The P.C. member' for Toronto-
Eglinton, Donald M. Fleming, was
the' special speaker of the evening,
introduced to the gathering by El-
ston Cardiff, Member for Heron.
Referring to "rot" and "decay"
In the government ranks, Mr.
Fleming said that in his opinion
the Liberal party needs to serve on
the Opposition benches for a time
if- its usefulness to, the country is
to be maintained, "The fine old
principles of Liberalism are fall-
ing into disuse because of complete
dictation- from a small central
group," said Mr. Fleming,
One of the chief points stressed
by the speaker was the inequality
of as .distribetion, whereby the
provieees are denied adequate In-
come and, as 'in the case of Oh-
tario, have been forced to Increase
provincial levies. " The same, he
said, is true of the municipalities.
