He flatly contradicts General Foch and the Al- lied Control Mission as to ,German . military strength and armament, and!` says that Germany can never again be! a great military power. It is probable` that any single `member of the -Allied Mission knows more about German arms than Mr. Houghton, who should remember that up to the eve of the war the German Ambassador in Bri- tain was kept in absolute ignorance of his country's aims andwas encouraged to make pretense that the last thing Germany wanted was war.

Yet the police in several Canadian cities have recently been asked by re- cipients of "Spanish prisoner letters, what they should do about them.

Following are the opening and-closing paragraphs:-- ,. ` I, in at`ileast.one respect, find my- self entirely in accord with one expres- meetings.,Space will_ not permit the` V r. sion of the Hon. member for Skeena .5 (Mr; Stork), who moved the amend- l= ment, and that is when he says that -3 horse racing is an ancient and honour- tq able sport. Let us, in the first place, 1 get clearly before our minds the sub- t] ject now under discussion. It is not the =; desire of the mover or of any of those who are supporting his resolution to `do away with the noble _-animal, the `race horse, in this country. neither isl 6 it the purpose or desire of any of use to prohibit horse racing in Canada; Persdnally; I enjoy watching a good horse race just as much as anybody else, and in my younger days I enjoyed having the privilege, which I did have many a time, of riding one of those noble animals at the races-I want to; qualify that,--`races where public! gambling was not allowed. The ques-! tion before us is simply that stated in` athe resolution: VVe are dealing with` ' the special privilege which is now giv-I |nn fn rnnincr associations under the: NORTH s1Mco1-:M1>.,.oN RACE TRACK GAMBLING ' the special privilege wmcu is now 51V-I` en to racing associations the; criminal code of carrying on publici gambling operations in connection with their race meetings. I am inform- ! ed, and I `think it is ctrrrectgthat Can-| ada is the only portion of the British} ': Empire where public gambling. at race lmeetings is allowed by law. If -I am not correct, some Hon. member will ' correct me. Personally, I consider this . to be a great blot upon our country and a definite menace to our national yvelfare. The question before us at the present time is a great moral issue, and for that reason itis one of great moment to the people of Canada; for the future welfare of any country must depend upon the character of its citi- zens. This question, therefore, is of . great national importance because it` has much to do with the formation of `character. particularly in our rising _v; generation." - " 57.. ......_..1....a.-... 1 uyhsln +n 1-nalrn an have to meet irraddition to those-now 'e-xlsting. and if they want Germany in the League that country will stay out only because it so desires.

LLIUllo _ In conclusion, I wish to make an appeal to every member of this House for soli support of the resolution` uwhich is before us. For in supporting it what are we doing? We are protect- ing our bets and our girls, our young lmanhood and our young womanhood, 0 our homes, this Canada of ours which` `we all dearly love, from the harmful influence of this, national evil which tends `towards the destruction ofstrong, true. Christian character, and which A is also a menace to our future welfare as a nation." } vlvuvugv u `I- -9, ..- Chicago has lost its fight to go on ldraining the Lakes and menacing nav- igation rather than build a proper drainage system.

To take carewof these roads Mr. Mcvicar said the township should have ` four graders and thirty drags. He `advocated a" survey of the whole road system of the township by t council` and the road superintendent as early as conditions would permit so that ' systematic plans for the year's work , might be made.

He has enhanced_3 the good opinion thus created by his ` suggestion for conferences between f employers and employees ins a number i of vital industries, including that of shipbuilding. His idea is that the ques- tion of costs might be solved to the satisfaction on both sides. A recent. contract given by `a British firm to German shipbuilders for five vessels at an aggregate cost of one million pnunds--- about five million dollars- emphasizeshis suggestion.` The con- ` tract price in question was three hun- dred thousand pounds lower than the nearest British bid, or one million and * a half dollars less. In this instance the _ depreciated money had something to do with the winning of the contract. But it is obvious that British shipbuilders and artisans must needs get busy if they are not to lose much trade in a line in which they have long been nus-nnnrh n ltnsv nan supreme.
