Many con- tend that the Senate sheuld be ab - (dished. iCertainly at Should, if it LS it§ remain in its present state - of lassitude. Others, principally prom- inent Cansereative deadprs, are sat- isfied with (the present ''nert galaxy.

This 'seems rather an sereasing Isita.ati'en, but it Is 'none the less true." • Speaking of 'al 'nationality of the newcomers, he csemarked that nearly all Who !had come 'to Toronto and were sent out 'through weste n- tario were %from the British, ales.
