Regulations Of New Board To Come Un- der Parliamentary Scrutiny. _

(0. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

OTTAWA. Rb 12.--A Parlia- mentary investigation into regula- tions of the new Wheat Board re- lating to night-sales was announced in the House of Commons today by trade minister Euler after it was requested by Ccnsrvative leader Bennett. It likely will take in more ground than night-sales or pro- tection for short traders when fin-

ally constituted.

The address debate continued in the House today with indications it may go on for days. possibly a week. It was scheduled to end last night but T. C. Douglas (C. C. ilk, Weyburn) took the door and his

_‘ seemed to be inviting to many others.

The trade minister confined his speech to s general defence of the government's actions in dismissing John I. Mcllhrland and his two con- freres from the wheat board and initiating a policy cf selling, rather than hoarding.

“This government believes," Mr.

Euler- said, "in\ the policy of stead- ily offering wh'\*.t at competitive prices and cleaning the bins as far as possible at fair prices-that does not mean fire sale priees—bei'oro the new crop comes in." - Undu- the MoFarland regime. Mr. Euler said. the surplus wheat hold- ings mounted from 137,000,000 to 303,000,000 bushels. In the last 9 1-2 weeks of the McFarland board sales totalled 13,500,000 bushels and in (Le first six weeks of the Murray board. $500,000 bushels.

There was nothing personal in MoFarlands dismissal, the minister said and he was given the oppor- tunlty first of retiring. The govern- ment, however, did not believe in his policies.

The new board, Mr. Euler said, made new, temporary arrangements to encourage wheat ssles and pro- tect night sales (these are sales made when the Winnipeg Exchange is closed and Ihirwflan buyers are at work due to the difference in

times).

"ii-ls previous board did that too." interjected finance minister Dunning.

' y did not do it in the same way." retorted 1dr. Benn .

"On occasions, yes," persisted Mr.

Dunning. “They did not, do it in flee some

"If the leader of the opposition."

‘ ‘ hi1‘. Euler, "sees anything sinister or wrong in the action of the board, I invite him to ask for an investigation by a rnlllliliflnt- ary committee and I will Buarantee he will receive it promptly."

"I intended to ask for it.” re-

, m.

"it is all right then. you will get it," agreed the minister.

Hon. H. H. Stevens, who led the Reconstruction forces in the last election and sits as the only "Pf!!- entative of that party in Parlia- ment, pleaded with the House to put politics aside. He urged a un- ited front on the problems of the day, particularly that parliament stand as a referee "between un- scrupulous individuals and corpor- ations and those who sufler as a result."

The Roccastructionist urged Par- liament-stand between the farmer. who has no control over his prieel. and those who fir them. Regard should be given for human rislltl and not always 17109011! or con- tract rilhts.

Upper llouse Gloses Debate

(C. P. By Guudiani Special Wire).

GITAWA. Feb. 12—'I‘he Senate wasted no time today in debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. The Upper House concluded this part of its business in two sittings. Begun. last night by Hon. W. A. Buchanan of Leth- bridge, it wound up this afternoon, with Hon. J. J. Hughes, Prince Ed- ward Island, closing the debate. The Chamber then adopted the ad- dress without a. division.

Only five speakers participated in the discussion, thc others being Rt. Hon. Arthur Melghcn, Conservative leader, Hon. Raoul Dandurand, government leader, and Hon. Jules- Fdouard Prevost of St. Jerome.

Disposing of the address. the Senate paid tribute to the memory of the late Senator Charles Mur- phy. The dead legislator was char- acterized by Mr. Dandurarld as a. political fighter who was able to carry on "a relentless vendetta, but was yet possessed cf a. sweet dis- position.”

Sees Movement For Secession Growing In The illaritimes

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

MONTREAL, Feb. l2 -‘"i‘he whole trend in tile Maritime-s 1-8 crystallizing to secession," Wil- ‘liam Rand of Canning, N. 5., Sec- retary of the "Nova Scotla. Party," said in an interview here today. The party, he said, stood for sec- cesslon.

It was the only way out of the flmpflggg, Mr. Rand said. “Our Nova Scotla. trade is with the world, not up here at all, and we have been put under an economic blockade by Canada. We cannot send our vessels down the coast without paying a pirates ransom to the Dominion Government."

The move to allow Canada to amend its own constitution was looked upon in the Maritimes, Mr. Rand said, as a move to cut off their last hope of redress. Now tho Maritimes could appeal to the Crown but if the PIE-Semi D18" W" effective the provinces would be vassals oi Ontario and Quebec.

"We cannot get the central provinces to realise that we are a Maritime people," Mr. Rand con- tlnued. "We can no longer toler- ate their dictatorship of our do- mestic affairs. We are willing to cooperate in such matters as pos- tal service, defence and so on. but in commercial affairs we split."

MAGDALEN AIR MAIL — Mrs. J. E. Arscnault was flown yesterday from her home at Grindstone, in the ice-bordered Magdalene Islands, to Charlottetown, where she will enter hospital. The Canadian Alr- ways plane which played the part of an ambulance for the trip was piloted by H. S. Jones. Onthe crossing to the Magdalenes it car- ried 300 pounds of mail t: the iso. lated residents of the tiny gulf

‘ ‘ements. A passenger from En- try Island to Charlottetown was Mr. D. K. McLean. He made the flightytc visit his father, Mr. Hec- tor McLean, who lies ill in hospital. Mr. Hector McLean was brought here January 9th on a mercy flight by the Canadian Airways plane. He underwent a serious operation in the Prince Edward Island Hospital.

GUESTS OF ST. ELIZABETIPS AID-Yesterday afternoon the children of Si. Vincent's Orphan- age were guests of St. Elizabeth's Aid Society at the Holy Name Hail. The children were taken to town through the kindness of Mr. Hank Honnessey. and arrived at the Hall about 2 o'clock. During the afternoon the boys had full sway of the hall and, needless to say, thoroughly enjoyed themselves. playing games etc. At 5 o'clock they sat down to a splendid sup- Per which was served by the lad- ies of St. Elizabeth's Aid through the generosity of the citizens of Charlottetown. Tile action of the Aid is a praiscwortliy one, and one. it l; hoped, will be continued in the future.

FURTHER INFORMATION-The first trip of the airplane from Mag- dalen Islands on January 9th was notable by reason of the departure of Mr. John H. McLean, popularly known as "Peppy" of Entry Island for the Charlottetown Hospital. En- try Island is composed of about 60 families, of whom Old John, as he is called, is the principal citizen. He has raised 15 children. He is the father of Mr. Daniel K, McLean, lighthouse keeper of that place. Three of his boys joined the navy during the Great War. This vener- able old man was seriously ill, and this led the members of his family to seek the services of an airplane to transport him to a hospital where he could receive expert care and nursing. As a. result, that daring aviator. Jvnei. 0i the Canadian Air- ways, Charlctteiown, hurried over from Prince Edward island to take Mr. McLean to thc hospital. Pilot Jones succeeded in landing in a field within a short distance from the lighthouse, and taxied almost to Old John's very door-step.

KELLYS CROSS HIGH SPOTS --This parish will welcome cordially among its ” , Mr. and Mrs. David Roberts, Kinkcra, who, in a few days, take up their residence on the farm owned and occupied by the late John F. McQuaid, recently purchased-Kelly's Cross now en- joys a. very satisfactory telephone service, the old line erected in 1902 under the zealous and progressive pastor, the late Rov. D. B. Reid, having fallen into a tumbled-down condition, as the present pastor, Rev. J. C. Pltre, with the co-opera- tlon of the people under the super- vision of Mr. William Kelly, Char- lottetown, erected during the past autumn a practically new line. No more complaints heard now.-—-An- other sign of prosperity having turned the comer (but in this case it stands on the corner) may be seen in the newly establi-bed mer- cantile business recentl on ned on the site of the old Bradl. store. by Mr, John P. Carraghcr. This is one of our returned soldiers, having gone through the entire conflict at the front (1014-1018). We wish Mr. Camgher a nice share of success.- Thcir friends regret to a ncunce that Mrs. Philip Smith, Brookvale,
