Most taxpayers will .fcel like agreeing with I\lr. liurdun tiraydoii, Progressive Conserva- llltj IHCIlllJCI‘ for lK-cl, when he referred to the huge aiiiouiit of furniture bought for govern- ment departments during the war, and said he could not see the necessity of buying new furni- ture now at all. Veterans Affairs Minister Mackenzie pro- fessed to be "amazed and astounded” at the . Opposition attitude. The personnel of his de- partment, he said, had increased from 2,000 to ,_ 15.000 or 10,000, and he alleged that Mr. Gray- . don, ":1 veteran himself and a splendid one, in ' moving to reduce this vote to $1, is insulting the iiitclligciice of this House of Commons.” Surely it would not be an insult to the in- telligence of the House to suggest to Mr. Mac- kenzie that iustcad of buying more furniture for his expanding department, he utilize the I, furniture lying idle in the departments that ' ,' ~ have been, or should have been, closed up by reasoinof the war being over and their usefui- riess terminated. .\i111'.l1ur point raised by the Opposition was that if the Public Works Department was buy- ing furniture front the \\'ar Assest Corporation, the peopic of Canada were paying twice for thc furniture, first when it was bought new aiithxrgiiiii when it ivas resold to another de- partiiicnt. lri rcply, Mr. Fouriiier said he did not l\llt)\\' whether there was any actual cash transaction in the purchase from War Assets. Other odd things are happening at Ottawa these days whcre the policies and practices of \\'ar .\S5’-‘ts Corporation are concerned. Ques- tions intended by members to be placed on the i‘ ., order paper disappear, at least temporarily, and other members bold enough to discuss the sub- ject find themselves hopelessly‘ snarled in House rules, \1\'hilc llroof is lacking, there is a strong prcstimption that all this is not accidental: that the Government is none too keen for further disclosures as to bungling in the disposal of surplus war goods. If this is the case, the Gov- ernmeiit is certainly proceeding in the wrong direction. This free and easy manner of dis- posing of public money cannot fail to arouse suspicion and criticism. It indicates. among other things, that the bureaucrats are still- riding ltigh, widc and handsome at Ottawa, a condi- tion of affairs which thc average taxpaycr 1s not going to rcgnrtl with complacency.

There is also the fact that the contract DflCB between Britain and Canada docs not actually reflect what the Canadian farmer rcccives for his hogs. There are Dominion quality premium-z. some provincial subsidies and freitrlll B55l5l3n¢° on feed now being paid here. All these have to be taken into consideration; also the fact that the new contract is with the Danish Gov- ernment and it is not known how much of the actual price being paid will be returned to the Danish farmer. L'i1til all such matters are known and turned into a real basis of_ coni- parison it is extremely difficult to arrive a1 conclusions. It may eventually turn nut that. in terms of buying power, what the Canadian farmer receives for his hogs ma)‘ be Ere-ll" than what the Danish farmer will receive.
