D. Fulton, M.P. January 17th, 1953. This session, which resumed on January 12th, is living up to expec- tations for liveliness, heat and gen- eral interest. The central theme con- tinues to be the Currie Report, with its revelations of what it calls, “A fundamentally loose situation” in the control of administration at the top levels of the Department of National Defence. On Tuesday, January 13th, the Prime Minister moved a resolution calling for the setting up of a com- uaittee to review all Defence expendi- tures, and commitments for expen- ditures, since March 1950. To the surprise of everyone, except those in his own party, he did not speak in support of his own resolution, or say a word in justification of the Goverp- ment’s position, but simply bowed. to the Speaker when the resolution was called to indicate that he complied with the formality of actually movie the resolution, then resumed his seat suid left it to the Minister of National Dafence to carry the load. This was only the first surprise in a Yebate which has been full of sur- prises. These included a charge by Mr. Knowles thay Mr. Coldwell had been threatened with the use of the RCMP unless he disclosed where he obtained his copy of the report, that the Chief of the General Staff was dictating to the Government and to More About Cracker Barrel (Continued from Page 3) type of coal then we have a right to be fully informed of it. On the other hand, if no such justification exists we have nothing to. fear from emu- lating American enterprise as exem- plified in the foregoing exerpts from the article by Thomas P. Swift. We want something a little more intelligent than the line put out by the Vancouver Daily with it dangling red herring. We see no reason why we must import hard coal from Aus- tralia or elsewhere.

W. George, from New Brunswick, who sat last year as a member of the De- fence Expenditure Committee, had drawn pay in his capacity as a Mem- ber of Parliament and an officer of the Reserve Forces, for more days in 1951 than there are days in the calendar year. , The question of a threat to Mr. Coldwell arises out of the fact that the Minister of National Defence tabled a series of letters exchanged between himself, Mr. Currie, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Coldwell and Mr, Gar- son regarding the inquiries into the way in which a copy.of the report had come into Mr. Coldwell’s hands in, advance of publication. In his letter’ ; to Mr. Coldwell — who was at the time in hospital — Mr. Claxton in-| formed him that the R.C.M. Police had been instructed to make a ‘ull| investigation and then went on to, say that it would be ‘‘most helpful’) if, before-they commenced their in-| | quiries Mr. Coldwell would give all information in his possession as to how the copy found its way into his hands. The Prime Minister denied that this constituted any sort of threa!. Mr. Knowles and others had taken the position that Members of Parlia- ment owe a duty to those whom they represent and to the public in gen- eral to obtain information, and when| ‘St comes into their possession, then | in the exercise of their judgment to use it if it seems proper to do so, in the general interest of the country.| He quoted passages from Mr. Winsto-. | Churchill, Mr. Atlee, Sir Archibald.

He went on to say that it seemed that what concerned the Gov- ernment most was not so much the fact that information had come some- how or other into Mr. Coldwell’s pos- FIXER-UPPER ,, ecient —Central Press Canadian Beverley Pollock of Carleton Place, Ont, has the official job of attending Canadians and Americans who wish to see the coronation.

Mr, St. Laurent’s standing to use the words “stolen property.” When Mr. Knowles asked him if he did possess such information, the Prime Minis- ter’s answer was that he expected very shortly to be able to state not only that it was stolen, but who stole it. Interesting though this revela- tion was as to the progress of the in- vestigation it did prove clearly that he had no proper foundation for making the statement regarding re- ceiving stolen property and Mr. St. Laurent had to modify this remark That was on Thursday. So far -- two days later — nothing further has been said as to whether the police have discovered that the document was stolen, or who stole it, or whe- ther they are in fact going to be able to prove these facts. The outcome of this investigation is naturally await- ed with the greatest of interest, ana whichever way it goes the final re- port is bound to create a pretty ter- rifie stir. But it has been remarked that it would be proper to suggest that the Government might concern itself as greatly, and take as vigorous action to clean up the situation in its own Department revealed by the Currie Report, as it shows and is taking in connection with the com- paratively minor side issue of the appearance of one unauthorized copy of the report. s 2 rather armor}: that information embarra: them because it disclosed that they had been guilty of bringing pressure on Mr. Currie to change his report be- tween the time it was first drafted and the time it was finally presented They had been, as he put it, “Caught in the act’”’ and that, he said, was the real reason for their concern. The Prime Minister's answer to all this was a pretty violent attack on Mr. Coldwell, going even so far as to state that he had received stolen property, knowing it to have been stolen. This was interesting, because so far as the House knew, there was no evidence that the report was stolen — not, that is. evidence which would justify a prominent lawyer of ORDER YOUR COUNTER SALES BOOKS SCRATCH PADS RUBBER STAMPS) THE TRIBUNE BRORGHIAL COUG Are you kept awake by a nerve-racking bronchial cough?
