Mr. A. F. TOTZKE (Humboldt):

I would like to ask a question based on an article appearing in the Toronto Star of February 28, to the effect that western Conservative members of parliament have been told that an entirely new proposition has been made by the Serkau syndicate in connection with the proposed Russian barter deal. My question is: Has there been a new proposition, and if so will the Prime Minister make a statement in this regard?

Mr. BENNETT:

As far as I know it is

not true. All I can say is that the hon. gentleman and his friends know perhaps far better than I what is taking place in connection with Mr. Serkau.

Mr. JOHN VALLANCE (South Battle-ford) :

I wonder if I will have any better luck than the hon. member for Humboldt (Mr. Totzke). I notice that the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Weir) is not in his place. I would like to ask the acting Minister of Agriculture, whoever he is, whether the statement that appeared in the press yesterday that in a recent shipment of cattle from Canada to the United Kingdom only forty head of them were fit for the Birkenhead or London market?

Right Hon. R. B. BENNETT (Prime Minister) :

There is no acting Minister of Agriculture, owing to the fact that the minister's absence is not expected to be for any length of time; he is in the hospital in consequence of an infection of his eye. I have no knowledge of the matter to which the hon. gentleman refers, but so far as I know it has not been brought to the attention of the government.

I will see that any information available is furnished. Of course, when questions of this kind are asked without notice obviously they cannot be expected to be answered.

Mr. THOMAS REID (New Westminster):

I should like to direct a question to the Minister of Trade and Commerce (Mr. Stevens): Have any representations been

made to him by any dairymen's associations or other interests in British Columbia in connection with the increased sale of New Zealand butter at prices which it is claimed will be disastrous to the farmers of British Columbia? If so, what steps have been taken to protect the dairymen?
