There seems to be no• relnetanee an the part Of The Globe and Mail and 1114 political allies to wish sew or increased expenditures upon Ottawa for this, that and the other thing, while criticizing it for spend- ing too much. In a recent issue the G..ttnd M. in_ its leading editor- ial scolded Mr. Abbott for his "over- taxation"' and in ia('o articles 1111 - mediately following, in the saute issue, called for new expenditures by the Ottawa Government.
