'I‘lme‘ certainly brings changes! time, not wishing to prejudice our case with tho United States, which nation is at the moment reported to be considering more cordial trade relations with us. Such a resolution might be good party politics, but not good national politics, Mr. Rhodes said. Whereupon Mr. Stqwart alâ€" lowed the motion to stind. Tommy Church urged the House of Commons to do something about tha appalling list of motor accidents on our highways. . He thought the Criminal Code might be tightened up. Certainly his careful presentation of the subject made it clear that someâ€" thing definite should be done. Many members spoke, the Minister of Railâ€" ways suggesting additional funds be provided for the elimination of grade crossings. The Minister of Justice, Mr. Guthrie, stated that stiffer punâ€" ishments had not improved matters in England. He thought an enquiry was not advisable. A cancellation of license was suggested as being more effective than fines or jail sentences. Mr Church did not press the motion. A numbor of interesting things happened this week. The ‘big boys‘ lost their tempers on the unemployâ€" ment bill, calling each other names. Tha latest move in the party game is the taking of private members day by the government. It looks like a short session, with some talk of pro rogation at Easter. What I said was "In the city of Owen Sound people have actually been kept waiting", etc. I am seryvâ€" ing notice on the Editor that I take no responsibility for the last four. Poople, being plural, may mean two, but certainly not six. . And so there you are, Mr Editor, the four are still on the steps. How do you get them down ? I will lend you my hairshirt the pebbles, accompany.you up the stops and cheer you on when y« stand . to make a publ statement, Goodwill cannot go further, (No ons was kept wa‘ting for admission ) All of which is as involved as the difficulty of another member of the House of Commonsâ€"less open to consure than Iâ€" who criticized judâ€" ges for delayed judgments. The story ran like this: The member on the estimates for judges‘ salaries, complained that certain judges alâ€" lowed five and six years to elapse before they brought their judgments on certain cases down. The Hon. membor protested, saying some judâ€" ges are very guilty in this regard. When the unrevised Hansard came to his desk he thought ‘some‘ as apâ€" plied to humans did not sound qui ths thing and changed it to ‘several‘ which was printed in revised Hanâ€" sard as ‘seven.‘ A controversy arose in the press as to who they were and eventualiy seven judges were named by editorial writers. Then as proof that judges have a conscience which pursues, the seven wrote letters of viclent protestation, which even an explanation on the floor of the House did not wholly clear up. One of th judges departed this life without eversspeaking to the Hon. member aâ€" gain. (But thé Editor and I are friends.) | Miss Macphail‘s Weekly Letter steps on my knees and allâ€"over the kospital incident, the Owen Sound Sunâ€"Times carries an editorial sayâ€" ing: "Two weeks ago an Ottawa de spatch reported Miss Macphail as having said that ‘Six people were reâ€" cently kept waiting on the steps of the Owen Sound hospital, refused adâ€" mission until they could satisfy the hospital they could pay for treatâ€" House of Commons Ottawa, Feb. 16th, 1935.

Mayor McGeer of Vancouver, who is a monetary reformer, has asked the bondholders to meet him in disâ€" cussion. He wanted then to suspend fifty per cent. of the interest payâ€" ment. They refused.

They are asking the Ontarâ€" io government to carry the first namâ€" ed figure in the hope that they can take cure of the second. Since 1931 Hamilton has issued debentures to pay for relief and at the end of 1934 the dobt on this account alone was $4,625,000, â€" Should they not need to spend any further money for the same purpose â€" which is a vain hope â€" the interest charges by 1937 for relicf alone will be $800,000. The total debt of the city of Montâ€" real is two hundred and AftyfAve million dollars, or a hundred million more than that of the Province of Alberta:. The interest charges amount to $13 million yearly. Vancouver has hod of issue, and what it is to be based on â€"â€" will have to be considâ€" ered anew in the face of developing events.

The two parties, with the solitary exception of John Angus MacMillan, Liberal, Manitoba, voted against the resolution. it, to dctermine the volume, ing faculties, including both : the chartered banks and the central bank, should be nationalized as speedily as possible. In enlarging the theme he stated: "I am not adâ€" vocating the taking over of the charâ€" tered banks with their capital stock and their huge palatial buildings on the most expensive corners of the various cities. I am advocating the nationalization of the faculties, the taking from the banks of the power they now have of dispensing credit (making money out of nothing). That power was granted to them by an Act of this Parliament; that powâ€" er _ can be taken from them in the same way......If we secure control of these institutions, we will be free to reâ€"organize the whole financial structure . on a. goods and services basis instead of on a theoretical metâ€" allic basis, which, although largely discardod throughout the world, still limits the operation of finance in this country, I think no one will deny that to day finance is the most imâ€" portant instrument of reform."
