"Engheers indeed have pointed out that the electricity needed to ventilate a- modern tunnel would equal the amount now consumed by the whole Province. It's reck- oned a bridge would cost twice as much as I Csuseway,-assum- ing cheap fill.

This view was concurred in by othrs who maintained that there was do such restriction applied to newspapers which might publish election talks even on the day of voting.

CHARLOTTETOWN, CANADA, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1956 NEW CHALLENGES FOR -EARLY ELECTION

. 77zeG'uardimz

OTTAWA (CP)-Bitter feelings in the Commons. dormant since the pipeline debate ended two weeks ago. came to the fore again Friday. together with renewed op- position cballenges for I speedy election.

Opposition leader Drew said the government forced the pipeline bill through by over-riding the rules and customs of Parliament with the "unfortunate co - opera- tion" of the chair.

He said Speaker Rene Beau. doln and Deputy Speaker W. A. Robinson had been made the "victims of the government's con. duct."

They had been "forced into I position of aubservlence to the will of the government in pushing through I measure which the gov. ernment had determined to have passed by this House no matter what took place and no matter what rule was broken."

"MORAL AUTHORITY" GONE Stanley Knowles, CCF spokes.-

man. said the government has taken away Parliament's "moral authority" to continue. Parlia- ment should be dissolved and I new one elected.

"It is not possible for I frec Parliament to have dong to it some of the things that were done in recent weeks and to carry on in the normal way." Mr. Knowles said.

John Dlefenbaker (PC-Prince Albert) made the debate's most outright demand for an election.

None of the demands by Con servative and CCF speakerka renewal of their challenges made during the three - week pipeline battle-were answered by the gov- ernment.

Trade Minister Howe inter jected at one point that the elec- tion challenges had been made "in I feeble kind of way."

"F e e b l e?" Mr. Dlefenbakei asked. 'What must we do? Tear 1,: the rules and walk over there and shove you out? . . . we sim-

it. You are afraid."

Finance Minslcr Harris, gov. ernment House leader. replied briefly in opposition charges that he had influenced rulings by the chair during the pipeline debate.

He reiterated an earlier Com- mons denial thni he had influ- enced the Spcakcr at any time.

PASS SUPPLY BILL

Friday's aftermath of the pipe- line fight arose as the govern- ment brought forwzird a bill to provide its treasury with a tem porary money siippl.v-3276.578; 000-to pay bills during July.

The bill was passed late in the

several other topics had been dis- cussed.

Most of the debate centred on actions of the government and of the chair during the pipeline debate In which the government met its June 7 deadline for pass- age of the bill to lend up to 380.- 000,000 to Trans - Canada Pipe Lines Ltd. for construction this

During the three weeks it was before the House. the govern- ment used closure at all four stages of its passage to choke off debate. The opposition countered with repeated challenges of the proceedings.

On June 1-a riay marked by wild scenes of uproar and opposi- tion revolt against the chair.- authority-Mr. Drew proposed a motion of ?erisur"3 El!ZilllSl Speaker Beaudoin, charlziiig him win. subordinating the Commons rights to the will of the govern- ment.

Mr. Drew said Mr. Howe de- nied the oppositions right to ap- pose the government by moving debate-limiting closure on the first speech of the pipeline de- bate. Mr. Harris had been "mainly A sponsible for the cir- cumstances" which led to the mo-

tions against Mr. Beaudoin and

Deputy Speaker Robinson.

He added that Prime Minister St. Laurent, as head of the gov- ernment, "must accept the full moral responsibility for the abomination which occurred here."

Dangerous precedents had been established during the debate The chair had repeatedly refused to hear members on points of order and questions of privilege.

Mr. Diefenbaker taunted tha- governmeut time and again to call an immediate elct-tion.

He said the opposition would even support a Spt-Cial "baby budget" now with tax culs. if that was wlizit the government wanted before an election.

"Go to the country. see if we cannot restore this institution and give it a heart and soul as it used to have rather than leav- ing it as it is . . . emasculated as I result of the actions of men who although they hold minister- ial positions and give lip service to democracy have attempted to destroy it in the last: few weeks."
