HOUSE OF COMMONS-Monday June Is
The house having, on the motion of Mr. Wes-
tern,- resolved itself into a comuttee of the
whole house on the act OF 1922 on the corn laws
The honorable member brought forward resolu
non Tor repeating the suspension clause of the act
and Tor allowing the provisions Of that act to
come into operation. MIR. Canning in opposing
the resolution which had been propored, animsd-
ver'ed, at considerable length, on the subject OF
tie election OF the Germ bill in the House OF Lords
and The douot and uncertainty in which it had in
voived the traee in corn. He did not think that
any man would be found to deuy that The circun,,
stances of'be country, and he of public feel
ing, were such az TO render some new proposition
on the subject OF this most important branch of
the national interests absolutely necessary. His
object was TO 10 immediate and practical
6 'od Tor the country, and, as time enough would
remain Tor the discussion of the principles on which
The loTner bill was regulated, he was anxious to
! originate measure which should be free from
any pec1iiariy likely to occasion It's Condemnation
elsewhere. His second object was 10 do nothing
beyond what was Necessary to meet the existia z,
circumstances, since no could doubt. alter
what had taken place, that this subject must una
voidably receive renewed and mature discussion
in the course Of next session. The third Tpoint
when he would reserve, out of regard for the
credit and honour of that house, was that What
ever did, it should adhsre.to the spirit AID prn-
ciples upon which il had heretofore legisialed-
There were now in the ports Of this county a.
bout, 800 .OO0 quarters Of foreign corn The first
measure which he meant 10 propose was, that thi-
accumulation OF foreign corn should be lie, GU, of
bond, not By any act of the Government, but I'M
der the operation and conditions of the bill now in
the other house. To that part of the bill which
elates 10 the letting out of bonded corn there had
been opposition; any objection - bich had been
raised had reference only TO corn TO be imported
hereafter. lie would, therefore enact, that the
quantity OF ioreiga corn now in Warehouse or
which shall be warehoused before the Ist of july
next, which would make The whole amount aboui
600 600 quarters should be lsl out under the re,u-
Ia'ion, as to price and duty established by the lsle
bill, as if that bill had passed. The only other
proposition which he had offer related TO corn
small in quantity, but which It would be great
injustice to look upon in different light from, that
which was actually ia bond; he meant that which
was 10 be transmitted from Canada, 10 this
country, in The confidence that the bill would have
passed, and foI which bills were drawn by tie
parties. IL would be hardship of the cruelest a.
tiTe to impose restrictions with regard TO corn 30
situated, 10 regard it otherwise than as already
imported. These were all the propositions which
bis M.jesty's Government consider ed It necessa-
~ t. bling forward: First, the letting loose Inc

principle Of the bill; and, secondly admitting uD 10
