SAM HUGHES The Remarkable Position of ‘he Borden Minister of Mil‘tia— A Liberal Member’s View finn whieh eit QevirotT WalitCa Win ‘You could clip from $3 000 to $5,000,000 off the militia expenditure without decreasing the efficiency of the militia Of course, you cannot allow al! theee joy rides and trips; you cannot allow all these inspection trips through Europe, it is true you have to decrease some of the headquarters staff and the gold lace and gold fringe will have to be curtailed, but you can save the money if you want to.”—Mr. Hugh Guthrie, Liberal Member for South Wellington, Ontario, in the House of Commons on June ist, 1914, “So long as I am Minister of Militia, the private car is going to remain; as far as I am con- cerned, I am going to travel in a private car up and down this country. .... Whether it is mili- tia business or the grand lodge, I propose to travel in a private car, There is no gold lace going to be cut off—not a particle of it, ..... I purpose extending these drill halls throughout the length and breadth of the country. If I had my proper allowance (of the country’s revenue) for expendi- ture on the militia, [ would have $17,000,000." This is Colonel Hughes’ reply and the Borden Government applauded him for it, Already Colonel Hughes has practically doubled the expendi ture for military purposes since he took office, He bas surround- ed himself with gold lace, fuss and feathers, He'has spent mil- lions on unnecessary drill halls, He has cost the country thous- ands on thousands more of dol- lars by travelling through Europe with an automobile brigade ot of- ficers on a junketting trip and by private car trips in Canada almost without number, Now he declares emphatically that none of the gold lace is to be eut off, that the expenditure on unnecessary military buildings is to be con- tinued; that he should spend an. nually not $7,000,000, as was spent by the Liberals in their last year of power, and not the $14,- 000,000 or $15,000,000 which he proposes to use this year for mil- itary purposes, but no less in a single year than $17,000,000, or almost double the amount which the Government proposes to spend for agriculture in the next ten years!
