KDITORIAL COMMENT 701 



should be in a position to make representations alike to the Dominion 

 and Provincial Governments, as well as to carry on other work which 

 would not logically pertain to any administrative department. 



It was accordingly urged that it would be in the interest of the 

 country to continue the Commission, with whatever revisions of policy 

 might be considered necessary to obviate undesirable overlapping or 

 duplication of the work of the regular departments. These arguments 

 were, however, unavailing, and the result is now a matter of history. 



It will be observed that, in carrying out the duties laid upon it, as 

 outlined above, the Commission was, in the very nature of the case, 

 obligated to enter upon investigations which, to a greater or less 

 extent, must necessarily cover matters actually or potentially within 

 the jurisdiction of some of the administrative departments of the Gov- 

 ernment, particularly the Interior and Agriculture Departments.^
