The Fowler Outburst (Saint John TeletzraDh-Journal) It would seem that, one R, M, Fowler. or Toronto. who held a somewhat minor position in rue Rowell-Sirois Commission, has I411;- eti upon l1imse.f the entire iesoutis- ibrlitv tor forcing the tu-ovisioiis of U115 yeii-Orl: down the throats of one provincial irovemments of Catiadu. Hi5 most recent effort was in reply to an address by Arthur W, Roe. buck, in uthtch that gentleman was token to task for dziriniz to express an opinion which mtizht be lute;- preted as antagonistic to the find- imls of the Struts Commission. For those who do not know him. we may explain that Mr. Roebuck is a former attorney-general for On. tario. and is at the moment a mem- ber of the Canadian House of Cununotis. That; a man in his no- sitiun should have the teineritv to even question the findings of the Sirois Commission must have startl- ed Mr. Fowler as auDarentlv it. is not. in the latters Judgment, proper that a mere member of Parliament in this countrv should even think oi speaking out in meeting. and com- mit. the still greater offence of cx- pressing his own opinion in regard to aoocument as sacred as the Sirois Report. _ _ In his effort to force the fmdinits of the Sirois Commission down the throats of the provincial rzovern- merits OI Canada, Mr. Fowler old not hesitate to attack the credit of seven or eight oi the nine DFOVIIZC€S of this country. He also indulged in an absoiutelv uniustitied and uti- truthfui attack on conditions in the province of New Brunswick and oc- cused the izovernment. of this pro- vince of allowing New BfllflSll/ICK children "to 2o tineducateo and dis- eased.” _ In an editorial published some days s20 in this newsoaner. weyex- pressed the CDlillOIl that. the find- ings of the Sircls Report. shoud not be fullv etidcrsco or fullv condemn- ed.
