well known statesman from the United

D'A1;Tox Meatnrnr's action in public-

its unwarranted attaoks on him has
caused it great deal of discussion. The
Young Conservatives of Oollingwood
have passed a -solutions .trougly dieap.
proving .8 Mr. McCarthy's- course and
frowning down the idea of the formation
of an independent party. Evidently the
man who "speaks out in meethe " has a
thorny path to creed. Mr. McCarthy is
not alone, however, in the stand )1e has
taken.
