1 In -September, 1925, Mr. King was granted dissolution
".% by His Excellency Lord Byng, on the representation
that he must be given a chances to secure a clear
working majority. , He stated at Richmond Hill that
if such a majority was not forth'coming, he would
not attempt to carry on,
2 In the old Parliament thus dissolved there had been
234 members, of whom 117 were Liberals, 66 irver!,

The constitutional issue is pure political buncombe, designed to
divert attention from the King Government's administration of
,
the Customs Department; upon whicn issue it was ignominiously
defeated in the House of Commons.

Here are the vital stubborn Facts:
servatives.
3 In the new -Parliament, elected' in October,. 1925,
Mr. Meighen had by far the largest group—almost
•
half the total membership of the House. Out of 245
• seats the Conservatives had 116, the Liberals 101, the
Progressives 24, Labour 2, and. Independents 2.
i
•
when Mr. King asked His Excellency for diszextion
on Monday, June 28th.
6 To have granted. Mr. King a diSsol=tioil under such
circumstances would have been a direct denial of
the right of Parliament to pass upon the vote of
censure then pending.
7 Following Mr. King's resignation, Parliament by a
rttajority of 10 did actually adopt- a direct vote of
censure on the King Government, and declared it
unworthy of confidence or office.
8 It was Mr. King's refusal to follow British precedent
in co-operating with the incoming administration:to
pass supplies and complete the sessional programme
that left Mr. Meighen no alternative but to ask for
dissolution.'
4 Instead of immediately resigning, as he should have 9
done in viev*f the ground upon which he had been
granted dissolution, Mr. King asked for and' was.
"granted leave to carry on, on the assurance that he
would leave, the fate of his administration • to 1 0
Parliament itself.
5 On Friday, June 25th, three separate motions by so -
coiled independents, in support of which Mr, King's 1 1
Government marshalled its last ounce of strength,
were decisively defeated and the original motion of
censure, to which the foregoing had been moved in
stmendment, was still awaiting decisionin Parliament
. „
.
Mr. Meighen followed the same course as that
adopted by Sir, Wilfrid Laurier in .1911, when he
saw that it was impossible to carry on and abruptly
dissolved Parliament.
•
If His Excellency had recalled M. King to office, he
would have <lone so in the very face of Parliament's
vote of censure.
Under Mr. King's interpretation of the constitution a
Premier need never resign, but could demand dis-
solution after distolution, despite the verdict of
Parliament or the electorate, and the Governor
General must perforce accept his advice.
This is the story. It calls for no comment—it speaks for itself!
The Conservative Party stands solid as a rock for sound British constitutional
practice, the maintenance of the British connection, and the right of Canada to
enjoy the blessings of stable Government.
