Mr. MULOCK:

Subject to the usual

reservation respecting the reports of officials, I am* satisfied to have this motion pass.

Mr. GORDON GRAYDON (Leader of the Opposition):

Mr. Speaker, I should like to

ask a question of1 the Minister of Munitions and Supply. Perhaps in view of the fact that I have not given him notice he might treat the question as notice. I have had some correspondence from people operating small farms, and from market gardeners, who indicate that in their applications for gasoline rationing this year those who are using their cars for delivery purposes and in connection with their businesses are apparently being treated as ordinary car owners. Would1 the minister consult with the oil controller and perhaps make some regulation which would relieve the situation so far as these people are concerned.

Hon. C. D. HOWE (Minister of Munitions and Supply):

I shall be glad to consult with

the oil controller, and inform, my hon. friend later.

Mr. G. H. CASTLEDEN (Yorkton):

Mr. Speaker, I wish to ask a question of the Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. MacKinnon). In view of the critical shortage of meats, feeds and dairy products, will the government take into consideration paying to western farmers adtvanees on the 400,000,000 bushels of wheat they have been forced to store on their farms, in order that they may not be compelled to sacrifice their herds?

Mr. SPEAKER:

That is a question which should be placed on the order paper.

Mr. CASTLEDEN:

I did place it on the

order paper, and I received an evasive answer.
