On the Orders of the Day being called:
Sir WILFRID LAURIER:: I have a telegram this morning from Vancouver to this effect:
Fifty coal miners from county Durham, England, stranded here owing to being induced to come here to work in Canadian collieries at Cumberland, Vancouver Island. Please bring matter up in House of Commons, and ask for information by Minister of Labour. Situation of men is serious, having given up homes and left wives and families there.
Has the hon. Minister of Labour received any information in regard to this?


Mr. CROTHERS:: My attention has not been directed to the matter. Of course, I understand that a strike has been going on in the island of Vancouver for some time. If the right hon. gentleman will send me a copy of the telegram, I shall be glad to look into the matter immediately.



THE GOVERNMENT ICE SUPPLY.

['I realize that the observations of the hon. gentleman relate to a matter of considerable importance. Had he given me notice that he intended to ask the question, I should have been better prepared to answer. This matter has engaged the attention of the Government during the past three or four weeks, and communications have been held with the British Embassy at Washington with regard to it. It is not by any means clear that the interpretation which the hon. gentleman places upon the proposed enactment of the United States would be carried out; the contrary would be the case if the language is interpreted by the Treasury Board of the United States in the way in which precisely similar language has been interpreted in the past. In making that statement I speak from recollection and without the papers before me, but I feel sure I am right. We await advice as to what the probable outcome will be, either in respect of the enactment of the measure to which the hon. member alluded or as to its interpretation, if it should be enacted. Of course the larger question of the adoption of some measure by this Parliament which might tend to equalize matters in case there\nshould prove to be descrimination against Canada, is a subject that I would not care to give an opinion upon. The hon. gentleman will realize, of course, that any proceedings by way of compensating legislation, such as he suggests, would have to be very carefully considered. And, further than that, the tariff of the United States, like the tariff of Canada, is a matter in the first place, of purely domestic consideration, and One upon which we will not presume to offer any suggestion or to make any representations unless there should be a distinct descrimination against this country without attendant circumstances which might seem to justify it. So, until we are absolutely sure that the suggested descrimination will ensue, it would be unwise to make any pronouncement on the subject in one direction op the other.']
Mr. TURGEON:: Can the hon. Minister of Public Works (Mr. Rogers) give me some information as to the supply of ice for the House of Commons and the departments? Does he get the ice under contract, and where does it come from? We have heard a good deal lately about polluted water, and we would 'be just as much in danger by using ice made from polluted water as by using polluted water itself. Does the hon. minister intend to ask for tenders for the supply of ice for next session, and will he designate the localities from which the ice is to come?


Mr. ROGERS:: I understand there is a contract for ice, but the ice that is being used by members is not put into the water at all. It is put into a tank surrounding the water, so that- there is no danger so far as using the water about the buildings is concerned.	.


Onésiphore Turgeon: Is the contract for an extended time?
1213j


Robert Rogers: I have no knowledge at the moment of what the contract is.



Mr. PROULX:: As the time has passed for putting questions on the Order Paper, I would like to ask my right hon. friend the Prime Minister a question which interests many of his supporters in the province of Quebec. As we may have an election before another session, it is very important to have an answer. Will he be good enough to tell the House whether the Naval Act of 1910 will be repealed, and, if so, when ?


Mr. BORDEN:: I may say, in answer to the very proper inquiry of my hon. friend, that we will give him information with regard to that well in advance of any election.


UNITED STATES TARIFF ON PULP.
Hon. WILLIAM PUGSLEY:: I would like to invite the attention of my hon. friend the acting Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. Perley) to a matter which is of great importance to the people of Canada, certainly to those engaged in the manufacture of pulp and paper in this country. I understand that in the tariff legislation now pending before Congress of the United States, it is proposed to insert a clause which will penalize the pulp manufacturers in most of the provinces of Canada to the extent of two dollars per ton, as against pulp manufacturers in any other country. The clause provides that, in the case of pulp manufactured in any province, in which there is any increased license fee or any restriction against export of either pulp, pulp wood or pulp paper, chemical pulp coming from such province shall be subject to a duty of two dollars a ton; whereas chemical pulp, which comes from other countries, and which enters so largely into competition with Canadian pulp, is allowed to come into the United States free of duty.


Mr. SPEAKER:: The hon. member is taking a rather unfortunate time to bring up this subject, because there is nothing before the House. It could properly be brought up on the Supply Bill. I thought the hon. member was asking a question.


William Pugsley: I thought the Orders of the Day were called. It was before proceeding to the Orders of the Day. This is a matter of public urgency, because, unless this Government takes some public action in a short time, it may be too late for effective action. Do not you think Mr. Speaker, that, as a matter of public urgency and with the consent of the House, I might bring it up at present?
Mr. TITRGEON.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I thought the hon.
member was merely proposing to ask a question. It would be out of order to bring the matter up at this stage. It might be brought up as a matter of urgency at the proper time provided under the rules, or it would be in order to discuss the subject if necessary when the Supply Bill is before the House.


William Pugsley: I might put it in the form of a question. I desire to ask the Prime Minister if he is aware that legislation is in progress at Washington-


Robert Laird Borden: On an important matter,
I have no objection, and I think the House will have none, to the hon. member making any statement he desires.


William Pugsley: I am much obliged to my right hon. friend. As I understand the ground upon which Congress is asked to act in the imposition of this duty, which is especially directed against Canadian pulp, as that certain provinces of Canada place restrictions upon the export of pulpwood. It seems to me that the matter is of such importance that the Government, if its attention were called to the matter, might feel it to be in the public interest to make representations at Washington which might lead to the abandonment of the proposed legislation. I think it might well be represented to the authorities at Washington that the export of pulpwood from private lands in Canada amount to at least 1,000,000 cords a year; and it seems to me it might fairly be urged that the mere fact that some of the provincial governments impose restrictions upon the export of pulpwood ought not to outweigh the advantage which the American pulp and paper manufacturers derive from, obtaining this most important supply of raw material.


Robert Laird Borden: Is the hon. gentleman speaking of the total export or merely of the export from private lands?


William Pugsley: The export from private lands.


Robert Laird Borden: How much is exported from public lands? '


William Pugsley: I do not know. But 1 think it might be fairly represented that, in view of the United States manufacturers getting from Canada such a large supply of raw material cut from private, lands, in regard to which there is no prohibition of export, the Congress of the United States might very well abandon the idea of imposing what cannot be regarded as otherwise than a penalty against the pulp manufacturers of Canada. I bring the matter to the attention of the Government in the hope that, by reason of the importance of the subject, they might think it worth

while to bring the matter in some way to the attention of the United States authorities. Of course there are several methods open to Canada. One would be to induce the different provincial governments to abandon the restriction which they place upon the exportation of pulpwood from Crown lands; another-and this would strike a vital blow at the pulp and paper manufacturers in the United States who get their supply from private lands in Canada -would be to impose an export duty on such material.


Mr. BRODER:: Is the hon. gentleman
aware of the attitude of the United States Government toward the product of pulp mills as contrasted with their treatment of other countries in this respect.


William Pugsley: Pulpwood from Sweden is the great competitor of Canada in the United States, and it will enter that country free of duty whereas pulp from Canada-


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I think the House ought to remember that there is a proper time and way to bring this matter forward. If permission is given to one hon. member to discuss this matter, there is no reason why similar permission should not be given to others, and so we should have a debate without anything before the Chair.


Robert Laird Borden: Has the hon. gentleman finished his statement?


William Pugsley: Yes.


Robert Laird Borden: I realize that the observations of the hon. gentleman relate to a matter of considerable importance. Had he given me notice that he intended to ask the question, I should have been better prepared to answer. This matter has engaged the attention of the Government during the past three or four weeks, and communications have been held with the British Embassy at Washington with regard to it. It is not by any means clear that the interpretation which the hon. gentleman places upon the proposed enactment of the United States would be carried out; the contrary would be the case if the language is interpreted by the Treasury Board of the United States in the way in which precisely similar language has been interpreted in the past. In making that statement I speak from recollection and without the papers before me, but I feel sure I am right. We await advice as to what the probable outcome will be, either in respect of the enactment of the measure to which the hon. member alluded or as to its interpretation, if it should be enacted. Of course the larger question of the adoption of some measure by this Parliament which might tend to equalize matters in case there
should prove to be descrimination against Canada, is a subject that I would not care to give an opinion upon. The hon. gentleman will realize, of course, that any proceedings by way of compensating legislation, such as he suggests, would have to be very carefully considered. And, further than that, the tariff of the United States, like the tariff of Canada, is a matter in the first place, of purely domestic consideration, and One upon which we will not presume to offer any suggestion or to make any representations unless there should be a distinct descrimination against this country without attendant circumstances which might seem to justify it. So, until we are absolutely sure that the suggested descrimination will ensue, it would be unwise to make any pronouncement on the subject in one direction op the other.


CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT.
[Stage Direction]
Hon. J. D. HAZEN (Minister of Marine and Fisheries) moved that the amendments made by the Senate to Bill No. 211-Mr. Doherty-an Act to amend the Criminal Code, be read the second time and concurred in. He said: One rather important amendment was made to this Bill by the Senate. Hon. gentlemen will remember that in the Bill as it left the House there was a section with regard to seduction, and that clause 213 of the original Act was amended by providing that seduction by an employer of his female employees under twenty-one years of age and of a previously chaste character, was an offence, no matter what the employment was. That section was struck out by the Senate, and the present provision of the code that punishment for seduction shall be confined to employers in factories, mills, workshops, shops and stores, is allowed to stand. The proposed amendment to the Act as passed by this House extended the application of this provision of the code to all female employees, no matter in what class of employment they might be, thus making it applicable to domestic service. This amendment has been struck out by the Senate. Their Honours have also added a clause making it an offence for any person falsely to pretend to be a police constable. There was a minor amendment to sub-section 5 of section 4, and the word ' commissioner ' was struck out of line 23 of section 22, this word having been left in the Bill through a clerical error. With regard to the person from whom a certificate may be obtained for the purchase of revolvers, firearms and other weapons, the Senate have added police magistrates to the officials named in the Bill as it stands in this House. These are practically the only amendments made by the Senate to this Bill, of which the first named is the most important.
[Stage Direction]


Motion agreed to, and amendments read the second time and concurred in.


[Stage Direction]
Hon. W. T. WHITE (Minister of Finance) moved the third reading of Bill No. 249, to grant to His Majesty certain sums of money for the public service of the financial year ending the 31st of March, 1914.
Wilfrid Laurier: On the first
day of this session the Government placed in the mouth of His Royal Highness the Governor General a statement to the effect that an emergency which existed which made it imperative that the naval forces of the Empire should be strengthened, and a measure was promised and accordingly introduced, with the stated purpose of strengthening the naval forces of the Empire. The Government did not succeed in convincing Parliament that there was such an emergency and as had been mentioned in the Speech from the Throne, nor did they convince the other branch of the legislature, where that measure did not pass. I think we are entitled to know what action the Government proposes to take as a consequence of the action of the Senate in this regard.


Rt.   H@: The question which the right hon.
gentleman has asked is one that deserves serious consideration and a plain answer. He declares that we have failed to obtain the consent of Parliament to the measure which was proposed by the Government and announced in the Speech from the Throne. We obtained the assent of this House of Commons, which represents the people; we did not obtain the assent of certain gentlemen in another Chamber who were merely an echo of the expressed intention of the right hon. leader of the Opposition. This was plainly demonstrated by the fact that hon. gentlemen on the other side, before the Bill left this House, asserted with emphasis, that it would be defeated in the Senate. Notwithstanding the protests of the right hon. gentleman, everyone knows, .and his own followers in the Senate have frankly stated, that but foT him that Bill would have been passed in the Senate. He has referred to the Senate as the upholder of democratic institutions and of the liberties of the people. I desire to say to him that according to his own express interpretation of the British North America Act he for years deliberately violated the constitution of this country] That is a strong statement to make, but I challenge the right hon. gentleman to deny it, and I will prove it out of his own mouth. Here is his language in 1896:
I charge, here against him and against
his party-	.
M. HAZEN.	.
Speaking of Sir Charles Tupper:
-that, in So fair as the Senate of Canada is concerned, they have all along for the last eighteen years disregarded the constitution of Canada in the nature of the appointments which they made to that branch of the legislature.
It was one of the well understood princi-pies at Confederation-and the hon. gentleman referred a moment ago to the debates of the Quebec convention-it was one of the well understood principles then, that if the Senate was not elective, and if it was to be appointed] by the Crown, then both political parties should be equally represented on the floor of] the Senate. The hon. gentleman has forgotten that rule in practice although it cannot have escaped his memory.
That was the right hon. gentleman's own interpretation of the constitution, that was bis conception of his duty, and I ask him to point to me one single instance from the day on which he came into power in 1896 until he left office in October, 1911, where he fulfilled his duty to the constitution as interpreted by him in the words I have just quoted. He cannot name one single instance. He charged Sir Charles Tupper with having violated the constitution. The right hon. gentleman's own words which I have quoted convict him with having himself violated the constitution and he cannot deny it. And then, having filled the Senate with members of his own party, he adopts a somewhat complacent and exultant tone now that he is able to dictate to this House through those gentlemen in such wise that he is enabled to defeat the desire and intention of the people of Canada as expressed through their representatives in Parliament, elected less than two years ago. So much for that part of the case.
The announcement by the Government of the United Kingdom that the taxpayers of the British Islands are to be called upon to pay for three dreadnoughts which - are to be laid down in the place of those that should have been furnished by Canada under the provisions of the Naval Aid Bill, is a matter for earnest and grave consideration. In the first place, that action of the British Government, according to my conception, shatters every argument and contention on the part of those who reiterated over and over again to this House that there was no condition of urgency. My right hon. friend was willing to give a guarantee of the peace of the world, he was willing to answer for it. The.re was no need of any further provision for the naval defence of the Empire; he was in the secrets of all the chancellories of the world, he was thoroughly aware of their beneficent intentions and he could answer to Canada and to the Empire that we might disarm, that no further preparation was necessary. This was mere irresponsible vapouring, as the right hon. gentleman must have known

himself. The answer to-day, a most convincing answer, is the action which the British Government have found it necessary to take by reason of the defeat of that Bill m the Senate at his dictation. The position in which the matter has been left by the unfortunate and ill-advised action of the Senate, following his advice, is intensely humiliating to the people of this Dominion.


Wilfrid Laurier: Hear, hear.


Robert Laird Borden: It prevents Canada, at
the present time, from undertaking a duty which the vast majority of the people of this country are not only willing but eager to undertake in vindication of their sell-respect. The right hon. 'gentleman's unworthy and unpatriotic action prevents the people of Canada, for the time being, from undertaking that duty. However, it appears from the press despatch-I have no official communication on the subject-that the British Government have undertaken the duty which I think ought to have been discharged by Canada at this juncture, under the provisions of the Naval Aid Act.


William Pugsley: It is a telegram from
' Windermere.'


Robert Laird Borden: I do not know who the press corespondent is, and I am not answering for the accuracy of the despatch. It seems to have been accepted by the hon. gentleman's leader. For the time being, I am assuming that the terms of the despatch express with accuracy the announcement which has been made in the British House of Commons. The defeat of this measure by the Liberal majority in the Senate at the dictation of the right hon. gentleman who leads the Opposition, prevents us at present from arranging that the British Government shall proceed with the construction of these ships on behalf of Canada. Technically, the Parliament of Canada has refused this aid. In reality, this aid has been refused by a partisan majority in the Senate, at the dictation of the right hon. gentleman, a majority having no responsibility whatever to the people of Canada. But, in view of the fact that these pronosals were made by the Government of Canada upon information which they had received from the British Government through the Admiralty, which they regarded as disclosing' grave conditions, it may be possible in the future to make right that which has been made wrong at the present by the right hon. gentleman and his irresponsible friends in the other House. The construction of these ships is apparently to be proceeded with by the British Government. It is quite out of the question for us at the moment tonnake any advance or approach to the Imperial authorities under the condition which has been created by my right hon. friend because, technically, this measure has been rejected by the Parliament of Canada although, in reality, it has been defeated by- a few partisans in the Senate who do not represent in any -sense whatever the true desire and wish of the Canadian people. As the construction of these ships is to be proceeded with by the British Government, as they are apparently to be of the same character, the same strength and the same fighting value as those which we proposed, as they are to be employed for the same purpose, that of the common defence of this Empire, which we had in mind, it is the firm intention and determination of this Government, if it remains, -as undoubtedly it will remain in power, to bring down, at a later date, a proposal for the acquisition or construction of three battleships, as was proposed in the Naval Aid Bill of 1912. In that way, before the completion of these ships, we hope and expect to be in a position to say to the British Government: Canada is prepared to do now what the unworthy action of a partisan majority in the Senate prevented her from doing before; Canada will take over -and pay for and acquire these ships and will place them at the disposal of His Majesty the King for the common defence of the great Empire of which Canada forms a part.


Wilfrid Laurier: Mr. Speaker, I thought any right hon. friend certainly did his very best to be severe towards the Canadian Senate, he must be the first to admit that his efforts in that direction have fallen far short of the performances of the press which supports him. The language he has used does not compare at all with the language of the ministerial press. To read the ministerial press, one would suppose that the Senate had committed some great error, almost akin to a crime. Sir, the truth is that the Senate has done nothing but defend the rights of the Canadian people. If I may follow my right hon. friend's line of argument, I may say that the Senate has done nothing but defend the rights of the people against a servile majority in the House of Commons. What have the Senate done? Have they done violence either to the law or to the constitution? Have they infringed upon the rights of this House? Have they infringed upon the rights of the people? Have they in any way sacrificed the rights of the people? What have they done? They have not rejected the Bill, as they might have done; they have simply said that they did not feel called upon to give it their assent, until it had been submitted to the judgment of the country. Sir, this contribution which was proposed by my right hon.
I friend, under the pretence of an emergency

which never existed, to meet the immediate need of the Empire, the Senate would have been well justified in throwing aside; but they would not take that course.


Mr. LANCASTER:: How do you know?


Wilfrid Laurier: How do I
know? I know by the resolution placed upon the books. They did not say that they would not give their assent to this Bill. They simply said:
This House is not justified in giving its assent to this Bill until it is submitted to the judgment of the country.
This, Sir, is the resolution which my right hon. friend has the audacity to characterize as partisan. This is the resolution which my right hon. friend denounces to the Canadian people, when all it does is to say that the Canadian people shall pronounce upon the proposal of my right hon. friend.
My right hon. friend says that the Senate acted at my dictation. My right hon. friend mistakes my friends, and those whom I claim to be my followers in this Chamber or in the other Chamber. Canadian Liberals, whether they sit in the House of Commons or in the Senate, do not follow the dictation of anybody. I have seen in this House within the last three or four days instances of, after a caucus, hon. gentlemen supporting my right hon. friend being forced to give a vote that they did not want to give. Nothing of that kind has ever happened to any follower of mine.
My right Ron. friend says that the Senate should be reformed. It is up to him to reform it; he is in office now; he has power to do so. I have myself stated over and over again that the constitution of the Senate, nominative as it is, is not altogether satisfactory. The difficulty has always been to find a remedy. My right hon. friend will perhaps be as good as his word, the brave word he has given to-day, and let us have a Teform of the Senate. If he will, I shall be willing to give my assent. But, according to the views of my right hon. friend, the reform of the Senate is not to be based upon its constitution; it is to be according to the manner in which the members of the Senate exercise their power. If the Senators are good boys, if they consent to be simply recording machinery to register tlhe vote and the will of the majority on that side of the House, then their existence will be continued and maintained. They are a noble institution, if they do that; but if they have the audacity to have a will of their own, to exercise their judgment, and to exercise that judgment against the will of the majority of this House, down with them, and anathema on them. That is the basis upon which, apparently, the reform of the Senate is to Sir WILFRID LAURIER.
proceed. But let that pass; we shall come later on to that matter.
My right hon. friend has told us what will be his action: It is to be a repetition of the vote of the majority. My right hon. friend forgets that, according to all constitutional usage, the way to get out of a difficulty of this kind, when there is a divergence of opinion between one branch of the legislature and the other branch, is to appeal to the people. But my right hon. friend will not take that course. He says that he will repeat what he has done before: he will ask the House again to vote the $35,000,000 for the emergency. He may do that; I do not pretend to be a prophet; but I say to my right hon. friend that, according to all usages, he should do what the Senate invites him to do; appeal to the one body which is the master of us all, and the arbiters of our destining. He will not do so.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: They are not masters of the Senate, and the Senate know it.


Wilfrid Laurier: Not only according to constitutional usage, but according to his own words, this is what my right hon. friend was going to do. My right hon. friend has stated, not once, not twice, but a dozen times-in Montreal, in this House, and in Toronto-that if Parliament were against this policy, he would appeal from Parliament to the people. My right hon. friend will not, I am sure, deny that he has taken that position more than once. He will not deny that on the floor of this House, in Montreal, in Toronto, not three weeks ago, he stated that if Parliament were against him, did not approve of his policy, he would appeal to the people. But I understand that the new constitutional doctrine which is to prevail is this:	Parliament is no longer Parliament
as we have known it in former years; it is not composed of the House of Commons and the Senate; it is not composed of two branches of the legislature; Parliament is composed of the majority which sits in this House. Even we ourselves have only such power and such liberty as the majority is good enough to leave to us. That is Parliament according to the doctrine of my right hon. friend; but that is not the way I understand the constitution, nor is that the way in which the people understand the constitution. In confirmation of my view, I would quote what my right hon. friend said at Toronto. He spoke as follows:
In 1910 I moved in the House of Commons a resolution that Canada should place at the disposal of the Admiralty two battleships or armoured cruisers of the most powerful type. In November of the same year I declared that, if returned to power, we would seek directly from the British Government,

and especially from the Admiralty, definite information as to the needs of the Empire in naval defence and that, if satisfied of the need, we would appeal to Parliament, and if necessary to the people for immediate and effective aid. In the campaign of 1911, I made the same declaration in my opening speech in this province. No Government in Canada ever had a more specific and direct mandate for any purpose than that of the present Administration to perform this manifest duty.
This is the statement upon which my right hon. friend bases his case to-day. He says that he had a mandate from the electors in the election of 1911. This statement of my right hon. friend was made in the presence of the fact that he had by his side the hon. Postmaster General (Mr. Pelletier), which fact is an absolute negation of the proposition. The Conservative party in the election of 1911 were a unit upon one question-the question of reciprocity. It was the same in one province as in another province; whether in the East or in the West, they were all united against reciprocity; but on the navy, to tell us that my right hon. friend had a mandate from the electors is to put a severe strain upon our credulity. It is true that my right hon. friend stated in the elections of 1911 on the question of the navy, that we owed a debt to Great Britain. He was not satisfied with the manner in which we had performed our duty to the Empire by placing the Naval Act upon the statute-book, but he wanted to do something in favour of Great Britain. There, by his side, sits his hon. friend the Postmaster General, and his hon. friend stated that we owed no debt whatever to Great Britain. The hon. gentleman has the audacity-


Mr. PELLETIER:: Never.


Wilfrid Laurier: Well, I will call upon my hon. friend to go and repeat in the county of Quebec that he never said that.


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: I never said that.


Wilfrid Laurier: But we have more: we know that when the hon. Postmaster General went to Quebec county for his re-election he stated that he had obtained from the Prime Minister a pledge that upon any naval expenditure he would have a plebiscite. Where is the plebiscite, and where is the mandate of the people for this expenditure of $35,000,000 ? While my right hon. friend, in the election of 1911, was preaching that we owed a debt to Great Britain, his supporters in Quebec -and I see one sitting behind him in this House-were paying for the circulation of Le Devoir, and the apostles of Nationalism were preaching every day that we owed absolutely nothing to Great Britain, and that they were against naval expenditure
in any kind of form. I see in icy presence a gentleman who paid for the circulation of Le Devoir, and who will r )t deny it,
I am sure.
But we have more than thal, We have the Conservative party and the Conservative leader in the province of Quebec not only circulating Le Devoir, which, if it was not treason, was perilously near treason, but we have also pledges from Conservative members to the effect that they would not consent to any naval expenditure whatever. Time brings its revenge. We know the methods-not all of the methods, but some of them-by which the Conservative victory of 1911 was achieved. We have the edifying spectacle of the same men, who in Ontario were preaching loyalty, paying out of their own funds for the circulation of an organ which was preaching something very nearly akin to disloyalty. We have the declaration of Mr. Bourassa that he was cheek by jowl with the Conservative leaders in Quebec who were arrayed against the Government of that day. The charge was made in the province of Ontario against the former Government that they were disloyal, while in the province of Quebec it was charged that they were too loyal because they wanted to spend money for the defence of Great Britain. Mr. Bourassa further says that he has the pledges of men in this House who were elected to support no navy whatever. He says amongst other things that he received a letter enclosing the following telegram:
Mattawa, September 8, 1911.
Chaa. McCrea, Sudbury,-I am certainly opposed to the reciprocity pact and t'he naval policy of the Government, and will support a request for repeal of naval policy and a referendum to the people, no matter who is Premier.
(Sgd.) Geo. Gordon.
Mr. Gordon was the gentleman who formerly represented the district of Nipis-sing in this House. There was another telegram to the following effect:
Chas. McCrea, Sudbury, Ont.-I am on-posed to the reciprocity pact. I am opposed to the naval policy of the Liberal Government. I will support a request for repeal of same and a referendum to the people on the naval question, no matter who is Premier.
(Sgd.) W. R. Smyth.
This telegram is signed by the name of a gentleman who occupies a seat in this House, and with whom I have always had the best of relations-the hon. member for East Algoma (Mr. Smyth). He has stated that he did not write that telegram, and, of course, I accept his word. It is up to my hon. friend to say whether it was signed by him or somebody else in his name. That is the condition with which we are now faced; and, to tell us under such circumstances that the Government

had a mandate from the electors, is an insult to the intelligence of the people of Canada.
My right hon. friend -went a little further at Toronto, taking occasion to add a word or two to what he had previously said; and this is significant in view of the statement he made to-day. He stated at Toronto that there was an emergency. An emergency! Does my right hon. friend pretend at this late date that there is an emergency F Will my right hon, friend tell this House that if there had been an emergency he would have been satisfied, and the Canadian people would have been satisfied, to send three empty ships to Great Britain ? If there had been an emergency, it would not have been three empty ships that would have been sent, but thousands of our young men would have risen to offer their services to Great Britain. If there had been an emergency, from the shop, the farm, the lumber camp, the mining pit, our young men would have come forward by the thousands asking to be sent forward to take their places in the firing line. My right hon. friend in Toronto the other day, accused me of being a separatist. Let me tell him that I know the people of this country as well as, and perhaps better than, he does. 'Whenever there is an emergency the people will rise, as they did in 1899, to offer not only ships and money, but the service of their bodies, and to put themselves in the front ranks in order to take their share in the fray. *
But there is no emergency whatever, and my right hon. friend has just given us the evidence that there is no emergency. He said, as we understood from the memorandum statement of Mr. Churchill, that the present effective forces of Great Britain were not sufficient, that Great Britain could no longer carry the load alone, that the three ships that we were to give were to be in excess of the number composing the British fleet, and that this $35,000,000 would not form part of the British naval expenditure. Now we know that this was not an emergency contribution, but a contribution for the regular naval programme of Great Britain. My right hon. friend has given the best proof possible that there was no emergency, and I thank him for his statement, because it shows that we were right from the first in believing that there was no emergency.
My right hon. friend did more at Toronto: he added to the fallacy of the emergency another fallacy just as fantastic and far more mischievous and dangerous. My right hon. friend stated at Toronto1 that a Canadian navy was a separatist navy.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.
Sir WILFRID LAURIER.


Wilfrid Laurier: Sir, I am not prepared-yes, I am prepared-for this statement. It is quite in keeping with the career of the Conservative party; it has been their stock argument for sixty, seventy, eighty years past. There never was a reform put upon the statute-book by the Liberal party-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Wilfrid Laurier: -but it was charged with disloyalty by the Conservative party. It is admitted that the basis of the British Empire to-day is the selfgoverning power given to the colonies some seventy years ago. Yet it is a matter of history that the reformers of that day, Baldwin and Lafontaine and their compeers, were denounced as traitors, while the Tories of that day saw imminent separation in the very idea of self-government. I am quite sure, if my hon. friend had lived in those days, he would have been a Tory then, as he is now, and would have been against self-government as he is to-day against the autonomous organization of our naval expenses. In regard to that, it is sufficient to quote against my right hon. friend in Toronto, my right hon. friend on the floor of the House of Commons. I have his opinions here upon the navy. This is what he said on the 12th of January, 1910, when I introduced the Naval Bill:
Then, it has been argued that the creation of a so-called Canadian navy will have a tendency towards the separation of this great Dominion from the Empire. I do not see that it has such a tendency more than the organization of a militia force.
This is the answer which I have to give to hon. gentlemen on the other side of the House. I know quite well that their answer will be that the policy of a Canadian navy is a separatist policy. My right hon. friend will try to arouse the prejudices of the people in Ontario; his confreres will endeavour to arouse the prejudices of the people in Quebec. We are accustomed to that practice. We have fought it before; we shall fight it agin. No amount of argument will convince the people that it is a separatist policy-no,t even when it comes from the mouth of the hon. member for Calgary (Mr. Bennett), who has tried and failed, and will fail again. He says that a Canadian navy means disloyalty. That means' that Sir John Macdonald and Sir George Cartier, the fathers of Confederation, who first were in favour of the principle of a Canadian navy, were disloyal. Our policy is a Canadian navy. We desire to help the British Empire by taking our share in building up a Canadian navy. We wish to have the navy manned and equipped in Canada, On that question we have taken our stand.

Upon it we stand to-day, and I invite my hon. friend to give us an opportunity oE putting it before the people.


Hon. W. T. WHITE (Minister of Finance) :: My right hon. friend, referring to
the action of the Senate, stated that the members of the Senate did not follow the dictation of anyone. I say that the Canadian Senate is a body not responsible to the Canadian people, or they would not have dared to reject this measure passed by this House, and approved by this country and the Empire at large. I say that the constitution of the Senate is not in keeping with the principles of British representative government; and the time will come, if we are to have action such as this on the part of that body, that their constitution must be changed and brought into accord with the principles of constitutional government in the Empire. My right hon. friend has stated that the members of the Senate were not dictated to. Will he deny that they have followed his lead in this matter? How shall we account for the action of Sir George Boss, leader of the Senate, on this question?


Wilfrid Laurier: Because he is a great Imperialist.


William Thomas White: How shall we account for the action of Sir George Ross, at variance with his public utterances of a lifetime on this question?


Mr. BELAND:: Never.


William Thomas White: Sir George Ross, for years past, by his public utterances has been in favour of a policy such as was submitted to this House by this Government.


Mr. MACDONALD:: What kind of a
policy is it?


William Thomas White: The only remark I desire
to make in regard to his actions in this matter, the course he has chosen to pursue, is to call attention to the verses of the American poet Whittier-


Mr. OLIVER:: Not an American poet.


William Thomas White: -with regard to Daniel
Webster, the great apostate, in which he calls him Ichabod, and says: ' Walk backward with averted gaze and hide the shame.


Mr.   BOSS@: Can the hon. gentleman give one instance in which Sir George Ross ever gave an opinion in favour of the naval policy of Mr. Borden or against a Canadian navy?


William Thomas White: I will not allow my hon.
friend to interrupt my speech. I make the assertion, without fear of contradiction, that the whole course of the public life of Sir George Ross upon this question, his utterances before Canadian clubs and in other
places, are absolutely at variance with the action he has taken.


William Pugsley: I rise to a point of
order. The rules of this House say that no hon. member shall use offensive words against either House or against a member. I submit to you, Mr. Speaker, that the language which my hon. friend has used with regard to Sir George Ross, a member of the Senate, is disrespectful and offensive language and not such as ought to be used towards a member of the other House. I am sure that, if a member of the Senate were to use such language regarding a member of this House, he would be promptly called to order. I think that you, Sir, will agree with me that the hon. the Minister of Finance ought to withdraw that expression.


William Thomas White: What expression?


William Pugsley: My hon. friend knows
perfectly well what it was. The expression was to the effect that the hon. gentleman ought to hide his shame. I think it was entirely disrespectful, contrary to the rules of the House, and contrary to those rules of courtesy which ought to govern the treatment of hon. members of this House towards the other Chamber, as well as hon. members of the other Chamber towards members of this House.


Mr. HAZEN:: In regard to the point of order raised by my hon. friend, he has been unable to put his finger on a single word used by the hon. Minister of Finance that can be construed as improper language to be used in reference to a gentleman in the other Chamber. I submit, before my hon. friend asks that that statement shall be ruled out of order, or shall be withdrawn, that my hon. friend is bound, in fairness to this House and under the rules of this House, to state what the objectionable language is which he says should be withdrawn and ruled out of order.


William Pugsley: The expression was that Sir George Ross ought to hide his face.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Order. I think the hon. member has stated the point of order fully, but in my judgment it is not well taken.


William Thomas White: With further reference to the remarks of my right hon. friend (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) as to members of the Senate not being dictated to by others and by himself, it is a matter of common knowledge in this House; it is a matter on which I have absolute information that Some members of the Senate, who were in favour of this Bill as it passed this House and went to the Senate, absented themselves, when the vote was taken, out of consideration for their party loyalty to my hon. friend. The people of this country

cannot be made for one moment to believe that the vote of the Senate upon this question represented the convictions of the majority of the Senate, constituted as it is. It was party loyalty to my right hon. friend that dictated the action of the Senate. He has spoken with regard to the naval question. What is the position of that question in Canada to-day? For thirty years, ever since the conference of the 'eighties, this matter of naval defence has been the subject of more or less discussion and has claimed more or less attention in the different parts of the Empire. For years we in Canada have been talking about our duty to the Empire and of what we should do to take our part in the national defence. And, up to the time when the Prime Minister brought in his Bill, no action had been taken that would have contributed in any measurable degree to the defence of the Empire, or even towards the defence of our own shores. Canadians have been known throughout the Empire as talkers on this question of naval defence. That has been the reproach of Canada-that	we have
talked and boasted of our loyalty, but have done nothing. My right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition will say that he introduced the Canadian Naval Act; but we all know that that navy was not intended to be a real navy.


Wilfrid Laurier: Order.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


William Thomas White: If my right hon. friend
will disclaim any such intention, I will withdraw what I have said in deference to his express statement; but, so far as his intention can be gathered from what was done, I say it would appear there was no intention on the part of those responsible for that legislation that there should be a real Canadian navy. Even when the right hon. gentleman in this House, in opposition to the naval programme brought down by the leader of the House, brought forward his plan for two fleet units, it was perfectly apparent to us on this side that there was division among his followers as to what should be done, and that the right hon. gentleman's real intention was to do substantially nothing. What did we do? Let us look at this matter fairly:	The
Prime Minister of this country last year went to headquarters on this subject; he consulted the Admiralty and he brought back one of the most significant documents ever laid on the table of this House. If that document did not represent a situation emergent and fraught with danger to tlhe Empire, then no language could be made to convey that idea. The leader of the Opposition takes a different view. But as between the opinion of that right hon. gentleman and the First Lord of the Mr. WHITE (Leeds).
Admiralty and the British Government on such a question, I hope he will pardon me if I elect to take the opinion of the Admiralty instead of his own. The right hon. leader of the Opposition lost the political chance of his lifetime.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


William Thomas White: I have sc much appreciation of the political sagacity of the right hon. gentleman that it would not have surprised me in the least if he had stood up in this House, as I think it was his duty to have done, and supported this measure brought down by the Government. He had before him a state document of the utmost significance as to naval defence, disclosing a situation of grave danger. That being so, he owed it to his party, to the country, to the Empire, to rise in his place and give adherence to the policy brought down. But he chose to take a different course; and let us see the consequences that have flowed from his action. But before I deal with the consequences, let me tell the right hon. gentleman that, so far as one can gather'the expressions of. constituencies, of the press and of every utterance in this country that is entitled to consideration, it is manifest that the policy of the right hon. Prime Minister has met with the abundant and hearty support ot the Cana-adian people.
Now, in what position is this country placed through the action of the Senate?- as my right hon. friend says, the partisan majority in the Senate. It is a position of humiliation for this country in the eyes of the Empire. That is the first consequence flowing from the policy of the leader of the Opposition and the resultant action of the Senate majority. Canada is humiliated in the eyes of the Empire by reason of the fact that after a condition was diclosed by the Admiralty such as I have indicated, an emergent condition calling for action, Canada failed to respond. After all our professions, after all our talk-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: On, oh.


William Thomas White: -and I include hon. gentlemen opposite in that, because they also have taken part in it; as a people we have boasted for years of our loyalty and of what we were about to do-I say that when a measure is brought down to give practical, effectual aid in this crisis of the Empire, the leader of the Opposition and the majority in the Senate commit an act of political vandalism, destroy this Bill-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: [DOT] Oh, oh.


William Thomas White: I say it is political vandalism. There should be no exultation in bringing about a merely negative result in this matter. It is easy to destroy. Any

man whose hand can wield a hammer can break a statue, no matter how finely that statue may be wrought; and so, the partisan majority in the Senate can destroy a measure such as this, a measure of the utmost consequence and necessarily promoting the strength, unity and solidarity of the Empire. This is precisely what has been done-a body blow has been struck at the unity of the Empire. Who are comforted by this action of the Senate? The enemies of Great Britain are comforted by it. And who are discomfiltted? The friends of Great Britain throughout the world; every part of the Empire is disappointed by this action. Let us not deceive ourselves as to what has been done- a body blow has been struck at the Imperial unity which professedly, we have all aimed to promote. There is no getting away from it. My own feeling with regard to the right hon. gentleman's action is one of sorrow. I feel that a measure designed for the benefit of the whole Empire has been thrown out and nullified for merely partisan consideration. My right hon. friend taJlks of an election-


Mr. CLARK (Red Deer):: Which right
hon. friend?
Sime hon. MEMBERS: Oh, oh.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: Order.


Michael Clark: I am sorry, Mr. Speaker,
if I am out of order; I merely wished to ask to which of the right hon. gentlemen the Minister of Finance referred.


William Thomas White: To my right hon. friend
the leader of the Opposition. I say he talks about an election. Does he quite realize the condition of Canada at the present time? Does he realize the conditions of financial stringency which are world-wide? What assurance have we from my right hon. friend or from the majority in the Senate, that if an election were held next week, their action would not be the same partisan action as within the last few days? He does not want an election; he knows it would be a crime against the people of Canada at a time such as this to bring on an election. He knows that right well. He does not want an election, but he does want the idea to be conveyed to the people-because he has a subtle mind-that he does want an election.
My right hon. friend missed the opportunity of a lifetime in not standing up- and i am sure he would 'have had no difficulty in obtaining the support of his followers in doing so-and approving this policy brought down in pursuance of what we must regard as at least an implied request on the part of the British Government that Canada should do her duty in
the serious situation which has been disclosed. But he did not do it; he has cast the die, and my own opinion is that in the action he has taken he has placed himself beyond the pale of political favour in Canada for the future. Is the British Empire to suffer by reason of the calamity which has overtaken the legislation introduced by my right hon. friend? The United Kingdom and the people of the United Kingdom do not create a party issue with regard to the matter of naval defence. When a measure of naval defence is introduced into the British House of Commons, all political parties feel it incumbent upon themselves as patriots to give it their support. You do not hear Mr. Balfour assail Mr. Asquith when Mr. Asquith brings down a measure to increase the effective naval forces of the Empire. There is no partisanship there; it is all true patriotism, and if there is any unity and solidarity in the Empire, I say that when this Parliament received such a document as was laid on the table of the House, prepared by the Admiralty and the British Government, it was the plain duty of the Parliament of Canada and the representatives of the people there assembled to accede to the request therein made, and to do what this Government called for. The whole tone of the press abroad, who are capable of judging these matters, is that in this situation the course proposed is the only effectual action Canada can immediately take. Once you make the British Empire supreme at sea you can take your time for those other necessary things; time for the construction of your large dry-docks; time for the fortification of your harbours: time to consider what is the best course to adopt with a view to building up a navy, because the building up of a navy is a matter of years. In the meantime the one thing needful is to strengthen that Imperial fleet without which local navies would be as paper screens against foreign attack.
As I say, in Great Britain they do not quarrel over these matters. When Canada failed in her duty by reason of the action of the Senate, the question was instantly brought up in the British House of Commons. What about the statement of Mr. Churchill, which I have read in this House, that if Canada did not do her plain duty in accordance with the requirements of the situation as disclosed in the memorandum laid upon the table of this House, that duty would have to be discharged by the sacrifices of others? Those sacrifices are now about to be made, because Great Britain knows the situation; knows the importance of Imperial defence; knows the emergency that has been create 1 and which still exists; knows the conditions connected with the European international

situation as we in Canada do not and cannot begin to know them. The British authorities say: If we are to maintain the supremacy of the British fleet in order to secure the safety of our shores, our commerce and our Empire, then we must at once do what Canada has failed to do; we must anticipate our naval programme and lay down the keels of three ships, and the people' of the British Islands must make those sacrifices which the people of Can-and have been debarred from making through the action of the Canadian Senate. My right hon. friend the Prime Minister comes before the House to-day and says that we are temporarily debarred from action; temporarily debarred from doing what this Government desires to do, and what the people of Canada are desirous that this Government should do, and he says that as soon as we can we will repair the error that has been made. Providence is on our side.


Henri Sévérin Béland: We have the people.


William Thomas White: My hon. friend says he
has the people; that I deny. Providence is on our side, I say, and there will come a time when a majority will not throw out a measure of this kind. My right hon. friend says we will repair what has been done; we will put ourselves in such a position that Canada's action at present will have been only deferred action, and that Canada will fully discharge her duty as soon as this Parliament is in a position to take such steps as will bring that end to pass.


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: I cannot allow the declaration
made by the right hon. leader of the Opposition that I have said that we owe nothing to England pass unnoticed. The right hon. gentleman and his friends and back-benchers may go everywhere; they may refer to tne newspapers in which my speeches were correctly reported, and they will find that no such expression was ever reported as coming from my mouth. I have always believed that we in this country, especially the French-Canadians, owe a great deal to England, and I have never changed my opinion in this regard. I may tell him now that he has no right in the dying hours of the session to try to create all over Canada the impression that one of the members of this House nttered such a disloyal sentiment as that which 'he has attributed to me. Whilst I stand here for the principle of helping the British Empire, the Tight hon. gentleman tells this country that I am disloyal, whilst he, with all his professed loyalty, stands up and votes against the very thing that would help the Empire. He attributed to me words which I never uttered. I have no doubt that he did so in good faith; his newspapers have lied so much and he has read them so often that Mr. WHITE (Leeds).
perhaps he actually believes them to-day. But I tell him once for all that the assertion is not true, and with all his years in political life and with all the prestige which he has as the leader of a great political party, he has no right to place in my mouth words which I never uttered.
I am told to-day that I have made this, that and the other promise. These utterances come with bad grace from the hon. gentleman who has thought fit to break all the solemn pledges he has made from the beginning of his political life to the present time. I am told that I have broken a pledge. Where is the party and who is the leader of the party winch is known in this country as the party of broken pledges? It has been said that I have said certain things at certain times and that my opinions have changed. Perhaps some hon-. gentlemen may have the right to discuss that matter with me, but I see before me an hon. gentleman who at a most solemn moment in the history of this country, said:	We shall send no volunteers to
South Africa, and the following morning he turned a wonderful somersault, changing his opinion in twenty-four hours. Such are the men who tell me that I have changed my opinion. They have become very sanctimonious; they have become very virtuous indeed; and they look all around and say: Where shall we find a man who has broken some pledges? who would join the procession of promise breakers that they have been for the last fourteen years. It appears that at a given moment I have promised a plebiscite or better than a plebiscite. This is another newspaper lie that I am going to nail down now. I contended that on the Laurier naval law, this law being for a permanent policy should not go into effect or should not be proceeded upon except after the people had pronounced upon it by way of consultation, plebiscite, referendum or election. I have been true to my word. I never said that we would have a plebiscite or a popular consultation about an emergency or temporary policy. I never said that and consequently I am not breaking any pledges or any promises in standing here to-day with my right hon. friend and leader and the members of this House in order to fulfil what I consider a most solemn and sacred duty to the Empire of which we form a part. I say that even if I had said before, in the province of Quebec or anywhere, that we should not have a navy without a referendum, that after I had seen and heard what I saw and heard in the Mother Country last summer, it was my most sacred, bounden duty as a Canadian to come back here and to take the stand which I have taken, irrespective cf the consequences. This whole country has been told that we have been working

hand in hand with certain members of the Liberal party who have become Nationalists. That is a fact. But when I am called upon, as a member of the House of Commons and as a member of the Government, to take a stand on any public question, I shall not go and look back ten or fifteen years and ascertain what I said at that time, I will take the events of the day, the circumstances as they are disclosed to me, I shall exercice my judment and my liberty of action as I understand it.
Le Devoir! My right hon. friend says that he has found me in company with the gentlemen who write in Le Devoir. He was in their company before Le Devoir was started, they parted company with him at a certain moment but they have met now and they have joined company. But, Sir, those bad Nationalists, those men about whom my right hon. friend spoke a moment ago, they are at one with him, they agree with him now. They wanted the Senate to kill this Bill. So did my right hon. friend. They are hand in hand. If I was in the wrong in being with them at the moment when I thought they were right, my right hon. friend has taken my place with them now. If I committed a crime my right hon. friend, who has had much more experience than I, has thought fit to commit that crime and, forsooth, to stand up and say that I am a 'big criminal because I have done it and that he is a big man because he is doing it now. It is really amusing to hear our hon. friends on the other side of the House. They are anxious to go to the people. Anxious? Anxiety is no name for it. But do they want the people to be consulted on this subject? No. I am going to prove it to you right away. If you want to have the opinion of the people on this question and on this question alone, if you do not want the people of this country to be told that they should vote for a French-Canadian against an Orangeman like Borden


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Shame, shame.


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: If you want the people of this country to meet the issue fairly and squarely, the way to attain this would be to leave this question out of politics and not to have an election over it. A motion for a referendum has been made in this House. The gentlemen have had a chance to discard politics on this question and to have the opinion of the people on it. When they were called upon to face this issue they said: Oh, no, no, no, we want an election. They have not yet realized that the people have voted against them, and they believe that if they could only get another chance they might get back to the treasury benches, that is all. The people of this country are no fools, the people-


Mr. MARTIN (St. Mary's, Montreal):: They may be fooled, once, but not more than once.


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: My right hon. friend is sitting in a fool's paradise himself.


William Melville Martin: Mr. Speaker, I rise to a point of order. I think the hon. gentleman had no right to answer me in the way he did. I have said that the people were fooled once by these gentlemen and now if they are in power it is because the people were fooled in that way.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order, order.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: If the hon. gentleman
wants to raise a point of order let him state it. I do not think that what he has proposed is a point of order.


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: My hon. friend hardly understands the meaning of a fool's paradise or he would see that there is no injury to him in it. So far as I am concerned, when this question came up, I used my best judgment and when I hear people telling us here that, forsooth, we are not going to do our duty on account of the big thing which is in the salary of a Cabinet minister, which has not been increased for the last forty years and than which any man with ordinary brains can make more at his own profession, I say that this is all claptrap. It is all right for some hon. gentlemen to try and say that to the people, but there is nothing in it. Let me say before I resume my seat that our hon. friends on the other side of the House have a record and a record which is well worth looking into before they throw stones into their neighbours' gardens.
The right hon. leader of the Opposition told this House this morning that the Prime Minister had at his left the Postmaster General of Canada who is a 'disloyal man. Sir, for the last forty or fifty years in this country we have seen at every point the party now led by my right hon. friend take a stand before the public opposed to anything that looked like the militia or defence. The Militia Bill of Sir George Cartier and Sir John A. Macdonald was opposed by the leaders of the Liberal party, who went around from platform to platform in Quebec telling the people that it was a shame for the Canadians to arm or to have a militia to defend the country.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: We have had a curious utterance from the hon. gentleman, who is a follower, not of the present Premier of this country, but of Mr. Armand Lavergne, in an attempt to justify himself before t/he people of Canada. I do not propose to follow him along the line which he adopted other than to quote a statement made with regard to himself by the chief of the Nationalist

party, who has told us some of the inside history of the pact 'between the Nationalists and the Tory party in 1911. This is what he says of my bon. friend (Mr. Pelletier).
Although the slimmest, Pelletier was the hardest to get through, not only because of his Nationalist tendencies, but because of his kindly dispositions to business-complicated business.


Michael Clark: Who says
that?


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: Mr. Bourassa, the
chief of the Nationalist party, He goes on:
But because of his kindly dispositions to business-complicated business (witness the mail sacks and padlocks). Lavergne did his best to make him pass muster and he could do no less for the most ardent of his disciples.
My hon. friend who has execrated and abused the Liberal party for the last quarter of an hour, is known all over the province of Quebec as the man who declared that he was a supporter of my right hon. friend, the Prime Minister, who is trying to pose before the people of Ontario as the man who has always been loyal, a Tory who has never had anything to do with Nationalists. Where are we in regard to this 'matter? On December 5, the right hon. gentleman who leads this House, repeated the statement which he alleged he had made in 1910. If he had told us some of the other things which he said in 1910 we would never have had a naval debate or Bill in 1912. This is what he said in 1910, he was going to do:	He
proposed to find out certain things by going to the British Admiralty, and then he said he would appeal to Parliament for immediate and effective aid, and if Parliament did not give immediate and effective aid, he would appeal from Parliament to the people of the country. That was the pledged word of my right hon. friend, the troth that he pledged with the Canadian people on December 5, when he came to this House and asked it to pass the resolution which has been defeated. Is he going to keep his word? Is he going to stand before Canada and the Empire as the man who makes bold professions as to his intention to go before the people, or is he the man who will hereafter be remembered as having skulked and run away from the issue when Parliament put it up to him?


Thomas Simpson Sproule: The hon. member is
using language that is scarcely in consonance with the dignity of the House. He has spoken of an hon. gentleman having skulked and run away. I do not think that is in order.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: I shall proceed with my argument. The issue before this Parliament and before the people of this coun-Mr. MACDONALD.
try is whether the Prime Minister is going to make good his declaration of December 5, when he told us what he was going to do. What does he do? He proceeds to abuse the Senate, dodges' the issue, and fails to frankly answer my right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition. He talks about Senate reform in a general way, and puts up the Minister of Finance to abuse Sir George Ross. In passing, let me say that the long career, the splendid record-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Edward Mortimer Macdonald: -the devotion to everything which makes for the maintenance of the Empire expressed by the voice and pen of Sir George Ross, are a complete and absolute answer to these men who ally themselves with Nationalists one day, and shout loyalty from the housetops the next. You have never found Sir George Ross surrounded by questionable associates, or by men whose devotion to the Empire was the subject of criticism. Let me say, Sir, in regard to my hon. friend the Minister of Finance, who talks about our leader, and Sir George Ross having lost the chance of a lifetime that that is the way the Minister of Finance looks at every public question. The Minister of Finance did not hesitate in 1911, when he saw a chance to leave his party and to make some political advancement, to desert all the principles he had ever held. The Minister of Finance who lectured this House to-day is on record as having declared that up to the announcement of the reciprocity pact he stood for all the principles of the Liberal party. He therefore stood for the naval policy of 1909, so that, Sir, he knows how to take a political chance when it means political advancement for himself. He is astounded to find that there are men in public life who are animated by principle, animated by devotion to sound ideas in regard to Empire preservation, and who are prepared to stand for them, even, if for the moment, they may be in the shade, with the absolute consciousness that time will vindicate them and that results will bring to fruition a proper policy and the only proper policy under which this Empire can be assisted. Sir, when these men talk about Downing Street, and instruct Canadian public men what to do do they realize that they are saying to the Canadian people that they cannot exercise their judgment, that they cannot exercise their Canadian intellect in regard to what is best for Canada and for the Empire. They must at all times be subservient to the line of thought that comes from Downing Street. God save Canada if Toronto is the embodiment of the patriotic ideas of this country. The Liberal party and our leaders stand for the idea of an Empire which can only

live by the certainty of the attainment and security of the rights of each individual part of it. We believe that Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand have as much right in the Empire as the Mother Country. We believe that the Empire can never stand otherwise. The truth of that is being acknowledged, and it is being recognized that a man who is born in Canada has as much right to say what he believes to be the best for the Empire quite as well as the man who is born under the shadow of Westminster. We believe in the idea that a Canadian is as good as any other man in the British Empire. There is not a man on this side of the Speaker who, on this question has any doubts about the future. We follow the lines that our leader laid down years ago, of Empire maintenance and preservation. We know that the country will vindicate our position and we know that time will show that only along the line upon which Sir Wilfrid Laurier has gone can this Empire stand.

Mr. LEMIEUX:: Will you explain?


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: There was a great deal of opposition in the Senate to some sections in this Bill. The Senate decided to strike out these sections, and there is nothing for me to do but to accept those amendments for the moment, reserving future action and recourse.


William Pugsley: There is a clause in the Bill providing that the company shall take over these rights and properties at a sum of $5,000,000. Does it still remain in the Bill?


Louis-Philippe Pelletier: 
[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and amendments read the second time and concurred in.

Thomas Simpson Sproule: I have the honour to inform the House that I 'have received the following from the Senate:
Resolved, that a message be sent to the Bouse of Commons by one of the Masters in Chancery to inform that House that the Senate doth insist upon their amendments tot Bill No. 32, intituled: ' An Act to Encourage and Assist the Improvements of Highways ' herewith, for the following amongst other reasons:-
1.	Because the right of the Senate to amend a Bill is not impaired by the proceedings which may have taken place during the progress of the Bill through the Commons. I
2.	Because the reason assigned for the rejection of similar amendments made in the House of Commons, that said House will yearly pass upon each item of expenditure does not apply to the Senate whose only recourse in case of disagreement would be to reject the Supply Bill.
3.	Because the amendment made by the Senate to the third clause of the Bill by the addition of sub-clause 2 affirms the principle of equitable distribution of intended supplementary subsidies to the provinces, according to the agreement entered into by the provinces at the time of Confederation.
4.	Because the method of distribution provided for by the said first amendment is based upon the principle fair and reasonable in itself and is that announced by members of the Administration in the Senate and in the House of Commons during the last and the present sessions of Parliament as their settled policy, and that which has been actually embodied in the Bill respecting aid to agriculture for the current year.
5.	Because the said Bill is an enabling measure, and in order to make its provisions effective has to be supplemented by placing the monies proposed to be voted for its objects in the yearly Supply Bill; and, moreover, the said Bill was declared by His Honour the Speaker of the House of Commons' not to be a money Bill.
That the Senate adheres to the seventh amendment for the following among other' reasons:-
1.	Because section 6 of the Bill empowers' the minister to undertake the construction or improvement of highways in any province, which would be a contravention of the letter and spirit of the British North America Act, 1867, and of the uniform practice under that Act, for which contravention no sufficient cause has been shown.

2.	Because the said amendment affirms in effect that it is undesirable that the minister or the Dominion Government should usurp the functions of the provincial administration in the building and maintenance of highways and bridges.
3.	Because the said amendment will not
hamper the Administration in carrying out its policy and in applying the funds placed in the estimates for that object under condition and regulations it may deem just and proper to make, sufficient provision being made in earlier clauses of the Bill for co-operation between the federal and provincial governments.	. I
i. Because section 6 of the Bill is a violation of the principle of responsible government, inasmuch as the Dominion in expending provinical subsidy would not be responsible to either the provincial or Dominion legislature.	,


GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS ACT AMENDMENT.
Thomas Simpson Sproule: I have the honour to
inform the House that I have received the following from the Senate:
Resolved, that a message be sent to the House of Commons by one of the .Masters in Chancery to inform that House that the Senate doth insist upon their amendments made to Bill No. 135, intituled: ' An Act to amend the Government Railways Act ' herewith, for the following reasons :-
1.	Because the said Bill as passed by the House of Commons is a violation of the principle of responsible government inasmuch as it purports to give a permanent mandate to the Governor General in Council to commit the country to any amount of expenditure before any appropriation has been voted by Parliament.
2.	Because the said Bill is but an enabling Bill, and that, moreover, without the said amendment made by the Senate this Chamber would deem it its duty to reject the said Bill in toto as passed by the House of Commons.

FARMERS BANK-REIMBURSEMENT OF DEPOSITORS.

[Stage Direction]
M. ROCH LANCTOT: Monsieur le president, est-ce l'intention du premier ministre de donner une reponse a ma question du 5 courant, concern ant la Farmers' Bank?
Robert Laird Borden: The question of the hon. member is as follows:
Is it the intention of the Government to reimburse the depositors of the Farmers' Bank? If so, does the Government propose to act in like manner with the depositors of the Bank of St. Jean and of the Bank Ville Marie?
The answer is as follows: It appears from the report of the commissioner appointed to investigate the matter of the failure of the Farmers" Bank (a) That the issue of the certificate of the Treasury Board authorizing the bank to commence business, was procured by false and fraudulent representations on the part of the promoter and subsequent general manager of the bank, W. R. Travers, (b) That in the commissioner's opinion it was incumbent upon the Treasury Board before issuing its certificate, to have investigated certain charges made to the Department of Finance that the amount required by the Bank Act to be paid in respect of subscriptions, had not in fact been so paid, and (c) That if the true facts had been disclosed, the certificate of the Treasury Board would not have been given, and thus the bank under the management of Travers would not have been authorized to commence business.	_
The'case is of exceptional and indeed unique character, both with regard to the fraudulent means by which the certificate was procured and in respect of the results which followed, involving the ultimate loss of all moneys placed in the bank by the unfortunate depositors. The man who fraudulently procured the certificate in the name of the bank, was enabled to attract those deposits by the unwarranted assumption of powers in violation of plain statutory conditions. While the direct subsequent cause of the loss was the fraud and dishonesty of the bank's manager in the administration of its affairs, there is nevertheless a certain connection between that loss and the power and status with which he became invested upon the granting of the certificate. Having regard to these considerations, the Government consider that the depositors are entitled to a reasonable measure of relief, which will

be provided by legislation to be introduced at the next session of Parliament.
The case of the other banks mentioned, is in no wise similar, and the action which the Government propose to take in the case of the Farmers' Bank will afford no warrant or precedent for reimbursing their depositors.



PROTECTION OF FEMALE IMMIGRANTS.

Andrew Broder: I
ask to be allowed to take up a few moments of the time of the House to call attention to a matter of urgent importance. I would ask particularly that the acting Minister of the Interior should consider this subject. It goes without saying that the immigrants who come to this country under inducements that are held out by our agents are in a very important sense the wards of our Government. Especially are we in duty bound to see to it that in the case of young girls coming to this country no advantage is taken of them and no harm comes to them. I have information from people who are well informed on the subject which leads me to believe that more care should be taken to protect especially this class of immigrants. Some of the reports may be exaggerated, and for that reason I will not give the figures that have been given to me. But I am told that out of 1,400 young girls coming into this country, a large number are unaccounted for when their parties reach their destination. I would suggest to the Minister of the Interior that provision should be made on the train to look after these immigrants, for otherwise they may be led into difficulties by designing people. I had an instance brought to my attention by a gentleman who was personally aware of the facts. In one of our cities-I will not give the name-several of these women immigrants arrived at the station and were directed to go to a certain place where there was a refuge for them. The gentleman who gave me the facts, whose business it was to assist and look after ' these people under the direction of some society in the city, noticed at the station a young girl apparently loitering about. He spoke to her. He found that she was from Sweden and could not speak a word of English. She had a card directing her to a certain number of a certain street, and on the card was a written statement that her sister would meet her or call for her. The street had not a good name, and evidently the sister had not met the girl. So, this gentleman sent the girl in a cab to the address given, but told the driver not to leave her there until he found out the character of the place. And the place was found to he one not of desirable character by any means. This innocent girl did not know what was on the card, and the statement that she was to be met
i	

by her sister was evidently intended merely to deceive the authorities. There should be some provision on the trains throughout the country to see that these people come to no harm in their transit to their destinations in Canada. These people are wards of our Government, and we should feel our responsibility for their safety.


Mr. J. H. BURNHAM (West Peterborough):: The hon. member for Dundas (Mr. Broder) spoke to me personally on this subject, asking me if I would support him in bringing it to the attention of the House, which I am glad to do. I happen to know something about this matter, having made inquiries, being indirectly interested in the work that is carried on for the protection of these girls. It is appalling to find the offenses that are committed every day which ought to command the attention of this House and action on the part of the minister, as I fancy they would if the minister felt that in any extraordinary efforts he put forth he would have the support and endorsation of the House. And I fancy there is not the slightest inclination on the part of any hon. member to be stingy in providing the means to superintend this immigration, especially in large cities. I am informed that it was only a short time ago discovered, that in the Union Station, Toronto, the young fellows employed as red caps actually engaged in assaulting the young girls coming from the Old Country. This sort of thing is going on to an alarming extent all over the country. Some people say these reports are exaggerated. The extent of the evil may be exaggerated, but there is no doubt that it is of an appalling character.


Michael Clark: While I hope the conditions are not as bad as my hon. friend from West Peterborough has indicated, yet I am sure that we all feel that any steps that can be taken for the protection of female immigrants should be taken. I think there will be no difference of opinion on that question throughout the House. I think it ought not to be a very difficult matter to attend to. It should only include bringing them into the country and getting them to the West, for when they reach the West it will be easy to provide each of them with the proper natural protector of a young girl.


Robert Laird Borden: The subject brought to the attention of the House by the hon. member for Dundas and the other members is one worthy of most serious consideration. As a matter of fact, during the past year, I have been in communication on many occasions with Colonel Sherwood, head of the Dominion Police, who has performed important duties in this regard and has had opportunity for giving it special attention,

in addition to the work carried on, as I understand, by the Department of Immigration. It is possible that sometimes the reports we get of these matters are a little exaggerated. A case was brought to my attention five or six months ago. It was supposed that two highly respectable girls from the United Kingdom had been led astray on coming to Canada. They had come out to take service in the household of a former member of this House, Mr. Ganong. He came to see me with regard to the matter, and we had the Dominion Police and other authorities making search for these girls all over the country. Eventually, it was discovered that they were in Montreal, where they had found more remunerative employment than they could get in Mr. Ganong's household, and were doing very well indeed. So we- must not believe that all girls who have been lost sight of have absolutely been led astray. But I do not doubt that there are evils in connection with this matter that ought to be redressed. I asked Colonel Sherwood to take it up and to make suggestions to myself and to the Minister of Justice. He has done so. His suggestions have been carried out, in the first place, by certain amendments to the Criminal Code, which have been assented to by the Senate without any limitation of these sections, as I understand. In addition to that, Colonel Sherwood thought that an additional appropriation of $10,000 would be necessary for him to carry on additional work which, in his judgment, would be necessary. In this matter I relied largely, indeed altogether, upon the report he made to me and to the Minister of Justice, as the result of his investigation. In the estimates which went through last night, there was one item in the supplementary estimates which, to the extent of $10,000 is to be at the disposal of Colonel Sherwood for this work. I can assure my hon. friend from Dundas, and other hon. members who have alluded to the subject, and all the members of the House, that so far as I am personally concerned, there is no effort that I will leave unmade to stop this evil. I regard it as the absolute duty of this Parliament, and especially of this Government, to put forth every effort to make offenses of this kind impossible so far as that can be done by legislation. The efforts we are making in that direction are, so far as we know, the best that can be made. I have spoken of prevention; I want to speak also of punishment. If any further amendment to the Criminal Code can be provided for the purpose of tracing and discovering those who make their livelihood by this means, and of punishing them as they ought, to be punished for their efforts to lead innocent girls astray, I am willing to pledge myself to this Parliament and to the people of this country, Mr. BORDEN.
so far ais my ability goes, to put such a measure through the House and to endeavour to obtain for it the consent of Parliament.


Thomas Wilson Crothers: There can be no two opinions
among the members of this House concerning the importance of the problem of immigration. Our uninterrupted prosperity will depend very largely upon the continuous inflow of desirable immigrants; I am glad to say that immigration into Canada has been largely on the increase, and that the quality also is better than ever before. It seems to me, and I have thought so for a long time, that it is very desirable that more attention should be given to immigrants when they reach the shores of this country. I think our policy should be to guide rather than send newcomers to this country to their destinations. My attention was called a few months ago, as the head of the Department of Labour, to several employment agencies which were suspected of swindling immigrants at ports of entry.
I caused an inquiry to be made concerning the matter, and I found that the complaints were well founded. We found in Montreal that one employment agency had obtained from the immigrants in three months $10,000. They were in the habit of charging the men who applied to them for employment $15; they made arrangements with the railway companies whereby these immigrants were taken to certain portions of the country for a certain amount of money, and they were charging the immigrants a great deal more than they should. As a result of the report I received concerning these matters, I caused a set of regulations to be made under section 66 of the Immigration Act, whereby everyone who has any dealings with immigrants is obliged to take out a license and to record certain particulars concerning the man who seeks employment-where he comes from, who he leaves behind, where he is going to, and so on. Although these regulations have been in force only two weeks, several convictions have already been made against employment agents who have been treating the immigrants fraudulently, and they have been severely fined under the regulations. I think every possible step should be taken to provide that the immigrants when they reach this country should be well treated, cordially welcomed, and assisted and guided to their destinations, rather than that they should be allowed to leave the vessels at our great ocean ports by the hundreds of thousands, without anyone to look after them, and go to Montreal, Toronto and other cities in great numbers. We have in contemplation the erection of a large building in Toronto which will be a kind of temporary resting place for immi-

grants coming to that city before they are finally located. As I said at the beginning, I think we cannot give too much care to the immigrants who come to this country. It is desirable that "we should get as many as possible, and that they should be worthy additions to our population. It is important that the newcomer should get a good impression of the country when he first gets here, and I think we have to a certain extent been neglectful in this regard. I am anxious to do anything I can to remedy what I consider to have been negligence in respect of our treatment of immigrants in the past.


Frank Oliver: I
am sure everybody will believe that my hon. friend and the Government will do everything they -can along the line mentioned. Certain benevolent associations, having become cognizant of the condition of affairs which my hon. friend the hon. member for Dundas (Mr. Broder) has mentioned, have provided officials at the railway stations to meet the incoming trains and to endeavour to prevent such occurrences as have been mentioned. I would suggest that in order to meet the case spoken of by my hon. friend it will be necessary to employ women, as these benevolent associations have been doing. I do not think it is right that the benevolent associations should carry that burden; I think it is a burden which should be carried by the state.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I see that a congress has been convened in Europe to which various religious organizations of Montreal have sent delegates. I do not know what the other churches in Montreal are doing; I know they are doing a great deal to meet the contingency, but I may -say this on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church: The Archbishop of Montreal has organized a committee of priests and nuns to meet Catholic immigrants arriving at the port of Montreal, and I have heard great encomiums in respect of the work being done by the Archbishop of Montreal in that regard. I think the same thing is being done in Quebec on behalf of the Roman Catholic church there. The hon. Minister of the Interior has been kind enough to give Reverend Father Casgrain access to the public offices there in order to facilitate his work. I am bound to say that with regard to Catholic immigrants we do not receive complaints, because the clergy and nuns take charge of the young girls coming into this country at those cities. I think that if the various church organizations would adopt the same principle, we would hear less of the sad news which has been imparted to the House by the hon. member for Dundas to-day. On
the whole I think the suggestion made by my hon. friend is an excellent one, that public opinion should be aroused, and that we should do our best to protect the young girls who come from other countries into Canada.


Mr. D. A. LAFORTUNE (Montcalm):: I want to corroborate what the hon. gentleman has said in regard to this matter. It is very important, and should be given the most careful attention. The Minister of Labour has said that there is a large building at Toronto which is used to house the immigrants when they arrive at that city. Is there any such building in Montreal?


Thomas Wilson Crothers: My hon. friend misunderstood me; I said that the erection of such a building was in contemplation. I understand that a similar building is in course of erection in Montreal.


David Arthur Lafortune: I am glad to know that, because Montreal is the queen city of the Dominion. I am very glad to know that the hon. Minister of Labour is making provision to protect the immigrants who arrive in this country, but I would ask him not to forget Montreal.


Mr. H. B. MORPHY (North Perth):: I
would not have risen to say anything with regard to this matter except that the subject has touched upon the many complaints I have received during the last couple of months from the town of Stratford. Complaint has been made that the immigration service at Toronto, which largely contributes to supplying Ontario, is decidedly lacking in organization.' The principle employed there is not crystallized so as to deal specifically with men having certain trades or occupations and it frequently results that men with good trades .are sent to take up with farmers and farmers who know nothing about a trade are sent to take up in the city as common labourers or some such occupation. I have taken the opportunity of placing the matter before the present Minister of the Interior in the hope that a little more money would be applied towards the specific directions of tradesmen to proper places. It has become quite a serious matter in western Ontario, the getting of skilled labour, and I know personally many bright young mechanics from England who are to-day on the farms of western Canada because they were not directed as they came in to a place where they could serve and earn their wages at the trade to which they happened to have been brought up. With regard to the other matter, I endorse the sentiments of other speakers in connection with the female portion of immigrants and hope that the Government will back up the statements of the Prime Min-



ister and give specific attention to what has become a very alarming abuse in the country at large.


Thomas Simpson Sproule: I might take the opportunity of announcing to the House that up to four o'clock the closure rules do not apply.



NAVAL FORCES OF THE EMPIRE.

William Pugsley: I would ask the Minister of Finance a question, since you have intimated Mr. Speaker, that there is no closure. The Minister of Finance, in speaking about the naval question before recess and in reference to the expressed desire on the part of the leader of the Opposition and other gentlemen upon this side of the House, an expression, I think, of a feeling which is unanimous on this sidle of the House and among the Liberals of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that there should be an election-the Minister of Finance stated that the right hon. leader of the Opposition had no idea of the condition of affairs in this country when he talked of an election. I would ask him what he meant by that statement?


William Thomas White: I do not understand what portion of my remarks the hon. member is referring to.


William Pugsley: I am endeavouring to explain to my hon. friend. He said:	my
right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition talks about an election. My hon. friend the Minister of Finance followed up that remark by saying that the leader of the Opposition had no idea of the extraordinary condition of affairs in this country, referring to the financial condition of the country.


William Thomas White: I did not use any such words. What I said, in substance at all events-I cannot recall the precise words- was that having regard to the financial conditions of this country to-day, to bring on an election would be a preposterous thing. I also said, and I repeat now, that the last thing my hon. friend, or my hon. friend from St. John, or my hon. friend from Halifax wants, is an election. They want the impression to go out that they desire an election.


Wilfrid Laurier: My hon. friend has no right to impute motives to me. I want an election; I am sincere about it, and I would open the campaign in the city of Toronto.


William Thomas White: My right hon. friend will always get a courteous reception in the city of Toronto. He is a brilliant orator, and he has a very interesting personality, but he is short on votes in the city of Toronto, and always will be so long as he continues to pursue the policy which he has pursued on the naval question.
Mr. MORPHY.


William Pugsley: Referring to the financial condition of the country let me tell my hon. friend that the people of Canada are quite willing to risk any results so far as it will affect the finances of the country.


John Hampden Burnham: You have nothing to lose.


William Pugsley: My hon. friend from Peterborough is quite correct, as he so frequently is. The Liberal party would not propose to risk any great amount of money in the election, and therefore so far as an election is concerned, they would have nothing to lose. But so far as the Conservative party is concerned, I have no doubt that they would risk a great deal.
I think my hon. friend (Mr. White) need have no fear as to an election disturbing the condition of financial affairs in the country. It is said by hon. gentlemen on the other side of the House that the safety of the British Empire is greatly endangered because the Senate has declared that this Bill shall not pass until the people of the country have had an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon it. Well, Mr. Speaker, if hon. gentlemen are sincere, if they believe that it would be in the interest of the country and in the interest of the Empire that those three proposed dreadnoughts should be ordered at once on behalf of Canada, if they believe that they have the confidence of the people of this country, the matter can be quickly disposed of. Before hon. gentlemen leave Ottawa they could ask His Excellency the Administrator to dissolve Parliament, and an election could be brought on within four weeks of the date of dissolution. If they believe that the sentiment of the people of Canada is in favour of this alleged emergency proposal, of this thing which is the outgrowth of that unholy alliance between Conservatives and Nationalists; if they believe that the people of Canada favour such a proposition as that, it would be a matter of only five or six weeks before Parliament could be called together again, and if they could show to the Senate that they had a mandate from the people of this country for the vote of $35,000,000, and for the abandonment of the idea of a Canadian navy, they have in black and white in the resolution, which the Senate has passed, the strongest possible assurance which they could have, or could wish to have, that the Senate would without hesitation pass the Bill and enable them to send the money over to England.


Mr. WRIGHT (Muskoka):: What is there in the resolution of the Senate that conveys the slightest intimation that they would pass the Bill under such circumstances?


William Pugsley: That is a very fair question, and I shall endeavour to answer it. The Senate has said that in their opinion it would not be desirable, and that they would not be justified in passing this Bill until the judgment of the country had been taken upon it.


Mr. BENNETT (Calgary):: Will the hon. member for St. John be content to tender his resignation if I tender mine, and thus Iftst the sentiment of eastern and western Canada ?


An hon. MEMBER:: Now is your chance.


William Pugsley: I will do better than that. If my hon. friend and I were to appeal to our respective constituencies, I do not imagine for a moment that the Senate would regard the result as a mandate from the Canadian people. But let us do what the Senate has said we ought to do, and that with which they will be satisfied. Let us ask the Government to dissolve Parliament, to take as quickly as possible the judgment of the people of this country, and then to come back and ask the Senate to act upon the judgment of the people.


Mr. FOWLER:: None of you will come back.


William Pugsley: Then my hon. friend ought not to be afraid. If we would not come back, then, in the judgment of my hon. friend, that would be the very best thing that could happen to the country, and, according to the judgment of my hon. friend, the sooner that could happen the better it would be for the country. Then why hesitate ? Why hesitate to do this splendid thing, as you say, for Canada and for the Empire. Why do you cheer the Minister of Finance when he says: Appeal to the country, not a bit of it; we will wait; we are plSying a waiting game; Providence is upon our side; vacancies will occur in the Senate; in the course of time, age and illness will get in their work?
_ Mr. WHITE: Do I understand that it is my hon. friend's interpretation of my words that Providence is on our side ? '


William Pugsley: Yes.


William Thomas White: I am glad to hear it.


William Pugsley: My hon. friend said that Providence was on his side. What does that mean ? It means that in the course of time Providence will bring illness and vacancies in the Senate, that the Government will have power to fill those vacancies, .and that by and by they will have a majority in the Senate which will not be a partisan majority. It will be a majority imbued with the sentiments which actuate the four gentlemen who were appointed to the Senate the other
day, a majority that will be able to do tardy justice to the Empire, and enable the Government to send over those ships to Great Britain. But that is a long time for the Empire to wait. It is asking the Mother Country to rest upon a very slender thread, because most of those gentlemen in the Senate are very strong and vigourous, and they may last longer than those of us in this House; so that for the passage of the Naval Bill we cannot rely on Providence. I am sorry to take up the time of the House when there are so many eloquent gentlemen hero who might better have spoken than myself; but I felt that I would not be justified in keeping my seat after the remarks of my hon. friend the Minister of Finance (Mr. White) who said that we could not think of going to the country, even to save the Empire, even although the Empire should be in danger and even when the enemies of Great Britain in all quarters of the globe are rejoicing by reason of the body blow the Senate has given to the naval proposition. Notwithstanding all that we could not think, says my hon. friend, of going to the country because of the present financial condition. Under whose administration has this present financial condition been brought about? How is it that with hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming into this country, year after year, with magnificent crops, with granaries overflowing, that never in twenty years has the financial condition of the country been so bad as it is to-day? Why, Sir, the explanation is easy. It is because we are importing such a vast quantity of goods into this country as compared with what we are exporting, it is because our merchants, our retail traders, and generally the people of the country, are paying into the treasury of Canada millions upon millions of dollars which have been taken out of their hard earnings and because we are sending abroad only about one-half of the goods which we are importing. That is one reason.


Mr. MEIGHEN:: How would you correct it?


William Pugsley: Get larger markets, call back the hon. Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. Foster) from the mission upon which he is engaged in seeking to negotiate a treaty with the distant, overseas dominion of Australia, which will be of comparatively little importance, and send him down to Washington to negotiate a permanent treaty under which the people of Canada will know that they can produce as much as they please, and, as far as natural products are concerned, there will be in the United States a market for their products. If reciprocity had been passed we would

not have seen the depression in this country which we see to-day.


John Hampden Burnham: Does the hon. gentleman realise that last year we imported more natural products from the United States than we exported to the United States?


William Pugsley: What does that prove? That proves nothing at all. It proves that in certain sections of the country, where the circumstances suit our people best they can get certain products in from the United States, tropical fruits, among others, which our people are beginning to use in large quantities and many farm products cheaper than we can produce them at home while in other sections of the country, as my hon. friend ought to know from his observations of affairs in Canada, the United States will afford to our people a market which will be of enormous advantage. Look to the prairies of the West to-day, and this is one of the reasons why there is this depression in business which is affecting the East as well as the West; the price of wheat today in western Canada is ten cents per bushel less than it was when the Liberal party were turned out of office.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: Will the hon. gentleman allow me to ask him a question?


Arthur Meighen: Is the hon. gentleman aware-


William Pugsley: One at a time, please.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


William Pugsley: I thin'k I saw my hon. friend from Lincoln (Mr. Lancaster) first.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: I just want to understand the hon. gentleman's argument? Will he express the same degree of satisfaction with the verdict of the people on the naval question as he expressed at the verdict of the people on reciprocity?


William Pugsley: Yes, I am always satisfied with the verdict of the people.


Edward Arthur Lancaster: I do not think you are, from your argument.


William Pugsley: The verdict of the people is the judgment to which we all must look and by which we should all be guided and therefore we should be satisfied with it. Whether we win or lose, we should regard the voice of the people as the voice of God. Therefore, I would like to see an appeal to the country to-morrow. I have a right, in view of what the Senate has determined by its resolution, and in view of the importance of having the people of the country come to an early decision upon the naval question, which all parties will accept and upon which they will act, I have a right as one representing a very important con-Mr. PUGSLEY.
stituency in this country to demand of the Government-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


William Pugsley: And I do demand of
the Government in the name of the people of my constituency-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


William Pugsley: -I demand of the Government that at the earliest possible lament they shall take steps necessary to ascertain what is the voice of the people upon this important question.


An hon. MEMBER:: It is four o'clock.


William Pugsley: No, it is not quite four o'clock yet. With regard to an election, I see my genial friend the hon. member for Kings and Albert (Mr. Fowler) in his place; he is not so often here as I would like. I see the hon. member for Calgary (Mr. Bennett) in his place. They both knew, in his lifetime, a very eloquent and much respected gentleman who once represented the city of St. John in this Parliament. I refer . to the late Mr. 0. N. Skinner, and they will remember that-


Mr. BOYCE:: He was on both sides, like the hon. gentleman.


William Pugsley: That is very small talk to interject into a discussion of this kind. It is not worthy of my hon. friend. It is his custom of indulging in small talk of that kind that has damaged the chances of my hon. friend's chances of becoming Solicitor General in the Government. I remember well that the gentleman to whom I refer said on one occasion that an election, accompanied with the proper number of arguments-arguments, I may say, such as the Conservative party, with so many wealthy sources to draw from, know so well how to use-were as good as two buckwheat crops to the people of the country. I have no doubt that the Conservative party, if they go to an election upon this naval question, even if they could have a fifth of the ammunition which they used during the reciprocity campaign in 1911,. would be able to spread considerable financial prosperity throughout the country from the Atlantic to the Pacific.


Richard Bedford Bennett: I gathered
from the hon. gentleman's observations regarding the effect of an election upon the prosperity of the country that in response to the invitation, a dollar per head has been very general.


William Pugsley: I am glad that my
hon. friend has mentioned that, because it gives publicity to the appeal which the Liberals of New Brunswick, and it is confined to New Brunswick, are making to out friends to assist even in a small

way and, even where this mode will be acceptable, towards providing the necessary means for the distribution of literature and giving the people information upon this important question when the election does come on. We have no great, no wealthy corporation to which to look. We are not so fortunate as my hon. friend from Calgary, who has been .so prosperous as that he can afford to throw $10,000 or $20,000 away in order to. be a representative of the people in this House. We are not associated with any wealthy corporations or great trusts, and therefore we have to rely upon the common people of tine country to assist us in fighting our battles. But six, when the election does come, what a magnificent cause will it be for which we shall have to fight! It will be a contest as between those who want to turn backward the wheels of progress, between those who are saying to the world that the people of Canada are an inferior people, that they occupy in the Empire a status below that occupied by people in the Motherland and Australia,


Richard Bedford Bennett: And New
Zealand,


William Pugsley: -and Australia, the
great overseas dominion whose example I see the hon. Minister of Trade and Commerce, now out in Australia, said that Canada would soon be proud to follow-it will be a contest against those who claim that the people of Canada aTe inferior to the people of the rest of the Empire and the men who are proud of the natm-e of Canadians and who believe that a man born in Canada is as good as any two people in any other portion of the Empire. It will be a condition, so far as we are concerned, in favour of building up in Canada a strong and self-reliant people, a people who feel not only that they can build a navy, but that they can find the men to man it and the money to pay for the ships and the men. We have got the money; we have got the men, and we can build the shipyards which will enable us to build a navy. After I became Minister of Public Works-and it is not so long ago -I went on a visit to the West. I stopped at Port Arthur. I turned the first sod for the dry-dock and shipbuilding plant which was established on the northwestern shores of lake Superior. Notwithstanding the short time which has elapsed since then, notwithstanding the fact that hitherto the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and other owners of steamship lines have thought necessary to have their steamers built in the Motherland, only the other day there was turned out in that shipyard in Port Arthur one of the finest and most complete passenger vessels on the great lakes, a vessel built of steel, fitted up in magnificent style and a tribute to the skill and energy of Canadian workmen.
I want to have one parting and friendly word with my hon. friend the Minister of Marine and Fisheries (Mr. Hazen) before we go to our homes. Let me say to him that it is a thousand pities that, when he came into his office and found on the files of his department that tender from Cammed, Laird and Company, that great shipbuilding firm whose works spread over a mile and a half on the Mersey river in England, that tender to build ten warships to form the commencement of a Canadian navy, when he found there an offer to create a ship-building plant, to bring over, if necessary, skilled workmen who would make their homes in Canada and who would teach our people to do the work which they do so well-it is a thousand pities that my hon. friend, having that opportunity to commence the building up a Canadian navy and to establish a great ship-building industry in Canada, yielded to the demands of the Nationalists, gave himself as a sacrifice to that unholy alliance between the Conservatives and the Nationalists, and that he sent back that tender and abandoned the idea of a Canadian navy. It was not because my hon. friend was not without influence; it was not because he was without ability; it was not because he was obliged to say to my right hon. friend the Prime Minister and my hon. friend the Minister of Public Works that he was without influence and that he would have to yield to their powerful voice. My hon. friend was strong enough, big enough and occupied a sufficiently great position in this country to have warranted him in saying to his colleagues: I cannot do this thing that you ask of me. The late Government has left this tender there; it is deposited as a legacy for me to deal with; I have got to deal with it in the interests of my country, and I am going to ask you, my colleagues, to award the contract to this firm. Had that beeen done, we would have had to-day several war vessels under construction in this country. We would have had a Canadian navy well under way. We would have had not merely hundreds of men; we might have had two or three thousand men recruited from the Mother Country and making their homes here.

After which His Excellency the Administrator was pleased to close the Second Session of the Twelfth Parliament of the Dominion with the following
SPEECH:
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
In relieving you from further attendance in Parliament after a protracted session, I; thank you for the assiduity with which you have devoted yourselves to the important subjects that have been submitted for your consideration. It is satisfactory to note that your labours have resulted in many beneficial measures.
The Act granting aild for the advancement of agricultural instruction should ensure the co-operation of the provinces with the Dominion in securing for the people a more thorough and comprehensive knowledge of Amprov ed methods by which this great industry may be carried on with greater advantage not only to the producer but to the community at large.
In renewing the charters of the Banks for another period of ten years the Bank Act has received careful and thorough consideration; and important amendments have been adopted providing more effcient safeguards for the protection of both depositors and shareholders.
The adhesion of Canada to the Treaty of of Commerce and Navigation between ' the United Kingdom and the Empire of Japan v if®? accomplished under conditions which should tend to promote friendly relations and increased commercial intercourse between the two countries.
Provision has been made for the establishment of a parcel post, the need for -which has been long felt; and it cannot be doubted that the facilities thus afforded will be greatly-appreciated throughout the Dominion.
The trade agreement between Canada and certain of the-West Indian colonies has now been brought into force, and it is confidently expected that trade and intercourse between: these portions of the Empire will be thereby stimulated and promoted.
The amendments made to the Criminal Code khould materially aid the necessary efforts to stamp out evils against which legislation has been recently directed in many! countries.
In wise recognition of the importance of transportation aid has bqen granted whidh should ensure the speedy completion of the transcontinental railways now under construction. The increasing volume of production and commerce is already taxing the capacity of existing transportation lines in all parts of Canada.
Among other important subjects which are receiving effective and well merited attention are the provision of further terminal elevators in the western provinces the equipment of national, ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific and _ the construction of dry docks of sufficient size to accommodate the largest ocean-going steamships.
The arrangement which has been consummated for a more speedy and more frequent mail service from Canadian ports to those of the Uniteti Kingdom has doubtless commended itself to your approval and will be hailed with satisfaction by the people Y.ou will be glad to know that the trade of Canada during the fiscal year just completed has largely surpassed that of any previous year. Immigration still flows to our shores in abundant measure, the revenues continue to expand and there is satisfactory evidence of development and progress in all parts of the Dominion.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I thank you for the Liberal provision which you have made for the increasing neeWs of the public service.
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate: Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I trust that on your return to your homes you will find abundant evidence that the coming harvest will be bountiful, thus assuring for another year the prosperity which Canada happily enjoys.
I
