Mr. GORDON GRAYDON (Peel):

Before the orders of the day are proceeded with I should like to direct a question to the Prime Minister in his capacity as Secretary of State for External Affairs. In view of the fact that we have a Canadian observer at the meeting of the security council in New York, I should be very glad, and I think the house would be pleased as well, if the Prime Minister could impart to us such information as may be proper from the report of that observer covering the present situation, which appears so grave, at the New York conclave.

Hon. C. D. HOWE (Minister of Reconstruction) :

War Assets are now dealing with the property in question. It will take some time before arrangements can be made to place the services under civilian ownership or to operate them under civilian control. Until then, it will not be possible to throw the facilities open to public use. The services are not willing to open the service to the public, and as long as they are operating the facilities, nothing can be done.
