Mr. M. J. COLDWELL (Rosetown-Biggar):

Mr. Speaker, may I direct a question to the Secretary of State for External Affairs? Will the minister tell the house what is the attitude of the government of Canada towards the proclamation of the new state of Israel?

Right Hon. L. S. ST. LAURENT (Secretary of State for External Affairs): Mr. Speaker, I would prefer to make no statement at this moment. The recognition of a new state is a matter of very serious consequence.

I should like to direct a question either to the Minister of Transport or to the Minister of National Defence. In view of the number of Japanese mines which are reported floating near the west coast of Vancouver island, what steps are being taken by these departments of government to search out these mines and remove the menace to navigation?

Mr. WILLIAM BRYCE (Selkirk):

I wish to direct a question to the Minister of Agriculture. In his absence perhaps the acting minister or his assistant will look after it. In view of the terrible flood conditions which are still taking place in Manitoba, can the minister say what help is being given through the Prairie

Mr. C. C. MILLER (Portage la Prairie):

May I direct a question to the Minister of National Defence? If I may have your indulgence, Mr. Speaker, and the indulgence of the house before putting the question, I should like to give some facts. The flood situation is extremely bad in the riding which I have the honour to represent. During the last week or ten days, farmers and citizens of Portage la Prairie have been striving to hold back the river by supporting the dikes and so on. It has been a night and day job. I should like to ask the minister if he realizes the very great assistance which has been given to the citizens and farmers by the officers and soldiers of the military district in that area in building up and guarding the dikes and affording relief to those who have been stranded by the waters.
