Mr. STANLEY KNOWLES (Winnipeg North Centre) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 21, to amend the Aeronautics Act. He said: Mr. Speaker, the purpose of this bill is to reword section 14 of the Aeronautics Act so as to give effect to the intent of parliament at the time the section was enacted. This is the section that was supposed to provide for the separation of air lines from ownership by railway companies within one year after V-E day. The section as it stands says that this is to take place within one year after the termination of the war in Europe as fixed by order in council. The delay in proclaiming the end of the war has made the effective date of this section an indefinitely movable feast. This bill settles the matter by inserting a definite date for section 14 to come into effect, namely, December 31, 1947. Motion agreed to and bill read the first time.

On the orders of the day: Right Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Secretary of State for External Affairs): Mr. Speaker, I should like to supplement the information I gave the house on Wednesday in answering a question of the hon. member for Rosthern (Mr. Tucker) about displaced persons in Salzburg camp, Austria. The government has communicated with the director general of UNRRA who has supplied the following information concerning this matter: No information is available at UNRRA headquarters, Washington, to identify the 3,500 Ukrainians in question. UNRRA, Washington, have therefore undertaken to cable this complaint to their headquarters in London, where they should be able to get the further necessary details. The following is the additional information I wished to give. The Salzburg area is under the control of the United States military authorities, who have the final responsibility for the screening of all displaced persons. It is the United States military who have the entire responsibility for screening collaborators. UNRRA screening is done only to determine the eligibility of the individual for entry into the camp under the terms of the UNRRA resolutions. Officials of the Soviet Union are not members of either of these screening groups. This information, I think, will be of interest to those who were so much disturbed about the matter, because they were under the impression that these screening groups were controlled by Soviet officials.

On the orders of the day:
