate tenders.
The lowest tender of the British Empire Bridge Company, when the additional price they give for complying with the splices required by the official design is added, amounts to $11,320,720.
While not oalled for by the advertisement, the St. Lawrence Bridge Company submitted among their tenders, one omitting the roadways, Which at the reduction in their pound price above recommended, shows a cost of $8,650,000 on the figured weight, and we think this should be called to your attention, as the highways can now be omitted without changing our above recommendations or delaying the progress of this work.
We have the honour to be, sir,
Your obedient servants, (Sgd.) M. J. BUTLER,
HENRY W. HODGE, RALPH MODJESKI, CHARLES MACDONALD, Chairman pro tem. Hon. Geo. P. Graham, LL.D., P.C.,
Minister of Railawys and Canals,
Ottawa, Ont.
Mr. Butler only acted in settling the difference that arose between the regular members of the board as between these two designs.


George Eulas Foster: I would like to ask my hon. friend two questions there. The British Empire company's tender was for a bridge with roadways?


George Perry Graham: Yres.


George Eulas Foster: And the tender on design B of the St. Lawrence company was for a bridge with roadways?


George Perry Graham: Yes.


George Eulas Foster: Were there separate tenders from these companies for the bridge without the roadway and for the bridge with 'the roadway, or was just one sum stated for the bridge, .the design of which included roadways?
Mr. GRAHAM! The British Empire company tendered on the design with the roadway, and it was the only company that did not put in at least one alternative design. Among the alternative plans submitted by the St. Lawrence Bridge company, was one without the roadway. That was plan X. It was the only company that put in a tender showing that the bridge could be built without the roadways ax that saving. Now, this board of engineers unanimously recommended the adoption of this design of the St. Lawrence Bridge company. Following that, I wrote letters to the St. Lawrence 'company asking them certain things, if they were ready to undertake the contract, and if their parent company would 'become parties to the contract, as we wanted all the capital that was behind any of the stockholders to be at our disposal, in case the bridge was not a success. In addition to that, I think we asked as a deposit, in the first dace, $500,000, and afterwards a further sum, making in all, if I remember the

figures correctly, a cash deposit of $1,200000. It was a very large deposit, and the contractors so expressed themselves; but the undertaking was so gigantic that the department and the government thought it advisable to ask for a very large deposit. As against that the contractors of course, get drawbacks on their contracts as they proceed with the work. Mr. Vautelet resigned his position on February 22. An order in council was passed on February 27. accepting his resignation as from February 22. The contract was signed on April
4,	1911. Mr. Charles N. Monsarratt, M.C.,
5.	C.E., formerly chief bridge engineer of the Canadian Pacific railway, was appointed to succeed Mr. Vautelet, on May 6, 1911. Mr. Macdonald, according to the terms o! his appointment, retired as soon as the contract was signed, and was succeeded by Mr O C. Schneider, C.E., of New York, who was appointed on May 15, 1911.


George Eulas Foster: Did Mr. Vautelet, who resigned shortly after the final report of the four out of the five engineers was made, make any comments or any report, or express any opinion as to what was advised by the others?


George Perry Graham: I think he did not make any further comment.
Now, the reason I have brought this matter to the attention of the House is that this was the largest undertaking of its kind ever conceived, it was surrounded with a great many difficulties, and the government were of the opinion, which seemed to be acquiesced in by this House on several occasions, that the safe way to carry on this work was to select a board of competent men, the best they could find, and place all the responsibility, because it was entirely of a technical character, in their hands. I may say that not so much as one stenographer was recommended by the government for that board. They selected their own staff from the messengers up, and recommended what their salaries should be, and no increase of salary which the board recommended was ever refused by the government; so there would be no excuse for the board saying that they had ever been interfered with. The board having accepted the responsibility of carrying on this great work, the government relied solely on them. Whether rightly or wrongly, every step- taken from start to finish in connection with this work was taken on the responsibility of the board. I think no errors were committed, but if they were, the responsibility would rest on the technical men who accepted the responsibility. I think that they made no mistake, and that none will occur, and that they will carry the work to a success.


Mr. CURRIE.: In the consideration of the plans for this bridge, did the ques-Mr. GEAHAM.
tion arise whether it should be of the canta-lever type or of the suspension type? In New York, where they have great bridges, we find that they are of the suspension type.


George Perry Graham: In New York there is no bridge that approaches this one. But that question was thoroughly threshed out and the board was unanimous for the canta-lever principle. The government having decided to place the responsibility on the board, that responsibility was kept on the board all the time, and from beginning to end, in our connection with that great enterprise, no step was taken except on the advice, not only of a majority of the board, when the entire board did not agree, but on the advice of an enlarged board, and the final conclusion was upon the advice of four men to one.
I make this statement for the purpose of placing it on record, not merely for the benefit of the House, the members being fairly conversant with it, but for the benefit of the public, the financial men of England, and the contractors on this continent, and in Europe. The Canadian government, no matter what party is in power, I take it, endeavours to do its business with fairness to everybody, always keeping in mind that they are serving the Canadian people from first to last; and that was done with regard to this great work. In conclusion, I may say that I am not sorry, and have no apologies to offer, for being able, in following the advice of this board, so selected, to give this gigantic work to a Canadian firm, so that as far as possible, the money spent on it will be spent among the workmen of the Dominion of Canada.


George Eulas Foster: Mr. Speaker, I do not propose to follow the hon. gentleman in any critique of his long statement upon a very complex and technical subject. I am not prepared to do that, either from a late reading ofl Ithe circumstances outside or from a knowledge of the more technical and abstruse work of the contract itself and all that it involves in the plans and specifications. I think the hon. gentleman has done well in making the statement as full as he has, and entirely free from partisan bias. There are, however, two or three things that occur to my mind as a layman, and I will take the liberty of expressing them. In the first place, it would seem as though the board of engineers, after having approved of a design, and after having settled upon it as the official design, gave an option to the tenderers to tender either upon that or upon a design of their own; and, as it turned out, the 'St Lawrence Company did not tender upon the official ) design.


George Perry Graham: Every tenderer tendered on the chairman's design, the official design, first, and then they could put in an alternative.


George Eulas Foster: The St. Lawrence Company tendered on the chairman's design, and then tendered on a design of its own. The British Empire Company did the same.


George Perry Graham: The British Empire Company was the only company that did not take advantage of the opportunity to tender on its own design as well.


George Eulas Foster: Then, in the end, design ' B ' of the St. Lawrence Company was not the one that was finally accepted. Another design, ' A.,' by the same company, was, after the extra engineers had been called in, recommended by them, and the suggestion was made that if the roadway was left out, the cost would be diminished by some $2,000,000; and the opinion of my hon. friend, which he gathered to toe the view of the engineers, was that it would be better to have the roadway eliminated and to build the bridge simply for railway transport. What appears to me is this, that when neither the one design nor the other was taken upon what there seemed to have been an agreement, with the exception of the chairman of the board, and a decision was come to to eliminate the roadway, whether it would not have been fair, when the government had made that fundamental change, which would make a very great difference in the attitude of the tenderers, and which was introducing an entirely new element, to have allowed the British Empire Company to have tendered for a structure without the roadway. That was not done. In an immense affair of this kind, in which are interested eminent contractors of very high standing, whose goodwill it would be always well to have, and whose arrangements must be made with great financial security, and consequently with a very wide interest in their contract, when so fundamental a change was made as to eliminate the roadway and consequently one-fifth or one-iourth of the cost, it would have been fair to have allowed the other company to have amended its tender, or to have called for new tenders on the amended basis. But the main thing I want to impress on the House and the country is that, in the statement my hon. friend has made, he has uttered the severest condemnation I have over heard passed by any hon. gentleman upon the action of his own government. What I mean is this. In his statement my hon. friend elaborated two things. One was the unprecedented nature of the work. No such work had ever been attempted in the world; no such work was at present being carried on anywhere; it was a stu-173
pendous work, unique; and he strongly emphasized the care, the attention, the absolute domination of the idea which possessed him that in such a stupendous work no effort in time or cost of scientific ability should be eliminated in getting the very best men to examine the problem and to devise from that examination the very best design and specification that could be had. No amount of money should stand in the way of that; no lapse of time was too long in order that that might be accomplished, to the end that the most stupendous work in the world in that form of construction should be conceived and set into operation by the very best engineering skill that could be had. The extreme levity and light-heartedness with which my hon. friend's government approached this most stupendous task stands out in relief against this elaborate and serious statement of my hon. friend. I do not suppose any great work was ever approached in a spirit of such carelessness, lack of consideration and utter abandonment of responsibility- certainly not in the history of Canada, and 1 doubt if in any other country, in regard to a work approaching this in magnitude. What was done ? This most stupendous work was handed over to a small number of promoters and left in their hands. The legislation that made it possible for these promoters to work was passed through parliament between dark and daylight at the last end of a long and tired session. No supervision worthy of the name was given by that government, though its credit and its money and the reputation of the country was at the beck and call of the promoters.
I just call the attention of the House and the country to the condemnation, the severe condemnation, that my hon. friend has felt called upon to utter against the method, the practice, and, I think, the almost criminal negligence of the government of which he formed a part. The government was not content with putting this into the hands of promoters, heedless of the stupendous character of the construction, careless of everything, it would seem, but the carrying out of some petty design of promoters, but left it in their hands without supervision by the government itself, and when they had played with it and burned their fingers-as they were certain to do and should have been allowed to heal the burns themselves- the government which had been guilty of such levity and such criminal carelessness, made up to those promoters every dollar that they had put into it, and gave them much that they had never put into it, and interest upon all that was paid.
I hope the lesson is one which Canada will profit from in future. The country has paid dearly for its experience. And



it is a righteous retribution that a member of the same government which was guilty of such criminal negligence-to say nothing more-in the beginning of this stupendous transaction should be the one to pronounce here in the House his apologia, and at the same time his condemnation of the work of his predecessors.

[Stage Direction]
Militia and Defence-allowance active militia, $112,000.	.
Hon. SAM. HUGHES (Minister of Militia).: In introducing the militia estimates, perhaps I may be permitted a word of general explanation. I have largely followed, as necessarily was the case, the estimates as prepared by my predecessor in office. In order to facilitate the discussion and give every member of the House the fullest opportunity of looking into the details of these estimates, I had a statement prepared giving the estimates with explanations, and a copy of this has been sent to every member of the House. On this first item, there is an increase of $2,000. This is due to a new corps having been formed and an increase in the establishment of other corps. Requests have come in from various parts of the country to increase these establishments and this has been done to this extent.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I do not know whether it is set forth in this memorandum or not, but I believe it is a fact that in this item is included the allowances made to the [DOT] commandants of different regiments of infantry. Does the minister allow anything to the commanding officer for care of arms and accoutrements in places where there is an armoury with a caretaker in [DOT]charge? If not, does not the hon. minister think that the commanding officer who becomes responsible for this property should have something in the way of an allowance, even though he does not have to do the actual work of cleaning and caretaking? I have been told by officers of the militia they are responsible for losses when stock is taken every year, even though the losses may be due to the negligence of the caretaker, and, as I understand it, the commanding officer has no way [DOT]of getting his own out of the caretaker. He must make good to the government but, unfortunately, there is nobody to make good to him. I may be wrong in my understanding of the case, but if I am right, does not the hon. minister think that this state of affairs involves injustice?


George Eulas Foster: 


Mr. HUGHES (Victoria, Ont.).: The hon. *gentleman (Mr. Carvell) has stated the case exactly. The allowance for care of arms varies from $40 for a small unit, to $170 for a field battery. Where there is an armoury provided by the government, only half the allowance is made. The commanding officer of a corps provided with a government armouTV and caretaker receives no allowance, and most of the artillery corps and many others are now provided with caretakers. I heartily agree that the claim to consideration of the officer responsible who has to pay out of his own pocket for efficiency in these stores though, in many cases, he has no direct control of the caretaker, should be recognized. There has been no change in this item; we are taking it exactly as it has been. But I may say it is our intention, if we can get an officer in command of a district to recommend to us a proper caretaker-and our first requisite is that he shall be a soldier properly qualified-to appoint that man. We will have the officer in command, in more or less direct control of the caretaker. The matter of pay or allowance has not been considered, because we have not had time. I know from personal and other experience that there is a great deal of justice in the statement the hon. gentleman has made.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I am sorry the hon. minister has not taken time in some instances to make inquiries before he made dismissals of these caretakers. I wish to call attention to a case coming under my own observation. In the armoury in the town in which I live, ever since its construction it has been presided over by a gentleman who was a militiaman, a soldier, as my hon. friend (Mr. Hughes, Victoria, Ont.) says, and who later became an officer in the artillery.
i mk nom tiie Militia Department ail sorts of criticism, in fact I was looked upon almost as an outlaw in military ethics, in recommending this gentleman as caretaker, I think they call him superintendent, of the 10th Field Battery. But I took the ground that the man who was responsible for the care of arms and accoutrements of the field battery ought to be a man who knew something about a field battery; I do not care whether he is an officer or not, he ought to have some knowledge of field batteries, and, therefore, he was appointed. But unfortunately he was a Liberal, and1 I think that one of the first official acts of my hon. friend1 was to remove that gentleman from his position. Now he says, we want a soldier. What have they got? A man who runs a billiard hall, and I do not know what else he does.

I think they sent him down to Kingston on some official business, but he didn't serve out his full time, and came back home in a week or ten days. And that is the man who takes care ol the arms in the town of Woodstock. He has control of the arms and accoutrements of the Woodstock camp of the field battery, and of the engineering corps. Well, the engineering corps have only two ot three old wagons, a few shovels and spades, and a lew Ross rifles-they are all right of course. But let me point out that the government have just supplied the 10th Field Battery with new 18 pounder field guns, costing many thousands of dollars; and here is a man of the class I have described who is put in charge of them, a man who would not even fill out his time at Kingston, and the arms of the 10th Field Battery to-day are in the hands of a man, I won't say he is irresponsible, but I do not think he knows much about the care of arms. I sincerely hope my hon. friend will pause before he dismisses efficient officers and caretakers, and appoints men of this character to their places. I am sorry my hon. friend had not arrived at this laudable decision he now professes before he took the opportunity of dismissing a man from office who does know something about the business, and who has some interest in the affairs of the country.


Samuel Hughes: The man who was dismissed was a very good man if he had attended to his business, but he made himself very offensive during the elections. However, I may say frankly that in several cases we have refused to accept applicants because they were not competent. I may say also without fear of offending any of my good friends, that I am making it a requirement now that the man who is recommended must always be fit for his business, and if I cannot get a good Tory I will take the best man I can get.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Will the minister say that this qualification shall be retroactive?


Samuel Hughes: I go forwards, but not backwards.


Mr. MACDONALD.: I am surprised to hear the minister say that one of the essential qualifications for such appointments is that the man must be a Tory.


Samuel Hughes: The first essential is qualification; then, of course, we look to his politics.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: My hon. friend said a moment ago that the principle he was going to adopt was that if he can not find a good Tory, then he will look around and find somebody else. That is an unfortunate announcement for my hon. friend to 1731	1 j
make at the inception of his career. Everybody agrees that the Minister of Militia, above all others, should aim to keep the militia out of politics. There is not much to be gained in making appointments to the militia from a political standpoint. I do not think any political party would be advanced or injured if a man was appointed as caretaker who was not a supporter of the government.


Samuel Hughes: How would my hon. friend suggest I should proceed?


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I know my hon. friend has had very high aspirations [DOT] in reference to this matter in the past, and I would suggest that he should proceed upon the advice of the commanding officers of the regiments in the different places where arms are to be looked after, and be guided by responsible people in the military service. I am sorry to hear from the minister that he proposes to administer his department in the manner he has indicated.


Samuel Hughes: Outside of promotions of high officials, I have no hesitation in saying that as between two men, one qualified and the other unqualified, the qualified man being a Liberal and the unqualified one being a Tory, the Liberal will get the job. But other things being equal, both being qualified, the Tory will get the job. There is no use in denying it, that is the rule that both sides have followed, that is the rule my hon. friend would pursue, I am satisfied of that. But I will say this, that so far we have had a little trouble in appointing some of those men and finding they were not exactly qualified. I think in some instances we have even stretched our conscience in appointing Liberals.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Then we are to understand that there is to be politics in the militia in future?	.


Samuel Hughes: If my hon. friend chooses to call that politics, it is politics.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: It is unfortunate in a sense. Nobody questions that the patronage system obtains in this country in regard to every branch of the service. But my hon. friend has vociferously proclaimed in the past that there should be no politics. On many occasions hon. gentlemen on both sides of the House have urged that in the Militia Department the patronage system should be disregarded, and that only men who are suitable should be .appointed to responsible positions.


Samuel Hughes: For official
positions.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I regard the appointment of a man who is the caretaker

of an armoury on political grounds as being too pettifogging to bother about. I am surprised to see my hon. friend descending to that.


Samuel Hughes: I am sorry not to have won the esteem of my hon. friend. But these are not officers, these are men who have care of arms, men who are associated with the young fellows who come into the armoury. Take the case at Woodstock. My hon. friend from Carle-ton (Mr. Carvell) will not deny that this particular caretaker was one of the best political agents in that community; he was in the drill hall on all occasions, and was thrown into the company _ of these young men and acted as a political agent among them. I give fair warning that any man who is appointed to such a position hereafter must leave politics aside. But so far as appointing a man to an office goes, other things 'being equal, I am not going, to stand up here and pretend anything to the contrary; all things being equal the man who is appointed to the office will be a Tory. But in promotions m the militiary service 'there will foe no politics.


Mr. NESBITT.: If there was trouble in the country and the men were called out to take the field, would the minister look into their politics?


Samuel Hughes: I am sorry tlia-t my hon. friend is not in the militia, if he were he would know that caretakers are not called out. They stay at home.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: That may be a smart answer in the minister's opinion, but are they not liable to be called out like any other men?


Samuel Hughes: Yes, the same as my hon. friend is, but not all of them could go.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: I have no doubt that if I were called upon I would have to go and I would have no doubt that the caretaker would have to go also, with all due deference to my hon. friend. But what I asked him was if the men who are called out will be called out on political lines.


Samuel Hughes: I never said so. The record of the Tory party in the past has been such as to show they would not be. If the hon. gentleman wishes to go into the matter, I do not think I need go any farther 'back than the expedition to South Africa, when the issues were not determined on the lines of fitness, but were determined largely on the lines of politics.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I hope the minister is very clear about his position. As I understand it, when it comes to caretakers Mr. MACDONALD.
and officials of that kind, he is to apply the political rule while with regard to other branches of the service fitness is the qualification.


Samuel Hughes: No, fitness is the first qualification for a caretaker.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Then why did you dismiss my friend from Carleton, N.B.?


Samuel Hughes: Because he was an active partisan.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: But he was a good man.


Samuel Hughes: But he goes if he is just an active partisan, just the same if he had been a Tory.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: You do it to Tories as well as to Grits?


Samuel Hughes: Certainly; the man who neglects his business for politics goes.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Both?


Samuel Hughes: Yes.
Annual drill, $1,730,000.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: May I ask the minister for an explanation of the enormous increase here?


Samuel Hughes: If I had taken the estimates of my predecessor in office the amount this year would have been, not $1,730,000, but $2,200,000. I reduced that by the sum of $470,000. However, it is only fair to explain that the infantry corps for this year train for twelve days. The cavalry, artillery, engineers and all other corps train for sixteen days and there is a large increase in the sum required under that heading. The flat rate of fifty cents a day has been increased to seventy-five cents a day and the opportunity is given to the soldier to earn efficiency pay and perform other service thus increasing the sum to $1 per day. These items, figured up, make the total amount.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: One dollar a day will be the maximum?


Samuel Hughes: One dollar a day will be the maximum. In that is also included a sum for transporting and maintaining cadet corps in camp. Therefore, although the sum of $1,730,000 is $470,000 less than if the original estimate had been maintained, it will still provide for the training of 40,000 cadets in camp, for four days' additional pay for the cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and, in addition to that, drilling the city corps. That is giving the city corps, who never have an opportunity of manoeuvering, a period of four or five days in camp, and, of course,

they will be paid for that also. I am not claiming credit for these changes. They were in the scheme prepared by my predecessor before I took office.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Is not my hon. friend, in proposing to * train the cadets in camp, taking a new step in that particular?


Samuel Hughes: Not necessarily. Provision has always been made in the law for the training of cadets, but it has been for training in a company attached to the active militia, which I do not believe in. The consequence is that the cadets have never been in camp, as a great many parents do not want their children, owing to the fact that the recruiting was not always carried on as it should have been, to attend these camps of instruction with the ordinary active militia. The purpose is, now to have these young lads brought into camp separately and under the conditions which I have already explained.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Where?


Samuel Hughes: In each county or riding headquarters. If my hon. friends will be good enough to send in a statement in each locality of where we could get good areas for the boys to drill on, I would be much obliged. This year the camps will be held in centres in each county.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: It is a question whether that policy is a good one or not. These cadet companies are the product of the Strathcona Trust, which contemplated that half of the money which was devoted to each province should be expended for physical training. Thirty-five per cent, of the amount which was devoted to each province, has been utilized for military training and 15 per cent, for rifle shooting. We have the Boy Scouts also, which is an independent organization, and I have heard it discussed with very great seriousness as to the wisdom of the militia department taking hold of this cadet movement to the extent to which they purpose doing by putting these boys into camp. There is the problem that my hon. friend suggests and the point occurs to one, as to whether the parents of the children who are getting this military training to-day under the provisions of the Strathcona Trust from their instructors and teachers at home, would care to allow them, at tender years, to go off and remain in camps under the method proposed here. It seems to me that the true purpose to be served by the expenditure contemplated by the Trust, would be better attained by allowing the young boys to get the military training given by the instructor .at home, inculcate them withe a
desire for militia work, and militia interests, and then, when they have reached the age when they can join the active militia, they will afford a very fair recruiting ground for the militia. But the fusion of the small boy into the militia directly at that early age, is quite a problem. I am not speaking in a captious way, but in the exercise of such judgment as I can apply to the problem and I must say that I cannot view the proposal favourably. I think the problem of taking the boys away from home-I do not care whether it is to the county town or some place else-and putting them into camp in the summer time, will not work out successfully. I think the results would be very much better if their teachers and instructors developed their interest in militia work by training them in the schools so that they might be brought into the militia in future years. This would result in larger additions to the militia than if, at an early age _ you proceed to drive and enforce the militia training and render entirely stale the experience which the young man would look forward to, when he got up to the age at which going to camp would be a real experience.	_
It is of course a question of policy, and for my part I am inclined to think that the expenditure the minister proposes, of $130,000 for that purpose, is not one which in the long run will be in the interests of the militia, or in the general interest of the country. I would like to hear the minister's justification, if he has any, for this change. We have a Boy Scout movement which is not dealt with by the minister and in 'Which you have local interest and enthusiasm displayed by the young men in that branch of junior military work, and you have the cadet movement which is confined to the schools to which the young people go until they get to the age when they have developed some interest along military lines and would go into the militia as a matter of course. I doubt the wisdom of this vote.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I have given this matter a good deal of consideration, and I have arrived at somewhat the same conclusion as the hon. member for Pictou (Mr. Macdonald) although perhaps my views are a little more pronounced than his. I have read with a great deal of interest the memorandum sent out by the minister, in which he contrasts the ' positive ' training with the ' negative ' training and in which he shows that the negative or demoralizing training which the people of Canada are receiving is costing $127,000,000. I am not going to analyse that, but I may say that the militia, which my hon. friend (Mr. Macdonald) has so much at heart is not the positive training for good that the minister thinks it is. I hope I will not be

taken as saying that I am entirely against a militia force, for I am not. I believe this country has to have a militia force of some kind, but I am afraid that we are being drawn into the vortex of militarism to an extent our fathers never dreamt of. The minister seems to think that all you have to do to fit a boy for going through the pearly gates is to put him in the militia at twelve years of age and keep him there until his habits are formed. Perhaps my experience in the militia is not along the same lines as that of the minister, but if I had a boy and he wanted to join the militia, I would feel much more responsibility in looking after the character and makeup of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the corps he intended joining, than I would if I were sending him to a school. I believe there are some young men who take their first drink of liquor in going to or in attending the military camps.


Samuel Hughes: Has the hon. member a boy?


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I have not. If I had one I would encourage him to join the militia, but I would be mighty careful as to what corps he joined. I cannot agree with the minister that joining the militia is the remedy for all the ills the human flesh is heir to, and I think he will find that it is not the temperance agent he imagines it is. We come now to the question as to whether this is a good policy. Surely the minister must consider that a boy of twelve years is pretty young to be taken away from his parents and sent into a camp of instruction, surrounded by evil influences as well as good. I will admit that if the minister could get the assistance of all the clergymen and all the W.C.T.U's. and all the other influences for good he speaks of in this memorandum, possibly he might work out the result he hopes for, but even then he would find some difficulty. Therefore, I think the hon. gentleman should hesitate before he launches out into the scheme of which he speaks, to take forty thousand boys between the ages of twelve years and sixteen years away from their homes and put them into those camps of military instruction. Of course, I give my hon. friend credit for seeing that there will be no canteens at these cadet camps. Now, the minister is asking parliament to grant the enormous sum of $8,312,850 for militia expenditure during the coming year, and I know his answer to me will be: Oh, well, that is only, $200,000 or $300,000 more than your government intended to expend.


Samuel Hughes: It is $500,000 less.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I thought the minister would say: You are another. I want to know if it has ever occurred to the hon.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: gentleman that out of this expenditure of over eight million dollars he is giving to the man who is going to shoulder the musket when trouble comes, the soldier of all ranks including non-commissioned officers, less than probably $800,000 in the way of pay. He is spending over eight million dollars for military purposes, and out of that he is spending $800,000 as pay to the men whom he wants to train. If you examine these items you will find that the hon. gentleman admits that the former government had proposed to increase the pay of the privates up to $1.50 a day and chat he only intends to increase their pay up to $1 and even that is contingent on certain things. I want to point out to him one of the unfair features of this increase.
As a matter of fact he only gives the private soldier seventy-five cents a day, but he provides that if it be his second year he is entitled to ten cents extra, and if after that he becomes what is called ' efficient ' he gets fifteen cents a day more. The hon. gentleman says that in the infantry and cavalry the principal test for efficiency shall be skill in shooting, and that is all right. If you are going to have an efficiency test nothing could be fairer than the test of shooting because after all the only thing we can ever hope to teach our militia in this country is something along the lines of organization, and to learn how to shoot. But, how will the minister apply that efficiency test to the " artillery, and to the engineers? It is very much easier to recruit men for the artillery than for the infantry. He will find less difficulty in getting men for the artillery and cavalry because they have horses, and men like to ride horses better than tramping around on foot, and I don't blame them. Therefore, I think there will be found discrimination in this direction. I know that discrimination has existed for some time, but I point out this difficulty to my hon. fiiend, and I ask him if he cannot get around it in some way. The minister is increasing this vote by $405,000, $130,000 of which goes to the cadet movement, but there is an increase of nearly $300,000 for the annual training, and the men, the soldier who is the backbone of the whole thing, the men who form ninety per cent of the whole organization of the militia foice of Canada are going to get an increase in their pay to the magnificent extent of $30,000, just think of it, for the whole .militia force of Canada. My hon. friend is increasing the pay of his general staff, who are very well paid already, by about 40 per cent of that.


Samuel Hughes: There is an increase of $400,000 in the pay of the men. Last year it amounted to $1,325,000; this year is it $1,730,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: That includes fodder, horses and transport. To find out the real increase in the pay of the men, all my hon. friend has to do is to take 60,000 men and multiply that number by 10 or 15 cents a day. The great majority of the men have been getting from 75 cents to $1 a day under the old system. According to his own memorandum my hon. friend is only proposing to increase the pay by $30,000. Out of this $400,000, $130,000 goes to the cadets, $100,000 for four additional days, which means rations, forage, horses and everything else except the pay of the men, who get perhaps a pittance at the end. Then there is the training of all the field artillery, engineers and part of the cavalry at Petawawa; that takes $80,000, and that does not go to the men, but very largely to the railway companies. Then, he is going to take $20,000 for a larger permanent force at the Petawawa camp. I cannot understand this. I think that a force which receives a stated salary all the year round, and a regular allowance for rations, horses, forage, &c., should cost about the same no matter where they are. Then you have the magnificent sum of $30,000 for increasing the pay of the whole militia of Canada. I ask, is this fair? Would it not have been better to have carried out the policy which the late government intended to carry out, and increase the pay up to $1.50 a day, and be done with it? My bon. friend knows that he is not getting any great number of recruits of the right kind. You cannot get the farmers' sons, who are the backbone of any militia force, to leave the farm for 12 or 15 days for such small pay. If we are going to get any benefit from the $8,000,000 which we are spending on the militia, we ought to do something to get the very best men of the country trained, and you cannot get them unless you remunerate them, not so much for their own time, but for the wages they must pay for men to take their places on the farms, or at their places of business. If the minister will, even at this late date, get the consent of His Excellency, I am sure he will get the unanimous consent of parliament to give $1.50 a day to every man who attends camp. I hope he will take this into consideration.


Rodolphe Lemieux: If I remember well, some years ago Lord Strathcona made a certain gift to the Department of Militia, or to Canada, the object of which was the encouragement of drill among the boys at college or in the high schools. The money was to ba divided among the several provinces. If I remember rightly, the province of Nova Scotia accepted the conditions of the gift. I would like to know from the hon. minister first, if other provinces have
agreed to the conditions, and, secondly, how many boys are reported as taking part in the drills, and if officers are sent to drill them from the department at Ottawa or from the military quarters in the different provinces. I would ask my hon. friend also to take a note of a request which has been made to me by one of my old electors in the county of Gaspe, Mr. Letourneau, of Mont Louis. He is an old soldier who served at the military school in Quebec in the year 1870. If my hon. friend will pardon me, I will read that part of the letter which deals with the grant to be made to the veterans who took part in the Fenian raid.	.
It is not very relevant to the item under discussion, but my hon. friend (Mr. Hughes, Victoria, Ont.) will read that portion of the letter in ' Hansard,' and he might perhaps tell me later on what he intends to do in a similar case. Now, here is what this gentleman, writing to me cn the 19th February, from Mont-Louis, county of Gaspe, Quebec, says:
On the 9it'li January, 1870 I entered the Military School at Quebec. My instructors were Captain Fitzgerald of the 9th British. Regiment, the last regiment which helped to garrison Canada, Colonel Bagot, and Major Gagne. Colonel Bagot, who has since died in India, was the examiner and Major Gagne who has since died at Winnipeg was_ the French instructor. During that same winter we had the last Fenian troubles. Colonel Bagot expected, to leave with his regiment at any moment, and he came to the school and asked for the names of those boys who were willing to accompany him. Out of 50 or GO hoys about one half gave their names, and agreed to join the force. I was one of those, but very few of them are living to-day. However the troubles having been repressed in a very short time it was not necessary for us to leave. Colonel Bagot came back to the military school, and made a long speech to the boys -who bad given their names, and Major Gagne repeated this speech in French. If my memory serves me right Colonel Duschenay was then employed at the militia office at Quebec.
The time was a little after confederation.
The names of those who offered their services must have been entered somewhere in the archives, and it seems to me that if the government is going to recompense the veterans I should be one of the number.
This gentleman explains further that he left the school in June 1870, and on the first of September following went to Rome to serve as a Papa'l Zouave. The writer of this letter, Mr. Louis Letourneau, is therefore an old soldier who was ready to serve his country, and he wants to know if, out of the grant that will be made to those who served in the Fenian raid, those who were Teady to leave, but were not called

upon to do so, will be given a grant. These are the two questions I wanted to put to my hon. friend.


James Joseph Hughes: I think the member for Rouville asked a question regarding the number of cadets.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Yes, in the colleges, by provinces.
Mr. HUGiiES (Victoria, Ont.). I do not think I have them by provinces. I may say this much, however, to the credit of the province of Quebec: more than half of the organized cadets come from that province. It has been my privilege to inspect a number of these corps, and they are a most creditable organization. In connection with the training of teachers under the Strathcona Trust, I may say that al'l the provinces now have


Rodolphe Lemieux: What is the amount of that trust?


James Joseph Hughes: About $500,000 I think, but that is only a small item in the whole cost. Under the Strath-ccna Trust all the provinces have accepted and up to date Nova Scotia, being the province which first took it up, has 3,933 teachers regularly trained under that trust, the training being in physical and military drill. New Brunswick has 2,041 regularly trained teachers. Those are the two provinces which took up this training early. Prince Edward Island has 565 British Columbia 378, Quebec 12, outside of their cadets, Ontario 179, Manitoba 415, Saskatchewan 175, and Alberta, 283 teachers already trained under the Strathcona Trust. These teachers carry on their work in the schools at regular periods. Was that all the information the hon. member for Rouville (Mr. Lemieux) wanted?


Rodolphe Lemieux: I would like some statement in regard to the veterans.


James Joseph Hughes: Of course my hon. friend would not ask me to express an opinion off-hand.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Not until the minister has read Mr. Letourneau's letter, which will appear in ' Hansard.'


Samuel Hughes: I will take the case up with the officers of the department. The provisions of the law, of course, have to be satisfied, that the veterans were called out on duty at the time, and if my good friend who made application enlisted in May, 1870, as he did according to the dates given, the chances are that his corps were ordered to the front, and he, as long as they were ordered to the front, although not present with the enemy, I think under the law is entitled to get the grant.


Rodolphe Lemieux: 


Rodolphe Lemieux: Before my hon. friend the minister passes to another subject, we have in Montreal, Quebec and some other cities in that province some independent corps who obtain old -arms from the department for their organization. Does the minister exact from these corps that they should join the militia? Would it not be better that they should regularly form part of the militia force than remain independent corps?


Samuel Hughes: The independent cadet corps are not liable to be called out for service.


Rodolphe Lemieux: Why should they not be in the militia force instead of being independent corps?


Samuel Hughes: I do not know the details in regard to these independent corps, as the question has never arisen before, but I imagine they would not be expected to join the militia, being under age for one very sound reason. It is the first time I knew there were independent corps who were organized and not in the militia. I will give the matter my consideration.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Before the minister leaves that branch of the subject, will he state what is the character of the training which the teachers have received in blew Brunswick? He states in his memorandum that there were in 1911-12 450 teachers, already trained in New Brunswick. Would he give some idea as to the character and training they received? There are female teachers as well as male teachers, and the former would not be available to take to the camps of instruction.


Samuel Hughes: We hope all the male teachers will be. They are all invited to go into camp to get instruction. The matter is fully set out at pages 9 and jl3 of the memorandum. The training under the Strathcona Trust is physical drill for the upbuilding of the physical body


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: That is good.


Samuel Hughes: Secondly, mental development accompanying it, and also a certain amount of the rudimentary military training. If the hon. member has not seen the syllabus, or the books, in connection with this matter, I would be very glad to send copies to him and to other members of the House. They will then see the exact nature of the training that has been carried on for some years under the auspices of the Strathcona Trust. Now, to come to the cadet corps training.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Will the minister tell us fully what is his programme in regard to that?


Samuel Hughes: Does the hon. member mean in regard to the Strathcona Trust or the cadets?


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: They work together.


Samuel Hughes: Australia has now under arms 75,000 cadets. The policy as enunciated by Lord Roberts many years ago when he started this movement in England, which antedates the Scout movement, was that the training of the militiamen of the country of the ages of 20 to 30 should be known by the boy of 12 to 13 years of age-that is, he should understand how to aim and carry a rifle on his shoulder, and so forth, and I am satisfied my hon. friend will agree with me in that.
All that the militia of the past knew in the way of forming fours', and so on, may be seen exemplified in any large public school in the Dominion where the children even much younger than twelve years of age, are trained in the regular hall of the school. It was my privilege to visit Chatham, Ontario, not long ago, where I saw upwards of 900 boys and girls from five to fifteen years, assembled in one hall perform these military evolutions just as correctly and far more systematically than I otften seen half the same number of militiamen perform them on the parade grounds. In other words, the children of to-day are being correctly trained in all the schools in the simple military movements that are about all we learn in camp. The policy pursued .in Great Britain, in Australia and elsewhere where this matteT has been carried on for some time, is to train the boys in shooting. That is, the same principle is followed in training in military work as is carried on in teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. The young man who leaves off the learning of these things until he is twenty-one or upwards, can hardly be made proficient in them. There is no reason why a child of ten or twelve, should not readily grasp all the simple movements of military drill. I do not wish to reproach my hon. friend from Carleton for not having a boy; possibly I should sympathize with him, certainly I would not be harsh with him; but his fear is a good deal like that of the dear old maids, who, as we all know, are always the best posted in the management of children. These old maids and old bachelors are the people whom we find best able to advise us when it comes to a question of how the chidren should be brought up.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I do not come under the hon. gentleman's condemnation; I am not entirely without children.


Samuel Hughes: Then I am sure the hon. gentleman will agiree with me in the policy I lay down. If we wish
children to be a success, whether boys or girls, we must trust them. No boy or girl ever attained high citizenship otherwise. If you want a boy to be a man, trust him. My experience in handling boys and men is that I have trusted the fellows and they have never betrayed the trust.
Now, as to liquor in camp, my experience is that the men in camp who are a disgrace to the service-and unfortunately there are many of them-do not learn in camp to drink liquor; they do not take liquor for the first time in camp. They are the men whom some careless officers, neglectful of their business, have picked up in the last day or two before they go to camp or have had them picked up by the bartenders and sent out as part of their command. These are the men who are a disgrace to the clean, decent fellows who go to camp. I do not wish to particularize my own regiment


Rodolphe Lemieux: If I may be permitted, is it not forbidden to use liquor in camp?


Samuel Hughes: The sale of liquor in camp is forbidden.


Henri Sévérin Béland: Not the drinking?


Samuel Hughes: No. But liquor is not sold in camp. The abuse of liquor in camp is not very pronounced at any time according to my experience; I have not known many camps in which it has been much abused. But a man in uniform is seen drunk-he probably got his liquor down town-and the cry at once is raised, * There is the soldier.' ' It is the camp that has done that.' But the same man at home would probably be intoxicated for hours as against minutes of intoxication in camp. Such a man is a disgrace to civilization, but it is not the camp that has made him so. The United States Military Engineering Corps has charge of all public works, appropriations for the rivers and harbours works of the United States. General McClellan, who was a member of that corps, making a speech at one of the annual gatherings, was able to state that, although hundreds of millions of dollars had been expended by the engineering corps, not a man had been unfaithful to his trust. And this good condition, he attributed largely to the military training instilled into these men as boys. The officer at the head of the Engineering Corps to-day is able to state that in the entire record of the Engineering Corps, made up of the best military engineers in the land, there has never been but one man who proved himself unfaithful to his trust, and never a dollar was required from them in the way of guarantee.


Rodolphe Lemieux: What is the regulation in the United States regarding the sale of liquor in camps?


Samuel Hughes: I do not know. I have not been in any of the American camps.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The hon. gentleman does not propose any change in the regulations here?


Samuel Hughes: No, except so far as the cadet corps is concerned, in that base we provide that no liquor shall be admitted to the camp.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The minister has been giving us a very interesting exhortation on military training in general, but, perhaps, it would be more interesting if he took up the different subjects categorically. I ventured at the beginning to ask him what was his justification for the diversion of the Strathcona Trust by providing that this money for cadet companies ishould be spent in cadet corps camps. I also asked with regard to the increased pay which my non. friend from Carleton (Mr. Carvell), referred to.
MU. HUGHES (Victoria). I obtained permission of the hon. member from Carle-ton (Mr. Carvell), to answer the member for Eouville (Mr. Lemieux), first. I have not forgotten the hon. member for Pictou (Mr. Macdonald).


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The first shall be last.


Samuel Hughes: Yes, but not least. I was answering the hon. member for Carleton (Mr. Carvell). In the city of Toronto where for nearly forty years the boys have been trained from much younger than ten years, not a boy in that city who received the cadet training has ever appeared before the police court. Wherever the military training has been instilled into the boys, the record shows, the boy has some pride, some manhood, that might not be his otherwise. To put it in another way, such a boy may not be all right, but he is a better fellow than he would have been without the training. And men in the service who indulge in liquor, as referred to by the hon. member for Carleton (Mr. Carvell), do not learn that in camp. I have no hesitation in making that statement. It has not been my experience to see that sort of thing carried on. If it is carried1 on, the officers who are in charge or responsible are unfit to wear the uniform of the corps to which they belong. As to the evil influences of camp life, I have never seen them. One would hear more improper language on the street corner of any country village than he hears in camp. There are more improper influ-Mr. HUGHES (Victoria).
ences in the low bars of cities and towns than are to be found in all the camps of the Dominion. I have not observed these low influences in connection with the militia camps, and wherever such have existed it is because of men brought out by some careless captain to fill up his ranks at the last moment; and all that will be remedied, if it is possible to remedy it, at an early day.
Now the hon. member for Carleton, N.B. (Mr. Carvell) said something about the ishooting. I am sorry I cannot agree with him about the pay. I would like to see them all paid good high wages. But the city corps of this country, and they are nearly as well set up as the country boys, give their time year after year drawing no money for it whatever; in other words, they put the money in the regimental fund and spend it on a field day or two during the year; but not a man of them draws a dollar for his own personal use throughout the year. It is my hope in a few years to see that carried out with the entire militia of the country. Now with regard to the shooting. The infantry and the cavalry are trained to shoot with a rifle. The artillery get their allowance for gun practice and it goes to the battery. But I agree with my hon. friend, I have never liked this provision of the pay. This year we are giving them 75 cents straight pay, instead of the 50 cents which was divided up for a number of things. My desire was to make it a straight pay of 75 cents a day, and let it go at that. That was my own personal Sesire, but others have thought differently. 75 cents a day with rations is not a bad pay for a young fellow who puts in a week or two.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: On whose recommendation is the efficiency pay paid?


Samuel Hughes: That is paid on the test for shooting, it is on the record made at the target.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I never understood that any efficiency pay reached the members of an artillery corps on account of shooting. If there is, it is something I never heard of 'before.


Samuel Hughes: It goes to the battery, and it is divided up among them.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: It must be a late regulation.


Samuel Hughes: I don't know anything about that, it goes to the battery. I do not know whether it is divided up among the men or used for general purposes, but it is their own money, and they spend it as they choose. Now

as to the Petawawa camp. The only large training area in the Dominion of Canada inow is the Petawawa camp. Troops from all over the Dominion are brought there at great expense for training. It is our intention to have in every military division a similar training area, perhaps not so large, and we can pay for it. See what can be saved. Take the extra pay now spent in freight, and in bringing these men from their own distant province to Petawawa, and with that money we can fit a training area almost at a man's own door in every province, not only for selected corps, hut for the entire troops, who may turn out for two or three days' *manoeuvers. Now I will come to my hon. friend from Pictou (Mr. Macdonald), I have kept him for the last because, being my adviser, counsellor and friend, I will .wind up with him. He has referred to the general policy of the cadet system. My idea is that the 'best way to create a militia is to train the youth of the *country. I have absolute faith in a boy of ten, twelve and fifteen years of age, he is as capable of controlling himself, and in 999 cases out of 1,000, does control himself as well as a man. Who has not seen boy scouts, little lads of 6, 8, 9 years of age conducting themselves like men? I saw in the city of Toronto last year young lads coming from the county of Waterloo 50 or 70 miles away, camping along the roadside at night, with no guides, - not having their parents with them, and yet they were keeping themselves perfectly straight. They conducted themselves like perfect gentlemen while they were coming to camp, and- returning from the camp. Don't be afraid to trust the boys, and you will never have reason to regret it. When young lads of this age have got a practical experience, they wall never forget it. Look at the boys' camps conducted all over Canada by the various schools and colleges. There is hardly a school that has not a boys' club, there is hardly a church or Christian association that has not a boys' club. They go at their own expense for three or four days in camp, and the result is a splendid upbuilding of the manhood of these boys. Why should we be afraid to trust the boys going to these camps? There is no danger that they will not be well looked after. I can tell my hon. friend that from every province in this Dominion I have offers from teachers and clergymen, from the Young Men's Christian Associations, from the Salvation Army, asking .me if they can be of any service in the camps, and offering to give their time freely in order to help the lads along. More than that, the Women's Christian Associations in many cases are taking the matter up and propose looking after these lads in their own localities. I have no fear whatever for
these camps. I am satisfied that a boy who is trained to act on his own responsibility can be trusted.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The hon. gentleman mentions offers that come from all these sources, are they for the purpose of encouraging the minister in the course he is taking, or is it because they are afraid of the consequences and are trying to minimize them as much as possible?


Samuel Hughes: The men of the Young Men's Christian Association who are taking this matter up have only the desire to build up the manhood of the boys. Take Mr. Gartshore, of Toronto, take Colonel Langton, who have waited upon us and said, Your movement is the greatest thing that ever struck this country. One gentleman representing the cadet corps of a city in Quebec came to me and said: Will you give me a marquee to go into camp, I want to be out with my boys, I want to keep the boys from my school under my own eyes. I said, yes, I will give you a marquee. The Y.M.C.A. leaders have told me: We have 20 trained expert physical instructors, which we will add to your military instructors, and it will not cost you a cent. They are interested in the upbuilding of the youth. They do not go through the world fearing to trust the boys and fearing to trust the girls.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: As I understand the minister, it is not his purpose to mix the cadet corps with the ordinary militia. May I ask him then under whose control the cadet corps will be?


Samuel Hughes: There will be officers appointed especially to look after them.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: Will they have their own instructors?


Samuel Hughes: So far as possible. As I have said, we have already offers from Y.M-C.A.'s of Canada of 20 permanent instructors, and we h,ave offers of assistance from the various schools and colleges of instructors for the cadet corps.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: The instructor who has been with the boys at school knows them better and is more capable, if he is a capable instructor, of taking charge of them than any person else.


Samuel Hughes: That is Tight.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: I have been a very warm supporter all my life of this cadet corps movement. But, I would warn the minister against making it a militant movement as some of the parents might object to their children taking part in a militia movement who would not object to them being

members of a cadet corps in connection with a school. It gives the boys a fine training and many of them become excellent militia officers in after life. As far as the cadet corps at home is concerned, the instructor there is a most capable man and it is a very great satisfaction not only to the city but to the surrounding country to observe the proficiency which these cadets display in drill. These boys are quite capable of going to camp if they are not mixed up with the regular militia. The Boy Scouts in our section of the country go off to camp with imeir instructor. He takes charge and generally the Y.M.C.A. sends somebody who assists him. If that policy is followed out I do not see what harm can come to these boys. I would not like to see militarism, or the expense of the militia increased in this country. I can tell the minister that most of the people are opposed to the militia expenditure increasing. I believe in bringing the militia into a condition of systematic service and I would support the minister in any movement he makes towards that end. At the same time I would advise him very strongly to keep a watchful eye on the expenditure. No matter what he may have to do let him keep the expenditure down. I see that the amount proposed to be expended for the training of the cadet corps is $130,000. This is not to provide pay for the individuals, but it is simply to pay their expenses, which is nothing but right. If camps are carefully surrounded with safeguards, if liquor of all kinds is kept out of them and if they are under the care of the instructors of the cadets who know the individuals, it appears to me that much good may come out of them. An important point in the training of a boy is to know something of his disposition and if this movement is watched carefully and not allowed to become too closely associated with militarism it ought to serve a good purpose.


Samuel Hughes: The line as laid down by my hon. friend from Oxford (Mr. Nesbitt) is exactly the line that I purpose pursuing. Where there is a cadet corps, if there is any instructor, it may be one of the boys themselves, or it may be one of their teachers, that officer is going to be brought out if we can get him. Although there has been no attempt to specially organize it yet we have heard of hundreds and thousands of teachers and instructors of the very character that my hon. friend speaks of who would be ready to take part in these camps. I heartily agree with my hon. friend when he says that the only way to manage these boys is to trust them. Take a military camp-if they are positively forbidden in blood and thunder terms to use liquor with all sorts of penalties to be imposed upon them if they vio-Mr. NESBITT.
late the law, the chances are that the spirit that is dominant in humanity will find vent and it simply comes down to this that the more you attempt to repress them the more liable they are to break out. I could point to camps where men have been informed that liquor could be obtained in the town adjoining, but their attention was drawn to the fact that it could not be conceived to be possible that any young gentleman wearing the uniform of a British soldier and coming out of a decent home would be found hanging around such a place as a saloon. I could point to a camp where, out of 3,000 or 3,500 men only two were found to be drunk during the twelve days.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: That largely depends on the officers in immediate touch with the men.


Samuel Hughes: Certainly. My hon. friend spoke also of the boy scouts going to camp. If those camps can be carried out successfully this plan can also be carried out without any trouble. As to cutting down expenses, I might explain that we will drill over 100,000 men and boys. If my hon. friend will notice the militia statement, he will see that the expenses have been pretty well cut down, and I can assure the committee that the country will get a dollar's worth for every dollar that is voted, so long as I have any responsibility in connection with this matter. I might point out to my hon. friend that if we go on with these cadet camps, in three or four years we will have a large number of young men of from 14 to 16 years of age, who will be available for the militia. It should not be forgotten that the battle of Alma was won by boys under 17 years of age, that there were many boys in the squares at Waterloo, that Wolfe was a young man when he captured Quebec, and that Washington was a young man when he led the army across the Alleghennies. So that, it is evident that a man does not have to be very old, in order to make a good soldier. Those who are trained young, will learn quickly, and they will keep hold of what they have learned. These boys, in three-or four years, will be able to take their places in the ranks of the militia. With these camp areas, the boys, in place of going out for a Thanksgiving holiday, would be only too glad, having their expenses paid, to go out for four or five days and manoeuvre over an area of ten or twelve square miles. In that way, they would learn more in a day than they would in six or eight weeks of hay-foot, straw-foot drill in the ordinary militia camp. My hon. friend from Oxford, said that he would endorse the proposal that these men should not have any connection with the militia. I propose to introduce a Bill to-morrow to prevent that very thing. At the present

time, under the law, these cadets may be brought out, but they must be brought out in connection with the active militia. I do not want that at all. I have very great respect for the active militia, but I want the boys to be brought out under a different method, so that, instead of being brought into camp and placed alongside of these men, some of whom have not the habits which we would like them to have, they shall go into camp apart from the active militia.


Mr. KAY.: Would the minister state what part of this additional four days' training will be devoted to target practice, and also whether the men will have to -qualify in shooting to earn efficiency pay?


Samuel Hughes: I think this efficiency pay is for shooting. As to the additional four days' training, we will follow whatever syllabus is laid down by the officer in command of the camp.


William Frederic Kay: The reason I asked the question was, that hitherto the militia man has been taken into camp for twelve days' training. He was required to qualify to get a high average at the butts in shooting before he could get his efficiency pay. He was only allowed one day's shooting at the butts. I maintain that it is very unfair to expect a man to learn to shoot accurately without giving him a chance to practise.


Samuel Hughes: Quite right.


William Frederic Kay: For that reason there has been a good deal of dissatisfaction and a great deal of dishonesty practised at the ranges.


Samuel Hughes: That is right.


William Frederic Kay: I would be very sorry to see the efficiency pay dependent on a man's being able to shoot well.


Samuel Hughes: I agree with the hon. gentleman (Mr. Kay), and I have objected in toto to>
the efficiency pay being * given in the way it has been given. But, a great change has been made. What we have done to meet the views of my hon. friend (Mr. Kay) is this:	Every soldier
must take his aiming drill, then he must take his sub-target or practice with a miniature rifle, then he is permitted to tire once or twice or thrice in practice. I established that rule two years ago in my own camp, and I find that it now obtains all over the country. Under the present system, with two or three days' practice, nearly every boy can qualify for his efficiency pay. I think the experience last year was that the efficiency pay was honestly obtained and the shooting was fine. Under the former system the noor lads were brought into camp, a rifle was put in their hands, and, although perhaps they had never pulled a trigger before, they were told they had
to make so many bullseyes out of so many shots or they would not get efficiency pay. The lads had no chance of getting efficiency pay under that system. That has been changed in the last two years, and I am satisfied that this year will see greater opportunities for the boys to practice before they are counted out of their efficiency pay.


William Thomas White: Would the minister please inform me what arms of the militia service will train at Retawawa during the coming year Will there be any infantry corps trained there?


Samuel Hughes: The Retawawa camp is largely for the permanent force and artillery and cavalry. I have not looked into the details, which I leave to the officers in charge, but I believe the intention is to bring as many of the artillery and cavalry and permanent coTps there as possible.


William Thomas White: Does the Minister oi Militia not think that it would be advisable to have every branch in the service trained there, so that the infantry corps when they are not being drilled themselves could see the different other branches of the service in training?


Samuel Hughes: I think that would be advisable.


William Thomas White: I would submit that for the consideration of the Minister of Militia.


Samuel Hughes: The view of my hon. friend (Mr. White) may possibly be carried out. It is the intention, in the case of the infantry from this district, to send them to Petawiwa, but to bring them from all over the country would involve tremendous expense. There is no doubt great advantage in having all the different arms of the service_,in training together so that they may get an idea of what the conditions would be in active service.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Is the time occupied in travelling to and from camp included in the sixteen days' training?


Samuel Hughes: The intention is that sixteen days shall be put in in camp.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The travelling would be extra?


Samuel Hughes: Yes.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I cannot agree that it is good policy to take an artillery corps all the way from the maritime provinces to Petawawa.


Samuel Hughes: I d'on't think so either.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I think that is an error of judgment.

5472.


Samuel Hughes: I agree exactly on that; I don't want them to go.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Does the hon. gentleman realize what it means to take sixty or sixty-five horses and a hundred men, and all the equipment of a field battery nearly one thousand miles to a camp of instruction? Perhaps the battery with which I was once connected would like the jaunt, but the owners of the best horses would certainly not allow them to be transported to Petawawa unless the minister supplied palace horse cars.


Samuel Hughes: Nothing is too good for Woodstock.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I do not think you can get the efficient training unless you have the four main branches of the service: engineers, artillery, cavalry, and infantry in a camp.


Samuel Hughes: Don't you want the medical corps?


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: If all our militia men were the saints the minister thinks they are they would not require a medical man, but I think the services of the medical corps would be necessary in most camps. Why is it that the minister does not give the infantry the extra four days training, the same as the other branches of the service? I believe that the infantry would learn more in the additional four days than they) would1 in the other nine. There must be a reason for that.


Samuel Hughes: There is no special reason except economy, and the fact that in the days before my hon. friend (Mr. Carvell), graced the militia with his presence in it, they used to go to camp for sixteen days, and it was found to be a failure. When, this year, it was proposed that the infantry should go to camp for sixteen days, the men in many localities raised objections, and as in the past we had got along with twelve d'ays training, I thought I would not force it on the infantry for this year, and besides, to be frank, I wanted to economize, so as to justify as far as possible the cadet corps expenditure.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The minister has not explained why it is necessary to spend twenty thousand dollars extra to take a portion of the permanent corps to Petawawa.


Samuel Hughes: It takes $140,000 or more to transport the troops to these camps.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: It surely would not cost $20,000 extra to transport the permanent force.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: 


Samuel Hughes: The Chief of the General Staff has laid out this plan in conformity ywith the wishes of my predecessor, and 1 have not altered it in the slightest. The troops are being brought from all over the country in order that they may get the benefit of being drilled in great masses over a large area. The transport from Halifax will cost $3,000, from Toronto $2,000, from Kingston $1,000, from St. John $1,000, from Winnipeg $5,000, and horses and baggage $4,700-more.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The , minister's memorandum at the bottom of page 5 says:
Soldiers who have trained the previous year will receive ten cents a day additional, and those who are found ' efficient ' in the particular arm of -the service to which they belong will receive fifteen cents day efficiency pay.
Will that apply only to men who were in camp the previous year, or will it apply also to men who were in camp two years before and for some reasonable cause were not able to attend last year?


Samuel Hughes: The intention is that it will be only for the men who drilled in the immediately preceding year, the object being to encourage them to attend the drill successively from year to year.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Then I am afraid that the minister will find that many men will be trained under different names from their own.


Samuel Hughes: That will be watched.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Is the policy still to be followed of compelling the commanding officers to have their recruiting done five or six days before going to camp, or are they to be allowed to recruit at any time before going into camp? In some portions of the country I know that this has been not only a hardship, but a regular farce, because, especially in rural corps, there are many men who do not know until the last hour whether they can go to camp or not. If you compelled them to enlist at least six days before going to camp, there are thousands of men all over Canada of the very class that we want ho train, who will not be able to give a decided answer within that time. The result will be that the commanding officers will sometimes sign for the full complement of men six days before they go to camp, inserting the name3 of John Jones or John Smith, and at the last moment taking such men as they can get.


Samuel Hughes: The list can now be filled to the day of going into

camp. At one of the camps a couple of years ago one young officer came with about 60 men; another came with only 10 or 12 men. The latter, being asked why 'he had not more men, blamed the service roll and the small pay. The other man, 'on being asked how he got so many men, said he always carried his service roll in hi3 pocket, and a couple of nights after 'he returned from camp he would have a dance, and any one who enrolled in the militia was allowed to go there, and the young ladies were invited to come, and consequently he said every year he had four times the number of men required; he never failed to bring out a full company because he looked after the matter 365 days of the year.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The hon. minister did not discuss to any great extent the question I ventured to raise in regard to the cadet corps. He has told us, on page 10 of his memorandum, that his system of military and physical training in the schools was first agreed upon under the provisions of the Strathcona Trust by the Militia Department and the Board of Education of the province of Nova Scotia in 1907. That system formed the nucleus of the system throughout the Dominion. Nova Scotia was the only province that had any teachers who were instructed and gave any instruction in the schools in 1907. Then came New Brunswick in 1910, and the other provinces, I understand, have only come in last year. Even with them all coming in my hon. friend says:
This year the courses in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Ontario hiad to be materially reduced on account of lack of funds.
I presume that is because the funds of the Trust, supplemented by the grants of the provinces, are insufficient to enable these schools to be operated. If that is so, has the Board of the Strathcona Trust or has Lord Strathcona himself, any judgment with regard to the matter, or consented to any portion of the funds of the Trust being used to enable the .schools to go to camp? If the scheme is a good one, it would appear to me that it would have been better for the minister first to have seen that an ample number of instructors were supplied to all the schools rather than to make what seems to be a doubtful experiment in taking the boys and girls to camp.
Then I would like the minister to tell me where the camps, which he proposes to inaugurate, are to be held. He said in a general way that they would be held in every county. My hon. friend will see that by a vote such as is proposed here, he cannot furnish sufficient, facilities to hold the camp in every county in the Dominion
in which these cadet corps may be. I would like him to give me full details in regard to all these matters.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. member will recollect that the estimates were not passed last year until very late, and that is the reason there were no funds available for carrying on the work, as referred to in the paragraph which he has read. The Strathcona Trust itself exercises no control, and does not attempt to exercise any, over the young lads throughout the country.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Except to this extent, that the money is granted to that trust on certain conditions.


Samuel Hughes: It is all done through the .provincial institutions


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Under a special agreement made with each province which sets out the details.


Samuel Hughes: It is done by the executive councils for the Strathcona Trust of Canada, through the Militia Council of the Militia Department, in conjunction with the Minister of Education in each province.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Does not the department seek the consent of the Minister of Education in each province to the proposition?


Samuel Hughes: Why should that consent be asked? We do not ask the consent of the provincial authorities when we are calline out the men for the militia camps. This is a federal government.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: But my hon. friend misapprehends the situation. There exists in certain provinces of the Dominion -to a greater extent in some, and to a lesser extent in others-a system of instruction along military lines in schools, which is the result of the agreement that has been arrived at between the trustees of a trust inaugurated by Lord Strathcona and the various provincial governments. I have under my hands a form of agreement with one of the provinces which sets out in detail how this instruction is to be carried on. One of the stipulations in regard to the expenditure of money is, that 50 per cent be devoted to looking after the physical training of the boys. A certain proportion only is to be devoted to military training, and another portion to rifle snooting. J\ow that is the basis upon which this whole system of, military instruction in the schools and amongst the cadets of the country has been built up.
-Mr. HUGHES (Victoria). Oh, no, the cadet system existed in the country long before the Strathcona Trust was formed.
547d


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I know that, tout I am speaking of the cadet corps in Nova Scotia as recently formed under the Strathcona Trust. Now. I submit, the minister should not say that this vote to take boys from the public schools and send them to camp, is one in regard to which the opinion of the educational authorities in each province should not be had. I think my hon. friend should have taken the precaution of consulting with the provinces who are expending money in looking after the education of these teachers before he decided on this policy.
Take the agreement between Nova Scotia and the Strathcona Trust. The teachers, who are officials of the Nova Scotia government, come under that agreement. They receive certain special grants from the province as the result of their	attending	and receiving	military
instruction, and so on. Now my hon. friend the Minister of Militia steps in and says: We are going to spend $130,000 in taking the boys and girls of the public schools to camp.
Mr.	HUGHES	(Victoria).	No,	we are
not taking the girls.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: You are taking the lady teachers.
Mr.	HUGHES	(Victoria).	I am notaware	of it.	-Mr.	MACDONALD. You	said	a little
while ago that you were going to take the lady teachers to camp.


Samuel Hughes: I must have been misunderstood. I never heard of that before.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I certainly did understand the minister to say that a short time ago. But if it is not his intention that the lady teachers should go to camp, we will eliminate that feature from the discussion. My hon. friend then is proposing to take the 'boys from the public schools of the country.


Samuel Hughes: The 'boys in the schools or out of the schools-every boy who wishes to come, in nroportion to the number from each district, whether he does or does not attend school, whether he belongs to a regular cadet corps or does not.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I question very much the wisdom of the minister's policy. He is departing from the well considered lines as laid down in the settlement which was, I think, agreed to by each one of the provinces in the Dominion this last year on the basis of this Strathcona Trust.


Samuel Hughes: Not at all.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: My hon. friend proposes to disregard it.


James Joseph Hughes: 


Samuel Hughes: Not at all.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The minister says he is going to take cadets to camp no matter whether it conflicts with the idea of the Strathcona Trust or not.


Samuel Hughes: Not at all.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I submit that the Strathcona Trust proposition is one which was well considered, it has received the approval of each of the provincial governments, and the minister should follow the lines of that trust and carry out that policy. If he does so I am satisfied that the results which he discussed so eloquently which would follow from giving the advantage of a military training to the young of the country would accrue to a very much greater extent than if he follows other lines without regard to that trust.


Samuel Hughes: We are not departing in the slightest from the Strathcona Trust.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: You are ignoring it.


Samuel Hughes: Not in the slightest, any more than we are ignoring any organization in the country over which we have no control. As a matter of fact the hon. member will be called upon I trust in a very short time to discuss the Strathcona Trust Cadet movement. This is a very different movement entirely. That is a matter in connection with the schools to which we are giving assistance in every way. We are giving our encouragement and the very best instructors we can get, just the same as with the military schools of the country, *the hon. gentleman would be just as much justified in saying we were running counter to the military schools by having these camps of instruction. The two go hand-in-hand, in their proper spheres, and we are not interfering with them. If this were to be called the Boy Scout movement where would my hon. friend be?


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Are you taking the Boy Scouts into camp?


James Joseph Hughes: 'A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.' You can call them junior militia if you like, call them anything, but I prefer to use the term which has been attached to this scout movement from time immemorial, long before the Stratcbcona Trust was formed. It is a magnificent institution, which is not surpassed in any country in the world, and we are endorsing it to the fullest extent in our Militia policy.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: You are not asking the provincial authorities anything about this question.
547?


Samuel Hughes: We do not consult the provincial authorities about the military camps, why should we do so in this case.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: But you have the cadet corps by reason of your agreement with the provincial authorities.


Samuel Hughes: Not at all. These are not cadet corps, that is where the hon. member makes a mistake.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Look at the agreement with the provincial government and you will find it.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. member is opposing this regularly organized cadet corps movement which will take the boys from localities where regularly organized cadet corps were never heard of, and where the Strathcona Trust has not yet reached. I hope the hon. member will see that. I know he wants to be fair and if by my explanations I can make the matter clear to him I will be very glad to do it. There are many sections of the country where young men do not go to school at all. These lads, between the ages prescribed, will be permitted to go to camp in proportion to the number volunteering from the district. I think we will see that point clearly. These are places where neither the cadet corps nor the Strathcona Trust exists, but if a boy happens to have been trained under the" Strathcona Trust that will not prevent his coming to camp as a militiaman. We have in the ranks of our militiamen many young men who have been trained as cadets and they are among the best volunteers that we have.
Mr< MACDONALD. In view of the position the Minister is taking I will quote from the agreement made between the Strathcona Trust and the province of Nova Scotia to the following effect:
The Militia Department will draft a syllabus of the work required to be done by a school or college cadet corps in order to entitle a teacher to ithe annual bonus, and will conduct the necessary examinations. Until cadet corps possess in their officers qualified instructors, this work of instruction will be carried out by instructors detailed bv the .Militia Department, so far a practicable.
Now I say that in my province the cadet corps owe their existence very largely, if not exclusively, to the work that was done under the Strathcona Trust.
I know that there are cadet corps in other provinces which existed before the Strathcona Trust was organized. And when I say to my hon. friend that he should have consulted the provincial authorities that had to do with these questions before he decided to take the cadet corps, which are chiefly in the public schools, he will say 174
that there are other cadet corps. I know there are. But I say that, as regards those provinces, where the cadet corps have been developed as the result of the Strathcona Trust, under an agreement similar to that I have in my hand, it was a serious thing for the minister to act without consultation with the provincial authorities in regard to this innovation, which he is introducing. If this movement is a good one, he might have made it a concerted movement and one that will not interfere with, but will enhance the value of the Strathcona Trust. His failure to do this may result in some provinces in danger of injury to what has been brought about by the Strathcona Trust.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman (Mr. Macdonald), insists on confusing the two things. The Strathcona Trust has nothing to do with that which is now before us. We are paying thousands and tens of thousands for instructors to train these teachers. But that is to assist the provinces. We are not calling upon the provinces to assist us in this. These are two distinct movements. You might properly call these organizations, scouts, or young engineers, or anything else. But the name ' cadet,' has been attached to these organizations of boys, and we have held to the name. But I do not see how the hon. member cannot see that there is no conflict whatever.


Henri Sévérin Béland: I share the views of my hon. friend from Pictou (Mr. Macdonald) in regard to the advisability of providing such an amount of $130,000 for the training of youths in camps* during the summer. I understand that boys will be recruited for this training between the ages of twelve and sixteen. I quite understand that the minister is guided by his zeal and boundless enthusiasm in military organization. But I think this scheme is objectionable on many grounds, moral, economic and other. I do not object to providing substantial and sufficient sums for defence, either military or naval; I have given ample proof of that in the past. But I think that now the hon. minister is overdoing the thing. For myself, while taking the classical course in college, I received some military instruction from an instructor who used to come there. But 1 cannot refrain from saying that we should pause, we should stop and think, before launching upon this new project. This is a new departure, and I am not very sure that it is a wise one. It means this year an expenditure of $130,000. That may be a small amount relatively to the whole, but it will grow larger and larger every year. We



are spending now $8,000,000 a year for our militia. The hon. member for South York (Mr. Maclean) the other day said that we might offer $10,000,000 as a contribution to the British navy and also organize a Canadian navy, which would probably involve an expenditure of $5,000,000 more- say $15,000,000 for the navy and $8,000,000 for the miiitia. And this for a country that claims not to be a militarist country. And the minister states that we .are training today about 60,000 men. That is quite a number for a country with a population of about 7,000,000. Apply the same proportion to countries with populations of sixty to eighty millions, and i't would be a huge amount of training annually. The same principles do not apply to European countries that apply to Canada. We are not a militarist country. I really take very strong objection to training in camp youths of from twelve to fifteen years of age. I would very humbly suggest to the minister that he should allow this thing to stand for a year. Then, if he wishes, let him come back with the item next year and we will discuss it. In the meantime, we can see what the provincial authorities think of it and learn the feelings of the country generally. I think this is a fair proposition to make to the hon. minister. It seems to me that we are marching very .fast in the direction of militarism. I urge the minister not to be carried away by his zeal and enthusiasm.


Samuel Hughes: I am much surprised to -hear the hon. member for Beauce (Mr. Belaud) speak as he has done considering the training he received as a cadet. But I realize that his words of today have not the ring of sincerity that usually characterizes his utterances, but he is only endeavouring to assist the hon. piember for Pietou (Mr. Macdonald) out of the unfortunate dilemma into which he has got hiim-self by confusing the cadet organization, which is largely a matter of physical drill and is under the control of the -provinces, with the cadet organization which is intended, -I have no hesitation in saying, to do away largely with the system of training the military as now carried on in this country. Let me -point out at the outset that nobody will be allowed to go into camp under this system unless he has the written authority of his parents. Therefore, if my hon. friend has doubts as to -the propriety of his children going into one of these camps, those children will -be left at home. The system is purely voluntary. There is no ground for the dread with which the hon. member for P-ictou (Mr. Macdonald) and the hon. member for Beauce (Mr. Beland) regard -these boys going into camp, because those camps -will be -conducted under proper conditions. The manhood of any country is built up by Mr. BELAND.
trust and not by restraint, not by keeping men in swaddling clothes or tied to apron strings Search the recorl of all lands and you always find that the boys who have become the real men of the country are those who have been trusted in their youth. 1 nave yet to see the boy or youth who was fully trusted betray the trust reposed in him Our estimates are growing. But my hon friend from Beauce (Mr. Beland) sat here anticipating a position as minister of the Crown for a good many years, and saw the military estimates growing year by year, yet found no reason to stand up and, with lowering countenance, object to the in crease. I have reduced the military estimates this year. And, taking out the items on capital account, the military estimates, considering the number of troops trained and the work done, are almost infinitely lower than they have been in the past five years. Yet now, for the first time, the hon. member grows apprehensive. But I kno v he is not very serious. I trust to have him take part in the camps this summer. Let him become a scout leader and lead his boys along the road to the camp. Let him look after his boys, and I am satisfied he will be much more favourable to the training of these boys in camp.
Let us instruct boys in a military education, the same as we instruct them in reading, writing and arithmetic. Do it when they are young, you cannot do it when they are old. I challenge all the military men in the country to show me one proficient military man who did not receive a military training in his boyhood. I am satisfied that the hon. gentleman himself, when he goes back home, will undertake to form a cadet corps in his neighbourhood.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: My hon. friend's versatility is so amusing that, as the proposition was not a serious one, you could hardly understand him discussing it in the way he does. I wish to register my protest against the proposition that we should vote $130,000 for the purpose of establishing cadet camps in this country, in utter disregard of the provisions of the Stratheona fund, and the efforts the trustees of that fund have made and the arrangements they have made with provincial governments. My hon. friend, in his memorandum, under the heading of the cadet corps, has gone into the thing very fully on pages 7 and 11. He shows that the cadet corps are the product of the schools under which the Stratheona Trust are expending the money. I say the minister is displaying a lack of care, and is imperilling the whole system that has been built up by the Stratheona fund.


Samuel Hughes: The Strath-cona trust has nothing whatever to do

with the cadet system. The Strathcoua trustees work altogether with the schools. The two are entirely distinct.


William Frederic Kay: The minister said a few moments ago that the infantry men had objected to the four days additional training.


Samuel Hughes: Some of them.


William Frederic Kay: May I ask if the cavalry men were anixous for the four days additional?


Samuel Hughes: Most of the infantry reports say they are in favour of 16 days; so are the officers of the cavalry association. We have not heard from the rank and file yet.


William Frederic Kay: It appears to me that this four days additional will mean a large decrease in the number of men who are willing to go out and be trained, it will also mean a great difficulty in getting officers. An officer's holidays, if he is in business, are only about two weeks. At present he is giving all his holidays to the militia service, and I do not think it will be possible for him to give to that service any more than the two weeks he is now given as holidays. As to the rank and file, they are drawn from among the farmers' sons. They are assembled between the 15th and the end of June, when work is comparatively slack. I do not think it will be possible to get them to give up three weeks of thedr time, because haying usually commences about that time.


Samuel Hughes: The views of the hon. gentleman are my own views. In the old time I filled in 16 days in camp. But my predecessor and the officers of the force have been petitioning for this, the Cavalry Association and the Artillery Association have asked for it, and it was all cut and dried, I believe, nearly a year agp, that this should be done. I did not wish to step in and, with a wave of the hand, to cancel the arrangement, and run counter to the wishes of the department. Therefore, I let it go so far as the cavalry and artillery are concerned1, because they seemed to want it.- We will try it for one year. But it is not too late to change it yet.


Mr. CLARK (Red Deer).: Before this item passes, I would like to put myself on record as being in (Sympathy with the words of apprehension which have been spoken by the hon. member for Bea-uce (Mr. Beland). I am afraid, however, that anything I may say on this question will fall on unsympathetic ears in the person of my hon. friend the Minister of Militia (Mr. Hughes). Of course, it is natural that I should view things a little differently from him on this question, because, as he 174i
has pointed out, in a measure truthfully, an early training has a great deal to do with one's future thinking and attitude upon public questions. I spent a great many years at the university learning to save life, if possible; my hon.' friend's profession, when it is practised, has a contrary effect. Now, I am not so sure but that when men are in an emergency they would just about as soon go to a doctor as to my hon. friend. It is one of the peculiarities of human life, one of the mysteries of the world, that when people go out and kill one another, they take means for restoring them in case they have not performed the operation successfully which they undertook when they went out to the field of batt'e. That is one.of the peculiarities of the world, which I think is leading a large portion of the inhabitants of this country to look upon it with a little less enthusiasm than burns in the martial bosom of my hon. friend. I am not sure that the public of Canaua do not sympathize more with me upon that question than with my hon. friend1. In regard to these cadet corps, I am not sure that my
hom.	friend is historically correct. He knows much more about military matters than I do, and I think he challenged the House to produce eases of men becoming good soldiers who had not been trained in, their youth. If he deigns to look at this point again, I would like him to tell me where Cromwell's army learned their soldiering. They were not trained' soldiers, they had to meet trained soldiers, and in the end they succeeded better than the regularly trained men of the day. In Canada we have a number of men in the western provinces who use their guns, not in shooting one another, but who are good marksmen; and I am certain that without any cadet training, or without going into camps, numbers of these men, if occasion arose, would give a splendid account of themselves although they have not undergone this regular drill. There are cases in history of volunteers having proved better than regularly trained men. I think my
hon.	friend does not carry me on that point.
We have a great deal to do in this great country with a very small population. I view with apprehension the extreme enthusiasm of my hon. friend. His enthusiasm is leading to some good work in this way that he is devoting himself, with that tremendous energy of his, to his department, and he has been very courteous in sending out to us, along the line of the work that he is engaged in, full information in a way which is most commendable. I can only -wish that he would devote his enthusiasm to saving men's lives instead of destroying them. Of course, that is the

fault of my early training. I do not think that the business of killing has taken hold of the Canadian people as it has of many of the nations of Europe and as it seems to have taken hold of my hon. friend. I am certain that there is a large sympathy with this line of thought. This seems an enormous sum of money-over 8 million dollars. I am going to anticipate a possible answer that has already been made. I must say as something of a party politician that I rose with some reluctance because I anticipated what the minister said in reply to another hon. member that there was not much protest in regard to the mounting militia expenditure during the time of the last government. But, that is not a fair criticism to apply to this cadet movement because this is a new thing. The appeal of my hon. friend from Beauce (Mr. Beland) is well worthy of consideration that we should go very carefully in this matter.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman has spent his life in saving people.


Michael Clark: I said I went to the university to learn how.


Samuel Hughes: Most of us avoid the doctors; in fact, doctor's mistakes are always buried six feet underground and lawyer's six feet over ground. The hon. member referred to Cromwell's army. Now every man in Cromwell's army was skilled in the use of the quarter-staff. These young men were not only experienced musketeers but they were skilled in the use of the quarter-staff which became the sabre and the spear and that is the reason why the rank and file, achieved their victory over the cavaliers. The hon. gentleman speaks of western men. There is not a man in the west but has been trained to the saddle and trained to shoot, almost from the time of his birth. They are born cadets and that is the kind of knowledge that I am trying to inculcate here.
At six o'clock House took recess.

Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Yesterday, the Prime Minister himself asked that this Bill should stand for some reason, and in his absence now, it would be well to allow it to stand further until the right hon. gentleman can give his views upon it.


Mr. CLARK (Rad Deer).: 


Mr. FRIPP.: The Prime Minister has no objection to this Bill, so far as I know. It stood because I was not here at the moment.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The reason given by the Prime Minister was that the Bill was objectionable in some respects, and he thought it should stand. I have no objection in opposing the Bill except that I think its principle is bad if not vicious, and I think the request of the Prime Minister should be complied with and the Bill allowed to stand.

Mr. G. BOYER (Vaudreuil) (Translation).: Mr. Speaker, while addressing us this afternoon, the hon. minister said that his intention was to raise the soldiers' fee to .75 cents a day. I approve this measure for I know what difficulties are met with when taking in recruits as soldiers, every year, when camping time arrives.	The insufficient
indemnity paid until now has always been a sourse of annoyance which was very often a drawback in choosing desirable recruits from the different bodies. On the other hand, I notice that the hon. minister did not mention if the allocation was also to be increased for the horses. Presently, at the time of camping, the hiring price of a horse is $1 a day. Then the hon. minister knows as well as do the superior officers how hard it is for us to procure cavalry horses. Any way, the department knows all about this matter. The difficulty is still greater in the case of cities. It is acknowledged that the cavalry regiments of the cities can hardly reach the camps with their effective force. It is easier to find horses in the country, if the time for camp-

ing is before hay making time. Rut, if for some reason the drilling time is somewhat delayed, these difficulties become almost insurmountable, unless provided for with an augmentation as it was done at the time of the tercentenary feasts at Quebec when the indemnity was raised from $1 to $2. The existing indemnity rate of $1 is not inducing the farmers to hire their best horses when these are so much exposed to accidents of all kinds owing to bad weather and transportation. Should the pay be more liberal, the value of the horses would be superior and the soldiers' services more effective. Besides that, there are the indemnities in the case of accidents or wounds which do not cover the loss of the *animal. There lies the chie to the greater difficulties that we have to meet with in the country when we want to hire good horses, and, that accounts for the fact that we often are supplied with a quality of horses far inferior to the real cavalry horses. Owing to these reasons, I would not be opposed to indemnity rate being raised by the hon. minister to $1.25 or even $1.50 a day. In certain localities of the country, it may be easier to secure cavalry horses for the present indemnity rate; but, in the part where I have the honour to command a cavalry squadron, it is not so. I again say that it would be a good policy on the part of the hon. minister to make the augmentation that I propose and that has anyhow been suggested by many others.


James Joseph Hughes: I fully appreciate all that the hon. gentleman has said in regard to the' small sum paid for horses taken by the young men to camp. They have to be exposed to all kinds of weather and to other unfavourable conditions; but year by year there is an improvement in the class of horses, and we hope that next year we shall be able materially to assist our friends all along the line. What my hon. friend says about the value of the horses taken to camp is true, and to meet that the department has raised the indemnity for a horse that is lost or injured from $125 to $175. The department is always ready to [DOT] deal generously in the case of horses injured or killed in .camp. The remarks which the hon. gentleman has made meet my hearty approval, and the matter will receive the consideration of the department.


Gustave Benjamin Boyer: Mr. Speaker, the military regulations do not permit to enlist recruits under 18 years of age. Nevertheless, we have in the country strong young men under 18 years who are well built and would be splendid cavaliers. Last year, when I had to enlist cavaliers for the squadron which I command, I experienced some difficulty to find young men of 18 years and more
because the majority of those whose age is in conformity with the regulations are busy on the farm. It would have been possible to fill in the number needed for the squadron with young men under 18 who are well developed, robust lads; for, after all, our aim is chiefly to get good cavaliers, and the young folks in the country commence very young to go on horseback. It is a sport for youngsters. The enlisting work would be far easier if we had the liberty to select our recruits among the oldest cadets, and even besides them, amongst the young men whose physical qualities, in the matter of development would make them suitable. I consider that the department should give the commanding officers of force more latitude as regards the field of action.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. member has referred to the fact that it is difficult at certain seasons of the year to recruit from men over the age of eighteen, and he has pointed out that to which I made reference this afternoon, that the young soldier is very often the best soldier. It has been my custom never to ask a young man his age, so long as he was large enough and manly enough to fill the uniform. On one occasion a young man who was a non-eommissioned officer in charge of an outpost, was brought before his com-" manding officer, who asked him, ' how old are you?' * Do you mean my official age, or my real age?' he asked, and he gave both. His official age was 21, his real age 17. When I commanded a regiment, my custom was to have a large contingent of young men in the service. At Rigaud college, my hon. friend has a very excellent cadet corps; and if he can make satisfactory arrangements to ensure that these young men will be looked after, I have no doubt that he can get a splendid lot of recruits from them.


Gustave Benjamin Boyer: Does the hon. minister mean to say that we could ignore the regulation which exists to-day concerning the recruiting of young men which I have just spoken of?


Samuel Hughes: I am only making suggestions, not laying down the law.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The minister says the department has always been very generous in paying claims for injuries to horses. My experience has been quite the reverse, and I hope he will take some trouble to look into the manner in which the department has been paying for damages to horses in the past. I think he will find that not only has the patience of the owner been exhausted before he has been paid, but he

has spent about half the amount the department has allowed him, before he has got it. I believe there is no matter coming before the Department of Militia and Defence, in which there is as much negligence as there is in paying these claims.


Samuel Hughes: The matter has been up, and I am informed .by the officers of the department, that in the great majority of such cases, under my predecessor, the claims have been settled before the troops left camp. Even where the injury is only apparent, the claim is settled in the most expeditious manner. Since I assumed office I have closed up several cases, and in every instance, the officers of the department were most anxious first to get at the facts and then to do ample justice to the man whose horse was concerned.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The fault is not in the district officers. It is quite true that when a horse is injured in camp there is always a board of inquiry, which makes a finding, but that finding is not carried out for months, or sometimes years. I do not want to name officials who have been derelict in their duty in this matter, but I can give the minister facts that are within my knowledge, of what has taken place within the last two years, and I can give him the names if necessary.


Samuel Hughes: A great many men in the volunteer force throughout the country think that they have no means of communicating with the department, or with their member of parliament. When the militia law was being passed, I took the ground that it should be made clear and distinct that every man who became a volunteer loses no right which he possesses as a citizen. While in camp or on duty he is subject to the King's Regulations and to the Army Act; but at other times he is as free as any other citizen.' Therefore, there is nothing to prevent him communicating with a member of parliament or unofficially direct with myself, and if any communication of this kind is ' received by me, the district officer will be called on at once to make an explanation why the matter has not been attended to.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Without going through the official channels?


Samuel Hughes: There is no need of that. This country would be worse than Russia if a volunteer could not communicate with his member of parliament or with the minister direct.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What about discipline?


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: 


Samuel Hughes: What right has an officer of a company to control the men of his company during the 350 days of the year that they are not under him in camp? That would be the worst sort of tyranny. A private can take any action against his officer, provided1 he is not on duty or in uniform, and the only recourse the officer would have against him would be in the civil courts of the country.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: That is a new theory.


Samuel Hughes: It is not a new theory. It is the militia law of England, which has been in force for many generations. The citizen loses no privilege by becoming a volunteer. While on duty, of course, he does, but during any other hour of the year he is a free man.
The army officers on the British militia list were not free, they were subject to the King's Regulations and the Army Act throughout the year, because the great majority of them had served in the regular army, and were receiving allowances on that account; but the men of the militia force in England were never subject to the King's Regulations, and the Army Act except when on dirty.


Mr. ROBB.: This afternoon the minister made the statement that from his experience only those who received a military training in their teens made good soldiers. Now, the minister himself is a gallant soldier, he has given evidence of that in Canada and in Great Britain, and he is a fair man, and I ask him if he thinks his statement of this afternoon is not a little unfair to the farmers who in 1866 and 1870, left their ploughs and went out to take up armsi to defend1 their country? Was his statement not a little unfair also to the men who accompanied him to South Africa and won honour and glory for Canada on the veldt.


Samuel Hughes: I fail to see any unfairness. I want to tell my hon. friend1 a thing which perhaps he did not know, that the men who turned out in 1866 and 1870, could pick off black squirrels on the top of a maple tree with a rifle when they were ten years of age. That is in harmony with the very statement I was making. These young farmers like the young men from the west, are trained along those lines and I want to train all the boys of the country in the same way so that when they take' a rifle in their hands they will be able to pick a squirrel off a tree or a wood-chuck off a stone pile.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I want to know whether my hon. friend's doctrine in re-

gard to the rights of members of the force with respect to invoking the aid of the representative of their county in getting compensation whem their horses have been killed or injured, is one which is confined merely to cases of that character, because a very dangerous line is drawn there. Does my hon. friend mean to say that if a question of discipline arises in a camp that the militia men affected must not go to the military authorities in the way as laid down in the military regulations, but must go to a member of parliament for his support, and that he can practically tell his superior officer that he does not need to pay any attention to him, but that he will get his member to bring the matter up in parliament? Surely the minister does not go that far?
Mr. HUGHES (Victoria;. I will say this much: If a soldier in camp loses his horse and the matter is reported upon by the board, the proper course has been followed, he will get justice. The case pointed out by the member for Carleton, which is I trust, a little overdrawn


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: It is not overdrawn. I can tell the minister that I actually paid money out of my own pocket towards the settlement of these claims.


Samuel Hughes: In case a young man cannot get redress through the regular military channel, and in case red tape procedure would prevent him from taking proper action, I want to proclaim far and wide that when a young man doffs his uniform and returns to civilian life, he is a free man, and has a right to appeal to his member of parliament, or the Minister of Militia, or any other man he chooses, and there is no power undier the law to say otherwise to him. Let my good friend, who is a lawyer, read up the law and he will admit that what I say Is correct.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The minister knows very well that there are a great many laws in the land which are more honoured in the breach than in the observance.


Samuel Hughes: But the law is clear.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The minister knows that, and he knows very well the traditions that exist in the militia in this country. If the course suggested by the Minister of Militia to obtain a remedy is followed it will amount to a very grave breach of discipline. Because all 'that a man needs to do who has got a political pull is to tell his superior officer he can go hang. He can say that he will get his member to bring the matter up in the House and get after the officer. If the
powers of the Militia 'Council, or whatever body has control of the militia of this country, are not adequate they ought to be made broader. The minister is really going too far.


Samuel Hughes: I am sorry not to have won my hon. friend's approval because I have been sitting up nights trying to do that. What I say is that if a young man fails to obtain redress, after the matter has been brought up in camp and has gone through the legitimate military channel


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: He must do that first.


Samuel Hughes: Certainly I have said so. In case he fails to get justice after having done that, I will give it to him. Justice is what we are most concerned with, that is what these young men want, and I will see that they get it.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The minister is now laying down a new law.


Samuel Hughes: No. Not a new law.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: If a young man takes the matter up in a proper manner in camp and a board is convened and finds that the horse for which claim was brought is not injured, and the young man comes here- accompanied by the veterinary who said he was satisfied the horse was injured-will my hon. friend allow him to urge his claim through a political or business channel, or let it go back to tne board?


Samuel Hughes: - I must correct my hon. friend. I am not a lawyer, although I have two distinguished lawyers questioning me at the present time, and I am much surprised to hear one of those lawyers admitting there is a law on the statute-book, while the other says that I am laying down a new law. I am not laying down a new law, the law is there on the statute-book of Canada.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: A new interpretation of the law sometimes has the effect of a new law.


Samuel Hughes: There is no new interpretation. This has been the practice for many years and I cannot grasp the point of the hon. gentleman's argument about a political channel. I can assure him that if justice has been denied there no red tape will be allowed to stand in the way. If any new evidence can be adduced it will be brought before a new board which will settle the matter whether it goes through an official or non-official channel.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Then I understand the claimant will not get redress from the min-

ister or through parliament, until the matter has been settled by the board.


Samuel Hughes: Not much.


James Alexander Robb: The minister is laying down the regulations. Suppose a horse takes the distemper in camp and when it returns home gives the distemper to other horses, have the owners any claim against the department?


Samuel Hughes: I will refer the hon. gentleman to the legal lights on his own side.


William Frederic Kay: I can support the statements of the hon. member for Carleton (Mr. Car-veil) as to the delay in paying for horses that are injured. I know of several cases that oecured in the last camp that were not settled for three or four months, in fact I had several applications made to me in that connection during the last election.


Samuel Hughes: Not before the election?


William Frederic Kay: Yes.


Samuel Hughes: Then I can assure my hon. friend that it is a most serious reflection on my predecessor in oflice, a more serious reflection than I would make concerning him myself. I gave the department every credit for settling these claims expeditiously, and I am sorry to hear they were not.


Mr. HENDERSON.: I certainly thinly there should be no red tape about the settlement of claims of this kind. In my part of the country the farmers freely loan their horses to the Missauga troop, and frequently the horses are returned injured and practically almost useless. I will cite a case which I think occurred about two years ago. A farmer lent his horse and it was returned to him injured. He made application for compensation through what he thought was the regular military channel, and was awarded $21, I believe. He was not satisfied with that and I think returned the cheque to the late Minister of Militia. I took the matter up with the department and it resulted in $130 being allowed for the horse. My recommendation in cases of that kind is to go direct to the department and get redress, because I find that the regular military channel for settling these claims does not seem to comprehend the value of a horse, or what the farmer is really entitled to. Besides I do not like the delays that occur in cases of the kind. My experience has been that the best thing is to go direct to the minister, and I have done so on different occasions.
And I would say for the former Minister of Militia that he was very fair; he did not hesitate to take the matter up himself and adjudicate upon it. Of course, I was Mr. CABVELL.
particular to furnish him with statutory declarations and other evidence as to the facts. Then the award was made and the money paid. I think that is the proper way to proceed. When a farmer is good enough to loan his horse to a trooper and the horse is returned having caught the distemper and being made useless for the time, or injured, it is the duty of the government to give redress at once, so that next year when the troopers want to borrow horses they can get them. Otherwise the farmers will be verv chary of allowing their horses to be used in this way. I trust a system will be adopted by which the farmers will not be put to extra trouble, but will get redress at once.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I do not know whether it is under this vote that my hon. friend (Mr. Hughes, Victoria), made a purchase of automobiles. Some curious statements are made in regard to his action in making that purchase. Perhaps the hon. gentleman will be good enough to explain for what purpose he purchased these machines and whether they were bought by tender?


Samuel Hughes: Any question the hon. member wishes to ask I shall only be too pleased to answer. I am not responsible for rumours. I have not time to read the papers, so know nothing of what the rumours are-and care less. I purchased twelve automobiles for the department. Our officers on their tours of inspection, travelling by train or stage, have to wait and often lose a great deal of time. They have to engage livery rigs to reach stations where they can take trains. We find that their time is more than five-sixths lost. We figured it up and had the advice of experts upon it. The cost of automobile travelling may be higher, bv 50 per cent than the same work done by rail and stage, but we estimate that we shall do more than twice as much work. The world is going on and the department is not going to allow the little sentiment that is attempted to be created among farmers regarding automobiles to stand in the way of the effectiveness of its work. I hope our opponents will go on trying to arouse that sentiment, for the farmers appreciate automobiles, and many of them have them and know how they save time, which means money. So, the anxiety of certain gentlemen for the welfare of the farmers over these automobiles will be misplaced. We are going to do twice the work for half the money. As to the tendemng, it is impossible to tender for automobiles.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: How much did they cost?


Samuel Hughes: They cost $850 each, with extra tires and fittings.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Does not the statute require you to call for tenders for a purchase so large?


Samuel Hughes: Not at all. I consulted fifty different agents describing to each what I wanted. If I had taken the assurance of each of these as to the best machines, I should have had fifty different machines at the cost of, from $1,000, to $8,000. But I could only buy 12. I bought * the machine that I knew personally and that was recommended by three separate agents of different companies, after I had explained the purpose for which we wanted them. They are the cheapest in the market and recognized the world over as being the best cheap, handy, strong machine. There are eighty thousand of them made every year. We can take these machines and throw them away at the end of the year and have money in our pockets for our purposes over buying expensive machines. We do not want to have our men travel in too great luxury, but we want to give them facilities for their work.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Where are you going to use them?


Samuel Hughes: The district officer in every district will have one for his own inspection work. Take the hon. gentleman's own county. Though that county is as well furnished with railways as any in the Dominion, I suppose, still if the officer has to visit Stellarton, West-ville, Pictou, Trenton, New Glasgow, and must go by train or livery, he is sure to lose time. And in the ordinary county that is not so well served by railways, the officer will be able to save half his time.	[DOT]


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Do you employ chauffeurs?


Samuel Hughes: At the present time the officer is entitled to a servant, and he will take the place.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: All this sounds very nice coming from the Minister of Militia. He has been telling us many nice things this afternoon, and no one so far seems to have felt like telling him the truth. But the truth is that what the minister has just been saying is absolute nonsense at least so far as it applies to the province of New Brunswick. When the minister tells me that the inspecting officer in New Brunswick is going to save the cost of an automobile even if the cost is only $1,000 in one year or ten years, I tell him that he is talking simple nonsense, I have no milder words to use.


Samuel Hughes: I did not say that he would save the cost of an automobile in a year. I said we were going to save half the time


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: The hon. gentleman is hedging now. But now, let me show him the position. In the first place, there is not a militia officer in Canada that works- I think I am safe in saying it-more than two hours a day, and I think that in putting it at that I am making a big allowance. They do not have the work to do. Take the militia officers of the Headquarters Staff, why they are walking over one another. They are busy renting more rooms to find places in which to stay.


Mr. EDWARDS.: How long has that been going on??


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Too long. For eight or nine years.


William Cameron Edwards: It is the first time you have mentioned it.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: It may be. It is not the first time I have thought of it.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Oh, oh.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: My hon. friends may laugh. But I want to tell them that they will realize the position we have been in, sitting behind this general staff for the last six or eight years. They will be as sick of it as we are. We have had our fill and plenty of this general staff. I want to tell the hon. minister again that there is not a militia officer in Canada who does inspecting work, who works more than two months out of the year at the business. A man can start out on inspection work in New Brunswick-and I know what I am talking about-and taking the regular conveyances, he can inspect every regimental and company armoury in the province and he could not find two months work in it. More than that, he cannot find opportunity to use his automobile for more than two months out of the year. This is simply a means of increasing the perquisites of the general staff and district officers in different parts of the country. I have not criticised the minister severely so far. But when he gets up and tells us that it is necessary in the interest of economy, and in order to facilitate the inspection of the armouries to buy automobiles for these people, I think it time that somebody should tell him the truth. I am not appealing to the farmers in this matter. Many of our farmers have automobiles, and many others would like to have them. The farmers have no prejudice against automobiles.
But they do have a prejudice against men receiving the salaries that these men are receiving, and giving very little service for it, and then to go and buy them automobiles to ride around in.


Samuel Hughes: I am surprised to hear my hon. friend get up and slate his leader and his colleagues who have been so long in office; while the hon. gen-

tleman, who knew these things were going on all these years, sat dumb as an oyster.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: We never got to the point of buying automobiles.


Samuel Hughes: When the hon. gentleman talks about there being* no work for these officers to do in New Brunswick, he does not know what he is talking about, he is talking nonsense. Let me remind him of the units scattered over his own province, scattered over miles and miles of territory, wheae the officers have to make long drives, and hang around the stations waiting for the trains, hours at a time, both days and nights. Every cadet corps, every rifle association has to be inspected. Tlie staff officer for that purpose in New Brunswick has to work night and day, and does his duty as well as any other officer In the Dominion of Canada. I want to tell my hon. friend from Carle-ton, N.B. (Mr. Carvell) that if he has had in the past cause of -complaint he is not going to have that cause of complaint very long, because I can assure him that if there are staff officers who have been loafing around doing only two hours work in the day, that will soon be put a stop to. The hon. gentleman has been condoning it, but no hon. gentleman on the government side will tolerate, as he has tolerated, any such conduct on the part of officers who have so little to do, and if there Is no work for them to do, they will be disposed of. I think the hon. gentleman, who is himself a soldier, should not be casting reflections upon the force, seeing he has failed in the past in having these wrongs remedied.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I protested in the past, perhaps not as strongly as 1 ought to have done, but I protested all these years. Notwithstanding the extracts from the report of General French which the hon. gentleman is going to fall back upon, I may tell him that we have got too much militarism in this country. My hon. friend talks about what they are going to do here, in one of these numerous memoranda that he distributes among the members to prove that he is not increasing the cost of the militia to the country. i find here a most astounding statement that the people of Canada spend to-day on sheer gold lace militarism one-third as much as they are paying in Germany, which is supposed to be the most military-ridden country in the world. Just think of it! I figured out that the people of Canada are paying 34 per cent as much as they are paying in Germany per capita, one-quarter as much as they are paying in Great Britain, one-quarter as much as they are paying in France, and 57 per cent of what they are -paying in Italy. It is a remarkable -statement, and the people of this country may Mr. HUGHES (Victoria).
well pause and consider where we are going. It is bad enough to add half a million dollars, as my hon. friend is doing this year, but when it comes to buying automobiles for these $3,000, $4,000 and $5,000 a year officers to ride around in, I think it is straining the people's patience to the breaking point.


Samuel Hughes: Would the hon. gentleman have them go by foot? As to the comparison with Germany and other nations, let me point out that Canada to-day has a very large area with a very small population, while Germany has a very small area with a very large population, which of course affects the pro rata of expenditure. But as Canada fills up, the cost per head will naturally decrease.


Mr. CHISHOLM (Antigonish).: It is said that the bast literary critics are men who never wrote a book, and the best musical critics are men who cannot tell one note from another I do not profess to be a military critic, but I think I do know something of public opinion throughout the country on this subject. There is a general impression prevailing in the rural districts that there is proportionately too much spent on militarism. The Minister of Militia is so filled with the spirit of militarism that he really cannot see beyond his environment. To him militarism is like grace to- a Christian, he cannot have too much of it. When one considers that for arts, agriculture and statistics, we are only providing about $2,000,000 in the main estimates, and for militia something o-ver $8,000,000, four times as much, without taking info consideration another million dollars or so for armouries and drill halls, and one thing and another, olie is driven to the conviction that it is time to call a halt. Besides, this great sum does not include what is to be spent on the navy. When they compare what is spent on militarism with the amount spent on agriculture, I think the farmers are well justified in entertaining a feeling of great dissatisfaction. I know this thing has been going on for years. 1 do not say the present administration is alone responsble for it. But it is so that this feeling of dissatisfaction been prevalent for years. I was glad to hear my hon. friend from Carleton (Mr. Carvell) express the sentiments he -did. I know these sentiments obtain largely on the other side of the House as well as on this side. In fact. I have heard some of the hon. gentlemen opposite express the opinion that there is too much money spent on militarism. Now, the Minister of Militia says that he must purhcase automobiles for his officers. They may effect a saving, as he has pointed out, it may be that the services of his officers may be utilized to
*5497

better advantage by providing this luxury, But the country will not look at it in that way. The country will regard these automobiles as a means of procuring joy-rides for these officers, to go around the country with gilt braid on their coats, as the swells of the land. I do not think there is much dissatisfaction against the ordinary soldier, but it is against the expensive staff officers, the pageantry that we see on the outside, that the dissatisfaction exists. Now as to the cadet corps, no doubt it is a good thing to give boys a military training. It is a good thing to subject them to proper discipline, but that is not the whole thing. There seems to be a spirit prevailing in the militia department that if we can organize all the boys into cadet corps we can dispense with clergymen, churches, schools arid everything else of that sort. You see abundant evidence of that in this pamphlet. It makes mention of the cost of the negative army as it is called in that pamphlet or advance memoranda; it talks of the amount spent in keeping up reformatories, the administration of justice, and the expenditure on rum and tobacco, as if a military training was going to do away with all these things. 1 think the idea of cadet corps is a. good one, but I do not think it is a good thing to send them off to camp to give them a training, wThen you might give them the same training at home in schools and colleges.
Give them training, if you will, in the common schools and colleges, give them this training under the influence of their own homes. I do not approve of the policy of making it too easy for the boys to go to camp miles away from their homes. The minister says that they are not obliged to go if they do not want to and that they will not be permitted to go unless the permission of their parents is obtained. That is all. very true, but you know very well that boys are curious and full of the spirit of adventure and perhaps the father will be soft and easy and allow the child to go. The minister says that the best way is to put boys upon their honour, and he gave us a lecture upon how to deal with boys. I am not in a position to give a lecture on that subject, but I think there is a good deal of truth in the old homely saying: Spare the rod and spoil the child. That truth has to be acted upon to a certain extent and while the idea of putting a boy upon his honour may be all right to a limited extent it is not as effective as the command of the father or mother.


William Cameron Edwards: You believe in militarism in the home then?


William Chisholm: No, that is not militarism. The home life and
discipline have a sweetening effect that militarism does not possess at all. As I said before, I do not not know anything about militarism.


John Allister Currie: Anybody could see that.


William Chisholm: ' That is very true, 'but I rose for the purpose of giving expression to the opinion of the country. Ninety per cent of the people in the rural districts feel that there is too much militarism going on. I am not blaming the present administration for that; the same thing happened to a large extent under the late administration and hon. gentlemen opposite, when they sat on this side of the House, said that if it had not been so late in the session when the estimates were going through th(*y would have brought up and given expression to that very same opinion. But now with a still further increase with such innovations as automobiles for the officers and drill in camp for boys of tender age, it is time to call a halt and do so in no uncertain sound. There seems1 to be a disposition to say nothing in criticism of the militia as if it were something sacrilegious to say anything that was not most respectful of it. I think the militia ought to be criticised and it is open to criticism just as much as any other branch of the service.


William Cameron Edwards: I think it would only be fair that members on this side of the House should permit hon. gentlemen opposite to get rid of the views which they have had bottled up for the last ten years and which are beginning to effervesce at Such a rate that the cork has flown out of the bottle. They want to express now What has been on their minds for a long time and which they have not had an opportunity to express before. The hon. member for Carleton, N.B. (Mr. Carvell) says that he has thought this thing for six *or eight years. Therefore, we ought to be fair and give the hon. gentleman an opportunity to express here to-night what lie has had bottled un for the past eight years. We have learned from the hon. hiember for Carleton to-night that in the past men have had horses injured in camp and that they have' received no proper compensation for the loss which they have sustained in that way. We have not heard one word from the hon. gentle-tnan in all these years so far as that is concerned. In all these years there has been in his mind very serious objection to the spending of from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000 a year on the militia, yet not one Word of criticism has he seen fit to offer in this House. I found some difficulty in getting certain claims redressed for injuries done to horses in my county until

the present government came in and I am pleased to say that I have succeeded in getting claims fixed up which have stood in abeyance for a considerable length of time. I want to repeat to-night what I said when I was on the other side of the House and that is that I do not think that the amount of money spent in this country for militia and defence is out of all proportion to the amount of money that is spent, for instance, upon agriculture. I said that on the other side of the House and I repeat that statement from this side of the House to-night. That is still my opinion. I think there is plenty of room for curtailing expenditure' along that line. There has been a greate deal of room for it in years past and I am glad to see that the present hon. Minister of of Militia (Mr. Huhges) is making a cut in the neighbourhood of half a million dollars as compared with the estimates of last year.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: He has made an increase over last year.


William Cameron Edwards: No, that is the statement that he has made.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: If my hon. friend will 'look at page 48 of the estimates he will find that the minister demands an increase of $191,000 and there are other items that can be figured up beyond that and we will get the supplementaries for the next session of parliament.


Samuel Hughes: As prepared fcy this government my estimates are (nearly half a million less than the estimates which I found had been prepared by the former government.
* Mr. CARVELL. That may be so.


William Cameron Edwards: Then, as I understand 'I think this is a step in the right direction. I do not think that you can find 'fault with these hon. gentlemen for criticising these estimates, but I think it *would come with better grace from them *if they had given a little of this criticism *in years gone iby instead of reserving it *all for the present occasion.


Mr. E. LAPOINTE (Kamouraska).: (Translation). Mr. Chairman, I cannot let this resolution pass without expressing my deep surprise at the stand taken by the hon. member coming from my province, and who sits o nthe other side of the House. I expected on their part virulent protest against the item asked by the hon. member the Minister of Militia, and I was far from thinking that he would meet his request with an approbatory silence.
I 'have taken part in the now famous Drummond-Arthabaska in 1910. I have Mr. EDWARDS.
heard during that election many of these hon. members, criticising the expenses incurred by the government, for the annual camps of the Canadian militia.	[DOT]
I have heard them make violent appeals and state that the government were spending hundreds of thousands of dollers sending young men-I apologize to the House for using the expression, but it was the one they used-to get drunk, in the camps at Levis, Three Rivers and St. Johns.
I am exceedingly surprised to see that to-day, when an additional expenditure of $130,000 is proposed, not for the annual drill of the ordinary militia, but towards the training of school boys, ten or twelve years old, who, as stated by the minister, will be turned into as many soldiers. I am, I repeat it, exceedingly surprised that not a word of protest is forthcoming from hon. members on the other side.
Evidently, in regard to this question, as in regard to several others, which have come up since the opening of this session, it is the faction represented in the Cabinet by the hon. Minister of Militia, which has won the day over the other faction represented by the hon. Minister of Public Works (Mr. Monk) and the hon. Postmaster General (Mr. Pelletier). The bellicose views of my hon. friend the Minister of Militia have prevailed over the peaceful teachings of the hon. Minister of Public Works and his supporters.
In the course of the last electoral contest, when the establishment of a Canadian navy was being denounced so passionately in the province of Quebec, I remember hearing the hon. member for I'Islet (Mr. Paquet) state in fervid tones that the government had written a bloody page in the annals of our country. I wonder what the hon. member and his friends think of the page which the hon. Minister of Militia is about to write just now in our annals. As a matter of fact, what the Minister of Militia is anxious to accomplish through this resolution is, as I have stated, to convert into soldiers all the school children in the country The proof of it, Mr. Chairman, is in the manifest, a copy of which, the hon. minister, has caused to be handed to every hon. member and in which his object is clearly set forth:
If the nation is to learn to shoot this must be taught to the boys. If this movement is handled by a capable and diplomatic staff working hand in hand with the educational authorities it will mean that every boy in the country will learn to shoot and drill, and without arousing the prejudices of the people universal training of the youth of the country will be obtained.

Mr. Chairman, if that radical departure in our military -organizations had been proposed by the late government, you know as well as I do, what denunciations would have been heard in our old province of Quebec. The bugbear of militarism would have been exposed, and to my mind with some measure of justification.
As for me, I agree with, those hon. gentlemen who have taken a stand against this new system of enrolling all our young men under the flag of militarism.
Our population is not enormous enough, our country's development has not reached such a point as to- justify such an extravagant expenditure for military purposes. In brief the requirements of our agriculture are too great to allow our government to divert from its proper use such a considerable amount.
I also object to that part of the estimates providing for the purchase of automobiles for officers in the militia. 3uen an expenditure will not meet with the approval of the people. My hon. friend is quite enthusiastic when military requirements are being dealt with; but surely he does not wish his officers to wage war in autos. I do not think the Canadian people will approve of such extravagant expenditure. I take strong exception to the new policy expounded by the Minister of Militia and I appeal to my hon. friends on the other side, especially those representing Quebec constituents if they were serious, to join with me and 'bring their influence to bear on the minister, so that he will cut down his estimates to a reasonable figure.


Mr. E. PAQUET (L'Islet).: (Translation) Mr. Speaker, I did not intend to address the House on this question, but I see my hon. friend from Kamouraska has suddenly become greatly concerned with the interest of the farming class. However, the hon. member, in the course of last session did not find -a word of criticism to utter in connection with the report of General French. That officer was sent to Canada to completely reorganize our militia. His conclusions are towards increasing the expenditure in this connection. According to General French, there should be, in the first place, a body of 100,000 men and then a reserve of 100,000 more. That report was brought down and laid on the table of the House, and the hon. member had not a word of reproof for the right hon. gentleman who was theh leader of the House. During the campaign in Drummond-Ar-thabaska, I pointed out that while only one million was spent in aid of agriculture, six millions were being expended on the
militia. While not approving entirely the increased expenditure on the militia, I must congratulate the government on having given their first thought to the farming community, and framing a policy which will ensure the improvement bf our national high-ways and at the same time, bring about the agricultural progress of Canada.


Mr. VERVILLE.: I wish all the members of the House had as much knowledge of militarism as I have, which is none at ail. The hon. member for L'Islet (Mr. Paquet) takes great pride in the present government for what they have done for the agricultural classes and the improvements ol country roads, but so far I have not seen them do anything for the labouring people of Canada.


An hon. MEMBER.: What about the automobiles.


Alphonse Verville: The government did not give the labouring people any automobiles. I cannot blame the government for buying those automobiles, because, as I understand it, the wars of the future will be so conducted that the rank and file will be placed in front to be killed and the gentlemen with the automobiles can run away. I say, Sir, that any province that will allow a system of education of its children in militarism, by taking a child ten or twelve years old and teaching him how to handle a gun and shoot his fellow-man, ought to be censured by this parliament or any other parliament. I am sure that you will find a vast majority of the fathers and mothers of this country against any such proposal. I claim that the children in the schools are learning too fast how to kill their fellow-men, and that it would be much better for the government of Canada and much better for the country, if, instead of giving a penny a month to the Labour Department, they would spend more money on it and less on guns. It would be much better for the government of this country to educate the children in economics than to teach them how to shoot. Now then, it might be said that I make this statement now and I did not make it when the Liberals were in power, but I want to tell hon. gentlemen that I have always stood with the labouring people of this country in condemnation of this system. In the name of one million heads of families whose children will be wanted for this service, I protest against the promulgation of the doctrine of militarism.


Mr. BURNHAM.: It is acknowledged the world over that the expenditure of money in training people to kill each other is prima facie absurd. I should not like for my part the impression to go abroad in

the newspapers, especially the Liberal newspapers, that the Conservatives were in favour of spending these sums of money on the military, while our good friends the Liberals were in favour of everything going on as .quietly as possible. We admit beyond peradventure that the world as it is is all wrong. We could save vast sums of money if nobody would die, and great remedies could be applied instantly if we had the power of applying them, but we have not. I would ask the hon. gentleman from Maisonneuve (Mr. Verville), who has expressed such admirable sentiments, if he will remember that it has taken us one thousand years to recover from the fact that Rome was not fit to hold off the barbarians. If in A.D. 476 the Western Umpire of Rome had been trained in a military way instead of humbugging in other ways as she did she would have preserved the learning of the west, and preserved the power of the west, and we would not have had the Lombards, the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths and the Vandals, and all the rest of them destroying the learning that had been accumulated for a thousand years. We must have some common sense in this matter. Let me remind the hon. gentleman (Mr. Verville) that we are not training our sons or our daughters either to shoot each' other; we are training them to hit a mark, and if it should so chamce that some one insists upon being shot because they are going to take away that which belongs to us, then we will shoot them, but that is only an incident. There are benefits in a [DOT]military training which everybody will [DOT]concede. It makes the young chap erect, well set-up, and it teaches him discipline, [DOT]which nine times out of ten he does not learn at home. It is a grave mistake for any one to suppose that all the expenditure of money, under the conditions that exist [DOT]in the world to-day, for the purposes of self-defence, is wasted, because it is not. Ten minutes' study of history will show that if the ancient empire of Rome' had been able to defend herself we would [DOT]have been two thousand years ahead of [DOT]where we are now, instead of being two [DOT]thousand years behind. Then, with regard to the automobiles; I am not much of a soldier myself, I would not kill a chicken if I could help it, but I have followed the question sufficiently to know that the automobile is the most economical means of handling a transport service in all the armies of the world. The Americans, the Australians, the Germans, the French, the English, ail have automobiles attached to their military forces, and why should we not be up to date? Do we want to lag behind? Certainly not. Everybody admits, and that is the point I want to make, that Mr. BURNHAM.
expenditure in a military way is something that is to be regretted, but it is-something that has to be done.
* Mr. HUGHES (Victoria). I am surprised to find that my hon. friend from Kamouraska (Mr. Lapointe) who in his youth was trained as a cadet, and who has all the appearance of a bold soldier laddie, stand up here and show his lack of appreciation of the tact of the gentleman who had the honour of defeating him and his friends in the contest in Drum-mond-Arthabaska. What are the facts? In 1896 the Liberal-Conservative party had brought in a small appropriation of three million dollars for rifles with which to arm the troops in expectation of a war in which Britain and France would be engaged on one side against other continental powers. These hon. gentlemen opposite then pursued the same policy as they are evidently laying out to pursue to-day. Let me tell these gentlemen that I welcome their appeal to prejudices on every platform and in every riding in the Dominion. In 1896 they went through the province of Quebec telling the people that if these rifles were bought by the Conservatives their sons would be disembowelled.


An hon. MEMBER.: Who said that?


Samuel Hughes: The Liberals said it in the province of Quebec in 1896.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Oh.


Samuel Hughes: Do the hon. gentlemen opposite deny it?


Ernest Lapointe: Yes.


Samuel Hughes: Then it was that the Liberals appealed to the mothers of the province of Quebec not to let their sons fight for the empire in all parts of the world. That appeal had its effect, but time rolled on and Drummond and Arthabaska fell vacant and the Liberal-Conservative party


An hon. MEMBER.: Kept out of the county.


Samuel Hughes: I have not the slightest 'doubt they did it and I say: God' bless them for giving back to these gentlemen opposite the same medicine as they themselves administered in 1896. We have evidence that both sides did it in the Drummond-Arthabaska election, and these gentlemen opposite were hoisted on their own petard.
Then came on the last Dominion elections and the people of the province of Quebec and the people of other provinces resisted the appeals to prejudices made by the Liberals, and they placed the Right Hon. R. L. Borden where he now stands

at the head of a splendid majority, a united majority, as the gentlemen opposite have found to their cost. I want to tell these gentlemen opposite that they are not talking by the book when they say that the farmers do not want their sons to go to these cadet camps. We have the evidence in our possession that not only the people of the cities, but the country people as well in every part of the Dominion-in the province of Quebec more than anywhere else-are anxious to have their children go to these camps. I am pleased beyond measure to see the line these gentlemen opposite are taking, because from their own view point they are making a fatal mistake. I was more than surprised to find our good friend from Maisonneuve (Mr. Verville), who poses as the champion of labour in this country, taking the stand he did. Let me point out to him that in a country where the labour leaders are honest, where the labour leaders are not afraid to stand up for what thev think is right, in Australia, where a labour government is in power, a cadet system has been established and 75 per cent of the cadets are armed and well drilled and trained to shoot. In Australia, every man and boy from the age of ten years up must be by law trained to be a soldier. That is not militarism. Militarism is where a class created in the community holds control of the military power so as to dominate the rest of the people, but when you get a whole people trained for the defence of their country, it is the very antithesis of militarism.
Mr. LEM1EUX. Don't look at me in that way.


Samuel Hughes: I believe that at heart the hon. member for Rouville (Mr. Lemieux) is right, but unfortunately he has been keeping such bad company that he hardly knows where he is at himself. Discipline does not mean oppression; military training means honour, culture, lipbuilding, training the youth to keep his head erect, and training him to keep his head erect is training him to keep his character right, The records of all countries show that where young men are trained in military work they are improved mentally, morally and physically. As an asset to a nation, outside of any question of the defence of the country, it is well to train the youth of the country in military discipline.
When the nation is in danger and its mien are untrained, what is the consequence? They take to the woods and leave their wives, their mothers, their sisters, their daughters and1 their sweethearts to the tender mercies of the invaders. There is a record in every land where the men have been untrained. It is all very well for hon. gentlemen who have nothing to
gain but a little cheap popularity, to criticise the defence of the nation. Too long, I fear, have the militia estimates of this country gone through with the suspicion that everything was not right in them. I want our militia estimates to be subject to the fullest criticism, and I have taken pains to have full information regarding them sent to every locality in Canada, so that the people will know' where their money has gone and what it has gone for. I want the people to know the exact condition of affairs, and I am confident that they will say: We d'o not believe in militarism, but we do believe in defending our homes, They will say: Patriotism and loyalty ar.e splendid things, but loyalty untrained is worse than cowardice. It means that you have the spirit to resist aggression, but not the training to' do it. Loyalty untrained is useless. A loyal regiment untrained is worse than baggage. A lot of loyal fellows carrying rifles means only so much cost to the nation; they are not fit to fight in any way. It means more than that; the expense is greater, the danger is greater. A few men trained in a nation are worth a whole regiment of untrained1 loyal men. The days of standing armies have gone, because they would have to be so large that it would be impossible to pay for them, and the people dread them. The old Saxon days have returned, when the whole nation must be armed; and the cheapest way to secure this is by training the youth of t'he land to handle a rifle just as we teach them to read and write and cipher. I was surprised to see the so-called labour leader in Canada taking the position he, did, when the true labour-leaders of Australia insist on every man in that country being irained to be a soldier, and on every boy over ten years of age-not optional, as 1 make it, on the part of their parents whether they shall go to camp or not-but forced to be trained in military work, forced to take a rifle and practice target shooting, forced to give their time and to some extent their means in developing themselves for the defence of their country.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: One would almost think, in listening to the impassioned appeal of the Minister of Militia, that the suggestion made by one of his war lords at the conference which was held here before Christmas, that conscription should be established in this country, had made an impression on the mind of the minister. I hope the day will never come -when we shall have conscription in Canada and every man will be forced into the army to be a trained soldier. What do we want an army for? We are not living in France or in Germany, or in Russia, or in Australia.

My hon. friend1 does not tell us why they are training their people in Australia and New Zealand. He knows why there is excitement in Australia and New Zealand that can never affect Canada.


Samuel Hughes: Why.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: He knows that it is because of the fear of an oriental invasion. He knows that the people want to keep those countries white men's countries. He knows that is why they are expending so much money on military organization and on navies, and I do not think he could conceive it as possible that those conditions could arise in Canada for generations to come. You would almost think, from what the minister has said, that if you have enough militarism in Canada, you can abolish all the churches in the land and people's souls will be saved by the militia and not by the grace of God. I am not trying to raise race against race or creed against creed. I believe in the militia to a certain extent. I believe we need it to help the police to enforce the civil law and to maintain peace and order; hut more than that we do not need, and any money that is spent for more than that is money spent in vain, and would be very much better used for other purposes. My hon. friend talks about defending our homes, our wives, sisters and sweethearts, and all that tommyrot. He knows there is no danger of invasion. He talks about trained men and says that loyal men not trained are worse than baggage in an army. He knows that more than 50 per cent of the men who went from Canada to South Africa were not members of the militia and probably never had been. I know that is true of those who went from the maritime provinces. And when these men were under arms ope month, you could not tell the difference between those who were trained and those who were not trained. If you are going to train the militia* of Canada to he of any use, all you want to do is to give them the rudiments of shooting. The training of forming fours and so on is useless. Imagine forming fours on the African -veldt. I admit that if you teach a young man to be a good shot, and he is ever required to defend his country, or even to go to foreign wars, he has an education which will make him a good soldier. I think the great trouble with my hon. friend and with his general staff is that they spend too much money on fuss and feathers and gold lace and not enough to teach young men how to shoot. I want to point out to the hon. member for Peterborough that these automobiles are not for transport, but for taking the staff on junketing tours. Let the minister give more money to the rifle clubs. I am not blaming my hon. friend for this; those who were running Mr. CAEVELL.
the militia matters in the other government were just as bad; but I find that in the great province of Ontario they give to the rifle associations the magnificent sum of $2,000, while they increase the pay of the general staff by thousands every year, and in the province of New Brunswick they give to the rifle associations the magnificent sum of $1,300.
Besides this they give a little every year to different rifle associations all over the country. Put together all the money that you pay to the militiamen, all the money you pay in rifle practice, all the money you pay that fits a man to be a soldier, and you have not spent a million dollars in the whole of Canada, but you are spending $8,000,000 in fuss and feathers and gold lace. I want the minister to get down to earth and look this matter in the face as a pure matter of business. If the minister has got enough knowledge of military matters, and I think as far as the present party is concerned he is the right man in the right place, he will talk business instead of talking hot air as he has been doing.


Mr. WILCOX.: One of the principles of our system of party government that I do admire is that our committees are nonpolitical, that we are there permitted to express views at variance with the views held on our own side of the House, and that in so doing we are not in any way disassociating ourselves from our own party. I desire to make a reference or two with respect to the order which has been given by the Minister of Militia for twelve automobiles. It would have been the greatest possible pleasure for me to have supported this contract, or order, if in my judgment I considered it proper. But from the facts, as they have been submitted to me, I am not exactly satisfied with the negotiations in connection with this order, so far as I understand them. I recognize that my hon. friend the Minister of Militia is a highly qualified man to fill with dignity, the position which he now occupies. He is a warrior, but I have a recollection at this time of other men who preceded him that were warriors. I think of Samson, way back in the old dispensation, who killed 5,000 Philistines with the jawbone of an ass. He was tempted and he fell.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Is there any fear of that with the minister?


Oliver James Wilcox: I fear that my hon. friend was tempted by an agent in his own constituency and he fell.


Mr. PUGSLEY.: It is very serious.


Rodolphe Lemieux: A spade is a spade.


Oliver James Wilcox: A spade is a spade and a club is a club. I have made it my practice since I have entered public life, and

long before, to always have the courage of my convictions. I do not believe that this thing is proper and I do not intend to support it, although, as I said before, it would give me the greatest possible pleasure to do so because it is placing an $11,000 contract with a manufacturing concern within the limits of my own constituency.


William Erskine Knowles: It is a contract given to Grits though.


William Pugsley: What is the matter?


Oliver James Wilcox: Give me time to make my statement. There mav be an excuse for my hon. friend <Mr. Hughes, Victoria), in making this mistake. I do not pretend to say that it was deliberate on his part, because I can see the ghost of Sir Frederick Borden in this matter. The principles which have been adopted in this and other departments of the government for the last fifteen years, in my judgment are clearly manifest in this transaction. I received a letter a few days ago from a gentleman in Walkerville and desire to place an extract or two from that letter upon the pages of * Hansard':
House a moment or two ago, I wrote as follows on March 8:
I have received your favour of March the Gth, and I beg to say in reply that I consider the only satisfactory feature in connection with the order given by the Minister of Militia to your agents for twelve automobiles to which yon have referred, is the fact that these cars are manufactured in the constituency which I am ait present trying honestly to represent. That fact alone may prevent me from opposing the transaction and the item will appear in (the supplementary estd-imateis to meet the expenditure.
In approaching the subject I absolutely deny that upon any occasion or at any time I have exerted an influence to have the order cancelled and placed with a firm outside mv constituency.
This matter was brought to my attention by a series of questions placed on the order paper by the Hon. Charles Murphy, and in view of the well established custom there was no excuse whatever that I should not have been consulted so that I might have been acquainted with the facts, hut I was not.
However, that is not here nor there so far as you are concerned; I will settle this point with the minister.
Walkerville, March S, 1912. Oliver H. J. Wilcox, Esq., M.P.,
House of Commons, Ottawa, Ont.
My dear Mr. Wilcox,-It has been mentioned to me that you are using your influence towards a reconsideration of the order recently jiven by the Department of Militia and Defence to the Ford Motor Company, of Walkerville, the idea being to have the order placed with a concern established outside your constituency.
I was at a loss to know, Mr. Chairman, where that information came from for un to that tune I had made no reference to it whatever, but I learned from a party of gentlmnen, one of them an ex-member of this House from Port Perry, where the agent who read this order hailed from, that when he got that order from the minister lie started for Walkerville, or communicated with Walkerville, and told the motor company to keep the member for Essex quiet.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: He reckoned without his host.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: How was he going to do it?


Oliver James Wilcox: It is pretty hard to do it, because I am not convinced that this is a proper transaction. I desire to place another communication upon ' Hansard.' I want my statement with respect to this matter to be absolutely clear, not so much for the benefit of the members of 'this House, but for the benefit of my own con stituents. In answer to the communice tion, an extract from which I gave to the
The next objection is that it has not been established to my satisfaction, and I can tell you to the satisfaction of all the members that have spoken to me upon the subject, the necessity of purchasing automobiles at the country's expense for a few staff officers and generals that are now drawing salaries ranging from $3,000 to $6,000 a year with expenses. While we are absolutely in accord with making all reasonable appropriations for the purposes of militia, and it is the prevailing opinion here that it is the colonels, the majors, the captains end the privates that are entitled to consideration, personally, I consider it neither sound public policy nor good common sense.
The objection is that the law strictly forbids a minister of the Crown to enter into a contract with an individual, firm or corporation for a greater amount than $5,000 without calling for tenders, and in this case the minister did not consult his colleagues nor even the representative of the constituency.
l'i'om the Hon. Charles Murphy's question, I learned that the order was given to the Ford Motor Company for twelve touring cars at the cost of $11,419.20. That would be $951.60 each. I have received a telegram from Windsor which gives me the information that the standard price for this class of car fully equipped is $800 f.o.b., Walkerville, so that the minister, without consultation with his colleagues, without consultation of the representative if the constituency, without application for enders as required by law, has given to *ome person $1,219.20 in excess of what -hould be paid.



In the light of these facts I am unable to see upon what ground this deal can be justified or defended when it is brought up in this House by the opposition, and I am inclined to the view that if the facts as they were presented to me are true, and that if this gets into politics there are two parties that will not be benefited by a discussion of it; one is the Minister of Militia and the other is the Ford Motor Company of Walkerville.
Now, in conclusion, I am always open to conviction, and. if you or your company can give me a satisfactory explanation of my objections, I will be just as enthusiastically in favour of the proposal as 1 am now opposed to it. If the minister had not approached me in room 16 in the presence of our members and we had some argument it would not have become the subject of so much discussion here as it is; and I may say that I have so far not taken any position that would jeopardize the interests of your company. I was not complaining because the contract had not been given, but the advisability of purchasing these machines for the purpose the minister has in mind is questionable, and Ihe method which he has adopted in securing them has not been met with favour by many of bis supporters, and I absolutely refuse to support that which I believe to be wrong. But, as you have been good enough to communicate with me. I will make no further reference^ to it with the hope that you may be able to give me a satisfactory explanation.
I remain, dear sir,
Truly yours,



[Stage Direction]
That communication was forwarded by me to a shareholder of the firm. I received a reply. But there is an interesting piece of history here that does not satisfy me. This agent went to Walkerville, or directed a communication _ to Walkerville, or telegraphed to Walkerville, or in whatever way he let that company know, I was not satisfied with that transaction. He gave that intelligence to Mr. Gordon McGregor, the manager, as I am informed, who happens to be a Liberal. Instead of Mr. McGregor communicating with me, he impressed that knowledge on a shareholder who happened to be on the other side of politics and a friend of mine. This is my information. He wrote to me and answered that communication in which I stated my objections. On March 15, 1912, one of the stockholders of the Ford Automobile Company wrote to me as follows :-
Dear Mr. Wilcox-I received your kind favour of 8th inst. and contents carefully noted. I thank you very much for so carefully giving me sudh full detail, and I must confess that your arguments are sound.
But I have here a communication that was directed by the president of this company, in which he attempts to explain some of the objections I had to the order. He said:
Mr. WILCOX
Dear Sir,-Answering the questions which yon have put to me, and which I assume are indirectly questions that have come from Mr. Wilcox regarding the order that was given by the Department of Militia and Defence, from information we have received indirectly in regard to this matter, we are led to believe that Mr. Wilcox has failed in placing this order with another concern, with the Beo concern. In this we might he mistaken, and it might he the Hupmobile or the M. and F. or Flanders, as these concerns are located in his constituency.
Let me say I never asked for that order to be given to any firm in my constituency; and in my firm judgment such an order or contract as that should be given upon tender, with opportunity allowed to all the various companies in this country to file their tenders. Now, with regard to the increase of price, Mr. McGregor says:
Regarding the price which has been paid us for these automobiles, $951.60, as you will note, the advertised price of our car is $850 f.o.b., Walkerville. But for this purpose there have been a lot of extras added in order to have the cars complete and in order to avoid the necessity of continually purchasing extras. For instance, the cars are specified with traction treads, which add an extra of $3,020 to our list for the set. There is also one extra traction tread casing, $1.25; 4 Dunlop tubes, $24.20; one top envelope, $5; one jack, $2. In addition to that there is a muffler cutout, a tire envelope and a set of tire holders. I have not before me the exact prices of these, but you can easily see that the price for a car with all these extras which have been specified would be more than $951.60. . .	_
So far as opposition from the Liberal side of the House is concerned, we don't think there will be any opposition and if Mr. Wilcox can indicate that there is any possibility of any coming up we will he very glad to take the matter up with some of the members on the Liberal side of the House.
He says he has forwarded me a copy of the special list; but not one of these items which he has mentioned in this communication is on this special list. Therefore, I take it, these extras which are referred to belong to the standard car which was sold for $850. In my judgment, as I said before, this contract should be let by public tender. It is with the greatest regret that I rise to oppose this order, and if a motion is made in this House against it, I should support the motion.
Samuel Hughes: I regret exceedingly the line of action my hon. friend has chosen to take. I have to say about 'the contract, that stands on its own merits. But knowing that the Ford machine was made in the hon. gentleman's riding, I thought I would please him by 'telling him that we had purchased for 'the department these 12 machines. What was his first remark? 'Can't you put in a word with that concern to help me?'
551b

I said, 'Certainly I will do so.' Accordingly I promptly notified the agent to that effect, that my hon. friend was in favour of the purchase. The next day he came to me and said, ' Why, the head of that [DOT]concern is a confounded Grit named McGregor; during the election he placarded his shop all over with appeals to his men to vote against me, and all that sort of thing.' I said' It makes no difference if the head of the firm is a Grit, the company is largely Conservative, and the jmen are always intelligent enough to 'vote Conservative. Then he asked me' why T didn't get some other machine, and 'he mentioned two or three others with agencies in Walkerville that I had never heard of before. He said, ' It would be tfar better for me if you would cancel the [DOT]order and put it with some other concern.' I need not go any further.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Did the hon. gentleman desire the purchase to be put up to tender?


Samuel Hughes: You cannot feet tenders for automobiles. He never asked me to invite tenders. I found then that my hon. friend misunderstood the situation entirely, he thought his was the [DOT]only concern in Canada that was making hutomobiles, and that I should have got [DOT]them from his riding. I thought I was doing the hon. gentleman a kindness in feiving him the information. I have given him the facts of the case, and from that time to this I have had nothing more to do with it. I will only add that when I found he was dissatisfied I told him one day what I thought about it, and I think he understood my position pretty well. From this very concern, when we tried to get them down we got a notification that if we ordered 100 machines they would not be sold for one cent less than we are giving for these machines. I do not know whether Mr. McGregor is a Grit or not, and I do not care. But I do know that the workingmen in any establishment in Canada would be largely Conservative. There are the facts of the case, and they cannot be contradicted.


Oliver James Wilcox: The question is whether the minister has taken the proper course. If he has, and if the price was in excess of the value of these machines, as I believe it was, then it is' an improper expenditure; if not, then it is. a proper expenditure. I have always had a high regard for the Minister of Militia and Defence. I dislike to offer any criticism of his official conduct, but I want to say to him that he is the only minister of the Crown that does not consult me upon matters pertaining to my constituency. I saw in one of the Canadian newspapers an item 175i
i
last year taken I think from one of the English papers which seemed to set forth one of the weaknesses of my hon. friend. The paper said that during the coronation proceedings in England he was invited to a place upon the platform with King George, and immediately he stepped upon the platform he spread all over it and there was not room on it for the King. Now I want to say to him that he is not going to spread all over North Essex on matters which affect the people of that constituency, which they have to pay for, without letting me know something about it. If he does not consult me I will consult him on the floor of parliament.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Would the minister tell me out of what vote he has purchased these automobiles?


Samuel Hughes: Out of the stores vote.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Was there a balance of last year in existence?


Samuel Hughes: They are ail paid for, and are to be delivered at various points all over Canada.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Who was the person to whom the order was given, spoken of by the hon. member for North Essex (Mr. Wilcox) ?
. Mr. HUGHES (Victoria). I think they are delivered through an agent in Toronto. I have driven a Ford automobile, and know what it is. I am surprised at the line of action my hon. friend has taken. I did not know what he meant when he said1 it would be much more to his advantage if I bought from another concern.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Had the member for North Essex called the attention of the' minister to what he has stated to the committee to-night, that these automobiles were purchased at a cost of almost $100 a piece more than the price he indicated they could be purchased for?


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman has given all the figures in the list, showing at what price they were purchased.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The hon. minister said that he had gone tnrough the price list, and his opinion was that the price was $100 more than what they could have been purchased at.


Oliver James Wilcox: Mr. McGregor, the president, sent me the previous list, and upon that list not one of those items appeared as extras which he states in his communication were extras. Therefore, I spoke of these items as Delonging to the machine?


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: And about $100 too much was paid for the machine?


Samuel Hughes: The standard price was $850; they will cost $951.21.


William Pugsley: Were these machines contracted for from the manufacturers or through an agent? The reason I ask is that we all know that the agent's commission on the sale of automobiles is a fairly good one, running all the way from 15 to 25 per cent, and if an ordinary commission was paid in this case the agent would have received a very handsome sum of money-$1,100 or $1,200.


Samuel Hughes: We wanted to get the machines direct, but we were informed that it would be absolutely impossible. No company would sell except through an agent in the locality where the purchase is made. That is the way the machines were bought. As far as the extras are concerned, I may say that the tires are a special kind of traction tires, 1 believe, and these and the other attachments are got so that in case these machines were away and anything went wrong they would have the equipment with them. 1 am very anxious that this whole matter shall be thoroughly investigated. I have just given the facts as they occurred. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Wilcox) made no objection what ever when I first drew his attention to it. I thought I had paid him a compliment in that I had purchased the machines in his riding. His first question was that I should put in a friendly word with the firm for him in order to help him, and then one or two days later he came to me and said: See here, that fellow McGregor is an awful Grit, and you will have to cancel the order and give it to some other person.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What was the politics of the agent from whom my hon. friend purchased the automobiles?


Samuel Hughes: I think he is a Grit. I never asked a man for a vote in my life, but I think this man is a Liberal.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What is his name?


Samuel Hughes: His name is Williams.


William Erskine Knowles: I would like to ask the minister whether he inquired of any other firm if he could get the machines direct and thus avoid the payment of the agent's commission? I know that in my own town eleven men got together and purchased machines. The machines came to tbem and they got them at net cost or at the same price as they would have cost an agent. If you multiplied the commission eleven or twelve times it would amount to a very considerable sum, and therefore 1 Mr. WILCOX.
would ask the minister if he inquired of other firms- in order to ascertain if it was possible to save that expense?


Samuel Hughes: Yes, and 1 may say that there were other firms that paid as'high as $500 commission on a machine. If you took a hundred machines from this firm it would not make any difference; you would still have to pay the commission.


William Erskine Knowles: Will the minister bring down the correspondence with other firms?


Samuel Hughes: I did not say that we had correspondence; I said that we consulted with other firms.


William Erskine Knowles: With the firms?


Samuel Hughes: We consulted the agents.


William Erskine Knowles: The minister knows that the agent has not the authority to say whether the firm will grant a better price or not.


Samuel Hughes: The company will not deal except through an agent.


William Erskine Knowles: I question that statement. I say that the company will deal with people who will take a certain number of machines.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I do not think we want to take any part in the little family quarrel on the other side as to whether the minister should or should not have bought Ford cars. But, the minister is in error when he says that the company will not sell, at less than catalogue prices if you take a large number. I do not know what the Ford Company will do-*-


Samuel Hughes: It is not only the Ford Company, but others.
Air. CARVELL-but in the last three weeks I have received a letter from the Cadillac -Company agreeing to sell machines to three persons at the special agent's discount, and I presume that what the Cadillac Company will do other companies will do. We have no fault to find with the Ford car, but what we say is that the minister has no right to buy automobiles for the general staff to go junketing around the country with.


Rodolphe Lemieux: The minister, while he was on this side of the House, condemned the payment of commissions to middlemen upon purchases by the government. I would like to know from the minister if he intends, when he makes purchases for the Militia Department, to pay a commission to the middlemen?


Samuel Hughes: There has been no commisison paid to t-lie middleman.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: The hon. member for North Essex says there has been.


William Pugsley: I understand the minister admits that the purchase was made through an agent, and this agent, no doubt, has got a pretty handsome commission out of it.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman should be a judge of commissions.


William Pugsley: I understand there is no question about it. I know something about automobiles, and I know that they allow the agents very handsome commissions. My hon. friend makes the excuse that the company would not sell except through an agent. That may be the case with the Ford Company. The Ford Company is one of the most reputable companies in Canada, and I am not going to say whether the minister got these automobiles as cheaply as he could have got them, but, while I am upon my feet, I have one word to say in praise of the minister. I think he deserves great credit for refusing to be bulldozed by the hon. member for North Essex (Mr. Wilcox). That gentleman spoke as if he ran the constituency. He says, indeed, that the Minister of Militia is the only minister that does not consult him and defer to his wishes in this constituency. We had here not long ago the spectacle of the Minister of Customs being obliged to listen to the remarks of the hon. member for North Essex in the House when he said that he had succeeded in having officials dismissed, and that he was not going to remain still until he had other men dismissed who had taken any part whatever in the election or had expressed political views. That is a wrong position for the hon. member for North Essex to take.


Oliver James Wilcox: I did not take any such position. 1 realize my position in this House, and in my constituency, and as a young member I have tried to conduct myself in the manner in which I believe every hon. member should conduct himself, and for which I think I should be given credit. I have tried to act as a young member of this House in such a way as to commend my course to the favourable judgment of the older men in this House, but in so far as matters with respect to my own eonstituencv are concerned, I have only desired to be consulted in so far as I have a right to be consulted, having regard to the principle of government which we have established in this country. If I am not the representative of the constituency I might as well go home. If I have certain rights and privileges under our constitutional form of government, I feel that I would not be doing my duty to the people of
my constituency if I did not exercise what I believe to be my rights in their behalf.


William Pugsley: Does not the hon. gentleman remember that not a great while ago he made a threat in this House that he was going to have certain officials dismissed and that he spoke as if he had charge of the Department of Customs? That did not strike me as being exactly the right position for a private member, although an influential member of the House and a supporter of the government, to take. Then the Minister of Militia and Defence has stated, and it has not been denied by the hon. gentleman, that the great objection which he raised to the purchase of these automobiles was that the manager of this company, Mr. McGregor, happened to be a Liberal. I think the hon. gentleman had no right to object simply for the reason that the minister should have exercised his best judgment in making the purchase of these automobiles.


Oliver James Wilcox: I cannot allow the statement of the hon. member for St. John (Mr. Pugsley) to go unchallenged.
I recognize iny hon. friend to be a very acute and shrewd politician, and the motive which actuated him to make the statement he has just made is to enable him to play a little game of politics up in North Essex. I cannot allow that statement to go unchallenged. I want to say again that I did not, and I do not now, and I do not intend in the future, to bulldoze anybody in this House. But as a free representative of a free people I intend to exercise in this parliament the right which I have under the constitution. As to the reference about Mr. McGregor being a Liberal, I have evidence from a shareholder in the firm that Mr. McGregor never took any part in politics. It does not make any difference whether he did or not so far as I am concerned. I realize that the system of government we have in this country, is a party system, and that human ingenuity has never devised a better system of government than the party system, and I have absolutely no hard feelings towards a Liberal. If this matter is regular and right, all right. I have stated my position clearly to the House, and to the country, and to my constituents and upon that position I wi;l stand or fall.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Will the minister bring down to-morrow all the papers in connection with the purchase.


Samuel Hughes: We will bring down all the papers.


Mr. McCREA.: No doubt the minister is a first-class Minister of Militia, but he is a bad purchasing agent. I know that some * time ago the Ford Motor Company would

give agent's commission to any man buying four cars or over, and that the commission was twenty per cent. The catalogue price on that machine is $850 and it would appear that the Minister of Militia not only paid the catalogue price but something over one hundred dollars per machine above the catalogue price. That is not very good generalship in a business transaction.


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman (Mr. McCrea) is stating what is absolutely contrary to the fact. The letter which the hon. gentleman read here shows that the machines were sold for less than the catalogue price.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Not at all.


Samuel Hughes: Excuse me. The machine was sold less than the catalogue price when you consider the extras.


Francis N. McCrea: I had the agency of the Ford Motor car and I know that was their system of doing business two years ago and 1 don't believe they have changed it since. Any person buying four cars or over got the agent's commission which is twenty per cent, and on the catalogue the price of that car this year is $850.


Samuel Hughes: That is right.


Francis N. McCrea: And you paid something over $951.


Samuel Hughes: We got extras.


Francis N. McCrea: I am not making any accusation, but I repeat that while the hon. gentleman may be a good military man, he is a bad purchasing agent.


William Chisholm: I happen to know something about how the Ford company sell these cars. I know of a case where four or five persons wished to get a car at wholesale prices, and they communicated with the Ford Motor company, but they could not get the discount. They got over that by one of their number taking the agency for that town, and he entered into a contract that he would sell at least four motor cars and he got the benefit of the discount and the price to the purchasers was correspondingly less. The fact is, that the Ford company would not sell, except through their agent, and .all this talk we have been hearing in years gone by, about middlemen's profits and buying from middlemen, is much on a par with this case; there is really nothing in the matter at all, if the facts are inquired into.


William Erskine Knowles: I have a question to ask of the Minister of Militia, and of the leader of the government. On the 28th of Mr. McCREA.
February, I read in this House, ,a letter written by the Minister of Militia and sent to the city cleTk of Moosejaw. That letter accused the gentlemen who compose the city council of Moosejaw of being blundering folk and other things. I want to ask if there has been any letter addressed to the Prime Minister by the city council or any other body in Moosejaw, complaining of that letter and asking that there be an apology.


Robert Laird Borden: There was a letter written to me, with regard to the incident. I cannot recall the precise terms of it. I answered the letter at the time.


William Erskine Knowles: Does the right hon. gentleman remember whether an apology was asked for, from the Minister of Militia?


Robert Laird Borden: I have no recollection of that.


Samuel Hughes: Now that the subject is brought up, I might suggest to my hon. friend that he might suggest to the city council of Moosejaw, that an apology is due to the Minister of Militia. I have had very courteous and gentlemanly correspondence from the BoaTd of Trade of Moosejaw, who are evidently gentlemen.	[DOT]


William Erskine Knowles: I cannot allow that to go without a word. The city council of Moosejaw is just as reputable a body of men as can be found anywhere, and the Minister of Militia should give some reason for making that statement in regard to the city council of the city in which I reside. He has spoken of them in his letter as being a blundering body and has intimated to them as clearly as he could that he does not want to bother with having further conversation with them, and he states here in the House that one reason he does not want to take the matter up with them is that they are Grits-wherever he got that information I do not know. I say that the city council of Moosejaw deserves more courteous treatment from a minister of the Crown. Let me tell the hon. gentleman that the city of Moosejaw gave his party a very substantial majority at the last election, and let me tell him further that if he and the others who are under the Prime Minister will continue writing letters like that, I question if there will be much more appreciation of the Conservative party in that city. I appeal to my right hon. friend and I protest against a minister of the Crown writing such letters to the city council of Moosejaw and making such remarks about them. My hon. friend and myself have extended courteous and friendly treatment to each other for the years we

have been in this Chamber, bnt I never heard of a minister of the Crown before making such entirely uncalled for remarks about a representative body. I hope the Prime Minister will see that that sort of thing is discontinued.
Military eaimips, $75,000.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: How many camps will there be for the cadet corps this summer?


Samuel Hughes: The present intention is that in almost all localities there will be camps where the friends can visit the cadets. The officers commanding divisions have been asked to send in reports and probably there will be a camp for every county or riding or for some given area.
This item is increased owing to the fact that there are more cad'et corpsi established under the Strathcona Trust.
Clothing and necessaries-for the entire, militia, including the permanent force, $150,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Does the minister really expect during the coming fiscal year to get along on the amount he asks for in this estimate, or does he anticipate a supplementary estimate to make up the deficiency?


Samuel Hughes: I am afraid that something extra will be required, and that there will have to be a supplementary estimate.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: That is what I feared. My hon. friend stated before dinner that he was not increasing the cost of the militia this year. As I stated, he admits that he is increasing it by $191,000, and I believe that it will: be found! that he is increasing it by half a million dollars. My hon. friend is not without guile in the manner in which he has made up his estimates. I want to call attention to a particularly bright operation of the mind of my hon. friend in making up these estimates. A guilty conscience needs no accuser, and when my hon. friend sent out his famous pamphlet justifying the military expenditure of this country, and showing that it is a positive agency for good against all the agencies for bad, that is a tacit admission that there is something wrong, and he is tTying to explain away or to edheate the public mind to receive the real facts when they come. We find in all these items connected with the fuss and feathers and show, something which goes to the glorification of my hon. friend, that there are increases while all the co-called decreases are on the hard business end of the transaction . You find1 a decrease of $25,000 in clothing and necessaries. My
hon. friend admits now that will have to be made up in the supplementaries. You find a decrease of $75,000 in customs dues. In all probability they will be the same as last year, if not more. He then provides for a decrease of $55,000 in the engineer services, which I understand means the construction of targets, butts and rifle ranges. I prophesy that just as much money will be spent on that service this year as ever. Then, there is a reduction of $4,150 on the Royal Military College. If you add all these together you have an estimated reduction of $234,500. But there will not he a reduction. Practically all that money will have to be expended. Then you have an admitted over-expenditure as compared with last year of $191,000, and in last year s estimates there was $155,000 for the coronation contingent, which was exceptional. If you add these three sums together,_ you have an admitted increase of the militia expenditure of this year over that of last year of $580,000. Is this a reduction of the cost of militarism in this country, or was I right when I said that we were drifting more than ever into the vortex of militarism? I want my hon. friend_ to _ think of this. I know that he is a militarist, but a few jolts such as he has received to-night will set even him thinking.
Militia and Defence-customs dues, $125,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: On what basis does the minister estimate a reduction of $75,000?


Samuel Hughes: It is estimated1 that there will be fewer deliveries of orders from the old country. The expenditure for 1911-12 will be heavy, but that for 1912-13 will not be heavy, and the deliveries on the old contracts are all made.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Is my hon. friend importing heavy guns this year?
. Mr. HUGHES (Victoria). There are some to be delivered this year which were ordered two or three years ago.


William Pugsley: I would like to know what items are embraced1 in the amount of $173,850, of appropriations which are stated to be not required for 1912-13. It is by deducting that amount from the total expenditure that my hon. friend makes the increase only $191,000. If he leaves that out, the total increase will be $364,850.


Samuel Hughes: The amount of $173,850 is made up of $155,000 for the coronation, and $18,150 not required.


William Pugsley: That was expended last year.


Samuel Hughes: I know, we put that in here.


William Pugsley: Yes, but it is put in differently. My hon. friend will see that the effect of putting it in that way is to reduce his increase of expenditure from $364,350 down to $191,000. I cannot for the life of me see why my hon. friend should have .put in that $173,000, and then have used those figures in order to show that the actual ordinary expenditure this year is not as the figures show, some $350,000 odd dollars more than was the ordinary expenditure last year.


Samuel Hughes: I am doing simply what the ex-Minister of Public Works did in his own department again and again. The Auditor General requires it to be so published.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I would like to know from the minister, if it would not be giving away any military secrets, whether he is placing any new guns in the batteries in the Citadel at Halifax.


Samuel Hughes: If the hon. gentleman would be good enough to come to the department I will show him all the details in connection with the matter. I can say, however, that I have not given any order for any guns at Halifax.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: For the security of this country we ought to have the very best guns placed in those batteries, and if they are not there now they should be put there and no criticism will be offered from this side.


Samuel Hughes: If the hon. gentleman will be good enough to come down to the department I will be glad to show him what is proposed in regard to Halifax.


William Pugsley: The minister says that there appears in the estimates of the Department of Public Works an amount which was utilized the previous year for some special purpose, and for which there was not a similar appropriation in the current year, and it was used in order to show a decrease. That is not the case. If my hon. friend will take the estimates for this year of the Department of Public Works he will find that although the appropriation is not required, or added in the column of the previous year, yet the alleged decrease is not shown in any of the columns. Neither is it shown in the estimates of the Department of Railways and Canals. I do not know if it is shown in the estimates of any other department, but it seems to be specially shown in the Department of Militia and Defence, and my hon. friend will see that it conveys an entirely erroneous impression. It is calculated to give the idea to the House and to the country that there has only been an increase of $191,000 upon the ordinary


Samuel Hughes: militia expenditure, whereas the hon. gentleman knows the increase is $364,350.


Samuel Hughes: Will the hon-gentlemen tell the House that every time the estimates for the Department of Public Works were prepared, they were not prepared in the way I state? If he does he does not know what he is talking about.


William Pugsley: I think I stated that the amount did appear, but it is not carried out into a column showing decreases.


Samuel Hughes: Neither is
this.


William Pugsley: If my hon. friend will look at the militia items on page 48 he will see that the appropriations not required for 1912-13 are carried out to a special column under the heading of decrease, and that amount is added in, in order to show a decrease. You do not find that in the estimates of the Public Works Department, or in the estimates for the Railways and Canals Department, and I doubt whether you will find it in any other department. It is only the Militia Department that has adopted that plan. Why has there been a different rule followed in regard to the Militia Department from what has been adopted in the case of the other departments referred to?


Samuel Hughes: On all matters we find a decrease for 1912-13 in the Public Works estimates.


William Pugsley: Yes, but you do not find the amount carried into a column as showing a decrease. If my hon. friend looks at it he will see the difference.


Samuel Hughes: I do not see any difference whatever.


William Pugsley: If he had left that out of the column showing a decrease, the actual increase upon the ordinary expenditure would be $364,350, whereas it is shown in this column as being only $191,000.


Samuel Hughes: Will my hon. friend explain how we could add up the estimates for 1911-12, .and make it $8,121,850, and subtract from $8,312,850, tile appropriations required for 1912-13, without getting anything else than $191,000. That was done in the case of the Public Works estimates last year, and the same thing was done in every estimate that was ever brought down. The point the hon. gentleman is making, is not well taken. All he has to do is to subtract the total estimates of one year from the total estimate of the previous year.


William Pugsley: If the hon. gentleman will turn to Public Works of Ontario, he will find in the column of 1911-12, the ap-

propriation not required for 1912-13. Those refer to Public Works which have been completed, and therefore they no longer appear will not appear in the estimates of 1912-13. The point I wish to make is this: The actual increase upon the ordinary expenditure is $364,350, and in order to reduce it down to $191,000, the hon. gentleman has added in two or three items in regard to services which are past and gone, which ought not to appear, which could not appear during the present years.


Samuel Hughes: Does the exMinister of Public Works say that an expenditure of $155,000 should be kept out of these estimates? The hon. gentleman will find in his own department for last year, 1911-12, the sums to be voted, and the sums to be voted for 1912-13, and then he will find set apart on the right hand, the increase and decrease in separate columns. Will the hon. gentleman tell me how he could take the total figures for 1911-12 and subtract them from the estimates required for 1912-13, and get any other sum than $191,000. He cannot do it. He knows that the law requires the amount to be there, and the Auditor General requires it there and it is figured up in that way.


William Pugsley: If the hon. gentleman will take the appropriations for harbours and rivers, he will find there is no column showing a decrease.


Samuel Hughes: Dare we leave out that sum of $155,000 in preparing our estimates? I ask the hon. gentleman that question.


William Pugsley: What I say is, that the effect of dealing with the details of the Militia department differently from what you deal with the details of the department of Public Works, is to convey to the committee an entirely erroneous impression.


Mr. SHARPE (North Ontario).: The hon. gentleman has not answered the minister's question.


William Pugsley: But does not my hon. (Mr. Hughes, Victoria) see that in the details of the Militia Department he has a column showing increases and decreases which does not appear in the details of the Department of Public Works. He is entirely in error in the statement he makes, and does not he see that the comparison made misleads one who reads these accounts.


Samuel Hughes: No, hut I am determined that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Pugsley) shall not mislead the House. The details are given here for one year and for another year, and the increases are
shown and the decreases are shown. If you subtract one from the other you get the right figures. That is what is required by the law, and any child can make the subtraction.


William Pugsley: In the Public Works, there is no column showing decreases


Samuel Hughes: There is a total for each year.


William Pugsley: Let me ask the hon. minister this question, apart from what I say in regard to this column showing increases and decreases, is not this true?- that upon the ordinary expenditure for military purposes, as between the coming year and the year that will close on the 31st of this month, there is an actual increase of $634,350?


Samuel Hughes: No. If the hon. gentleman will turn to page 4, I will convict him out of his own mouth. Item XVII is ' Public Works-Income, $18,614,030.71, for 1911-12; and $14,515,380 for 1912-13; authorized by statute, $15,000; total, $14,530,380, a decrease of $4,083,650.71'. There is the very thing that the hon. gentleman claims is not done. We have done the same thing in Militia and Defence except that instead of having separate columns we put both in one column and indicate increase or decrease with a plus or a minus sign. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Pugsley) should know what the law requires.


William Pugsley: My hon. friend persists in misunderstanding me. I say that in all departments, the Auditor General puts in the amount for the previous year and the amount for the coming year in separate columns. But in the case of the Public Works, when you come to the details, the amount of appropriations not required for the present year is not carried into the column and added to the decrease. You will not find that in the detail of the Public Works or the Railways and Canals. Why the Auditor General has allowed it to be put in the Militia Department and possibly some others I do not know.


Samuel Hughes: But I have just shown the hon. gentleman that I do find it in the Public Works.


William Pugsley: Not in the details. At the bottom of each section appears ' appropriations not required for 1912-13.' In Public Works these amounts are not carried out into the column showing decrease, but in the Militia and Defence they are.


Samuel Hughes: Will the hon. gentleman show how it should be done to comply with the law?


William Pugsley: Do it as it is done in the case of the Public Works. If the hon. gentleman will look at page 58, he will see at the end of the Nova Scotia votes, a line ' appropriations not required for 1912-13.'


Samuel Hughes: The hon. gentleman is dealing with the details, and we do not want'that.


William Pugsley: It is the details that the hon. gentleman (Mr. Hughes, Victoria) is at now?


Samuel Hughes: No. If the hon. gentleman will turn to the militia votes and wipe out the increases and decreases- take that away entirely


William Pugsley: My hon. friend will not add to the regularity of the debate by interrupting.


Samuel Hughes: Well, go on.


William Pugsley: I am speaking of Public Works for Nova Scotia, and you will find there the line that I have just quoted. That means that these services have been performed, and there is no necessity for further appropriations for them. Now, -see what was done in the Militia. There is a column which we do not find in Public Works, and the column shows the decreases as compared with the previous year.
. And there is added to these decreases the total of these appropriations not required for 1912-13, including such extra services as the expenses of the coronation. It comes to this, and the hon. minister will not deny it, that upon the ordinary expenses of the coming year, as compared with the ordinary expenses of the year about closing, the expenditure is $364,350 greater instead of about $190,000 as one would suppose on looking at this column of decreases.


Samuel Hughes: Does not the hon. gentleman see that in the coming year there may be items-for instance, we are building a drill-shed here. Suppose [DOT] this drill-shed post $10,000 last year; this should1 be put in and ear-marked, because it will not be used for another year. The fact is the hon. gentleman (Mr. Pugsley), is in a hole and is trying to argue himself out of it. I have shown him that on page 4 he will see the thing exactly, except that we, instead of having it in two columns have it in one with the plus or minus sign. The law requires it, the Auditor General demands it, and we observe the law. If the hon. gentleman did not observe the law when a minister I am not responsible for it; I am sorry to say that that is true of many of the things that were done under the late government.


Mr HUGHES (Victoria).: 


William Pugsley: But the Minister of Finance is doing exactly the same thing with respect to the Public Works for' the coming year as was done last year. He has not added the appropriation that was not required in the column of decreases.


Samuel Hughes: If the hon. gentleman will turn to page 78 he will find the same thing is done as is done in the case of Militia and Defence.


William Pugsley: That is the lighthouse and coast service.
Mr. HUGHES (Victoria;. It is absolutely in accordance with the instructions of the Minister of Finance.


William Pugsley: Why does not he do it in the case of public works?


Samuel Hughes: It is done in the case of public works.


William Pugsley: No.


Samuel Hughes: I refer him
again to page 45


William Pugsley: My hon. friend knows


Samuel Hughes: I have the floor, and1 the hon. gentleman will excuse me; it is my turn. On page 77 and 78 he will find the same thing.
Grants to associations and hands, $58,000.


William Frederic Kay: Would the minister tell us if there is any truth in the report published in the ' Free Press ' to-night that the government are leaving Rockliffe and buying a lot of land on Lake Deschenes for rifle purposes?


Samuel Hughes: The matter is under consideration. We are not in a position to give any details yet.


William Frederic Kay: Would the minister _ state what is the reason for leaving Rockliffe?


Samuel Hughes: It was found necessary to acquire certain additional lands at Kockliffe, some 200 acres. We found the price asked was enormous, amounting to about $150,000, and it was also found that the ranges would be comparatively inadequate. A number of officers of the department were looking elsewhere to see if we could get a better area. I would not like to say too much about it at the present time, I have gone as far as I can in the matter.


William Frederic Kay: Has any option been taken on the property?


Samuel Hughes: Yes.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Who is acting for the government?


Samuel Hughes: Colonel Biggar has charge of the matter.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Who is the real estate agent?


Samuel Hughes: Colonel Biggar *does all the buying.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Have you come to any decision yet as to where you are going?


Samuel Hughes: Not finally decided.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: This item refers to grants to associations and bands. I want my hon. friend to consider the advisability of increasing this item. I have always felt that perhaps one of the greatest pleasures of militiamen is the possession of a good band, I believe a good band is a good recruiting agent. One of the great difficulties of militia organizations is to keep up their band. The hon. gentleman knows that the officers all over the country have to contribute of their own substance, they are asking the municipalities to contribute, and have to get up entertainments to keep up a military band. I think I am safe in saying that once in about five years they go to pieces and have to be re-organized. I think the hon. gentleman might well take out of the millions he is spending a greater sum to assist the bands, and it would be more profitably expended than the money he is spending, for instance, on automobiles.


Samuel Hughes: I have now found the vulnerable point in my hon. friend, he is a lover of music. I have great pleasure in saying to him that his views and mine are in exact harmony, and I will be only too glad to meet his views.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What subsidies will my hon. friend give to the pipers?


Samuel Hughes: It is always a pleasure for me to hear pipe music, although most people dislike it.


George Perry Graham: The minister says his views are in accord with those of my hon. friend	from Carleton,	N.B.,	(Mr.	Carveil).	As my hon. friend	from	Carleton, N.B., says,	it	is a difficult
thing,	particularly in a small place
where they don't get many encouragements, for the militia associations to keep up a band. In the town of Brockville we have what is	called the 41st	Regimental	band,I think	one of the best	bands	in the Dominion of Canada. We all contribute a little to keep up this band. Not only is it a splendid thing for the town, but it is a real assistance in recruiting the regiment. I represented to the former Minister of Militia that as these bands were composed of young men, who gave their time freely and with very little pay they might well be more liberally supported by the government
without a big drain on the treasury. The young men in these bands are usually mechanics who work hard in the day tipie, and spend their evenings in practice. In addition to that, they are not ordinary men, because they must have a good deal of musical ability. I think no better addition to the expenditure could be made than to encourage these bands. I hope the minister, in his supplementary estimates, will put in an amount for the encouragement of regimental bands.


Mr. LALOR.: And to encourage country bands generally.


Samuel Hughes: I heartily agree with what the hon. gentlemen have said about that. Any one who ever commanded a regiment knows that it is quite an expense to officers and men to keep it up. *


Mr. MACLEAN (Halifax).: Do the grants go to the leaders of these regimental bands?


Samuel Hughes: I do not know the details. The grant is made to the band, sometimes as much as $150. However, I will be delighted to meet the wishes of the hon. gentlemen, and I have requested my department to put an item in the estimates for that purpose for another year. I hope now that the hon. gentleman for Carleton, (N.B., (Mr. Oarvell) and his friends will allow the rest of these items to go through with a sweep.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Don't forget the pipers.


Samuel Hughes: Certainly not. I count the pipers as musicians.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What do you pay the pipe band?


Samuel Hughes: The 59th Glengarry had a very nice band a few yeaTS ago. They received a band allowance.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: Both of these Highland regiments have regular bands and then they have the pipes. I do not think there has been a special grant in that case. Where there has been a grant it has simply gone foT the band itself and not for the pipe music. I would like the minister to take that into consideration.


Samuel Hughes: There is one important matter that has not been touched on, and that is that the band men have to pay a high duty on instruments coming into this country. Officers of the Highland and other regiments who cannot get their uniforms made in this country have to pay very high duties. I have been endeavouring to make an arrangement on the old basis so that these things will come in free of duty, but the present Minister of Customs, like his predecessor, is invulnerable,

and I have been seriously considering whether I should not put a vote in the estimates to' pay the customs duty on that class of articles, in addition to the guns, etc., which we import. In bringing in these instruments the boys have to pay the duty out of their own pockets.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I think that in the past the band instruments for purely regimental bands have been allowed in free of duty; at least that was the law years ago.


Samuel Hughes: Yes, but that has all been changed.-


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I would support the minister if he would give us more music and less automobiles.


Samuel Hughes: No, we will have 24 more automobiles next year.


William Frederic Kay: Would the minister state whether there is any provision made for giving the cadets rifle practice in their camps?


Samuel Hughes: That is the intention.


William Frederic Kay: I wish to make a suggestion with regard to the annual training, and that is that the officers be compelled to take the rifle practice.


Samuel Hughes: It is now optional with the officers to take rifle practice.


William Frederic Kay: I think not.


Samuel Hughes: I think that an officer can take it if he chooses. Above all things an officer should not only be able to teach his men, but to' show his men how to shoot. I will look into the matter and let the hon. gentleman know, and if it is not the case I will promise him that it will be the case.


William Frederic Kay: In the last four years in the camp at Farnham the officers have been refused rifle shooting.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: There is another matter that I .want to bring to the attention of the minister specifically, and that is the grant to these rifle associations. I have stated here to-night, and I wish to reiterate, that in my opinion the only real benefit we get from this expenditure is in the efficiency achieved by the men in rifle shooting. We only spend $58,000 on bands and associations altogether. In my opinion, the only real training which the militia enjoy is in rifle shooting. That is the important thing, and while we are spending some money in teaching these men how to shoot at camps of instruction, and possibly also spending some money at the different rifle clubs, it strikes me that in order to keep up the interest in rifle shooting you have Mr. HUGHES (Victoria).
to have regular associations, and in that way the men become proficient to some extent. The object of every rifle club and of all training in the militia is to qualify a man to be an expert shot. You may say that the man does not go there for the money he gets, but notwithstanding that, we must remember that many of the best shots in the country are not wealthy men, but that as a rule they are poor men and the men who wrould have the greatest interest in rifle shooting are the men who really feet that the prizes they can win mean something to them. They are an inducement to the rich man as well as to the poor man. When you consider the enormous amount of money we are spending on the militia you will, I am sure, agree that we can afford to increase the grant to encourage rifle shooting. I do not know whether we have increased the amount in the last 25 years or not.


Samuel Hughes: Very little.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Very little, if any. A great many years ago when I was younger, I took an interest in rifle shooting and used to attend the meeting of the provincial rifle association. My recollection is that the association received $1,300. However, with the increase of the militia estimates from $3,000,000 to $8,000,000 there has not been a proportionate increase in the branch of education which really should be encouraged, and that is rifle shooting. I think the minister might very well increase the grant even if he has to cut down something else.


Samuel Hughes: I was the father of a proposal, and now it is coming back to me, and I am asked to earrv into practice the theory which I advanced while in opposition long years ago.	At the
present time the great meeting in Canada for - competition in rifle shooting is the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association meeting. It is absolutely impossible for men to come here from a distance and compete. The people of Ottawa, Brockville, Kingston, and others living in places within easy distance of the ranges enjoy a great advantage over those who live at a distance. The chance of winning the King's prize at Bisley is the hope of every rifleman in Canada and, while I appreciate the assistance given by the provincial rifle associations to rifle shots to come here and take part, those who live in the maritime and the western provinces are fiandicapped as compared with those who live in Ontario and Quebec. The proposition I have made is that we should pay the transportation expenses of one man who has never won a prize in the Dominion Rifle Association matches from each corps. I think that would encourage the boys to practise at home and to compete for' the privilege

[DOT]of coming to Ottawa. Let the government pay the transport only, not the entrance fee, of one man from every unit, even from the most remote part of Canada, to Ottawa. If my hon, friends have any suggestions to make in that regard I will ^>e glad to hear them.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: I think *that the idea of my hofi. friend the Minister of Militia and Defence is a good one, and I also think that the suggestion of the hon. member for Carleton, N.B. (Mr. Carvel!) is along the right lines, because the ultimate object of the training which is given in the militia is to produce good shots. I would like to see the minister allow the captains of the companies to nominate one or two shots, and give them their transport to the annual meeting of the provincial associations.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I am afraid you would have trouble there. Each man must work his own way to the meeting.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: I do not think so. Most of the men who attend the association meeting are pot hunters. You cannot get men to go to the association meeting and compete with good shots. If the minister would allow the officers to nominate two, three, or four men and give them transport to the provincial association meeting it would give a great impetus to the shooting, and the best men then could come down to Ottawa, after having gone to the meeting of the provincial association, at the expense of the department. That would produce a great deal of interest in rifle shooting, it would encourage young shots and not pot hunters, and it would be a move upon right lines.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: At this late hour I do not propose to discuss the question in all its details. The idea of the minister, I think, is a good one. But I am afraid that if he allowed these men to be appointed or selected by the commanding officer there .might be a charge of partiality. I would prefer to let each man win his own spurs in his own .corps. That is a matter of detail. I have no doubt the minister will be able to work out something.


Mr. MORPHY.: At the annual camp in London two years ago, the Militia department placed in the hands of the men the Ross rifle, and told them to shoot with it. At that time the regulation was, that the men would be paid the increase for efficiency m shooting and as the men were absolutely unacquainted with this rifle, the result was miserable shooting, and widespread discontent with the department and criticism of it by the men. That extended through the whole western district of Ontario, because the men thought it was a trick of the government to take from them the pay they would otherwise have earned, in addition to the miserable pittance they receive. I cannot conceive that any government would descend to such a practice, nor .do I make such .a charge against the late government, but the result of it was, that the men fell away from the regiments, in pique and anger. I -would ask the Minister of Militia to bear that incident in mind. I believe that mainly because of it, the 28th regiment did not go into the annual instruction camp last year, and owing to the widespread discontent that prevailed, because of the incident, it has had the effect of practically killing the regiment. It seems to me that the Minister of Militia would be well advised to make a note of that. Then, with regard to regimental bands, I may say that the 28th regiment's band has been dead for years, and the regiment has to depend for its music on the Grand Trunk band, of the City of Stratford. The Wellington regiment the 30th once had a splendid band, but its headquarters are now fifty-five miles away from the regimental headquarters. I mention this, so as to impress upon the minister that if the regiments are going to have bands, they should be regimental bands at headquarters. For my own part, I feel that whether through intent or not, the regimental service of this country has fallen to a very low standard, and I think something should be done. After listening to the remarks made by hon. gentlemen on both sides, I have come to the conclusion that there is no way in this country of developing the militia Iservice other than through the training of the young men of the country in the schools and colleges of the Dominion. You cannot get men in this country to go out for seventy-five cents and a dollar a day and wear out a pair of four dollar boots in the dews of the morning, for fun and pleasure. You have to recognize that times have changed. There has been a good deal said about automobiles to-night. I think the whole department wants to be shaken up, and if the minister will use an automobile for himself instead of giving it to his officials, and go over the ground in one of these machines, he might be doing a great service to the country.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: What is the attitude of the National Rifle Association with regard to the sights on the Ross rifle?


Samuel Hughes: I heard unofficially, that the Dominion Rifle Association had communicated with the National Rifle Association, and that the latter have

agreed to violate their own law and accept certain sights (the Birmingham Small Arms company's sights, etc., made in the old land, is attached to the Boss rifle), they break their rule in that the mode of attachment disfigures to a certain extent the woodwork. I am not expressing any opinion on the matter one way or the other. I am waiting further information.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I hope the minister will not agree to any such proposition.


Samuel Hughes: I have nothing to do with that.


Andrew Archibald MacDonald: I hope he will not agree to it in so far as his consent is concerned. There is no reason why the Sutherland Bifle sight should not be used attached to the Boss rifle as it is. The theory upon which the objection is based is that as it is attached the difficulty is it would interfere in actual warfare with the use of .the rifle, but that seems ridiculous when they substitute for that method an attachment on the side, which manifestly would be of no value whatever in warfare as it would be broken off and lost immediately. The policy of the department has been to encourage this Canadian industry which manufactures sights in Canada, and I hope the minister will carry out the position he indicated he would take when we discussed this question before.


Samuel Hughes: The minister is not in the habit of changing very readily.


Edward Walter Nesbitt: Is anything done to encourage rifle clubs in the country?


Samuel Hughes: The regulations give the rifle clubs one dollar per member up to forty members besides one hundred rounds of ammunition.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: In my county we have an excellent regiment but there is no band in connection with it. There are however some very excellent bands in the county and if the minister engages bands to accompany the regiment to camp I can tell him that he can easily find a very excellent band in my county. I hope the minister will make some arrangement with the colonel of the 94th to give the regiment a band when they are going into camp.


Samuel Hughes: The regulations provide that no man can wear a uniform in camp unless he is sworn in for three years, and that applies to the band. Of course, in case a bandsman should not be able to return the following year, I have never known a commanding officer so shortsighted as to force that man out. In many cases the band is not really part and parcel of the regiment, although it is supposed to be. The proper plan would be for the band Mr. HUGHES (Victoria).
in my hon. friend's town to regard itself as part of the regiment, and they would soon discover that the people would recognize them as the 94th band which would be a help to them in getting engagements. The regulation with regard to the band rests with the officers of the regiment.
Headquarters and district staff, $183,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: What is the cause of the increase in this vote?


Samuel Hughes: There is an increase under General French's report. I am ready to justify that report and to give satisfactory reasons for this whole staff expenditure, which has been gradually growing in the last four or five years. At first I was very much opposed to it, but during the last four or five years I have, come round. We have, by arrangement between the colonies and the empire, an Imperial general staff, and Canada has the advantage of having, in every division and district, an Imperial staff officer from the old country, who is loaned to us for two years, in order to train up our men. These officers were not getting the pay which appertained to the same rank and position in the old country; in other words, they were losing money by coming to Canada; and there is an increase of $390 each to ten of these men, to make the pay the same as that of the corresponding rank in the old country. Otherwise we could not expect them to remain.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I must tell my hon. friend that that information is not satisfactory to me and it will not be satisfactory to the country. The sooner we admit that this general staff has reached unreasonable proportions, the better it will be for all concerned. No man need tell me that it it necessary to have 61 permanent officers, at an average of $3,318 each, to look after merely the routine affairs of the militia in Canada, and that does not include the $21,600 authorized by statute for the military members of the Militia Council. There is something wrong in the general principle. A general staff as proposed by General French may be all right in England, where they keep an army to fight; but we keep one merely for the purpose of assisting the civil authorities to maintain order in case of necessity, and Co provide a nucleus that may be necessary in times of trouble. Look at the utter ridiculousness of the whole proposition. Here are officials, who are paid fabulous salaries for the amount of work they are doing, receiving this year an increase amounting to more than one-third of the increase to the 60,000 citizen soldiers of Canada. There is no use of my hon. friend telling me that this is a complicated question. This is not common sense, and I hope my hon. friend will be able to give a better reason next year.


Mr. TOBIN.: I am somewhat surprised to see these increases in the expenditures of the Militia Department over what they were last year without hearing from our good friends on the other side, especially from the province of Quebec. During the election in Drummond and Arthabaska, I was in that part of the province, and there the Minister of Public Works, with tears in his eyes, told the farmers what a bad government we had in Ottawa, especially since Sir Wilfrid Laurier went into power in 1896, because he had doubled and trebled the expenditure in the Militia Department. He said the Minister of Agriculture was spending only about 15 -cents per head in the interests of the farmers, while the Laurier government was spending on the militia $1.50 a head, and still they were going to build a navy which would cost this country fifty or sixty million dollars. I do not see the Minister of Public Works in his seat to-night; nor do I see my intelligent young friend, the member for Nicolet (Mr. La-marche). He was one of the men I happened to meet on the public platform in Drummond and Arthabaska. I have a great deal of respect for my hon. friend the Minister of Militia, because I think he is honest and takes a great interest in the militia of this country. But during the last election what did these hon. gentlemen say in the province of Quebec? They said: They were not going to have Sam Hughes and Dr. Sproule. Is Mr.Borden going to surround himself with these Orangemen who appeal to race and Teligion in the province of Ontario? We would never belong to such a party, a party that voted for the Autonomy Bills which took separate schools from the French minority in the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. That is^ the language we heard. I am sorry the Minister of Public Works is not in his seat tonight, because no man in this Dominion has made more appeals to Tace and religion or has created such feeling among our young French-Canadians, among our young French priests, that they feel that the English-speaking Protestants of Ontario want to do away with our religion. That is the way they talk to the young men in the district of Quebec; I did not know what work the Postmaster General did in the province of Quebec; I did not meet him on the public platform; but I have read his paper, ' L'Evenement.' Hon. gentlemen have read that paper and they know what appeals our opponents have been making in the province of Quebec. Now these hon. gentlemen come here and tell us that we must forget everything, and that we must not speak about race or religion. But, Mr. Chairman, the Liberal members from Quebec never appealed to race or religion.


Some hon. MEMBERS: Oh, oh.


Edmund William Tobin: Hon. gentlemen on the other side may laugh, but I represent a county, the population of which to the extent of 75 or 80 per cent are French speaking people. Five per cent of the balance are probably English-speaking Catholics, and1 the remainder are English-speaking Protestants. Well the votes of 75 per cent of the English-speaking Protestants go tc the present member for Richmond and Wolfe because he does not make racial or religious appeals.


Mr. BENNETT (Simcoe).: Oh, oh.


Edmund William Tobin: The hon. member may laugh, but we know him of old. I will say, as my leader always says to that hon. gentleman, that w-e do not pay any attention to him. We have got to that stage with the hon. gentleman, and I am sure I shall not pay any attention to him to-night.


Mr. BRADBURY.: We have had enough of this kind of stuff in the House, and 1 appeal to the Chairman for his ruling.


Mr. DEPUTY SPEAKER.: I think the hon member for Richmond and W-oife is wandering a little from the item under discussion. and I take the liberty of drawing his attention to the fact.


Edmund William Tobin: I bow to your ruling, Mr. Chairman, and will confine myself to the subject under discussion.


Richard Bedford Bennett: I made your leader sit up last night did I not?


Edmund William Tobin: Let me tell the hon, gentleman that the right hon. leauer of the opposition is known too well throughout this country for the people to pay any heed to anything the hon. member foT East Simcoe may say concerning him. As far as the province of Quebec is concerned, the leader of the opposition stands with the people today as he has never stood before. Now let me tell the Minister of Militia that the farmers of this country will ask how it is the Militia Department can buy automobiles. It is really too bad for us to have got to that stage in 'this country, when the public moneys could be expended to far better advantage. I would like to see the minister cut the item for automobiles out. I do not blame him for paying 20 per cent or probably $3,000 more than he should have paid. I know him too well to think that he would desire t-o make 'a dollar out of any transaction, but let me tell him that the farmers of Canada object to paying for -such expenditures as this. Why does not the hon. member for L'lslet (Mr. Paquet), who has been denouncing the militia in the province of Quebec, get up in this House and oppose these items?


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: Why did you not offer any opposition to them before?


Edmund William Tobin: This is the first time, as far as I know, that the Militia Department has proposed any expenditures for automobiles.


Samuel Simpson Sharpe: Is the automobile item the only one you object to?


Edmund William Tobin: I object to this one and to other items also. You know, Mr. Chairman, what denunciations of militia expenditures were made by hon. gentlemen opposite who came from the province of Quebec, when they sat to the Speaker's left. I am sure also that you, Mr. Chair man, if you were not in the Chair to-night, would be asking the present Minister of Militia not to increase that expenditure.


Samuel Hughes: I want to thank the hon. gentleman for giving me the explanation of why I am so very popular in the province of Quebec. As long as my opponents roundly condemn me 1 am happy, and from what the hon. member says I have been denounced from one end of the province of Quebec to the other.


Edmund William Tobin: Yes, by your own friends.


Samuel Hughes: When my Liberal friends or my Tory friends meet me I am happy to receive them with open arms. I am satisfied that the attempts to arouse prejudice in the province of Quebec against ministers from the province of Ontario are simply taken by the people of that province, no matter how enthusiastically and earnestly those attempts are urged from the platform, with a grain of salt, and very little attention is paid to them.


Edmund William Tobin: I would like the present Minister of Militia, when he said he did not blame the Nationalist ministers on account of making appeals to race and religion in the county of Drummond and Ar-thabaska, to have been present at one of those meetings and heard the language used regarding himself, as well as regarding the Liberal party. I can assure him that had he been there he would not have felt very well satisfied.
Maintenance of military properties, $89,000.
_ 'Mr. H. ROULAY (Rimouski) (Translation) : Mr. Chairman, the hon. member for Richmond and Wolfe is not entirely in accord with the facts when he states that we raised the race and creed cry during the election in Drummond and Arthabasba. I say that, on the contrary, that policy was followed by himself and his friends. From 1896 to 1911, they constantly appealed to sectional and racial prejudices. We had to fight them for fifteen years on that ground.


Edmund William Tobin: 


Edmund William Tobin: Mr. Chairman, I think that the hon. gentleman is out of order; he is quite astray from the item under discussion.


Pierre Édouard Blondin: I must say that the hon. gentleman is answering the remarks made by the previous speaker. Once the door is open it is pretty hard for me to close it. I hope that every member will keep to the itenr under discussion.


Mr. BOULAY (Translation):: I regret
that the hon. member for Richmond should have taken such a stand. He stated, among other things, 'that we had vowed that never Messrs. Hughes iand Sproule would be members of the government. I never said anything 'to 'that effect in my constituency. I >deny outright having ever said anything of the kind. I had no business to say so, for this very good reason that I knew I would not be called upon to lead the government of the country.
These gentlemen have their opinion as I have mine, and these opinions are entitled to respect. As far as the militia expenses are concerned, I agree with the objections raised against those expenses. The policy upon which we have made the last election in 1911 was partly on the reduction of the expenses for the militia. We specially objected to the establishment of the naval service, and we said also that the expenses for the militia were too high. We said that in 18% the 'Liberal-Conservative party was expending only $1,500,000 for the .militia, whereas in 1911, under .a Liberal government, those expenses were of $7,000,000. As far as I am concerned, I am quite willing to take the responsibility of my preelection statement and to renew them before the House. Those expenses are too high and, were the hon. Minister of Militia ready to reduce them, I would surely give him my hearty support.
I say as I already said in my county, that the militia appropriations are too high as compared with what 'we give to the agriculture. Neither can I approve the item for automobiles. I fail to see their usefulness in the military service. I am quite willing to condemn now such a policy, the same as I did during the last elections, according to our programme. I do not deny what I said then, and I say that the hon. minister should reduce this expense.
iMr. TOBIN. Will the hon. minister allow me to put a question?
If I understood him right, he thinks that the expenses for the militia are too high.


Herménégilde Boulay: Yes, they are too high; and they were thus been increased under the Liberal government. I am ready to condemn such an expense, even when it is made by the present government.


Edmund William Tobin: The hon. member for Kiinouski (Mr. Boulay), has admitted that he was against the increase of the expenditure for militia. He also admits that during the last election in Rimouski he used that against the government. And my hon. friend has only to go back to ' Hansard/ to his speech of last Tuesday night, and that will bear out what I said as .to the language he used about the Speaker of this House:
Ordinance, Arms, Lands and Equipment, $1,300,000.


Mr. EMMERSON.: 1 desire information with regard to the proposed armoury for (Moncton. A year or so ago an officer of the Department of Public Works and an officer of the Militia Department from Halifax were sent to select a site, which was afterwards expropriated for the purpose of an armoury. I do not know in what position the matter is now. I hope progress is being made, and that the construction of the *armoury will be expedited.


Samuel Hughes: I do not know . the details of this case, but there have been ia number of cases in Which armouries were erected that were found not to be satisfactory. It might be they had no place for the officers to meet, or perhaps no place for the cadet corps or the boy scouts; no .place to hold a fat-stock ^ show or an automobile show or other public exhibition for which such buildings may be properly nsed.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Surely, the hon. gentleman is not going to allow fat-stock shows in the armouries?


Samuel Hughes: They did before my time, and I hope they will again.
iMt. GARVELL. I succeeded in having a fat-stock show in the armoury in my town and I was nearly excommunicated from the military church on account of it. I thought it was a very proper proceeding.


Samuel Hughes: I think so too.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I said: before you drive your stock there, put sawdust on the floor.


Samuel Hughes: That is Tight,
IMt. GARVELL. There was a lot of talk about it. They wanted to insure the place for i$50,000 or $60,000 for the week of the show. But that was not dome. It seems to me that as these armouries are built with public money they should he used for *every thing that will not interfere with the use for which they were first intended.


Samuel Hughes: Hear, hear.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: That is one point on which the minister and I agree. Another 175a	REVISED
point is .the Ross rifle. When this vote is expended how many rifles will there be belonging to the militia of Canada, supposed to he in good condition and brought up to date?


Samuel Hughes: I am informed that there will be about 95,000, hut I have not the exact figures here.
iMr. EMMERSON. I may say to the minister that the official who came from Halifax, took into consideration the question of sufficient room, and in selecting the site he had all these matters in view.
I think the minister will find there is ample room, that the site is one that will do the department great credit. I bring that matter up to remind the minister of the conditions that prevail and ask him to have inquiry made and to see that action is taken to utilize the site.


Samuel Hughes: I desire to have this question of the use of drill halls understood. I am not a crank on this *subject, and I do not want to waste a *dollar of public money. I am sincere and enthusiastic in looking upon the training of the militia and of the cadets as one of the best things for the country, and I know that the heart of the country is with me in that. These drill halls are going to cost money. But 1 have been experimenting with all sorts of plans and discussing the matter with architects and others, and I am satisfied that we are now in the position-it was due to the action of my hon. friend from North Sim-coe (Mr. Currie), who drew my attention to a building in his town that iwas being used for an armoury

to provide these buildings much more cheaply than formerly. These are not extravagant buildings. For a country village with one company, room would he provided; where there are two companies the building will be suitable. When it comes to a city the size of -Moncton, I believe that the place should have a suitable armoury. It is due -to isueh a city from the government of this country, and the armoury should be a place that could he used by the scouts, the cadets, and the militia. Also philanthropic organizations and others *Should be allowed to use .it-anything for the development of the people so long as it does not rival other buildings. That *is the Tule we have established. The public own these buildings, and the public should have 'an opportunity to use them.


Francis Ramsey Lalor: What 'are we to understand	the minister to mean when
he says that the public should have the use of these buildings? It seemed to be the policy of the late government, so far as my county was concerned, to allow the use of the drill halls 1 for skating rinks. And if the drill hall

[Stage Direction]
was not properly located for a skating rink, it was up to the hotel man ot anybody _ else who happened to require the building for a skating rink, to have it moved so that it would be well located for that business. I visited a pretty goodsized town in my county a few years ago just before the militia was called out to camp. The captain of the local company took me around to the drill hall, owned, as the Minister of Militia says, by the people of Canada, and showed me this drill hall which had heen used as a skating rink all winter and which had two feet of slush in it so that the militia could not use it for a drill at all. To say that the public should have the use of these buildings is all right so far as agriculture and other purposes are concerned. But I think it a mistake that the drill halls of the country .should be used .as the late government allowed them to be used^and I speak by the book-allowing them to be turned into skating rink®.
Samuel Hughes: That is not a public use.


William Pugsley: Could not the hon. gentleman utilize a portion of this vote for the .purpose of taking caTe of some of the old forts in different parts of the country? I have in mind more especially Fort Howe, in the city of St. John, which is now completely neglected. The attention of my hon. friend {(Mr. Hughes, Victoria) has been called to it. The former Minister of Militia had an examination and survey made of the grounds with a view to making some improvements. The cost of making improvements would be trifling, .but they would be of great advantage to the city. Had the former Minister of Militia remained in office, I think he would have carried out these improvements. If the amount cannot .be taken from this appropriation, perhaps the minister would think of providing for it in the supplementaries.


Samuel Hughes: In conformity with the hon. gentleman's request, I took the matter up with the Council. There is no secret about it. There was a most hearty response from every member in the_ Cabinet. Whether there will be an item in the supplementary estimates, I am not in a position to say, as the hon. gentleman knows. But I can assure him that his suggestions were most favourably received. Not only St. John, but every other place in the country will he brought to notice. A lot of things have been saddled upon the Minister of Militia that do not properly belong to him. I think that item would more properly come under the Battlefields Commission, and if the matter can be so arranged, they should assume the responsibility of carrying it out.


Francis Ramsey Lalor: 


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I wish to call the attention of the minister to the armoury in the town of Baddeck, in the county of Victoria, the headquarters of the 94th regiment of Highlanders. The armoury is a small one, and -I have been trying for years to get it enlarged, and also to get a drill shed built, in connection with it. Last year I succeeded in getting the Minister of Militia to send an officer from Halifax down there to make !a report upon the condition of the armoury, and what could be done with a view of enlarging it with the addition of a drill hall. I also asked him to make a report upon obtaining a rifle range at that point for the 94th. I wrote to the present .minister in the early part of this session inquiring for the report of that officer, but I have not yet received a reply. I want to point out to the minister that the town of Baddeck is rather a fashionable place of resort for Americans in the summer time, it is a beautiful spot on the Bras d'Or lakes, and we would like our military buildings to look up to date. The building at Baddeck is a low set one thrown into a field, with nothing around it to suggest that it is a military building. I hope the officer has made a favourable report in regard to the rifle range, and that the minister will proceed to act upon it.


Samuel Hughes: I have no recollection of the details of the case. I remember my hon. friend asking me for a report on the matter, and I sent to Halifax for it, but it has not yet come to hand. However, I will make inquiries and find out. Nothing is too good for the old 94th.
Mt. 'CARROLL. I would like to bring to the attention of the minister the condition of the armoury in the city of Sydney. There is a military property there now, I do not know whether it is at the -present time the property of the Dominion government, ox of the Imperial government. We have a regiment at Sydney, which is a thriving town of over 20,000 inhabitants. There are many young men who are much interested in military affairs, both cavalry and infantry, and they wanted me to -bring to the attention of the minister, the fact that an armoury and drill shed are required in Sydney. There are some buildings to which the military people of Sydney have access, but they are on ground which a few years ago, belonged to the Imperial government. I would like the minister to investigate this matter. I would *also ask him to tell me if there has 'been an application from Sydney for a rifle range, and what success the application has met with.


Samuel Hughes: Speaking from memory, there is some application about a Title range in Sydney. The rifle men of Sydney have provided a range of their own; I do not remember whether they want us to take that over or to 'buy a better range. I shall send down a man to report. I can assure my hon. friend that all applications of that sort have my hearty sympathy. I am prepared at any time to come down to the House and face all adverse criticisms for the erection of these drill halls all over the country. I believe they are very necessary in the interest of the country.
'Mr. CARROLL. There will be no adverse criticism of the minister from the people of Sydney.
Mr. CHISHOiLM (Inverness). I would ask the minister if anything has 'been done wih regard to erecting an armoury in the town of Inverness? Last year I made an application to the late minister, and he sent an engineer down to report. I have seen the report. It appears that a certain site was recommended by this engineer, but I have received no further information. I would ask the minister if it is his intention to erect this armoury in the town of Inverness. It is as necessary there as in any other part of the country. He will find as good militia material in the county of Inverness as he can find in any other place in Canada.


Samuel Hughes: Judging by the appearance of the hon. gentleman and his friends from that part of the country, it seems to be inhabited by a splendid race. I do not know the details about Inverness. I think an application has been made for an armoury. It would not take over $15,000 for a company armoury, and it would come out of this vote.


Mr. CHISHOLM (Inverness).: I wish to emphasize the fact that an application has been made. The town of Inverness is a growing mining, town, with a population of about 4,000.


Samuel Hughes: There are a great many hon. gentlemen who are anxious to get these drill halls and armouries and to get the militia force in proper shape. There are, however, hon. gentlemen who feel called upon to oppose the militia expenditure, but let me call attention to the fact that if we look over the items we could cut down by millions expenditures which are not anything like as essential as the expenditures for drill balls and for the upkeep of the militia. I will ask these hon. gentlemen to look with a pleasant eye upon these expenditures and I am satisfied that
they will see their way clear to give their assistance to the legitimate desire for the erection of drill halls all over the country. It may he said that there is an adverse public opinion in the country, but I would say that that so-called adverse public opinion is' something which is not real. I [DOT]am satisfied that so 'long as the public are assured that these expenditures are being legitimately carried out they will approve of this determination to have drill halls erected in every part of the country.
Mr. iLALOR. I sincerely hope that the Minister of Militia will be sympathetic with the hon. gentlemen on the other side of the House who are now pleading for drill halls and armouries. We have had some little experience in connection with that. I remember that, when I sat on the other side of the House, I pleaded session after session for a public building in my own town and I never got the sympathetic ear of a minister sitting upon 'this side to any demands that I might make in that respect. I hope that the Minister of Militia and the 'Minister of Public Works, who now are sitting upon this side of the House, will have more sympathy with those gentlemen who are now sitting on the other side of the House than they have had with us when they were sitting on this side of the House and that the Minister of Militia and other ministers will use their judgment in putting up buildings, not in little places of 800 or 900 inhabitants, as those hon. gentlemen did but will look to those places which have been suffering for a great many years and have been penalized because they sent a 'Conservative to parliament.
Salaries and wages, $168,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: I notice here that, for the rank and file of caretakers, $1.50 a day is allowed, and that the chief caretakers of the large armouries receive as high as $3 per day. Would the minister tell me how lie distinguishes between the ordinary armouries and the larger ones?


Samuel Hughes: I am informed that the chief caretakers are 'employed in large places where there are two or three different regiments or batteries, and that is where the extra charges come in.
Schools of instruction, $100,000.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: Even at this late hour I think the minister will pardon me if I make one or two brief Temarks in connection with these schools of instruction. I am pleased to see that he is increasing this amount and I hope he will, if necessary, increase it to a much greater extent than be is doing at the present time.


Samuel Hughes: I am bringing these schools to the doors of the people in place of requiring the people to go to them.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: That is what I am corning at. You never can get the average *militia officer to go to the central school at Kingston or >any other (place. We have been trying that ever since the inauguration of this system of training. Once in a while there is a man who is an enthusiast and has plenty of money who will go, but I am safe in saying that perhaps 'the greatest detriment to the militia is the rich man's soin. The man who is able to get a commission because he has some money or because he is rich is the most useless piece of furniture that you can have in a regiment.
iMr. GRAHAM. That is not personal to any of us. You cannot offend any of us in that way.


Frank Broadstreet Carvell: 
Samuel Hughes: I agree with my hon. friend (Mt. CaTvell) on the question of the schools, and the first act I did after (becoming (Minister of Militia was to try to carry out his idea. We have seventy of the best non-commissioned officers on the force going all over the country this winter. The technical education relates to engineers and to artillery, and is the kind of 'education the staff officers of the old country are giving to our officers and non-commissioned officers throughout Canada. In Quebec there is MajoT Robert-
5548a

5548b
son who cannot foe surpassed in the whole world for the value of the higher class technical education he imparts. Those gentlemen are ready to go into country places and wherever they can get a couple of officers together give them instruction.


William Frederic Kay: Where is the Webb infantry equipment made, and who is converting the back-sights on the ten thousand Ross rifles?


Samuel Hughes: The contract for the latter was given last year, I think, to the Sutherland Rifle-Sight Company in 'New Glasgow. The Webb equipment is bought in England through the war office, at war office prices.
