His political work and influenuc have been more behind the scenes than in the chamber itself. Associates Among hi5 close politics: friends are Prime Minister Ramsay Mac- L Donald, Stanley Baldwin, L. C. Amery, a former Secretary for Daminions, and many cf the most prominent membas of the House of Commons. , l-lis speeches in the House have been few, but his close interest in all Dominion and colonial affairs is well known and. his appointment to a. governmental office in con- nection with the Dominicns or col- vonies would not have caused sur- prise. His interest dates from his experience, early in his career, as pflVfltQ secretary to Lord _Mllner when the latter was High Commis- sioner for South Africa. from 1901 to 1903. If his appointment is confirmed, Bnehan will be the first Governor- Geheral of Canada not chosen from among the ranks of the peer- age, or of the Royal Family itself. To: the past. two years he has ND- resented His Majesty as 10rd High Commissioner for the Church of Scotland Assembly at Edinburgh.

He suggested that the prlce be fixed to schooners at buying Points. In the case of potatoes some by the ‘mleroriw’ the price should be fixed higher, he thought. I-le also pointed out that brokers cannot sell in small lots. They must sell in car load or steamer load lots.

Speaking later he suggested that the price for outside vessels coming here for potatoes be fixed at the point of loading, Several other speakers also suggested this, some advocating that the price be fixed here for local cmft as well. Mr. Frank Clark also suggested that the trade discontinue shipping in bulk to Canadian points. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are dis- continuing shipping in bulk, he said, and thought this province should do the same. Mr. Gems Poole, Lower Monta- gue pointed out that many small schooner-s could not carry enough potatoes in bags to pay the freight. He thought that wtting out ship- Dlng in bulk would cut out most of the small craft. Captain White claimed that many who buy from the achooners are fishermen and often the-v. dc not want to pay the extra price for the bag. Many of the schooner-s load in bulk in the fall and in bags in the searing. He pointed out that the small schooners do not usually sellers, such as “Greenmarztlrfl and "The Thirty Nine Steps." Many of his novels deal with his intelligence activities during the war. He is fond of outdoor sports. Most. members of the House ve- fused to make any comment pend- ing official announcement of the appointment and Mr. Buchan hlm- self declied to say anything. George Lansbury, leader of the labor op- position, said he thought. the ap- pointment of M: Buchan would be a very good appointment. Earl Wintcrton said that if true, it. would be "a most admirable ap- pointment-it couldn't be better." Japanese Diet Adjourns (C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) TCIKYO, March 26-10.

Creation of o. public finance coun- cil representing municipalities, pro- vinces and the Dominion to super- vise public financing and lead the way in reducing debt changvs tn Canada, was urged by Col. Balaton. He placed the combined public debt of the country at 80.114.000.000 a mortgage on every manjwoman and child. "I submit," he said, "it would be good common sense, good business. good government, for all concerned to apply their minds to the forma- tion of some organisation which I have suggested, for want. of a better name. be called "a public finance council. It clock PROVISION S~ “In that respect, I am not aug- gesting the setting up of any super- board. I am speaking of an organiz- ation formed of representatives of those concerned. This council ought to have first the power and oppor- tunity of considering the great prob- lem ofgrefunding and lightening the burden of interest on loans already affected: Secondly, of considering the wisdom of further borrowings and the capacity of the ltizens to feet of further borrowings on the credit of the constituent members of this council; Illourthly. and this is most important, the orderly offering and marketing o: public issues." The Bennett Government was ac- cused of strangling Canada‘: trade in its five years of office and of drying up industrial wells. The bud- get reduced liquor taxes but retain- ed the 25 per cent tax on sugar and its surtax was a mere pittance on blg incomes. The Liberal financial critic predicted a net deficit of $185,000,000 nextyear, to add to the $812,000,000 increase in the debt since 1830. WHEAT OPERATION! Turning to wheat operations in the Winnipeg pit through John I. McFarland, head of the central scl- llng agency of the wheat pools, Col. Ralstan said it had resulted in Can- ada losing markets in the United Kingdom. McFarland, he said, star- ted operations in 1981 with 75.000.- 000 bushels of wheat from the pre- vious yearb crop. Instead of ceiling, he bought and today his holdings cloud. In 1038, he said. McFarland star- ted tobuy wheat -- “a transaction which, I submit, had the effect of rank speculation on the Dart of the Dominion.» speculation with the money og the people of the country." The McFarland operations, Col. Ralston charged, were not initiated to help the western farmer "but for the eventual glonfication of Mr. McFarland and this government." In 1083 a pegged price was institu- ted with the result Australia and Argentina captured the United Kingdom market from Canada and the government, through its hold- ings of wheat. became a market competitor of the farmer.

Mr. Leo's 1034 Suggestion In 1028, he complained, a com- petent offictal in the Agricultural Department had been dismissed by the Conservatives who had put "a party supporter in his place," and the same thing had happened in Mr. Boulters case.

But the history has been that it is very hard to promote that in this Prov- ince becaule our farmers appur- mtly are not unarmed enoulh to carry it on." Earlier in his reimrks, Mr. ‘Lea had criticised the Governmen‘ for not resuming the CCW-Wllilnl pol- icy a you ago, rather than on the eve of the, election. l-Ie thm Went on to ask how the Government proposed to make it a success.

The regula- tions had not hem observed in On- tario but he understood that in this Province a dealer had already lost‘ his license. | Too great a differential in the| pegged price of Island , M, compared with New Brunswick and Ontario had been established.

Mr. Sharp: "Have yW I Nmedy?” Mr. Lea maintained it was not for flu Opposition to suggest 19111911183 but for the Government to take ac- tion. After reviewing the affairs of the Potato Growers’ Association and of the severance of Mr. Boulterb con- nection with the Alricultural De- partment, Mr. Lea criticised the Government. for inconsistency in the matter of expenditures, after pledg- ing themselves to economy in the election campaign. He also criticised the “little regiment" of Mounted Police who have replaced the former Provincial Police.
