the dominion government the statement issued is taken from hansard and in placing it before the electors in this manner he is making a right move in fairness to the constituents we hope this years activities pf the local horticultural society will include the planting of ornametal and shade trees there are many open gaps along main street where a tree would add to the beauty of the surroundings plenty of trees are obtainable from the town nursery stock on the park ground and its time to transplant this stock too premier g howard ferguson has introduced a bill in the legislature which if placed on the statutes will affect all the rural public school inspectors and will mean an annual saving of about 120000 to the rural municipalities in the province the bill provides for the depart ment of education taking over all rural public school inspectors and stipulates that on and after july 1st of this year the salaries travelling expenses and other expenses of all inspectors with the exception of city inspectors shall be fixed by the minister of education and be paid cut of the treasury of the province the bill also stipulates that all ap pointments of public school inspec tors in rural districts be made from the department instead of by the county as at present as the county of york pays one third of the 3600 salary of four inspectors and ontario county two inspectors as well as an allowance of 500 for printing postage etc for each inspector these counties stand to be relieved of a big annual outlay by the passing of the bill the bill also widens and revises the duties of the inspectors they will in future the premier said do more supervising and less inspecting meaning that emphasis would be placed on aiding the teachers and the boards rather than just making rounds

delivered an address in the house of commons on march 20 1930 on allowance to war veterans which will clearly set out the position of the member for north york on this live issue col lennox spoke on the second read ing of the bill his remarks as re ported from hansard are thus mr lennox mr speaker i do not intend to detain the house for any great length of time with the remarks i desire to make on this bill during the war sir arthur currie as we all know performed excellent service for the people of not only this country but for all countries who were on the side of the allies he distinguished himself as a very great military man and received praise and commendation from all the people of canada not only did ho do a wonderful service for his country during tho period of the war lie lias done perhaps almost as great a service for the returned soldiers during the last three or four months in november of last year he wrote a letter to the canad ian legion expressing his dissatis faction with the existing pension act stating that in his opinion it should be entirely rewritten in order to make further provision for tile welfare of the veterans a very short time after that letter was written i think within a week the prune minister dealt with this question at a public meet ing called on his behalf in the city of london i cannot help but express my doubt as to whether any olctiou would have been taken by the prime minister if sir arthur currie had not written this letter i am not sure whether the announcement made at london by the prime minister re sulted from the publication of that letter or whether the prime minister took that action from a sense of duty to the veterans throughout canada if that course were forced upon the prime minister by the action of sir arthur currie i am afraid the veterans could hardly ex pect that sympathetic treatment they otherwise would get if the prime minister had acted vountariiy if the prime minister took this step through a sense of duty and if he feels it to be his duty to day to take this action surely it- was his duty to have done it years ago the position of the veterans today is perhaps no worse than it has been during the last few years their con dition has been known not only to the prime minister but to every person in canada yet no steps were taken to remedy this condition un til this action vvas forced upon the government by ipublic opinion which was created through the publica tion of the letter written by sir arthur currie i sincerely hope that the bill which has been introduced has been brought in because the government believe they haive a duty to perform to the returned veterans canadian soldiers were engaged in action during the whole period of the war during which there were about 215000 casualties during the year and a half the united states were engaged in the war their casualties amounted to 213000 and of that number no less than 187000 receive pensions from the total of 215000 casualties for canadians must be deducted 65000 who were killed or have since died leaving 150000 of which only 61- 000 arc- pensioned it is remarkable that notwithstanding the fact that the united states were engaged in hie war for only onethird of the time as compared with canada they are paying pensions o three times the number of veterans it is perhaps unknown to many of the lion members that congress passed last year a bill appropriating for its war disabled for a period of one year only nearly twice as much money as lias baen paid to the canadian veterans since the expiration of the war that will convey some idea of tlio generous treatment the ameri can war veteran is receiving from his government as compared with tho treatment given to the canadian veteran imr adsliead does hie lion member mean to infer that the pension committees of 1925 and 192s did not give as far as they could full justice to the war veteran mr lennox i do not think they did in fact if they had given full justice then we would not have had tills present bill before us and we would not have had the legion and other associations connected with and looking after the interests of the war veteran raising such a row with respejet to the manner in which they have been treated during the course of the war there were over 100000 canadians who actually crossed over from england into france belgium and other theatres of war and of that number only 61000 are receiving pensions although 150000 wero disabled somo of whom very seriously during tho courso of tho war over 90000 of those who wero admitted to be casualties have never received one copper as compensation or as pen sion for the disabilities from which they suffered in addition to that ive have 250000 the difference between 150000 and looooowho wore not declared to he casualties and nut of that number not more than one per cent are receiving consideration at the hands of the pension board al though these men did not actually receive any injury there is no doubt but that they suffered as a result of 1 heir experience yet they liavo re ceived no consideration in addition to the pensions board we have an appeal board appointed to consider the claims which are refused by the pension board according to the report of the department of pensions and continued on page 8 wool wool we require about 10000 pounds of
