Mr. STEWART (Edmonton):

I think my right hon. friend has been treated with a great deal more leniency than we were in former days.

Mr. NEILL:

I am afraid I cannot let that statement go without making some reply. My very first speech in the House of Commons was on that subject.

Mr. BENNETT:

I have no doubt about it; it is wonderful how much more moderate those manifestations became as the days passed, the strength of the administration became more apparent and the power of the hon. member as a voting factor became less. My hon. friend from West Edmonton (Mr. Stewart) can scarcely refrain from laughing heartily, because he knows the strength of the protestations-

Mr. NEILL:

Is this ward politics or a

statement on the national fuel policy?

Mr. BENNETT:

That is exactly the

remark one would expect-exactly. There we have evidence of it. Now it is "ward politics"; but when my hon. friend first came into the house he was talking about a national fuel policy.

May I say to my hon. friend that this is a national matter and will be treated as such. Wherever compensating adjustments become necessary this government will endeavour to apply them. The extent to which they may be applied depends upon factors I have frequently presented to the house and which I do not purpose to present again.

Mr. SANDERSON:

No, it will not carry

just yet. I should like to ask the Prime Minister if he can tell the number of tons of anthracite coal imported last year from the United States and the number imported from Great Britain?

Mr. SANDERSON:

I think those figures

could be obtained within the next day or two; I do not believe any hon. member would wish to wait two or three weeks for them. To my mind this is a very important item, which affects the province of Ontario to a greater degree than any other part of Canada. It simply means that this duty of 40 cents a ton is a duty-
