From the standpoint ot parliamentary experience, ability. as a debater Ind command of public confidence, Mr. F'ielding's name towers above all other: that have heen mentioned. For fifteen yeartr--trom 1896 to 19u---the right-hand man of Mr Wilfrid Laurier as Finance Minister and trainer of the "uriertielding taritt, and the British Preferential Tariff which were' comer dent with the ushering in or a period of prosperity unparralleled tn the history of Canada, he was closely associated with the late Liberal Loader. At a time. such as this. when the t1nanein1 problems incident to war and reconstruction work loom large upon the horizon, the selectlon of a man of Mr. Fielding's character and good judgment would seem'ot utmost importance, not only to the Liberal Party but to Canada as a whole, as the leader of ills Majesty‘s Loyal Opposition has an ottlcial status " a representative or the people as well as the leader ot the govern- mqtgt--to which position he may any time succeed. While Mr. Fielding Inpportetl tho Gtrstrtrtttettt on the question of conscription he denounced the War Time Elections Act. and opposed Premier Borden on the titles and other questions. As to the question or use. Sir Wilfrid has proved. like tMad, “one and other. hernre him. that the tart of having reached and passed the Chanel! span need he no barrier to political leadership and distinguished public service. "on. w, M. Martin Premier of Saskatchewan. who mute into prominence by hm part in the dramatic tight of the when! party against the Borden Gov- .nlnent's closure hill. also appears to have strong qualities of leadership, as In choice as premier of his province would indicate Hit: selection mlght to expected to have the effect of further soltdltytng Western Canada for 1.itr "ulm- / Hon.

MacKenzie King. tanner Minister ot Labor and member for North Wltertoo trom 1908 to 1911. while a young man of nndouhted ability In: capacity tor leadership. is handicapped by the circumstance that he is no; a member of the House. That a temporary or sesalonal leader will be chosen at the caucus of Liber, nt members of the Housrot Commons to be held at Ottawa on Monday is likely. judging by the tone of despatches emanating from newspaper corres- pondents now at the capital. Who that temporary leader will be la a matter of canalderable soeculatiorr-tust there ls a feeling that it may tall to the lot of Chtee Liberal Whip J A. Robb. ot Huntingdon. Que.

There are active workers amour: the Liberal members tor both Hon Mackenzie King and Hon, Geo. P graham as permanent Leader. Boll ot them have been here [or Sollir days. and there has been quite a swing by Quebec members toward Hon. Mackenzie King, not on account ot his undoubted intellectual abilities but mainly because he never quilted the Opposition during the recent el ection. Quebec would undoubtedly get behind him tor permanent Lead. er it it thought English speaking Liberals would do the same. Hon Mr. Fielding holds entirely atom from the whole controversy, maintain ing a ditmified attitude. which puts it entirely up to the Opposition to do alll it pleases. Some of his friends are‘ having success with the antic-on l scriptlonist members by remindinv them that Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his iast poltical speech before the East ern Ontario Liberal Convention held out the olive branch to conscription ist leaders. saying that it was a dead and gone issue since Premier Lloyd George declared for the abolition of conscription everywhere. To meet this argument it is stated by some intimate friends or Sir Wilfrid tha the late Leader believed that Hon Mackenzie King should be his suc cessor. Others deny this. some say .ing Graham, and sortie that ir he had (expressed such an opinion that it Imust have been after the break ir the Liberal ranks on the question O' leonBcription. There are good friends of Hon. Mr. Graham, too, but not en ough of them at the moment. in any case, neither of these men are avail ‘able as temporary Leader, as neither has a seat in the House. The objec tion still continues strong to having Mr, Fielding to many Quebec mem. hers. who are afraid " would be equi valent to making him a permanent choice. "We don't want to be rush ed." they urge their leaders. "Make some temporary arrangement for the Isession. Give us time. Perhaps Premier Martin from the West may [shape tft Wt Mr. 'ltL, To Head Committee. None of the objections to Mr. Field» Ing are personal. and but tor the .knowledge of many Opposition mam titers that they are expected by their constituents to make an onslaught Ion the Military Service Act and its ladministration. it would probably not lweigh in the balance against the oh. Iviolin immediate advantages of Arr. F'ietdinq's leadership. Because ot all lihese eonttleting elements a number are gathering behind the compromise loropoaal that a committee. with the "?ttiet Whip, Mr. James Ross. as ‘Chalrman. should he appointed to worry on tor the time being. It is ‘thought quite possible this committee ,might last until there is a field day or two on the Military Service Act. and then that the recalcitrant ele- ments would swing into' line behind Mr. Fielding as temporary Leader.
