     more than $1,500,000 was texpeutleti

     as to entl patronage in appoint:

     efficiency, was in full force. 
     
    

    
     Let me give a few illustrations of 
     
     the overmsnning of departments. 
     
     Canada has a permanent militia 
     
     force of 2.500 men. She has no Air 
     
     Force worthy of the name. A1111 
     
     she has a three trawler fleet. Yet 
     
     according to the return supplied to 
     
     Mr. Crerar in the House last ses- 
     
     sion (a return which quite clearly 
     
     erred on tits side of conservatism) 
     
     it took 253 permanent Ottawa of- 
     
     ficials to look after these 2.500 
     
     soldiers and to administer that 
     
     three trawler fleet; anti for their 
     
     services the country paid them 
     
     tapart altogether from the expendi- 
     
     ture on rentals anti fuel and all 
     
     other ovcrheatii no less than S403,-

     ced from the realities of the needs 
     
     of Canadian trade; that. in a word 
     
     it is of little or no service to the 
     
     development of Canada's coin- 
     
     nierce. Well, if that be so. it is 
     
     not because the Deparment of
