1. Has the government received a recommendation from the municipal council of the city of Lachine in favour of the organization of a volunteer defence unit in that city?

2. If so, what has been done in the matter?

Mr. MALLETTE:

I have not blamed anybody or made any complaints, but the fact is that anybody buying such a can of fish will see the English label and will think it is a Canadian product. It may be said that it is Canadian goods packed in Japan, and so it is -but that is just the point.

Mr. MALLETTE:

I have been supplied with a can of fish, marked "packed in Japan." The label bears the name "Birks Crawford Limited, Vancouver." I send this to the minister for his attention.

Mr. VITAL MALLETTE (Jacques-Cartier):

I have received a communication from the Reverend Albert Hinton, pastor of the Lilly Memorial Church, which is the United, Church at Pointe Claire, and also of the United Church of Canada, at Beaurepaire, both in the

county of Jacques-Cartier, province of Quebec, enclosing a petition praying that the government put into effect an embargo against the shipment of war materials to Japan. I desire to lay this petition before the house.

Mr. MALLETTE:

How many flying clubs, per province, are actually recognized by the government in the granting of subsidies to help develop aviators?
