'Mani0n

(YITAWA, Feb. l3—(GP)—Con- servu-tive leader Manion today pierfled the Conservative Party to the principle that no profits should be made in the supply oi munitions to the Canadian Gov- emment. He did so in his second speech in the House oi Commons debate o the Bren gun contract and at e same time declared no amwer had been made to cpposi- tion criticism.

Labor Minister Rogers in reply mm the Opposition was ready to delay further investigation oi the contract and s0 suspic- ion of the kind which undermin- ed the isaiulness of zovernment services. He was referring to Con- servative opposition to the PIO- _ to investigate the contract in the public accounts committee. Today was the sixth clay 0i the debate which storied when Grant MacNeii (C. C. F, Vancouver) mowed for a publzc accounts com- mdttee inquiry to supplement the work of Mr. Justice H. H. Davis who presided st a Royal 0cm-

..misslon.,.inqulry. into the con sci...

under which John Inglis Co. m- lied oi Toronto umiertokes to supply the government with 7.000 light machine guns.

Abuse Not Answer

Name-calling. attacks on Cul- George Drew, author 0f- the mu-gu- zine article which started the Bren gun controversy, and un- parliamnitary language indulged in by Government speakers made no answer to the object-ions I015- cd to the contract and the method by which it was awarded. D1‘- Msnlon said. He suggested the House should observe better de- corum than it had recently-

"I say here." he remarked. "that whatever Col. Drew did he certainly rendered a service W this country lneslnuch he saved it I. lot of money by having another Hater dirawn up- as s. supplement to the contract. In addition I be- lieve the article will make any government in power in this country in the future more care- iul 1n the letting oi contract-i 10f munitions oi any kind."
