buted the large number for the Island Province to "the uproar" that had continued from the time the act was passed.

“ was it permitted to rim riot like that?" asked Mr. Melghen. There was ground for criticism if the large numbers of applicants in Prince Edward Island were due to the word 801m: round that "every man in the province could get his debts cut down."

Criticizes Conditions

The attitude of the creditors was '"at1y at fault. Mr. Gordon said. Q c Prince Edward Island

tion was different from where. The creditors there were the local merchants who accepted the farmers’ groduce in part pay- ments and w o exercised a pres- sure that was almost incredible.

Sonia of the mortgages were 50 years old.

Hon. J. A. MacDonald (Con. Cardigan) retested against Mr. Gordon's aracterization of the

merchant creditors of the and. Mr. Gordon did not know what he was talking about. From what source had he obtained his in- formation? ' "I got it as a result of the meet- gng of creditors,” replied Mr. Gor- on. ~

Attacks Allmlnlstratl '

(Lib. Prince) took up the attack against the administration of the act, and wordy interchanges came thick and fast when Hon. John E. Sinclair-tub. ueen's) asked Mr. Gordon if he ad received any communications from the adminis- trator; Mr. Gordon proceeded to read a letter he had had a few days ago from Judge Saunders.

Judge Saunders’ Letter

In it Jud e Saunders, referring to the Sena debate on the act some weeks ago, declared the at- tacks of both Senators Hughes and MacArthur to have been inspired by “personal spite." He challenged Mr. MacArthur! statement that ‘the board had advertised its meet- ngs.

Later Senator MacArthur pro- duced a copy of a Summerslde newspaper caryixig announcement of such a meeting, signed by F. A. Bell, the official receiver. Mr. Gor- don said when his attention was drawn to this. he had wired that advertising be discontinued.

In his letter Judge Saunders also took issue with observations in the Senate by Mr. Mei hen and Hon. J. T. Haig (Con. Wnnipeg). Turn-

Saunders recalled a case where. he wrote. a woman applicant named Gedson had protested to

farm, to convert the place into a park. and to make a “trout-pond" glut of a small body of water on

Vehement Denial

‘This was vehemently denied by Senator MacArthur. He said the first chief commissioner of Prince Edward Island preview board was Mr. Justice Arsenault; and no

than Ju e Saunders, the present lncumben. All that Mrs. Gedson had asked was reduction in inter-

est.

At this point Mr. Haig inter- vened. He had made ho reference to Judge Saunders in the Senate All he had said. iloting from Hansaid. was that e Senators of Prince Edward Island have re- vealed what may happen under a weak board."

June 7—(CP)—Temp- era flared in the House of Coun- mons today as Conservative Leader Bennett charged the Government With doing nothing while the House was in session fm- ve months and declared Prime Minis- ter Madscnzia King did not spend an hour and a half a day in the House on the average. The Prime Minister was absent at the time and the clash was between Mr. Bennett and. Finance Minister

The clash started when Conser- vative leader silggesied the impo-i sitlon of a dumping duty on crude} oil from Montana to assist in the- utilization of oil from the wells in‘. Tumer Valley. Alberta.

The Government was fully alive to the problem of the Turner Val- ley. said Mr. Dunning, but he did not consider a dumping duty would meet the situation.

Then Mk. Bennett read a quota- tion from a Calgary newspaper which said: “In Ottawa 245 costly politicians talk for flve months and accomplish nothing. The Can- adian Tariff Board investigates the Tumey Valley situation‘ and ed- loums forever."

Mr. Dunning observed the quota- tion had been sent to all members and Mr. Bennett said that did not lessen its value.

"Well they have been poor list- eners, for the Prime Minister has not been in this House an average of an hour and a half a. day since theltsession opened." said Mr. Ben- ne .

“You did not?" asked Mr. Ben- nett. "Read the record. Day after day. week after week you referred in the fact that I was not in my place because I was working long hours on work that I had to do."

A reference by Mr. Bennett to promises made by the Liberals in Saskatchewan election drew from Thomas Vien (Lib. Outremcnt) the remark:

"I seem to recall a. phrase, ‘I will end unemployment or perish in the attempt."

“My friend is correct," said Mr. Bennett, "and we did end the un- employment that existed at that tixn_e. It is true those who were then unemployed were replaced by increasing nurnibers.
