July 2., 145. p.m.

In the debate on the Munitions Bill in the House of Commen, Sir H.

He said that the management of that department was national scandal, The Rt. Hon. Mr. Chapin and Mr. W. Crooks and others supported the speaker.

The Rt. Hon. Mr. Lloyd George replying, admitted that there had been a series of mist ikes in judgment, and the questions raised would have to be investigated and responsibilities fixed. He a sured the Ilones that the powers given him were adeqanie tɔ pre vent a recurrence of these mistakes...

Sir H. Dalziel thereupon withdrew the clause.

A report to the Central Board admitted that the jaile üre 'orowded and the reason is evident. The caly excuse for this shocking preotics is that the Province has no money.
