Mr. Michaud said the opposition in the New Brunswick Legislature has charged discrimination against New Brunswick in the expenditure oi public moneys for war urposcs. and had called outlays ma e so far "chicken feed."

"They were placed in the Muni- tions department and were given tlons in which they could in the discharge oi their duties look after the interests oi the indust- rialists of the province."

He said 34 New Brunswick in- dustrial firrng had received war contracts direct from the Muni- tions Department. and some had Noeved capital assistance when it wsc needed. Eleven other plants engaged on work of importance tn the war had not received govern- ment grant; nor direct contracts.
