The Privy Council accepted our recom. mendatlon and on the 9th of Jan- uary. i820, an order in council was passed approving our view. After that, whenever Mr. white and 1 met on the street, he gave me the cold shoulder. Had the editorial committee, originally created in 1911. upon the recommendation of the Joint committee of both houses on the printing of Parliament, been in existence ten years earlier, we could have saved the country hun- dreds of thousands of dollars more than we did. For instance, we should promptly have put the

sion publication like "Goitre: Its Prevalence and Prevention; "The Farmers’ Handbook"; “The Farm- ers‘ Account Book"; “Flshways in British Columbia," etc. What the Conservation Commission had to do with these topics is beyond compre- hension. ,

The members of the depart- mental inquiry committee found that in its publicity work the Con- servation Commission had not an equal in Ottawa. By a. carefully thought out system of propaganda it made a detremined effort to ob- tain for itself credit for practically all investigations relative to Can- adian natural resources, generally ignoring the constructive work ai- ready done by the mrmanent gov- ernmental organizations. and in many cases claiming credit for their work to the detriment, in the eyes of the public, of the organiza- tion which had been responsible for its actual accomplishment. One eulogistic champion of the commis- sion said that for years twenty of Canada's foremost scholars. scien- tists and business men, had given their services free. with the 00- operation of representatives of the {cam-cl and provincial governments,
