Mr. Dewar[ has been persistent in
demanding an accounting from the inter.
national Nickel Company, which he
claims should be contributing much more
heavily than it has dune to the Provincial
revenues. He forced the Hearst Govern-
ment to collect a larger amount in taxa
from the Company, and he has nobr per-
suaded the Drury Government to make a
thorough investigation of the operations
of the Company. Mr. Dewart has been
a good servant of the Province in this
matter.
