He warned that some _ sup- pliers' accounts already are overdue and "certain employ- ees cannot receive their mid- March pay' because Parlia- ment has not voted the neces- sary funds The appeal touched off an up- roar of protests from Liberal members. Mr. Fleming had to leave for a meeting and missed most of it J. W. Pickersgill (1---Bona- vista-Twillingate) called it "an- other big bluff by the minister of finance' and challenged the government to name the sup- pliers and employees involved DEBATE SAME I Then, in obvious defiance of Mr. Fleming's request, the op- position spent the rest of the | afternoon and all of the evening 'debating the same supplemen- tary spending item it has been on since Tuesday night The item, under the labor de- partment, will be the topic again today Tr H The latest set of estimates, in- volving 61 items totalling $115,- 647,429, is the fourth supplemen- tary which has been introduced since Mr. Fleming tabled the main 1961-62 estimates a year ago. A fifth and final set lies ahead In seven days of debate the House has passed 22 of the 61 items, which range over various government departments And some key departments like na- tional defence are still to come Traditionally the opposition makes much use of spending de bates because of the opportunity they afford for criticizing cab- ministers DEMAND DETAILS Mr Pickersgill and Lionel Chevrier (L--Montreal Laurier) demanded details about who would not be paid The finance minister was not in the House but his parliamen- tary secretary, Richard A.

William M. Benidickson (L-- Kenora Rainy River) com- plained that Mr. Fleming did not present the current esti- mates until Feb. 8. They were not put up for debate until Feb. 23, then were delayed again until March 2. The Liberal financial critic added that it is common for a finance minister to keep a "kitty" for emergency pay- ments and asked why Mr. Flem- ing hadn't done so. 'Responsibility in these mat- ters is with the government and is always with the government," Mr. Benidickson said.

British byelections seldom favor the party in power and always reflect a local 'protest'? vote against the Socialists and Con- servatives. Observers think it would be wrong ot make any long-term predictions on the basis of the present ballots, especially since the govern nient passing through a particularly difficult period; The Liberals however, who now hold seven seats in the 630- is seat Parliament, will find it dif- ficult to restrain their hopes that the mighty party of Glad- stone and Lloyd George will once again be heard and feared throughout the land And, with at least five more byelections pending, Britons) have found an admirable long- shot to back in the lull before) the flat-racing season opens. 4 111 KING ST.
