Following is the report of the re- marks of Mr. J. Watson Mac- Naught, M.P., for Prince, on the freight rates issue as reported in Hansard of April 22:

Mr. J. W. ‘MacNaught (Prince): It ls not my intention. Mr. speak er. at this isle stage of the debate f0 "delay the House for more than a few minutes. I feel, however, that I should make just; a few rc-‘ marks on this most important sub- iect. Almost without exception every speaker so far has reiterated the fact that the railways are en- titled to additional revenue. Most. of the oppcsitoin seems to be dir- ected fnward the fact that the government did not prevent the order from going into effect at once. The opposition members,

Mafitimes, have stated time and again that editorial opinion in the Maritimes is directed against the" increase. I consider it important now that I should. point out. that- sn editorial recently appearing in the Charlotteixiwn‘ Patriot, and written by the Hon. Cyrus Mac- millan. one of the members of the Duncan commission, whose report has Just been quoted with much approval» in this House. is just to the opposite effect. This editorial appeared on April i9, and I shall make one or, two brief quotations from it: 4

"The decision of the Board of Transport Commissioners to allow the railways an increase in freight rates of 2i per cent—"

Mr. Graydon: This was ruled on yesterday, Mr. speaker. .

Mr. MlcNaught: I continue:

“—n0t 30 par cent as the rail- ways requested, is still causing wide discussion, much of it iii- ‘considercd, uninformzd and some of it bordering on illogical hys- teria in its prophecy of result-J’

Mr. Graydon: Once again I say this was ruled on yesterday.

Mr. Mac-Naught: I continue:

“Protests against the increase of rates are still loud _and at times inaccurate in their implications.”

Mr. Graydon: I rise to a point of order.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: What is the point of order?

Mr. Leflage: There is no point of order. The hon. member for Peel (Mr. Grsydon) is trying to be smart.

Mr. Graydon: No one seems to have recognized the point of order involved. I should think Your Honour would, because it was your ruling yesterday.

‘Mr. Deputy Speaker: I Just came into the chair.

Mr. Graydon: I understand that. For that reason, perhaps I had bet-- tor bring Your Honour up to date. Yesterday the hon. member for King's (Mr. Grant) attempud, I think he said. to paraphrase and I take him at his word. I always taks his word. But in any event, he said he was going to paraphrase an edi- torial which was written by Cyrus MacMillan and which, I undet- atand, suited. some of my hon. friends on the other side of tbs House. He was about to road it into the record, but Your Honour refused him that’ privilege, and I think perhaps nreiierly ae- Bu= I dc not think this editorial-

Mk. Grant: I did not read it.

m, Graydon: gust eminuin It would be nice to bear the hon. member, but I should like to go further in my remarks. -

m. Deputy Speaker: Order.

Mr. Graydon: It seems to me that w! should not allow this I'll- tosial to take night around from one member to another in order to have it read. I should think what is sauce fcs the gocee should be" sauce for the gander. I august that goose and gander gulht l0 ll‘- treated. alike.

acquiescence of the liouse, allowed a member to proceed to read pal-- sages from a newspaper. In 193%, when a member was called to cr- der for reading an extract from n. uevzspaper, the Speaker stated that on former occasions when he had attempted to enforce this rule, zic had been overruled by the House."

And again. notation 263:

"Speaker Brand decided on Jilzie 8, 1878, and his decision seems to have settled the point, that a mem- ber is not out of order in reading a newspaper article oii which ‘no proposes to found a motion."

are debating something over which the House at that time baa no control.

Mr. Deputy Speaker? There is a

there is always a proceeding of some kind before the House. That proceeding is an amendment t.» u"; motion to go into supply. During ' this debate the Speaker has ruled that commentaries. from sources ‘outside the House, on what is oak. ing place in the House at the pre- sent time, are not in order: and I think the House should abide by that ruling.

Mr. Gardiner: Just to get the point, of order clear, I have not read the editorial-

Mr. Graydon: Have you read the rules? " _ ~

Mr. Gardiner: Yes, I have, but I submit that the editorial, as I understand it, is not affected by the ruling the Speaker has given. I understand that the editorial contained a comment on the de- cision of the government to accept the judgment of the railway board. That is not discussing something which is taking place in this House at the present time.

(Later):

IMr. MacNaught: Notation 264 points out-that it is out of order to read extracts in a debate under certain conditions, and goes on to enumerate the occasions. I sub- mit that none of those applies to the point in issue, and therefore l insist that I am perfectly in order in reading this extract.

Mr. Graydon: On s. point cf order-

Mr. Graydon: Yes. another one. I wish to state that I should not. like, to see hon. gentlemen oppos~ its reflect on the decision made by Your Honour yesterday, and I hope they will not persist in ‘doing so. Your Honour ruled clearly on that point.

Mr. Deputy Speaker: The hon. member for Prince (Mr. Mac- Naught) has quoted the speaker's ruling in 1856, and I note the fol lowing:

". . . .the Speaker stated that on former occasions when he had at- tempted to enforce this ruic. . . ."

‘Therefore the rule must have been in existence; otherwise he

could not have attempted to en- force lt. But at that time he was overruled by the House. If the House wishes to hate read editor- ials commenting on what is tak- ing place in the House I have no objection. But I think_the Tlsal is clear that members may quote an article which is merely a state- ment of fact; and I now read from Beauchesiie, third edition, the latter part of notation 266:

“Members may quote an article or a book stating facts, but a coni- mentcry on any proceeding or any discussion in the House, with the object of swinging an opinion to one side‘ or the other. is out of order."

If the hon. member for Prince wants to quote an editorial which ‘merely states facts, I would not ooject. But if it is a commentary on what. has taken place in the House, I do not think it is within the rules. »

Mr. Graydon: It is a commen-

Mr. Deputy Speaker: If it is a comm itary on what is taking place in the House I do not thick it ls in order. -

Mr. Macflaught: I have only this to say, Mr. Speaker, with re- spect to the citation you have road. It has been properly pointed 'outH , '

Some hon. members: Order.

Mr. MacNaught: 1 cm speaking to the point of order. ‘

Mr. Graydon: It has been dc- cidcd; the speaker ruled it cut of order. '

Mr. MccNaught: I am not rais- ing a point of order; I amen-ek- ing- to the point. The citation re- fers to "any proceedings in the House." I submit that we are de- bating something with which the

An hon. member: Another one’).

Mr. Deputy Speaker: My ruling is that ccmmentai-i- by parties or persons outside the House on what is taking place within the Hous" st the present time are not in order

Mr. MacNaught: I was practical- ly through with the quotation when the point of order was rats- ed. The concluding sentence of the first paragraph is: i

“In response to these protests the government has taken the most. reasonable action.”

I wish also to quote one sentence from another editorial appearing in the Sydney Post-Record. ‘a newspaper not noted for its friend- liness toward the present govcni- ment. The first sentence in the third paragraph reads:

"In its decision not to interfere. with the increase in railway freight rates, the Federal Govern- ment stands on solid ground." "

While I am on my feet, Mr. Speaker. I would refer to one other point. There seems to be much confusion iii the Marttimes as to the effect of this decision on the benefits accruing under the Mai-i- time Freight Rates Act. I am
