Careful inquiry, however. revealed the tact of the matter that Mr. Bennett,the made no definite announcement; situation has not changed at all from the time of his return from Britain for the session on May 20 last. "It all depends on my health; I will con- tinue it 1 am able," Mr. Bennett stated Thursday when asked for some comment on the newspaper storiesabout his Wednesday night Far from expressing any confidence in his health being restored, Mr. Bennett has stated, both publicly and private- ly, that hl■ health is none too good, that be does not sleep well at nights and that his heart continues to bother him. Even J. Earl Iswoon, K.C., M.P., chief Conservative organiser, whose Wednesday night statement was wide- ly quoted in the daily prem, admitted to me, "Mr. Bennett did not my de- finitely he 1. continuing; decided." Thus the whole leadership question Is still In the melting pot. Anything may happen. h....-' Roy Milner -president of the Whist peg Grain Exchange, told the special wheat committee that Mr. Bennett was "misinformed" when he said a week ago that somebody was short 86 million bushels on the Winnipeg mar- ket. Mr. Milner accounted for much of the shortage and stated that the remainder was doe to "proper hedg- ing, well known to Mr. McFarland as the Government's agent." James A. Richardson, hag Winnipeg grain ex- porter, told the committee Canada could have sold possibly another 100 million bushels of wheat this past year had Mr. McFarland accept slightly lower prices, more nearly world prices. More wheat could have been sold also, Mr. Rkhardson indicated, if Canada had bought more goods from abroad. Just this morning Mr. Bennett finally agreed to give the Liberals the In- formation they desired with regard to Mr. MrFarlaod's operations for the last three years. Ilse Be C. Camp Strikers Mr Bennett told the B. C. esmp strikers that "law and order will be maintained and Communism will be stamped out with the aid of the people." PEie resented any effort to take the Government by tbe throat and overawe It; the R.C.M.P. will be nsed to stop the strikers' trek at Regina. Pretty plainly, trouble will be brewing a - when the strikers' committee gets back to Regina. The Government's housing hill was introduced during the week. The Finer.

A good Mason nasally le a good Christian. "The Masonic order 1s the largest and oldest in the world. In history we find little of its real beginning, but thirteenth century buildings still stand, wttnesees of what Masons could do. "In the year 1275 Masons travelled Europe. The organisation contained free Masons, who were engaged 1n the actual building, and accepted Masons, who were outside the actual work, but who wanted to fraternise." Many men. said Mr. Oralk, have the mistaken idea that to be a success one mart be the best In one's accepted work. Such 1. eel the nate, be elaimed. A man in no more a Mason when he take, the land degree than the is on taking the fired, Mr. Craik said.
