in Mr. Strong in the chair, on
second reading of the following Sup-

year 1933. -

Mr. LePa.ge asked if there had
been any estimate received for re-
constructing the east wing of Fal-
tonwuod Hospital. _
lion. Dr. MacMillan: “The esti-
mates submitted are from $100,000
to $115,000 and we propose to tell
them it will have to be cut more;
that all we can spend is $90,000.
Mr. McIntyre approved of the
expwiditure of $00,000 for recon-
structing the east wing but he was
"miller alarmed" to see $215,000
v cd in supplementary estimates.
£ Main Estimates, he maintained.

. MONEY N01' WASTED
I-Ion. Dr. MacMillan denied that
this money had been thrown
a/way uselessly on Falconwood
plana. Last year it was generally
realized that the Prince of Wales
College would cost between $200.-
000. and $300,000 and that Fal-
conwood Hospital would cost about
three-quart/ers of a million. Pro-
vision was made for borrowing this
amount and no objection was
taken to the amount by members
of the Opposition. It was in the
minds of everyone that it would
be necessary to build a. proper
institution for the ca-re of the in-
sane. It was only during the Fall
and Winter that the feeling de-
veloped that this was not possible.
Meanwhile, ,the Government had
gone ahead getting plans for an
institution that would be a real
mental hospital. The Govemment
had received the advice of the
Mental Hygiene Council of Can-
ada: they were told what the min-
imum cost would be and the archi-
tect was instructed to prepare the
plans accordingly. It was incor-
rect to say that the expenditure on
these 'plans was “wasted money."
"What we are doing now." the
speaker explained, "is only a make-
shift. There is going to be no
adequate attempt made to provide
proper facilities for treatment. In
other words, we are not going to
have a mental institution at all.
If in the future the Province is able
to build such an institution, how-
ever, it will know exactly what is
required, and the plans will be avail-
able. Moreover, the plans will be
serviceable in reconstruction of the
east wing this year. The arrange-
ment made with the architect was
on a basis of 5 per cent commis-
sion. and the architect was to pay
for the inspection of the work.
Some criticism had been offered
that too much was paid to the ar-
chitect on the Prince of Wales
College plans by paying 6 per cent;
but this arrangement included the
‘obligation on the architect of look-
ing after the heating and plumlng.
In most contracts of this kind the
work is generally divided; there is
USUBUY 4 1-2 per cent paid for gen-
eral architects fees, and 2 1-2 per
cent for looking after heating and
ipluimiblngz so that the fee runs up
to six or seven per cent.
Referring again to Fsloonwood
plans, Dr. Macilviillan pointed :ut
that revision of plans ln works of
this kind was not infrequent. The
tl'l1Sl»€€S of the Prince Edward Is-
land Hospital found themselves in
the same position: they had to re-
vise their plans three times. That
does not mean that the money was
wasted. The Govemment has tried
£0 d0 the Very best it could under
the circumstances. It must not be
forgotten that every one was under
the impression, a year ago, that it
would be a good thing to go one-ad
with the construction of iw. mental
hospital that would meet the re-
quirements of modern conditions.
All at once there came a change
in public opinion, and the net re-
sult has been a cutting down of the
plans to the very minimum, of re-
pairing the old building.
Mr. Mblntyre maintained the ar-
chitects on Prince of Wales College l
had received too much commission'
and the ooncensus of opinion was'
that the old foundation was good'
enough. Before it was completed
Prince of Wales College, would nm
close upon 8400.000. He approved
of mofing the cast wing of Fai-[
oonwwod, but he thought they
should have rooted the west wing
as well, the walls of which, he
maintained, were in good shape
until they had been tom down.
However, if the Government keeps
down the expenditure on the east
wing “lt won't be so bad." The
Govemment, however, ‘should hold
the architect dofvm to plans in-
volving the expenditure of a speci-
fied amount of money.
CITES LIBERAL EXPENDITIJRES

- 
The wor1d’s economic plight
would be the main subject of the
disarmament in the background and
war debts dovetailed to the nego-
tiations now being conducted by
Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British
Ambassador.
Mr, MacDonald's visit is an ln-
direct result of his recent talks
with Norman H. Davis the Ameri-
sume time here before going to
Paris, where he is now holding dis-
cusslons with foreign statesmen.
The Prime Minister. wanted to go
to Washington earlier but the
banking crisis in the United States
intervened.
With European problems pressing,
his only opportunity to make the
trip will be during the Easter par-
liamentary recess, which lasts from
April 13 to April 25.
A statement by President Roose-
velt expressing hope that the Prime
Minister would visit him was inter-
preted here as meaning that no
new formal invitation was neces-
sary. Great Britain was advised in
February that British statesman
would be welcome at Washington
to discuss debts and other prob-
lems.
The provisional plans of Mr.
MacDonald, it was understood to-
night, entail his departure on the
Berengaria April 15 accompanied by
his daughter Ishbel and three
treasury officials, Sir Frederick
Leith-Ross, Sir Frederick Philips
and S. D. Waley.
It was said that it is only a co-
incidence that Sir Walter Layton,
noted economist, is proceeding to
America on the same ship.
(By F. G. Vosburg, Associated Press
Staff Writer)
WASHINGTON; April 5-Presid-
out Roosevelt looked forward to-
night to receiving soon a dis-
tinguished guest-Prime Minister
Ramsay MacDonald of Great Brit-
ain-for a series of man-to-man
conversations on the great econom-
ic and disarmament problems fac-
ing their nations and the world.
The President. who has a liking
for direct, personal diplomacy, said
in a brief statement issued from
the White House he felt a. visit by
Mr. MacDonald to Washington
would be "helpful_"
In London, meanwhile, provision-
al arrangements were made for Mr.
MacDonald to sail for the United
States about the middle of the
month on a fast flying visit during
the Easter recess of the»Hou.se of
Commons. '
How far war debts will enter in-
to the discussion was not disclosed
but Mr. Roosevelt long ago express-
ed his willingness to receive a Brit-
ish representative and hear ~his
case for revision of these much
discussed obligatons.
The White House statement auth-
orized by the President said:
"In the course of informal ex-
changes of views between the Brit-
ish and ourselves regarding the
general economic situation and the
problem of dlsannament the Pres-
ident has felt that a. visit to Wash-
ington by the Prime Minister would
be helpful.
“The President ever since his
first conversation with the British
Ambassador at Warm Springs has
emphasized his hope that the Prime
Minister could come over.”
In a memorable visit .to this
coutnry in the spring of 1929,
Prime Minister MacDonald walked
with President Hoover beside the
waters of the Rapldan and seated
on a fallen mountain log, laid
plans for the Disarmament Con-
ference held in London later in
that year.
The projected Rnosevelt-Mac-
Doiia`d conservations are expected
to be just as informal and to have
n slnilar bearing upon thc econo-
mic conclave which the Roosevelt
ndininistration regards as of vital
importance.
Regardless of whether other for-
eign cabinet members come to
Wash’ngton, thc Roosevelt admin-
Tstratlon plans to go ahead with
discussions through regular dip-
lomatic channels and with techni-
cal experts as part of the plan for
insuring general co-operation at
London.
France has agreed to prelimin-
ary conversations and today its new
Ambassador, Andre De La Beulaye.
left Paris for Wash'ngton. He is'
perssnally acquainted with Presl-
dent Roosevelt.

'.li0RON’I0,‘ April 5-Hon. G.
Howard Ferguson, Canadian High
Commissioner to the United King-
dom, will sail for Canada next Sat-
urday, the Canadian Press learned
tonight on good authority. It is
understood Mr_ Ferguson planned
to sail today but was delayed by
last-minute pressure of business.
The specific reasons for Mr.
Ferguson’s retum was not revealed.
He made a combined business and
pleasure trip to the Dominion last
year.'
A Sllszestlon Mr. Ferguson might
be urged to resume the leadership
of the Ontario Conservative party,
in the event of Premier George S.
Henry's resignation, was discount-
ed by a. prominent member of the
party.
“Will Mr. Ferguson visit Toronto
in connection with recent develop-
ments in the Conservative party?"
the Canadian Press asked.
"He will visit Toronto, but posi-
tively he will not assume leadership
of the provincial party again," was
the reply. ~
Despite recurring reports that he
contemplated resigning owing to lll
health, Premier Henry has stead-
fastly denied them, declaring he
would "stick as long as the people
want me."
