House of Assembly: Vol1 - TUESDAY APRIL 25 1911

TUESDAY, April 25 1911 Mr. SPEAKER took the chair and read prayers at 11 a.m. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Mr. SPEAKER:

I wish to state that in order to facilitate the business of the House, I authorised the Clerk this morning to deliver certain messages to the Senate while this House was not Slitting. The messages had already been approved by the House.

REPORTS LAID ON TABLE The MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS:

Public Works Department, 1910; Cape Public Works, 1st June, 1910, to 31st December, 1910.

Mr. SPEAKER:

The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE:

STAMP DUTIES AND FEES BILL.
SENATE’S AMENDMENTS
Mr. T. WATT (Dundee)

asked for the Speaker’s ruling on the point as to whether the Senate had any power to amend that Bill at all? The practice in the House of Commons was to accept amendments by the House of Lords, even in a Bill of that nature, if the amendments were simply mere verbal amendments or amendments bringing one clause into uniformity with another, and in such a case, so jealous was the House of Commons of its privileges that it inserted in its journal a special entry of the matter. But here we had a Constitution which provided quite clearly in section 60, sub-section 2, that the Senate might not amend any Bills so far as they imposed taxation, or appropriated revenues or moneys for the service of the Government. That Bill imposed taxation. The amendment made in another place did not increase the charges. They had a distinct and definite provision in their Constitution which debarred the other place from making even verbal amendments. He raised this point in order that they might know what the true position was in regard to money Bills. He should like the Speaker’s milling on the point.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said his hon. friend had pointed out that the section of the South Africa Act was section 60, but, to his (Mr. Hull’s) mind, it seemed that section 62 (sub-section 2) was conclusive. The section said that the Senate should not amend (Bills so far as they imposed taxation, but so far as those Bills did not impose taxation, it seemed to him that the inference was that they might amend them. With regard to the working provisions of the Bill—matters which did not affect the Bill, matters which did not impose taxation or appropriate revenue—it seemed to him that under section 62 the Senate were within their rights in making amendments.

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth, Central)

said he concurred entirely in the remarks made by the Minister of Finance.

Sir W. B. BERRY (Queenstown)

was also understood to concur in the view expressed by the Minister of (Finance.

Sir H. H. JUTA (Cape Town, Harbour)

said that he also agreed with the Minister. He thought the wording of the sub-section was quite clear. The wording, to this mind, meant that the Senate may not deal with that part of a Bill which imposed taxation or appropriated revenue, but it may deal with or amend any other part.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said that he wanted to raise another point, which the Speaker might answer at the same time as he replied to this.

SPEAKER’S RULING Mr. SPEAKER:

The question raised by the hon. member for Dundee (Mr. Watt) is of the utmost importance. It deals with the relations of the House of Assembly and the Honourable the Senate. I had already considered the question before the matter was raised. I am of opinion that the practice governing the relations that obtain between the House of Commons and the House of Lords in England has nothing to do with the point now raised. The Union Houses are bound entirely by the provisions of the South Africa Act. It is clear to me that the Senate has been acting within its rights in making the amendments now before the House. The amendments deal with the mere machinery of the Bill, and do not affect the imposition of taxation or the appropriation of revenue for the services of the Government.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said he wanted to know whether the taxation imposed by the Miners’ Phthisis Bill was in order. The rule

Mr. SPEAKER:

I think we must deal with one thing at a time. We are now dealing with stamp duties and fees. If the right hon. gentleman will raise it at another time, it could be considered.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

Yes, I am going to raise it immediately afterwards, because it is an important point of order, but you called upon me.

The amendments were agreed to.

DEFACING OF STAMPS

On clause 5, Time at which instruments shall be stamped and persons liable for stamping,

Mr. T. WATT (Dundee)

called attention to an amendment made by the Senate. In the Province of Natal, he said, it had been the practice to allow attorneys and notaries to prepare deeds and documents, and to stamp these documents. The Minister admitted that principle, but the other place had been induced to go back to the original clause. The result would be that in all country districts business would be hampered very much indeed, because documents were often sent to the country districts in order to be signed by the panties; they were sent back to the attorney who (had prepared them, and he had been in the habit of stamping and completing them. Now the documents would have to go back again. He hoped the Minister would not accept the amendment made by the Senate. Surely the attorney or notary who prepared a document was to be entrusted with the (stamping of that document?

Mr. C. P. ROBINSON (Durban, Umbilo)

supported Mr. Watt’s suggestion.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said he deliberately moved out the words in question in the other place, because although at first he accepted the recommendation made by the hon. member for Dundee to give the (power to an attorney, notary, or conveyancer to cancel and deface stamps upon documente, yet upon (further consideration he came to the conclusion that it would be a most dangerous provision to have in the law, because it would open the door to fraud enormously, He thought the hon. member could not have read the Act, or have altogether failed to understand the provisions of sub-section 9 of this section. The Civil Commissioners, Magistrates, or Clerks of the Court would be readily accessible to farmers, so that the hypothetical case of hardship put by Mr. Watt really could not arise. There was ample power given here to facilitate the cancellation of stamps.

Mr. B. K. LONG (Liesbeek)

said it was true that ample opportunities were given to deface the stamps, but the point was that the law required the person “liable” to pay duty to be actually present.

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

said that much hardship would be caused to farmers through being obliged to come into the towns to do this. He did not think attorneys would commit fraud in this matter. The risk was too great, for if discovered they would be struck off the roll.

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central)

thought the (word “liable” should be deleted and “authorised” substituted.

Mr. C. F. W. STRUBEN (Newlands)

suggested the insertion of the words “or the” so as to leave it optional as to whether the person liable or the attorney cancelled the stamps.

Mr. D. M. BROWN (Three Rivers)

agreed that the amendment was undesirable.

Mr. P. DUNCAN (Fordsburg)

thought the Minister was right. People did not rush suddenly into transactions requiring liquid instruments. They always had an opportunity to provide themselves with stamped paper. An attorney might not stamp a document because of the probability that the document would never come before a Court. In that way the State would lose a great deal of revenue.

The amendment of the Senate was agreed to

MINERS PHTHISIS BILL.
SPEAKER’S RULING.
Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said that he wanted to raise a question with regard to the Bill which had been passed on the previous day in all its stages in one day—he referred to the Miners’ Phthisis Bill. Under rule 1611 it was distinctly laid down as a rule of that House that all taxation should be initiated in Committee of Ways and Means. Well, that Bill initiated taxation, and they had never gone into Committee of Ways and Means, therefore rule 161 had not been observed. He merely pointed that out because on other occasions that House had been held up and delayed by the process of going into Committee of Ways and Means. Another matter ne would like to raise was the power to pass partial taxation. He thought when Parliament imposed taxation that it was uniform; that if they proposed to tax bald-headed men, for example, it should be imposed upon all bald-headed men. ((Laughter.) But here they imposed taxation upon certain mine-owners, and not on all mine-owners. That seemed to him to be contrary to the rules and canons of taxation, as observed by that Parliament.

Mr. SPEAKER:

The question raised by the right hon. member for Victoria West is raised at a highly inconvenient time. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

I dare say. It’s the only time we’ve got.

Mr. SPEAKER:

At a time when the Bill in question has already left this House and is in possession of the Honourable the Senate. The right hon. member will see on reference to clause 2 of the Bill as read a third time by this House that the contribution by the Government to the fund must be specially appropriated for the purpose by an Act of Parliament, and until so appropriated will net be at the disposal of the Board, while no portion of the money raised from the mine-owners will flow into the Consolidated Revenue. I may mention that as a matter of fact the £25,000 to be contributed to the fund has been duly appropriated for the purpose by the Annual Appropriation Bill. I rule, therefore, that the proceedings in question were in order

REPORT LAID ON TABLE The MINISTER OF FINANCE (for the Minister of Mines):

Geology of the country round Zeerust and Mafeking, including the Malmani Goldfields and the Lead and Zinc Deposits South of Zeerust, by A. L. Hall and W. A. Humphrey, with an introduction by H. Kynaston.

CONVENTION MINUTES. Sir J. P. FITZPATRICK (Pretoria East)

said that he wanted to draw the Prime Minister’s attention to a statement published in that morning’s paper with regard to the minutes of the Convention. It stated that the delay in the publication of the minutes was due to their having been sub-edited, and certain alterations and excisions having been made; and that they had had to be retyped entirely to cut out the objectional part. The statement was quite misleading; and it would be a pity if it were allowed to go into circulation. Of course, they knew that there was not the slightest foundation for it; and they wanted to give the Prime Minister an opportunity of clearing it up.

†The PRIME MINISTER

said that he only wanted to state that there was not a word of truth in the report in the newspapers. He very much regretted that that report had appeared; and it showed what harm might be done if the newspapers published incorrect information. The minutes had been in the possession of the Clerk of the House and had been under look and key. They would be published during the recess.

MINERS’ PHTHISIS BILL.
RULING WANTED
Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe):

Arising out of the ruling you have just given, Mr. Speaker, are we to understand that that portion of the fund which does not consist of the moneys appropriated by this Parliament, which is to be levied from the mine-owners, is that in order, or is it not? I want to know if the House can separate these moneys?

Mr. SPEAKER:

I think it is to be greatly regretted that hon. members do not give the Chair notice of these questions —hear, hear)—here is a Bill, which is entirely out of the House, and is now in the Senate; and raising this matter now is entirely out of order. No discussion is in order at this stage.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West)

said that in excuse for raising that matter now, he would like to say that that Bill had been hurried through the House— three stages in one day—and they had hardly had time to consider it before it was out of their possession, and it ought not to be out of the possession of the House, if the rules had been obeyed. His attention had only been drawn to that in the lobbies that morning, before coming into the House. He should certainly have come and spoken to the Speaker if he had had time.

Mr. SPEAKER:

I can inform the right hon. gentleman that the proceedings on the Bill are quite in order. At every stage the proceedings were taken unanimously— (bear, hear)—and if the right hon. member had cared to object he was fully entitled to object; but no objection was taken, and the Chair had no alternative but to leave the matter in the hands of the House. (Hear, hear.)

PENSIONS, GRANTS, AND GRATUTIES COMMITTEE.
IN COMMITTEE.

The House went into committee on the sixth report of the Select Committee.

The recommendations were agreed to.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

moved that the Chairman bring up the report forthwith.

The CHAIRMAN:

I will have to bring up the report to-morrow. (Cries of “Oh!”) I have no instruction to bring up the report forthwith.

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth. Central)

referred to the seventh notice of motion on the paper, in which leave was asked to bring up the report forthwith.

The resolutions were reported, and leave asked to bring up the report to-morrow.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

moved, as an unopposed motion, that the Chairman bring up the report immediately.

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

seconded.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

What is that, sir?

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

explained.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

Well, I object. (Cries of “Oh. Oh.”)

Mr. M. ALEXANDER (Cape Town. Castle)

referred to the seventh notice of motion.

Mr. SPEAKER:

Notice is given on the notice paper.

Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria West):

Well, I won’t object.

The report was thereupon considered and adopted.

RAILWAY REORGANISATION.
RETRENCHED OFFICERS
The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

moved, as an unopposed motion: That this House concurs in the recommendations contained in the schedule laid upon the table on the 13th instant, of officers and employees in the Railway Department who are on the fixed establishment, and whom it is proposed to retire in terms of section 35 of Act 32 of 1895 (Cape), owing to the amalgamation and consequent reorganisation of the staff.

Mr. B. K. LONG (Liesbeek)

asked on what principle were these men being retired? There was a great deal of dissatisfaction in the Service, because there was no fixed rule as to the allowance of servants.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

said that this was a matter which had given him a great deal of anxiety, because the laws were different in the different Provinces. In the Transvaal they had an Act which regulated the fixed amount of years to be added in case of retirement. The Cape law gave power to add a number of years not exceeding ten. A similar law existed in Natal. He proposed to add to the Cape and Natal men the same periods as were fixed by statute in the Transvaal. Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis) said that the House was being asked to do something of which it knew nothing.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

said that if the hon. member could not understand, it was not his fault. The motion was agreed to

RAILWAYS CONSTRUCTION BILL.
THIRD READING
Sir G. FARRAR (Georgetown)

moved to omit clause 2 of the second schedule as a protest against the way in which that large expenditure of money had been hurried through the House. The late Transvaal Parliament sanctioned the agreement with the Messina Company, and laid down, practically, what the route of the railway was to be to the mine. Now, in the last days of the session, the Union Parliament was given an entirely new agreement with the company, and an entirely new survey. The Minister considered the expenditure of £750,000 of so little importance that the report of the Railway Board on this line had not even been printed. Had the original route been followed, the line would develop highly mineralised country, which was the property of the Government. He hoped the Opposition side of the House would take no responsibility whatever in pledging the country to spend £750,000 on this railway without further inquiry. There was not sufficient evidence to show that the deviation in the direction of the line had been made as the result of proper inquiry, or was in the best interests of the country. Government had to accept the fullest responsibility for the alteration in the agreement, and for the deviation of the route. He believed Government had not acted in the best interests of the country in this matter, because they had a vast Government asset lying derelict, which it was hoped would have been developed, and would have found occupation for thousands of prospectors who were poor men, and whom he believed could have done well in that part of the country. Then the proposed line would simply develop Delagoa Bay, and not the Union ports, (Hear, hear.)

Mr. W. RUNCIMAN (South Peninsula)

seconded the amendment.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

said of course the Government took the responsibility—it could not avoid that if it wanted to. The late Transvaal Parliament did not decide on a route for the Messina line; the agreement ) said, “The line shall be constructed along a route to be agreed upon.” By the new route, he saved £250,000. He was told that a portion of the country which would be served by the new route was also minealalised.

Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe)

said that he desired to support the amendment. The Minister ‘had told them that the Government took the responsibility for this railway. Of course they did. But the only check upon the Government taking the responsibility for anything was the opportunity that House should have of discussing their proposals, and the only possibility of that House discussing these proposals intelligently and exercising its functions properly was that the House should be supplied with full information in plenty of time, with maps to show which way the railway was going. He thought on that, the last day of the session, it was felt by everyone in that House that the Government were endeavouring to use that House, not as a Parliament to discuss and criticise important proposals, but as an assembly to register and give formal legal sanction to the proposals which were brought for-ward. He thought it was also the feeling of many hon. members that this first session of the Union Parliament was not ending happily. There was a feeling that the Government had wasted an enormous amount of the time of the session by introducing proposals which It was impossible for them to carry through in their entirety. He thought also that the hope that the ensuing session of Parliament

Mr. SPEAKER (Interposing):

The hon. member must confine himself to clause 2 of the Bill.

Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe):

I will say what I have to say on another occasion. He added that he frankly admitted that he was not competent to form a final opinion on the matter of this railway, because they had not been supplied with proper information. Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis) said that he would have been able to understand the measure if the Minister had given him the necessary information, but, in the absence of that information, he and other members were unable intelligently to deal with this matter. He also pointed out that the report of the two Commissioners did not tally with certain items in the Bill.

Mr. SPEAKER:

The question before the House is the omission of clause 2.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Yon Brandis):

I thought it was the whole question.

The SPEAKER:

Oh, no.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

rose to reply to Mr. Nathan, whereupon

Mr. SPEAKER

intervened, and said that the Minister had already spoken.

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth, Central)

also complained of the dearth of detailed information in regard to the proposed lines, and endorsed the view taken by the hon. member for Fordsburg in reference to the agreement with the Messina Company.

Mr. SPEAKER

put the question, that the clause proposed to be omitted stand part of the Bill.

called for a division, which was taken, with the following result:

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central)

said he wished to raise a strong protest against the manner in which the Government’s railway proposals had been handled and brought before the House. He did not think he was saying too much when he said it amounted to a scandal. He thought an old Parliamentarian like the Minister of Railways (Mr. Sauer) should have acted differently, and not have treated the House with such disrespect and want of consideration. Here proposals were brought before the House—proposals involving an expenditure of two and a half millions—at the very end of the session. The House had been given two days in which to discuss them. Then there had been an utter lack of information with regard to these proposals. He (Mr. Jagger) had never known, in his experience of four Parliaments, proposals to be brought up in regard to which such scanty information was given to the House. They had only got the report of the Railway Board, which was small and meagre enough, in all conscience. He did not particularly blame the Railway Board for its being so meagre, because they had not had the time to draw up a full and adequate report. The Government apparently sent the Railway Board out on a tour at the end of February, and they had to report at the beginning of April. But what he blamed the Board for was that they did not refuse to bring up a report in the short time allowed them by the Government. The proper attitude for the Board to have taken up was to refuse to bring up a report without time being allowed for full consideration, and he did hope that the criticisms levelled against the Board’s report would induce them to take up that attitude in the future. Then, no figures had been placed before the House, except the figures given by the Minister in his second-reading speech. He contended that the Minister, having had those figures in his possession for some days previously, should have caused them to be printed and circulated among members, so that members would have been able to grasp them properly and analyse them. Instead of that, the Minister had kept them up his sleeve. The whole thing really amounted to a scandal. A further thing was that the Minister, before he got the Rill through, brought up a supplementary proposal. That was with regard to the extension of the Selati line to Messina, which involved an expenditure of £750,000. That was not in the original Bill, and it had been brought up without any report by the Board having been, printed and circulated among members. He was astonished at these things (being done by a Minister who had always professed a love for Parliamentary institutions and Parliamentary rights. It really amounted to bringing discredit upon Parliament. The Minister should have had his proposals ready weeks earlier, or he should have left them over until the next session. It was only natural that the public were disgusted with the method in which the business was conducted. He (Mr. Jagger) wanted the country to know where the blame for this lay, and that was upon the shoulders of the Ministry, and, above all, upon the shoulders of the Minister for Railways. (Opposition cheers.)

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

said that the attitude adopted by the Minister of Railways had always been adopted in the Cape Parliament. He instanced that in 1906 the Jameson Government, on the very last day of the session, at two o’clock in the morning forced their Railway Bills through the Cape House without any more information being placed before Parliament than the present House had. He was surprised that Mr. dagger, who had clamoured, with the Chamber of Commerce, for certain of these lines, and who was such a supporter of Cape lines of procedure, should now take up such an antagonistic attitude towards the Bill.

Sir G. FARRAR (Georgetown)

said that reference had been made to Cape lines of procedure. Well, he (Sir George) had heard the Minister say he would guarantee to get anything through that House, and he (Sir George) undertook to say that, if the Minister guaranteed to get a two-million proposal through on a blank sheet of paper, without conveying any information whatever to the House, from the way hon. members opposite had voted, he would get it through. It was said that these proposals were brought in on Cape lines. Well, if that were so he said that Cape lines were absolutely discreditable and a scandal. But he maintained that they were not on Cape lines, because the hon. member for Caledon (Mr. Krige) had brought him a book showing plans and every detail in connection with Cape proposals, and had told him that that was the way they do things in the Cape. Well, if that were the practice in the Cape, he (Sir George Farrar) was there to protect Cape lines of procedure. It was evident that if these were the Cape lines, the Minister had forgotten, all about them, for in regard to the Cape Colony railways included in these proposals, not a single plan had been produced to the House, and there was a complete absence of information. Now, let them take this Messina agreement. How many members knew even where Messina was? He thought there were very few. It all showed what a farce Parliament was coming to when an important agreement involving an expenditure of almost a million of money was swallowed without the slightest information. That, alt all events, did not represent Transvaal lines, for in the Transvaal they did not ask members to swallow a batch of proposals, because they contained a line which hon. members particularly wanted, but they examined the proposals from the point of view of the good of the whole community. (Opposition cheers.)

Mr. R. G. NICHOLSON (Waterberg)

said that everybody, knew the position in the Transvaal with regard to the Messina line, which was intended to develop the mineral wealth and the agricultural resources of that part of the country.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

reiterated his complaints about the inadequacy of the information placed before the House regarding these proposals. The Minister had not treated the House properly in this matter. The report laid before the House was not exact in certain particulars. It was no wonder the members of the House were fogged.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS

said that the hon. member for Von Brandis (Mr. Nathan) would have got all the information he had asked for if he had only read the Bill carefully. With regard to Sir George Farrar’s statement that he (Mr. Sauer) had guaranteed to get everything through the House, he had never said such a thing, and he would advise the hon. member not to pick up lobby gossip, and repeat it in the House. He (Mr. Sauer) repeated that he had never said such a thing. It would not be true, and, even if he thought so, he had always had a respect for Parliament, and always should, and nobody but a fool or a man who did not value Parliamentary institutions could make a statement of that kind. Now, with reference to what Mr. Jagger had said, he (Mr. Sauer) regretted that he was not able to lay all the information he would have liked before the House. He knew Parliament should have all the information that was necessary and obtainable able before they were asked to deal with such a matter. He did not want to shelter himself behind what had been done in the past, but he remembered very well when certain railway proposals were put before the Cape Parliament on the last day of the session, and then one of the protagonists of those proposals was the hon. member for Cape Town (Mr. Jagger). He (Mr. Sauer) did not offer that as an excuse.

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central):

You protested against it then.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS:

Yes: but the devil should not reprove sin. (Ministerial laughter.)

Mr. J. W. JAGGER (Cape Town, Central):

Two blacks don’t make one white.

The MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS:

Well, leave it to others to reprove. Continuing, he said he was only too anxious to place the fullest possible information before the House, and he assured his hon. friend that he would always try to do so. No one regretted more than he did that they should hurry legislation at the end of the session, but let him say he had never yet sat in a Parliament where that sort of thing did not take place at the end of a session. The hon. member for Georgetown (Sir G. Farrar) had criticised this Messina proposal. Well, the hon. member wanted to spend this money. His objection was not to spending the money; only he wanted to spend it on another route. His grievance was not that the money was being spent on the Messina line, but that the line was not taking the route he favoured. He believed that the proposals which the Government had put forward for railway construction this session were as good proposals, for the size of the scheme, as any he had ever submitted, and he thought it would be found that these proposals in the end would pay within a shorter period than any proposals which had been carried through hitherto, and that they would redound very much to the development of the resources of this country. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. E. NATHAN (Von Brandis)

said he wished to rise to a point of personal explanation. The Minister had said that he was out of the House when he (Mr. Sauer) replied. He desired to say that he was nothing of the kind.

Mr. SPEAKER:

That is not a personal explanation. It is a reply to the Minister’s statement.

The motion for the third reading was adopted, and the Bill read a third time.

Mr. C. F. W. STRUBEN (Newlands)

suggested that the Minister (Mr. Sauer) should consider, when the Bill reached another place, the question of amending clause 6. The clause gave the Minister power to take a railway across a street or road by means of a level crossing or a bridge; but it gave him no power to take the road under the railway by means of a subway.

RAILWAYS AND HARBOURS APPROPRIATION BILL.

Mr. Speaker’s action was confirmed.

ANATOMY BILL.
IN COMMITTEE

The clauses were severally considered and agreed to.

The Bill was reported without amendments.

The Bill was read a third time.

GUIDANCE OF AUDITORS The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved: “That the regulations framed under section 92 of the South Africa Act for the guidance of auditors of accounts in the Provinces of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal. Transval, and Orange Free State in the examination and audit of accounts of the Provinces laid on the table of the House on the 24th inst., be approved by this House.”

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

seconded.

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth. Central)

asked if the regulations were based on the Audit Bill?

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

replied that the regulations had been approved by the Treasury, and the Controller and Auditor-General, as well as by the Governor-General-in-Council.

Mr. T. ORR (Pietermaritzburg, North)

said he had gone over the regulations, and he thought the House could accept them.

The motion was agreed to.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE.
SEVENTH REPORT
The MINISTER OF FINANCE

moved that the report be adopted. Hon. members would see that the report contained some very valuable recommendations, and he would be glad if the House would approve them. The committee made an important recommendation with regard to the balances. Another important recommendation was to be found in paragraph 21. There the committee desired to emphasise the recommendation made in paragraph 6 of its first report that the resolution adopted by the Cape House of Assembly in the session of 1909 should be rescinded, and the Government authorised to take such steps as might be necessary for the gradual disposal of the balance of brandy still in hand.

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

seconded.

Dr. A. L. DE JAGER (Paarl)

said he would like the Minister to say what was meant by “the gradual disposal of brandy.” If the recommendation were adopted it would have a very disturbing effect upon the market and upon the producers of brandy. He thought the Government, should dispose of the brandy oversea. He understood the Government had received an offer from oversea, and it should be accepted, even if it meant a big sacrifice. Government should hold the brandy back until the House had settled the question of Excise for the whole of the Union. To put the brandy on the market would lead to no end of trouble, and would discourage the brandy farmers. The advances were originally made in order to save the farmers from utter ruin. The Board had been appointed for the very purpose of selling the brandy. It was of opinion that a sale should be effected outside South Africa. The industry had suffered a good deal. It was now beginning to get on its legs once more, but if a sudden sale took place, they would kill the industry.

The MINISTER OF FINANCE

said the hon. member seemed to be alarmed, but there was no intention—either on the part of the committee or the Government—to rush the brandy on the market. The existing state of affairs was far from satisfactory—(hear, hear)—and they could not continue to go on indefinitely with the resolution of the old Cape Parliament binding them. Something would have to be done to get rid of this brandy. Government would have to take into consideration all the circumstances for the time being, and if there was a good market the hon. member could not object to Government placing a reasonable quantity on the market. Government would watch events, and would consider the interests of the brandy producers. The hon. member need not be alarmed, but evidently he did not understand what was meant by “gradual.”

The motion was agreed to.

“ HANSARD” COMMITTEE The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR

said the committee had encountered unexpected difficulties in the course of its deliberations. The committee met shortly after the beginning of the session, end took fairly voluminous evidence, and hat with deliberations and the taking of evidence and adjournments from time to time, the committee came very near to the rose of the session without any final decision having been arrived at. The committee, in its report, said: “Your committee find that they are unable to conclude a contract for this service for a term of years upon such terms as they are able to recommend to the House, but, after procracted negotiations, Messrs. Van die Sandt de Villiers and Company, Limited, and the Cape Times, Limited, have submitted’ tenders for supplying a ‘Hansard for the present session based on their newspaper reports. The tenderers are prepared to ripply, say, 400 bound copies each for the sanate and House of Assembly of the debates and proceedings before Parliament in the form in which they appear in the Onces Land’ and ‘ Cape Times ’ newspapers, with slight amplification in certain respects, for the sum of £3,100, of which sum £1,600 is to be paid to Messrs. Van de Sandt de Villiers and Company. Limited, and £1,500 to the Cape Times, Limited, respectively to view of the impracticability of considering at this advanced stage of the ression the alternative method of employing an official staff for the remainder of the present session, your committee would recommend that these tenders, which they consider fair and reasonable, be accepted. Your committee find that the tenderers have incurred considerable expense in the expectation of eventually securing the contract for this service, and in view of the ret that in consequence of this extra expense by the tenderers a very much fuller report has appeared in the newspapers concerned than would otherwise have been the case, recommend that they be awarded the sum of £900, £500 of which to be paid to Messrs. Van de Sandt de Villiers and Company. Limited, and £400 to the Cape Times, Limited. Your committee are convinced of the desirability of preserving a reliable record of the debates and proceedings in Parliament, and of affording the public, if possible, through the medium of a ‘Hansard,’ the fullest information of what transpires in Parliament, and they would. Therefore, strongly urge that the Government be recrested during recess, and in consultation with Mr. President and Mr. Sneaker, to rake the necessary arrangements for the production of a ‘Hansard’ for both Houses of Parliament, if possible, by contracts with newspapers, but, failing that, by the employment of an official staff.” Proceeding, General Smuts said the importance of a newspaper “Hansard” was that by this means the debates of Parliament were communicated more widely all over South Africa. (Hear, hear.) If agreements were made with newspapers of wide circulation to secure the publication of the reports all ever South Africa, that would be to the benefit of South Africa—(hear, hear)—because the country was very large, and Parliament sat only in one corner of it. The official report in book form, however, would be read by those members of Parliament who continued to dig into ancient history, and by the historians of the future, who would try to probe the mysteries of Parliament. The committee conducted lengthy negotiations in order to secure a newspaper “Hansard,” but the difficulty it found was this: The committee was determined that the House and its officers should have control of the reports that were to appear in the newspapers. That was the agreement made in the Transvaal some years ago. The committee wished to secure the same privileges here, but the committee failed. The Cape Town newspapers were not willing to concede that point—to submit the length and correctness of their reports to the judgment of the House and its officers. It might be possible, if the negotiations were left to the Government, that a solution might be found, and that was why the committee—with great confidence in the Government—suggested that the matter should be left to the Government. In regard to the question of whether there ought to be a “Hansard” report, he might appear antiquated in his notions, but he had a hankering after some “Hansard” or other. (Hear, hear.) It seemed to him that if there was one assembly in the Union whose deliberations ought to be reported, it was the Parliament of South Africa. (Hear, hear.) These speeches, although they were not always very illuminating—(laughter)—well, perhaps he had expressed himself very bluntly and wrongly, Still there was no doubt that the deliberations of Parliament that took place there were of great historical importance. The House ought to consider very carefully whether they should have some record of their proceedings. If that were settled, the question remained of the sort of “Hansard.” Theoretically, the best form of “Hansard” would be, for them, an official “Hansard,” and he did not think am official “Hansard,” collected by the present officers of the House, was likely to be more expensive than, a newspaper “Hansard.” (Hear, hear.) There was no doubt, however, that an official “Hansard” would have this inconvenience, that it would be limited simply to those few people who studied speeches either for historical or political purposes. (Hear, hear.) Their contemporary public would know very little of what was going on, except from the reports which appeared in the newspapers from day to day. Therefore, if they could arrange with the papers, by a small subsidy, to be more impartial, by reporting the proceedings of Parliament more impartially, and spread these reports all over South Africa, he thought they would secure a much more important object. (Hear, hear). He thought the recommendation of the committee was just and fair. Very likely the Government would be more successful as negotiators than Parliament, and it was possible that they might be able to find a better arrangement, and successfully conclude am arrangement in the recess. He moved that the report be adopted.

Mr. G. J. W. DU TOIT (Middelburg)

seconded.

Mr. E. N. GROBLER (Edenburg)

said he was not quite prepared, without any hesitation, to vote for the adoption of the recommendations of the report. It was in material to him which paper got the con tract. He was even prepared to vote a considerable amount to provide for a good and reliable “Hansard.” It was an extra ordinary state of affairs that a body so significant as that House, the Legislative Assembly of the Union of South Africa, could sit there for five months, the better part of a year, and still be devoid of that inevitable requisite—a good and reliable “Hansard.” He was not going to say that there should be a verbatim “Hansard,” with all the sobbings and sighings—(laughter)—but they must have a “Hansard” re producing the purport of that speech. He was prepared to support the report, except that part recommending that a certain amount should be paid in a lump sum to the “Cape Times” for its report of this session. He was not going to vote for that—most decidedly not—for the simple reason that the report of the “Cape Times” was incomplete; it was not indiscriminate; it was one-sided. (Hear, hear.) He did not want to be unfair. He alluded to it more towards the beginning of the session, because he would admit that it had improved to a great extent towards the latter part of the session, (Cries of “Oh,” and Opposition cheers.) A long speech was made, and they saw the report in the paper almost verbatim, and if he might say so, even with a little bit of colour added to it. (Hear, hear.) The following member made an equally lengthy speech and just, as important, but, he took it, because that member happened to be Dutch, not a single word was said about it. (Hear, hear.) No remarks were made on his speech. It was a perverted version of what he said. He had learnt to imitate the principle that they should give nothing when they received no value. Every member of that House would bear him out when he said that they did not receive value for even a small sum. He would be in favour of giving the contract to the “Cape Times,” as well as any other paper, in future—(“No”) —but then they must stipulate, and make a contract and define what they wanted, and if the “Cape Times” or any other paper did not act up to it, they must be in a position to cancel that contract at once.

AN AMENDMENT Mr. H. W. SAMPSON (Commissioner-street)

moved the following rider: Subject to the deletion of the words “if possible” to the end of the paragraph, and the substitution of “by tender for corrected reports, £5,400, occurring in Appendix F, for the recommendations contained in paragraphs 3 and 5” of the report. He said that Parliament should place on record a fair report of its deliberations. He thought it would be a pity if they were prevented from having a record of some of the speeches and opinions of the hon. member for Victoria West (Mr. Merriman) in regard to the working-men of the Witwaters-rand, in the future. Proceeding, the hon. member referred to the tenders which had been submitted; and as to the recommendation of the committee to pay a certain sum to two of the newspapers, he said that he had no objection to paying that money, because the firms had been put to great expense in engaging larger staffs than were necessary for newspaper requirements; and they were under a moral obligation to pay that money. He wanted as full a “Hansard” as possible, or not at all; and he thought that as to the £3,100 tender, the money would be thrown into the sea; and no one could accept its word as a book of reference. As to the £5,400 tender, it would be a different matter, and hon. members, whether their speeches were in English or Dutch, would have reports sent to them, and would have an opportunity of making additions and corrections; and there would be an asterisk to show where they had been made. He had been opposed to accepting newspaper reports of their speeches as a basis for “Hansard.” As to a “Hansard” compiled by an official staff, he would estimate that it would cost, in the language in which the speeches had been made, that was, in one volume, with the Dutch and English speeches, a sum of £5,280, which was less than the original tender they had from the newspapers. To compile “Hansard” in two volumes in both languages would cost £7,600, and the extra cost was nearly all entailed by the translation and printing. As to the question of repetition, what he objected to was that it should rest with the gentlemen of the Press Gallery to decide what was repetition—who tried to be impartial at times, but who could not always forget that they worked for a party newspaper. He thought that to have a “Hansard” compiled by an official staff was the only safeguard that an independent member of the House had, and people outside would say that a volume would not be entitled “Hansard” unless it were official. The hon. member went on to say that as so few newspapers were in a position to submit tenders, there was a danger of a monopoly being created; and why they had been able now to obtain such reasonable prices was because they had been afraid that they were going to drop it altogether. In Natal they had pensioned off several officials who had formerly been employed in the Parliament of the Transvaal (?) in compiling “Hansard ”; these could be brought here, and formed into an official staff.

Mr. W. B. MADELEY (Springs)

seconded.

General T. SMUTS (Ermelo)

said that with regard to the “Cape Times,” there was absolutely no work done so far as the Dutch members were concerned. It had been said that the difficulties of reporting ought to be taken into consideration, and also that the reports had to be abridged. Well, so far as condensing the reports were concerned, he did not object, but he objected to the Dutch-speaking members in the House having a deliberate slur cast upon them. They had been simply ignored. Their speeches were not abridged; Put absolutely ignored. He did not want to say that that was done in a racial spirit, but the fact remained that the Dutch-speaking members had not been fairly dealt with by the “Gape Times.”

Mr. B. K. LONG (Liesbeek)

said that, in justice to the “Gape Times,” which had been attacked by hon. members opposite, exactly the same complaint could be made by the back bench members on his side of the House with regard to their treatment by other newspapers. (Ministerial cries of “No, no.”) He did not think that it could be said that the newspapers which supported either party in the House had done deliberately what had been complained of. He was afraid that some of the back benchers on both sides of the House were rather apt to over-estimate the value of their own speeches. He instanced the speeches delivered by the Right Hon. the Prime Minister and the leaders on the Opposition front bench, and asked if any injustice had been done to them. He asked the back benches not to think that there were any sinister motives underlying the brevity of the reports. The hon. member for Commissioner-street had suggested an official report, and that it should be sent to hon. members for correction. He could not imagine anything more (horrible than that. Such a thing would add to the terrors attaching to the position of a member of Parliament. He hoped the report would be adopted, and said he did not believe that any newspaper had gone out of its way to offend any section of the House. He knew some of the difficulties attending the reporting of the proceedings of the House, and he was personally certain, if the truth were known, there was no deliberate intention of that kind whatever. He hoped the House would not commit itself to an official report.

ANOTHER AMENDMENT Mr. J. X. MERRIMAN (Victoria. West)

moved an amendment to omit all the words after “to” down to the end of clause 6 of the report, for the purpose of inserting the following: “take the matter into consideration during the recess, and make recommendations to Parliament for the best mode of recording and disseminating the debates and proceedings of Parliament.” He thought that as the clause stood they were placing upon the Speaker, judging from the temper of the House, a very onerous responsibility. There were two things to consider. The first was with regard to having a record of the proceedings. That would be a very costly thing, and if anybody took the trouble to go into the library, and look at the fifteen volumes which represented the wit and wisdom of the Commonwealth Parliament, he would see that it opened up a horrible prospect for the future. Then there was the question of disseminating the proceedings of Parliament, which was far more important. He felt that not many of his constituents were likely to subscribe to an official “Hansard,” and he did not think very many of the constituents of other hon. members either would subscribe. It was surprising to find, however, how much the people in the country read the reports of hon. members’ speeches in Parliament. For instance, the hon. member for Cape Town (Mr. dagger) had got a reputation now in the backveld which was surprising. He was looked upon as the sole guardian of the public purse, and he could assure them that there was not a single little village in the backveld which did not look to Mr. dagger to look after the expenditure of this country. That was not owing to their having an official “Hansard, but to the dissemination through the press of what took place in the House, however imperfect the reports might be. He referred to the time when the British House of Commons deliberated without reporters, and said that that would be very convenient, but, he supposed, time brought wisdom, and he had learned that that had its inconveniences too. He had been connected with two assemblies lately which deliberated in secret. Reporters were not present, and no doubt very many eloquent speeches were made, but they were not reported. The one assembly was the National Convention, and in connection with that they had varied reports of what took place, and he thought it would have been convenient if a record had been kept and published afterwards. The other was the Conference which took place in London. Somehow or other information was given, and the most travestied reports were published with regard to himself and his hon. friend which totally misrepresented what took place. With regard to what had been said by some of ‘his hon. friends as to the inadequacy of the newspaper reports, they must remember that after all reporters were only human, though hon. members would hardly think so, sitting there night after night. He could not imagine a mere horrible punishment than to have to listen to the members’ speeches land take them down. Those poor fellows had to go away, and for every nour of hon. members’ sins down below there the reporters had to spend two hours in writing them out. (Hear, hear.) One could not imagine a more dreadful thing. (Laughter.) The complaints he had heard that day were not peculiar; he had been 42 years in Parliament, and those complaints were vary familiar to him. When he began his Parliamentary career he used to devote an immense deal of pains and trouble to what was called “getting up speeches.” And then he would proceed to enlighten the Legislature with the result of his labours. Next morning when he took up the newspaper —there was only one then—he would see, “Mr. Merriman spoke.” (Laughter.) That was some encouragement to some of his friends there. (Laughter.) He had now got to the other stage, when he almost wished they would not take so much notice of him. (Laughter.) Of course, the disadvantage of a newspaper “Hansard ”was that naturally reporters took what was most interesting to their readers. He had no reason to complain of the attention they paid to him, although sometimes when one ventured on a quotation one found it travestied in the report. He thought newspapers were rather too fond of what were called scenes in the House. These were always reproduced at enormous length and with extraordinary accuracy. (Laughter.) That, however, did not give much information to the backveld, which liked a good stodgy column of figures. But what the man in the street and the flippant fellows in St. George’s street like was a scene, and the unfortunate newspapers had to choose between the two. His own opinion, on the whole, rather leaned to the newspaper “Hansard ”—(hear, hear)—for that tended more to dissemination of their proceedings. An official “Hansard” would, no doubt, be extremely valuable to the historian—though he did not think many historians would consult it— but it would do no good to the people they wanted to educate. He could imagine Government naturally wishing to lean to he official “Hansard,” because then its proceedings would be buried. The Opposition and the ordinary Independent members naturally desired their doings and that of Parliament to be disseminated through the length and breadth of the Union, and therefore he would strongly recommend them to stick to the newspaper “Hansard.” On the whole, he must say that members were fairly well served. (Hear, hear.) Some of them complained, but let those who did that set to work and get a position in that House which would make the newspapers report them. (Hear, hear.)

Mr. P. G. KUHN (Prieska)

seconded.

Dr. C. H. HAGGAR (Roodepoort)

said it seemed to him if they accepted the amendment, they would find themselves next year in the same position that they were to-day. If they ware to have a “Hansard” report, they should have a verbatim report. The House had had some excellent reporting, for he found that some of the published speeches were very much better than the speeches as they were delivered in that House. (Laughter.) Of course the reporting had been partial, and no wise man would expect a newspaper to publish speeches of its enemies. He asked that they should have a good “Hansard,” an official “Hansard,” and an official staff.

TO PROTECT THE HOUSE The PRIME MINISTER

hoped that the motion would be agreed to, and the Select Committee’s report adopted. With reference to the reports of Dutch speeches in the English press he agreed with hon. members that they were often weak. He did not mind condensation, so long as it was properly done. It was not fair to distort speeches. They should rather leave them out altogether. He could tell the hon. member for Liesbeek that his (General Botha’s) speeches had not been reported adequately. He now realised that the Government should have made a contract when the session began, subject to confirmation by the House. They had been afraid of the booming of the big guns, however, and preferred leaving the matter to Parliament. They had now Sat for nearly six months, and the Select Committee on “Hansard” had been appointed in the first days of the session, yet they were only considering its report on the last day of the session. If they had adopted what Mr. Merriman had suggested, they would, he thought, only have a repetition of what had happened that session, or other matters would be dealt with first, and the report of the committee would be left over to the last. He thought that it was better to accept the report of the committee as it was laid before them. They must have a “Hansard,” not only for the sake of the public; it was for the protection of the House that they should have one. An hon. member might be accused of having said a certain thing, and there was nothing to show what he had actually said unless they had a “Hansard,” because the newspapers might report him as having said something which he had not exactly said—it might be to their interest to do so. He hoped that the report which was before them would be agreed to. The newspapers that had looked after “Hansard” during the present session had incurred a good deal of expense, and timely arrangements should be made so as to enable them to make better provision for the next session.

Sir E. H. WALTON (Port Elizabeth, Central)

said that he voted against the last clause of the report in the committee, because it seemed to him to commit the Government too far, if the report were adopted in its present form. It seemed to be an instruction from the House to the Government that they should either make an arrangement with a newspaper or employ an official staff if necessary. He sincerely hoped that, before the Government made any arrangement, they would come to that House to get their approval. Personally, he was in favour of the present system being maintained, because, although the form in which the report appeared was not very full, it was quite enough for the public. He would also urge that the Government, when they considered this question, should go into the matter of lowering the reporters’ gallery nearer to the level of the floor. He thought, if that were done, members might depend upon it that they would get very much more accurate reporting than they did now.

†Dr. A. M. NEETHLING (Beaufort West)

agreed with Sir Edgar Walton as to the height of the Press Gallery, and said that, although he thought he spoke pretty loud, he had received notes from the gallery that the reporters could not hear him—perhaps they would not hear him. (Laughter.) He understood that in Pretoria the official “Hansard” staff were on the floor of the House, where they could hear better what was being said. Be thought that many of the inaccuracies in the, reports of which hon. members on the cross-benches complained were due to mishearing.

AN OFFICIAL STAFF Mr. F. H. P. CRESWELL (Jeppe)

said he hoped that, with regard to the present session, there would be no publication go out to the world under the title of “Hansard.” (Hear, hear.) It was far too late now to make any corrections in the reports. The record was very incomplete so far as the proceedings of the session were concerned. With regard to the future, he must say he had heard no arguments used offering great force against their having their own official reports. The Minister of the Interior almost convinced one in the course of his speech by what he said in regard to the dissemination of the proceedings through the newspapers. But he would like to point out against that, that, after all, they were only making a contract with two newspapers. Those two newspapers really did not circulate through Africa, and the two questions of dissemination’ and getting an authentic record were distinct and separate. As to the complaints about partisan accounts going forth to the world from different newspapers, of course, they knew perfectly well that it was so, and he submitted that the fact of having an authentic record would act as a very great restraining influence upon any garbled versions of the proceedings which may go forth. He hoped the Government would decide upon an official “Hansard.” He did not think it was right to rely entirely upon two newspapers. He thought that all these two newspapers did at present would be done in the future, whether they had any official “Hansard” or not, and that, having an official “Hansard,” at all I events, the Independent members, who were not attached to any of; the parties, for whose benefit these newspapers were run, would be protected, and they would have fair treatment at all events in this respect, that they would have an authentic record to which they could go. Although he was strongly against any official “Hansard” for this session, he endorsed what had been said with regard to the moral obligation the Government had put the House under to those newspapers which had engaged special staffs.

Mr. H. E. S. FREMANTLE (Uitenhage)

said he hoped the Government would make quite sure that before making any of the newspapers official, the reports given in such papers were really impartial. He had no complaints to make regarding the reports so far as he was concerned, though he noticed the tendency to make much of any thing like a scene, and to report anything particularly foolish that a member said. (Laughter.) He thought, however, that on the whole the English-speaking members of the House had not much complaint to make. The hon. member spoke of the extreme difficulty of dealing with Dutch reporting, and emphasised that the Government should take special measures to see that that matter was attended to. He thought it should be left quite open to the Government either to make a contract with a newspaper or to employ an official staff, and with this object he moved the omission in paragraph 6 of all words after “Houses of Parliament” to the end of the report.

Mr. E. B. WATERMEYER (Clan william)

seconded.

Mr. T. L. SCHREINER (Tembuland)

favoured a newspaper “Hansard” as against an official “Hansard,” as being a better means of disseminating information throughout the country. As regarded the complaint of hon. members opposite concerning the inadequate reports of Dutch speeches in the English papers, he would point out that hon. members on that (the Opposition) side had the same complaint against the Dutch newspapers. That the reports of their speeches were often wrong, and sometimes wholly omitted. The tendency of the papers was to report more fully the speeches given in the language in which the particular papers were printed, and so the complaint was not only on one side. He spoke of the pressure of work on the reporters, and said that in the circumstances the reports did not in his opinion, deserve the disparagement that had been cast upon them.

Mr. E. B. WATERMEYER (Clanwilliam)

said they had a duty to the people of the country to see that they got accurate reports.

Mr. Sampson’s amendment was negatived.

Mr. Fremantle’s amendment was negatived.

Mr. Merriman’s amendment was negatived.

Mr. E. NATHAN (Yon Brandis)

moved a further amendment that at the end of the clause the following words be inserted, “for next session.”

Mr. H. W. SAMPSON (Commissioner-street)

seconded.

This was negatived.

The original motion was agreed to.

RAILWAYS CONSTRUCTION BILL.
SENATE’S AMENDMENT

The House concurred in an amendment in clause 6.

IMMIGRANTS’ RESTRICTION BILL.
BILL.
WITHDRAWN.
The MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR

said that before the Speaker left the chair he would like to say a few words. He was sorry that this Bill, which was one of the most important and one of the most valuable that had come before the House this session, would not be put on the Statute-book; but hon. members would see that, owing to so much time having been taken up with other very important and necessary legislation, it would not be possible for them to go on with the Bill, and the matter of immigration would have to stand over to be dealt with by legislation next year. When he introduced the second reading of this Bill he stated that the Government had two objects in view. The first was to secure uniformity in regard to the immigration laws of South Africa, and the second was to effect some settlement of the Indian question, which had been one of considerable anxiety and difficulty for some years past, and he laid on the table the correspondence which had passed between the British Government and the Union Government in reference to the possibility of an early solution of those difficulties. Although it was not possible to pass this Bill into law this session, and to carry into effect the solution which was practically agreed upon between the British Government and the Union Government, he was fairly hopeful, even apart from this legislation, of putting a stop to passive resistance for the following twelve months, and of securing some peace on this question in South Africa until Parliament had a chance of dealing with it next session. That being so, there was no immediate necessity to deal with the question, and it could very well stand over for mature consideration, and for more careful thought in South Africa generally. The subject was a very important one. It dealt not only with Indian immigration, but with all white immigration, and the delay in proceeding with the Bill would probably tend to facilitate its passage through Parliament, because more mature consideration would be given to it. He therefore moved that the order be discharged, and the Bill withdrawn.

Mr. C. J. KRIGE (Caledon)

seconded.

Mr. M. ALEXANDER (Cape Town, Castle)

said that the Government was to be congratulated on its decision. He was sure the Minister would be fair enough to acknowledge that there was a good deal in the criticism advanced on his (the speaker’s) side of the House, and he hoped the Government would give its earnest consideration to these criticisms. The motion was agreed to, and the Bill was withdrawn.

Mr. SCHREINER:

To ask the Minister of Agriculture: (1) Whether the attention of the Government has been drawn to reports in the Press alleging (a) unnecessary cruelty in the methods employed in the shooting of cattle in connection with East Coast Fever; and (b) that the carcases of the cattle so shot are allowed to lie unburied; (2) whether, if these reports are correct, the Government will take steps to prevent the continuance of these evils; and (3) whether the Government will take steps to provide for the skinning of animals slaughtered on account of East Coast fever and for the disinfection and sale of the hides?

Mr. FAWCUS:

To ask the Minister of Railways and Harbours whether the Government will consider the advisability of instituting a departmental inquiry into the possible existence of places on the railways where by reason of a sudden change of gradient occurring on a sharp curve, such places may constitute a danger to traffic, with a view to their improvement by such expedient as vertical curves and the provision of check rails?
