Especial interest As indicating How firmly the land interests in the House of and those of 9ther countries affected lords holds together in their support such countries was or was not justifiable that whenever a co scheduled a dispute arose As Curacy of the views of the b Erin Arians which had led to this sche he observed that owing to the latent nature of the Examina Tion at the port of entry of Large num Bers of cattle afforded unsatisfactory evidence As to their being immune from and that in consequence the British Farmers were constantly exposed to the danger of disease being this policy of cattle lord Strachler moved the second read entry was ing of a Bill to Amend the diseases of Auau As to the Aci animals by depriving the Curacy of the views of the boards vet ministry of agriculture of the discretionary authority Given him by that act to allow the Landing of animals at any port in the United and re Quiring that notice of the intention to import be published in the Edinburgh and Dublin and that orders of the ministry of agriculture be Laid before both houses of Parlia ment for their Sanction before the imported into their herds and orders come into he said and that accordingly the Imperial gov it was the opinion of All agricultural Ern ment had decided As a matter of having for its object the Protection of such herds and to alter the Law and remove the discretionary Power vested in the and by act of parliament prohibit hence the passage of the act of 1896 which repealed the discretionary Power vested in the and excluded for eign cattle from importation except for Slaughter at the port of Hanbury stated that his govern ment was satisfied that Canadian herds and Nocks were free from and i not secretly and but that the act of 1896 was not occasioned i openly through the medium of Parlia by any suspicion to the but was general legislation applicable to All lord Lee said the object of the Bill societies from the Boyal downwards that to save the flocks and herds of the country from the risk of disease the authority to permit importation should be transferred from the ministry to lord who supported the said livestock was the Backbone of and it was not too much to ask with Aview to preserve it from the risk of that authority Given by the ministry of agriculture to allow the importation of animals should be Given he concluded by saying inasmuch As it was practically impossible to determine satisfactorily by diagnosis whether at the Early stages cattle were or Wero not diseased his government was in the inter ests of the British prepared to take the Chance upon this Point by per mitting the entry of any cattle from outside and would not be pre pared to entertain a proposition looking to a repeal of the provisions of the act of in answer to a request that the time within which the cattle should be slaughtered might be say to thirty Hanbury stated that be had been informed that in very few cases had the full limit ten Days been and that an sex under the would be the views expressed by Han Bury As set Forth above to All in tents and similar to those which have prevailed Ever the Contention that disease actually existed among Canadian cattle which was responsible for the imposition of the embargo in 1892 was and in its place has been advanced an argument for uniform Protection present Day in the face of strenuous without distinction of it efforts to have it and an has been denied that the retention of agitation for its abolition which has june embargo is actuated by or not been confined to Canada political prior to 1896 the Board of Agri culture had Power to prevent the importation of livestock from those countries which could or would not satisfy them that their livestock was entirely free from contagious the act of removed this discretionary and its effect was to prohibit the in though it has been pretty obvious that the ear of the president of the Board of Agri culture has always been open to the was to substitute for the administrative discretion of the which had been conferred by the direct intervention of either most unusual and certainly one he was not prepared to for his he had taken a somewhat rigid and unbending attitude to the importation of cattle in any conditions that might possibly be a menace to the live Stock of the he had been attacked for so and was now under the concentrated fire of a widely read yet the Bill expressed a Complete Lack of Confidence in his discretion in the use of vested in him by in the circumstances he thought that Savoured unduly of the Noble lord who moved the second Reading was afraid of a Shadow of his own the conditions under which any animal could be except for zoological most the Noble lord probably had in his mine the permission which he lord Lee had Given some time ago for the importation of a limited number of fris Ian but in this Case so stringent were regulations that there had not been any he Felt As strongly As the Noble lord did the Vita importance of doing nothing that could possibly endanger our flocks and herds the Bill implied a Lack of Confidence in his ability to exercise the Powers vested in him by act of and in effect we do not Trust and the Powers Given you by parliament should be taken he was not prepared to accept the the marquess of Crewe regretted that the minister should have regarded this As a purely departmental and per representations of the Irish cattle Sonal and that the Noble lord against whose stockers Sonra put Elfi the Canadian store cattle offered Stron discouraging replies year by year representation after try of live cattle from any country i representation from the Canadian whats Oev whatsoever excepting for immediate government was addressed to in fact the Only countries Home in 1903 p permitted to land cattle at All were the United and and one of the chief contentions on the part of the British authorities throughout has been that Canada complain of being discriminated steady protest from the Day of the imposition of the embargo until today scarce a ear has passed during which official protest has not passed Over the cables from Canada to great

was Labouring under a grave misapprehension of the state of Canada feelings and on the subject that the Canadian people were alive to the serious loss waste inflicted on the cattle producers and shippers of the Domin Long As lord Lee remained minister of agriculture it he was convinced be his desire to Fence imports with the same close restrictions As existed but successor might not practise the same necessary degree of if lord Strachin went to a division he should support the House and the Bill was read a Sevorid time by 37 votes against the luxury tax of the luxury tax it might be
