The Parliamentary correspondent of Reuters News Agency "said it ivas understood that the company will be a permanent organism, not only a wartime expedient. It will be seine time before maximum re- sults are achieved, he said, but it ihvilflipfld ihat the company's oper- ations '\Viil increase general trade re aliens with the Balkans. riiisii trade in southeastern Europe has been affected in re- cent years by German competi- tion, the correspondent said. Ger- many has paid good prices, in Rel smarks, for Balkan produce, but the Daiiubian countries were forced in return to purchase from Germany, and buy the merchandise Berlin ivanted to sell. With Ger- man industry now absorbed by the Reich's own ivartime needs. it was believed that London will be able to make profitable overtures to- ward winning the Balkans over to British manufactures and litmpire raw products.

The Government-financed com- pony will be in a position to help other British concerns both iin- snciaiiy and by- supplyin infor- mation raga potentia mar- kets. Govemmen 111E115 call for close cooperation with the export council headed by Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, president of the Board of Trade.

to the last of the resolution, "and to establish and declare that R. Reginald Bell is the Councillor duly elected for the said district.“

This amendment was defeated on astraight party vole,

"After further discussion the fol- lowing amendment was moved by MI. McKa .

“That the resolution be amend- ed by adding to the end thereof the following: and that such bill provide for the confirming of the return of the writ of election of Councillor for the Second District of Queen's County and declare the said Councillor's seat vacant since the 12th day of September i939."

Against strong opposition ob- jection. Mr. McKay’): amendment was put to a vote, and carried on the same division.

Premier Campbell spoke to his resolution re the Second District dispute and the discussion ivhich followed was entered into by Mr. McPheefiDr, MacMiiian. Mr. Mac- Kay, Mr. Iiinkletier. Mr Saviile, Mr, Robinson, Mr. MacKinnon, Mr. Mustard. Hon. Mr. McIntyre, and Hon. Mr. McGuigan.

Dangerous Precedent

Mr. McPhee pointed out that it would be a dangerous precedent ‘for the House to legislate a man into a seat or out of one. He sug- gcsted that the appellant be ad- vised to withdraw his appeal and

felt that this would be the best resort,

He said that the stalemate in the oouris suggested by the Premier did not mean that the Courts could not finally decide the matter.

Belief was expressed by the speaker that where there was a divided Court the appeal should be dismissed and the order of the Chief Justice to the Judge of the County Court be carried out.

Premier Campbell said it was contended that the order of the Clizief Justice could not be carried ou

Mr McPhee said this statement coming from the Premier was an extraordinary one and added that “it has been suggested that the Judge of the County Court would not obey the order."

Premier Campbell in reply said, "Not, that he wouldn't but couldn't." He added that the Judge couldn't find the ballots as they had been placed in with the gen- eral ballots.

Mr. McPhee cited precedents of former members ring elected to the House on rccc..‘.ts.

Premier Campbell said that the Court of Appeal refused to set doivn the appeal or dismiss ii.

Dr. MacMlllan said the matter would be laughable if it were not so serious and adder! that the judgment of the Chief Justice had not been disputed and they were proposing by legislation to wipe it

u

o . Premier Campbell rep‘ied that

his proposal was that the House

should deal with the matter.

Dr MacMillan answered that it was quite apparent what the solu- tlou would be "Von made up your minds that the scat is going to be declared vacant," he said.

Evidence of irregularities

He added that there had ‘been "evidence of great irregularities throughout t.‘ ese’ election recounts." He cited two cases: one where a Judge tirrcw tlie counter-foils out and gave the seat to a Liberal, the other case the Judge counted them and also gave the seat to a Lib- eral. "Eitlier one is wrong," he charged.

Mr. McPhee said that "it is idle to say that the matter was not dis- cussed in caucus and decided what was to be done."

Premier Campbell admitted that it had been discussed in caucus and the decision reached was to leave it to the private members of the House.

Mr. MoPiiee said if the Govern- ment with it's large majozity de- cided to vole against it there was nothing the opposition could do but speak in protest against it, He warned the members who voted to declare the seat vacant that "they would regret it" and that “it. would be damaging politically " He sug-

gested that the House delay mak- ing a hasty decision. Mr. MacKay said that he had

ilntroduced the resolution in the iii-

terest of the people of the Second District.

Asks Delay

Mr. Robinson asked that the Courts be allowed some further time to consider the matter and that if at the end of the time nothing was done, then the seat should be declared vacant. He sug- gested a period of 6 months be ai- lowed the Courts to reach a final decision.

Hon. Mr. McGuigan declared a- gainst delaying the decision of the matter any further as the Courts had been given enough time to decide.

The attitude of the opposition towards the amendment was that it was an effort on the part of the Government to use ther large maj- ority in the House to prevent a Conservative member. declared elected by the Chief Justice of the Province, from faking his scat. When the House opened at 8.15 p. m. Premier Campbell rose to a question of privilege about an edi- iorial comment which appeared in the Guardian newspaper. He emphatically denied having refused to answer a question of the ex- Lieutenant Governor and denied insulting him as was stated in the comment.

The House went into committee on an act respecti lg the fish and canned fish and canneries inspec- tion with Mr. Saviile in the chair. It was reported agreed to.

curls-Charlottetown Road ' Mr. MacLeai-i asked the

ister of Public Works the follow- ing questions:

(i) Is it the intention of the Government to complete the hard surfacing of the highway from Charlottetown to Souris during the year i940?

(2) What is the mileage of hard surfaced road from St, Andrews to Savage Harbour?

(3) What was the cost of sub- Igrading gravelling and hard sur- acuig said road?

(4) Is the said road a main trunk highway, or i: it the main street of a viiage which does not hap- pen to lie on a main trunk high- way?

Hon. Mr, McIntyre replied ver- bagy as follows:
