party hoped the "mess" would be cleaned up and Mr. Currie asked to make a "thorough inquiry into the organization and administra- tion of the whole Defence Depart- ment." P

Committee chairman 'Davld Croll (L.-Toronto Spadina) plun- ged the committee questioning in- to the hot parts of the Currie re- port in the last no minutes of the meeting and got these replies from the author:

I. It was Mr. Currie who was solely responsible for taking but a phrase which brought officials "at or near the top" under I. criticism of indifference to administration and a war-type attitude of putting speed ahead of cost. He decided it would be better to refer to offic- ials "higher-up" because this "more clearly expressed my on- inion." He had no specific indiv- iduals in ad.

2. His finding of "a general breakdown" in administration, supervision and accounting ap- plied only to the works services.- the one branch he was asked to in- vestigatc-"and to other personnel in the Department of National Defence" charged with: responsi- billty for supervising that branch.

3. Virtually every recommends- tion and proposal he made in his report was discussed earlier with Defence Headquarters during the seven-months inquiry and many were implemented.

The committee had plodded through Mr. Currle's recommend atlons for strengthening the works services and was showing signs of running out of questions when Mr. Croll said he would "go where angels fear to tread."

t

Re Famous Memo

He read the famous memo in which Lt.-Gen. G.G. simonds. chief of the general staff. took ex- ception to those parts of the re- port which speak of an indiffer- ence to administration and a speed-before-coet attitude. The general had asked that Mr. Cur-' rie clarify whether he was speak- ing of the whole army or Just one branch.

Mr. Croll said: "Mr. Currie. YOU have referred to a general break- down" and asked whether the re- ference was to the Works aervlca or the whole army.

Mr. Currie replied:

"I was reporting on the Army works services and my remarks here'are intended to apply to that organization I certainly was not condemning the whole army. ." Mr. Croll then read Commom' references to the uec of the term "higher up" and a statement by Prime Minister at. Liurent that no government official had ever euggested to Mr. Currie that this phrasing should be used inetoad of "st. or near the top."

The advance draft which came into the hands of the, COP, oi the phrase "st or near the to ." Mr. St Laurent said other change! were suggested by Mr. Currie by the defence department but not. that one.

' . only one Iuwrt: Mr. Curtis agreed with Mr. Oroll that "there was only one Currie report" andconfirmed that he had once ousldered using "at or near

Carpenters Union Meets

-The regular meeting of Local 2260 United Brotherhood of Car- pentcrs - and , Joiners of America was held in the Town Hall, Bum- nierside, last evening.

Several new members were ad-, mltted to the union at this meet- ing which was addressed by the preeidentpur. Allison Horne, and the secretary. Mr. Kenneth Mac- Millan '

Mr. Macmillan spoke on the various functions of a. labor union.

Mr. Home. in his remarks. said the interest in union organization indicated that it would be neces- sary to expand and enlarge the membership to take care of those in other centers that were desir- ous of having organization.

In referring to dutiu and priv- ileges of union membership, Mr. Home said he believed that strikes were unnecessary and as foolish as war. He said that rather than strike it was much more desir- able to meet together with employ- era and settle any differences by mutual tfnderstanding.-S.

question. but a" lot of very small boys with ankles inclined to drape along the ice are having a lot of fun in any case.
