tlion. Due to the determined att!-- tude of the companies' representa-- tives, legislative action was a neces-- sary prelude to negotiation, but can-- cellation itself was never intended as a permanent fixture. It was merely a means to an end, and the only means we possibly could have exercised that would have achieved the result we sought." Mr. Houck said he could not be-- lieve that Mr. Roebuck could have been sincere "in the theories and policies" which he had propounded in the House on Wednesday. "For one who professes much sympathy for the man with a dinner pail," said he, "I would suggest that he (Mr. Roebuck) comes perilously close to emptying their dinner pail for them. Power is industry, and industry is employment, and I will leave it to members of this honorable House to consider just where that equation leads." Mr. Houck advocated the estab-- lishment by the Governments of Canada and the United States of some Commission of competent authorities whose rulings on ques-- tions of boundary water agree-- ments and international difficulties would be considered final and bind-- ing. In this way, Mr. Houck be-- lieved, speedy settlement could be given to problems which now were held up because of "red tape" and obstacles common to Governments. He recalled, too, that Mr. Roe-- buck held the seat of one who was once an embarrassment to 'the Government and who was wiped out by a redistribution bill. "I warn you," he said, "history sometimes repeats itself." Mr. McBrien said that the most Important thing in the Throne Speech to him was the reference to rural power expansion and the 13,000 new customers. "It is a won-- derful policy and I hope the Con-- servative Party will go further and abolish the rural service charge en-- tirely." "Even in the old days this was known as the 'Bad Boys' Row," he claimed. "There they were directly under the eye of the Prime Minis-- ter on the theory vigilance was the price of safety." | "You're the one who will have to worry about the next one," Mr. Mc-- Brien retorted. '"Wait until the next one," sug-- gested Mr. Hepburn. "It was," he said sadly, "the toughest election I ever went through." In traditional form, he uttered traditional expressions of congratu-- lation to this one and to that one to a slightly bored House which came to attention suddenly as he thanked the Government for not having spent any more money in his riding at election time or other-- wise he would not have won his seat. He brought to bear also his pro-- fessional knowledge on the driving problem and contended that it was imperative, since the Government had increased the speed limit, to strenghten penalties to curb drunk-- en and reckless driving. On the third point, already mentioned by Prefier Hepburn before and during the current session, the member de-- clared in general terms that there should be legislation that would prevent "wealthy millionaires® evading tax payments by the for-- mation of outside holding compa-' nies or withdrawal to a foreign re--| treat. Mr. McBrien, who first entered the House in 1923, early in his ad-- dress, assumed the mantle of an elder statesman and in rapid--fire comment alternately sent shafts of criticism into the Government benches and spoke of legislative matters past and present. Awakens Legislators. The Toronto member, himself a lawyer, pressed most vigirously for a bonding measure declaring that every practicing lawyer should be bonded to protect the public from the misappropriation and theft of funds held by members of the pro-- fession on behalf of clients. '"Talk about your unions, -- talk about the C.I.O.," exhorted Mr. Mc-- Brien. "I tell you that members of this profession are almost auto-- crats. I have given this question a lot of thought and it is not as difficult as the Law Society would lead you to believe." Says Need Imperative. Three points in a legislative pro-- gram to bond lawyers, curb mil-- lionaire tax evasion and check drunken and reckless driving, were recommended yesterday to tne Hepburn Government in debate speech by Fred.

Leopold Macaulay, Conservative House Lead-- er, it was revealed there were but two private sanatoria in the Prov-- ince. The Premier said the Gov-- ernment had already announced its intention of investigating the ad-- ministration of the Homewood Sani--| torium in Guelph, and he thought it proper that the inquiry should be opened without delay. At the Premier's request, the House gave second reading and passed through committee, the bill to amend the Private Sanatoria Act. The legislation gives authority to appoint a Commissioner or Commis-- sioiners to investigate private sana-- toria.
