The Bacon Agmenient

Turning to the Bacon 81116111 with the United Kin om, . Han- son declared that vvi present mill- feed prices and freight rates. farm- ers in eastern Canada could not produce hogs for the prices offer- ed. certainly as far as New Bruns- wick farmers were concerned. He was not suggesting Elngland should offer higher prices. but somethin should be done by the Governmen for eastern farmers.

Mr. Hanson criticized the agree- ment and claimed oornethingshould be done to assist the farmers so they will not be required to produce

at a §.

"Nevertheless I am amo those who do not think we shoul exact the last cent from Britain." he add- e . "I say we should not haggle with England over the prioe of foodstuffs-and bacon is fourth on their list of necessities. ‘

"I. am bound to tell this House that from information which Ihave had from the other side of the water there is a feeling iii England that Canada is seeking” make money out of the war," . Hanson tvent OI].

“Nonsense.” exclaimed the Prime Minister. l

"That is the feeling in England. and we should at once endeavor to dissipate that feeling," Mr. Hanson insisted

“That feeling is certainly not en- tertiiined bv the government in Ehiizland,” Nix. King retort/ed, “nor by the people of England."

Mr. Hanson said the English people never would say anything of- fensive about Canada. even if they felt like it. but that the feeling was thlere as he had expressed it. HOW do you know?" asked a member. fft is none of your business how I KHOW. Mr. Hanson retorted. “I am not here for cross-examination." At one stage of Mr. Pouilot's speech. Mr. Hanson. with hand to mouth, made some aside remarks Finance Minister Ilsley across tile floor.

“Will the honorable Leader of the Opposition please shut up and not Zroan when I speak?" said Mr, Pouiiot amid some laughter.

When the House rose for dinner. Mr. Hanson asked to have

record. that should be done.

Tonight Mr. King strongly criti- cized Mr. Hanson for saying afternoon that there was a feeling in England that Canada was trying to make money out o! the war,

He was convinced that no Eng- lishman worthy of the name held such a view. He was in as close touch with the people of Britain as anybody in C da, he had never heard of it. He ventured to believe no person in Canada had heard. it until it was stated by Mr. Hanson.

Amendment Defeated

Mr. King was the last Speaker in the sub-amendment stage of the debate on the Throne Speech. The sub-amendment moved by John Baclunore. leader of the New De- mocracy group expressed lack of txiiifitlence in the government's monetary policies and was defeated by a. vote of 1'14 to 18.

Debate was then continued on the Conservative amendment. with J. F. Potilit tLib. Temiscouata) speak-

a.

Mr. King said the government had been asked by the British gov- ernment not to disclose facts on movements of war sup lies or amounts available. For t t rea.- soti he had been unable to accede to Mr. Hanson's earlier request 10i- two committees. one on act vlties of forces and the other on supplies and. deliveries. _

“It must be remembered in this conflict that it is not a matter of days, u-eeks or months. but oi ears. Every bit of information the. can be gatheiecl is being stored up for future tise."

Canada was comparativel, free of fifth columnists, he said, bu ‘Ican- iiot believe there are not those here who are preparing and collecting in- formation for the enemy.”

"To tell in public what we are shipping in the way of su plies would be simply to hand over the enemy the kind of information" he dcséres above all else to have. he sat . As goon as parliament meets Feb. 17, after the Christmas adjournment Mr. King sa-id he would move foi- appointment of a. committee on war expenditures in eicactly the same terms as the British committee ivas

WSI—

“that a select committee be ap- pointed to examine the current ex- peiidittire defrayed. out of 1110119.“ provided by parliament for the fence services for civil defence and for other services directly connected with tiio war. and to report what. if any. economies consistent with the execution of the policy decided by the government may be effecte therein.
