The dominating figure of the Prime Minister stands out clearly. Able and sincere as he undoubtedly is, he has this session done much to take from if saleable at the market quotation would at one time have beeen worth $17,000,000 and at to-day's quotation of (4 per shade would be worth 14,000,. 000. This cash profit was paid out of moneys borrowed by the Beauhar nois Power Corporatioin, Limited, by p sale of bonds." Mackenzie King's speech on the Beauharnois power project was weak in the extreme. It was extremely lengthy; for hours he labored to show that the government of which he was the head passed the Order-in-Council giving Beauharnois 40,000 cubic feet per second of the St. Lawrence water, in all good faith. Nobody for a moment thought otherwise. Even opposition newspapers and the oppos- ition party did not believe he knew at the time the Privy Council order through their supposed political value, then as a former school teacher and as a woman I would ask: What are we going to teach the children of Can- ada? the boys and girls in our PuWc| C aiedon"I!^.'."."."^.".'..

Just what the new bill means is not clear It is only fair to say, however, that the Prime Minister has moved rapidly forward in the way that seems to him to be best. Another disquieting thin',' was the he did -show deep sorrow over the treatment accorded him by Senator Mc-Dougald and that he deeply rfc gret'ed the whole affair no one could doubt who heard him.
