was devoted to the discussion of Mr. Flint`s resolution in favor of provincial 10031 option. and of the two amendments

the adoption of prohibition throughout Canada, and the other by Mr. Parmelee, that the result of the plebiscitc vote did not warrant the introduction of prohib- itory legislation.

The result was the adoption by a large

majority of the amendment proposed by Mr. Pai melee, with ii further clause ad- ded, on motion of Mr. Douglas, -in favcr of enlarging the scope and perfecting the machinery for the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act,otherwise known as the Scott Act, which will have the sup- 1 portrof the government. After Mr. Flint had spoken to his mo-

tion, Mr. \Vallace charged the govern- ment supporters with shilly shallying, and said that if he got a chance he would propose an amendment in favor of com- pensation to the liquor interests affected. i` Quebec was the most intemperate pro- vince in Canada. His position was in ` favor of prohibition with compensation. Dr. McDonald (Huron) said the scope

isters in the Upper House of Parliament in 1898, before the taking of the plebiscite, to show that it was distinctly under stood it would Sequire more than a bare majority to secure passage of such a law. There was no misunderstanding among the teinperance people, They knew that I. small vote would defeat the object of the plebiscite. This had been urged in every temperance journal of Canada and after the vote had been taken such strong temperance advocates as Rev. Dr. Potts, Mr. J. S. Robertson, Secretary of the Canadian Temperance League, Mr. Craig M. P., and more recently Rev. Dr. Good- speed, of Toronto, had freely expressed the' opinion that a. prohibitory law based, on the prohibition plebiscite would be a mistake.

Mr. Fielding put the question ilatly

to Mr. Foster, leadingthe Opposition to define the position of the Conservative party on the prohibition issue. '

The Finance Minister paused fora

reply, but Mr, Foster was silent.

Mr. Bergeron (Beauharnois) said that

he would liketo see a division on Mr. Mclure’s amendment. though in favor of temperance he was opposed to this amendment. '

SirLouis Davies recalled Mr. Foster’s

declaration of policy in 1891 that in “a moment of weakness" he had voted for immediate prohibition. In the absence _of any subsequent change of front this was Mr. Foster’s position to-day.. Sir- Louis argued that from a constitutional standpoint it would not be competent to pass legislation of this nature for_ one`

visable.

There was no unanimity of opinion

among prohibitionists, and three or four different opinions could be distinctly seen. a There was Mr. Flintfs view that the vote polled did not justify national prohibition 1 but would justify provincial prohibition. Another view was given by Mr. McClure,

who favored absolute prohibition through- I out the Dominion. Then there was the view of Mr Craig, to whom he must give the credit of having always spoken consistently and honestly, who was in favor 'of prohibition,' but was also of ' opinion that the time had not yet come for its enactment. Mr. Wallace was of opinionthat a prohibitory law would be advisable if coupled with compensation. There was also the view of Dr. McDonald-I that the cause would be best promoted by perfectingthc Scott Act. All these gentle men were pronounced prohibitionists, and no twoagreed. Under the circumstancesl

he was more than justided in claiming

that the government had rightly inter- _ ixeted the verdict of the people when they had decided that the time had not yet come for the enactment of a prohib~

itory law.

The House had three propositions before it, but practically only one, as he thought he might put aside Mr. McClure’s amend- ment. Practically the only proposition was that of Mr. Flint to enact a pro-
