EMERGENCY FOOD

Deputy Minister Admits That it Was not Equal to Emergency.

WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR

House of Commons Committee Drawa Out Facts From Mr. Pinaud in Regard to the Concentrated Food—It Was Condemned on Analysis, but Bought Just the Same.

Ry Associated Press.

Ottawa, June 19.—The house committee to inquire into charges of fraud, alleged in connection with the emergency rations for Canadian troops in South Africa, commenced proceedings this morning. The com- mitteis composed of Messrs. Russell, Frazer (D. C.), Campbell and Brit- ton forthe government, and D> F. Monk, T. Chase, Casgrain and E. F, Clark for the opposition. A large number of witnesses have been sum- moned from Montreal.

The principal witness this morn- was Lieutenant - Colonel Pinault, deputy minister of militia, who was examined by Mr. Monk. Colonel Pinault deposed that he gave a sample of the food to the inland revenue department to compare with the food supplied on other occasions, The result of analysts showed the sample was deficient in fat, but as good as regards proteid. The analyst, however, did not think the stuff was entitled to rank as a concentrated food, or that it was equal in food value to $2 per ounce,

Pinault also said the food sup- plied by Dr. Devlin was recom- mended by Dr. Neilson, director general of the medical staff. He further deposed that Devlin did not receive a cent until February 4; that the delivery of-goods was made January 24, which disproves the Opposition charges that payment was made before the goods were delivered.
