RARSTEDT FLESHERTON The con6titutionaI issue is pure politicsil buncombe, designed to divert a^ttention from the King Government's administration of the Customs Department, upon which issue it w<^s i^nominiously defeated in the House of Commons. Here are the vital stubborn facts: I In September, 1925, Mr. Kin.g: was granted dissolution by His Exoellency Lord Byng, on the representation that he must be given a chance to securo a clear working majority. Ke .i^t^ted at RichmotKl Hill th?.t if such a majority was not forthcoming, he would not attempt to carry on. O In the old Parliament thus dissolved there had been 234 members, of whom 1.T7 v/ere Liberals, 66 v/ere Progressives or Independents and 51 were Con- servatives. Q In the new Parliament, elected in Oetobsr, 1925, Mr, Meighen had by far the largest group â€" almost half the total membership of the House. Out of 245 seats the Conservatives had 116, the Liberals 101, the Progressives 24, Labour 2, and Independents 2. 4 Instead of immediately resigning, as he should have done in view of the ground upon which he had been granted dissolution, Mr. King asked for and was granted leave to carry on, on the assurance that he would leave the fate of his administration to Parliament itself. K On Friday, June 25th, three separate motions by so- calledundependents, in support of which Mr. King's Government marshalled its last ounce of strength, were decisively defeated and the original motion of censure, to which the foregoing had been moved in amendment, was still awaiting decision in Parliament ^ when Mr. King asked Flis Excellency for dissolution on Monday, June 28th. ^ To have granted Mr. King a dissolution under such circumstances would have been a direct denial of the right of Parliament to pass iipon the vote of censure then pending. y Following Mr. King's resignation, Parliament by a majority of 10 did actually adopt a direct vote of censure on' the King Government, and declared it unworthy of confidence or office. 8 10 11 It was Mr. King's refusal to follow British precedent in co-cperating with the incoming administration to pass supplies and complete the sessional programme that left Mr. Meighen no alternative but to ask for dissolution. Mr. I/Ieitrhen followed the same course as that adopted by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1911, when he saw that it was impossible to carry on and abruptly dissolved Parliament- If His Excellency had recalled Mr. King to office, he would have done so in the very face of Parliament's vote of censure. Under Mr. King's interpretation of the constitution a Premier need never resign, but could demand dis- solution after dissolution, despite the verdict of Parliament or the electorate, and the GovemQr General must perforce accept his advice. This is the story. It calls for no comment â€" it speaks for itself ! The Conservative Party stands solid as a rock for sound British constitutional practice, the maintenance of the British connection, and the right of Canada to enjoy the blessings of stable Government. ^^^^ "^ .# ^K 4 k • « ' t ' ;i: 1 « â- A y ^-> â- W T ^\ rjn r^ for R.
