OITAWA, MANh l8 — (OP) — Submarines had sunk ships off the American coast and American sub- marines had sunk enemy vessels close to Je an“ Navy #411115“?! Angul Mac onald stated in tbs House of Commons yesterdny.

Mr- Mudoneldfis address mad: during the budget debate, was in- terspersed with brisk clashes with members of the opposition. At one point, Mucdonald demanded that. J. FIBJICOLS Poullot (Lib. Tem- lscouata) be required to observe the House rules of order.

Thu loss of three tons out of every 1000 mm of stripping was, "something better than average. Mr. Mulcdonuld said. takinll 1n consideration losses at sea every- when.

Mr. Gegnon bed denied truth of the Minister's statement that only 20 merchant ships had been sunk. New a r headlines had featured the 2f that. more than 30 shim had been sunk, stud Mr. Macdonnld. Hs had asked Mr. Gsgnon w firoduce the names and dbl-Elle‘ but

. Gagnon held not. done so and

cannot d0 no" because there were not 30 ships sunk. To settle the whole question he now pro ed to give the names cl all vesse sunk in that area. m l9- 42, although knowing that it was m contravention of the policy adopted by other United Nations.

OitI Home:

The mutter road the names of

ll merchantmen and two ship: of war, the Corvette Chzulottelowtl and the patml ship Raccoon. The former was known sunk b! enemy action but the Raccoon had mo: dllap ered and Wu pre- nume sunk y enemy action.

These linklngs were in the Gulf

and River St. Lawrence, including the Strait of Belle Isle up to Belle Isle, and the xvaters west. of e line drawn from Bcatarle Island, Capt: Breton, to Taylor Bay, Nfld, It would be impossible for w. Gugnon or any other person to know accurately everythlng that happened inside that great area. But the department, knowing the movement and fate of shlpplng could have n. fairly accurate picture. Neva-l coastal service officers and luvel reporting officer; were scat- tered throughout the area, with full knowledge and control over the movements of all shipping.

In view of this, the Minister said, he was in a better positlon to know about these slnklngs than Mr. Gagncn, Mr. Roy or "the mem- ber for Temlsoouata" (M: Poullot).

Chelhugea Statements

He was telling facts. obtained from official sources. llll". Gngnon was ‘peaking cf what he had llt-ttrtl in the form of gossip. He Chhlitfll- ged Mr. Gagnon to name the ud- dltional ships he claimed were sunk.

“If he cannot do that he ls dis- credited before the people of this country. Perhaps some others vtlll be discredited, some people sitting in this House."

Finding that he could "not make good on his statement" the Min- ister said Mr. Gtlgnon now Said he Wm willing to have his claims ul- vestigated but that. “he mtlst have 13 other matters investigated at the same time.”

Mr. Gagncn wanted an investig- ation into why steps were not. taken to protect shipping in the Strait of Belle Isle.

"He knows that every naval unit

at sea, no matter where it is, is helping to protect the Slrnat cl‘ Belle Isle and the whole country," said the Minister. At a secret sitting of the House Mr. Roy, who demanded it, hflli "made certain statements" and in every case had admitted that he had made “no investigation to as- certain their accuracy."

Mr. Graydon and Joseph Harris (Prog. Con. Toronto Danfortltl pro- tested thet no reference could made to anything that happened at a. secret sitting. Speaker Glen n- gareeed that no such references s“...

made and the Minister said he would agree that such references as he made should be expungcti from the record.

Buds Affidavit

He referred to Mr. Roy's comments On reports that a corvette escorted the steamer Jeun-Brillllnt with n party of sportsmen from Rimouskl, Que, to the north shore last June.

The Minister read a sworn statement sent him by Jules Bril- lant, member of the Quebec Leg- islative Council, declaring that; the JCBJI-Bfliiflfll. was not escorted, and a similar effld vlt from Sernphut Mousette ag t of the owners, Rimouskf, and from Capt. William Tremblay, Commander of the Jean- Brilllcnt, also denying that the steamship was escorted as claimed.

Mr. Macdonald said he had asked Mr. Brlllant if the vessel had been escorted at any time and the ans- wer was in the negative.

In the face of those denials, the Minister said, little credence could be (placed upon any of the charges ma e by Mr. Roy.

Mr. Graydon rose to a point of order. to say that Mr. Mncdonnld attempted to prove that certain tatements of Mr. Roy's were wrong,

ut. to say that the same was true o: all Mr. Roy's statements was a definite reflection upon a. member of the House.

Speaker Glen ruled that n su gc ion from the Minister that a1 Mr. Roy's statements might be judged by the ones he had just declared to be wrong was not. permissible.

r. Roy's claim that no planes assisted c convoy attacked off Cap Des Rosters last September, Mr. Macdonald 581d the convoy wns preceded by an airplane which passed when the U-boat was sub- merged. The break went to the sub- marine.

A telephone warning had failed to reach the naval authorities before the submarine struck and the Min- ister said he could not say where the delay, 1f any, occurred.

Aircraft Attacks

Aircraft had made eight attacks on U-boats in that. area and while there was no concrete evidence of success the officials believed some damage was caused.

Commenting on report-t of sub- marines being sighted, Mr. Mam donsld said the records proved that 80 per cent of them were errors. Mr. Macdonald denied Mr. Roy's statement that the “battle of the 8t. Lawrence" had been lost.

Some members seemed to think the St. Lawrence was a. River litnt could be screened or buoyed to give it complete protection but at the furthest point up river where an nt-

tack was made last your the width was 30 miles. wider than the strnat OI Dover which the British Navy,

Navy Minister McDonald In Heated Altercations Over St. Lawrence Losses

with all its might, had been ‘Li! to render completely safe.

Mr. Cvraydon asked the Minister to t-otntttettt on the newspaper re- port quoting Premier Godbout of Quebec as saying that "every (ml lulows there are spies elo the St. Lawrence and possibly Now fonndland."

Mr. Macdonald sold the French version of that speech indicated tum: Mr. Goglbout. had said than "they" b; spies in those places.

"That ls uite true. I have sold so myself," he Minister added. so far u could be learned there wen no submarine bases hidden in thlt area.

said.

"I believe the defoncel lgelnt submarines this year will be strong- er than ever," the Minister went on. There would be more ships to patrol the St. Lawrence ares and every effort would be made by thl emly, nix force and navy to protect shipping.

"But I am not saying that. even if we could double or treble the de- fence units that we could guar- antee complete immunity from sub- marine attack" he added. "Not even if we he. the whole Canadian

. Roy had bald the people e- long the Gaspe Coast were wor- rtecl about the submarine menace. Mr. Mactlontlld suggested that if Mr. Roy llud ascertained the lack of basis for reports he had repeated and had gone among his people t0 reusure them, he would have been playing e "tnore loyal“ role.

This brought Mr. Harris to hi! feet \\'i'll n dvntzmd that the Min- tster withdraw any reflection upon Mr. Roy's loyalty. The Minister said ltc was referring only to de- grecs of loyalty and although there was much cross-fire he was not zlskcti to withdraw‘.
