Pcarkcs V.C., Member of Parliament for Nanatmo, charged, before an audience of 150 In the Civic Centre last night that the federal government Is maintaining an "army" of civil servants and bureaucrats in order to sustain its wartime controls In post-war Canada. The first World War V.C. winner and former First Canadian Division commander in World war II named the scrutiny or public cypenditurcs as one of the prime duties ol an opposition member of Parliament and hit out at the "extravagant failure of the government to Twliicc its wartime roster of civil servants which still numbers 150,000. "With no reduction since the end of the war; these 150,000 rivll servants of the federal gov ernment create an expenditure nf $210,000,000 a year." General Pcarkcs asserted. "We were pre- ii.i red to sav that during the war such an army oi crvu servants. mot nrecssarv but feel that there should be some reduction since the end of the war. When the budget was brought down last summer, hc said, It provided for more civil servants In the naval service than there were naval personnel, he declared.
