year.
When the Greek and Rumanian Govern-
ments were granted credits amounting to
millions of dollars, the friends of the
Government were again remembered.
Mr. King read a list ot these companies
and an accompanying list showing
that the d,rectors of most of these com-
panies included men who sat in the House
or Senate.
Nothing for the Consumer.
Tariff revision had been promised to
the people ot Canada for yesrs and each
year th• promise had been broken. The .
Government. the Liberal leader argued,'
had only one view of protection. and that
was protection of its friend: the manufac-
turers, without caring a hg for tits cou-
sumer. .
The rest of the debate was along accus-
tomed lines. At times it sagg. d, but now
that it Is out of the way the House can
spend the rest of the week in discussion of
the budget resolutions. This will. in all

Rev. R. E. Knowles, author of a num-

considerable vogue, is now taking a law

give up his ministerial work.

strong candidate and his election would
bring into Federal politics a man of ideas
