M.J.

terests and those of the United Nations. - Solon Low. Social Credit leader.

to contribute her strength to en.

Mr, Green suggested a. commit-- toe similar to those in the United States Congress. Mr. Caldwell sug- gested a non-partisan committee} which would be a mixed commit- tee of civilians and military men.

“Before the recent war we had too little discussion in this House. and certainly too little discussion before any committees of this House. regarding the necessities with which the country was then faced.“ said Mr. Caldwell.

"That I think was particularly true after Munich. May I remind the House that Munich was hailed by most of the people of this coun- try as a great step towards univer- sal peace. It was at that time that I was jolted into believing that war was coming, but we in this House did not give the attention m the policies behind the naval, military and air forces estimates which I think should have been given. nor did we give attention to the external policies which were likely. to make arranllernents neces- sary.

'War Measures

"Has the government made up its mind as to whether the war is ended. and whether the War Measures Act is still operative? John Dlefenbaker, Progressive Con. servatfve member for Lake Centre asked in the House of Commons this afternoon.

On receiving an affirmative ans- wet from Finance Minister Ilsley and Justice Minister St. Laurent. Mr. Diefenbaker oornnlented that the government apparently differ- ed from officers of the Canadian Bar Association on this D01!"- The Bar Association. he said. had recommended that a proclamation be issued, declaring that the war with Germany and Japan was over.

Mr. Diefenbaker strongly criti- sized the principle of govern. merit policy on rationing and con-' trols being announced outside of|

Parliament while Parliament was in session. He called attention of the

House to the announcement from Vancouver, Prices Board chairman as to what the government was going to do in respect to ration- ing and controls for the coming l8. months. This sort of thing mlghtl be endured by a nation at wan, he said. but certainly not by a- nation at peace.
