'Mani0n (YITAWA, Feb. l3—(GP)—Con- servu-tive leader Manion today pierfled the Conservative Party to the principle that no profits should be made in the supply oi munitions to the Canadian Gov- emment. He did so in his second speech in the House oi Commons debate o the Bren gun contract and at e same time declared no amwer had been made to cpposi- tion criticism. Labor Minister Rogers in reply mm the Opposition was ready to delay further investigation oi the contract and s0 suspic- ion of the kind which undermin- ed the isaiulness of zovernment services. He was referring to Con- servative opposition to the PIO- _ to investigate the contract in the public accounts committee. Today was the sixth clay 0i the debate which storied when Grant MacNeii (C.
