Pin- ally,.after the doctor insisted, he con- sented to be ,examined the next day betoe the flow met, promised that if 1* had a teusperature he would not appear to answer Mr. King. Hso didu, keep his promise. On the next day, he wouldn't even let his temperature be taken. Suffering from a night of pain, and with little food, he brushed aside his colleagues, laugh- ed at their advice. Like the veteran actor whose credo is that no matter what befalls the show must go on, he declared that he would Make his speech no matter what the conse- quences. There would be no fears from his friends or jeers from his foes that to 'Mr. King's attack he was un- able to give an answer. As Mr. Bennett rose in his place that afternoon and his followers cheered thunderously, few guessed the strain under which he was laboring or the risk that he had incurred. Nor did his critics realize the reason for his seeming weakness in attack. Oc- casionally, there were flashes of the old tempestuous power, but more of- ten there were _tired sentences, a weariness and absence of drive which only a few understood. Yet Mr. Bennett, putting on a brave front, if showing traces of care, car- ries on with the same zeal and ter- rific force which he displayed at the outset. He is still Minister for Ex- ternal Affairs, Prime Minister, Min- ister of Finance, acting Mnister of Labor n the Hiouse. It was hinted to him, all but urged by his friends that he secure a -Finance Minister --pre- ferably Mr. Meighen; that he free himself of the burden of leading the House, leading his party, and admin- istering three departments. His an- swer was an expressed determination to frame and put through this year's budget, personally' to put into motion the economic policies which he prom- ised, 'to go to this summer's Empire Economic Conference and renew the proposals of his Government. Mr. Bennett's resolve is to make himself personally responsible, to stake his own career, as it -were, up- on the success or failure of his cause. If he succeeds, if his policies triumph then he and he alone will be the vic- tor. If he fails, then the failure will be his own, and his own reputation will suffer. This strength of Mr. Bennett is, to the Opposition, his weakness. It is what Mr. Ring has seized upon, with all the cunning of a keen tactician, to present the Prjme Minister before the country as an autocrat, a dictator, a Canadian Mussolini. it was this note upon which he played, and to which he -returned again and again, through - mit the early weeks of the session, His strategy wase and is, to make Mr. Bennett into a sort of Golliwog, to craftily, and subtly insinuate an unat- tractive and dictorial and dangerous Prime Minister into the public mind. An industrious member of the press gallery took the pains to compile from Mr. King's speeches the following py- ramid; or rather Eiffel Tower, of des- ignations applied by him to Mr. Ben- nett: "Rough" "Coercive" "Combative" "Belligerent" "The Great I Am" "Government is His" "One-man Government" "Is Coercing Parliament" "Is Fighting And Blasting" "Is Subverting the Cabinet" "This Government is His Own" "The Force of Might, not Right" "He is the Alpha and Omega -All" ''He is Coercing other Countries" "He is Driving Things Through House" "He is Coercing the British Government" ' Layine. Down the Law with threats of Force" "An Attitude ter Assurance and of Arrogance" "The Methods of the Blaster and the Gunman" BACKSTAGE AT OTTAWA (By a Politician With a Notebeok, in MacLean's). The halfway mark of the session has ,brought its inevitable stocktaking and the estimates -friendly, hostile, judicial, as the case may be -of the Prime Minister and his achievements. Mr. Bennett, having had his first real baptism of fire, has 'been analyzed and psychoanalyzed by friend and foe. It war one thing to 'experience the first exaltation of victory, to go through a special session with fault-finding all but a sacrilege. It is another and quite different thing to account for eight months of stewardship, with promissory notes falling due, and an Opposition pitiless in its scrutiny, and rooters less vociferous in the galler- ies. Mr. Bennett, thwarted by cir- cumstances, is making this discovery. Plagued by problems and enemies, and sometimes afflicted by friends, his por- tion is vow the test of the trials and realities of office. It is what Disraeli once described as the difference be- tween courtship and possession. Eight months of this testing have taken toll from Mr. Bennett. Out- wardly he is the picture of health and vigor -bronzed, clear-eyed, alert; but less visible things tell the price that is being exacted by the worries and responsibilities of the Premiership. He himself does not complain. Extra- ordinary resilient,' buttressed by an indestructible faith in his star, he in- sists that he is in perfect shape, de- clines to play the martyr itt a hair shirt. It is an attitude more valorous than prudent. Late on the night of the day when ,Mr. King -made his four and a half hour speech, Mr. Bennett was T40.11 'WO libo ' was Onee a reporter, and, is the ;Any of roewspapermen, neveP f030s it, 'So on thp =Winn, wing ,1 a chance, he seized Von it, and assafr- ing the role of a journalist, Wok WI the cudgels for the press. In a neat fiveentinute speech he proceeded to set Mr. Bennett right, to point out that nine tines Oa of tent, in cases ofnnis- reporting, the politicians and not the reporters were wrong. It all made a great hit with the gallery, was a score for Mr. King. The truth is--andi this session has emphasized it-sthat Mr. Bennett knows little about the popularity game and cares less, More than that, Mr. Bennett has Shown that he is not overly, particular about the House of Commons. :thus, for hours at a time the Prime Minister absents himself from his seat, spends his afternoons and most of his evenings in his office dealing with matters of administra- tion. Mr. King. meanwhile, either watches over his flock in Parliament or sits chatting or planning with them in the lobbies. It is not that Mr. Bennett lacks the social instinct or that he is a snob. There are times when he un- bends graciously, and when, in the company of a few friends, he talks most charmingly and entertainingly: Nor does Mr. Bennett permit im- mersion in his administrative ...duties to close his mind to the lighter things of life. Thus when, not long age, an Ottawa impresario required certain local support in an effort to bring the New York Metropolitan Opera Company to the Capital, it was Mr. Bennet who, solicited curiously enough by that •veteran Liberal, the Hon. Charles Murphy, promptly offered the necessary guarantee to ensure such a musical event. Nor is this the only evidence that behind Mr. Bennett's aloofness and abruptness there is an ordinary and ometimes lovable humanity. He votes dry, talks dry, drinks dry, but it has been left for an American writer to disclose that he has a liking for choc- lates, keeps a bex near him during work; while it has been recently re- vealed that, among his other talents, Mr. Bennett is a considerable car- oonist. When, net long ago, a dele- gation appeared before him, the Prime Minister sat with a pad worked con- tently upon it. The delegates prob- bly flattered themselves with the be- ief that Mr. Bennett was taking cop- ous rotes of their words of wisdom. What he was actually doing was a ompetent job of cartooning the var- en •••• „4194U,Kid.

Rebuffed and a 6it humiliated, Mr. Houde wasn't tTanonished. He was so far from being vantjuiehed that what happened in the intenvening months may' be told thust• ' 1. Mr. floncle.secured the right to have the City of Montreal appear be- fore the Board of Railway Commis- sioners to show why the Canadian National should not proceed with its Eastern Belt Line, an important in- tegral part of its tertnihal project. 2. The Board of Railway Commis- sioners having ruled in favor of the Canadian National, Mr. Howie ap- pealed to the Supreme Court of Can- ada, his complaint being that the Railway Commission had not given Montreal opportunity to develop its case. 3. The Supreme Gourt of Canada having thrown out his appeal, hold- ing that the Board of 'Railway Com- missioners had given its decision af- ter a full and fair hearing, Mr. Houde next appealed to the Governor -in - Council, which is the' Cabinet. 4. The Cabinet, presided over by Mr. Bennett, decided in favor of Mr. Houde, held, in effect that the Su- preme Court of Canada was wrong, grdered the Board of Railway Com- missioners to again hear Mr. Houde. To those backstage in Ottawa, this decision of the Cabinet is significant. What it is held to mean, frankly, is that Mr. Bennett has strained a point to help his. Quebec political ally, to make it a little easier for him to face Mr. Taschereau when the guns get going in Quebec. Mr. Houde had staked much of his reputation on this Montreal terminal fight. He had told his friends and supporters that he would stop the National plans. If he had failed to do so, his prestige in the coming Quebec battle would have been seriously impaired. As it is. Mr. Bennett's decision temporarily heightens Mr. Houde's fortunes, a fact which Mr. Houde is not slow to proclaim. Not only does the Quebec Chieftain boast a partial victory over the ,Canadian National, but his claim, and the claim of his friends, is that this is but the thin end of the wedge, that it means the ultimate rejection of the National ter- minal scheme as a whole. ous delegates and speakers. Meanwhile, appearing simultaneous - So much for Mr. Bennett. What of ily and quite significantly, is this it - he other parties? While the Liber- I em in a Montreal newspaper, It is ls have their trials and tribulations ver what they should do about the ariff, about taxation, and about other natters, the Progressives bear a cross f their own. They, too, have their so clear that all who run may read: "A complete accord of the Con- servative forces in the Province of Quebec has been effected, with the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Min - schisms. Their first trouble arose ister of Canada, and Mayor Camilien when they discovered apostates in their ranks, Tories in disguise. The result has been a failure of the Pro- gressive caucus to reach common ground, a failure evidenced in theie nability to devise a sub -amendment to the Speech from the Throne, sub- sequently revealed in hardly less triking ways. The Tories of the flock emerge as Milton Campbell, of Mackenzie; A. M. Carmichael, of Kindersley; W. T. Lucas, of Camrose; and William Irvine, of Wetaskiwin. All ran either as independents or as U. F. A.'s, but evidently with the Tory benediction and support, and are now allegedly more in sympathy with Mr. Bennett than with Mr. King. The result is that the Progressives, ike some others, incline to 'pussyfoot on the tariff. Their old battle cry, the banner under which they fought o valiantly after 1921, has been cast aside, and in its stead there is talk about our monetary system, about the need of bank reform, of deflation, of an abandonment of the gold stan- dard. Thus Mr. Coote, of Macleod, one of the ablest of the U. F. A.'e actually brought forward a proposal to abandon the gold standard, to cease raising loans in foreign countries, and to allow trade trends to take their ourse. There is not one chance in a million of such a plan being accept- ed, but its very suggestion is a rev- elation of the advanced lines of econ- omic thought to which the once mod - rate party of Mr. Crerar has ad - arced. More radical, too, are the Liberals. It. is the history of Liberalism that it is more liberal in opposition than in office, and in this case history is but repeated. Mr. King is once more rusading for the "plain people," ral- lying his legions against the "trusts and combines" and "plutocratic wealth," and he is crusading with all his old adroitness and skill. One of the ablest of his new cap- tains -the session's most distinguish- ed find -is Captain Ian Mackenzie, the Scots -born member from Vancou- ver, conqueror of Harry Stevens. Mac- kenzie is that almost extinct thing in Parliament these days, a fiery old- fashioned orator. His eloquence is of a type that was popular in Par - lament thirty years ago, but the House listens eagerly to his rhetoric and applauds it uproariously. Should Mackenzie's mind turn out to be as active as his tongue, then the time will come when he will be accepted as a major Parliamentary figure, as a new force in politics. And while Mr. King professes to hink all these things of Mr. Bennett, OT would have the country believe hem of him, Mr. Bennett counters by picturing Mr. King as a political hameleon, or, to vary the metaphor, as a politician who is something new ften and nothing. very long, one who las all but exhausted the capacity of hange. Thus, dancing through Mr. Bennett's speeches are words and ihrases like these: "Appeals to pas - ions and prejudices," "a would-be eer," "deliberate misrepresentation," "subject to whims and caprices," 'changes his mind overnight," "an oleaginous and saponaceous manner of speaking," "an empty rhetorician," 'a master. of circumlocution," "a cre- ator of distrust and suspicion," "an exaggerated ego," "a practitioner of platitudes and deceptions." Each tries to combat the propagan- da of the other by a more pleasant picture of himself. Mr. Bennett's de- scription of what Mr. King calls auto- cracy is that he is merely "frank," 'plain," "blunt," "firm," "dignified," 'a practical business man," "shunning circumlocution and uncertainty." These are actually the Prime Minis- ter's words taken from his speeches. Mr. King on the other•hand, likes to think of himself as a sort of Glad- stonian Liberal, and while he does not openly say so, he leaves a subtle but unmistakable implication that he is one who values spiritual things, that he is a man of peace, an internation- alist, an achiever of national, Imper- ial and world unity; that his mission is to allay sectional and racial and religious prejudices, to protect the people's liberties, to fight for the un- derdog, to succor the weak, the dis- tressed and the oppressed. Yet the curiosities of tempera- ment and this Parliamentary game notwithstanding, Mr. King and Mr. Bennett get on famously. Mr. King is the more adroit, the more astute of the two. Hd has the gift of sell- ing himself to the public; also of sell- ing himself to the press. A few weeks ago there was the an- nual meeting of the Parliamentary press gallery. There was a free- and - easy luncheon, and, following a tradi- tional custom, the Prime Minister and Leader of the Opposition and a few veteran journalist M. P.'s were pres- ent and spoke. Mr. Bennett, as us- ual, was serious. Quite gravely he proceeded to lecture the correspond- ents upon their duties, upon their mis- demeanors, to point out when and where and how often newspapers made difficult the path of statesmen. ,r.porilattalan GET RID OF CONSTIP TION Use Dr. Carter's famous Little Liver Pills.

Corning to modern times, a most interesting robot is that in Washing- ton known as the °Great Brass Brain." It answers questions put to it concern- ing the tides in any port in the world. More wonderful still, it accurately predicts the times of the tides for several years ahead. A robot which can work out sums which are at present beyond the pow- ers of great mathematicians seems unbelievable, yet this is what the ro- bot known as the Product Iritegraph does. It also solves in a few minutes or a few hours problems which would take anyone weeks or years to do. Another robot controls the entrance to an American factory. It will open the door only when someone says the words "Open Sesame." The "Televox" answers phone calls and carries out certain orders. It can be c-ontrolled from a. distance.

Casualties have depleted the ranks of both parties of their best fighting captains. Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Moore, two of Mr. King's ablest ileutenants, have been forced out of commission by illness, while on the Conservative side Mr. Stevens is still sorely missed. Finally, as proof that adversity likes a shining mark, Administrator Duff has just emerged from the Valley of the Sha- dow, while the health of Mr. Speaker Black leaves something to be desired. When prorogation will come is not known, though from present indica- tions it will be well into July. Then, of course, will be the Imper- ial Economic Conference. It will be the largest and greatest gathering of its kind that the Capital of Canada has known, and how it will measure up with Old World hospitality re- mains to be seen. When Dominion Premiers go to London they are met as conquering heroes. Their stay there, indeed, is one long losing battle against an overpowering kindliness; and only time can tell whether, when upon arriving at the Chateau Laurier, British and over -sea delegates will find roses on their bedroom chiffon- ers, plus a decanter of whisky - which is the good old British custom. Already, however, two floors of the Chateau have been optioned for their use which, in addition to being some- thing by way of a beginning, may well save the country a pretty bill fo: taxis. For these Empire conferences, come high. 45i- 16,-„obtaliviowit406:01Y40.V°Y.-- •-• GRAIN MARKET Toronto, April 28. -Manitoba wheat -No. 1 hard, 675c; No. 1 Northern, 65e; No. 2 do.. 62%c: No. 4 do., 55%c (c.i.f.

People have looked at mechanical men in amazement and have wondered what inventors will do next. The robot, however, is no new thing and if we include mechanical animals under this heading, then the robot is well over two thousand years old. The first one seers to have been made about 400 B. C., when Archytas, a Creek, constructed a flying pigeon made of wood. The chief difference between anci- ent and modern robots is that the mo- tive power used in the past was clock- work and springs, whereas to -day it is princippally electricity. Another thing is that the discovery of the phonograph enabled present-day ro- bots to speak. Among the earliest mechanical men were these made by Roger Bacon and Descartes. These opened doors and played musical instruments. A Frenchman, Vaucanson, made in 1740 a robot which played many dif- ferent tunes on a German flute. When the movement of lips and fingers nec- essary to play that instrument are considered, it is realized that great skill and ingenuity were needed to achieve such a result. Vaucanson also invented a mechan- ical duck, which ate, drank and quack- ed. This was perhaps one of the first attempts to imitate mechanically the speech or call of living creature. The E,mperor Maximillan must have den both surprised and delighted when, on entering Nuremberg, he saw a mechanical duck fly up to him, then saluate and return to its owner.

Ottawa, for examule, puzzles just now, and right- ly, over what has takenplace in con- nection with the Canadian National Railways terminal project in the city of Montreal. The story is a curious one. Two years ago the Canadian Na- tional plans, devised by an eminent British engineer, were approved by the Government and Parliament, and the necessary money provided to carry out their construction. Then, when all was going well, came Mr. Camilien Houde.' Mr. Houde who, in addition to being mayor of Montreal, is the lead- er of the Conservative party in the Province of Quebec, objected to the scheme. Precisely why Mr. Houde objected, or on whose behalf, is not clear; but at all events his opposition carried him to the extent of securing a New York engineer to draw up a rival plan, a weapon which Mr, Houde used in an effort to get Mr. Bennett to cancel the scheme already well un- der way by the Canadian National en - VARD *C.W THANKS Prr...,•••••••• Iges. •Cherles Delenage, iYles.
