' 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 ascertain• the dividing line in the seat- ing in the House. . 1 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.

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.
