~_0'l‘_'1‘AWA, April 11-Mr. McKenzie, Cape Breton, resumed discussion o the closure resolution this afternoon

He said the last. occasion when the

“Previous question" was moved was on 1885 during 'a debate on the Rell trial. It is now being moved to deprive the Opposition of their rights and liberties. The ninth of April would go down in history as a day of a double tragedy, because po- litical murder had been committed, the Prime Minister had committed political suicide.

The Cape Breton member argued that the new rules should not be passed because they were intended to bring about the adoption of a mea- sure of which people did not ap- prove.He objected to the introduction of cloure under the circumstances. Hs said the people of Canada would show their disapproval by returning Liberals to office at the next elec- tion.

Mr. W. M. German argued the ne-

cessity of some means of .limiting the debate but thought there was n vasf difference between limiting the de- hhte and applying the Guillotine as now proposed. Under the new rules the _bill could be railroaded through parliament in one day. It was a steamroller with a vengeance and the people would not stand for it. Libe- rals. be declared, did not intend to submit. to gag rule. If the Senate did not pass the Naval Aid Bill, he concluded, Mr-. Borden, in view o. the pledge given in a speech in Mon- treal, would be obliged to go to the country.

Mr. Nesbitt, North Oxford, declared

the Naval Aid Bill should go to the people and the -roi.-<u~_i.1iuit sllunld have submitted the closure resolution to a special committee of the house.

In tha evening Messrs. Sinclair and

Bowen spoke. ‘

'Ilhe House adjourned at 10 o'cloclt. Hon. Frank Oliver has floor and

will be first speaker to-morrow.

(Special to The Guardian)

OT'l'AWA, April 11.--There is no

situation left. Prorogation is a mat- ter of \veeks only. Officially the Op- position is saying nothing as to the course which will be followed next week. Unnflicially it is freely admit- ted that the fight is over and the government has in its hand s weapon against which no obstruction cani continue. Liberals fully realize and admit thestrengtlr of the_.Conserve.-. tfves"'posftfbn. The talk now is of n vote on the closure resolution by the middle of next week, perhaps earlier, with a division on the Naval Bill following within a. reasonable time, probably on a fixed date.

There seems to be a very general belief that the Senate I/iberals will not take the responsibility of throw- ing out the Naval Bill. The Ottawa Free Press, the Liberal organ at the capital, a paper which has consist- ently urged on the obstructionists, and. which recently advised the Op- position to light the closure consti-

tion put by Dr. Dewar he expressly stated that there was no law clerk, and that the sum paid Messrs. Mc- Leod and Bentley included work lor- merly done by the law clerk. The statement made by the Patriot was absolutely false. Moreover the at- tempt to fasten blame upon Mr. Bentley personally was also unfair and misleading. The work was done by the firm of McLeod and Bentley. The sum of $10 for advising the At- torney-General was incurred in this way. There was a case oi nuisance between Dr. Dewar and Mr. Aubrey, Mutch, and they came to him to see that the health officer should take action. He advised that he dill not think it was the dllty of that officer to do so, but as they were not satis- fied he suggested they should take the advice of counsel, and recom- mended them to go to Messrs. Mc-' Leod and Bentley. The firm gave the advice asked for and it was for that the sum of $10 was charged. The sum of $250 was for prohibition cases, and it was due to this that prohibition cases had been so suc- cessful in this county. He should like to mention that it was nothing new for this firm to be employed by tho Government. He held in his hands accounts from them for work done for the Haszard' Government, in-‘ cluding $25 and $80 for advising the Attorney General.

MR. McWILLIAMS asked for de-

tails of expenses in connection with the delegation to Ottawa in Febru- ary, 1912, re claims of this Province against the Dominion appearing on page 33 of the Public Accounts.

BENEFIT TO FARMERS

MR. ’l‘IDl\1ARCH, who spoke on be-

‘half of the Board of Trade, said he helievcd if the government introduced a measure providing the necessary safeguards it would meet with very little opposition. The City Council had obtained power in -their new amendments to the act of incorpora- tion to run motor vehicles, and he did not sec why the merchants should not have thc some privileges. There was no place in Canada so far behind the times in this respect than this province. ` _He urged that automobiles could be made of great benefit to farmers sit- uated some distance from the railwayf and also in opening up communica- tion throughout the country. Let the Government Lay on whatever restric- tions they liked, let them begin slow- ly, run the automobiles under the strictest regulations, but_let them in- troduce s. hill to give those in favour of automobiles a measure of liberty.
