so many young . men. The oldest man

Never before has Parliament as-
sembled • under any Prime Minister
with • so many Government supporters
—in fact the Government members
have been shifted practically into the
Opposition ranks, and . it is difficult to

With very . important work to be
serried out in connection with Can-
ada's War • effort Parliament meets
under a . new Speaker, Hon: J. A. Glen
—a hardy Scot, with a broad Scots
accent.
There havebeen rumours through
the corridor that •heavy ' pressure is
being brought to bear to have Hon-
ourable Arthur Meighen resign his
seat in the' Senate and take over the
arduous .duty I of chief critic of the
Opposition daring the War term. This
no doubt is to bolster up the Oppos-
ition. However, the Prime • Minister in
his few remarks yesterday asked for
constructive criticism from . any part
of the House, and this meets with
great approval from the ,Gopernment
members;
The long-awaited' report' on the
Dominion -Provincial Relations was.
tabled yesterday, and the outstanding
recommendations . contained • in the
three large volumes which make up
th6 report are as follows:
1. Dominion government assumes
entire responsibility for unemploy-
ment relief .,for employables.
2. Dominion assumes entire pro-
vincial (but not municipal) debt.
3. Provinces withdraw from income.
inheritance and corporation tlex
fields. Also surrender all present sub-
sidies. .
4. Dominion respects remaining rev-
enue sources of provinces.'
5. National adjustment grants paid
annually to provinces, accordingto
need, to maintain national average
services without excessive .taxation.
Emergency grants would be used to+
deal with abnormal conditions.
6. Future provincial and municipaka
borrowing in Canadian funds only,
Provinces still borrow on own credit
or, if loans approved by Dominion
finahr+e commission, on credit of Can-
ada. �I '
Committted for trial on a charge
of obtaining credit by false pretences
and of .fraud, Murray H. Thornton:
of Thamesford, a travelling hay=pres-
ser, was acqui',ted by Judge Costello
-in County Judge's .Criininal� Court at
-Goderich last week after a day -long
trial. • '
• Last December Thornton, through
.an agent, Howard Baer., of Colborne
Township, purchased quantities of -hay
in Colborne and Ashfield, pressed it
on the premises and trucked it away'
for sale in Oxford Cpunty. Evidence
disclosed that he purchased thehay
for $5 to•$6 a ton and sold it for $11
to $11.50.
One of ,these purchases, twenty-five
tons, was made 'from Arthur Cook,
Huron Township farmer, For his 25
tons of hay Cook received, it was div-
ulged, $60. in cash and a cheque of
Thorinton's for $25. The cheque 'was
post. -dated, • had a Sunday date and
'was .drawn an the Royal Hank, Luck
