Monsieur Bourasse is the French
Liberal who a few weeks agoresigned

did uot withdeaw its support and he
was reelected. More than ihat, on
tAkiug his seat in the House last week
one of the two members who intro-
duced him to Mr. Speaker was J.Israel
Tarte, niember of the Government
against which he entered his. Protest.
No English speaking member,• Grit or

Bourassa. Tarte supports Bourassa
and his anti-British cry in Quebec and
