This procedure was taken as an indication that the legislation nowed before Parliament author- izing removal of the three trustees and restoration of the director system will not be referred to the committee. The bill has not yet re- celved second reading.

Mr. Fullerton, appointed in 1933 with J. E. Labelle and F. K. Mor- row as a board of trustees to ad- minister the National Railways. replacing the former board of dir- ectors, took office Jan. 1, 1934. The change was recommended in the report of the Duff Commission on transportation.

Duff Report Vindieaicd

In his statement today Mr. Ful- lerton declared that insofar as it had been possible in the short time the trustees were in office the hopes of the_Duff Commission had been vindicated.

In moving second reading of the bill in the Commons some weeks ago Mr. Howe had declared the trustees had failed to accomplish expected economies and had not achieved a reasonable measure of

co-operation with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Expreues "Admlratlon"

Today the Minister expressed admiration for Mr. Fullerton but

declared the Government felt the

railways should be headed by a

man thoroughly conversant with the railway problem. Fullerton. through no fault of his own. was not. Unpleasant as it was to request the resignation of the

which Mr.

Under the act of 1933 the trus- tees may be dismissed only for "assigned cause and on an addrcn of the Senate and the House of C ." It is ‘ that if the trustees are persistent in their refusal to resign. which is un- likely. their dismissal will be ef- fected by the House refining to vote money for their salaries. It is understood. however. that the resignations will be forthcoming once the necessary legislation has been passed.

Neither M . Labelle not Mr. Morrow made any statements on their activities as trustees but the former endorsed the submission of the chairman. Mr. Morrow is serv-

Among the first tourists to arrive in the city are Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Werdner. accompanied by Mrs.‘ Florence E. Werdner who motored from Pasadena. California, They left yesterday afternoon by the S. S. Hochelaga and will tour Nova scotia before returning to their homes.

abandonment of facilities was an- nounced. and thirdly the problem created by throwing men out of employment when co-operative steps were taken.

In any further steps taken in this direction Mir. Fullerton rc- commendcd that the government, the two railways and the repro- sentatives of the men attempt to reach an agreement that would provide protection for long term employees thrown out of work by such amalgamatlons.

Reference to the annual reports. Mr. Fullerton said, would disclose that since the trustees took office there had been a marked im- provement in the financial sit- uation. particularly in the case of the steamshlps and hotels which were under his direct supervision. When the trustees took office the morale of e .plo,vees was low. Mr. Fullerton said. Their numbers had been reduced frcm lll.000 to 70,000. and wages from $1’l8.000.000 to 895000.000. 'l11ey were "fearful of proposals for amalgamation and unification“ with the possibilities of less work and less pay."

“It is my view that quicker pro- gress could have been made had there been present in the officials of both railroads a. greater meas- ure of the will to co-operate." Mr. Fullerton said.

Community Attitude

“Another factor to which atten- tion must be given is that almost every scheme for effecting further economies has a direct bearing on -some community, and tie intel- csts of each community has to be seriously cbnsidered. It is a re- markable feature of the public‘s attitude towards co-operative and other economy measures that. while there is universal approval of these in the abstract. any con- crete step which affects emp‘oy* ment in. or the supposed import- ance of a community. is immed- iately faced with all the opposition which that community can com- mend."

He had reached the conclusion. Mr. Fullerton said. that the gov- ernment. the railways and rep- resentatives of railway labor should discuss the whole question of employment, wcr-kink C0341‘ tion and wages with a view to adopting some arrangement for the two Canadian railroads "as will afford reasonable protection against hardship on the part of those employees who. after ion! years of service, may be displace‘ by adoption of co-operative meas- ures."

This was important. the chair- man said, "in view of the neces- sity which may soon present it- self——-if indeed it has not already done so-—-of effecting economies and restriction of railway services on a scale throughout Canada much greater than that contem- plated by a plan of co-operation. -"Personally I think that having got rid of clesrlvv unjustifiable ex- penses, thc public "view is that every effort should be made to keep intact, as far as possible. the important asset which Canadian National Railways represents. and that this sentiment applies to the other great Canadian system. I believe that there is a sincere de- Iire to have the two syltems pro- ceed abreast in any etc they may take. and I cnrr-espcn g aversion to one reelislrg an advantage at the expense of the other.”

Seeding Delayed By

_. Wet Weather, But Prospects Reported Good.’

I

(C. P. By Guardian's Speclll Wire)

OTTAWA, June 2——The Dominion Bureau of Statistics today issued the first of a. series of seven tele- graphic crop reports covering all Canada and described the outlook for spring crops as "rather unfavor- able" on the mainland, but good in Prince Edward Island and Vancou- ver Island.

The summary said lateness of seeding was a. general complaint. It added: "The Maritime and Eastern Provinces lzad severe frosts during May that caused heavy. but some- what indeterminate. damage to fruit and truck crops. continued wet weather in these provinces hindered seeding operations and subsequent growth has been retard- ed by an extended period of cold weather.

“On Prince Edward Island. con- tinued wet weather has delayed seeding but prospects for grains. meadows, pastures, fruits and ber. ries are described as above aver- age.

“In Nova Scotla, severe frosts late in May caused serious damage in many of the fruit areas. partic- ularly to apples and strawberries. Seeding of spring grains was hur- rle¢ nearly to completion during the last week of the month. Pastures and meadows are exceptionally well advanced. containing . abundant growth of clover.

"Seeding has been greatly delayed by rain in New Brunswick also and farmers are worried by the lateness of the season. Growing conditions for hay have been excellent.

TENSE SCENE

(Continued from Page 1)

Premier King and several other members were drawn into tho short, pithy exchange. \

The Reconstruction member, ask- ed: "Is.this to be a free forum or is it not?" when the Government tool: obiection to the amendment. The administration should not at- tempt to laugh it off or raise tech- niorl objections when serious mnh tors we 1 advanced.

The Vancouver monetary rc- former said his duty WI! 0'1“ when he moved the amendment and if the Government did not see fit t" debate it, it was alright with him. This drew the Prime Minister into the discussion. He told Mr. McGeer if he had wanted the amendment discussed. he should have had the courtesy to give the government notice. He could not find a Cabinet colleague who had kn ‘m of the Mlccieer amendment before hearing it.

The McGeer ame dment called

for six senators to si on the special

committee, noted Mr. King, “and if the House wants to support a motion of that kind. it should have

every opportunity."

The deputy speaker ruled it out

of order on the grounds the House

committee could not delegate its

duties to a special committee.

Late in the evening, the resolu- tion prefacing the bank bill passed

through committee stage without

division and Finance lvfinitser Dun- ning introduced the bill itself. Mr. Mooeer. speaking to atten-

tive galleries and a full oomplement

of members, attacked the chartered banks. l-le accused them of creat- ing deposits hy loaning money un- til they reached the point at the end of 1935 of having more in de- posits than all the currency of the country. rs. he said. claimed to have on deposit uz.o3o.0oo,ooo but all the money in Canada was only $294,000,000.

He called this an "unchallenged

swindle" and trading short in man-

ey. He knew of no one else who could do it and escape going to the penitentiary.

The Vancouver member said he could not agree with the principle of a half-private. half-public cen- tral bank. particularly when it was admitted the bank controlled the economic life of the country by its power over currency and credit. He asked who could guarantee the gov- ernmentyappointed directors would follow blindly the instruction; of the administration and not throw in with the private shareholders‘

directors to thwart the wishes of

the government.

The Liberal Party. Mr. Mcceer said. made definite promises before and during the election to over- ride the money oligarchy and to re-

store to Parliament the control ov- er credit and currency issued in

terms of public need.

"I may have been over optimis- tic." he continued. "in my belief the day was going to down when

Liberalism would usher in an era when mankind of this country

would be emancipated from tho

slavery of debt and the bondage of

usury. And I do not believe that promise has been fulfilled."

Turning in his seat and sweep- ing hls fellow-Liberals with his eyes. Mr. Mcueer repeated that el- ection promises had been broken. If they continued to be broken the Liberal party was putting its "foot- stops on tint trail of broken prom- ises that leads not only through the valley of humiliation but deep down to the abysmal depths of eter- nsl oblivion."

The people had the right to know. he continued. what consid- eration; prompted the Government to switch from A policy of public ownership of the bank to one of half-private and half-public. par- ticularly in view of the feet 10.000 s-"air" r°"‘.‘:..'°.‘:.'" -
