"In Kingston, there is & great rail road industry called the Canadian Lo- comotive Works company. The man that gets the votes in these works goes to pariiament, whether at Otta- wa or Toronto, just as sure as day follows night. Sir William Mackenzie allowed his emissaries to circulate among these men the hint that be- cause the member for Kingston = had dared to oppose him, Sir William Mac-, kenzie would, therefore, give no con tracts to the Canadian Locomotive Works company. .

If party gov- ernment in this country has got to such a stage that 'within a party fhiere is no room for independence, that a man must agree with his party not only on the fundamentals but also on the incidentals, then I say td this house that so far as the member for Kingston is «concerned, give me the freedom of an elector. I have been as careful 4s any man could be to-night not to go outside the pale of my party.

Arthur Meighen confined themselves princi- pally to restating in: general terms what they interpreted to be the meaning of the agreement as al ready outlined in the press. Pre- mier Borden emphasized the sworn statements made by officials .of the company that neither Sir William Mackenzie nor Sir Donald Mann nor anyone on their behalf had ever tak- en one dollar in profits from their Work as contractors or agents for thé road. Mr. Meighen maintained that the bargain was the most pro- vident one in the history of the rail- Way legislation in Canada, and that by it the treasury would ultimately be recouped for - the $40,000,000 "wasted" on the "National Trans. continental. aa i | Parted Smiling: The morning, Sir William Macken- vie and Mr. Nickle engaged in a long conversation in the corridor.

Sir Wilfrid told some of the truth said W. F. Nickle, in rising to con- | tinue the discussion, "and the un-! pleasantness is accentuated when ' one's stand is seized upon by the op- torted or misconstrued. When I accepted the nomination for Kingston, however, I reserved th right to exercise my own judgment and express my views on matters which are not essentials of conserva- tive party policy, and it is in that sense I rise to-night.

Passing on, Mr. Nickle spoke of the ifiporfance of railway legislation in the history of Canada, and eriti- | cized the methods followed by the | liberals in the construction of the | National . Transcontinental. From the point of view of economy it | would have heen better for Canada fo make some other arrangement rather than to incur the expense of , building another read around the | lakes.

Possibly Wrong in Yielding "Last year, when application for asjistance was made by the Canadian Northern," he continued, "I was ouf- spoken within my party in opposing any. ald without full. and ample in- airy. I was met, by the statement of a Canadian Nerthern official that if the aid were granted the company would be able to carry the railway to completion, and that to stop meant | \national calamity and financial chaos, Possibly I was wrong in yielding, but' you will remember, Mr, Speaker, that the legislation was hrought down in' the dying hours of the session, whéii*there was little op- portunity for discussion. "When the matter came to our at- tention this session through the ip. sidious and persistent lobby carried on by. the Canadian Northern it seemed to me time for a thorough lnvestigation. After making an, in- vestigation for myself I am of the ovimion to-night that it was a mis- take in 1913 to assist the road, and { that the bargain the government is now suggesting is a bad bargain for the dominion of Canada."
