Arthur Meiglien. i (From our Own Corrcs/roudcut.) OT'I`l\\N1\, March 14. - The llousc ol' Commons was treated to- dayfto what the lion. Arthur M‘éigli'en described as a line play to the gallery. 'The debate on Sir \\'ilfrid Laurier's resolution for a shell inquiry was continued by the lion. Win. Pugsley, whose voice became familiar 'since sllells were first discussed this session. lt had been promised ‘that l\lr Pugslcy would do things. lie would “put it up to the (`ioverninet\t_” 'l`lie Prime Minister had promised an investigation of charges made against members of the Govern- ment if Mr Pugsley would make them. Liberal back bcnchers crowded into their seats e_\:pecting dramatic doings, a discoiniitcd Gov- ernment con fronted with charges oi' iraud_ Wliat they heard was :ui old familiar story. Mr Pugslcy made his charges-tliat is to say. he registered a series of itemized complaints, all of them old, and prefa.ced»the-list-\vitl1 the oniinpiisly forinafzphiasezmi, William Ptigsley. 2. nieiiiber of this House, on my responsibility as a- member,” etc._ The charges were that the Shell Coiniiiittce had fixed excessive prices ;‘that,the excess amounted to $80,000,000; that members of the Conimittee' paid these prices to con_ip_anies iii which they had inter- es__ts;» that there had been delay in sending shells, to the f rout" and that fuse- coiitraets »lct< to United States firms- with the' eoiinivance of thc` Minister 'of ' Militia, were uiiwisc and- i_inprov_ideiit_ Mr Pugsley ex- ldoned slandcrers.’ The debate was ‘hc made no charge of fraud. _ Hon. Arthur Mcighen, who fol- lowed the St John itieiiiber, pointed out that the so-called charge against Sir Sain 1-Iughes contained only \vl|at had been said against _the 'Minister of Militia by the Opposi- tion ever since the Government took office. It had becli dressed tip to'imprcss tlicgallcry. The charge with respect to the fuse contract was no charge at all, and thc letting of shell contracts by the -Comniittcc to companies in which they held stock was recogiiizcddiy law. ~ Mr Meiglieii passed from the Pugslcy “charges” and devoted some tinie'to a detailed correction of the iuore notable errors in the fotir-liotir speech of Mr F. 1').
