Tom Reid (Lib. New Westmin- steir)._ speaking in the continued throne speech debate, said control of food prices should be taken from the Prices Board and placed under Agriculture Minister Gardiner, as food Minister.

Lt.-Col. Arthur Ross (Prog. Con. Sourls) said establishment of a separate food ministry was long overdue, and that he was disap-

Earlier Gordon Gruydoh Pro- gressive Conservative House Lead- er, had asked whether the Gov- eminent would indicate whether a food ministry is planned, and Prime Minister MucKenzie King said the Administration's policy would be made known in due course.

Evening speakers were Rev. Daniel McIvor (Lib Fort William). G. K. Fraser, (Prog. Con. iteterborough West) and Clarence Gillis (C.C.F' Cape Breton South).

Mr. McIvor lauded the work of Labor Minister Mitchell and said Prime Minister Mackenzie‘ King had made no mistake in choosing him for the portfolio.

Mr. Fraser said members of the House and “the press" were not al- lowed to criticize the Government's war effort because tllcy would be told they were hammerlns efforts for victory.

Mr. Gillls said that unless the Governments policy were adjusted,
