SOLDIERS' CIVIL RE-ESTABLISHMENT AMENDMENT ACT.

Mr. SPEAKER:: I beg to inform the
House that I have received a message from the Senate informing this House that the Senate has passed Bill No. 10 to amend the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment Act with amendments.


Hon. J. A. CALDER:: With the consent of the House, I would like to make a motion with reference to the printing of the Report of the Special Committee on Bill No. 10. The House has already ordered some 3,000 copies of that report but I understand they have all gone and there is a very considerable demand for further copies. If the House consents I would move, seconded by Mr. Sifton:

That the report of the Special Committee on Bill No. 10, an Act to amend the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment Act, the minutes of their proceedings and the evidence taken by them and presented to the House on the 31st October together with a suitable index to be prepared by the Clerk of the Committee, be printed in the Appendix to the Journals of the present session.	...
That 1 000 extra copies in English and 250 extra copies in French of the said report minutes proceedings and evidence, and 50 000 copies in English and 10,000 copies in French of the said report be printed forthwith for distribution, and that Rule 74 thereto be suspended in relation.


Mr. FRANK CAHILL (Pontiac):: Does the minister expect to distribute these extra copies among the returned soldiers?


James Alexander Calder: Many members of the
House have expressed a desire to have extra copies-in some cases as many as 1,G00-of this report, and even if they are each limited to two or three hundred copies, the 50,000 copies asked for will not go very
far.


Mr. D. D. McKENZIE:: Do I understand these proceedings are to appear in a separate volume, or will they form part of the Journals of the House?


James Alexander Calder: The idea is that the report itself and all the proceedings, including the evidence, shall be embodied in the Journals of the House. In addition to that the extra copies provided for in the resolution are to be printed.


Hon. W. L. MACKENZIE KING:: How does the minister intend to make distribution of these reports? Will regard be had to the different constituencies of the Dominion, or has he any particular form of distribution in mind?


James Alexander Calder: I should think a regulation should be made allotting a certain number to each member. After the demands of members of the House have been met, the distribution could be made in any way deemed advisable by the officials who have it in charge. I think a certain number of copies should be at the disposal of members of the House for a certain length of time and after they have been exhausted the distribution office, or whatever official may be supervising the matter should distribute the remainder.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: It is intended then to print the report and the evidence in a sep-aiate volume?


James Alexander Calder: Yes.


Mr. J. A. ROBB (Chateauguay-Hunting-dcn):: I suppose it is well understood that 
when the report does go out it will not be padded in any way, for instance, by incorporating with it the speeches of hon. gentlemen who spoke in favour of making a grant of extra gratuities, and of referring the report back to the committee.


James Alexander Calder: The motion speaks for
itself.

2.	Is the Minister of Public Works aware of the fact that these wharves require repairs and many of them have been in a bad state of repair for over a year?

Hon. Mr. SIFTON:: 1.	Bayswater, 1917; Earles, 1914; Gunters, 1909; Iron Bound Cove, 1910; Maugerville, 1909; Oromocto (2), 1904-1909; Rothesay, 1909; Heustis Landing, 1915; Fredericton, 1914; Hatfield Point, 1915; Long Point, 1916; McAllisters, 1910; Renforth, 1916; Whites Bluff, 1915.

REGISTERED MAIL.
Mr. STEVENS:: 1.	Have instructions been given to postmasters, that in future they may discontinue entering the name and address of the persons to whom registered mail is addressed, in the certificate of registration given to the sender when the registered article is posted?
2.	If so what is the reason?
3.	Have many complaints been made to the department by public concerns or private citizens to the new order?
4.	Has the department considered the desirability of returning to the former practice of inserting name and address on the certificate?


Hon. Mr. BURRELL:: 1.	Yes.
2.	It was found that although the work of filling in the name and address in the certificates of registration was being undertaken by the post office, and in this way five million such forme were filled in each year at city post offices, the records show that in not more than one out of forty thousand cases was the form ever used, as the registration system is so complete that rot more than one out of forty thousand registered articles is lost. It followed that a great deal of work was being done by the post office and no useful purpose was being served, as the name and address appear in the post office records, and may be obtained if needed upon inquiry at the post office. Moreover, the sender has the option of inserting them in the certificate of registration should he desire to do so for the purpose of identifying the form with records of his own. A great saving of labour was therefore effected, and the work at registration wickets reduced, and unnecessary crowding, delay and1 inconvenience to the public done away with.

9.	What department is in control of such cable or cables, and who are the employees connected therewith in this country and outside of this country, respectively?
10.	Have any messages, from ministers of the Crown or under their direction, such messages paid. by the public treasury or sent free of charge, been transmitted through submarine cable belonging partly or wholly to the Canadian people, said messages having something to do directly or indirectly, with the soldiers' votes overseas and also the return to this country of officers and soldiers before demobilization took place?
11.	If so, from whom did such messages come, and to whom have they been addressed?


Hon. Mr. BURRELL:: No information.

INQUIRIES AS TO QUESTIONS NOT ANSWERED.

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
['I have not received any more complaints; but when the hon. member brought this matter to my attention, I sent telegrams to the Canadian National railways and the Canadian Railway War Board. I shall likely receive replies during the day, and I will at once communicate them to the hon. member.']
Mr. J. E. ARMSTRONG (Lambton, E.):: Might I ask that the answer to question No. 6 be sent in by the Government at their
earliest convenience?


Mr. H. A. MACKIE (Edmonton):: I would like to ask what is the meaning of saying that a question "stands," when no answer is given by the Government? Does it mean that this session's questions will be answered next session?


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: If a question on the
Order Paper is not answered it lapses at the close of the session.


Henry Arthur Mackie: That is what I thought, Mr. Speaker; but on account of what occurred last year I would like to call attention to the fact that question No. 5 standing in my name has been on the Order Paper since October 23 last.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: In that connection, Mr. Speaker, I do not see why it is impossible for the Government to bring down answers to a great many of these questions. One or two of them I think I could answer myself with the knowledge I have of the facts. The information requested in these questions is no doubt quite reasonable, and it seems to me that it might just as well be understood now that when the House meets again, whether it be in January or February, any questions that have not been answered this session will be put on the 'Order Paper. Perhaps between no w and the next two or three months ministers may have an opportunity to obtain the required information and present the answers when the House sits again.


Charles Joseph Doherty: If any of these questions are urgent I will be very glad to see that as soon as the information is gathered it shall be furnished, to the members in whose names the questions 'stand. Of course, as to the intimation that those questions will be asked again next session, that is a dire threat and



we will have to brace up our courage to meet. it.


Mr. J. A. CURRIE (Simcoe North):: Might.I ask that question No. 12 standing in iny name be treated as an order for return?	.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Might I suggest to the leader of the Government that if he would consent to make all the questions now remaining on the Order Paper orders for returns, then the work of gathering the information could proceed and the results could be sent to hon. members in due course. It would not involve any more labour to answer those questions as orders for returns, and it would save the necessity of again placing them on the Order Paper next session.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I have no substantial objection to adopting my hon. friend's suggestion if any useful purpose will be served; but it does seem to me that all practical purposes will be served if answers are sent to the members who ask the questions, and I have no objection to undertake to request my colleagues who are concerned to see that that is done, and I will also undertake to do so in respect to my own department.


Frank S. Cahill: Sometimes other members are interested in the questions.


Charles Joseph Doherty: If an hon. member receives an answer he can give it to the public.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Of course, we have
passed the stage when orders for returns can be had, but it seems to me that at this period of the session there can be no objection to our facilitating hon. members as much as possible. The hon. member for Simcoe (Mr. Currie) requests that question No. 12 be passed as an- order for return. It will be so entered in the record.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: It is understood that answers will be sent to the members in whose names the questions stand?


Charles Joseph Doherty: That will be done as far as possible.	.



[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. JOHN HAROLD (Brant):: May I ask what is the policy of the Government in connection with the purchasing of supplies? Do they purpose to continue such purchas-

ing through the War Purchasing Commission? And is it the intention to bring in a Bill similar to that dropped last session, to consolidate the purchasing?


Charles Joseph Doherty: The purchasing at the present time is being carried on through the Purchasing Commission. As to the question of bringing in a Bill next session, that would depend upon whether legislation be considered necessary in order to continue the present system. I cannot give any decided answer as to what action may be taken in that regard.


MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE.
Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I have the honour to
inform the House that a message has been received from the Senate:
That a special committee of the Senate composed of the Honourable Sir James Dougheed. the Honourable Messieurs Bostock, Ross (Middleton) and Belcourt, be appointed for the purpose of conferring with the Honourable Members of the House of Commons in order that all Bills which purport to amend any Act of Parliament upon being submitted for first reading shall have printed therein in full and in italics, in English and French, the section or sections purported to be amended.


DATE OF NEXT SESSION.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. F. L, DAVIS (Neepawa): May I ask the Government if they can give us any information as to when the next session will be called? I understand a round robin was signed by hon. members, and rumours are circulating, that the next session may open in January or March.
Charles Joseph Doherty: It would be quite impossible at the present time to announce when the next session would be called. We cannot judge what the requirements of the future will be.


Air. E. LAPOINTE:: Not before the New Year.


Frank S. Cahill: Does the Government intend to buy any more railways?
Mr. JEAN J. DENIS (Joliette):	While
on this subject, may I ask the Government if they realize the great inconvenience of having the House of Commons in session during the summer, and if they are making it a point to avoid that as much as possible in the future?


Charles Joseph Doherty: The Government fully realizes the inconvenience, and ' shares, I have no doubt, the general desire to avoid inconvenience whenever possible.


Mr. MAHARG:: As the hon. member who is leading the House seems to be somewhat reluctant to express his opinion as to the date of the calling of the next session, may I ask whether it is the intention of the Government to comply as far as possible with the opinion almost unanimously expressed by hon. members in a petition asking that the Government summon the next session as early in the year as possible?


Charles Joseph Doherty: No such petition has yet reached us; at least, none has come to my knowledge. The Government desires to meet as far as possible the unanimous wish of members of the House or the wish of any number of hon. members. But I think hon. members must realize the impossibility of our announcing to-day the date of the calling of the next session.


SPECIAL IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Ernest Lapointe: May I ask whether the Government has heard of any step being taken for the summoning of the special Imperial Conference which is to consider the constitutional relations of the Empire?


Charles Joseph Doherty: I am not aware that any special step has been taken to summon that conference.


Ernest Lapointe: Would it not be advisable for the Government to suggest to the British authorities a postponement of the summoning of that conference until there is in charge of the affairs of this country a Government which is in harmony with public opinion?


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Order. The hon. member is taking advantage of his privilege on the Orders of-the Day. If there is one rule which is well established it is that the action of the Government is in no case to be called in question.


Ernest Lapointe: It is merely a suggestion.


Charles Joseph Doherty: The hon. member has furnished a most conclusive reason for the greatest possible haste in summoning that conference.


ADMIRAL JELLICOE AND THE GOVERNMENT'S NAVAL POLICY.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Ernest Lapointe: The newspapers this morning say that Admiral Jellicoe has reached the shores of Canada and that he
had been invited to Ottawa to confer with the Government about their naval policy. May I inquire whether a naval policy has already been settled upon by the Government and if it is proposed to submit that policy to the admiral for his approval, or whether the admiral will come here to suggest a policy? I think we are entitled to some information as to what is proposed to be done.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Any policy that is
to be adopted will be settled upon by the Government of this country, and for approval the Government will look to the Parliament of Canada. The advice of an officer of such great distinction as Admiral Jellicoe would undoubtedly be valued and most welcome to this Government, but the settling of policies rests with the Government of Canada and the approval of policies rests with the Parliament of Canada.


Ernest Lapointe: Do I understand; then, that no naval policy has actually been adopted by the Government?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Just as soon as the Government shall have adopted a policy it will be pleased to communicate that policy to Parliament and to the people of Canada.


THE PRIME MINISTER'S HEALTH.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
William Lyon Mackenzie King: I
should like to say to the acting leader of the Government-there may not be another opportunity of doing so-that hon. members on this side, with, I am sure, hon. gentlemen opposite, regret the absence of the Prime Minister during the greater part of this session on account of illness. Can the hon. gentleman give us any information as to the state of the Prime Minister's health and his progress toward recovery? I am sure that we would all like to have some information with regard to that before the House prorogues.


Charles Joseph Doherty: We are glad to be able to say that our information is that the Right Hon. Prime Minister is gaining in strength and that we may hope for his perfect recovery. Exactly when we may hope to have him back I am not in a position to say at the present moment.


SOLDIERS' CIVIL RE-ESTABLISHMENT.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Mr. J. F. Fafard (L'lslet) : Considering1 the request made by our returned soldiers that a gratuity be granted them towards their civil, re-
[Stage Direction]
establishment, I have much pleasure in enquiring from the Government whether it would not be preferable to favour them with such remittances instead of distributing to them pamphlets containing the speeches delivered by hon. members in this House.
Edgar Nelson Rhodes: As I understand it, the hon. member's question is one which in any case ought not to be put upon the Orders of the Day, because it involves a matter of policy.


SHORTAGE OF RAILWAY OARS.
[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day:
Hon. J. D. REID (Minister of Railways):: With further reference to the shortage of cars on Canadian railways, I had the Canadian Railway War Board meet on Saturday and take the matter up. They have wired me as follows:
Referring further your telegram yesterday. Several reports which have reached you with respect to car shortage as referred to therein dealt with at meeting this board to-day. As to coal situation Canadian Pacific state full supply of cars at all mines on their line. Canadian National railways had excess supply of cars at mines they serve until twentieth ultimo when there was slight shortage which existed for few days only. Since that time no shortage reported. Average daily shipments commercial coal from Canadian National mines since November 1st seven thousand tons and at same rate of shipment for balance of month, total shipments during November will be double those of corresponding month last year. Would point out that despite warnings issued repeatedly by Government and this board coal shipments early part of season were greatly under amount shipped last year with result that total shipments from April 1st last to present time are only fifty per cent of quantity shipped during same period last year. This apparently due to failure of dealers to place orders and to short hours worked at mines account labour troubles. Total tonnage commercial coal shipped from western mines April 1st to August 31st, 1919, was 332,977 tons as compared with 1,703,792 tons same period 1918. Since September 1st this year shipments total 544,495 tons as against 534,200 tons same period last year. As to stock car situation, improved delivery of empty oars from American roads within past few days has greatly improved condition and with continued prompt return of Canadian equipment sent to St. Paul and Chicago railways will he enabled to handle heavy live stock traffic. Administrative sub-committee of this hoard at Winnipeg has been directed to confer at once with Mr. Stewart of Wheat Board with view to determining what is actual reason for movement of wheat being less than desired by Wheat Board and to take what action may be necessary in so far as railways are responsible to meet situation. Regret board has no information available as to stocks of commercial coal stored in various parts of country, but understand fuel controller assembling this date with respect to movement coal from Canadian mines as mentioned in later portion your message. Assume this has particular reference

to movement from Nova Scotia to Ontario. In absence of definite information as to what additional requirements may he placed on railways in this connection either as to territory or volume to be handled, it is difficult to give specific report. Railways are prepared however to move coal from Maritime Provinces to inferior to capacity of equipment made available by release of cars to seaboard with export freight.
I might say, in reference to the last part of that telegram, that I asked the Canadian Railway War Board what the situation be in case we had to bring coal from the Maritime or t'he western Provinces to the interior provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and that is why they mention the question of bringing coal from Nova Scotia or the West in case there was a shortage in the interior provinces.


Mr. SHAW:: Has the Minister of Railways had any more complaints regarding the Canadian National railways in the west refusing to give cars to parties wishing to ship hay to Canadian Pacific points, and if so, what is being done to remedy the situation?


John Dowsley Reid: I have not received any more complaints; but when the hon. member brought this matter to my attention, I sent telegrams to the Canadian National railways and the Canadian Railway War Board. I shall likely receive replies during the day, and I will at once communicate them to the hon. member.



WAYS AND MEANS-THE SUPPLY BILL.

On the motion of Mr. Doherty for the third reading of the Bill:
["It is necessary to pass this resolution first, and then a Supply Bill 'based on this resolution will be introduced."]
Mr. DENIS:: Before this Bill is read the third time, I should like to be informed whether it is not customary to have these Bills printed and distributed amongst the members before they are passed.


Charles Joseph Doherty: As far as my experience goes, I do not think I can recall a time when the proceedings were stopped to. permit of distributing a Bill of this kind, because there is absolutely nothing in the Bill except Supply that has already been dealt with, and we are quite in accord with the usual practice in what we are doing.


Jean-Joseph Denis: I quite understand that the Bill is to give effect to the resolution which lias just been passed; but it seems extraordinary to me that the Bill should be passed through the House without the members having any knowledge of its contents or without being physically able to have the Bill in their hands in order to see what there is in it. I am not opposing the Bill at all.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I may say for the information of the hon. member that the Bill is printed and is probably available for distribution; but it is almost impossible at this stage to supend the proceedings in order to have a Bill of this kind distributed, as is the case with other Bills during the session.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: This will be my only
opportunity of asking the Minister of Immigration and Colonization (Mr. Calder), something about the distribution of part of the money that is included in this Bill. I think he gave a general answer as to the methods by which the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment would distribute it, but it would be well to have some proper machinery or system established in each province. There should be in each province a board to which proper instructions have been given as to how the money is to be handled. Taking my province, for instance, I suppose what would be good practice there would be good practice in the other provinces. As regards
Nova Scotia, what board is the minister going to establish and where is it to be established for the purpose of dealing with the distribution of this money amongst soldiers and their widows and every other person who is entitled to this money; with the idea that the same rule that will be established there will apply to each of the other provinces?


James Alexander Calder: II can only speak offhand at the present time, because no decision has been reached. There has not been an opportunity to consider the question as to the nature of the machinery that should be provided., but, as I said the other night, it seems to me that it is possible that new machinery will have to be established. I think that some one acting on behalf of the Government should take charge of the expenditure of the moneys appropriated for necessitous cases arising out of unemployment, and that necessary rules and regulations should be laid down as to the distribution of that money, the conditions under which it will be paid, the amount that will be payable to any one person, the length of time during which it shall be paid, and so forth. We shall have to have a central authority acting for the whole of Canada. I can conceive that it will be necessary to have in each province a small board of not more than three for the whole province, and there is just a possibility that we shall be able to get this work accomplished within a period of four or five months. In addition to the provincial boards, I think it will also be necessary to have local boards. For instance, in the province of Ontario, say, there may be an unemployment situation in Toronto, Hamilton, Peterborough, or elsewhere, and it will be essential to have local boards under the provincial board's to look into this work. We should very clearly establish by Order in Council the rules and regulations under which this money will be made available; and that the whole thing should be under one central authority for the Dominion there can be no doubt. We have not had time so far to consider the matter in its details. I should like to consult some of the soldier organizations regarding the best plan that should be devised to deal with the problem, and the opportunity is not by any means exhausted for carrying on these consultations.


John Archibald Maharg: Does the minister think that the legislation which has been enacted is sufficiently elastic to permit of dealing with the subject in a broad and. generous manner? The hon. minister, if I understood

liim correctly, himself suggested when we were in committee that some verbal change might be made in the Bill in order to render it somewhat more elastic, and from that view I gathered that he was of the opinion that there might be some modification.


James Alexander Calder: Under the Act creating the department, the Government can assign to that department the care or treatment of any returned man in any way it sees fit. The Bill is very broad in its terms, and any duties which the Governor in Council desires to assign to the minister of the department can be assigned under the Bill. As to whether the appropriation is sufficiently wide to deal with all forms of re-establishment is questionable. On the other hand, however, the department itself has certain appropriations out of which expenditures can be made, and I think there will be sufficient money to tide us over until the end of this fiscal year. If there is not, an urgent necessity exists for carrying out -certain features of this work, and from what was said the other night, I am sure Parliament would agree to our getting a warrant for whatever expenditures might be necessary in that regard. That is, of course, if the appropriations prove inadequate.



[Stage Direction]
Hon. J. A. CALDER (Minister of Immigration and Colonization) moved the second reading of the amendments made by the Senate to Bill No. 10, to amend the Department of Soldiers' Civil Re-establishment Act.
He said: It will be remembered that when this Bill was in committee in the House certain amendments were suggested, and they have been carried into the Bill by the Senate. Ip the original Bill, clause (h) of sub-section 2 reads:
For imposing penalties recoverable upon summary conviction for the violation of any provision of any such regulation.
It was suggested that a maximum penalty should be inserted, and the Bill has been altered to read:
For imposing penalties not exceeding in any case a fine of two hundred dollars or imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months enforceable upon summary conviction for the violation of any provision of any such regulation.
It is proposed that the department have power to make regulations in i-eference 
to certain work and that they also have power to impose penalties for infraction of those regulations. The provision as it now stands limits the penalties to not more than two hundred dollars or three months' imprisonment. Then it was suggested by the leader of the Opposition that any regulations made under this Act should be sub-' mitted to Parliament within fifteen days, and accordingly there is added a sub-clause (i) for the purpose:
All regulations made hereunder approved by the Governor in Council shall be laid before Parliament within fifteen days after they are made, if Parliament is then sitting, and, if not, within fifteen days after the opening of the next session of Parliament.
In reference to 6ub-elause (b) of subsection 2, referring to the appointment of technical and special officers, a proviso is added by the Senate to this effect:
Provided, however, that the rules and regulations referred to shall contain such proper pro visions as are necessary to have such appointments from time to time as required certified by the Civil Service Commission.
Mr. McMASTER:: "Certified" seems a strange word.


James Alexander Calder: That is the term that is used. All appointments must be certified by the commission.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I daresay it is too late to .make any changes in this Bill now, but it seems to me that sub-clause (h) added by the Senate, fixing a maximum fine of two hundred dollars or imprisonment not to exceed three months, is rather an incongruous provision. I would suggest to the Minister of Justice that there is palpably a discrepancy in proportion between two hundred dollars and three months. The common criminal law says that -the limit of a fine is not to exceed twenty dollars or three months, which seems to be a fair proportion. To give the magistrate power of imposing a fine of two hundred dollars with an alternative of three months' imprisonment is not fair. He has, of course, the power to impose a fine of a dollar and upwards, but he can impose the maximum. If I may say so, I should like to see a more sensible ratio fixed between the fine and the imprisonment, and I would suggest that "not- to exceed ?50 or three months' imprisonment" would meet the case.


Charles Joseph Doherty: No doubt it seems
that the fine and imprisonment are not evenly balanced. When the matter was before the House I suggested a fine of two hundred dollars or imprisonment of six

months. The reasons which have led the gentlemen in the other House to reduce the term of imprisonment to, three months I am not aware of, but I do not know that the clause is so framed as to call upon us to disagree with them in the matter. Probably three months would be adequate for both of these offences that are contemplated or, perhaps, at all events, not inadequate.
Amendment concurred in.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: What business does the leader of the Government propose to go on with?


Charles Joseph Doherty: There are certain Bills before the Senate that we expect to come back to us but as they have not yet arrived perhaps we might suspend the sitting until three o'clock.


Andrew Ross McMaster: When does the leader of the Government expect that Parliament will be prorogued.


Charles Joseph Doherty: It is expected that His Excellency will come down to prorogue the House at half past four o'clock this afternoon.
The House took recess.
After Recess.
The House resumed at three o'clock.


REPORTS AND PAPERS.
[Stage Direction]
Relating to the extension for a further period of five years of the Arbitration Agreement between Great Britain and Italy.- Hon. Mr. Doherty.
Regarding the classification of the permanent employees of the House of Commons of all grades.-Hon. Mr. Burrell.

Mr. JOSEPH ARCHAMBAULT (Chambly-Verclieres):: I would like to draw the attention of the Government to the fact that certain Orders for Returns which I moved quite a while ago have not yet been brought down. I refer to an Order of the 18th September regarding the Siberian Expedition, and another of the 29th September relating to the military hospital at Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue. I might also call the attention of the House to the fact that a return passed on the 20th October asking for a list of the Grand Trunk shareholders, is not yet forthcoming. Although this list might have been more interesting before the Act providing for the acquisition of the Grand Trunk railway was passed, the necessity
still exists for that information, and I hope the Government will see that the list is forthcoming without further delay.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I shall endeavour to
have the preparation of all these returns expedited. In regard to the last subject to which the hon. gentleman has referred, it will be readily understood that a list such as he asked for is not a thing that can be obtained between to-day and to-morrow; the stockholders of a company like the Grand Trunk are liable to change at any moment. However, I shall ask that all possible expedition be made in securing the most correct list available.


Martin Burrell: If the hon. gentleman will send over to me a memorandum of the returns he requires, I will see that their preparation is expedited.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I declare the sitting suspended until four o'clock.
At four o'clock the House resumed.


THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
Ernest Lapointe: Mr. Speaker, would I be in order now in referring to the matter that I was prevented from discussing this morning?


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I am sure that under the circumstances the House will grant the hon. member for Quebec East every indulgence.


Ernest Lapointe: I wish to avail myself of the opportunity, Mr. Speaker, to impress on the House the importance of the question I raised this morning. We were told during this session by the Right Honourable the Prime Minister (Sir Robert Borden) and also by the Honourable the President of the Privy Council (Mr. Rowell), that in the near future a very important special Imperial Conference is to be held for the purpose of discussing and settling the future policy of the Empire so far as the relations of its component parts are concerned. Every one realizes that this matter is of the utmost concern to the people of Canada. Their national status, their destinies, and their honour will be discussed and may be decided at this eventful gathering. Therefore, Sir, I submit that the Government which is to be entrusted with the duty of representing our national interests at this most important meeting should be in harmony with public opinion and should have the support of at least a considerable portion of

our people. I do not wish to be disagreeable, but I think it is admitted by everyone that the present Government and even this present Parliament do not represent public opinion.


Mr. SHEARD:: No, no.


Ernest Lapointe: There is no doubt that this Government has not the support of a large portion of the people.
Under such circumstances there cannot be between the ruling power and the governed that confidence and good will which are necessary for the efficient administration of the country, especially when such important matters as the one I have referred to are to be considered and decide: . Friends of the Government in the press and elsewhere admit the situation, but they say: Perhaps the Opposition is not favoured with any more support. That remains to be seen. As far as I am concerned, I would not be afraid to go back to the people of Quebec East, and I think I can fairly claim that I represent their views on the floor of this House. And I think I can make the same claim for all my hon. friends on this side of the House.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: No, no.
Mr. E. LAPOINTE- I do not know any one on this side of the House who would not be returned by his constituents in the event of a general election.


Mr. H. M. MOWAT (Parkdale):: I would like to ask the hon. gentleman whether he represents the United Farmers of Quebec in making his pungent remarks.


Ernest Lapointe: Mr. Speaker, the
United Farmers of Quebec are behind the Liberal party because the Liberal party is behind them. Quebec Liberals have stood by the farmers, and the farmers know that.


Some hon. MEMBER:: What about Ontario?


Ernest Lapointe: Not one of my hon. friends on this side of the House woi Id be afraid to go back to his constituents for re-election. How many members o1 the other side would dare make a similar venture? Even if it were true that tl^a Opposition is not any more favoured by the public than is the Government, that would not weaken the force of my argument. On the contrary, it is a formal admission that the House of Commons of Canada as at present constituted does not represent the public opinion of the country, does not fairly represent or express the ideas and

opinions and aspirations of the Canadian people. I ask the Government to put an end to this dangerous condition of things; I ask them not to force themselves any longer upon an unwilling people, but to- go to the country, appeal to the electors and harm a House of Commons which will represent fairly and properly the people of Canada. If I were in order, Mr. Speaker, I would move that the Government resign.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Before making reply to the pathetic appeal of the hon. member (Mr. E. Lapointe), I desire to say just one word of warning by way of breaking news that may bring palpitation Jo the hearts of a great-many of our friends on the other side. After listening to this pathetic appeal, and in view particularly of the implicit confidence that we all have that the hon. member has the implicit confidence he claims to have in the confidence which the people of the , Dominion repose in him and his colleagues, one could not do less than say that so pathetic an appeal deserves the most careful and thoughtful consideration. I venture to say

and I know it will create a feeling of grave anxiety on the part of many gentlemen sitting on the other side as to how long they may continue to sit there-I venture to say that that appeal will receive the most careful consideration which can possibly be given to it by the Government.
The hon. gentleman, I may add, is very apprehensive of a Government being in power at the time of the 'Conference that is expected which would not possess the confidence of the people of Canada. May II remind him that it has. already been stated that when the Conference does come about, in virtue of its importance, it would be thought proper to ask representatives not only of one side of this House to form part of the delegation which will represent Canada. As the hon. member has announced himself as the one member of this House who undoubtedly possesses the confidence of his constituents, perhaps he may look forward with hope to the probability of his being there, to make quite sure that just what the people of Canada think will be voiced in that gathering.


John Archibald Maharg: I remind the hon. gentleman who is leading the House that there are three sides to this House now.


Charles Joseph Doherty: Well, we all recognize that it is in the middle way that virtue stands, and we will try to remember virtue, too.

Mr. McMAiSTER: As virtue has been voting consistently with the Government, I cannot blame the gentleman who so amiably leads the House this afternoon for forgetting about the third party.


Mr. LAFORTUNE:: As a farmer, Mr. Speaker, I may have a chance to go.


Mr. MORPHY (North Perth) (translation) :: Mr. Speaker, it is difficult for me to reply in French to the hon. member for Quebec East (Mr. Lapointe) upon the subject which he has brought before this House. The hon. member says that the people of Canada lack confidence in the present Administration. I believe that the best way to settle that question is to take a vote immediately upon the question in the House when I shall be perfectly satisfied to abide by the result.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


John Archibald Maharg: I would suggest that the hon. gentleman give us that in English so that we may have an opportunity of laughing as well.


Hugh Boulton Morphy: I said in French that it was difficult for me to reply in French to the hon. member for Quebec East (Mr. E. Lapointe) upon the subject which he has brought before the Chamber. He says that the people of Canada have not confidence in the present Government. I believe that the best way to prove that question is to take a vote immediately upon the question in the House when 1 shall be perfectly satisfied with the result.


Ernest Lapointe: It is not an impartial forum.


INTOXICATING LIQUORS.
[Stage Direction]
Air. C. J. DOHERTY (Alinister of Justice) moved concurrence in the Senate amendments to Bill No. 27, to amend an Act in aid of provincial legislation prohibiting the sale or use of intoxicating liquors. He said: The principal amendment consists in adding to the Bill a provision that its provisions shall not be deemed to prohibit the selling or causing to be sold, or the manufacture or importation into any province of any intoxicating liquor for sacramental or medicinal purposes, or the manufacture for commercial purposes other than the manufacture for use thereof as a beverage. The intention was never to strike at liquor except for use as a beverage.
Air. DEVLIN:: The question arose in the United States as to whether the prohibition
of the importation of intoxicating liquor for use as a beverage excluded its importation for bathing and other purposes. Can the minister express any opinion regarding the advisability or otherwise of making an exception in regard to the use of intoxicating liquor for bathing purposes?


Charles Joseph Doherty: Really, I had not contemplated the bathing question. We have heard of some one having been drowned in a butt of Alalmsey, but I am not aware that the question of bathing in . intoxicating liquor has arisen in connection with the prohibition laws of Canada. It is a somewhat remote theory.
.1 Alotion agreed to, and Senate amendments concurred in.

" In the name of the Commons, I present to Your Excellency the following Bill:

"To which Bill I humbly request Your Excellency's' assent."
To this Bill the Clerk of the Senate, by *command of His Excellency the Governor General did thereupon say:
"In His Majesty's name, His Excellency the Governor General thanks his loyal subjects, accepts their benevolence, and assents to these Bills,"
After which His Excellency the Governor General was pleased to close the Third Session of the Thirteenth Parliament of the Dominion of Canada, with the following speech:
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
In relieving you from further attendance on this session, I thank you for the diligence and efficiency with which you have discharged your duties.
. Measures of great significance and importance have engaged your attention.
The Treaty of Peace concluded by the Allied and Associated Powers with Germany and signed at Versailles on the 28th June, 1919, and the Treaty of Peace between the same Powers and the Republic of Austria, signed at St. Germain-en-Laye on the 10th September, 1919, have been presented to you and have received your approval.
These Treaties having now been approved by Germany and Austria, on the one hand, and by at least three of the Allied and Associated Powers on the other hand, await only the exchange of ratifications to enter into full force and effect.
I fervently trust that the provisions of these Treaties, marking as they do the termination of hostilities, may usher in for humanity an era in which great wars may be prevented and the blessings of world peace effectually secured.
Canada bore a large part in the operations of the war and contributed notably to its successful completion, and it is therefore gratifying to be able to note the distinguished position accorded to her in the conduct of the negotiations in the Peace Conference at Paris.
The visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to Canada has been a source of deep and wide-spread satisfaction. The universal welcome which has been extended to him is an evidence of the devotion of the Canadian people to the Throne and to British institutions. This welcome, so whole-hearted in character, is an undoubted tribute to the high personal character and qualities of His Royal Highness, who, in peace as in war, has closely identified himself with Canada, and shown his earnest desire to promote the welfare of the people of this Dominion.
The acquisition of the Grand Trunk properties and their addition to the existing national railways will materially promote the successful and economic administration of the whole system, and greatly aid in the solution of the important problems of Canadian transport.
The adoption of the report of the Committee of the House of Commons On Bill No. 10 will extend the scope and application of the important measures already * taken for meeting the needs of returned soldiers and their dependents.
The adoption of the Classification of the Civil Service of Canada will make it possible for the Commission to proceed at once with the further organization of the Service.
The success which has greeted the inauguration of the Victory Loan is a tribute to the patriotism and organizing capacity of Canadian business men, and fully demonstrates the determination and readiness of the country to fulfil its obligations to its soldiers, maintain the credit of Canada, and strengthen its trade position.
In a survey of the economic and social conditions throughout the world, it is satisfactory to note that Canada's position compares favourably with that of any other country and is far more favourable than most. With the accordant action of labour and capital, aided as it has been by the Industrial Conference lately held, and with the continued application of our people to productive pursuits, acc.om-
.NOVEMBER 10, 1919
panied by rigid adherence to thrift and saving, we can face the coming years of reconstruction and adjustment with hopeful confidence.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I thank you for the provisions made for the public service along the lines of reconstruction and aid for the returned soldiers.
Honourable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I devoutly pray that Almighty God may incline our minds to sane and prudent counsels, may inspire all our people with the will to work and to save, and continue the blessings of peace and prosperity within our borders.
