' BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE


[Stage Direction]
Hon. IAN A. MACKENZIE (Minister of Veterans Affairs) moved:
That on Monday, October 22 instant, and every Monday thereafter to the end of the session, government notices of motions and government orders shall have precedence over all other business except introduction of bills, questions by members and notices of motions for the production of papers.
Mr. DONALD M. FLEMING (Eglinton): Mr. Speaker before the motion is put, I should like to ask a question of the Minister of Veterans Affairs. It is my understanding that it is not intended at present to interfere with Wednesdays as private members' days.
Mr. MACKENZIE:: No, it is not the intention at present. I rather think, however, that, following the custom in preceding sessions and parliaments, a further motion will be put in a week's time. The following figures will indicate the number of Mondays and Wednesdays given in other years to private members' business before they were taken over for government business:
Mondays Wednesdays
1935	
i	51936	
5	31937	
3	61938	
6	71939	
8	5
So far this session we have had five Mondays, Thanksgiving day having taken away one, and we have had a total of six Wednesdays, so in that respect we are up to the average of prewar years. I think reasonable consideration has been given to the rights of private members.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTS AND ESTIMATES OF GOVERNMENT-OWrNED TRANSPORTATION LINES
Hon. LIONEL CHEVRIER (Minister of Transport) moved:: That a sessional committee on railways and shipping owned, operated and controlled by the government be appointed to consider the accounts and estimates and bills relating thereto of the Canadian National Railways, the Canadian National (West Indies) Steamships, and Trans-Canada Air Lines, saving always the powers of the committee of supply in relation to the voting of public moneys; and that the said committee be empowered to send for persons, papers and records, and to report from time to time, and that, notwithstanding standing order 63, the said committee consist of Messrs. Chevrier, Clark, Coyle, Beaudoin, Belzile, Bourget, Emmerson, Gibson (Comox-Alberni), Harkness, Harris (Grey-Bruce), Harris (Dan-forth), Hazen, Jackman, Lacroix, Lockhart, Maybank, McCulloch (Pictou), Moore, Mutch, Nicholson, Picard, Reid, Shaw.


Mr. T. L. CHURCH (Broadview):: Mr. Speaker, I should like to ask the minister what the powers of this committee are to be. When a similar committee was first appointed around the year 1929, it was given the task of going over the budget of the Canadian National Railways. Since that time they have added steamship, ocean and hotel services, and now they are going to add civil aviation. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested by this country in the Canadian National Railways, in its ocean and hotel services, and especially in civil aviation services. Unless we solve this civil aviation question aright and have a proper civil aviation policy the British empire will face liquidation. When this committee was first appointed I asked whether the House of Commons was divesting itself of all public control over this great national system of railways, ocean services and hotel services-and now we have aviation services, on which the future of the British empire depends. I asked when this committee was appointed for the first time if

Railways and Shipping Committee
individual members of parliament would have the right to go before it and ask questions, and the minister replied that they would.
I have read the reports of this committee and I fail to see where there has been any proper investigation of the affairs of this railway system. The membership of this committee, like that of other committees, is made up largely of laymen, although there are a few members who know something about transportation. However, hardly anyone who has served on this committee is an outspoken public-ownership man. Many who have served on this committee have had experience in municipal affairs, but I have been unable in other years to find any outstanding supporter of public ownership who has been a member of this committee.
As to the way the committee is conducted, I may say that I have visited the committee dozens of times. The members were all smoking cigars and they seemed to be having a good time. They travel around the country a lot, but I have "failed to find any recommendations made by this committee to the high court of parliament which show that a proper detailed investigation has been made of this great public utility which is so necessary to the building up of this country and the development of its natural resources.
I warn the House of Commons that if this committee is appointed its report will be brought down a day or two before the house closes, with no time to discuss it. There will not be time to examine it as it should be examined. I notice that they are adding the consideration of expenditure relating to civil aviation. They have appointed a board to handle civil aviation. All parliament does if we pass this motion is to divest itself of all authority and hand the whole system over to boards. Who are the officers of the board? Let us look over the list of the permanent officers. Some of them have been promoted to the office of vice-president, but I doubt if they ever had the necessary experience. This is a great public utility.
You can appoint this committee if you like. No doubt it will be appointed, but the investigations by this committee in former years were practically no investigation at all of the system. I have read the reports dozens of times. It reminds me of the war expenditures committee, by which we divested ourselves of control.


Mr. SPEAKER:: Standing order 38 reads:
The following motions are debatable:
Every motion
(a) standing on the order of proceedings for the day, except government notices of motion for the house to go into committee at a later date.


Thomas Langton Church: You are quite right, Mr. Speaker. As I was saying, we are divesting ourselves of all control over expenditures of this system.


James Horace King: If the hon. member admits that I am right, he should resume his seat.


Thomas Langton Church: I have spoken on this motion every year, sir. I have objected to the appointment of this committee which takes from the control of parliament the whole policies of the national railway system.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


James Horace King: I have been generous with the hon. gentleman, and he should resume his seat.


Thomas Langton Church: I do not intend to allow this motion to pass without a pro-test from one who has been a public ownership man all his life. I fail to see where the public ownership principle in administration has been carried out by the system.


Mr. GORDON GRAYDON (Peel):: Mr. Speaker, it is with great diffidence that I rise in view of your ruling a moment ago in connection with freedom in discussing a resolution of this kind to set up a committee. I well recall, and I am sure that Your Honour will recall, that in previous sessions not only have a few moments or a few hours been taken up in debating the setting up of a committee; we have spent as much as three or four days in such a debate. With this explanation, I should like to take two ar three minutes of the time of the house, because this seems to be the only opportunity I may have, -to place upon the record what I think is a well deserved tribute to a group of our Canadian citizens.
Of the contribution which has been made by other branches of our civilian population, none will occupy a greater or more glorious page on Canada's home front history of the war than that of those engaged in the various branches of our transportation services. When I say this I am but reflecting the widespread and general public opinion on this point. But it is not alone on the home front that those in transport service have done their bit. Let me take as only one example those employed by the railway systems of this dominion. It is a proud record to which railwaymen right across Canada may point when it is recorded that almost 43,000 of their number have served in the armed forces of Canada in this war. Taking as a basis the number of employees on both roads at the beginning of the war, more than one out of every four railway workers in Canada enlisted in our armed
*1121

Railways and Shipping Committee
forces. It is doubtful if a better record can be shown by any other branch of our national activity.
While their brothers were fighting for Canada the railway workers at home performed an almost impossible task of transportation. The strain and pressure of war was nowhere felt at home more acutely than by our railway transportation systems. How they mastered the task was little less than a miracle; for in 1938-I would like the house to pay special attention to these figures, because they are next to miraculous-the railways of Canada carried 78 million tons of freight, while in 1944 the freight tonnage had jumped from 78 million tons to 152 million tons. Passenger traffic increases tell a similar story. In 1938 the railways carried 17-J million passengers: in 1944 they carried 54-j million passengers, or more than three times the volume of the last peace time year.
Let us not forget that with all the urgency and all the strain and all the pressure attendant upon war-time operation of our Canadian railways, only seven passengers were killed in Canada through railway accidents in the year 1944. The ratio of those killed and injured in railway accidents, whether passengers or not, is very much lower in 1944 than in the smaller peace-time traffic year of 1938. This is a silent but eloquent tribute to the efficiency of the railways of Canada which needs no elaboration from me.
It will be interesting to hon. members to know, too, that during the last calendar year, 3,100 dining car employees in the two great systems of Canada served en route with notable efficiencs- and service no less than nine million meals. Were time to permit, the story would go on through every branch of transportation activity to show the superb war-time job which was done.
Mr. M. J. COLDWELL (Rosetown-Biggar).: Mr. Speaker, I wish to associate myself and my hon. friends writh the tribute that has . just been paid by the hon. member- for Peel (Mr. Graydon) to the work of the men in charge of our transportation systems. Many of us who had to travel from time to time across this country before the war as well as and particularly, during the war, were amazed at the efficiency of the conductors, engineers, sleeping-car porters, dining-car stewards, and those charged with the responsibility of looking after railway offices and providing us with reservations. I am sure that what the ' hon. member for Peel has said is echoed by every member of this house no matter where he sits.
But what I really rose to do was to support the appointment of this committee, and I do so because of the remarks of the hon. member for Broadview (Mr. Church). It would be a mistake if at any time we in this House of Commons, elected in a legislative capacity, were called upon to try to operate an economic utility owned by the country. The method we have adopted in Canada of establishing government-owned corporations which by statute are free from active interference on the part of members of this House of Commons is the sane and proper method of handling publicly-owned institutions. The members who are elected to this house have no right, in my opinion, to interfere with the internal management of organizations such as this, and it is our duty to see to it that politics, in the sense in which we use the term in this chamber, does not enter into the running of our railways or our broadcasting system or any other publicly-owned utility which we have established or may establish in the future. As time passes, more and more of these' great economic organizations will come under the ownership and control of the people, and they should be operated entirely apart from the legislative arm; for the two arms, legislative and economic, are quite distinct. As long as we have the right to investigate the proceedings of these organizations to see that they give the people service and do a good job, our responsibility in connection with them as elected members of this house ends. As a warm supporter of the social ownership of industry I believe that in setting up these corporations under public ownership and control, under a statute of this parliament, and making them responsible to parliament through a committee of the house, we are doing what is the only sane thing to do. It is with pleasure, therefore, that I concur in the appointment of this committee.
Mr. W. CHESTER S. McLURE (Queens): Mr. Speaker, before this motion passes I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Transport. Every province is supposed to be interested in this committee and every province is supposed to have a representative on it. I notice that eight provinces are represented on the committee, but Prince Edward Island-again -we come back to Prince Edward Island-is not. We from Prince, Edward Island are interested in this railway, and I would like to ask the Minister of Transport why that province is not represented on the committee.


Lionel Chevrier: Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Peel (Mr. Graydon) as well as the leader of the C.C.F. party (Mr. Cold-



Railways and Shipping Committe*
well), for the tribute which they have just paid to the transportation workers in Canada during the war years. The tribute that each of them has paid is a well-deserved one, and unquestionably the service which these workers have rendered should be referred to in this house. When I made a statement in the house some two or three weeks ago in reference to the extension of an order in council on travel, I paid a tribute to the work being done by the railway and transportation workers across Canada. I think I should add a word now as to what is being done by the railways in the repatriation of our troops from overseas. I am sure the house will agree that what was done in that respect could not have been, better done.
The leader of the C.C.F. party a moment ago pointed to a very important feature in the setting up of this committee, namely, that parliament should retain the right to see that the internal management of the railways is not interfered with, and the proper way to make sure of that is by the appointment of a committee such as this. It strikes me that the setting up of this committee-I know the house will agree, and the motion is in exactly the' same form as in previous years-will ensure the purpose for which it is being established.
The hon. member for Queens cRlr. McLure) asked why it was that there was no representative on the committee from Prince Edward Island. The Minister of Transport is not responsible for naming the membership of the committee. That is a matter for the whips, and should they agree upon a change I shall have not the slightest objection.


Mr. JACKMAN:: May I ask the minister
whether or not the Hudson Bay railway accounts will come before this committee, as was agreed upon at the last sitting of the house?


Lionel Chevrier: Yes.


Harry Rutherford Jackman: And it will not be necessary to set that out in the resolution?


Lionel Chevrier: No.


James Horace King: Before putting the motion to the house may I tell the hon. member for Peel (Mr. Graydon) that I appreciate the very generous way in which he called my attention to my poor interpretation of standing order 38. I apologize to the hon. member for Broadview (Mr. Church), and I hope knowing his kindness, that he will continue to be generous to the Speaker, who unfortunately is not infallible.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.


[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. JOHN BRACKEN (Leader of the Opposition). I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Justice, who I understand is the acting Minister of Finance. My question is meant to clear up certain confusion which has arisen in respect of the budget proposal to abate the income tax levy by 16 per cent. To make clear my question let me read from the statement of the Minister of Finance in presenting his budget. He said at page 1006 of Hansard:
I think it wise therefore to recommend an interim measure of prompt and unquestionable relief. It is proposed that the tax levy shall be abated by 16 per cent dating from October 1, 1945. This abatement of 16 per cent will be applied to the current tax deductions at the source just as soon as the necessary change can be made. Since the change is applicable from October 1,. the abatement on the whole tax liability for 1945 will amount to 4 per cent. For a full year, the abatement will be 16 per cent of the tax liability.
This is an interim measure to be applied immediately and to continue until it is possible to combine further abatement with a thorough overhaul of the whole rate structure of the personal income tax.
As a result of that statement taxpayers were led to believe that the abatement would apply in respect of the current month's tax deductions at the- source. However, on Saturday morning, Mr. Fraser Elliott, deputy minister, taxation division, national revenue department, in a statement reported in the press, in apparent direct contradiction of the minister, said that the policy would not apply to tax deductions at the source until January 1, 1946. His statement as reported is as follows:
Employers will continue to use the present existing tables of tax deductions until the end of this calendar year without any change. Thus employees will then have paid substantially 100 per cent of their tax liability on the pay-as-you-earn basis, and the tax reduction provided by the present budget for 1945 will mean that they will have less to pay at the time of filing their * returns on or before April 30.
My question is this: would the minister inform the house whether the statement of the minister in his budget speech is correct, or whether the statement of the deputy minister of the taxation division of the Department of National Revenue is correct?
Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Minister of Justice) : Mr. Speaker, the statement of the Minister of Finance as reported at page 1006 of Hansard which has just been read by the leader of the opposition correctly set forth

Taxation
the intention of the government in the budget proposals which were put before the house by the Minister of Finance on Friday night. It will be noted that in that statement the minister said that the abatement of 16 per cent will be applied to all current tax deductions at the source just as soon as the necessary change can be made. As a matter of fact the deductions at the source are made in accordance with tables which have been prepared and authorized by order in council as regulations for the collection of the income tax, and the commissioner of income tax would have no authority to depart from what is prescribed by the order in council and the tables until some change is made in the regulations.
Though it is always declared in budget proposals that it is intended when the proper legislation is enacted that it will be retroactive to a certain date, it is not in fact legislation until it has passed through the houses of parliament and received the royal assent. Because of that, the commissioner of taxation apparently felt that it would be more convenient, and would make in fact no difference to each ratepayer or each employer, if deductions continued to be made according to the same table to the end of the year, because these deductions are calculated to represent only ninety-five per cent of the liability; in fact one could go on making to the end of the year deductions at the same rate, and the only consequence would be that the ratepayer wTould not have as much as five per cent to pay to satisfy the whole of his tax liability. There have been however a large number of representations and protestations made against this proposal or this suggestion of the commissioner of income tax, that though the Minister of Finance had not said from what date a change in the amount to be deducted might be made, he had said that it would be effective as soon as the necessary change can be made.
Mr. BRACKEN:: He said it would apply immediately.
Mr. ST. LAURENT: Yes, it would apply and it does apply, and both the minister and the commissioner intend that it shall in fact affect the amount of tax to be paid. The only question is whether it will be deducted at the source or whether it is something that a man will have to pay after he gets it- which he will have to return to the tax gatherer after he has received it from his employer. There have been a number of protestations that, though it does not affect in any way the liability of the taxpayer, the amount of deductions should be reduced at 47696-711
once by 16 per cent. It is intended at the earliest possible moment, because of the apparent psychological effect of maintaining the deduction at the old rate, to recommend to His Excellency a modification in the order in council, under which employers will be authorized to reduce their deductions immediately by 16 per cent without issuing the new table, because it would take some considerable time to calculate and print the new table and get it into the hands of every employer. But representations have been made that many employers are willing to have their pay clerks make the calculation, and the intention is to recommend to His Excellency an immediate modification of the regulation which will be authority, until such time as parliament has dealt with the recommendations of the Minister of Finance, to the employers to reduce their reductions by the 16 per cent. I hope to-morrow to be able to lay on the table of the house, if His Excellency will be pleased to approve it, an order making that change in the regulations.


John Bracken: Just to be clear, Mr. Speaker: is it understood that the statement made by the deputy minister of the taxation division of the Department of National Revenue will be altered by your proposed procedure?
Mr. ST. LAURENT:	It is proposed that
the procedure he had suggested in his statement will not be followed but that authority will be granted by order in council to all employers to reduce their deductions immediately by 16 per cent.


Gordon Graydon: There is nothing wrong
after all with Fraser Elliott's statement.
Mr. ST. LAURENT:	There was nothing
wrong with it, and in fact it would not make one cent's difference to anyone.


Gordon Graydon: The minister did not
make it very clear, though.
Mr. ST. LAURENT:	But the psychological effect, we are told, is substantial; many employees say that if there is to be a reduction of 16 per cent they should be trusted and should have the tax deducted only in accordance with the rate which will apply, they themselves to pay whatever balance they may owe as balance of income tax at the appropriate time.



EXCISE TAX-PRESS REPORT AS TO LEAK IN BUDGET INFORMATION

[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr.  M. J. COLD WELL@Rosetown-Biggar: May I also ask a question of the minister
War Veterans

arising out of the budget? I sent him notice of this question. I wonder if the attention of the government has been drawn to a report which appeared on page 12 of the Ottawa Citizen of October 13 last, Saturday, to the effect that the Ottawa branch of the Standard Fur Dealers knew on Thursday evening that Friday's budget would contain a reduction of the excise tax on certain furs from 25 per cent to 10 per cent.' If so, does the government propose to investigate this serious charge of a leak in budget information? This report appeared in the Ottawa Citizen of last Saturday.
Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs):	The report
had already been noted to be discussed with the Minister of Finance (Mr. Ilsley) just as soon as he returns. As the hon. member knows, the Minister of Finance is on a speaking tour to promote the victory loan, and is expected back, if not at the end of the week, early next week. The matter will be placed before him and discussed with him to determine what should be done in the circumstances.


Mr.  M. J. COLD WELL@Rosetown-Biggar: That is satisfactory.



WAR VETERANS


[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. J. G. DIEFENBAKER (Lake Centre):: I wish to direct a question to the Acting Minister of Finance. It is an urgent matter connected with the right of men returning from overseas to go into business. I am asking the indulgence of the house to put the question for the reason that since coming in here I have received a telegram in connection with it. On September 26 last I pointed out that the wartime prices and trade board had neglected to issue a licence to a butcher who upon his return from overseas, after five years of service, put all his gratuity money into a butcher shop and was then-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


John George Diefenbaker: Mr. Speaker, this is a matter affecting every soldier in the country.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


John George Diefenbaker: Will Your Honour permit me to place it before the house? It is the only opportunity I have, and this soldier's business has been closed down because the wartime prices and trade board will not act. That is the reason I am bringing -the

matter to the attention of the house, the only place in which complaints from citizens can be cleared up. This soldier came back from overseas in August and started in business. He endeavoured to get a slaughtering licence, as I pointed- out at page 482 of Hansard, but the matter was postponed from week to week, and finally to-day this man, after five years of service, has to close up because the wartime prices and trade board refuse to grant him a slaughtering licence. My question is this: Will the government immediately give consideration to the removal of orders and controls such as these in so far as they affect men who served this country and are returning and endeavouring to carry on the business they previously operated? The telegram I have before me comes from the Overseer of the town of Hawarden, Saskatchewan. I will not read it in detail, but it states in part:
Our butcher forced to close unable to get slaughtering licence. Will you bring this matter before parliament?
It affects every man coming back from overseas. I ask the government: Will a general order be issued with a view to enabling soldiers to carry on the business that they operated before they went into the service?
Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Minister of Justice): I have not joined in the applause which has followed- the hon. member's question, because I am not informed of the facts. I am quite prepared to take the hon. member's question as notice, but I would also ask him to give me the particulars of the case in question so that I can have it investigated.


John George Diefenbaker: I did so on September 26, and I have been trying to get action ever since.
Mr. ST. LAURENT: I am not in a position to supply information about -the case mentioned. If, however, the hon. member will now give me the particulars, I will at once have the matter looked into and endeavour to get a statement of the facts as they appear from the official records.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: I believe this is the
case mentioned by my hon. friend in a previous debate. I asked him then, when he referred to a certain letter, for the production immediately of that letter so that I could discuss it.


John George Diefenbaker: This is not the same matter.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: I have not heard from the hon. gentleman in regard to that case.

SHIPPING


[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. G. K. FRASER (Peterborough West):: I wish to ask the following question of the Minister of Transport (Mr. Chevrier). When ships are released from united nations shipping pool, will the dominion government establish a reserve pool of ships in Canada similar to that which the United States shipping administrator intends to establish in that country?


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


Gordon Knapman Fraser: This is important.


Lionel Chevrier: The hon. gentleman sent me
no notice of the question.


Gordon Knapman Fraser: It is not according to the
rules to send notice.


Lionel Chevrier: It is the practice. If
the hon. member will put the question on the order paper I will see that a reply is given.


Gordon Knapman Fraser: On a question of privilege,
Mr. Speaker-


James Horace King: Order. According to
standing orders, ministers are not bound to answer questions. It is a matter of courtesy if they do so.
Mr. HOM.UTH: And so often they cannot.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: You certainly could
not. answer any of them.



DECREASE IN PRICES IN PRAIRIE PROVINCES

[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
Mr. MAX CAMPBELL (The Battlefords):: In the absence of the Minister of Agriculture I should like to address a question to the government. Why did the price of hogs in the three prairie provinces on October 11 drop by from 51.15 to $1.40 per hundred pounds? What held the markets at approximately the same level as the previous week at Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Moncton-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


James Horace King: I. would ask the hon.
member to put the question on the order paper.



PROCEDURE IN QUESTIONS ON THE ORDERS OF THE DAY

[Stage Direction]
On the orders of the day:
['In accordance with the announcement of last evening in regard to the business of the house I move that the committee rise and report progress and ask leave to sit again this day.\nProgress reported.']
Gordon Graydon: Before you go on to the orders of the day, Mr. Speaker, on a question of privilege I should like to call Your Honour's attention, to a remark you made a moment ago in respect of the rights and privileges of those of us who sit on this side of the house, or of members generally who are not members of the government, in the matter of seeking information and receiving it from the government. I should like to make this suggestion to Your Honour, that you reconsider the statement you made with regard to our rights being only by way of courtesy. Whatever may be the letter of the rules, whatever may be the strict wording and technicalities which surround many of our deliberations here, I think it would be highly inadvisable for the Speaker of the house, Your Honour, or anyone else here, to suggest that the opposition have no rights, except by way of courtesy, in questioning the government.


Lionel Chevrier: He made no such
statement. You are lecturing the Speaker.


Gordon Graydon: Just a moment. If the
Speaker allows me to speak I will ask hon. members to refrain from interrupting. I should like to make this suggestion to Your Honour, with all possible diffidence, because I fear that a matter of this kind might easily grow into something much greater and much more important as time goes on. I think it ought to be established once for all that the opposition has a right, not just by way of courtesy but a right that has grown up through the years of our parliamentary institutions, to quesion the government at any time on the orders of the day on anything of national importance.
Hon. IAN A. MACKENZIE (Minister of Veterans Affairs): On a question of privilege, Mr. Speaker, my hon. friend was in the house a year ago and was acting leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition when this question came up and Your Honour's predecessor, the Minister of Mines and Resources (Mr. Glen) gave a most comprehensive ruling on the whole subject of questions asked on the orders of the day. His ruling on that occasion I believe met with general satisfaction in the house. There is no innovation in the remarks Your Honour made a few minutes ago; ihey were in keeping with the ruling given at the time by the then Speaker.

House oj Commons-Procedure


Hon. J. A. GLEN (Marquette):: Mr. Speaker, may I refer Your Honour to citation
296	of Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, third edition:
The Speaker, in common with his duties of supervision over the proceedings of the house, may rule out any question which violates the privileges of parliament in the same way as he deals with irregularities in motions and amendments. (M. 239; 2 Red. 243). He may make an alteration in the question (M. 240) or refer it back to the member for correction (b. 313). A member may call the attention of the house to the matter and may challenge the action *of the Speaker.
Citation 297 reads as follows:
A certain number of oral questions are permitted in practice by members, without notice, before the orders of the day are called; but these are merely allowed by courtesy in connection with the business of the house or with very urgent and important matters of public concern.
As I understood His Honour the Speaker, he actually quoted what is contained in citation
297	of Beauchesne. I repeat:
. . . but these are merely allowed by courtesy in connection with the business of the house or with very urgent and important matters of public concern.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: "Or".


James Allison Glen: I continue :
They are always brief, no debate being permitted, and the replies are as concise as possible. The minister interrogated may reply at once or may direct that the usual notice be given. Such questions are governed by the same rules of order as questions of which notice has been given.
It has 'been the practice in this house for many years to allow questions on the orders of the day; if they are of immediate public concern and must necessarily have an immediate answer, they are allowed by courtesy of the house. But where the matter is not urgent, and where the question can well be placed on the order paper, the practice is-and it is a good practice-that it should be placed upon the ' order paper so that the government and the minister in charge may be in a position to give the answer to -which the member asking is entitled. That practice has been established, and His Honour the Speaker has to-day followed exactly the practice that has been in vogue in this parliament for many years.


Mr.  M. J. COLD WELL@Rosetown-Biggar: I- should like to ask under what standing order this ruling is made. I quite agree that it is a matter of courtesy, and I think it expedites the giving of answers if we send notices of the questions, as I usually try to do. I believe that what has been read to us are citations. An hon. member can take the rule book of
FMr. Mackenzie.]
this parliament and can read citations to prove anything. This brings before us once more the necessity of going into these rules and citations to protect His Honour the Speaker and the hon. members,'particularly hon. members on this side of the house, so that we may know exactly where we stand.
May I suggest, Mr. Speaker, that while we must have rules of order, and courtesies must be observed-because those courtesies, as I have just said, enable the minister to answer in an expeditious and authoritative way- latitude should be allowed to hon. members who feel that they have something of urgent importance to bring to the attention of the house.
The hon. member for The Battlefords (Mr. Campbell) raised a question a few moments ago which was in his opinion an urgent one. As a matter of fact he discussed with me whether it should be put on the order paper, and I thought it was of such importance to the western hog raisers that it should be: asked on the orders of the day. It does bring before, us once, again the necessity of examining these rules with a view to their revision. May I reiterate what I said the other day? I do not think the decisions of a Speaker of one parliament ought to bind parliament forever. We have rules and standing orders. Those rules or standing orders should govern this institution, not the variable rulings-and some of them are variable-of former Speakers of this house. Each parliament, in my opinion, is master of its own procedure.


Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):: May I say one word in reply to the hon. member who has just spoken? If the rules of the house are to be made wide enough to [DOT] allow all questions to 'be asked on the orders of the day, then hon. members on this side . will of course discard the usual practice of finding the proper answers by going directly to the minister. Hon. members on this side no doubt get the same telegrams and requests as do hon. members on the other side. The procedure is for hon. members of the opposition to get up-and we have all done it-to ask questions for publicity's sake.


Mr.  M. J. COLD WELL@Rosetown-Biggar: Oh, no.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: No.


Thomas Reid: We all get the same telegrams as do the members of the opposition, and we could rise on the orders of the day and ask the same questions; but we do not. We go at it in a practical way and ask the minister who is responsible.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: So do we.

Demobilization-Army


Thomas Reid: Just be frank about this thing; let us face facts. I am facing facts right now.
With regard to the rules of the house, we had an experience last year of what happens when an attempt is made to amend the rules of the house. If the hon. members for Rose-town-Biggar can show us how the rules as amended will pass, I shall be very happy. I am referring to the debate that took place last year.	.


An hon. MEMBER.:: So what?


Thomas Reid: That is that.


James Horace King: I should like to say that since the opening of this parliament-and I think the same thing has happened in the past-quite a lot of criticism has been offered on this same question. Unfortunately for the Speaker it is very hard to please everybody. Since the beginning of the session I have done everything I could to be fair to both sides of the house, and I think I have been generous, especially to the leaders of the parties when they were asking questions, even though I thought some of them were out of order. I felt that I should be generous to the leaders of the parties; and I tried to be. It is my duty to apply the rules of the house as they are written. So far as questions are concerned the rules are very clear. The Rules and Forms indicate that questions on the orders of the day, should be brief and to the point, and that hon. members should not quote from newspapers, telegrams, and the like. As the hon. member for Rosetown-Biggar has said, if the house feels that, for the protection of our parliamentary institutions, these rules are not all that they should be, it is the duty of the house to form a committee and amend them.



[Stage Direction]
The house resumed from Tuesday, October 9, consideration in committee of a resolution to grant to His Majesty certain sums of money for the carrying out of measures deemed necessary or advisable in consequence of the war-Mr. Ilsley-Mr. Macdonald (Brantford City) in the chair.

Hon. DOUGLAS ABBOTT (Minister of National Defence):: Mr. Chairman, it has been the custom in past sessions in presenting the defence estimates to give a brief operational summary as to what has taken place since the
last report was presented. I should like to follow that course to-day, probably for the last time.
Some hon. members will recall that at the last session I reviewed the operations of our forces from D-day to the beginning of March, at which time the German army had been swept clear from the west bank of the Rhine and north of the Moselle river. Following the clean-up of the west bank of the Rhine the Canadian forces were regrouped for the initial attack across the Rhine. Our forces participated in the crossings of the Rhine that started on March 23, and once again were on the left flank of the assault that was to end in the final defeat of the German armies. The Canadian paratroop battalion was also with the British airborne division that was dropped across the Rhine on the same day. Meanwhile the first Canadian corps was moving from Italy to northwest Europe and during March its units took over a sector on the extreme left of the long allied line. With the reversion of the second corps to the command of the first Canadian, army on the first day of April, all the units of the Canadian Army were fighting together for the first time in its history.
Following the initial crossing and consolidation of the bridgehead across the Rhine, the Canadian army was given the task of clearing Holland. These operations may be broken down into two phases, the first consisting of the initial breaking of the hard crust of resistance and the sealing off of northwestern Holland, and the second being the rapid advances and clearing of northeastern Holland followed by the turn eastwards into Germany to invest the Emden and Wilhelmshaven pocket.
In the first phase our forces attacked from the Nijmegen-Emmerich sector northwestwards, and by April 19 they had reached the shores of the Zuider Zee, thus permanently sealing off the enemy forces caught in southwestern Holland. The first corps turned westwards to deal with this trapped enemy force and ran into stiff opposition, but to the north in Holland resistance was quickly broken. By the middle of April the second corps had reached the north coast of Holland on the Ems estuary and the Kusten canal further east in Germany.
During the second phase, northeast Holland was quickly cleared by our forces against light opposition. On the right very strong opposition was met along the Kusten canal. Similarly the first corps, working slowly into western Holland, also came up against stiff resistance. By the end of the month a truce was arranged to allow food convoys to enter this part of Holland to relieve conditions of extreme food
Demobilization-Army

shortages among the Dutch civilians, and active operations were not again resumed in this sector.
To the north in Germany a bridgehead was established over the Kusten canal on the 17th of April which was expanding northwards into the Emden-Wilhelmshaven peninsula, when the German forces in. northwest Germany and Holland surrendered unconditionally on the 5th of May.
It was fitting that the surrender of the remaining German forces in the Netherlands should be made to a Canadian commander, since our forces played such an important part in the liberation of the territory of this gallant ally. The surrender of all the German forces in the Netherlands, naval and air as well as army, was made by Colonel-General Johannes Blaskowitz to Lieutenant-General Foulkes, then commanding the first Canadian corps and now chief of the general staff. The number of German forces surrendered in the Netherlands was over 185,000.
Before leaving this brief review of the active operations of our forces, may I point out that in the ten months of continuous fighting since D-day the Canadian Army, always fighting on the left and vital-if less spectacular-flank of the allied armies, over the most difficult country, encountered and defeated no fewer than fifty-nine German divisions.
Immediately following the capitulation, our forces began to make their way into western Holland, where they were received with enthusiasm by the civilian papulation. The Canadian Army was then faced with the difficult task of disarming a. greatly superior force of the enemy; the organization and relief of the large civilian population, hungry, and excited by'the sudden turn of events, and the co-ordination of the underground' forces, who were armed and eager to deal with the defeated enemy. This whole operation was accomplished without incident, and is greatly to the credit of the commanders and troops concerned.
The concentration and move out of Holland of the German 25th army was supervised and controlled by our forced, and this difficult undertaking was practically completed by the 15th of June. Meanwhile it was necessary to set up an effective military government in the area of Germany under Canadian command, to restore order in the Netherlands as well as in German territory, to prevent the spread of disease and to develop the essential services and the. welfare of the civilian population. Added to these, problems was the intricate question of the provision for handling the

large numbers of prisoners of war and displaced persona who were migrating in large numbers over the area controlled by our forces. All these measures were carried, out in the most efficient and satisfactory manner, so that by the. 14th of June General Crerar's responsibility for military government in the German area was concluded and handed over to the occupational district corps command, and by the 30th of June the Dutch authorities were able to resume their functions after the long usurpation by the Germans.
During this time the important problems of reallocation and repatriation of the army's man-power were receiving attention, and all ranks were at once informed of the requirements for the Pacific war and for the army of occupation. On the 4th of July a composite batallion, made up of three different units and accompanied by a band, entered Berlin for a tour of duty of several weeks under command of headquarters of the British troops in Berlin. Machinery was set up in the Netherlands for the organization of the Canadian Army occupation force and for the early return of volunteers for the far east and of long service personnel.
The organization of the occupation force under command of Major-General C. Vokes was completed rapidly, and this force moved into Germany between the 5th and 12th of July to take up its occupation duties in the Emden-Wilhelmshaven area under command of the British 30th corps district.
Preparations were made for the immediate dispatch to United Kingdom repatriation depots of the volunteers for the Pacific force. This force was being organized in Canada as a division to operate against Japan under command of United States forces. It was therefore necessary to reorganize and to reequip this force along United States lines, although the uniforms were to have been Canadian. As the units were formed and the volunteers were returned from the army overseas, they were concentrated in camps across Canada, together with the necessary reinforcements that it was proposed should move with the force. The units of this force with its reinforcements, after their organization and preliminary training, were to have moved to Camp Breckenridge in Kentucky to complete its organization and training under United States army command. At the time of the capitulation of Japan, this force was still in Canada and was accordingly disbanded.
That, Mr. Chairman, is briefly the record of the information available since the last report I gave the house at the previous session early in April.

Demobilization-Army
Before discussing the problem of demobilization and outlining plans for the future, I should like to give the committee a short statistical resume of the development of the Canadian Army during the war.
In round figures one million men and forty-five thousand women have served in the armed forces since the outbreak of the war. This exceeds by more than 60 per cent the
620.000	who served in the war of 1914-18.
Enlistments and enrolments for the army
alone number some 730,000 including 25,000 women. Of the total, 630,000 were volunteers while 100,000 men served under the provision of the National Resources Mobilization Act. In all, 158,000 men entered the army under the National Resources Mobilization Act, but over 57,000 of these enlisted for general service in the army. In addition nearly 6,000 more transferred to the navy or air force as volunteers. I am dealing, of course, in round figures.
Of the 730,000 who have served in the army,
45.000	served in commissioned ranks. Of this number, 26,000 were appointed from the reserve army or direct from civilian life and
19.000	from the ranks. However, excluding doctors, dentists, chaplains and nurses who are all appointed direct to 'Commissioned ranks, over half of the remaining officers received their promotion from the ranks of the active army.
Until March, 1944, the strength of the army grew more or less continuously, reaching a total of 495,000 all ranks at that time. From that date forward total casualties and discharges were about equal to the numbers enlisting or being enrolled and the strength of the armj' remained almost constant until V-E day.
Over 370,000 all ranks served in the European zone-the highest strength at any one time being over 280,000. This strength was reached during the last few months before V-E day.
The maximum strength in Canada at any one time was 265,000 in May, 1943. This does not include those in so-called adjacent territories. This maximum strength was reached at a time when it was necessary to have comparatively large operational forces in Canada for the protection of our coasts as well as to have a large number in training for the completion of the army overseas and for reinforcements to maintain it. From May, 1943, forward, the strength of the army in Canada decreased because of the disbandment of various formations as the strategic situation improved and the dispatch overseas of units and reinforcements for the first Canadian army.
In addition to the troops in Canada, we had operational units in Alaska and in the islands of the Atlantic. At one time in November, 1943, we had over 14,000 troops in these areas, but this number decreased as it became more and more apparent that the enemy would not be able to bring an attack to bear in these regions.
Up to 30 September last, the total number of casualties reported was 80,530 including
22,553	fatal casualties. We may be thankful that the casualties in this war were so much lighter than in the war of 1914-18, when nearly 60,000 soldiers lost their lives, and the total casualties numbered nearly 200,000 The 80,530 include, besides the 22,553 fatal casualties, 51,487 wounded, 6,435 prisoners of war and 55 currently listed as missing.
There were 505 who died while prisoners of war. In the over-all casualty figures which I have given, these have been included in the fatal casualties rather than among the prisoners of war.	-
The grand total of 80,530 is made up of 76,514 casualties in the European zone, 1,990 in the Asiatic zone and 2,026 in the western hemisphere. The latter is made up of deaths from natural causes as well as from accidents in training, and the like.
In the total are included 6,071 men who were reported as casualties on two occasions, 492 on three occasions, 27 on four occasions, while two were wounded on five occasions. These are included two, three, four or five times as the case may be, in the total of 80,530 which I mentioned.
The two hardy young men, both born in 1919, who were wounded on five occasions each, seem to have had little respect for German ammunition, for one man remained on duty on two of the occasions on which he was wounded, while the other remained on duty on three of the five occasions. Both these young men have recovered from their wounds; one is still overseas at latest report, while the other returned to Canada in May of this year, and was discharged on grounds of long service in July. I might mention that one served with the composite American Canadian force, known as the special service battalion, while the other was with the good old Princess Patricia's Canadian light infantry.
I suppose that every soldier serving overseas tries to bring back with him some souvenir from the battlefield or from the places of interest he visited. There is one variety of prize of which I feel I should make special mention. I mentioned this a day or two ago. I refer to some 32,000 war brides from the British isles, along with 16,500 children. Both those figures are constantly increasing. Five

Demobilization-Army

thousand army brides and 3,500 children had been brought to Canada up to V-E day, while another 7,000 wives and 4,600 children came between V-E day and the end of August. At that time there were 20,000 wives and 8,400 children still in the United Kingdom. These will be brought out to their new homes as rapidly as shipping will permit, although, at the present time, priority is being given to the returning soldiers.
In what I have just said I have tried to outline broadly the more important figures as to strengths, and the like. I shall now try to give the committee a little more detail of what has happened since V-E day.
At that time, the strength of the army was a little more than 490,000, over 280,000 of these in the European zone. Plans at that time called for the immediate formation of the Canadian Army Pacific force and the Canadian Army occupation force. In addition, attention had to be directed to the repatriation of other soldiers and to the demobilization of personnel not required for those forces or the continuing administration and training establishments.
A total of 83,370 volunteered for service with the Canadian Army, Pacific force, 37.304 among personnel serving in the European zone and 46.066 from personnel serving in Canada and adjacent territories. There were 8,253 women included in these totals. The number repatriated from Europe for the Pacific force was approximately 25,000.
Following the defeat of Japan, and the decision that Canada's share in occupational duties, would, in so far as the army was concerned, be confined to the European zone, the Canadian Army Pacific force was disbanded. The personnel of the force were reallocated to other duties, or if eligible for and desiring discharge, were put into the demobilization stream.
The occupation force in Germany consisting of a reformed third Canadian division and certain ancillary troops, numbered on the 30th of September, 1945, 21,549 all ranks. This included 6,777 personnel who volunteered for this duty, the remainder being detailed.
Already 111.000 men of the army have returned to Canada from the European zone since V-E day, leaving fewer than 175,000 there at the present time. The number repatriated up to the present has been somewhat in excess of our expectations as announced in July last by my predecessor.
Although I must speak with the greatest caution because there are so many demands for shipping for troops of all the united nations in the various parts of the. world, I may say that if present plans mature all of 
the army overseas, with the exception of the occupation force and necessary staffs in England, should be repatriated by March or April 1946.
May I at this point appeal to the press to refrain from over-optimistic comments on our repatriation programme. I know it has not been intentional, but there has been a certain idea allowed to get abroad when we have made announcements that additional shipping has been obtained that we can get so many men home by Christmas or so many men home by a certain date. The department is cautious, and I am most cautious about making predictions. The one which I have just given to the committee represents the best, view before us, that is to say, that we shall be able to get all our boys back, with the exception of those in the occupation forces and necessary staff, by late March or April, 1946.
Any mathematical calculations based upon the size of ships that may be allocated to us are apt to be misleading, so I appeal to those who may be discussing these matters to refrain from over-optimistic predictions as to what, may result. I have a most vivid recollection of my own experience sitting in England from November, 1918 to June, 1919, and hearing about other people going home.
I thought I had been forgotten; I thought that shipping had been allocated to everybody but to the Canadians to get them back home.
I know when men are so far away as these men are it is unfortunate if unauthorized and perhaps over-optimistic statements are issued as to what the prospects are. The prospects are good because we are ahead of our expectations as announced last July. I hope that we shall at least maintain that, and perhaps improve it. I do not. want to say that we will improve it until I know definitely that we are going to be able to do it.
Since V-E day the numbers being discharged have increased rapidly month by month, reaching 34,000 for the month of September. I think the best day we have had was last Friday, -when something like 1,950 were discharged and some 500 put. out on extended leave. We are running at the rate of approximately 2,500 for discharges and extended leave. The total discharged from V-E day to date is just over 100,000. Incidentally, I might mention that a reduction in strength of 100,000 corresponds to a saving of about $12,000,000 a month in day-to-day costs for pay and allowances, messing, quarters, clothing and the like.
In addition, the number on extended leave has been increased from 10,000 on V-E day to over 20,000 at the present time.

Demobilization-Army
Although I have already dealt with the matter briefly in the debate on the address I think that perhaps the committee would like to have a somewhat more comprehensive statement of the principles upon which the process of demobilizing the Canadian army is being carried out. There are in this process three main aspects each of which involves its own distinct considerations. I shall refer only to the aspects of repatriation, which is the return to Canada of troops who have been serving overseas, and of discharge, which is the return of the individual to civil life. The third aspect, which is rehabilitation, is not within the army ambit, but comes under the administration of my colleague the Minister of Veterans Affairs.
The common principle underlying the whole scheme of demobilization has always been, and in future, will continue to be th^t subject to the exigencies of the service and to the national interests, the personnel with the longest and hardest service should be given first opportunity to return to civil life. However, the loose description of this as a policy of "first in-first out" is somewhat misleading, as it ignores the two essential qualifications to which the main principle has always been subject.' It is inevitable that there should occasionally occur some combination of circumstances or unusual conditions wherein a general policy becomes inapplicable, or wherein an exception must be made. In such an event the interests of Canada or of the majority of personnel directly concerned must, in the final instance, receive' preference over the single person or minor group affected. The circumstances must always be viewed as a whole-and judgment cannot be correctly passed in the light of a single factor or isolated incident.
It is, of course, highly essential to maintain the effective administration, welfare and discipline of the troops still awaiting repatriation or discharge and where this depends upon the particular ability or experience of any individuals, they must continue to be retained for a further period even though they might nominally be eligible, and presumably entitled, to repatriation or discharge. The commander in the field is the only man who can judge all the circumstances as a whole and properly decide whether, in a particular instance, the eligibility and wishes of the individual must give way to the greater needs of the army as represented by the mass of other servicemen in that formation or area in order to adequately supervise the remaining troops and take care of their material needs by experienced tradesmen and specialists.	[DOT]
47696-72J
The corollary of such a policy is that "freezing" of personnel should be kept to the minimum, and constant reviews made to release such personnel as soon as their services can be dispensed with or a replacement trained and made available. Some mistakes will be inevitable, but I am confident that the respective commanders in the field, whether in formation or in unit, by whom decisions in respect of individuals have to be made, will use their judgment in a capable, fair and impartial way.
Similarly, it may have to be determined by the government, on taking all circumstances into account, that a variation or exception to the basic principle is requisite in the national interest for purposes such as carrying on vital industries or developing basic resources to create added employment, easing the critical housing shortage, lessening the gap in higher education caused by the war, or meeting the man-power shortage in certain primary industries. It is a cardinal principle, however, that the soldier still overseas awaiting his turn for repatriation and discharge should not be prejudiced in obtaining employment through any such variation or exception.
The individual point score system is the means of giving expression to the basic principle that I have been discussing but this, being a relative measurement of service, does not, of itself, constitute an absolute right to discharge: it. must be applied with due regard to the other qualifying factors which I have just mentioned as being inherent in the process of demobilization.
As all members of the committee, I think, are aware, the point score is determined by allotting three points for each month of service overseas and two points for each month of service in Canada. To the total of these, a further 20 per cent is added where the individual has marital status as a married man, a widower or a divorced man with a dependent child. The scoring is effective over the period from September 10, 1939, until the selected datum date, March 31, 1945
Point scores are being used as a guide in determining priorities for repatriation as well as priorities for discharge, but these are two separate and distinct operations. The conditions and relative interests involved by one are not the same in extent and degree as those which concern the other. Therefore, the considerations which necessitate and justify an accelerated discharge in advance of the normal priority by score are applicable only in respect of discharge and would not ordinarily carry any entitlement to accelerated repatriation from overseas. The only
Demobilization-Army

exceptions at present are cases of accelerated repatriation for return of "key" men in essential industry or for discharge on compassionate grounds. On the other hand, although a wide range of point scores may be possessed by personnel who have been returned to Canada as a unit, they will be required to await discharge here according to their relative scores or other qualifications for release.
The' regulations governing discharge are established and administered by National Defence headquarters in conformity with the broad policies and objects determined by the government. But while the broad principles in respect of repatriation are first submitted for approval by the government and National Defence headquarters as appropriate, the operative regulations are developed through Canadian military headquarters at London, and their detailed application is carried out by Canadian military headquarters and by headquarters Canadian forces Netherlands through their local commanders in the field. They are best in a position- to evaluate all the local circumstances as well as individual characteristics and experience when making final decision as to administrative needs or as to what individual may necessarily have to be retained beyond his normal expectation.
The basic plan for repatriation is, I believe, sound and straightforward, but its detailed application has involved most careful study and planning. The primary concern has been to return to Canada as soon as possible those men who had been separated from their homes and families for many long years. But precedence had necessarily to be given to the operational need of immediately moving the Canadian Army Pacific force volunteers to this country for their inclusion with the American force that was destined for the Pacific.
The limited shipping resources made it inevitable that some months must pass before the bulk of Canadian troops could be returned home and this necessitated continuation of their organization as formations and units overseas in order to adequately administer and maintain the troops during their period of waiting. Alternatively, hardship, inconvenience or discomfort might well result fiom breakdown of an improvised or sketchy organization. Consideration also had to be given to the interest in Canada in the return of units having a militia affiliation and territorial identity so that the invaluable provincial and community interest in such units would be recognized and formation of a strong peace-time militia assisted.

Thus it was decided in principle that following the return of men with very long service, which was to be carried out at far as feasible, the men with relatively shorter service should return by units or unit drafts in the order in which their original formations proceeded overseas, i.e., First Canadian Division, Second Canadian Division, Third Canadian Division, Fifth Armoured Division and Fourth Armoured Division. This repatriation plan, and the basis for point scoring, were duly notified to all ranks overseas by the pamphlet "After Victory in Europe" issued to them immediately following V-E day. I suppose that the committee has seen this pamphlet, which was issued by General Crerar early in May.
Exact adherence to the descending order of point scores in return of personnel would naturally result in depletion of officers both commissioned and non-commissioned, at a more rapid rate than would apply to private soldiers for, on the average, officers would have longer service. No army can function effectively without an adequate proportion of commissioned and non-commissioned officers, and accordingly a certain number of them proportionate to the total strength must be retained despite their length of service.
Moreover, the services necessary for maintenance of the health and comfort of the troops involve retention of a proper proportion of certain specialists or tradesmen, such as cooks, clerks, medical orderlies, etc. In fact, some tradesmen, such as clerks for instance, are required in even greater numbers than normal when troops are being demobilized owing to the great increase in documentation that is involved.
The exact stage at which the further return of individuals, according to height of point score, would begin to seriously affect organization and administration of the remaining troops, had to be determined by the commander in the field and it was with all these considerations in mind that General Crerar was finally obliged to decide that personnel with point scores below fifty would be retained for duty with the occupation force, and that for personnel with scores between 50 and 149 points, return would be carried out by units according to their respective formations. That movement is now in progress, and the majority of units of first Canadian division are now home.
With reduction not only in total numbers of personnel, but also in the numbers of units being maintained overseas, it becomes possible to correspondingly reduce the extent, though not the degree, of services provided. Thus it becomes possible, by interposting, to progres-

Demobilization-Jirmy
sively take out the next higher point score men from among the remaining units and return them in what we call Canada drafts between the moves of the divisions. This works out a balance between individuals and units with fairness to each of them.
Current moves, which are now virtually completed, have been, first, personnel with a point score of 150 and over who could be spared repatriated in Canada drafts, and second, units of the 1st Division group.
Future moves as at present planned are:
1.	Canada drafts made up of personnel with 130 points and over who can be spared.
2. Units of 2nd Division group, followed by more Canada drafts made up of personnel with point score down to 110.
3.	Units of 3rd Division group, followed by more Canada drafts with point score down to 90.
4. Units of 5th Division group and 4th Division group, followed by remaining personnel from headquarters and repatriation depots.
I should mention here that units of divisions moving as such will return to Canada with all personnel on strength at time of moving having a score of 50 points or over. Those with a score of less than 50 points will remain for further duty.
The units of army troops will be disbanded as the administrative requirements of the remaining formations permit and their services are no longer required. Individuals who can be spared will be repatriated in Canada drafts appropriate to their point score.
This repatriation plan which I have briefly outlined was first announced by General ' Crerar early in May and has also been explained in detail to the overseas troops by means of a pamphlet recently issued by Lieutenant-General Simonds, Commander of the Canadian forces in the Netherlands.
On V-E day there were of course more men with high point scores overseas than there were in Canada, but the shipping situation imposed a restriction on the number of them that could become available in Canada for early discharge. The sudden arrival of V-J day brought a great demand in Canada for man-power to assist in reconversion and development of industry. In these circumstances, it would obviously not be in the national interest to maintain a considerable number of soldiers in idleness in Canada, to await the return for discharge of slightly higher point score personnel from overseas.
It was therefore decided that demobilization of some of the troops in Canada had to be carried out, but in so doing, the just claims of the overseas troops to priority in obtaining employment must be protected.
The classes now made eligible for discharge from those serving in Canada have therefore been restricted as far as possible to groups who would not compete for employment, that is, students or personnel returning to jobs in which they are entitled to be reinstated.
Discharge may now be obtained, subject to the needs of the service, on point score alone if it is 120 points or over (as of March 31, 1945) which means that even if the individual has served Tn Canada only, he must have entered the army before March 1941 if married, and before May 1940 if single. I do not think that anyone should object to the discharge of a man who has served four and a half years.
In the case of men who are eligible for release to return to their former civil employment, or to work of national importance upon application by the employer through the appropriate industrial selection and release committee, they are not granted a full discharge unless they have a score within 20 points of the current qualifying score which means at present that they must have at least 100 points. If they have a lesser score they are only given extended leave without pay and allowances and are not eligible for discharge until their point score is as great as the current qualifying limit which at present is 120 points.
Apart from the other normal grounds for discharge which have always existed during the war, a service man is now entitled to a discharge: (i) if he has been wounded, is a liberated prisoner of war or has served more than two years overseas; (ii) if he has served in the war 1914-1918; (iii) if he has attained 42 years of age; (iv) if he had not attained 19 years of age by V-J day; (v) if he was one of the very few who on V-J day were still in district depot awaiting transfer to a training unit.
Resumption of university .or equivalent higher education has also been made a basis for immediate discharge and while this may be extended to a limited degree with respect to secondary schools, it does not include resumption of technical or business training. The reason for this is fairly obvious: while the war caused a complete gap for almost six years in university training, there has not been the same material diminution in secondary education and, taking into account the personnel trained in the army or in war plants, there has even likely been an increase, in trades or technically trained people as a result of the war.
In other instances where there is an acute need of man-power soldiers can be placed on extended leave, without pay or allowances, but they still belong to the army and can be
Demobilization-Army

la so far as the reserve army is concerned, it is to be organized as a force of six divisions with supporting armoured elements and selected corps and army troops for an army of two corps. In addition, the reserve army will include our operational coast and anti-aircraft . artillery units and supporting services necessary for the static defence of the country.
So far as the plans have so far progressed, service in the reserve army will be on a parttime basis, and it is intended that the present three-year term of engagement will be continued. Adequate equipment of the latest type will be available on a generous scale to ensure that the training of the reserve army is realistic and interesting. It is intended to assist commanding officers of reserve army units in the training and administration of their personnel by providing for each unit full time (active force) officers and other ranks on an' adequate scale.
Those who are familiar with the existing organization of the reserve army will appreciate that the new proposals follow generally the pattern of its present organization and are consistent with the arrangement of our active force during the war. A rearrangement of
units will be necessary in order to secure the numbers and types required in the light of modern operational experience. I may add that it is intended to consult the representatives of the various defence associations, whose cooperation and assistance have been of great value to the department in the past, before the resulting changes in the present composition of the reserve army are finally decided.
I hope that many of those who have seen service in the present war will continue that service in the reserve army so that this important force which will form the background of any possible future military endeavour will, as far as possible, be led by commissioned and non-commissioned officers who have gained field experience in the active army under conditions of modern warfare.
This, Mr. Chairman, completes the review of operations and strengths and future plans, but with the permission of the committee, as in past sessions, I should like to place on Hansard the names of 2,433 members of the Canadian Army to whom honours and awards for gallantry, and foreign decorations and awards, have been granted.

Mr. GREEN:: Could the minister give
the approximate number for the reserve army?


Douglas Charles Abbott: I am afraid I cannot at the moment. The strength of six divisions plus would indicate that it would be somewhere in the vicinity of 130,000 to 150,000 men, with supporting troops which might be somewhat substantially in excess of that. Before giving a definite answer I would want to discuss it with the chief of the general staff to see what his views are as to that. The general picture, as I have indicated, is a force of six divisions plus the usual headquarters staff and supporting troops.
The committee will recall that lists of operational awards and honours have been submitted previously. With those which I have presented to-day, the total is 5,765. Included in the list are the names of three members of the army who received the Victoria Cross. I regret to say that one of these, Sergeant Aubrey Cosens, of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, was killed in action and the cross was awarded posthumously. The other two, Major Frederick Albert Tilston of the Essex Scottish and Corporal Frederick George Topham of the first Canadian parachute battalion, happily survived and have been repatriated.
The citations in the cases of Sergeant Cosens and Captain Tilston appeared in the Canada Gazette of May 26, 1945, and in the case of Corporal Topham in the Gazette of August 4, 1945. I shall read them, Mr. Chairman, in order that they may be on Hansard.
First, that of Sergeant Cosens reads as follows:
The king has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the Victoria Cross (posthumously) to:
B.46495 Sergeant Aubrey Cosens, the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada
In Holland on the night of February 25-26, 1945, the first battalion the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada launched an attack on the hamlet of Mooshof to capture ground which was considered essential for the successful development of future operations.
Sergeant Cosens platoon with two tanks in support attacked enemy strong-points in three farm buildings but were twice beaten back by fanatical enemy resistance and then fiercely counter-attacked during which time the platoon suffered heavy casualties and the platoon commander was killed.
Sergeant Cosens at once assumed command of the only other four survivors of his platoon whom he placed in a position to give him covering fire while he himself ran across open ground under heavy mortar and shell fire to
Demobilization-Army

the one remaining tank where, regardless of danger, he took up an exposed place in front ot the turret and directed his fire.
After a further enemy counter-attack had been repulsed, Sergeant Cosens ordered the tank to attack the farm building while the four survivors of his platoon followed in close support. After the tank had rammed the first building he entered alone killing several of the defenders and taking the rest prisoners.
Single-handed he then entered the second and third buildings and perosnally killed or captured all the occupants although under intense machine gun and small arm fire.
Just after the successful reduction of these important enemy strong-points Sergeant Cosens was shot through the head by an enemy sniper and died almost instantly.
The outstanding gallantry, initiative and determined leadership of the brave N.C.O. who himself killed at least twenty of the enemy and took an equal number of prisoners resulted in the capture of a position which was vital to the success of the future operations of the brigade.
The second, the citation of Major Frederick Albert Tilston, reads as follows:
The king has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the Victoria Cross to:
Captain (Acting Major) Frederick Albert Tilston,
the Essex Scottish.
The second Canadian division had been given the task of breaking through the strongly fortified Hochwald forest defence line which covered Xanten, the last German bastion west of the Rhine protecting the vital Wesel bridge escape route.
The Essex Scottish regiment was ordered to breach the defence line northwest of Udem and to clear the northern half of the forest through which the balance of the brigade would pass.
At 0715 hours on first March, 1945, the attack was launched but due to the softness of the ground it was found impossible to support the attack by tanks as had been planned.
Across approximately 500 yards of flat open country in face of intense enemy fire Major Tilston personally led his company in the attack keeping dangerously close to our own bursting shells in order to get the maximum cover from the barrage. Though wounded in the head, he continued to lead his men forward through a belt of wire ten feet in depth to the enemy trenches shouting orders and encouragement and using his sten gun with great effect. When the platoon on the left came under heavy fire from an enemy machine gun post, he dashed forward personally and silenced it with a grenade. He was first to reach the enemy position and take the first prisoner.
Determined tq maintain the momentum of the attack he ordered the reserve platoon to mop up these positions and with outstanding gallantry pressed on with his main force to the second line of enemy defences which were on the edge of the woods.
As he approached the woods he was severely wounded in the hip and fell to the ground. Shouting to his men to carry on without him and urging them to get into the wood he struggled to his feet and rejoined them as they reached the trenches on their objective. Here an elaborate system of underground dugouts and trenches was manned in considerable fMr. Abbott.]
strength and vicious hand to hand fighting followed. Despite his wounds, Major Tilston's unyielding will to close with the enemy was a magnificent inspiration to his men as' he led them in systematically clearing the trenches of the fiercely resisting enemy. In this fighting two German company headquarters were overrun and many casualties were inflicted on the fanatical defenders.
Such had been the grimness of the fighting and so savage the enemy resistance that the company was now reduced to only twenty-six men, one-quarter of its original strength. Before consolidation could be completed the enemy counter-attacked repeatedly supported by a hail of mortar and machine gun fire from the open flank. Major Tilston moved in the open from platoon to platoon quickly organizing their defence and directing fire against the advancing enemy. The enemy attacks penetrated so close to the positions that grenades were thrown into the trenches held by his troops but this officer by personal contact, unshakeable confidence and unquenchable enthusiasm so inspired his men that they held firm against great odds.
When the supply of ammunition became a serious problem he repeatedly crossed the bullet swept ground to the company on his right flank to carry grenades, rifle and bren ammunition to his troops and replaced a damaged wireless set to reestablish communications with battalion headquarters. He made at least six of these hazardous trips each time crossing a road which was dominated by intense fire from numerous well-sited enemy machine gun posts.
On his last trip he was wounded for the third time, this time in the leg. He was found in a shell crater beside the road. Although very seriously wounded and barely conscious he would not submit to medical attention until he had given complete instructions as to the defence plan, had emphasized the absolute necessity of holding the position and had ordered his one remaining officer to take over.
By his calm courage, gallant conduct and total disregard for his own safety, he fired his men with grim determination and their firm stand enabled the regiment to accomplish its object of furnishing the brigade with a solid base through which to launch further successful attacks to clear the forest thus enabling the division to accomplish its task.
The final citation, Mr. Chairman, is that of Corporal Frederick George Topham, which reads as follows:
The king has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the Victoria Cross to:
B.39039 Corporal Frederick George Topham, 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion
On 24th March, 1945, Corporal Topham, a medical orderly, parachuted with his battalion onto a strongly defended area east of the Rhine. At about 1100 hours whilst treating casualties sustained in the drop, a cry for help came from a wounded man in the open. Two medical orderlies from a field ambulance went out to this man in succession but both were killed as they knelt beside the casualty.
Without hesitation and on his own initiative Corporal Topham went forward through intense fire to replace the orderlies who had been killed before his eyes. As he worked on the wounded man, he was himself shot through the nose. In spite of severe bleeding and intense pain be never faltered in his task. Having

Demobilization-Army
completed immediate first aid, he carried the wounded man steadily and slowly back through continuous fire to the shelter of the woods.
During the next two hours Corporal Topham refused all offers of medical help for his own wound. He worked most devotedly throughout this period to bring in wounded, showing complete disregard for the heavy and accurate enemy fire. It was only when all casualties had been cleared that he consented to his own wound being treated.
His immediate evacuation was ordered, but he. interceded so earnestly on his own behalf that he was eventually allowed to return to duty.
On his way back to his company he came across a carrier, which had received a direct hit. Enemy mortar bombs were still dropping around, the carrier itself was burning fiercely and its own mortar ammunition was exploding, an experienced officer on the spot had warned all not to approach the carrier.	-
Corporal Topham, however, immediately went out alone in spite of the blasting ammunition and enemy fire, and rescued the three occupants of the carrier. He brought these men back across the open and, although one died almost immediately afterwards, he arranged for the evacuation of the other two, who undoubtedly owe their lives to him.
This non-commissioned officer showed sustained gallantry of the highest order, for six hours, most of the time in great pain. He performed series of acts of outstanding bravery and his magnificent and selfless courage inspired all those who witnessed it.


Mr. PEARKES:: was awarded a distinction, and when I wear the ribbon on my uniform I do so in the full knowledge that that award was made every bit as much for the courage, determination and devotion of those French-speaking soldiers as for any action which I carried out myself.
At a more recent date, in 1943, it was my privilege to see the Regiment de Hull, which came from this immediate area, standing for hours in the waters of the Bering sea, unloading stores from the boats on to the island of Kiska; and on armistice day, in November, 1943, I spent that day in the tents of the Regiment de Hull. There was an arctic blizzard blowing and the instruments registered that gale as blowing at ninety miles an hour. One could hardly stand up against it. The freezing sleet would blow horizontally to the ground, and I say here, and nobody who was on that island could contradict me, that those French-Canadian ' soldiers of the Regiment de Hull were the life and soul of that garrison, be they Canadian or United States soldiers who were there.
Therefore when those French-Canadian soldiers who had been called up under the N.R.M.A. were appealed to last year to volunteer many of them had to wrestle between two loyalties, one loyalty that might be described as parental loyalty, a loyalty to their home and to their family, as against a loyalty to a cause which they barely understood. With regard to the decision to be made whether they should go back on promises they had made when they were first called up, promises to their parents that they would not volunteer for service outside Canada, whether that decision should be madeJ by them or by the government, they were unanimous in feeling that the decision should be made by the government and not by the individual man. No wonder those men placed the responsibility squarely upon the shoulders of the government. This man-power skeleton will remain long in the Liberal cupboard.
I suggest that even at this eleventh hour, in the interests of efficiency, for the wellbeing of the N.R.M.A. soldiers who are still here and for the sake of the unity of Canada, this two-army system be discontinued from now on.
Our soldiers are returning, but I suggest that the methods by which they are being repatriated are open to the severest condemnation because those men who have had the longest and hardest service, as the minister said to-day, are not having a fair chance in being returned; that men who have served a much shorter time overseas are now coming back, while many of the men who have had

the longest service still have to remain, not because they are in some particularly essential job, but because they do not happen to be in a formation which is being brought back, and because only lip-service is being given to this policy of "first in, first out; longest and hardest, first home."
The point system as described by the minister to-day is totally unjust to the man who has seen the longest and hardest fighting. Two points are allowed for service in Canada and only one additional point for service overseas. "Service overseas" does not mean overseas in a theatre of operation; it may mean service in a pleasant camp in England. The present point system should be revised immediately if fairness and justice are to be observed. That is very much the feeling of the men who are returning to Canada to-day. I have talked with men who have been repatriated to Ottawa with the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, with men of the Hastings and Prince Edward regiment from Belleville, with men of the 48th battalion being demobilized in Toronto, and with men of the Seafortih Highlanders of Canada who passed through here a week ago on their way to Vancouver. These men who served with me in the first Canadian division in the early days of the war, some of whom I could recognize, many of whom were able to recognize me, were all loud in their protests against the unfair way in which the present point system is working, and the fact that included in. their ranks were men who had seen no fighting whatever. In the last session, the Minister of National Defence gave the information that by the 1st of March of this year, three and a half months before V-E day, only 238 N.R.M.A. soldiers had reached an actual battlefield. We hear now that a hundred and eleven chousand of our men have been repatriated. A return was tabled yesterday which gave some startling figures regarding the type of men who were in those units which are now being repatriated. I jotted down a few. Of the Saskatchewan Light Infantiy twenty-seven per cent are N.R.M.A. soldiers; of the Seaforths, 19-5 per cent; of the PJP.C.L.I., 18-5 per cent, and, with all but two of the infantry battalions which are back, more than ten per cent are N.R.M.A. soldiers. Compare those figures with the statement which was given by the minister last session, that by the 1st of March of this year only 238 N.R.M.A. men had reached the actual battlefield. Also compare that with the figures which were given earlier, which I mentioned, that there were over four thousand men in the army of occupation who had served for more than six months in an actual theatre of war.

United Nations Agreement
It is on these facts that I feel we must criticize, and criticize severely, the present point system by which these men are being brought back. Even at this eleventh hour it should be revised, and some additional bonus, some preference should be granted or some scheme devised-I care not how you work it out-for the benefit of the men who have been in actual combat and to whom the minister referred as having the hardest and longest service. Unless we want to pay more lip-service to that policy some action must be taken in that respect.
A short time ago disciplinary action was taken against an officer who was editing the Maple Leaf magazine at the time. But talk to any man who is coming back and he will tell you that those editorials reflect the opinion of the troops who then were actually in Germany or elsewhere on the continent of Europe.
I have confined myself in the main to criticism of the policy. I feel that not sufficient foresight is being used at this time in preparing our future defence forces so that they may assure reasonable and adequate defence of this country in another global war where we might be faced with an enemy equipped with the most scientific developments of this atomic age. We should think twice before we go back to the time-worn policies and time-worn formations which we had before this war.
I appeal that consideration be given to our army of occupation, and that some reasonable scheme of replacing those men who have served in the army of occupation for any extended period should be worked out now. No such scheme was presented to us.
Finally, I say that even now we must revise our repatriation scheme, so that those who have served the longest and fought the hardest may have the advantage of coming back and becoming reestablished in this country, or of taking some of the many courses which are being opened for them, before they find all those opportunities gone.
I have not made any comment on the various items of the establishment because I understand that an opportunity to discuss these in detail will be presented at a later date. I therefore move that the debate on this subject be adjourned.
Motion agreed to and debate adjourned.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: In accordance with the announcement of last evening in regard to the business of the house I move that the committee rise and report progress and ask leave to sit again this day.
Progress reported.


UNITED NATIONS
[Stage Direction]
Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs) moved:
That it is expedient that the houses of parliament do approve the agreement establishing the united nations and constituting the charter of the united nations and the statute of the international court of justice signed at San Francisco on June 26, 1945, and that this house do approve the same.
He said: On the 26th of June last it was my proud privilege to append my signature, under that of the right hon. the Prime Minister (Mr. Mackenzie King), to authenticate on behalf of Canada the document agreed upon at San Francisco as the charter of the united nations. That authentication did not automatically make Canada a member of this great international organization because membership in the organization is to be accomplished by compliance with article 3 of the charter, which I should like to read:
The original members of the united nations shall be the states which, having participated in the united nations conference on international organization at San Francisco, or having previously signed the declaration by united nations of January 1, 1942, sign the present charter and ratify it in accordance with Article 110.
Article 110 provides:
1.	The present charter shall be ratified by the signatory states in accordance with their reepec-tive constitutional processes.
2.	The ratifications shall be deposited with the government of the United States of America, which shall notify all the signatory states of each deposit, as well as the secretary general of the organization when he has been appointed.
3.	The present charter shall come into force upon the deposit of ratifications by the republics of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America, and by a majority of the other signatory states. A protocol of the ratifications deposited shall thereupon be drawn up by the government of the United States of America which shall communicate copies thereof to all the signatory states.
4.	The states signatory to the present charter which ratify it after it has come into force, will become the original members of the united nations on the date of the deposit of their respective ratifications.
Nevertheless it was a great privilege to participate, on behalf of the Canadian nation, in making to civilized mankind, of this and of succeeding generations, the noble declaration which constitutes the preamble of the charter. I beg leave to read that preamble into
[Stage Direction]
United Nations Agreement
[Stage Direction]
the record as a fitting setting for the discussion upon which this house is embarking at this time:
Charter of the United Nations.
We the peoples of the united nations, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, and for these ends to practise tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.
Accordingly our respective governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers, found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present charter of the united nations, and do hereby establish an international organization to be known as the united nations.
Does anybody doubt that Field Marshal Smuts, and those who collaborated with him in drafting this preamble, correctly interpreted the aspirations and the determination of the peoples of the united nations, of the hundreds of millions of men, women and children throughout the world, of the hundreds of millions of common people throughout the world, upon so many of whom the scourge of the last two wars has borne so heavily and to each of whom it has brought such untold loss and suffering and sorrow?
At San Francisco the respective governments of these hundreds of millions of common people seem to have sought, through their representatives, to set up an organization which, if all these respective governments will allow it to function in the same spirit of live and let live in which it was conceived, can realize the true aspirations and determination of these common people everywhere; the aspirations and the determination to have international peace and mutual security based upon mutual belief, confidence and trust in each other's honesty of intention and sincerity of purpose, rather upon the precarious balance of power blocs or the shifting delimitations of spheres of influence.
Can the common people everywhere and at all times make their aspirations and determination heard and implemented by all their

respective governments and all those acting and speaking on their behalf in large or small, open or secret international conferences and committees?
Must we here not hope, if we hope for the ultimate success of the world organization, that an affirmative answer is or soon will be possible? We at least know that it is the correct answer in so far as our own nation is concerned, and it is because we know it that this resolution is before the house to-day.
We know that this house is truly representative of all the common people of the Canadian nation. We know that in this house the concept of a nation or state, as something different and something above the men and women and children who make up the nation, does not prevail. We know that those who attempt to speak and to act for this nation derive their right to do so from those men, women and children, and that they must at all times be mindful of their interests, of the interests of those same men, women and children, and even to a degree, of their own conception of what are their best interests.
That is why the Prime Minister, when moving on March 20 last, a resolution approving the participation of Canada in the San Francisco conference, told the house that the charter would, before ratification, be submitted to parliament for approval. At that time the Prime Minister said:
In proposing this course, the government is following the procedure customary with respect to treaties. No treaty or obligation could be more solemn than that which the united nations would assume under the charter. The course which the government is proposing would, moreover, ensure to a parliament newly elected by the people, the final word with respect to the adoption of the charter.
The charter was signed by fifty nations. A copy of it was tabled as treaty series number 7 on September 7; a copy of the report submitted on behalf of the Canadian delegation at San Francisco was tabled on September 10. I have been informed by the distribution office that copies were at that time forwarded through the mail to each hon. member of this house.
It is a significant fact that fifty states comprising the larger part of the civilized world have been able to reach agreement, and that they were all prepared to sign this charter. Those of us who were there know there were times during the San Francisco conference when difficulties and differences of view loomed very large, but in the end agreement was reached. When the conference met we were till in the midst of a great war. Most of those assembled at San Francisco represented countries whose peoples were making heroic efforts and very heavy sacrifices to

Income War Tax
bring the war to a speedy end. Some came from lands newly liberated from the enemy. All were deeply conscious of the appalling human sufferings which war causes. I think in the end it was this profo.und realization which made agreement possible.
At a great international conference of this kind there are so many national interests to be reconciled, so many adjustments which have to be made for the varying views of the different states represented that what emerges in the end is bound to be a compromise. The charter in its final form bears evidence of these compromises and adjustments. I do not think anyone would contend that, it is an ideal document, and in the course of my remarks I shall mention some things which the Canadian government hopes in the course of time to see changed. But each chapter, each sentence and in some cases each comma, in this charter have been discussed and considered in the conference committees. Each clause has received the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the states represented. The charter which resulted from these deliberations does represent a great cooperative achievement. Each nation has made its individual contribution; and I think it can be said that Canada had no small contribution to make.
Before the conference took place at San Francisco the parliament of Canada had approved the principle of Canada's participation in an international organization to maintain peace and security. The words of the resolution introduced in the house on March 20, 1945, were as follows;
That this house recognizes that the establishment of an effective international organization for the maintenance of international peace and security is of vital importance to Canada, and, indeed, to the future well-being of mankind, and that it is in the interests of Canada that Canada should become a member of such an organization.
It was the task of the Canadian delegation at the conference both to safeguard the interests of Canada and to incorporate in the final charter, so far as this was possible, those improvements which could best secure the loyal and , continuing support of this country for the united nations organization. The government considered it essential that the Canadian delegation to the conference should be broadly representative in character. Accordingly it was decided that it should include representatives of both houses of parliament and from both sides of the house. The delegation so composed worked together at San Francisco in an atmosphere of complete mutual confidence, and though I was there I venture to say here that I do not think any group could have been chosen from among the
11,500,000	people of Canada who would have 47696-751
striven more effectively to act only as Canadians and in no way as partisans or members of any one political party, though for most of the time we were there a federal election campaign was in progress here at home.
At six o'clock the house took recess.
After Recess
The house resumed at eight o'clock.


[Stage Direction]
Mr. STANLEY KNOWLES (Winnipeg
North Centre) moved! the second reading of bill No. 5, to amend the Income War Tax Act,
He said: Mr. Speaker, some of the matters to which I shall refer in support of the second reading of the bill are of somewhat recent date, for that reason I should like to remind) the house that I first placed the bill on the order paper at the regular session of 1943, but, in view of the restrictions against dealing with private, members' bills during the war sessions, it was not possible for the matter to be discussed until now.
The effect of the bill now before the house is to add one sentence to subsection 1 of section 81 of the Income War Tax Act. The subsection to which I have referred, as it now stands, reads as follows:
No person employed in the service of His Majesty shall communicate or allow to be communicated to any person not legally entitled thereto any information obtained under the provisions of this act, or allow any such person to inspect or have access to any written statement furnished under the provisions of this act.
This section is fairly well known to hon. members as the secrecy provision of the Income War Tax Act. It also covers the Excess Profits Tax Act, 1940, since sections 40 to 87 of the Income War Tax Act are, by section 14 of the Excess Profits Tax Act, made to apply thereto.
The sentence which I suggest should be added at the end of subsection 1 is as follows:
Provided that nothing in this subsection shall operate to prevent a minister of the crown from communicating to the Senate or to the House of Commons any information obtained under the provisions of this act.
The effect of this amendment would not, I hasten to point out, result in the immediate wholesale publication of all information obtained by the Department of National Revenue under the two acts to which I have referred. It would, however, remove the prohibition now
Income War Tax
[Stage Direction]
contained in the Income War Tax Act against giving .publicity to any income tax information obtained by that department.
On several occasions I have had experiences which have brought me up against the provisions of subsection 1 of section 81, and I should like to take a moment to refer to some of these experiences. Back in February, 1943, there appeared in practically all the daily newpaper in Canada a full-page advertisement inserted by the Steel Company of Canada Limited, which some of us felt was unfair in what it had to say about organized labour. It had to do with a strike then in progress.
Trade union organizations throughout Canada, in common with some of us here, wondered if the costs of advertising of this kind were chargeable as a deduction under the Income War Tax Act, and endeavoured to find out if that was so. However, our efforts were met with the reply of the then Minister of National Revenue, who is now Minister of National Defence for Air (Mr. 'Gibson), that this information could not be given, in view of the secrecy provision of subsection 1 of section 81 of the act.
On another occasion I was interested in the efforts of the employees of a certain branch of the Winnipeg Electric Company to obtain an adjustment in their wages. I discovered that when the employees of the company were before the regional war labour board in Manitoba, one of the arguments advanced by the company had to do with the income tax status granted them by the Department of National Revenue. To put it in the language which was used at the time, they declared that they had been given the status of a depressed industry. That was advanced as an argument as to why they could not agree to certain wage increases.
I endeavoured to find out here in the House af Commons, by placing a question on the order paper, if such was the case; and, if so, on what basis this status had been granted. This, too, was in 1943. Again I was met with the reply by the then Minister of National Revenue that my question could not be answered because of the provisions of subsection 1 of section 81 of the Income War Tax Act.
In connection with the same matter, I moved on another occasion in 1943 for the tabling of the relevant documents and all the correspondence that had passed between the Winnipeg Electric Company and any department of government relating to the matter. My motion was passed by the house, but when the return came down it consisted af a series of pages almost blank. All the 
house was given was information respecting the dates upon which certain letters had been written, to whom they had been written and by whom they were signed. But the bodies of the letters were left out because of the secrecy provision in the act, to which I have just referred.
I was also interested during the war years, and I still am, in matters relating to the Aluminum Company of Canada and its parent company, Aluminium Limited. During the war we were given certain information respecting income tax depreciation allowances in relation to these organizations. However, when I endeavoured by placing questions on the order paper to obtain information respecting the income tax arrangements made by these companies with the government in the years before the war, again I was met with the same argument that the information could not be given because of the secrecy provision in the act.
Thomas Reid: You can know all about my
income tax at any time.	[DOT]


Mr. KNOWLES:: I am glad to know I have support from across the way.


Thomas Reid: And I would like to know yours.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I am sure this is quite in line with a view which has been expressed in the house concerning publicity in connection with other matters. I think of the squabbles we had over the question as to whether or not the committee on war expenditures should sit in camera.


Mr. HOMUTH:: Now now; that is a different matter entirely.


Stanley Howard Knowles: You see, the shoe is on the other foot.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: That is a different matter; we like to be sensible.


Stanley Howard Knowles: That is what has happened; the shoe is now on the other foot. When the question as to whether or not the committee on war expenditures should sit openly or in camera was before the house, all some of us were concerned about-and rightly, I suggest-was that the government should not be given the protection of secrecy, if it were not necessary to have that protection because of the war.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: We were dealing with public funds.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Exactly; and when the Steel Company of Canada is spending money, and sending out that kind of advertising; and when the Aluminum Company of Canada is making money and piling up profits, these

Income War Tax
companies, too, are using funds derived from the public. Just as we feel that-the government should not be given the undue protection of secrecy, so do we feel that private corporations should not be given the protection of the secrecy they have under the act.
In addition to the kind of thing to which I have just referred, I should like to say a word about two other organizations which have appeared in recent years. In fact, they appeared on the horizon since I first placed this bill on the order paper. First there is the organization known as Responsible Enterprise which is carried on by one Gladstone Murray. This gentleman wrote letters to certain corporations and firms to tell them of the mounting success of socialism and the things they must do to stop the advance of a certain political movement. He called upon them-


Mr. SMITH (Calgary West):: Page Manitoba.


Stanley Howard Knowles: We shall have an opportunity to say a word about Manitoba in a moment or two, and with a great deal of pleasure.


Gordon Graydon: Manitoba has just spoken.


Stanley Howard Knowles: He appealed to these people, as individuals or on behalf of their firms, to make contributions to Responsible Enterprise, I think it is a perfectly legitimate request to ask that the country be told whether these contributions are being allowed as income tax deductions. If they are, it means that the people of the country are paying for the misinformation they get from an organization such as Responsible Enterprise.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: Does the C.I.O. issue a balance sheet and pay income taxes?


James Horace King: I must remind the hon. gentleman that when an hon. member has the floor no interruption should take place. An hon. member is permitted to ask the hon. gentleman who has the floor if he may ask a question.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: That would take too long and it would lose its effect.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Mr. Speaker, I appreciate your comment with respect to the interruption of the hon. member for Waterloo South, but I confess that I always enjoy his interruptions. I was quite interested that he came to bat so quickly to-night when apparently the shoe began to pinch.


Arthur Leroy Smith: Will the hon. member permit a question? Since the hon. member is so anxious to expose private business
-I am opposed to that-will he join in asking for complete publicity of all union funds? I am opposed.to both, but that is the answer.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: That shoe pinches too.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Do not worry, I am not falling for that one.


Arthur Leroy Smith: I want the hon. member to understand that I am opposed to both.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Another organization that has appeared on the horizon lately is known as General Relations Service Limited, with offices at 51 King Street West, Toronto, with which a certain Mr. B. A. Trestrail is connected. During the months just preceding the recent federal election we find that this organization, over the signature of this individual, was appealing to firms across Canada to contribute to his campaign against the political movement to which I happen to belong. In sending out letters appealing for funds Mr. Trestrail attached a printed form entitled "Retainer", and indicated that the contribution could be made by way of engaging the services of General Relations Service Limited for certain things which were listed and which all added up to the production of political propaganda.


Mr. VIAU:: What about the Manitoba
Commonwealth 1


Stanley Howard Knowles: I am glad the hon. member from Manitoba is interested in the Manitoba Commonwealth. The financial affaire of this political movement are open to the public.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Oh, yes, they are. Not only do we comply with all the requirements of the elections act about publishing expenses at election time, but at our annual provincial conventions and at our biennial national conventions we make public statements of all the funds that are handled by this organization.


An hon. MEMBER:: What is a convention?


Stanley Howard Knowles: A convention is something this party holds in each province every year and in the dominion every second year.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: It does not do you much good.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I just want to say that I do not speak with any undue anxiety about Responsible Enterprise or General Relations Service Limited because in the part of the country from which I come their efforts have not had a great deal of effect. A moment ago some one asked about Manitoba. I was in Manitoba until midnight last night, thanks
Income War Tax

to the speed with which one can travel by T.C.A., enjoying with the C.C.F. people in that province the results of yesterday's elections.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I notice considerable
laughter, including a smile on the face of my genial and hon. friend, the leader of the opposition who, according to Hansard, was rejoicing last night at the fact that the C.C.F. had been, as he thought then, badly beaten in Manitoba. That was before he knew we were winning eight or ten seats. An interesting thing about the vote in yesterday's election in Manitoba, according to to-day's Ottawa Citizen is that the Progressive Conservative party polled 31,000 votes; the Liberal Progressive party 69,000 votes, and the C.C.F.
70,000	votes.


Mr. WEIR:: How many acclamations were there?


Stanley Howard Knowles: The results were not at all in this proportion when it came to the seats won, but when one compares the percentages of that vote with the percentages of the vote in the election of a few months ago, the picture is-


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: Does that include the nine seats by acclamation?


Stanley Howard Knowles: It does not include the seats by acclamation and there were only seven.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: Does it include the
seven seats by acclamation?


Stanley Howard Knowles: No.


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: Will you please add the votes of every one of those constituencies to the figures you have given us.


Stanley Howard Knowles: It so happens that the constituencies in which acclamations took place were rural constituencies in which the vote is quite small. The C.C.F. led the field in those constituencies where the vote is large. The largest vote polled in Manitoba was polled by S. J. Farmer, the C.C.F. leader. The bearing of all this on the bill is that I wanted it to be clear that I am not saying this just to get something of! my chest about Mr. Murray and Mr. Trestrail because so far as our part of the country is concerned their kind of propaganda has not had a great deal of effect. But if organizations of this kind, and individuals such as these gentlemen, are to have the privilege of collecting money in this way, that money being in turn charged up against income tax payments, which means that the people of the country are paying for 
it in one way or another. The people have a right to know what is going on. I do not think I need to say any more, Mr. Speaker, but-


An hon. MEMBER:: Have you said anything yet?


Stanley Howard Knowles: At least there seems to be a good deal of enjoyment over the differences that we have and we seem to enjoy particularly any discussion that touches upon political developments in this country. I sense in the laughter and in the readiness with which hon. members of various parties jump to their feet, the fact that all are conscious of the progress of this movement. At times it may be slow; nevertheless it is steady and sure and it is just a matter of time until we get there.


An hon. MEMBER:: Which way is it going?


Ian Alistair Mackenzie: It is going back fast.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: We are not laughing with you; we are laughing at you.


Stanley Howard Knowles: To go back to the bill, I just wish to say in conclusion that democracy functions best in the clear light of day. That is the case when dealing with government funds, and it is equally true in connection with the funds of large corporations which make their profits out of the people of this country. I urge the house to endorse the second reading of this bill.


Mr. RALPH MAYBANK (Winnipeg South Centre):: Mr. Speaker, I am sure that all members of this chamber will agree that the people of Winnipeg are ordinarily a most agreeable set of citizens.


An hon. MEMBER:: And intelligent, too.


Ralph Maybank: And intelligent, too. But I think on this occasion I should rise as soon as possible to indicate that in some respects there may be differences of opinion among members from that city. I cannot very well follow my hon. friend in support of this recommendation in the form of a bill which he has introduced. I think he probably stated matters correctly when he endeavoured in the midst of interruptions to show that while the people of our city disagree sometimes, they keep agreeable in the process. Such, indeed, is, I think, a fair picture of the place in which I live.
In the first place I am in disagreement with my hon. friend in respect of manner. He said at the conclusion of his remarks: Democracy best functions in the light of day-a trite observation with which no one would disagree, but on the other hand I cannot see

Income War Tax
how the mere enunciation of a platitude such as that has anything whatever to do with the concrete and practical proposal which the hon. member has introduced. I desire to differ with him in point of manner from the very start by not endeavouring to buttress any argument of mine with appeals in that fashion to more or less clever sayings of other people. After all, this is a very simple proposition with which we have to deal.
I think my hon. friend will not object if I point out that if this bill were enacted in the manner in which it is now presented to the house it would not make one iota of difference to any of the problems that he has laid before the house this evening. Not one particle of difference would result. The sum total result of this enactment would be that this chamber would have listened to observations upon the subject by himself and to what I am now saying and what others may say who may follow me, and there would be an end of it. There would be no disclosure of anything to anybody by anybody as a result of the passage of this amendment. I do not know how carefully my hon. friend has studied the section he seeks to amend, but I am confident that in a moment or two he will agree with me that his amendment, if carried, could not possibly make any difference with regard to disclosures such as he desires to get.
My first reason for being opposed to voting for this particular amendment as it is, is that I would be merely voting for nothing; it does not mean anything. It is a great deal like a person lighting matches and throwing them into the river. They have no effect.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Be careful that you do
not use platitudes.'


Ralph Maybank: The hon. member need
not fear that I will imitate him in any respect. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I would not imitate him with a view to complimenting him and certainly I would not indulge in any flattery.
I am sure that Your Honour and hon. members will agree with me when I say that the addition to the present law of the words proposed would mean nothing. The underlined words, which are the amendment, are:
Provided that nothing in this subsection shall operate to prevent a minister of the crown from communicating to the Senate or to the House of Commons any information obtained under the provisions of this act.
When you read the whole section as it now stands you will see that the Minister of National Revenue is not prevented by the section from giving to the House of Commons information which he may obtain from
various officers of the crown, which is what my hon. friend seeks to obtain. The section itself as it is now, unamended, before my hon. friend's words come in, reads:
No person employed in the service of His Majesty shall communicate or allow to be communicated to any person not legally entitled thereto, any information obtained under the provisions of this act, or allow any such person to inspect or have access to any written statement furnished under the provisions of this act.
Of course, there will be by all people different meanings assigned to the word "employed". When you have the verb "employed" you naturally think of the noun and you know that a person employed is an employee. There will not be any argument about that. One meaning of the word "employed" would be such as to comprehend a minister of the crown. Let us say that ministers of the crown, all members of the House of Commons, all members of the Senate, as well as many others are, in one way of looking at the matter, "employed" in the service of the crown that is, they are employed in the service of the country. They are not "employed" in the service of the country any more than millions of other people about the country are also employed. All good citizens are
employed,	in the popular sense of the word, in the service of the country. But that is not the meaning which is ascribed to such a word in the statute. A person who is employed, an employee, is one who is paid a certain sum of money and performs certain definite sendees, although the degree of definiteness may vary. That person is an
employee.	But by no stretch of the imagination could ministers of the crown, or members of parliament, or members of the senate be called "employees" of the crown, any more than His Excellency could be called an employee of the crown. I feel quite sure that my hon. friend will agree with what I am saying when he gives consideration to it. It is not just an ordinary technical legal argument such as might be offered by reason of endeavouring to exercise "ingenuity. This is one of those propositions in law upon which I am confident there will not be any disagreement.


Mr. WRIGHT:: Is there such a thing?


Ralph Maybank: Oh, yes, there are such ideas now and then, and this happens to be one of them. I appreciate the intervention from the other side of the house; it is a natural one. There is merit in such thought that lay behind that interruption, because it is true that in law, as, I have been told, in other professions even the profession to which the hon. member belongs, the clerical
Income War Tax

profession, there arise differences of opinion; in his profession, on theological questions; and I understand that the same is the case with doctors. There can be no question that lawyers can nearly always find ways of distinguishing one thing from another, but there are some propositions on which all lawyers will agree, as there are some propositions on which all ministers and all doctors will agree; and this is one of those propositions upon which, I believe, the whole legal fraternity will agree.	*


Stanley Howard Knowles: May I ask the hon. member a question? If that is the case, why is it that the then minister of national revenue, who I believe is a member of the legal profession, felt that this act as it now stands prevented him from giving the information for which I asked in the house?


Ralph Maybank: Well, I do not recall the incident to which my hon. friend has referred; and in view of the fact that he is not quoting the words of the minister I do not know whether he is correctly portraying what the minister said.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I will give the hon. member several examples. One is to be found on page 2929 of Hansard for May 24, 1943.


Ralph Maybank: Yes, I know, but even so the hon. member may be a long way from accurately portraying what the minister said. I have no means of knowing. I should point out to him that if he desires to show what it was that the minister said on page so-and-so of Hansard, the best evidence of what the minister said will be the document itself, namely Hansard, and not a mere reference by him to a page number. I can quite understand that the minister may have said that he felt precluded by reason of the act from giving information. That is very natural; he would feel precluded from giving information by reason of the act and he would feel precluded from giving information by reason of the spirit of the act. But that is not the same thing as to say that he felt precluded from giving information by this section of the act. That is the point I was making; and I cannot see any sense in passing the proposed amendment, which would be utterly without effect and useless. That was the first point I was making. I am not saying at all that my learned friend-I hope there will be no objection taken to my having fallen into legal terminology and having called him "learned friend" across the floor. There was no offence intended.


Stanley Howard Knowles: And none taken.


Ralph Maybank: I know it would be a most terrible come-down for a preacher to be called a lawyer.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: It would be far worse if you ever called a lawyer a preacher.


Ralph Maybank: It is certainly far from any intention of mine to insult. I say that this particular section, and that is all I have been arguing about, is not being amended to any purpose by that which is set down in the bill. But in those remarks I have not quite completed my answer to the hon. gentleman.	[DOT]
His remark when he asked if I would permit a question was this: "Well, supposing what you say is correct; how does it come about that the minister made such and such an answer on such and such a day?" although he has not quoted the answer that the minister made or tied it down to any particular section of the law. Of course I might be able to hazard some opinion as to why the minister made the statement in the manner in which he did, but I hardly feel called upon to do so to support the argument I am making. I am quite willing to agree with the hon. gentleman that the ways of minister of the crown are very often inscrutable, and the exact reason why the minister may have made a statement in a certain form is something I could not undertake to answer, not having a sufficient degree of clairvoyance for the purpose. I cannot say why the minister made a statement in a certain way, but I am quite confident as to the correctness of what I have said with reference to the amendment in this manner of this particular section, no matter what the minister said. While I cannot unscrew the inscrutability of ministers of the crown, nevertheless I am quite confident that if, as, and when this amendment is passed absolutely nothing will have been accomplished. For that reason I would be bound to vote against something which I believe would be a nullity after it was passed. That is about the sole reason at the moment that I would advance for declaring myself definitely against the proposed amendment.
So far as the general idea of opening up records-


Stanley Howard Knowles: Mr. Speaker, I wonder, before the hon. member wanders around some more in search of another point, if he would mind my reading the quotation which he said I was not giving? To have the record clear, I refer to Hansard of May 24, 1943, at page

Income War Tax
2929. At that time, in answer to a question which I asked about the Aluminum Company of Canada, the minister replied as follows:
Mr. Gibson: Mr. Speaker, it has never been considered to be in the public interest to divulge information as to the affairs of individual taxpayers, and in any case to do so would be contrary to the provisions of section 81 of the Income War Tax Act.
Later in the same year, on June 7, 1943, the same minister tabled sessional paper 348, in answer to other questions which I had asked which had to do with the Winnipeg Electric company, and the document reads as follows:
The information asked for cannot be furnished as it clearly falls within the provisions _ of section 81 of the Income War Tax Act reading as follows.
And then the section is quoted. I merely rose to correct the hon. member's remark about my making references without supporting them with the actual documents. I am sure he will now agree with me that I had the information at hand.


Ralph Maybank: Mr. Speaker, I say at once that I do agree, in the light of what has bean read, that when the hon. member referred to a minister of the crown making a certain answer the minister of the crown was indeed directing attention to this particular section. I take issue with the hon. gentleman's manner again. I am quite sure that up until the time he interrupted me I was not in my argument, as he described it, just "wandering around". On the contrary, I believe I had been rather direct, definite, precise and, so far as interruptions permitted-, concise. So far as the directness of my remarks was concerned, and I fancy, so far as ease of understanding on the part of an auditor was concerned, I believe I can call the hon. gentleman himself in witness because he himself understood me. I believe, therefore, that his reference to my having wandered around in an argument was inappropriate, and I am sure that upon thinking that over he will agree with me there too.
It is clear apparently that on a certain occasion, in answer to a certain question, a minister quoted section 81. As I have said, I cannot unscrew the inscrutable, and I do not know why a minister said that, why he put it in that way. But I am absolutely certain about the correctness of the proposition, which is basic to my argument, namely, that a minister of the crown is not an employee, and to say that an employee cannot give information is to say nothing so far as a minister of the crown is concerned.


Stanley Howard Knowles: He thought it prevented him.


Ralph Maybank: I did not understand what the last interruption was.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I say he thought it prevented him.


Mr. MacNICOL:: He still does not understand it.


Ralph Maybank: Some hon. gentleman has called out that I apparently have some desire not to understand an attempted interruption. I do not think any interruption has been passed over either in fright or for any other reason by me so far this evening, and as long as interruptions are for a purpose and are good-natured-well, I do not care whether they are good-natured or not, as far as that goes, so long as they are for a purpose-I certainly will take note of them if I understand them.
As regards the general purpose underlying the proposed amendment, that is to say, its aiming at disclosure of income tax information -and that really is the idea here-I think the house will agree on consideration it does not accomplish anything along that line. But in spite of the fact that I do not believe arguments dealing with the spirit of this are germane to it, because of its wording, dealing with the spirit of it I must say that it is my understanding and has been for some years that there is one country in the world where considerable disclosure of this kind is permitted, and that is the very democratic country of Switzerland. I am not sure that I have been correctly informed, but I give the information to my hon. friend for what it is worth. I have been told that there has been worked out there a method whereby there is considerable disclosure, and it might be worth while to check up on that to find out whether it is correct.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: They always quote New Zealand. Do they do it in New Zealand?


Ralph Maybank: That is a very helpful suggestion from the hon. member for Waterloo South, but somehow or other I feel that this is not done in New Zealand. I am quite sure that the oratory from over on the other side of the. house would have been by now replete with references to New Zealand if what is proposed in the amendement were done there.
I think the hon. gentleman who has moved this amendment would be Willing to admit that there are some few things about some few countries about which he and his colleagues may not be fully and accurately informed, but matters with relation to New Zealand are not among them. I feel sure, therefore, that we can take it for granted that this is not done in New Zealand.



Income War Tax


Mr. STEWART:: In view of the fact that the hon. member might stumble across a conclusion, may I remind him that he has fourteen minutes to speak yet.


Ralph Maybank: You see, Mr. Speaker, the general tenor of that interruption. Obviously the hon. gentleman was not good-natured in that interruption, but I am not complaining about that, because, as I said, I do not really care whether interruptions are good-natured or not, although naturally it is better if a person is house-broken and acts with good nature.
Perhaps a correct and precise answer could be given to the hon. member for Winnipeg North (Mr. Stewart), who so gratuitously interrupted what I was saying, and that is that it would be more appropriate if he put his question on the order paper.


Stanley Howard Knowles: The answer might be prohibited by section 81.


Ralph Maybank: While I am aware of the - claim made by socialist members of the house to a monopoly of nearly all the virtues- and I am not going to argue with them about that-


Karl Kenneth Homuth: The people of Canada settled that.


Ralph Maybank: -because after all, if
they think they have all the virtues, I am not one who would really without need go and try to destroy happiness, even if that happiness arises from ignorance, I would say to the hon. gentleman that I believe the virtue of candour-I think it is a virtue, by the way-might be studied a little more by him and perhaps by some of his colleagues, and an attempt might be made to become more candid and frank in the presentation of matters of this sort. The hon. member began his dissertation by saying that he supposed that he was introducing something which is efficacious. It is not so. He introduced it and spoke as if it were efficacious toward some end. He said it would not require a minister of the crown to make disclosures. Mr. Speaker, the real object of this is to have disclosures made. Surely we do not need to sit opposite each other and try to fool each other by pulling curtains in front of our faces like Turkish women outside the harem. What the hon. member wants-and I can understand his wanting it, and I must say that I think everybody has some sympathy with the idea- is to get these disclosures. That is the object of the amendment. Why he had to introduce a story about it not requiring a minister to make disclosures I cannot understand and certainly do not appreciate. It would seem

to m& that it is not necessary to endeavour to sugar-coat that kind of pill as though he were giving castor oil to a child.
I do not really think, sir, that there was quite the candour that this house has a right to expect from the hon. member. He first of all tried to drag the house along with him by saying that a minister would not have to give out information. I really think that when we come to deal with concrete matters we shall get along a whole lot faster and we shall get along having confidence in each other a great deal more if that sort of thing is done away with altogether. The fact of the matter is-


Stanley Howard Knowles: I rise to a question of
privilege-


Ralph Maybank: If I am in order I shall continue, but if the hon. member is in order I shall sit down. I ask for a ruling, sir.


Stanley Howard Knowles: I rise to a question of
privilege. The hon. member has questioned my candour.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Oh, oh.


Stanley Howard Knowles: Not only has he questioned it, but he has cast a reflection-


Ralph Maybank: May I reply? I understand the hon. member has risen to a question of privilege and has said that I questioned his candour. Well, I agree with him, I have. Now, Mr. Speaker-


Stanley Howard Knowles: Mr. Speaker, we are
enjoying the good will that is prevading here, but I feel I must object to the way in which this debate is being allowed to develop into something of a farce. I rise to a question of privilege on the following grounds. According to citation 299 of Beauchesne's Parliamentary Rules and Forms, a citation under standing order 41, there are a number of unparliamentary phrases. One prohibition reads as follows:
No member will be permitted to say of another that he could expect no candour from him.
I am not raising any great fuss about it, Mr. Speaker. I recognize the mood the hon. member is in, but it does seem to me that he is sailing pretty close to the wind.


James Horace King: I understand that the
hon. member rose to a question of privilege, alleging that the hon. member who has the floor attacked his integrity. I do not think that the character, integrity or honesty of the hon. member has been attacked by the hon. member who has the floor. If the hon. member for Winnipeg North Centre (Mr. OCTOBER 16, 1945
United Nations Agreement
Knowles) has the impression that the hon. member who has the floor did that I am sure that the hon. member will modify it.


Ralph Maybank: Yes, Mr. Speaker. Your Honour and hon. members will recall precisely what I said. I should now like to soften it by saying that I intended no offence at all and was not attacking the integrity of the hon. member.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: Just his judgment.


Stanley Howard Knowles: What about the bill?


An hon. MEMBER:: Three minutes to go.


Ralph Maybank: I should like to thank
the hon. member who raised the question of privilege for the remarks he made when he said he felt that the matter in question had developed into something of a farce. Of course it will not be unnoticed by you, sir, and hon. members of the house, that he was impelled to make that remark that this debate had deteriorated into something of a farce at a certain moment. It will not have been overlooked by you, sir, that the moment which he chose for coming to that conclusion was the moment when he himself rose to speak. I must say once again this evening that I am in hearty agreement with him, because I felt it was .most farcical on his part to raise such a ridiculous question of privilege as he did.
N'ow, Mr. Speaker, I should like-


Stanley Howard Knowles: What about the bill?


An hon. MEMBER:: Three minutes to go.


Ralph Maybank: The hon. member says,
"what about the bill?" After he has done his utmost to get the engine off the track he complains that it is off.


Stanley Howard Knowles: There are only two minutes left to talk it out.


Ralph Maybank: He himself spoke once
or twice and said what he had to say about the elections in Manitoba and that they were related to the bill. Incidentally, Mr. Speaker, .he did not tell you that most of the C.C.F. candidates who were beaten there lost their deposits, but you will find that out. It will also be borne in mind that when he gave the figures-I do not know whether this was lack of candour or not-he left out of his remarks the fact that there were seven acclamations. He did not bother counting those; and, of course, the votes about which he spoke came largely from the large centres of population. Because of the manner in which our democratic processes work nearly all the candidates who were defeated lost their deposits. The house 47696-76i
will find out a little more about this later on, but in the meantime I give it that tid-bit to sharpen the appetite.
There are -several matters connected with this bill to which I should like to refer. I observe, sir, that it has nofr reached the hour of nine o'clock.


Karl Kenneth Homuth: You talked for an hour
and did not know it.


Ralph Maybank: I was a little afraid, sir, that I might be stopped suddenly, and to avoid that I crave the privilege of adjourning the debate.


James Horace King: The hour reserved for private and public bills having expired, the house will revert to the order of business under
consideration at six o'clock.



UNITED NATIONS


[Stage Direction]
The house resumed consideration of the motion of the Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs:
That it is expedient that the houses of parliament do approve the agreement establishing the united nations and constituting the charter of the united nations and the statute of the inernational court of justice signed at San Francisco on June 26. 1945, and that this house do approve the same.
Mr. ST. LAURENT: Mr. Speaker, when the house rose at six o'clock I was speaking of the close cooperation between the several members of the Canadian delegation at San Francisco. There was cooperation also not only within our delegation, but with other delegations as well, in respect of the work done at San Francisco. There was, first of all, the closest consultation among members of the British commonwealth. There were frequent commonwealth meetings at which frank discussions took place, but I think the San Francisco conference has proved for once and all the absurdity of the notion that all the countries of the British commonwealth will always speak and vote as a single block.
I do not want to enter into details at this stage, but if hon. members wish they may find some report of the divergence of views taken upon matters discussed at San Francisco, if they will refer to pages 18, 27 and 41 of the conference document No. 2, the report of the activities of the Canadian delegation at the conference.
It was. on the whole, by a process of free vote and discussion in the conference committees that the charter was fashioned. The individual efforts of any one delegation to secure advantage in the discussion could not
Untied Nations Agreement
[Stage Direction]
have succeeded without the help of other delegations which shared their views. Canada met with generous support and assistance from many other like-minded states in putting forth certain amendments which seemed to our delegation to make for a better charter. Sometimes our amendments secured the support of other countries, and on other occasions we were ready to withdraw our original amendment in favour of those put forward by other states. Without such willingness on the part of all the nations to go some way toward reconciliation of diverging points of view, the charter would not have been written at all.
The actual management, the organization and administration of the conference constituted a formidable undertaking, and I should like here to pay tribute to the efficiency with which the state department of the United States dealt with the problems involved. Nor can I refrain from mentioning in passing the hospitality of the city of San Francisco, and the friendly welcome which its people accorded to all the members of the conference.
The charter of the united nations is, I think, a great improvement on the Dumbarton Oaks proposals which formed the basis for our discussions at San Francisco. Not only does it include many new provisions and changes in the original text of those proposals, but I think it is on the whole more liberal in spirit and language. Many of the alterations and additions effected there are of great importance, but the issues involved are so complex and cover so many fields that it would be quite impossible in this speech to do justice to the whole of the achievements of the conference. I shall touch only upon some of the salient points. In other respects hon. members may refer themselves to the report of the Canadian delegation to the conference, which has already been tabled in the house and which gives a reasonably full account of the proceedings.
Hon. members will have noticed that as an appendix to the report the charter of the united nations is printed on the left-hand page and that the appropriate extracts from the Dumbarton Oaks proposals appear on the right-hand page. Under this arrangement, in respect of any article one can see the text definitely adopted and also the form of the original proposal. It was felt it would be helpful to have these two texts placed side by side for purposes of closer scrutiny.
I have already directed the attention of the house to the preamble of the charter, which is largely the work of Field Marshal Smuts.
I should also like to mention the widening in scope of the purposes and principles of the

united nations organization. In the last five years we have witnessed the most brutal assaults on all the standards of civilized life- the dignity of the individual, respect for the pledged word and the rule of law among nations.
The preamble to the united nations charter reaffirms our faith in these values, without which no international organization can ever succeed in maintaining security; for the foundation of peace must be laid in the hearts and in the wills of individual men. If war is to be abolished we must begin by respecting the rights of individual human beings. Hence the Canadian delegation welcomed and supported the decision to place in the charter, among the purposes for which the organization had been brought into existence, the pledge to achieve international cooperation in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for the fundamental freedom of all, without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.
The principles were set out in chapter II of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals. They now form article 2 of chapter I of the charter. It will be seen at once in what respects they have been liberalized. Thus in subsection 3 of the proposals it was provided that:
All members of the organization shall settle their disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security are not endangered.
All members shall settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner
This has been modified to read:
that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered.
It was felt that it would not be sufficient to enforce a peace, but that a proper peace to be enforced must be a peace which would'be conformable with the principles of elemental justice.
Then subsection 4 of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals stated:
All members of the organization shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the organization.
This has been broadened to read:
All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the purposes of the united nations.
This is an obligation, assumed by all members of the organization, to refrain from the use of force inconsistent with the purposes of the united nations. I believe the only

United Nations Agreement
exception to this undertaking to abstain from the use or threat of force is contained in article 51 of the charter which states:
Nothing in the present charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a member of the united nations, until the security council has taken the measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.
The right of individual and collective selfdefence is reserved until such time as the security council has taken effective means to maintain international peace and security. But otherwise the members of the organization are solemnly pledged to abstain from the use or from the threat of force, otherwise than under and for the purposes of the international organization. If that solemn obligation is sincerely observed by the fifty nations which constitute this group of nations, may we not hope that if no war is possible among them, they will at all times be strong enough to prevent disastrous wars from being waged by others.
It was further provided in subsection 7 that there should be absolute respect of the sovereignty of each state in its domestic affairs. The provisions of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals provided that the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 6 of section A should not apply to situations or disputes arising out of matters which by international law are solely within the domestic jurisdiction of the state concerned. It was felt that this was not sufficiently specific and it was replaced by the following:	.
Nothing contained in the present charter shall authorize the united nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the members to submit such matters to settlement under the present charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under chapter 7.
The main body of the charter consists of those chapters which outline the international machinery which is to give effect to the purposes and principles of the united nations. This machinery has, I think, been strengthened and improved in many ways as a result of the work of the conference. For example, the' scope of the powers of the general assembly have been considerably extended. The place of the assembly and the pattern of the organization are a matter of particular concern to the middle and smaller states. The Canadian delegation considered that the powers of the assembly should be as wide as possible and that its scope as a forum of public opinion should not be limited. On the other hand, it was important that full responsibility for the settling of disputes
should be put squarely on the shoulders of the security council. This involved one important limitation on the powers of the general assembly. The assembly should not, on its own initiative, be able to make recommendations on a matter relating to the maintenance of international peace and security while it is being dealt with actively and effectively by the security council.	As a
result of the liberalization of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, the general assembly now possess the broadest powers of discussion and the right to initiate studies and make recommendations for the purpose of promoting international cooperation.
The Canadian delegation felt that if the assembly were to play its full part as an instrument for focusing public opinion, its sessions must be public. Although the conference left it to the general assembly to fix its own rules of procedure on this point, the Canadian suggestion was adopted that the rules of procedure should provide that "save in exceptional cases, the sessions of the general assembly shall be open to the public and press of the world."
This is not expressly provided as one of the articles of the charter. Hon. members will find on pages 27 and 28 of the report a summary of what took place in that regard. I quote:
The delegate of Peru moved on June 8 that the following provision be inserted in the chapter on the general assembly:
The sessions of the general assembly shall be open to the public and to the press of the world. In exceptional cases the general assembly may determine whether it is prudent to modify this rule.
The representatives of all five great powers spoke against this amendment. They expressed their full agreement with the principle contained in it, but objected to its inclusion in the charter on the ground that it was a procedural matter which should be dealt with in the regulations of the general assembly. Since the Peruvian motion appeared to have the support of a majority, of the other delegations, there was danger "that a vote on it would be misinterpreted outside the conference. The Canadian representative, therefore, made the following statement:
It is essential that this committee make clear its belief in the principle that the sessions of the general assembly be open to the press and public of the world. It is likewise essential that this committee make its belief clear by a unanimous vote. From the speeches which have already been made, it is obvious that the Peruvian proposal to incorporate the principle in the charter will not receive unanimous approval. The public of the world will not understand this. Therefore, as a substitute for the Peruvian motion I propose the following motion:
That the rapporteur of this committee be instructed to state in his report that this committee is of the opinion that regulations to be adopted at the first session of the general
United Nations Agreement
[Stage Direction]
assembly shall provide that, save in exceptional cases, the sessions of the general assembly shall be open to the public and the press of the world.
The chairman decided to put the Peruvian motion first and, if it were rejected, then the Canadian motion. This enabled many delegates to vote against the Peruvian motion on the ground that it would be better to adopt the Canadian motion by unanimity than the Peruvian motion on a split vote. The Peruvian motion was defeated by a vote of 15 to 22 and the Canadian motion adopted by a vote of 34 to 0 with U.S.S.K. abstaining. The delegate of the U.S.S.R. stated that his delegation had abstained from voting on the Canadian motion since such a resolution would be without force or effect unless it were ratified by the governments of the participating countries and that it would not be submitted to them for ratification.
The discussion over the powers and organisation of the security council raised what proved to be the central question of the conference-how to maintain the unity of the great powers and at the same time create an organization which should be acceptable to the middle and smaller nations. This was the issue underlying the series of debates which took place over the veto powers of the permanent members of the security council. I do not think it would serve any useful purpose here to review that controversy, but without going into detail I shall say a few words about the position which the Canadian delegation took in this matter.
It will be recalled that under the Yalta voting formula, each permanent member of the security council has the power of veto over all questions of substance coming before the councils, with the exception that with respect to the peaceful settlement of disputes the party or parties to the dispute must abstain from voting. This veto power accorded to the United' States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China and France extends over all those activities of the organization which depend upon decisions taken in the security council. It thus affects the entire character of the organization, and I think it is proper to point out that it does constitute a serious exception to the principle of the equal sovereignty of states regardless of their size.
This veto power was attacked with great vigour and persistence by the representatives of many of the middle and smaller countries at San Francisco. While it was generally accepted that there must be unanimity of the great powers in applying peace enforcement action, there was opposition to many other aspects of the veto power, and particularly to its extension to covering the field of the peaceful settlement of disputes. It seemed to many delegations to be unwise that a permanent member, when not a party to a dispute, should be in position to veto
[Mr. fU. T aurent.l
the application of the paceful settlement procedures of the charter in that dispute. It was over this particular aspect of the veto power that the debate really developed.
After a long drawn out discussion the sponsoring powers produced a joint statement in reply to a questionnaire which had been addressed to them as to the application of the Yalta voting formula. The joint statement, although it cleared up some obscurities, left many delegations unsatisfied as it envisaged the application of the rule of the unanimity of the great powers to the peaceful settlement provisions under the charter. The Canadian attitude throughout this controversy was based upon two principal considerations. It was felt in the first place that that veto power as applied to the processes of peaceful settlement was undesirable. We feared too that the incorporation of such a principle would seriously weaken the security council itself. The Canadian delegation recognized that this was in essence a political question as to what was possible of achievement in the way of compromise between the great powers themselves and between the great powers and the other united nations. It was apparent that the joint interpretation of the Yalta voting formula represented the greatest possible measure of agreement which could be obtained among the great powers themselves at this time on this subject.
The Canadian delegation, therefore, considered that while we could not accept the interpretation of the voting procedure as satisfactory, it was not too high a price to pay for a world organization which held so much promise in other respects. So that on the final vote in the conference the Canadian delegation did not oppose the adoption of the Yalta voting formula as defined in the answers made by the sponsoring powers to the questionnaire. We were influenced in this decision by the statement made by the representatives of the great powers that their special voting position would be used with a sehse of responsibility and consideration for the interests of smaller states and, therefore, that the veto would be employed' sparingly.
In connection with the organization of the security councilman amendment was introduced at the instance of the Canadian delegation, relating to the system of electing nonpermanent members of the security council. Members of the house may recall from the Prime Minister's previous statements that the Canadian government felt that the provisions of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals were unsatisfactory in that they contained no qualification for eligibility of election to the council. The principle that power is to be﻿OCTOBER 16, 1945
United Nations Agreement
combined with responsibility is recognized in the permanent membership of the great powers on the council. The application of that principle should, in>
our view, be carried a step further and among the six states elected to the council there should be several which can make a really substantial contribution to the purposes of the organization. The Canadian delegation, therefore, pressed for the adoption of some qualification for election to the council which should recognize this functional point of view. Our attitude was supported by a number of other delegations, but it was principally due to the cooperation of the United Kingdom delegation that an amendment was introduced by the sponsoring powers which now finds its place in' article 23 of the charter.
The relevant paragraph of article 23, while it does not lay down detailed rules for the election of non-permanent members, directs that in the election of such members to the security council due regard should be "specially paid, in the first instance to the contribution of members of the united nations to the maintenance of international peace and security and to the other purposes of the organization, and also to equitable geographical distribution." It was explained by the representatives of the sponsoring powers who introduced this amendment that the phrase "in the first instance" applied to the first criterion for the election of non-permanent members; that is "to the eonribution of members of the united nations to the maintenance of international peace and security and to the other purposes of the organization", whereas "equitable geographical distribution" was a secondary consideration.
It is the responsibility of the security council to maintain peace, but this does not mean that the council will function only when an emergency has arisen. Any difficult situation which threatens to develop into a disturbance of the peace may be discussed in the council and plans and recommendations may be made. It is, I think, satisfactory that the charter dealing with the peaceful settlement of disputes has been enlarged and improved, because it is before violence has broken out that the organization can do its most useful work in preventing aggression.
The peace enforcement provisions of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals have already been discussed in this house and they were not altered in many essential points at San Francisco. I should, however, mention one change which resulted from the initiative of the Canadian delegation. It was our view that there should be included in the charter
some effective provision under which armed forces pledged in its military agreement by a state not a member of the security council be called out by the council only after that state had effectively taken part in the decision. Accordingly the Canadian delegation put forward an amendment, the substance of which has now been incorporated in article 44 of the charter, with article reads as follows:
When the security council has decided to use force it shall, before calling upon a member not represented on it to provide armed forces in fulfilment of the obligations assumed under article 43-
That is the article referring to agreements to be entered into between states and the security council to provide stated quotas of armed forces:
-invite that member, if the member so desires, to participate in the decisions of the security council concerning the employment of contingents of that member's armed forces.
Speaking to this amendment at the meeting of the committee on enforcement arrangements on May 10, the Prime Minister of Canada put forward his argument in the following terms:
The purpose of this amendment is clear-to provide that there shall be effective consultation between the security council and a member not represented on the council before that member is called upon to dispatch outside its own territories forces which it has undertaken to make available under the military agreements contemplated in paragraph 5. It seems certain that consultation would, in fact, have to take place, and we feel that a requirement of consultation should be included in the charter itself.
The powers which the proposals would vest in the security council to call upon all members to join in the imposition of sanctions-military, economic and diplomatic-raise especially difficult problems for secondary countries with wide international interests. It is likely that if sanction® have to be imposed against an aggressor, the active collaboration of some states not on the security council will be needed. Let me contrast the position in this respect of the great powers on the one hand and of the secondary countries with world-wide interests on the other. Each great power is assured not only of full participation in the consideration of the dispute from the beginning, but it can itself prevent any decision to impose sanctions, even if it be a minority of one in the security council. All the other members of the organization are asked to obligate themselves in the charter to carry out any decision of the security council, including decisions which might require them to send into action the forces which they are all expected to place at the council's disposal, as well as decisions which might gravely disrupt their economic life. The council could call upon any member to do these things, and there is no assurance that the member would be consulted rather than ordered to take action. I feel sure that whenever a particular member was desired to take serious enforcement action, consultation would be a practical necessity. Therefore, the amendment which the Canadian delegation has
United Nations Agreement
[Stage Direction]
proposed would not delay action, since it would only incorporate in the charter itself a step towards action which would probably have to be taken in any event. Unless this need for consultation is recognized in some manner in the charter, the process of securing public support for the ratification of the charter will be made considerably more difficult in a number of countries other than the great powers.
I think I could not do better in explanation of the way in which this provision is expected to work in practice than to quote from the report which Mr. Stettinius, Secretary of State of the United States and chairman of the United States delegation to the conference, made to the President of the United States. Mr. Stettinius has referred to the Canadian amendment in the following terms:
One significant and constructive change resulted from the debate, in the adoption of a wholly new article, 44, which contains the substance of an amendment submitted to the conference by the delegation of Canada and strongly supported by other "middle powers." It gives realization on the level of international seourity arrangements to the cherished axiom of American history, "no taxation without representation." Once the security council has determined on the employment of armed forces, it must give to each state asked to contribute contingents a voice in the decisions concerning the employment of its own forces. For the purpose of such decisions, in other words, the voting membership of the security council may be increased by one-but not more than one

for each decision.
Here is the way article 44 will work: If four states not represented on the security council are to be asked to furnish armed forces to cope with an emergency, they may if they desire send representatives to sit temporarily with the council; but each of these four ad hoe representatives would participate only in the decision which concerns the use of the armed forces of his own country. No similar right is given to states when the contribution involved is only the use of facilities and assistance they have agreed to provide, and the amendment to give such a right was rejected. The conference felt that there is a substantial difference between sending men to fight and, for example, making an airfield available.
It is particularly important to notice that the membership of the security council remains unchanged for all decisions leading up to and including the decisions to impose military sanctions. Thus the operation of the security machinery will not be dangerously slowed by the new provision. Moreover the provision will not affect the use of the contingents of the great powers, which will doubtless constitute the bulk of the forces used to carry out the council's decisions. Even the process of consulting the states that are not members of the council should not appreciably delay the effective functioning of their contingents.
The peace enforcement powers of the security council are concerned with the negative aspects of keeping the peace. But I think all bon. members will agree that peace is not merely the absence of war. It it a positive

condition in which nations can cooperate for the common good. This side of the work of the new organization is of particular importance to Canada. In the field of economic and social progress Canada has, I believe, an important contribution to make. The Canadian delegation therefore were particularly concerned with the provisions of the charter which deal with the economic and social council.
This body, which had been allotted a subsidiary place in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals, has now been made a principal organ of the united1 nations. Moreover its scope, which had originally been limited to economic and related social problems, has now been much widened. The objects of the economic and security council are defined in article 55 of the charter in the following words:
With a view to the creation of conditions of stability and well-being which are necessary for peaceful and friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, the united nations shall promote:
(a)	higher standards of living, full employment, and conditions of economic and social progress' and development;
(b)	solutions of international economic, social, health and related problems; and international cultural and educational cooperation; and
(e) universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.
Mr. BLACKMORE:: Will the minister permit a question, or would) he rather finish his speech before he entertains a question?
Mr. ST. LAURENT: Perhaps, if it is convenient to the hon. member, I might be allowed1 to complete, and then if there is further information that I can supply I would be glad to answer.


John Horne Blackmore: Will the minister tell us at this time at what point-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


John Horne Blackmore: It is a perfectly justifiable question. I wish to ask the minister at what point in our discussion it will be best that we do ask questions? On his speech, for example?
Mr. ST. LAURENT:	I shall be prepared
as best I can to answer any question which you, Mr. Speaker, may allow me to answer, after I have completed my speech.


John Horne Blackmore: And suppose he does not allow it; when can we ask it, then?
Mr. ST. LAURENT: I would not like to anticipate Mr. Speaker's decision in that re-

United Nations Agreement
gard. I feel quite sure that the hon. member will not ask any improper question, and I hope I shall be allowed to answer him.
The council, that is to say the economic and social council, therefore has definite duties and powers which are quite wide. It is designedi both to execute the decisions of the general assembly and to act on its own initiative. It is free to make recommendations to governments while the assembly is not in session. It differs from the security council in that all its eighteen members are elected by the general assembly and that all the questions with which it deals can be discussed by the assembly. That is, I submit, a substantial difference. The security council is not responsible to the general assembly; it has functions of its own to perform on its own responsibility, and is not in respect of those functions controlled by the assembly, while this economic and social council is elected by the assembly and all its decisions are subject to discussion and review by the general assembly.
This strengthened economic and social council can, I think, be regarded as one of the high achievements of the conference, and it should have an important continuing contribution to make to the great work which lies before the united nations organization.
It will be observed that the resolution now before the house asks for approval both of the united nations charter and of the statute of the international court of justice.
I should like now to say a word about the statute of the international court of justice.
A committee of jurists of the united nations met in Washington from April 9 to April 20, 1945, to draft a statute of the international court of justice to be submitted to the San Francisco conference. Canada was represented by Mr. J. E. Read, K.C., legal adviser to the Department of External Affairs. The Canadian delegation included the Hon. Philippe Brais, K.C., president of the Canadian Bar Association, the Hon. Wendell B. Farris, Chief Justice of British Columbia and chairman of the Canadian Bar Association committee on international questions, and Mr. Warwick F. Chipman, then Canadian ambassador to Chile, and now Canadian ambassador to Argentina. The report of the Washington jurists formed the basis of discussion in San Francisco by a technical committee of the conference. The technical committee prepared a draft text of the chapter of the charter dealing with the court, together with a revised court statute.
The new court is, in many respects, very similar to its predecessor, the permanent court of international justice. But amendments and improvements have been introduced into the
new statute by the international jurists responsible for this aspect of the work of the conference. It will be recalled that when Canada on the 20th September, 1929, adhered to the optional clause of the permanent court it expressly reserved from the jurisdiction of the court disputes for which some other method of peaceful settlement was provided. It reserved expressly disputes with any members of the British commonwealth and disputes the subject of which fall within the domestic jurisdiction of Canada.
On December 7, 1939, Canada also excepted from the jurisdiction of the court disputes arising out of events occurring during the war. Tlius while Canada will automatically have, by ratification of the charter, to submit its disputes to the international court, its acceptance of the court's jurisdiction will remain subject to the reservations made in 1929 and 1939.
One of the most important conditions for the success of the united nations organization is that it should be served by a genuinely international civil service whose members are responsible, not to their governments or to the governments of which they are nationals, but to the organization itself. This was the viewpoint maintained by the Canadian delegation throughout the discussion in the conference committees at San Francisco which dealt with questions relating to the secretariat of the organization and the office of the secretary-general. I might say that this is the view which prevailed.
I have attempted to touch upon some of the most important developments arising out of the San Francisco conference. The charter which emerged from the conference should be capable of growth and adaptation to changing conditions. Its constitution should not be too rigid. It follows, in the view of the Canadian representatives, that the process of securing constitutional amendments should not* be too difficult. We do not look upon it as perfect in its present form. Moreover, no charter drawn up in 1945 can be complete or final. The states and peoples of the world are, in setting up Che united nations organization, experimenting in many new fields of international cooperation. For some years they will be continuing to experiment in the unusual conditions of the transition period from the great war to peace. It is therefore particularly important that the charter should be capable of change by formal constitutional amendment when the world has returned to a more normal state. Unfortunately, the efforts of many of the states represented at San Francisco did not succeed in securing what I would consider a satisfactory, flexible
United Nations Agreement

amendment procedure under the charter. Under that charter each of the five great powers possesses the right to veto the coming into force of any amendment. It is to be hoped they will not employ this veto power in such a way as to give the charter a rigid character.
During the interval between the signing of the charter at San Francisco and the convening of the first sessions of the principal - organs of the united nations, a preparatory commission has been set up charged with making certain essential interim arrangements. The two main tasks of the commission were, first, to study and make recommendations on certain questions which could not well be handled at San Francisco, and, second, to expedite the work of the new organization by thorough preparation for its initial meetings.
In order to make it possible to set up the commission immediately, the instrument creating it was put in the form of an intergovernmental agreement with provision that it came into effect on the date on which it was signed, the 26th of June last, the same date as the signing of the charter. The commission consists of one representative of each signatory government. It is provided that the executive committee which is now sitting in London shall exercise the functions and powers of the commission when it is not in session. This committee is formed of the same states as those which made up the executive committee of the conference, namely, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Iran, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Yugoslavia.
Canada is at present represented on the committee by Mr. D. F. A. Turgeon, Canada's ambassador to Belgium. The committee's work is now well advanced, and it is hoped to hold a meeting of the preparatory commission in the near future. I understand a tentative date for the first meeting has been fixed on the 8th November, and it is hoped that a sufficient number of ratifications will have been deposited with the state department of the United States before that date.
Mr. Stettinius stated recently that already thirty of the nations had adopted approval proceedings,, but formal instruments of ratification, according to the latest information available to us, had been filed only by eleven states, and it was hoped that if the two houses of the Canadian parliament are agreeable to the approval of the charter, the Canadian instrument of ratification can be signed by His Majesty and filed with the state department in Washington by the end of this month.
[Mr. St. Laurent.j
In looking back on the achievement of the San Francisco conference, I think it may be said that foundations were laid for a system of international cooperation in the interests of order, security and progress. We hope on these foundations to build world peace and security, but the work of the conference cannot be isolated from the urgent and difficult problems of the post-war period. Only if these problems are wisely solved will the united nations organization have an opportunity to develop its potentialities. In particular, the conditions under which the new organization will function will depend on the nature of the peace settlement in Europe and Asia. I use the term "peace settlement" in its widest sense to include not only the treatment to be accorded the defeated enemy but the relations between the victorious allies.
If there is to be an effective united nations organization the great powers must remain united under the strains and stresses of the post-war period. At the same time it is essential to any lasting system of security that the middle and smaller powers should be accorded a voice in the peace settlement proportionate to the contributions which they have made in winning the war and which they are willing and able to make to the problems of peace.
To build a solid and enduring structure of international security will be no easy task, but the risks of failure are beyond calculation. The coming of the atomic bomb has opened our eyes to the appalling possibilities which may face the world if the united nations should fail to achieve international cooperation. The charter of the united nations is a first step in the direction of that cooperation between the nations which appears to be essential to the survival of civilization.
In concluding my remarks in support of this motion for approval of the charter, I beg leave to quote from a short speech made by the Canadian Prime Minister at the opening of the San Francisco conference. This is what he said in part:
The people of Canada are firm in their resolve to do whatever lies in their power to ensure that the world will not be engulfed for a third time by a tidal wave of savagery and despotism. That is why our parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the acceptance of the invitation to Canada to participate in this conference. That is why our parliament accepted the proposals of the inviting pow'ers as a satisfactory general basis for the discussion of the proposed charter. That is why the delegation from Canada received from parliament a mandate to use its best endeavours at this conference to further an agreement to establish a world security organization.

United Nations Agreement
Then further down:
It is for each nation to remember that over all nations is humanity. It is for all to remember that justice is the common concern of mankind. The years of war have surely taught the supreme lesson that men and nations should not be made to serve selfish national ends, whether these ends be^ isolated self-defence or world domination. Nations everywhere must unite to save and to serve humanity.


Gordon Graydon: Mr. Speaker, in rising to take part in this debate this evening I think, like most of those who were present at the great world conference at .San Francisco, I shall find some difficulty in bringing into the confines of this chamber the -atmosphere and the setting of San Francisco where the charter was finally moulded in the crucible of deliberation among many nations of the world.
As a preliminary to what I have to say perhaps I might properly quote a couple of paragraphs which I wrote home from San Francisco at the beginning of the conference. This is what I said:
Every time one turns around in this almost spotless, roomless, meatless city of warmhearted hospitable San Franciscans, with their sixty-year-old, cable-pulled, Toonerville-type streetcars, a prospective story is born. Over a billion of the globe's population has someone here speaking for them. In hotel lobbies, eating-places-wherever people gather-the garb and tongue of nations, some of wdiich to ordinary laymen like myself were almost but a memory of old public school history days go to make up this strange but glorious and compelling international panorama.
In the first few weeks of our stay no flags flew in the streets of San Francisco save the half-masted stars and stripes, waving over this city of the Golden Gate in eloquently silent memory of a common people's president, who passed away before two of his fondest dreams had been realized-victory in Europe and permanent peace in the world.
The conference opening without Roosevelt seemed like a party without the host, but his name echoed through the auditorium and * corridors of the conference more frequently than .any other.
I have been asked from time to time about the Canadian delegation, and with that I desire to commence my remarks. The Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs (Mr. St. Laurent) very properly pointed out to-night some of the features of the delegation's work. It was a multiple party delegation, a delegation drawn from the three parties in the House of Commons. Its structure largely followed the procedure which was adopted in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
People have asked me, and no doubt have asked other members of the delegation, "How did you get along when all three political parties were represented there together?" Well, I answered them as I answer this house
to-night. My answer was the product of my own feeling. Others who were there may speak for themselves. I felt that the mission upon which we had embarked and the job which we set out to accomplish at San Francisco was one which was definitely related to the end of a war which had been hardly fought by many hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Those troops who made possible the peace we now enjoy marched shoulder to shoulder in order to win this war. While they were fighting they were not thinking very much of party differences or party divisions.
Being trustees for these men and women who had fought our battles-because, after all, that is what we were very largely, civilian trustees for them at San Francisco-we felt that we would be less than good trustees if we did not try to march shoulder to shoulder as best we could and present a united and powerful voice on behalf of Canada to the world. That is what we tried to do; that is what I hope we have succeeded in doing. I never thought that there was any room or any place for partisan politics in time of war. I did not feel that there was any room for partisan politics in maintaining the peace. It would be a poor lookout for international amity if we in Canada were not able and willing to provide a united and powerful Canadian voice in a world assembly such as this.
May I make a suggestion to the Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs, a suggestion which is founded upon a remark which he made a few moments ago when he asked for the voice of Canada in the peace settlements of the world. In that I think everyone in this house concurs. I think he might go further than that. I think we may properly suggest that the plans which worked out so well at the San Francisco conference would also work out well at the peace conference. I suggest that consideration be given to taking to the peace conference representatives from every party in the House of Commons in order that we may have a proper and a fully united front in the deliberations that have to do with the peace of the world.
At this time I should like to bring to the attention of the house something which went very far toward making a success of the conference. I wish to pay a tribute at this time to the outstanding service rendered by the permanent officials and the entire staff of the Department of External Affairs as well as all who had a part in the work. It was a pleasure to work with them, as it was a pleasure to work with everyone of the Canadian delegates there. Canada's approach to the work of the security conference was one of helpful cooperation. There was no desire or determina-
United Nations Agreement

tion on the part of our delegates to indulge in loud talk or unreasonable insistence upon our own particular point of view. We pressed amendments from time to time, but, may I say, Mr. Speaker, not to the'point of hurting the chances of the charter being finally adopted. The charter was far too important and vital to allow considerations of that kind to interfere with its final adoption. In other words, we felt that it was better for Canada and the world if we approached the conference rather in the spirit of a meeting of minds than as a brittle collision of opinions. Canada did not attempt to be spectacular at San Francisco. I had for my objective, and I am sure I am speaking for those who were at the conference, first of all the doing of a good job for Canada and the world; and, second, trying to show the world that Canada was ready to participate to the fullest extent in connection with her contribution to world peace; that she was ready to assume and fulfil her full obligations to the world; that in so doing she was prepared to shirk not a single national or international duty, and that this nation was ready to pitch isolationism overboard, once and for all.
Of course Canada's geographical and national position meant that we had a key part to' play, so far as conference deliberations were concerned. Our very close ties with the British commonwealth, our close relations with the United States of America and our friendship with every country great and small brought Canada to a key position, so far as exercising a great influence on the general activities of the conference went. At San Francisco I found that Canada was the enemy of none and the friend of all.
I believe I may speak with some considerable weight, and as a result of experience when I say that of all those nations which took part in the plenary sessions and the sittings of the committees day and night, there was none more popular at San Francisco than was the good old Dominion of Canada.
A minute ago I referred to the British commonwealth, and I should like to say a word in connection with the part the commonwealth played in the deliberations of the world conference, and what I say in this respect will, I am sure, be borne out by all who were there. I was never in my life more proud of the fact that Canada is part and parcel of the great British commonwealth than I was when I attended the San Francisco conference. There the many units of the commonwealth displayed a spirit of healthy md living collaboration which, I felt, should be known to the house. The British commonwealth met every single test to which it TMr. Graydon.J
was subjected at that conference. It show'ed that it was an exemplary, going international concern pledged to world peace, and one which had been tried and proven in the fiery crucible of experience, and had emerged therefrom after having achieved a great victory.
I think most of us who sit in this chamber this evening will remember the occasion in 1943 when the then foreign secretary' for Great Britain, the Right Hon. Anthony Eden, stood at the head of the clerk's table, and delivered his address. We well recall hearing him say on that occasion that the British commonwealth was a pattern which the world might w'isely follow in its quest for peace. I have come from the San Francisco conference with the conviction, one which has been confirmed since my return, that there never was a need greater than that found at this time for uniting and bringing the units of the British commonwealth closer together.
The wisdom of holding the conference when it was held must be apparent to all. It was held at a time when the world was still under the umbrella of armed hostility. I am wondering whether, if that umbrella had been lifted before its deliberations, the accomplishments and achievements of San Francisco would have been as great, as important and as vital.
In this connection I would draw the attention of hon. members to the report of a prominent Ottawa journalist, Mr. I. Norman Smith who, among others, was with us at the conference, and whose brief but cogent remarks respecting the opening of the conference might appropriately be placed before hon. members this evening. In his brief, but most informative book called "San Francisco, the First Step to Peace," Mr. Smith said this:
At the end of 10,OW words in which realism and idealism fought themselves to a draw, the charter's authors had lost something of their enthusiasm. The text ends very prosaically: "Done at the city of San Francisco the 26tli day of June, 1945." But the united nations charter is the better for having been born the hard way.
The San Francisco conference had its struggles. At the beginning it was not a certain starter. Half w'ay through it was not a certain finisher. Indeed, on looking back on these two months of discussion, those of us who were there sometimes wonder how the conference survived at all. Its father, President Roosevelt, died mere days before it got under way. Russia arrested Polish statesmen sponsored by Britain. Trouble broke out betwen France and Syria and Lebanon. Sides were drawn up on Argentina. Peace rumours occupied the minds of its great men for ten days. Germany's surrender finally came through in a naturally disconcerting fashion, and the British government called a general election.

United Nations Agreement
That indicates the point of view taken by one who was very close to the conference during its deliberations. But there is another matter which might be mentioned at this time, and which is of vital concern and importance in respect of the results achieved by the conference. While it was in progress the physical devastation possible through the use of atomic energy had not been made known to the world, nor had we knowledge of the psychological changes which the unloosening of that energy would bring about. The possibilities of that great power had not reached in and gripped the hearts and minds and souls of humanity, as it has since that time.
While some may argue that the advent of atomic energy has outmoded and outdated the San Francisco charter, I do not share their view. I believe the atomic bomb has made the successful operation of the San Francisco charter even more vitally important and essential than it ever was before. It may well be, however, that in any operations which will take place under the charter in connection with taking action for the enforcement of world security, scientific laboratories may enter into the picture in a fashion which was not contemplated at San Francisco. I do believe that the power plans for enforcement envisaged by the charter may have to be revised drastically, but I am equally convinced that the charter itself is even more essential and more vital to-day than it was in those pre-atomic days. In the light of the atomic bomb, San Francisco must and will of course adapt itself.
I do not hesitate to bring to the house some of the more human elements and factors of the conference because it is difficult to convey the real meaning of San Francisco in words. One found at the committee meetings of the conference the same type of people, the same kind of approaches, the same factors and features,' in a greater and larger way of course, as would be found at a municipal council meeting, in a provincial legislature or in the dominion House of Commons. After all, it was a great meeting of people and, when you have a great meeting of people, you have well known characteristics coming up and asserting themselves throughout the gathering.
One part of the conference I liked was the opportunity to meet the men and women who represented the various nations. It was a great and compelling experience to rub shoulders with people from other nations and to talk with them, to know their problems and to try to understand them. But there were difficulties. There was the difficulty, of course, of language which seems to some people
to prove an almost insurmountable obstacle. But as one got used to the procedure at San Francisco, as one received the various translations that followed the speeches, one became accustomed to the procedure. In spite of all the barriers of race, creed, religion and language, when one looks at this charter and sees it printed in the Chinese, in the Russian, in the Spanish, in the French and in the English languages he realizes how difficult it is for the ordinary layman to translate one into the other, let alone reach international understanding. I think one must come to the conclusion that a masterly job was done in bringing the nations of the world as closely together as this charter has been successful so far in doing.
I should like to make a further reference to the human element that entered into the conference itself. The dry bones of the words of this charter do not begin to convey what happened at San Francisco and the evolution and changes and amendments, yes and the melting pot through which these various national aspirations, national aims and national claims had to go in order to be refined into the document which is now presented to this house for approval.
A few moments ago the Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs mentioned the price which it was necessary to pay in order that there should be a charter. This country along with other countries had to make certain alterations in their positions in order that the price which had to be paid for this document would be paid for by this country as it was paid for by others. I am one who believes that the price was not too great to pay if this charter only works in the days that lie ahead.
A few moments ago I spoke about the Department of External Affairs, and at this time I want to inject another note into the discussion. After having been to San Francisco, I am more convinced than ever-I hope no one will take this as a personal reflection- that there should be a separate Minister of External Affairs for the Dominion of Canada. After having watched and observed with rather close scrutiny the other international movements of like character as well which have been taking place, I feel that the appointment or creation of a separate ministry is a "must" for this dominion.
I want to say to my hon. friends opposite something which I have said to them before in this House of Commons. I think the question of international affairs is one of the most important that this nation and this parliament must deal with. The department is growing in size and in importance. If ever a depart-
United Nations Agreement

ment needed a separate minister, it is the Department of External Affairs. I would point out that not only is there no separate Minister of External Affairs, but there is no parliamentary assistant for this great department which has developed so fast in recent years. It is not enough for this country to have a Department of External Affairs which is a lean-to to the Prime Minister's house so far as parliamentary institutions are concerned. I hold, the personal opinion very strongly that we in Canada are entering an era of diplomatic and international affairs of a serious nature, one which is fraught, I think, with possibilities of a kind which I need not enlarge upon to-night. I want to emphasize to this house the importance of having the government so organized that this department shall be something more than it is to-day. This nation deserves that, and in the days that lie ahead I believe the government will find that that is so.
There is one other criticism I wish to make of the government, a matter which I raised a few week's ago in this house. I do not think the government of Canada pressed sufficiently hard to have the international peace centre of the world come to the Dominion of Canada. In my opinion there were most compelling reasons why this nation might properly have looked forward to being the great international peace centre of the future. In my view the circumstances warranted the exerting of pressure which was at least equal to that exerted by other nations. I have no desire to reflect upon the choice that has been made, but I do want to reflect upon the wisdom and judgment of the government which was remiss and in default with respect to our Canadian people n that regard.
I do not desire to-night to enter into a letailed discussion of the charter itself. There Will be others in our party perhaps who will, as the debate proceeds, deal with the various sections of the charter. I was interested in the minister's report of the various aspects of the charter. He spoke about the question of withdrawal. As he properly pointed out, there is nothing in the charter which actually says that a nation may withdraw from its obligations or rights so far as the charter is concerned. However, when this matter came up in the senate of the United States the legal opinion was given, as most hon. members know, that according to the report of the conference itself, while it was not specifically mentioned in the charter, nevertheless the right of withdrawal was left to any nation which desired to exercise it.
The minister has made reference to the general assembly and the security council. There are, naturally, weaknesses in any charter
[Mr. Graydon.J
of this kind, but in the setting up of the assembly and the security council, which are quite different in their outlook and jurisdiction from anything connected with the old League of Nations, the attempt was made by Dumbarton Oaks and by San Francisco to retrieve some of the mistakes that had been made in setting up the previous world organization by adopting an organization more suited to the circumstances which now face the world. So that we have in the general assembly and the security council two bodies with a peculiar relationship toward each other. Both of them stem from the charter rather than one from the other.
Let those who may think that the security council is something in the nature of an executive body of the general assembly disabuse their minds of that idea at once. The general assembly has powers to discuss and recommend and to initiate studies. It has no powers actually to enforce permanent peace and security throughout the world. The security council itself is the one organ of the united nations which may be referred to as having the steel knuckles required to take care of those recalcitrant people in the world of to-morrow who may attempt to start aggression.
As the minister pointed out a few moments ago, the security council, with its veto provisions, aroused great controversy at the conference. There was the question of the smaller nations which desired, of course, to increase the power and authority of the general assembly. After all the lengthy discussion of the veto provisions, that power was watered down in only one very minor respect. The veto that was agreed to at Yalta carried through at the San Francisco conference with but one minor change, and that was that there shall be no veto when the matter being decided in the security council is whether or not a certain question should be discussed. In every other respect the veto power remains^ so that any one of the five great powers may by refusing to vote unanimously with the others block any enforcement procedure which the security council might otherwise adopt.
There was another Canadian amendment which I do not think the minister mentioned. It arose out of a set of circumstances which I think the house will recognize at once are important. This nation is not one of the five great powers. It could not be one of the five great powers because of our population and general strength. But, this nation more closely approaches a big power than most of the other nations of the world outside the big five powers. It was the feeling of the Canadian delegation, having that in mind, that

United Nations Agreement
when the question of election to the security council or of election to other bodies which may from time to time required appointments from this country came up, there should be some kind of recommendation with respect to our ability and capacity to contribute to the success of such an organization; and the Canadian delegation, while the amendment it proposed did not go through as originally drafted and was watered down and perhaps made a little more temperate, did make a recommendation to the general assembly that when elections to the security council are being held, the question of a nation's ability and capacity to contribute should be taken into consideration.
One phase of the conference's work in which I was especially interested was the setting up of the economic and social council. In the redrafting of the provisions of this new organ, which does not perhaps owe to Canada its entire birth as an organ in the united nations set-up, nevertheless the "Canadian people can take some credit for at least sponsoring it in its present form, because the present charter provisions setting up the economic and social council of the united nations contain, I believe, more words written in by the Canadian delegation than by any other nation in the world. That was because the Canadian delegation brought to the conference what was almost a charter in itself with respect to this council. I think we as a nation may take some credit for the fact that in this new sphere of activity, this new sphere of human relations where human values are considered perhaps more highly than almost any other, Canada took a leading part in bringing this new part of the charter on social and economic cooperation into effect.
There are many in this chamber who, I am sure, believe with me that we should not entirely confine our thoughts on peace to curative measures after difficult situations have arisen which need remedying. I think most members of the house will agree with me that the preventive side of war as well as the curative side of war must be considered in the years that lie ahead because, as has been said from time to time, and sometimes perhaps in a critical sense, in our efforts to secure world peace the social and economic aspects of world affairs must be given a more prominent and more vital position than they have ever occupied in days gone by. The economic and social council at least does provide some ray of hope that the nations of the world will yet beat their swords into ploughshares and banish man's inhumanity to man the world over; for, Mr. Speaker, this great new world of ours to-morrow must be a world of trade and
prosperity and jobs, and not a world of stagnation and depression and doles. A peace based upon social and economic justice has a chance to live, but in my opinion a peace based on any other foundation faces death at its very birth. So that, having taken a position at this world conference as a Canadian nation on the side of this progressive movement which I have just outlined and which is envisaged in this great charter, we may look with no small degree of pride upon the fact, which I think will be confirmed by the hon. member for Rosetown-Biggar (Mr. Coldwell), that ^the nations of the world have begun to look to Canada for leadership in this great and growing important field of human endeavour.
The question of the military agreements, mentioned by the minister, should not be overlooked. It is all very well for this country to approve the charter; the question is, what shall we do as a nation to implement our fair share of the obligations which it entails? That is a matter which must not be lightly considered by this house. When the military agreements involved in the charter are presented to the house, in accordance with the terms of the charter, for ratification by constitutional process in this land, as in others, the real test of the Canadian people, whether they are ready to practise what they preach, will confront the nation and parliament. One of the Canadian amendments which the minister did not mention had to do with this matter of military agreements. As the Dumbarton Oaks document was originally drawn and submitted as a basis of discussion to the San Francisco conference it was very loosely worded with respect to these agreements. It called in a vague fashion for military agreements to be made between the various members of the organization. No one knew who would initiate the agreements; no one knew who would start the procedure, and the result was that at one stage it looked as though the Dumbarton Oaks proposal if accepted would lead to a stalemate or something worse. The Canadian amendment which was finally accepted by the conference, was, I think, a good one. As a result, agreements will now be made, not loosely with such nations as a country may see fit to make an agreement, but in the future it is the security council with which each nation in connection with peace enforcement will have to deal. We set up machinery for peace once before, and we got war. This peace must this time in every sense of the term be a people's peace, because unless it is founded upon the will of the peoples of the world the temple of peace will soon crumble and decay.
United Nations Agreement

One danger which I'saw while meeting with delegates at San Francisco was this: It is all very well to go to an international conference, to listen to the speeches made in plenary session, and assume that the whole world is about to enter a new era of sunshine; but it is most important for those who represent a nation to make sure that, while we are lifted into international clouds of theory, we shall come down and get our feet on the ground and not forget who it is that sends us to these conferences. We have to be realists. Idealism is good, but there must be a blending of the two. As most of us took our seats at the committee tables or in the plenary sessions of that great conference, I believe the thought came to our minds that, after all, it is the people at home, not ourselves, who are to determine whether this peace will work or whether it will fail.
There is not much room now for Canada or any other nation to indulge itself in the role of an international Pollyanna. We have a real problem to face, and we shall have to face it with all the realism in the world. In this connection it may be appropriate to point out that, were another world war to break out, Canada could scarcely count on emerging from it with her own territory untouched by enemy action. Let this house and this nation realize the full significance of these words. Our experience of comparative security in that respect in the recent war is not likely to be repeated in another. We paid a heavy price in men, money and material for failure to prepare for this war. The same is true of other nations. We must not fail to profit by our experience and realize that peace will not be the lot of the Canadians of to-morrow through talk and pious hopes alone. Canada wants an opportunity of preventing wars instead of just an opportunity of fighting them after they have broken out. A peace worth having is a peace worth fighting for. Although the cost be great, this nation must join with other like-minded peace loving nations to crush aggressors who would plunge the world into another armed holocaust.
May I in my concluding remarks answer the question, what promise does San Francisco give? After all, it was not just an idle conference. It was one from which the people of the world expected and were entitled to results. In dealing with this point I wish to speak to the house as bluntly and frankly as I know how. At the time I left San Francisco, had I made this speech it might have been a little different from the one I am making in this house at the moment because, as time goes on, the seriousness of Canada's position and its vital significance in world affairs become impressed upon one more

strongly than ever. In so far as San Francisco and the charter are concerned, we cannot forget that it will not be the small nations which will start or finish a world-wide conflagration. It takes big powers to begin and end wars on a global basis. Having that in mind, I would say, let us look on San Francisco, not as a cure-all, but as a great and important advance and a great adventure in international understanding. Having that in mind, I would say in laymen's language that San Francisco is nothing more and nothing less than this. It is the table under which the nations of the world may put their feet and talk things over instead of putting rifles on their shoulders and going to war to fight it out. That is San Francisco, nothing more and nothing less May I go one step farther in my argument. When people ask, will there be peace or will there be war? I say that if the big powers of the world stick together we shall have peace, but if the big powers do not stick together we may have war.
San Francisco in my opinion is the way to peace. There is an old saying that where there is a will there is a way. San Francisco is the way to peace; but unless the nations of the world have the will to peace the way will avail but little in the solution of our international affairs of to-morrow and the bringing of a permanent, just and lasting peace to all of us. Nevertheless the San Francisco document is an advanced attempt to create the best machinery possible for ensuring permanent peace. It is now up to the nations to use that machinery. Civilization cannot afford to resort to almost certain, yes, shall I make it more emphatic than that and say certain annihilation, which now seems attendant upon another world-wide resort to force. This time, the world, in my humble judgment, will think twice before taking any step which will lead to mass obliteration of mankind. That is what the next world war would most certainly mean. It is, Mr. Speaker, a case of do or die, so far as the nations of the world are concerned, and San Francisco goes far in providing the way to peace for a world with the will to have it.
May I close with just this observation. There is perhaps more sentiment attached to the problem of world peace and the San Francisco conference than almost anything which will be brought up in this House of Commons. At least I think we as a parliament have the right to hope and fervently to pray, in the years that lie ahead, that through the instrumentality of San Francisco, through the instrumentality of the will of the nations of the world for peace, we may look forward- I do not say we can look forward with com-

C.N.R-Annual Reports
plete confidence, but at least we have the right to look confidently forward-to the days when there will be an answer to the prayers of those millions of people who knelt at their bedsides the world over while the San Francisco conference was in progress and prayed that we would see an end to the marks and scars which war leaves upon humanity, in every country of the world. Those people, our people, prayed that there would come a time when a permanent, just and lasting peace with all its sunshine would again spread its rays over the face of the earth, the time which was so prophetically immortalized in the words of Lord Tennyson so many years ago and with which words I close:
Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
There the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm in awe, t And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in " universal law.
We shall support the resolution.


Mr.  M. J. COLD WELL@Rosetown-Biggar: Mr. Speaker, we have heard from two of the delegates who attended the San Francisco conference. The Minister of Justice, Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs (Mr. St. Laurent), has given a comprehensive outline of what was achieved at that conference and has made, I think, a splendid presentation of the charter itself. My hon. friend the member for Peel (Mr. Graydon) has brought some of the atmosphere of the conference into this chamber, the colourful atmosphere, if I may put it in that way, of San Francisco. If there was one thing which perhaps we learned it was that the delegates assembled there, regardless of their race, their creed or their colour, all made a contribution. All, regardless of colour, race or language, seemed to have been endowed by Almighty God, if I may say so, with equal ability to discuss and to understand the affairs of the world in which we live.	-
If you will permit me, Mr. Speaker, I should prefer not to begin at this hour the contribution which I hope I may be able to make to this debate when it is resumed on Thursday afternoon, and I would therefore ask you to agree to an adjournment of the debate now and to call it eleven o'clock.
On motion of Mr. Coldwell the debate was adjourned.
