Himself.

Mr. Pculiot, his protest unpfiifltd, abstained from voting because he was paired with a Conservative member. He said he would have Wled against the bill because he believed it would be useless unless the administration adopts‘ a. freer trade policy and that it would do nothing for those now jobless.

$105108 the second reading de- bate Mr. Bennett reiterated his be- lief that the federal government was clothed with necessary con- stitutional jurisdiction to enact the bill. He questioned the attitude of the Opposition which, he said praised the measure in one breath and with the next raised every pos- sible objection to its enactment. No provincial legislature could enact such a measure. Mr. Bennett ma. nor could any group of legislatures do it. The federal parliament was the only body that could do it.

Defender! Bill

After Prime Minister R. B. Ben- nett had defended lhe bill against attacks of those who believed it un- constitutional and stored Liberals arguing against its constitutional- ity. Mr. Pouiiot declared he was convinced that any judge "free from, political affiliations" would find the act ultra wires.

In the meantime, he declared, the bill would be usrd for election pur-

poses.

Mr. Pouliot made his remarks af- ter the House had taken tli~ vote and gone into committee of the whole.

lie was followedby J. S. woods- worth (Labor Winnipeg North Centre) who acknowledged the measure had many desirable feat- ures but fell far short of "social justice" which was the objective o‘ the Icaguc of Nations on which the bill is based in part. He argued it covered only one phase of social insurance and that many other stops should be taken which were supported by the Prime Minister's contentions for the measure.

Labor was still regarded as a commodity although international treaties declared this should not be the case. '

Workers were still subject to dis- crimination for membership in un- ions although right of association was guaranteed by treaty.
