The motion. moved by M. J. Caldwell. C_C.F. leader. as an amendment to n motion to go into supply, later was ruled out of order by Speaker Gaspard Fau- tcux on the ground that the sub- ject matter was covered by the main govbmment bill for the con- tinuation of certain war-imposed controls.

Mr. Caldwell argued that the two did not fall into the same category but did not contest Dr. Fauteux‘; ruling.

The control debate was the out- come of a hodge-podge discussion which developed on the supply mo- tion.

John Bracken, Progressive Cou- scrvative leader. drew attention to the need for Dominion-Provincial co-operatl-on in flood controls in eastern areas now inundated by swollen rivers and urged the early issuance of a vprit for pa Federal by-eiection in the vacant con- stituency of Halifax.

Subsidies Discussed _

OTTAWA. April 14——-(5pecia1J— Complaints registered in the House of Commons today by Opposition ‘leader John Bracken and C. 0.1“. leader M. J. Caldwell over the dropping of subsidies plaid on Western grain, are taken by mem- bers from the Marltimes and Cen- tral Canads al an indication that the “golden harvest” in the West is drawing to a close.

Year after year es the war con- tinued, farmers of the Msritimes saw subsidy after subsidy and price raise after price raise auth- orized for wheat and coarse grains grown on Western taunts. ‘they saw money paid furthers of Mani- toba. Saskatchewan and Alberta to grow wheat. ‘Ihey saw the some farmers of those provinces paid not to grow wheat.

At the same time, they saw prices of potatoes. dairy prod- ucts, apples ind vegetables move upwards only at a snails pace. Owing to exigencies of war. little complaint was heard from fanm- era of the Maritimes over the re- peated bonuses paid to their west- ern co-workers. They did feel it grossly unjust that the Govern- ment had taken unilateral action on farm product prices with the west taking all. They saw the western farmer getting top prices for wheat with the Maritime po- tutu-grower getting nothing more than could be obtained in a free and highly competitive market.

Dropping of_ the sytbstdt a the
