It is charged that while the Uni- ted States was supporting Frost-- dent Obregon and permitting arms shipments to the Federals, the powerful British armament house of Vlckers. Limited, was. arrang- in-g to sell De La Huerta thirty million cartridges, 50.000 rifles. and also machine guns.

on that property. So tlriit it’ the Lieutenant Governor lurid accepted the proposition which they say was made to him, and had remained in occupation of Government House, it would have cost this Pro. vlnce a great deal more than the S500 I1 year which we have paid. and in doing so we did not estnh lisli a precedent, either. The state. merit was made -by the leader oi‘ the Opposition that in no other Province would this thing be con- sitlereil. l want to draw his atten- tion to the fact that in 1919, the last year of which I have the re- cord. the Government House in Quebec cost that Province $45,000, in 1922 the Government House in Ontario cost $33,226.

M it. SAUNIYICIPS: Wa-s that rent?

HON. lJiL hichIiLLAN: No, not those provinces: they OWN their Government Houses. in Manitoba, in 1922 their Government House coat $11717; in Saskatchewan $16,- 083; in Nova Sootla $7,032; in AI- berta $5,569; in British Columbia $790; and in New Brunswick, they paid for rental of Government House $1,500. (Applause) .And be- sides that, they pay the office ex- penses and the private expenses of the Governor, $2,790, or a total oi $4.200. Suo that our payment of $500 a year ‘in lieu of rent was I think a very moderate and very just one. IBut my hon. friend went. further than that. He attempted to show this House—‘but he did not stic- cveil—thai $250 would have been ample rent for the house occupied by the Lieutenant Governor of this Province. I do not know on what basis he has figured; he may have been judging on the basis of rent in some other part of the ‘Province. but he was certainly NOT judging accurately on the basis of rent in this city, iii that rent were valued properly I think $500 a very mod- erate estimate; I know houses that are very much less prstenti and that. are outside the centre of the city. where the rent is $400 a your. for a very rmoii house.
