Things Worse Than War Election. _ The Premier proceeded, saying he realized that the responsibilities _ of Sir Wilfrid Laurier were not of an inâ€" ferior to those of the Administration. He (Sir Robert) had received _ many communications from almost _ every part of the country urging upon him the desirability of enforcing and secur ing extensionâ€" by a party mn)orlty.1 There were disadvantages in a war A year ago, when extension was granted, Canada had 125,000 men overâ€" seas. Now her total casualties were rapidty approaching that figure. In the past two months they had been 12,000. Canada had sent over 200,0006 men across the ocean, and it was necessary to realize, in dealing with the extenâ€" sion, that, the foundations of civilizaâ€" tion were in jeopardy. It was imposâ€" sible to overstate the seriousness of the situation. It had been well and eloquently stated to the house a year ago by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, whose words from Hansard the Premier read. Civilization in Jeopardy. It was not necessary, Sir Robert conâ€" tinued, to dwell upon the gravity of the situation with which the country, the Empire and the world were confrontâ€" ’ Powers of very extensive character had been granted to the Government by the war measures act of 1914. The present proposal was not an alteration of the constitution. It was a temporâ€" ary suspension of the constitution. This was the view taken by Sir Wilâ€" frid Laurier in his speech approving extension on February 16, of last year, and the Premier uoted and approved Sir Wiifrid‘s words. | He feared, however, that such an apâ€" peal could not successfully be made under the existing imminence of a general election. Unity would be necâ€" essary to make the appeal effective, and that unity would be absent. He feared that ‘ unless extension were granted the proposal would have to be abandomed. Precedents in Britain and N. Z. _ Sir Robert referred briefly to the precedents for Parliamentary exten | sion in Britain and New Zealand, an« dealt with the disturbed political cor ‘ ditions which made extension impos i sible in Australia. He pointed oni{ that every selfgoverning nation of the Empire had found it impossible to give the same regard to constitutional powers as in times of peace. Temporary Suspension of Constitution. the minds and energies and thoughts of the people from aiding in the war to igsues of relative insignificance. Govt. Would Have to Take Part. In an election campaign, the Premâ€" ier proceeded, the members of the Govâ€" ernment could not remain silent under attack. They must put forth their best efforts to justify themselves and their administration; they must devote their energies .to the, political campaign or let the eflnpai; take care of itself. â€" Difficulty of Soidiers Voting.. There were now 300,000 Canadian troops overseas, and it was impossible to anticipate what proportion of these troopsâ€"would have the opportunity of voting and what proportion would not. It would depend upon the character of the field operations at the time. ~ All of these men had & right to their say in the Parliamentary representation of the country they served., Volunt-rg:fiort Appeal Considered. Premier rden said he had been much impressed by "eloquent appeals from the other side of he House" to precede the actual operation of the conscription measure by a united and earnest effort of all parties and interâ€" ests to secure by voluntary enlistment the reinforcements needed at the front. sald, were as strong as, if not strongâ€" er than, those which he placed before the House a year ago. Election Would Cause Disunion. An election would cause disunion and discord where there was seeming uniâ€" ty, and men were working together without distinction of party. Politics had not been much in the minds of the people during the past three years, and to have an election would divert October 17,1918, and the reasons for this aditional extension, the Premier Ottawa, July 17.â€"TBhé resolution for election, extension of Parliament was carr<d|even woi by a vote of B2 to 62. if 0; As Strong Reasons as Year Ago..

STRONG ADDRESSES W ERE Â¥First for Conseription of Wealth, Organization « Resources, and Lowering of Living Cost, Defeated. ‘ But the amendment merely asked |that the consideration of the proposal | to extend the life of Parliament be deâ€" | ferred until action was taken to reâ€" quire &dccumwlated wealth to contrlâ€" bute its proper share of the war exâ€" pense of the action. Mr. Pardee roâ€" iminded the House should not, by its vote, spill the blood of Canadians and be afraid to -ym the money of rich men,. ’Fun Union Government Not Poulble.: | "Let me speak quite plainly and. i frarkly for a moment," continued Mr.i Pardee. "For a long . timeâ€"since within a year of the beginning of the warâ€"the conviction has been growâ€" ing upon me that the proper thing for Canada in this war is a National or Union Government, from â€" which mere party considerations would be eliminated. From the time that war broke out great new problems have almost daily faced Canada, problems that demanded handling by men with | an eye single to the national interest. | The problems and issues are toâ€"day Ilnrgo. They will be still larger. Had it been possible to form a Union or a National Government, or any other ‘The dnly way you tan get that is by an income tax, and an income tax it is the present intention of the Govâ€" ernment to introduce to the Parliament and pass." Loud cheers greeted the statement. Should Have Passed Bill First. Mr. Fred F. Pardee opened by exâ€" pressing the conviction that the resoâ€" lution of the Premier for the extenâ€" sion of Paliament should not now have been introduced. These were times of much political and Parliamentary nn-: rest. Grave questions of paramount national concern were before Parli&] ment. The military service bill had passed its committee stage. The proâ€" posal to extend the present Parliament should, Mr. Pardee maintained, have been postponed until this bill was finâ€" ally passed, and the policy of the Govâ€" ernment on other problems of immedâ€" fate national interest declared. No Want of Confidence. The resoiution of Hon. Mr. Graham was in no sense a want of confidence mt:rn. Had such an amendment been presented to the conscription bill Mt. Pardee would have felt himseif comâ€" pelled to vote against it on the grounds that it was a resolution calculated to cause delay, and in the nature of want of confidence.. Sir George was discussing the conâ€" scription of wealth, and made the anâ€" nouncement in the following words: | Must Back Up the Boys. _ _"Our first business should be the winning of/the warâ€"the supporting of the boys at the front. It is useless to serd men to the front, either volunâ€" tarily or forcibly, unless we are preâ€" pared to back them up," he went on. Income Tax to be Brought In. The feature of the speech of â€" Sir George Foster, who followed, was the announcement that the Government intends to introduce income tax proâ€" posals to the present Parliament. Canada was in the war, and proposâ€" 24 to stay in the war, said Mr. Graâ€" nam, until victory rested with the alâ€" lies, There was no desire or no thought of Canada shirking from what was before us, Canada was prepared to make any sacrifice it was necessary to make to complete the war in a proâ€" per manner. ~All measures for â€" the winning of the war it was their duty as a Parliament to support. If the Canadian House carried the extension resolution by a mere majorâ€" ity the controversy would not end. It would be carried beyond the ocean and taken up in Britain, a condition not to be contemplated for a moment The matter must be determined in the Canâ€" adian Partiament by a unanimous or practically unanimous vote. â€" ‘ Wealth Conscription First. In an earnest speech, Hon. George P. Graham urged thut consideration of the resolution be deferred until the Government brings before Parliament measures providing that those beet‘ able to pay be asked to contribute their 1 full share to the cost of the war, and for organization of the resources . of the country so as to insure the greatâ€" est possible assistance to the Empire, and to reduce the cost of living to the Canadian people. [ if Opposed, Will Withdraw it. He had carefully cousidered where his duty lay, and had come to the deâ€" fnite, and he believed wise, conclusion that if the resolution met with _ any considerable opposition in the House he would feel it his duty to withdraw Canada in War Till Victory. things He had his party government as a party measure bringing conscription, and then he appealed to the leader of the opposition to help him out. If the premigr had come to him before anâ€" nouncing this policy Sir Wilfrid would have entreated bim with all the energy he could command not to embark upâ€" on this policy. The object of a coalâ€" ition was to promote national unity, but national unity had beeif serionely compromised by the conduct of the prime minister, : "f do not say that to reproach hin," said Sir Wilfrid smiling, "for 1 know how to win elections myselfâ€"(ap plause)â€"but 1 win them by appealing to the intelligence of the people and not.by machine manipulation." (Re newed applause.) Biames Borden‘s Tactics. Sir Wilfrid said the prime minister expressed a desire for oalition, but he went about it in the wrong way. had sent the ballot boxes overseas to poll the soldier vote when it thought the people were demanding in thunder tores an election. They had sent with theâ€"baliots and the ballot boxes Major Daly: disciple of the minister of pubâ€" lic works, who boasted he knew how to win elections. The Premier had suggested that in the position whict he (Sir Wilfrid\ oc cupie® in Par®iiment his +««; onsthility was equal to th«‘ of Cabl:.c* Minister He felt just as strongly his position now as thern, and he could assure the Poime Ministâ€"r taat ie had no inten tm of shirl‘ +4 that rosponsibility, iqecd he was prepared to accept that responsibility to the fu‘l. (Applause.) . Elections in 1915. The government toâ€"day professed great horror of warâ€"time election, but it had been ready whenever the chanâ€" ces looked good to bring on a warâ€" time election. In 1915 the government a national or union Government at ‘the present time is not possible. _ Responsibility Put on Sir Wilfrid. Sir Wilfrid rose, amid loud cheering from the Lib&@&I _ members. "The Prime Minister, in introducing this reâ€" solution to extend the life of this Par liament _ for another year, male a strong appeal to me," said the Liveral Chieftain in opening. "In iact he virtually laid on niv shoulders the reâ€" «ponsibility for the resolution, as he hinted that if ii were not to carry by a unanimots ‘or practically unanimous rore he would rot feel warantea in giving it effect." ‘ kind of Governmentâ€"1 care not what you call itâ€"of the best brains of Can adamen chosen not from one party or the other, but chosen purely in the interests of Canada and warâ€"winning without regard to party, I would be its sincere supporter. 1 advocated that course.
