~who he claimed had received shab- by treatment from the Pensions Board, T. L. Church, (Cons. Toron- to, N.W.). continued the rfibate on soldiers pensions. He urged the House to take immediate action and said it might well spend a week on the question now rather then refer it to a committee which would mean in- definite delay.

The questi s under discussion was s resolution introduced by Peter Mc- Glbborl, (Cons; Muskoka), that the onus of diaproof of the disabilities alleged in any application for pen- sion should be on the Pensions Board. >
