A great cloud of witnesses has been examined by the committee and as the majority report will probably make that cloud denser by plausible verbiage the people look to the minority report the naked facts. Those are afraid of losing the footprints of the of shoes involved will do well to will for who on account great number keep their eyes on the minority report, It will lead them safely through the tangled web. Among other things the mi- nority report will probably point out that the manufacturers were to blame. Specifica- tions no specifications they knew for what purpose the shoes were being made and if they could not make a good shoe for a pa- triotie purpose and $3.85 in real money it was up to them to agree on a price that would provide a suitable article and yield a fair profit. A corollary of this prop- osition is that the Militia Depart- ment was not tied to the $3.85 limit and that it should have seen to it that there were proper speci- fications and that the = shoes came up to the specifications even if more money had to be paid. Canada was not niggling about the price of soldiers’ shoes. What this country expected was that her sons would go into battle well that whatever they ran from bullets, they would be in no danger from wet feet and The Militia Department can divide the on percentage it pleases with the manufacturers, but the fact that both failed in their duty. Rotten relative term as applied to shoes, What is a good shoe for dancing is a rotten shoe for work in the trenches, but neither the Militia Department nor the shoe manufacturers seem to have grasped the point. What makes their conduct stranger is that the manufacturers went on making and the Militia Depart- ment went on buying the rotten long after both knew the shoes were utterly unfitted for the purpose for which they were in- tended. For that matter, rotten shoes are being made and bought right now, the last output being quite as bad as the first. Nobody has the courage to say stop.

The minority report cannot faii to draw attention to the fact that lived up to all the specifications. Some not a single manufacturer manufacturers lived up to some of the specifications, others lived up to others, and some lived up to none. One and all had to beat the For ex- ample, not one manufacturer kept faith in the matter of heels. The heels were supposed to be rein- game somewhere. forced with steel slugs to keep them from wearing; soft metal was used instead, the idea of these benefactors probably being to make two pairs of shoes grow where only one grew before and so land another order. The speci- fications called for dubbing or oil dressing to keep the water out but only one manufacturer took the trouble to put the dressing in. In many cases the leather was bad, poor parts of the hide being used, braced steel or wood shanks were substituted for solid leather, the soles were not thick enough, Also the shapes were unsuitable, the shoes being too and the heels counters eramped, with the result that every time the soldiers marched out they raised a fine crop of blisters. Generally speaking, the stitching was bad. Some of these shoes fell apart in five days, others wore out be- fore the men reached Valcartier, some survived the sea voyage, the Atlantic ocean not being a favorable spot for walking, and some went to pieces on Salisbury Plain. Not one pair of them ever got as far as the firing line. Their extreme life without cobbling was six weeks. With cobbling they might go two weeks longer, but the chances were against them.

They have noth- ing to lose by telling the truth and they have invariably testified that the shoes were bad. Sometimes they have put it stronger than that. The defence urges that these men are not shoe experts, but that is begging the question. In a manner of speaking, every man buys shoes and knows by ex- perience how long a pair ought to last. These disinterested witnesses are in marked contrast to the shoe inspectors appointed by this gov- ernment. The minority report will hardly leave the subject with- out paying its respects the shoe inspectors. In most cases (Continued on Page 4) to Use and Storage.
