In Senate.

OTTAWA. Oct. 10 - (OP) - Benawr. T. D. Bouchard (Lt-Que- bec) said today in the Senate that, certain elements irl Quebec werei attempting to substitute for the system of free enterprise a "form of revolutionary socialism or Fasc- ist corporatiam."

"In tho Province cf Quebec ‘it 1a especially this latter panacea

that is offered to our various ills -

as a means of improving the stand- ard of living of middle classes.“ said Senator Bouchard.

"The Clifflpflflll whose object is to revive the corporativo system destroyed in 1709 by the French revolution. is being carried on

openly, and because it is patrori- '

ized by high personalities, its ad- versaries dnre not oppose it through public denunciation."

He said that before corporatlsm became a “religious dogma" that could not be discussed in Quebec he felt it his dutv to mention the efforts being made to "introduce this sort of econom-ic Fascism in our Province."

Senator Bouchard said that the Union Nationals Party now in power in Quebec bore the same name and was inspired by the same principles as the par (if Oiveiro Salazar. head of the Por- tugal republic. However, the Que- bec leader (Premier Maurice Dup- leais) was "completely lacking the great qualities of Salazar in the administration of public finances."

"I have mentioned the resemb- lance between the Union Nation- ale regime in Quebec with that oi‘ Salazar. which has favored the es- tablishment of corporatism among Portuguese," snid Senator Bouch- ard. “I may be blamed for having spoken as I have on this question which might be considered as a purely provincial matter. but I have now realized its intimate coh- nection with the Federal politics... It will be admitted that labor, fin-

matters of Fbderal jurisdiction.

“We all know that it would be absurd to submit our industries in Quebec to corporniist regime and leave those of other provinces? under that of free enterprise. The strongest adopts of corporatisln ale those who have publicly de- clared thenlsel-ves willing to make of the Province of Quebec a Catholic and French state."

(In a speech in the Senate in"

June. 1944. Senator Bouchard charged that a secret order of Jacques Cartier, with the sup- port of some of the Catholic

clergy. was striving to make Que- bec n Catholic and French slate.)

"Th-e anomaly which would ex- ist if nilr Province was under an industrial regime different from that‘ in existence in other Prov- inces. would disappear because it would be autonomous. Corporat-

By IYARCY OKDONNELL OTTAWA. Oct. i0 — (CP) Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today in the Commons that if the Fiederal Government passed legis- lation establishing a board of livestock commissioners action likely would be taken by some section of the trade or by the Provinces to have the legislation declared ultra vires. 'Those who were familiar with law claimed that the legislation which set up the board of grain commissioners in 1901 was ultra vires of ‘Parliament, but it never had been contested because most wheat was marketed outside the country.

Mr. Gardiner was one of the nine speakers heard during a debate on a resolution of William Bryce (CCF - Selkirk) calling for the establishment of a board of live- stock commissioners.

Debate on the resolution and the answering of quest-ions on the order paper occupied practically the whole sitting, devoted to priv- ate members’ business.

Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Bryco the speakers were Robert (BC-Battle River). J. W. Burton (CC! - Humboldt); Mark Senn (PC - Haldimand); LtrCol. J. A. Rosa (PC - Souris): Ma . E. D. Fulton (PC - Kamloorla): b- ert‘ McCuhbin (L . Middioaex West); and F. W. Tbwnley-Bmith (oer- . North Dattleford). Solo opposition to the resolu- tion oslie from sold rath-

good Job, there was a vast differ- ence between the handling of meat and the handling of wheat.

The commissioners had nothing (o do with the production or mar. ketlng of grain. They spotted rail- way cars and directed some of the movements of grain and their main Job was grading-setting the margin between the first, second and third grades.

The legislation appointing the commissioners was never contested because 70 per cent of the wheat was exported. The situation was not ille same with meat or milk or other farm products. Much these products was consumed in the province of origin and there- iorc the marketing was looked on as a provincial matter.

He felt that if livestock boards were set up they could best be op- erated constitutionally by the provinces in such places as Mont- real, Toronto. Vancouver, Winni- peg and other large cities where the major part of marketing was done.

Body 0f Baby Found 0n Railway Tracks

MONCTON, N. 8., Oct. l0 — (CPI - Royal Canadian Mount- od Police here are attempting to piece together thin threads of evidence indicating premature birth aboard the eastbound C. N. R. Maritime Express of a baby which was abandoned on the railway right of way.

A railway signals inspector to- day discovered the infant's body in a shoebox lying on‘ the tracks two miles east of Berry Mills, NB.

The body was brought here and an autopsy revealed that the child had been stillborn.

The theory that the infant was born aboard the passenger train, or at least thrown from the train was supported by the fact that a track crew passed the spot when‘ the body was found about eight o'clock and reported seeing noth- ing there at that time. The dis- covary was made shortly after the Maritime Express had pass-
