March 5, 1930
Mr. FOSTER:
For a copy of all letters, telegrams or other documents, received by the Minister of Labour, or the Minister of Immigration and Colonization, in connection with the request of the Canadian International Paper Company for the admission of one or more lumber scalers from the United States into the province of New Brunswick.

Mr. FOSTER:
Yes, a good post office organizer. I know he helped me to get rural mail routes in many places where we were never able to get them before.

Mr. FOSTER:
I do not think I can be accused of taking up -much of the time of the house; but knowing Mr. Griffith as I do and knowing a great deal about his family and all his connections, I cannot let this pass without my voice being -heard. I have known this man Griffith sinoe he was a boy, and I know his parents and his whole family. No more upright and honest people live in New Brunswick than the Griffith family. An hon. member said that he would like to know a little more about District Superintendent Woods. I have known Mr. Woods too, all my life. I know nothing against him except that when he was appointed inspector he was appointed not because of his qualifications but because he was a political organizer of the Conservative party. As a reward he was appointed post office inspector. He was a good organizer. I do not think I am going too far when I say that he is still a pretty good organizer. That is where the trouble has arisen in the Post Office Department. As regards Mr. Griffith, I should like to know if any hon. member on that side of the house would be prepared to go out in the street
Supply-Post Office
and make the statement that Griffith is a thief, an emblezzler? When -one comes to consider the matter, that is not a fair remark for any hon. member to make. I have travelled through the country with Griffith looking after mail routes, and I know him to be a gentleman and an honest man.

Mr. FOSTER:
I come from a district that grows potatoes, and I can assure you that the people there are clamouring for inspection. In my own town both shippers and growers are demanding it. I believe it is a good thing. As it is now, one buyer wishes to have inspection, while another takes the attitude that he can get by without it, and the result is that he is likely to ship inferior produce.
May 21, 1928
Mr. FOSTER:
Would the hon. member
please tell us whether this Clark family were Liberals or Conservatives?
