It was to‘ be, among other things, a body ofi cooperation and supervision of alli unemployment expenditure. It was} to work with the provinces and mum icipalities, so that Canada would get! a maximum of return for all moneys expended on unemployment works and relief. It has, unquestionably, done useful work. It has not cost! anything like as much as some press | comment would suggest. But, after‘ being as charitable as possible about § it, and estimating that the good it. has done far outweighs the financial cost to the treasury, the fact re- mains that it has barely touched the fringe of the unemployment problem in Canada. The Home Improvement‘ Planâ€"its prize accomplishment to dateâ€"has stimulated home repairs. So far less than $2,000,000 has been spent across the Dominion through the scheme. Some of this would' have been spent amyway. Perhaps when the better weather comes the} program will expand materially. The. Youth Employment Committee, start- ing out with an ambitious $7,000,000 scheme, has voted $1,000,000 by 8:. begrudging treasury board. Trade expansion by treaty, the main plank of the government’s re- covery program, hit its first serious snag in Australia, where the Min-.- ister of Trade and Commerce re- _ signed in protest against his own» ‘ government’s refusal to back him in 1 his proposal to abrogate the trade i However, when one came to exam- ine closely the speeches of opposi- ltion members, there was not very much of a useful or constructive character about them. No new solu- tions were suggested. The value of protective tariffs was dilated upon, ‘but not with the same enthusiasm as before they were thoroughly testâ€" ed out in 1930 to 1933. The Social Credit members continued to urge ithe particular type of monetary re- 3form with which they are associated .as a way out of the woods. The C.C.F. group asserted that a program of socialism was necessary to save Canada and the world. Hon. H. H. Stevens, lone Reconstruction candi- date, urged members to ‘de poli- tics’ in dealing with the grave prob- lem of the Canadian National Rail- ways deficit, advised the govern- ment to call a special session of par- "lam-ent this fall to cope with it, creating- three parliamentary comâ€" mittees, members and senators, to heal with the several aspects of i" (Bore Brunt of Attack) The National EniplOyment (70m mission came in- for a great deal 0 attack.

It has been, I fancy. as valu- able as most detached observer" thought it would be. But it has n01 worked any miracle. It has producer' a crop of fertile suggestions, -omc of which have been adopted: other of which have been pigeonâ€"holed 0‘ flatly rejected. Hon. Norman Rog-â€" ers was driven. in the House of Com moms, to admit that the usefulness of the commission might not be in- terminable, that in two months, or six months, or some other period, its work would have been done. But he defended warmly the work it had acâ€" complished to date. Criticism of the government for its failure to do more than it has done in remedying conditions; for its re- lianoe on export trade to cure un- employment; for its inadequate treat- ment of the single homeless men and women; for the futility of the na- tional employment commission; for its ‘fireasale' wheat policy; for its acceptance in 1937 of an agreement with the United Kingdom which it attacked so trenchantly in 1932: these were the major charges of op- position members. Conservatives, C. C. F. and Social Credit took turns in denouncing the administration for sins of omission and commission. it, because everyone knew before it started that the government's top- heavy majority would smother all opposition then. Only one Liberalâ€" W. H. Moore of Oshawaâ€"attacked the trade agreement, and voted.f0r the ‘wanbâ€"of-confidence’ amendment moved by Mr. Bennett. Ottawa, March 16.â€"The budget de- bate this year was of interest chief- l'y because of the light it threw on the condition of the country, of the feeling of the people, and of the so- lutions being discussed fer the coun- try’s ills.

Glen, Lib- eral, Marquette, Man. “The farmers of this country are too often held up to rid'cule. You cannot go to a moving picture: show and see the character of the farmer depicted without discovering that he portrays the part of some hayseed ‘hillbillyt ignoramus from the back- ’ woods somewhere.

Hansell, Social Credit, Macâ€" leod. “The turning point in the impmveâ€" ment of Canadian trade dates back to the Ottawa agreements of 1932.

(Cross Section of Debate) A vivid cross-section of the budget debate is provided by the foHowing snatches gleaned from members’ re- marks: “In my opinion, Mr. Speaker, never since Confederation has the power and influence of parliament been at as low an ebb as it is toâ€"éay."â€"Hon.

The following is from the Chab- ham News of February 25th: “Mrs. Brackin was born at Elgin’s Corners neu- Riehnond Bill, her maiden name being Sarah Anna Livingston. For over half a century she has lived in Chatham, her husband coming here as the Principal of the Mc- Keough Public School, a position in which he established an enviable re- putation and. a successful record.

The sons were Williom who passed away 33 years ago, Robert L. who after a Mrs. Sarah Ann Brarkln, widow of the late James Brackin who was principal of Richmond llill Public school many years ago, died at, her home in Chatham February 23rd. The Brackin-s will be remembered' by many of Richmond Hill’s older resi- dents. Mr. Brackin was principal here when there were but three rooms in the Public school. He is fondly! remembered by his old pupils for his striking personality and his exceptional ability as a teacher. He had marked ability as a. story-teller, and he told many to his pupils, poss- ibly when he saw them tired! or rest- less.

Even the one dollar fee was greatly resented. The radio license can well be classed in the “Nuisance Tax List” and the government would do well to dis- continue it. Everyone of this opinion should write both the Minister of Marine and their local member at the House of Commons, Ottawa, askâ€" ing that the license fee be discon- tinued.
