(From Our Own Correspondent.) 0'l"I‘AWA, Jan. 30- Before' n

i-roivded house and galleries Sir Sam lliiglies, ex-Minister of Militia, today dclivei-eil a speech which brought cold riiccr to the heai-to of Liberal mem- iicrs wiio have been waiting for the i`oi-iiicr war lord to do what tlie'ii‘ Op- position has not been -able to do, iiaincly, damage the record of thc pi'r=.~.rii1 niiiiiinistration beyond repair.

tlciieiui I-liighes minced no words

and ivliero he differed from the policy i`avorc<i by S/ir Robert Borden ami thc rr-sl ol' his. coilengiieii lie said so, biii. hc ilcciui-eil equally empha- ii<~al|_v that Liberali-sm was an impossibility for liim. He favored the putting in force of the Militia Act uiidcr wliicli 300.000 Canadians could lu- culled out and trained.

(noi-scar. volunteers could then be

called for and if enough did not come roi ward these force'es could be' sent over as- Militia. Sir Sam made several rcfcrciices to opposition he had met from Sir Thomas White., Minister ot Iiliiaiice. and this led the Finance .\liniste'r to reply.

Sir Sam said he' found himself in

ii peculiar position'. During the past few days he had received a consid- ci-uhlc' number of letters. offering him advice. One' writer urged him to “go slow und give no ammunition to the <irits;" another said, “the Tory gang have slated you. give them something hot." Sir Sam said he was' a believer iii responsible government, which ini-uiit party govemment.

Sh- Sam said be had been unofficial-

ly invited to cast in his lot with the” l.ihe'ral party.

"iii all love and kindness," he pro-

ceeded, “let me say the' idea shocked nie. To assist in -placing a states-man oi' even Sir Wilfrid La.urier's» high i-liarncter iii' power with the principles riiiiiiciatcd by his authorized support- cr in Dorchester, and have Canada dcpciid on his ideaiis' for the' conduct :ind liir- settlement of the war, would hc rcpiigiiant to my very soul. What- ever my coiinse today- may be and wiiaicvnr the effect to me may be rest asaii-red my aim, my purpose, my iicterinliiation have but one conc'iu .sion thc active, energetic conduct of thc war to a victorious conclusion."

iii-iieral Iiughes then referred to

the uiloged dlssiensions in the Cabinet. 'Fhcy had never “fought like blazer.” hc said. The Finance Minister had on occasion objected to the manner in which Sir Sam and other Ministers ivorii 'spending m0i18y. "I told him his proper function was not to :med- dh-' but to raise revenue and keel) thc coiiiury buoyant and prosperous-," suid.Sir Sam, "later on I showed him how ll. could be done."

'l`uriiliig to the matter of military

purcliase; Sir Sam challenged the world to .produce a. rrecord of good hiiyiiig. with one exceptipn.- as the piircliase. of eiuppiies for the First Voittingcnt. The solitary exception had been the purchase of trucks ollli IlIf'i'clc's by Mr. T. A. Russell, who had hc-en recommended by Sir Thos. \\‘hilc us nn did business associate.

Sir S-iiui then went on to speak of

Sir Sum ilien outlined his views. on

This would mean the promotion of General Byng to the' command of an army, the creation of two corps. one under General Currie and itiie other under some other Canadiauj consisting of six divisions or possib ` 'JY Bight, and orders- except for com- mand, to he directly under the Cana dian government.

SIR THOMAS WHITE REPLTES

Sir Thomas' White said he had noi

intende'd to intervene in the debate. but Si-r Sam had made some refer ence to him which called for a reply. The quotatioim from letters which Sir Sem msdE_et-ths,9lltsst.,5l\l°iA tions,_pi;g_bably carefully chosen, had referred to an intrigue oi’ the'Ministei of Finance- against ther ex‘~Miiiistor oi' Militia. "There are' some things," said Sir Thomas, “which a gentleman will not discuss; one thing in his own honor. I believe* I have the coniidefnce . of men on both sides of the house. and that outside of the Minister of Militia himself, no one' believes I aim capable of intriguing against any oi my colleagues. l will do the' ex- Minis-ter of Militia the justice to say that I doii't. believe he really believes himself. If lie does, then all il have tr say is that the strain of the past twc years has impaired what was once a strong and brilliant mind."

Sir Thomas declared that he had

always given General Hughes ii renerous measure of support for the ilve years in which he had been in the Cabinet. He had always. re garded him as a gallant -soldier and a ‘-rue patriot, and so regarded him to day. lt was true ho had had some -.on'filct with him in regard to the es- ‘imates for the' Militia Department, but the Minister of Finance necessar- ily hair to be responsible to the peo- ple, not only for getting revenue. but for keeping down expenditure. When thoro had been a division of opinion. lie, Sir Thomas, had gone to Sir Sam's oiiice and the whole matter had been satisfactorily adjusted.
