WON ANOTHER SCHOLARSHI Dr, and Mrs. Perrie attended the S5th Convention of Knox College on Tuesday evening, when their son, D. K. Perrie, B.A., received his diploma GEORGE SPOTTON, MEMBER FOR NORTE!: HURON, SPEAKS ON THE BUDGET At the outset, Mr. Speaker, I should like to read theamendment as moved by the honmember for South Well- ington (Mr. Guthrie), because there scents to have been some misunder- standing, intentional or otherwise, in connection with this amendment. Any person who understands English and who does not wish to misrepresent matters, will find that there is not a word in this amendment regarding higher protection. In fact, if there was a syllable in it recormnending higher prOtettion for this country, I would not support the resolution eith- er by voice or vote. It reads,: That all the words after the word "that" be stricken out and the following substituted there for: This house regrets that the fin- ancial proposals of the govern- ment make no provision for rea- sonably safeguarding and pro- tecting— t Not indtjetries, not the manufactur- ing concerns, not any great ccarpora-s Con, but safeguarding and protect - ng-- . —the interests of those "engaged in agricultural pursuits- -that means farmers -- -or in industrial" employment in Canada.

In 1854 IVIacdonald succeeded in uniting the moderate ConservativeS and the rnoderate Liberals of both provinces under the title of Lib- eral-Conservaties, under the lead- ership of Sir John Macdonald, and he was joiged by most of the Tories. This coalition was bitterly attacked by extreme men, on both side, but Robert Bald- win came out of retirement for a moment to approve of it; it was surely time for a party which re- presented the views of the mod- erate men df both racee. , Of the new party the Upper Canadian ., leader was Sir Allan MacNab, but in the next year he was quietly shelved in favoiir of Mac- Donald. I do not see how the Reform party can claim any connection with him: The moderate Liberals, wligi were the largest group, and the moderate Con- servatives, who were the second lar- gest, united. under Sir John MaCdon- ald and they were called the Liberal - Conservative part. Where the Re- form party ever got a license to call themselves Liberals is more than I can find in the pages of history. I have in my library Hansard almost from the first time it was published, and looking over all the Hansards as I have done,. it seems to have been the bounden duty of every govern- ment after they had been in office —and it takes them about a year to get things well oiled and greased and running smoothly—to clahn in every speech from the throne that the coun- try is prosperous. The next year it is more prosperous, the third year more prosperous still, and so on This administration is something like Doctor Coue: every day, in every Way, they are growing better and better. But this seems to be a duty which followers of an adtninistration must per forin.

These' were the groupa that were elected, as laid down in history, and I am. quoting from the high school history used in Ontario. It is corroborated by every other his- tory that will be -found in the public libraries of Canada: (1)The 'rories, the remnant of the Family Compact, led by Sir Allan MacNab, (2) Moderate Tories, calling themselves Conservatives, under the rising star of Macdonald. (8) The moderate Liberals 'un- der Hincks, who formed the larg- est single group. (4) The "Clear Grits," whose early leaders had been William Lyon Mackenzie and* Dr, John Rolph, two of the rebels of 1837, brit who isow acknowledged the leadership of Mr, George Brown, editor of the Toronto Globe. BrOwn (1818-1880) was a young Scotchmana who had come out in 1843, and who gave his tireless energy to fighting what he con- sidered abuses, The Grits were the anti -privilege men; they saw that the. Roman, Catholic Church had certain privileges, and attack- ed them; they ,saw that the seig- niors had certain privileges and denotinced them. For the same reason they denounced the clergy reserves and separate schools, In Lower Canada (5) the so- called Liberals under' Morin and (6) the "Parti Rouge", or "Reds".

'In the past," Ross Mackinnon, general sales manager for the Cher •rolet Motor- Company, points out, "elaborate show .toom settitgs have usually beets reserved for the large 'tuts' expensive cars --:merely because the smaller, less costly cars failed to look their best against such back grounds. But this year we have de- veloped in the new Chevrolet Six a ' car which holds its. own in the most ornate surroundings. This was prov- en at the big, motor shows at various points in Canada, and now we are Put to demonstrate the fact to car - 'buyers everywhere:" •eonsequence, of which deelsion, 'Chevrolet dealers have been engaged for a week past in preparation for the 'big event, In many cases experts in' .decoration .have been engaged.

Thom- as A,' Crerar, made in 'Winnipeg af- ter he had attended a convention in Regina on August 6, 1925. He says: Iui thie minds of many thought- ful people the course of the pe - sent government at Ottawa on domestic affairs has been mark- ed by inefficiency and drift. Inefficiency and drift. Those are not .my words, Mr. Speaker. 'they are the considered opinion of the Hon. Thomas A. Crew. He goes 00 to say: That the King administrtition had largely failed to implement its platform on tariff and had lar- gely failed to introduce econom- ies:in public expenditures that would lead to reduced. taxation, which was imperative; that the financial condition of the coun- try was extremely serious, and that as Calla& could no longer support a burden of taxation such as we have at present in the face of reduction of taxation in the United States alongside of us, this condition of affairs might have very serious consequences.
