Fielding, former Minister of Finance, following a vigorous but futile protest against the clause in the bill which enables the directors of the Government railâ€" ways to spend millions of dollars without consulting Parliament. Mr. Fielding made out a strong case in his argument for Parliamentary conâ€" trol of the revenues and expenditures of the Stateowned roads. His amendâ€" ment, providing that receipts and exâ€" penditures of the great railway sysâ€" tem should be subject to the provisâ€" ions of the Consolidated Revenue and Audit Act, was defeated in a straight party division of 11 to 59, a Governâ€" ment majority of 51. Two amendâ€" ments were subsequently offered, one demanding the appointment of a reâ€" turned soldier as a representative on the board of directors, and the other favoring the isolation of the Intercoâ€" lonial Railway, but both were reâ€" jected. An amendment, moved by Ernest Lapointe, providing for the appointâ€" ment of two Labor men to the Board of Directors of the National Railways, was defeated by a Government maâ€" jority of 54. The only unusual feature was the defection of Mr. White of Victoria, Alberta, from the Opposition ranks, and he voted with the Government. The bill now goes to the Senate. For the first time since the outâ€"| break of war in 1914 the members burst forth into song when the rl‘lv!~| sion bells were ringing. The quaint French chanson "Alouctte" was mlnl heard in the House of Commons, reâ€" calling happy . memories. Ontario and Western members joined in the chorus, while the Frenchâ€"Canadian members _ rendered the numerous verses. The Englishspeaking memâ€" bers responded with "Pack all your troubles in your old kit bag," led: by Ald. W. A. Boys of South Simcoe, the Quebec men helping with the chorus and applauding heartily. For the time being party differences were forgotten. has been rushed through. Why Hon. Mr. Fielding‘s Protest. "Public ownership is not gotthr a fair chance under the provisions of this bill," said Mr. Fielding. "It commences with two handicaps. The first handicap under which the Naâ€" tlonal Railways start is the fact that the bill incorporating them has been jammed through Parliament by closâ€" ure. It was unwise of the Governâ€" ment to force the measure through the House by that method. It is a good thing to have the strength of a lion, but it is not always wise to use it. The circumstances attending the passage of this bill did not warrant application of the closure. The measâ€" ure was under consideration only three days when the gag was apâ€" plied. That was a short time to alâ€" low for the discussion of one of the most important bills of the seasion. We spent a month, less two days, in the discusston on the Speech from the Throwe. There aer bills on the order paper now that have been there for six weeks. There has bee no rush about passing these. Why should the Government be in such a hurry to ;" the Government Railways bill? e mo been discussing the imporâ€" tant subject of immigration in a very lefsurely manner. Indeed this way measure is the only one many people live in constant dread of heart trouble when the heart is in no way diseased. ‘There is perhaps no organ in the huâ€" man system which is worked so hard and yet the heart seldom goes wrong so long as it is supplied with plenty of rich, red In fact the heart repairs its own waste and plods on, lifting tons of blood each year and pumping it through the body. But the heart‘s action is the result of the contraction and expansion of muscles and these muscles are operated by the nervous system. _ When the blood gets thin and watery and the nervous system is starved the action of the heart, just like that of the stomach, bowels and other organs, is slowed down. As a result, you are easily tired out, experience shortness of breath, palpitaâ€" tion of the heart and general bodily weakâ€" ness."

This bill proposes to disâ€" regard the safeguard of Parliamenâ€" tary control of public finances. When we depart from that practice we cerâ€" tainly are taking a very dangerous step, and the Government is giving public ownership a black eye at the outset.
