begnmmg of august wentyfour of qm training schools had been opened by the end of october thirtyrrix were in operation to put it another way ttuoughout that period an average of one school a week was started on september 36 the minister of national defence for air welcomed at vancouver the first detachment of australian pupus who had come to canada for their advanced training national begistrmtfcm may t now say a word about national registration tthls glgaxrtlc task was the first under taking of the department of national war services after its creation on july 13 i do not need to ten hon mem bers how pf how vigorously and how efficiently the registration was organized or how noothly and effi ciently the machinery for registration worked on august 19 20 and 31 i want however to express to boo members of all parties and groups the warm appreciation that the gov ernment feels for their effective co operation in this great natio task the cost of the registration itself was kept at a minimum owing to the enthusiastic response of citizens in an walks of life to tie call for voluntary unpaid assistance in carrying through this great survey of canadas human resources the response of our people to this first universal call to duty was magnificent the most graphic index of the pro gress made in furnishing needed muni tions and other war supplies and equipment is perhaps the total of war contracts let on august 12 we had awarded for the account of canada contracts to the total amount of 30a 000000 bj november 4 that amount had been increased to more than ms 000000 of the 443000000 worth of contracts 87 per cent have been plac ed in canada 8 per cent in the unit ed kingdom and 5 per cent in the united states in addition to these amounts canadian industry had un dertaken as of september 3 1040 to tal contracts from the government of lelf made it so easy for us elude the agreement reached densbdrf in reality the acreemen marks the fuu blnwnrntng of a lone aasocmsan in harmony b thu people of canada and the people of the united states to which i hope and believe the president and i hav also in some measure contributed the link forged by the canadaunited states defence agreement is no tem porary axis it was not formed by nations whose common tie is a mu tual desire for the destruction of their neighbours it is part of the endur ing foundation of a new world order based on friendship and good wfll in the furtherance or this new world order canada to liaison between the british commonwealth and the unit ed states is fulfilling a manifest des tiny wnr almsa word in conclusion concerning our war alms or if the term seems preferable our peace amis rightly considered toe two constitute opposite sides of the same shield there has already been a good deal of discussion concerning aims in this war it is bald on the one hand that the only aim of importance la to de feat the enemy on the other that moat important of ajj la to bring into being a new social order an order in which freedom truth and ustterwl increasingly prevail in the relations between individuals between classes and among nations personally i do not see that any conflict need arise between our war alms and our peace aims if nasi germany is not de feated there will be little of freedom truth and justice left in this world if on the other hand we are in earnest in our desire to have freedom truth and justice prevail in all human lations we should be prepared fight as men have never fought be fore i should like to remind the house that the only limits the government is prepared to place upon canadas war effort are those imposed by the extent of our resources both human and material and by our capacity for sacrifice we will make financially possible the utmost effort the people of canada axe physically and morally capable of making mr hanson in opening the debate for the opposition dealt in the first place with his views with respect to the duty of an opposition he asked a number of general questions and then offered some criticisms the following are verbatim extracts from his soeech may i at this point pause to entm ctate the views with respect to public business ol the party i have the hon our to lead i want to be very de finite about this mattex today he policv of the corservative party is to continue he policy of cooperation with the government in waging the war over there and for the defence of the nation here and to render such as sistance as may be in our power to attain the supreme objective i say further to my right hon rriend that we desire to persevere in this there is substantial evidence that in about 20 per cent of children the ton sils are either enlarged or diseased and therefore have an unfavourable in- fuenoe on the physical development of the child such tonsils should be re moved the tonsils have assumed an im portant role in the economy of the child during the last 30 years the benefcial results following removal of of tonsils in selected cases has well justified the procedure it has been shown that markedly hypertoophled tonsils and tonsils that aire repeatedly inflamed giving rise to attacks or tonsillitis and swollen neck glands frequently impair normal physical development when such a condition exists after four years of age it is advisable to have the tonsils re moved with th expectation that at least so per cent of children so treated vill be materially improved it is undeniable that the child pop ulation of the country has experienced better phjstcal development with few er interruptions due to mild and pro- onged illnesses in the last 30 years infant mortality has been reduced and fatal illness in the school age oc curs less oten while the widespread application of public health proce dures such as pasteurization of milk the safeguarding of water supplies and care of foods and the health edu atlon of the public has had the most influence in this direction it must be admitd that eradication of unhealthy ton l haij played a considerable role in the physical improvement of the race the single question to be determined in respect to the tonsils of a child is are these tonsils diseased if so they should promptly be removed the united kingdom m the amount i course by offering constructive crltl of 134000000 tor equipment and suo- pies and commitments have been made by the united kingdom for capi tal expenditure of an additional 981 000000 the figure of 443000000 which i mentioned a few minutes ago represents contracts for the delivery of munitions supplies and equipment we have also made commitments for capital expenditures in the form of plant construction and extensions to the amount of 335 000000 these capital commitinents include fifteen explosive and chemical plants at a to tal cost of 70000000 twentyfive armament plants at a cost of 68000 000 forty ammunition plants at a cost of 36000000 additions to auto motive plants at a coat of 6000000 further details and subdivisions of these expenditures will be given by toe minister of munitions and supply mr howe m the first twelve months of the war our expenditure was 300000000 or about 800000 a day the collapse tf the resistance to the nasi offen- alve on the continent of europe and the elimination thereby of many of the protective factors of time and apace were followed by an immedi ate increase in our financial and ma terial responsibility ibe result was a rapid and progressive rise in our wartime expenditures in june and july we were spending about o and a third million dollars a day aiipw nearly two mfluon dollars day in the month of spent 60000000 in october our war expenditures were over 81400000 the october expenditures were at the rate of almost a billion dollars a year in regard to the recent vs treaty mr king said i should be the last to claim that the ogdensburg agreement was due wholly to the conversations between toe president mm myself to our

of gov ernment to the domestic sphere and so far as in our power lies to pro mote the greatest good for the great est number of our fellow citizens i have a list of specific questions want to ask the government 1 why have no rifles been made in canada to date for use by our bat talions why are our thirtyday trainees given only old ross rifles many of which may not be fired only those which have been reconditioned may be fired 2 why is there such a shortage of machine guns for use by machine gun unite 3 why is signal equipment practi cally nonexistent mr baldwin stressed this n his review of
