Dear sir in your Issue of , no x vote avoided in flour Case say experts by Chester Bloot Ottawa nov. 9 special students of House rules believe no vote can now be taken on govern ment delay in tabling the Combine commissioner s report on alleged Price fixing by the flour milling Industry. Further discussion May ensue when estimates of the department at Justice Are voted or on Amend to the combines investigation act. Itself. But no vote can be taken directly affecting i he government delay in making Public the report. The government prevented this by it. Hon c. D. Howe making a statement when the House was in Supply of the flour milling report. Under the rules when the House is in Supply no amendment can be to the motion to go into uppity. The opposition was therefore prevented from demanding a vote on the flour Mill report and the subject having been debated in Supply cannot be voted on under another order of business. Discussion on amendments to the act however might be held strictly to the Point of the Amend curtailing debate on All features of die dispute Between the combines commissioner and the government.

That or. Garson sought to provide for exemption after prior approval of certain types of agree ments to restrict production or eliminate Price Competition. "4. Even after the Cabinet coun cil had declined to include or. Carson s proposed limitations on the commissioner s authority or. Mcgregor understood from or. Garson thai consideration of these limitations had been merely Post-1 Pond pending a proposed Over hauling of the act.
