Mr. WOODSWORTH:

Before the Easter recess the minister said he would be able to give us some statistics with regard to the value of the time lost on account of unemployment. There are statistics with regard to the amount lost through strikes and that kind of thing, and I think the minister said he could get us information from the point of view of unemployment.

Mr. MURDOCK:

That was held in abeyance under vote No. 263. I am anxious to go on with the discussion on that vote when hon. gentlemen on the other side are ready to proceed with it. In the meantime, however, we are dealing with another matter.

Before this item carries I would like to have some definite assurance from the minister that the list which I hold in my hand is not the list upon which the opinions of the department with regard to the cost of living are based.

ADJOURNMENT-ADDRESS OF LORD ROBERT CECIL

Mr. MACKENZIE KING moved the adjournment of the House. He said: It had been the hope of the government and of hon. members generally that there might be an opportunity to hear Lord Robert Cecil during his stay in Ottawa, possibly in the Railway committee room of the House of Commons. We have learned, however, that that will not be possible, and tonight will be the only opportunity that members of the House will have to hear his address on the League of Nations. Under the circumstances the suggestion has come from a number of sources that it might be advisable to ad- Imperial Conference

joum the House this evening so as to afford hon. members the privilege of hearing Lord Robert at the Collegiate Institute. I have spoken with my right hon. friend the leader of the Opposition and I think he shares with me the view that the circumstances would warrant the adjournment of the House for that purpose. Motion agreed to and the House adjourned at 6.10 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, 1923
