Review of Par- liamentary Session At Ottawa

(By Our Own Correspondent.)

OTTAWA, June 11 (Special by mail) -—As stated in a former letter. the House of Commons in its session of four months and a half was re- markable for its lack of construc- tive legislation rather than for any- It had as little to show for the time spent as any previous session of Parliament. Of the 41 public bills which received Royal assent. outside of the estimates and other money and Budget bills, every one was in the form oi‘ amend- ments to then existing legislation. The estimates, however, and money bills for loans to harbor commis- sioners at Quebec, Halifax and Que- bec and for the beautification of Ottawa and its purlieus were not new in the sense of being unusual and only constructive in the mat- erial sense, but they were crtainly lavish. Essentially, the second ses- sion of the sixteenth Parliament was a hand-out session. Over $375,000.- 000 was authorized in the main and supplementary estimates, and stat- llliflry appropriations to the extent 0f $46,000,000 were passed, as fol- lows: $39,000,000 on account of the Canadian National Railways; loan to the Quebec Harbor Commission- ers; $B.500.000 to the Saint John Harbor commissioners; $5,000,000 to the Halifax Harbor commissioners; $500,000 to the Federal District Com- missioners: Ottawa, $3,000,000. Es- sentially. it was a spending session. Even economically-minded Mr. Robb. apologizing for what his Scotch canniness could not in his heart approve of. said that in a "ew- expanding Country like Can- Bdfl, a government which did not spend generously must fall down, and, of course, the government if spending is to keep its feet steady does not intend to fail down. That, as members of the Opposition point- cd out, is the fiscal policy of the Government, spending where spend- ing will do most good to the Liberal cause. l

In respect of standing up. at no time during the session was the government in danger. its majori- ties ranging from 11 to 58. Mac- Kenzic King was born under a lucky stow-so did Napoleon think of him- self-and since he first saw daylight his luck has never deserted him. With the House divided into groups, on any division involving the fate of the Government, the Progres- sives, the Laborites and the two so- called independents were, and it may safely be predicted. always will be. safe for the Government. The $4.000 indemnity which almost be- came $6,000. is a never-fallingmag- net. and binds closer than the bond of brotherhood. Issues are so di- verse that neither the Liberals nor the Conscrvatives‘can consistently support the extreme views expressed

in resolutions moved by the Progres- sives or the Laborltcs, so that the

in rampaging on any topic that comes within their politlcul menu. and, of course, these groups cannot sec eye to eye‘ with the Conserva- tives in regard to their fiscal policy. This is particularly true of Mr. Bourassa. who works-himself into ecstatic frenzies on his obsessions about Canadian independence and against Great Britain. Their at- tacks on the government. when they do attack, remindsone of the big, fat. strong English country squire (for whom in this case the government may be substituted for the purposes oi’ the slmlle) who used to be beaten by his wife. When expostulated with by friends on al- lowing it, he invariably replied: “It pleases she. and it don't hurt, I." The Liberal Progressives. whom Mr. Forke by agreement represents in the Cabinet, are, of course, a joke. If it were postulated by the Gov- ernment that the moon was made of green cheese instead of the albu- men of hard wheat they would vote cheese.

If the House of Commons were not productive in noteworthy legis- lation. the Senate was fertile in div- orce bills. No less than 243 meas- ures of “relief" were passed. So great was the burden imposed on the Senate divorce committee in hearing evidence that that body has gone on strike and demands relief for itself. The Senate has given notice to the Commons that here- after it will not hear divorce cases except from Quebec. The record was set this year, the cases being practically all from Ontario, to the courts-of which province the Senate wishes applications for relief to be referred. Now that the world has settled down to “normalcy.” and the war can no longer be held respons- ible for temperamentalism, t_he question is being discussed "Why?" It was interesting to note how the new rules worked out. It was thought that limiting speeches to forty minutes would shorten de- bates. In practice it has done no- thing of the kind. On the other hand. it has greatly increased the number of speakers. The speeches on the Address and on the Budget greatly outnumbered those of~ last year and the actual number of pages of Hansard used up were doubled. But there is the other fact that when a speaker is in the middle of his theme there comes the irritation of being checked up and having to sit down. It is true that the new rules were almost unanim- ously adoptcd last year and mcm-

predicted that it wouldnt work-

practice. It is all very well to point

tains nowhere else except in British Parliament.

House fell by the wayside. 1t was a significant instance of the tyranny of a small minority, and it was so marked that Mr. Bennett took the ground that it was a derogation of’ the dignity of Parliament and thatl the rules which made it possiblel should be amended. and in that thel Prime Minister concurred.

Perhaps the most interesting fea- ture of the session was to watch the development of the Hon. Mr. Ben-l nett as leader oi’ the Opposition: The selection of any leader is al-. ways an experiment and not always; successful. After all. as it must be. admitted. his experience in Parlia-i ment ha! not been extensive, andl while his ability as a lawyer and.‘ debater. and his experience in fin-g ance have long been recognized; leadership of a great party involves other and very different qualifica- tions.
