Minisler's instructions heartily con- "“""ed ill hy NS COU0ugiios. were that file miflllliers of the committee were to U0 given the broadest scope in prose. outing their enquiries, that all cases 0Y alleged wrong-doing must 1,0 flsoroiisly probed, and that where the

committee's findings warranted it, pro. ocedlngs should be instituted for reo- titution and punishment.

March 24th, 1915, Hon. Dr. Reid said:

the Minister spoke to the some effect:

made the following declaration:

Speaking in the committee on

"I want to say that if thero is

any information the committee wants, or any wrong-doing, that ns hir as thc government is con-

cerned, we wont to ferret it right to thc bottom; we do not want to shield any person.”

On the day following, March 25th,

“The Government is determin-

ed to protect fully the interests of the country in this and in all cases, and to take such proceed- ings as may be necessary for that purpose."

Later on diirliig the some sitting he

“I waht to repeat hero again

that so for as the Government is coiiccrneil they woiit to prosecute their investigation to the very ut- most limit. As representing tho Government, I have stated that we want to get to the bottom of

vestigation from now on, until

question the good faith of the Gov- course of the.committee’s. work. The ernment at any time throughout the following excerpt from the otiicial re- port ot April 9th, makes this clear:

volved comparatively small sums, thc discovery was followed by prompt tic- iioii on the part of the Govefriimeiit. They related to the purchase of drugs, binoculars and horses. The Depart- ment oi’ Justice was instructed to in- vestigate these matters more fully and to institute legal proceedings against the wrong doers. Two Conservative nienxbers, Mr. Garland, ot' Carleton, Ontario and Mr. Foster, of Kings, Nova Scotia, were found guilty of in- iiiscretion in relation to army supplies though neither of them was convicted of actual wrong-doing, they were pub- ii‘i:ly rebuked by Sir Robert Borden from his place in Parliament, and Mr. Foster resigned his seat. The rea- sons the Primo Minister gave Parlia- ment for the censure thus passed on

“I also wsnt.to say that so tar

as going in to these or any other matters in connection with the

the Government are not only will- ing but anxious to go into them from start to finish and get the true facts out in order that if there has been any wrong-doing,

or prosecution shall be undertak- en, to put matters right."

Again, on the some any. the Minis-

of Customs sold:

"So far as these matters under

investigation are concerned, or any others in connection with the Militia or any other department that have been brought ull l\0\'e» il- ls the intention of the Govern- ment to further the investisiitiwl and get to the bottom of every matter. We will follow this in-

wo see exactly whether there are any other matters where there has been iiny wrong-doing."

No Opposition member ventured to

Dr. Reid:-“I want to have it

also understood that it is not the Government who arc responsible for stopping any investigations."

Mr. Carvell:-“I thought we

had put that very plainly.”

Mr. Kyte:-"That is perfectly

understood.”

PREMIER BORDEN’S STRONG STAND

Although these irregularities iii-

two of his o\vu parliamentary support-

ers, were as follows:

“As far as thc member for Carl.

etoii (Mr. Garland) is concerned, 1 have alrciiily alluded to the pur- cliases by Mr. Powell. Mr. Garland

was forinciry the owner oi’ the bus- iness whici is now carried on by the Carleton Drug Company, as I miilerstniiil_ The business was transferred to an incorporated conipnuy, and I think we may fair- ly assume, without doing any ln- jiistice to Mr. Garland, that he is the principal person interested and concerned in that company. He had in his employ this young man who was devoting 12 to 14 hours a day to his diitles and who received it salary of $75.00 a niontli_ He not only permitted, but lie encouraged and assisted that young man to make a contract with the Govern- ment, under which, within ii few weeks ho acquired a profit oi' $9,000. I cannot for one moment give my sanction or approval to a transaction of that cliarnctor, hc- cause, to say the least, it is bound to arouse a vcry grave suspicion and H member oi’ parliament, in re- spect of contracts with the Govern- ment, ought to keep himself absol- utely above suspicion. Tliercfore, in respect to the hon. member for Carleton, and in respect of the hon. member for King‘s, N. S., I fcel tiint I owe it as s duty to the Gov- ernment oi' which I am the head, to tho party ot which in Federal ai- iairs, I nm the leader and to this Ilouso and to this country to ex- press, as I do here express, my very grnvo disapproval of their conduct lp respect oi’ the matters

RESTITUTIDN AND PIJNIBH- MENT.

Elsewhere in the some speech (page

2690) the Prime Minister emphatically stated the Governuieiit’s position re. gsrding frauds practised in certain in-

dividual sules of horses to the Militia Department: ‘-

“Evidonce has been von of

men who did not hesitate to de- clare upon their oath-thot they were <1-1 ';~:.;i<iiiig the Government: that they hnew they were defraud- ing the Government, and rejoiced in the opportunity to do so. So far as these men are concerned, I make this statement: First, it the laws of this country permits the courts of justice to enforce resti- tution against them.¢ that restitu- tion Will be enforced; secondly, that if those laws permit the _walls of the penitciiiiary to encir- cle them, they will go there."

To SAFEGUARD THE TREASURY.

some fraud or imposition practis- -

ed upon thc Government in con- nection with this iniittei' by cer- tain persoiis who sold horses to the Government. Sonic of the most disgraceful and cynical pas- sages that were ever uttered in the presence of the Public Ac- counts Commitlee have occurred in the sworn testimony of certain

` men brought before that commit.
