Web- sters letters appearing in the last two- issues of your paper, would be in­ clined to say that the future 4of the Leadership League looked anything but promising. When Mr. McCullagh launched this 'movement he naturally expected some criticism,, but why should J. G. Webster, get so heated up about it when he has nothing bet­ ter to offer; anyhow the League has no intention qf introducing conscrip­ tion; anyone who feels satisfied, with the way the Government is spending their money, are at liberty to-stay out of the League. True J. G. Webster is not the only critic. I notice that a few of the M. P’s, have turned their guns on the League. That however is. not. to- be- wondered at, they have to try defend their job. I might do same if I had one. In conclusion I would, like to J. G. that his Stink Bombs or and. the Maple Syrup Time? IT . V ........■...........-......
