Anti-Police Answered ‘ In Legislature By The Attorney General

Opposition Members Are, Chal- lenged To Drop Petty Criticism Of Law Enforcement Officers And Shoot Squarely At Gov- ernment Target, Since Politics Is Their Aim;__

Preiacing a scathing reply to Opposition abuse and ‘

criticism oi the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in ‘the Legislature on Tuesday evening with an exposure of the

political nature of the campaign, Hon. H. F. MacPhee, Attorney General, last speaker in the Draft Address de- bate, produced from his desk a clipping of the Patriot newspaper of April 13, 1932, and read therefrom the follow-

THE curries CLASSIFIED

‘ “m. the outset," the Attorney General declared when the laughter and applause had subsid ‘. “I do nor. suggest for one moment that the Mounted Police soc perfect. We do not get perfection in this vale of tears, and the Mounted Police are just human and liable to err. like the rest of us. But there are certain classes of persons who are

to them in principle.

"There are. first of all, theboot- leggers. That clam is bitterly op- posed to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; they would much prefer that we did not have them here. You have only to look about. at those who were active in the pro- fession all through the years of the

~ r That Liberal Appointee

"My lion. friend complains, how- ever, that on one occasion the Pol- ice did not. get their man. If he is thinking of, the man that I am thinking of, I quite agree with him. That gentleman, I believe, was a. member of‘ the Provincial Police. There was a. conviction for boot- legging against him, and a com- mitment outstanding. He is still at; large, but not in this Province.”

Mr. LoPage: “There was nothing

me say this: Freedom of speech in this House is u necessary thing. but , I do not think it should bo extend-

ed to the point where any member

can rho and make statements oi, that nature about men who are not

here to defend themselves. (Apq lalause.) I have sought to show that . such statements, once made, are‘ applicable to every Commission that i has been appointed to discharge its; functions under the Prohibition

Act.

“For example, we once had a Commission composed of clergy- men,—all clergymen. I have not the figures here, but I dare say that sales were fairly large during that time. If they were larger than we find in other years, the member from Rustico, is saying. in effect, that those clerggymen were the big- gest bootleggers of them all! I wculdrrt think of making such a statement as that; I am citing it ls the logical conclusion oi the hon.

ha!" ‘mcmbrrfs statement: and I urn en-l

Hon. Mr. MacPhce: “They would associate themselves every time with the leader of the Opposition, the member from Rustieo, and the mem- ber irom Tignish in their criticism." (Laughter)

“Then we have another class, that the member from O'l.ea.ry. in his remarks which I have quoted, referred to. Those are the people who try to ‘choke the Government.’ They didn't try that with us. but I

rcnlly think they are attempting to,

choke the Opposition, or they are filling the Opposition with words that nearly choked them when they try to get rid oi thorn." (Laughter)

And so we have three classes of critics to deal with in regard to the activities of the ounted Police. We have the rnembg on the other side of this House; we have the boctleggers: and we have the dis- appointed oiflce seekers. The mem- ber from Rustico finds himself in that goodly company." (Laughter)

“BIGGEST BOOTLEGGERS" Mr. IoPagc: “What class is the

clergyman in?" Hon. Mr. MacPhee: "I will come

to the class that the member from, Rustlco puts the clergymen in. Per- l Mclntyre)—a new" haps Ihad better deal with it now, since the question has been raised. has cations that he was going to spring;

Hon. Mr. MacPhee: “I am not saying that he didnlt measure up to the standard of what my hon. “friend required oi the Provincial Police. He may have been a. shining star of the force my hon. friend established."

lvh. IePage: “It was after you discharged him."

Hon. Mr. MaoPhee: “My hon. friend seems quite sure that be was not in the bootlegging business then. Perhaps when he applied for his job the hon. member warned him: ‘We know you are in the business but while you are on the Force we want you to keep off it." (‘Laugh- tor).

“I "Bret that my hon. friend wavered there was ‘foul play’ of any kind in connection with the Ramsay case.

Mr. Lea: member said that."

Hon. Mr. MacPliee: “If he didn't any it to him he should have n-id it." (Applause). -

Ontario d: Quebec

Continuing, Mr. MucPhce said it had been claimed that Ontario and Quebec were “dlsgusted" with the Mounted Police. "I stand to be cor- rected," he added. "but I did not know they had the Mounted Po- lioo as their police in those prov- inccs. I understand that Ontario and Quebec both have their own provincial police forces."

Mr. T. A. Campbell: “It might be wise."

Hon. Mr. MacFhee: "But why should they be ‘disgusted’ with the Mounted Police when it is not their force? Perhaps it is true th!!!

there had been a considerable change from last session in the Op- position line of attack on the Mounted Police. “Up to that time. the member from Rustico being the ‘apcstlecf righteousness,‘ always led the attack.

‘THE ENFORCEMENT PROBLEM

\ "My lion. friends have modified their criticism to this extent," con- tinued Mr. MacPhee; "they say the IvfounledPolice might be all right to enforce the general laws which they an: flccusiomed L0 enforce. but they are not the proper people to enforce the Prohibition law. I sub- mit that the difference betw. the enforcement of the two laws lies not in that at all. If you have a competent, trained police force, it. is as good in one capacity as ~it is in the other. But I B-Kme that "there is u difference. The differ- ence is that in the wcmfllt 0f the other iuws you get the net-Ive co-opcratlon oi all the people in the community. If there is a case of theft or robbery, the people come forward at cncc and give all . the information they may have, In ‘the case of prohibition offences, that is not true to the same e!- tent.

"Ir. is very apparent, even from the reports read in this House. that those who are most insistent about prohibition enforcement are anxious that they should not be brought into the matter in the roll oi ‘informers’. When an offense oo- ours that the people regard as l. crime, you do not get that opposi- tion. And, of courneLio the gust matlon received from third - sons that the law officers have to depend.

A Mischievous Insimutlon

"Why frw hcm. friend should make any comparison with this other case, where some bones were found at East Point, I do not lmow, but because the in? uation has been thrown out and because the public mind might be unsettled at the suggestion that. there was foul play into which an investigation had not been made. I deem it proper to give this information. I may add, icr my hon. friend's fur- ther information, that the reports of the Coroner and the Police who investigated this matter are available to him in my office at any time he wishes to inspect them, so that his mind may be set at rest." (Applause).

Many Letters Received

“With regard to the work of the Mounted Police generally. 1 may say that I, as well as the Inspect- or oi Police, have received letters of commendation of their conduct in the enforcement, not only oi the Prohibition law but oi all the laws of the Province. We have let- ters on file, for example, from prominent persons in Rustico- temperance workers, clergymen, and others, praising tho Mounted Police for the splendid work they are doing that community." (Applause). “The member shakes his head? I mu be pleased, if the hon. gentleman wishes it, to sub- mit the list of names to

m. LePage: "You will have lots out there who will condemn them."

Hon. Mr. MacPhee: “My hon. friend might he able to get a lmull following." (Laughter). “The lame is true of the leader cf the Opposi- tion. From his hart of the com- munity we have received numer-

Mr. Lea: “I know, all right, what took place.” ‘

WHEN CRITIC! DIS AGRII

Hon. Mk. MacPhee: “I may say that we have received complaints with regard to the Mounted Police. and those complaints tend in a good many cases hi the other di- rection. That is to soy. that these young men are over- ' - cipally in the nutter of enforcing the highway and prohibition laws. Now, Mr. Speaker, when you find, on the one hand, criticism that these people are too enthusiastic for law enforcement, and another- body of critics saying that they are a little lax in law enforcement, you may reasonably strike the mean and conclude that they are just doing _as well as they can under the circumstances." (Applause).

ELECTION PLEDGES ~ CONTRAST!!!)

It. has been suggested by the Opposition that because we ap- pealed to the coimtry on a plat- form oi Government Control in 1927, we an therefore improper persons to administer the Prohi- bition llw of ‘this Province. Is that criticism reasonable? The people who elected‘ us to office in 1931 knew just what we did in 1921.‘ (Applause). “In 102‘? we went to the people and told them the situ- ation: namely, that with the re- sources humanly available to the Departuient- of Justice. you can- notexpecttogetloopercantsn- forcemcnh The members on the other sidg on s Prohibition plat- form, certainly did not get‘ loo per cent enforce " We, even with the splendid force now available, are not getting 100 per cent. But we told the people that, frankly: and the difference between us and the‘ mofnbeneon the other aide is that we made no such promises ‘m. nnmwr . ment as they did in 1921; and their record with regard to pro- hibition eniorcement must be meas ' by the promise: they made." (Applause).

“The memberfrcmOIeai-y," (Mr. Dennis) "in dealing with the Mounted Police confined himself to quoting the statute to show that the Police were under the control of the Attorney General, and therefore it was not the Police but the Attorney General whom they should attack.

CHALLENGES OPPOSITION

“The mom“ from Uheary is perfectly right. It is the position which, last year, I pointed out to the House should be taken. We all know that much of what is said by the Opposition is for the pur- pose of currying favor with the el- ectorate, to get book into power. Let them confine their criticism, then. to the Government. As At- torney General, I know that no matter bow efficient and com-net- ent a force I might otherwise have at my disposal, I would be serious- ly handicapped without the and experience available to me in the Mounted Police.

“To my hon. friends opposite‘! would say this: Do u the member from 01ieary suggests! Instead of directing criticism at theilifounted Police, who, I mggqt, n; “m; their very beat-direct it at the Dwlrie whom yeu- want to attack. The member from Perfectly fight, but it was un-
