Some ttlegrams passed to and fro ‘at that 111w. and at last Premier Bell cent an aDlJflilll-"lfilltto hlitrhell us representative for colonization purposes for thza Province.

There was only one reference given. that of Mr. Fraser i‘n Ottawa. They had no o:ller recommendation as to the character of the man, and I say that his appointment ‘was ‘granted on the advice and the thing was Dill through solely on the recom- mendation. of Hon. Mr. Sinclair. ’l‘he local Government would never have appointed him had not he re- ceived 0150 from the Dom.nion (iovcrnnlcnt.

Something happened worse than that. ‘Mitchell was not satisfied \\.l.l| file lorlll ill which Premier Bell sent that appointment and w‘: flaw: Mr. Sillcla i sondng a tele- graiil tasking to change ille fernl and to atiix tile great seal oi‘ this l’rc.lnce to that appointment; and it use that form suggested by Mr. Sinclair that Mitchell uued to rc- pri‘.cllt huliself us Agent for tll..l Holmes, whereby lie uefraiiucil those settlers.

Mr. Iiarkul wrote to the Minister of immigra- tioll suyng that he dd not think nlucll of Mitchell's appointment. and at a lat-er date he recommend- ed that Mitchell's salary be sus- pLilllLfI by the Dominion Govern- mtnt as he was not acting in s. pro- per way.

~ "l em afraid Mr. Mitchell is a bad lot; he refused to come over l0 flee n18. and there ls uo doubt that he is continuing selling these lots on which. as you point out, no man can make a living.

As you will see. I have told Slr

should he be stopped acting as

ing Mr. Mitchell. that I had a

very poor opinion of the _ap-

polutec."

Whoever nominated Mitchell to represent the Government ought to make flood to those officers ‘the money they lost. That is the opin- ion of lion.

Ml. Sinclair make him responsible and tlint the Governnlnlt of wh.ch ti.‘ is a member must take the con- sequence of that gcntleulanfls acts WilLII he is acting in a public way

New Mr. ‘Speaker. if the Domin- ion Guv-J-rnnltut deny renlponnliilll- i.y n this matter, they surely can- ilc: deny that if they were not wholly responsible. they were at least parties to the ulistakc; that ivhat was done by the local Gov- tynnlsnt was done at the request of t-fon. Mr. Si-ncialr. ‘rile iilere iliaking qf the formal appointment, nmlllng more. was what the Bell uOvllfilllIilll. did. They said, “Well. we are not gong to lose anything on that; we will satisfy Mr. Sin- clair, we will nccedc to his request. it .s not costing us a cent", And tllcy lllade it. is not the Donlill on iimtrnnlent responsible? I do not think lherc in any person with any

l

nun l0 work. to get in touch with Jlise retired Indian officers, cause he only went over in March.

What happened? The Doilllllion G'C'8I‘f1ll1'3lll. suspended Mztchellla - ' and notified hiln to that ef-

mly payments. You would think. Mr. Speaker, when this man was appoulted 0n th esoie recommenda- jticil of lion. Mr. Sinclair, that thE ‘Province would have received a

lit.le notice of what was going on. I biitcllell ' ‘meantime, in August, after his ap- .pontnlcut by the Dominion Gov- ‘ernnlc-nt had been withdrawn. Was lthc local Government notified of ’the change, as they should have lbcenf Here [see the great mistake made by Mr. Sinclair, in the fact that he knew as a member of the Dominion ‘Cabinet that" Andrew Fraser Mitchell's connection with the Dominion Government had ceased. and he did not so inform the local Government. Further than that, were going on. Bungalows were being built at Emerald and the scheme was being carried 0n. 11b!- withstanding that the Dominion Government had withdrawn .ltis support. ‘Surely. in the right of fair play. when Mitchell's connection with the Dominion Governmenthad ceased. this Government had a right to be notified. There was a responsibility‘ upon Mr. Sinclair as a Cabinet minister. acting in a public way, to notify tho Bell Gov- ernment that-this man was not. act- ing properly. Ann l think. if the local Government had been notifi- ed at that time. many of tllo losses sustained by those retired lndian officers would not have taken lace. and this thing would only ave been a small matter.

There in another point which I had forgotten to mention. Upon the first occasion that Mr. Sinclair met Mitchell in Premier Delrsiof- fiec .or on the second occasion. when ho asked for tho second ap- pointment. there i: no evidence to show that Mr. Sinclair ever told the Prom-liar that those OpHOIII were being taken. and that Mitchell had bought hlc own form.

I do not believe for a mome t that Premier Bell knew these con- ditions. that Mitchell was going to lllake a profit,—and Mr. Sinclair in his owll evidence admitted that ho knew that Mitchell might make a profit. But Mr. Mayne states he knew that Mitchell was going to make a profit. 1 want to press this fact on the members of.the House, that surely it was not right for a member of the Dominion Cabinet.‘ to sell his own farm to a person whom he afterwards appointed as an agent of immigration upon salary from the Government of which he was a member. I do not think that is ‘lonsistent. and i think that is where Mr. Sinclair made a great mistake, I am not snylllll W399i" he did it knowingly or unknowing- ly. lls made s mistake. and in say- lng that l am only attempting to prove to this House that Mr. Sin- clair was responsible. and through him the Dominion Government is responsible. for the reimbursement m these officers.

ponsihle for those losses. ‘repeat it at any great length. zousidor the crux of the whole lituaton is that Mr. Sinclair acted lvuy strangely, and I do not tlrn-k

‘.1 .i actions in a very suitable way. in refusing to notifythe Bell Gov- ‘ernmtnt in July of Mitchell's mis~ conduct and the wihtdrawal of his salary at Ottawa. Mitchell con- tinued operating tho whole of Aug-- ust and the most part of Septemb ‘_ er. And Mr. Sinclair knew of the, Federal Government's action. He, admits in his evidence that he did; What excuse does he give? "Well.f' he said. “the Provincial elections were going on at ‘that -tlm‘e.” Al; mighty poor answer for the Hon. My; Sinclair to give!
