Premier Taschereau And Provincial Sec-fig

rotary David Tak bergh Flying Stu They Ask.

MONTREAL. April 2'1. - "Why this bluff?“ asked Hon. Athanase‘ David. Provincial Secretary. in the course of a speech last night deal- ing with the rushing of anti-pneu- monia serum from New York to Quebec in thecase of Floyd Ben- pelt. the aviator". who died at Que- boo yesterday of pneumonia. _

Premier ‘L. A. Taschcreau an- nctmccd there was plenty of anti-- pnruinonia scrum in the province.

"As for Colonel Lindbergh." said Mr. David, "I have the utmost res- pccl and admiration. He reflects thc bravery of youth. I am his greatest admirer. But why this bluff? And especially this bluif

criran. a world celebrity?

"I wish to make it quim clear that I am not anti-American. But Icant stomach this way of takinll profit of a tragic situation under thc mask of charity. Here wc have everything that is ncticssary and wc do not nccd them to come from the United States to bring us serum. we can get along without Ameri- can doctors, be they the most o'c- complishcd specialists of that great country.

"Thc scrum—-why they did not cvcn try it. It was not the good one. We pass for a country of snows. I salute the heroes W110 110W frcm old Erin to Grecnly Island. They have not been able to get away from that remote part of ou" province. .

"That." concluded thc minister. "is bod cnough without calling us a land of ignorants. We have the scientists. we have the scrums. True. wo have not all tho laborator- ies needed, but if wc couldliave that safeguarded from Such a piece of stllriditv as Bil airplane-being flown fromNcw York up hcre with the serufn that we ready possess in more than suffi- iient quantity."

Mr. David added:

"l ni t bitterly rcprovc those who hie gone so far as to send f. hero li Colonel Lindbergh on sucn a futile mlssio i and to risk his lilo can vulgar. if spectacular. publicity" stunt."

Mi". Taschereau said: _ _

One oi‘ these aviators askedt if there was a hospital in Quebec‘ and he asked if there was a hotel. in Quebec, where an aviator" could) get a room to stay in. ‘Gentlemen.’ exclaimed the Prime Minister, “it seems to o". time that we made our country) known.

Reply From Supt. 0f Jeffrey llale Ifospltal

QUEBEC. April ‘.27?- Dr. W. H.- Delaney, Supt. of thc Jeffrey Halc Hospital here. today issued a state- inent detailing thc‘ circumstances which led to tho bringing of antl-' pneumonia serum to Quebec fi"oin New York for thc treatment. oi Floyd Bennett. “It is a well known fact." Dr. Del aney stated. “that wc liavi- any. amount of anti-pncitmonociccic| serum in Montreal and Quebec, it had been found necessary to use the scrum for typc 1 and type 2 infection. but Dr. Barach had cin- ployed a special anti-body solution, against typo 2 which is not availablet in Canada-ms it is prepared sole- Iyfor the use of the Board of Health of thc City of New Yorkf‘. “I cannot ilndcrstand the reason for all this publicity oi" the stato- mcnt made by the secretary of this province. if newspaper rcporlfi‘ can be relied on. that we have been called “a land of ignorants.“ Noi" can I agree that wc can gel; along without American doctors. be they the most accomplished special- ists of that great country. Again lf he ls correctly reported.

Interest today con-t tcred in the big deputation from. farmers in respect of cancellationol the orders in council relating to] very large representation of farmers who laid. their case before a number of the Ministers of the Government.

It was pointed out that duriir: the time that these orders worn in force there had’ bci-n no complaints from producers and consumers and conditions had been favorablv to producers. l

The Prime Minister tnarlc a long and plausible explanation on thc basis that parliament lalonc was supreme in matters of finance and, that theordorsiniccuncil had been cancelled for the reason . that it was a derogation of the powers t_-. parliament to delegate to a Min- ister. thc Minister of Customs.
