Island m lllll‘ to do their ut- most to further the war effort. When the Minister of Agrlcultum asked for an increased ‘arm pro- duction of 35 per cont. our people arranged for extra fertilizer and lut year they succeeded in ln- creas ng their production to that extent. If. unfortunately. gasp-bin should happen to that w

in our communication with the mainland, a llrluwhfch is now al- most worn throi-izh. the wiu- 0f- fort of our people on the Island would be very seriously affected. In short, it would be a national calamity.

I do not know, honourable sen- ators, whether I am out of order. I am only a new member.

Hon. Mr. UNN: Go ahead. You are doing a1 rl ht.

Hon. Mr. McI TYRE: I did not wish to trepiﬁs on the time of honourable senators. but I want- ed to put those matters before you, so you would have a fair understanding of the problem con- lfrorczlting us 1n Prince Edward Il- an

done its utmost to further the war effort. Thu ls the fourth year of the war, and. as you know,

holds in bondage Czechoslovakia, Poland, Denmark, the Netherlands. Belgium, France, Greece uid Yugo- slavia. and Japan has overrun he Philippines, Malaya, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma. We should suffer the same fate lf un- fortunately our war effort failed. For the first time in our history the North American continent has been threatened with invasion. ‘Ihe icy waters of the North are no in- siiperable barrier to conquest. Mod- ern vmr equipment has almost annihilated space and destroyed time. Remotenes! in distance is no rotectlon; “overseas" has al- mos lost its meaning. There can be no protection for us until our enemy is con uered. It does not make anv dif erenoe whether this war is fought on the sands of Egypt. the steppes of Russia or the depths of China, whether on the islands of the Pacific or in the

waters of the Arctic, whether in the skies over Britain 0r Gennany or the conquered countries of Eu- rope. I repeat. there can be no security for ourselves, our wives and families until the enemy is crushed and defeated.

Therefore, honourable senators, lEt us all be united. let there be no differences of opinion, no sec- tional pvejudices. Let us all g0 forward, feeling that in our hands lies the welfare of lhe peo- ple of this great Dominion. It would be a grievous calamity If we allowed sectional or other dif- ferences to prevent our carrying out the vital purpose of securing to our children and our children's children a reasonable assurance of freedom from fear and freedom from want.

Compliments New Senator

Hon. J. H. KING: Honourable senators, I should like to compil- ment the new senator from Prinoe Eduiard Island (Hon. Mr. Mc- Intyre» on his address. No doubt he and his peo le are at the pre- sent time exper encing great hard- ships owing to the loss of the fern: Charlottetown having very seriously disturbed the ferry ser- vice between the Island and the mainland of New Brunswick. The Minister not long ago declared in the House of Commons that the matter was being given careful attention. and that architects were already preparing plans in the hope that a new shl would be built. I think we al reaize that today it is pretty difficult to get that typo of ferry constructed in our Canadian yards, which are now engaged in the building of naval and other war craft. How- ever. we are indebted to the hon- ourable member for his excellent address.

Hon. J. A. CALDER: Honour- able senators, I merely wish to congratulate the honourable gen- tleman from Prince Edward Island on the way in which he has dealt with a very interesting subject. I am sure that if he had placed a fcrmal notice on the Order Paper he would have received a good deal of support from all sections of the House when he introduced the question.

Hon. Mr. McINTYRE: I want to inform the honourable member op- pOSilc that, being a new member, I just. followed the procedure adopted by the honourable member from Victoria-Carleton (Hon. Mr. Smith: and the honourable mem- ber from Letlibridge (Hon. Mr. Buchanan) when they spoke on the abolition of the Senate.

Hon. Mr. QUINN: They should

know better.

The Han. the SPEAKER: My embarrassment, on the point. of order, is as great as that of the honourable gentleman from Prince Edward Island, for, like him, I also am a new member. The rules in the Senate are not as strictly observed or applied as in the HQU5Q of commons. Nevertheless, as I understand the rules of the Senate, questions can be put to the Minister and matters of im- mediate and urgent importance can be discussed before the Orders of the Day are called; but. B5 the honourable senator from Saltcoats (Hon. Mr. Calder) has just. point- ed out, when 1t Ls proposed to dis- cuss a question at some length, it would seem preferable to put a. formal notice on the Order Paper. 50 a5 u: bring the subject to the attention of honourable senators. and allow those interested b0 take part in the debate. I understand that 1n this Chamber it is the prac- tice to allow considerable latitude in the application of the rules, and I assumed that the honourable gentlemen had the unanimous con- scnt of the Senate to proceed; but I would suggest, honourable sen- ators, that, so as t0 ensure that the debate may proceed in a more orderly rianner, it would be ad- visable to adhere more closely to tho rules before the Order: of the Day are called.

Furthermore, on iioutfno proceed- ings, lt ls out of order to move the first or the second reading of u private lylll before lht. report then- on has n considered and con- curred "i.
