VAnd I made this solemn decora- tion conscientiously believing 1t tn be true and knowing that it is of the some force and effect as if mndc undcr oath and by Virtue of the Canada Evidence Act.

ThLs was proicstxwl by the do- minion office of the Cnnivtzn

of Agriculture:

I now enclose statutory declara- tions from Charles McLeod and Edward P. Donnelly proclaiming their innocence in respect to piilit-

icai partisanship. and would ask you to be kind enough to give the ‘ situation youri very careful con-- siderntion. It is sincerely hoped‘ that your ccmmunicstzon of Sep- tember 9th (loos not indicate that nothing further can be done in be- half of those men except on the floor of the house.

As was pointed out previously our understanding is that govern- ment pOilCy docs not permit rc- tnrncd soldiers to be treated in

l. 1936. for evactly the same reason. and I have on the file the letters directed to the Minister of Agriculture with regard to this case. The following lcttcr. dated July 30. 1936. is addressed to Hon. J. G. Gardiner. Minister of Agri- culture. Ottawa:

It will be necessary". therefore, for you i0 advise there mCn of their dismissal as fmm September 1st, 1936, and at the same time to collect their inspection stamps and

Mr. SINCLAIR: May I 95k the hon. member a question? Why did he not bring these things up when Doctor Grant was here?

i I

Mr. MaoNEIL: I endeavoured to make it clear. as I assured my hon. friend that I am not offering; any criticism of Doctor Grant. I am saying that this illustrates a pro- cedure which should now be aban- doned. I am bringing these matt- ers to the attention of the govern- ment and asking that ex-servicc

Mr. POWER: Assuming he docs take part in politics—-I um not discussing the facts of this case. of which I know nothing—a mining

an ex-service man who ihreuzh his

preference obtains a. position in the civil service afterwards takes part in politics. should he not be

dismissed the same as any other

civil servant? Is that the argument my hon. friend is making? Mr. MacNEISL: I am well aware

tooled. I am suggesting that these men were innocent. They wrre not granted a trial: they were dismiss- ed under a procedure which is un- fair and vicious in its application because it denies to men n fnir opportunity of establishing their

Mr. MacNE-IL: Oh, no. But may I remind the minister that the reports of the commission specifically re- quests that cx-serviceimen be not dismissed-

Mr. POWER: With that section of the report I disagree. I wont to be quite frank with the committee. First of all. any ex-service man rc- eeivcs a preference in respect of getting into the civil service. I ren- tend, and I want to make it quite plain. for I stated my views even during the election to a gathering

dulges in political activities. and i; subject to the same penalty as any other civil servant. Mr. BENNEIT: That is what the hon. member says. . Pawfi Thyt is Lhg only

point I wish to make. As to the case 1l’l Prince Edward Island, I know xiothing at all about it, and I would much prefer to have my hon. zricnd bring it up when the Minister of Agriculture is on his own estimates, and not on a matter of this kind.

Mr. MncNEILL: Mny I refer again to the recommendation of the vctranls assistance commission:

That in order to set an ex- ample to private business firms. the government agree not to dismiss

domeanour. and a dismissal might be justified. But no misdemeanour was proved in these cases. and l am citing these four cases to fli- ustrate the necessity of implement- ing this recommendation.

Mr. SINCLAIR! HOW was it that during tlic term of the last govern- ment returned soldiers were dis- missed in Prince Eklwnrd Island? Docs the hon. member know that?

Mr. DOUGLAS: Two wrongs do

the one case they wore justified and in the other thcy were not.

Mr. SWCLAIR: 'I‘hcy were not justified in the other case.

Mr. BENNETT: These men dc- nicd it under oath.

Mr. SINCLAIR: The right hon.

charge. They had the same chance as those men.

Mr. MacNEIIL: I may inform my hon. friend that I have no knowledge of what took place pre- viously. I arm confining my re- marks to these four traces as illus- trating a procedure which I con- sider unfair, and especially unfair to the four men. wihose cases are before mo. who gave excellent ser- vice overseas. who have given faithful service to this country. and have been denied a hearing.

In this particular case u tale. gram was placed on file from Charlottetown. addressed to Major R. L. wheeler. Ottawa:

A letter has been placed on file confirming that telegram.

Again. I find on file a letter from the domlnign command of the Ca- nadian legion drawing to the at- tention of the Minister of Agri- culture the nbrvious injustice of this procedure. The most important of

state as follows:

1. That I have been employ“! 88 fruit and vcgciniole inspector un- der iihc Fruit. Vegetable and Hon- oy Act since 1991.

2. I received a letter dated the 27th day of August, AD. i938. from

after Ailmtill; 31st. A.D. 1938.

3. I inquired of Mr. Shaw as to tre reason for my oitsmissal and he informed me that Dr. '1'. V. Grant. MP. of Montague. had laid a charge against rne that I had been guilty of political partisan- ship-

4. Since I was appointed in- specter as aforesaid I have not taken any part at all in political matters and have not even attend- ed a political meeting of any ldnd since my appointment. and I can soy that 1' positively have not been

the particulars of the charge laYd against me by Dr. Grant but since I have not taken any port at all in polit‘cs I can only say that the charge is unfounded.

tlon ccliscientiously believing it to be true and knowing that it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath by virtue of the Canada Evidence Act.

The same procedure was employ- ed wlth regard to Edward E. Jay, who worked each season from i924 until his permanent appointment. and then continuously to dismiss- al. The date of the appointment was ocwber a1. 1924. and he was dismissed September 1, i998. In this case a similar letter was for-

of political partisanship at the last federal election. and I recommend thairhe be dismissed from the ser- vice. Yours respectfully, Thos. V. Grant. MP. for Kings.
