-which 'will surprise *many. Ile said
that there was an erroneous impres-

lines ot agricultural 'products. Tak-

surface ty Mr. Borden, the leader
of the Opposition, wile seemed idle,-

their part in the matter. But after
the explanation of Mr. Fielding the
transaction -was made to bear quite
different fa xe and is not • ny any
-means so serious as our Ontario
.authoritiea weuld like the public to
believe. There has been no invas-
• ion of Provincial Rights, and If the
• Dominion have encroached on 'private'
rights, the courte are quite compe-
tent to deeide if it is agreed between
the parties to seek their aid. The air-
earestances as explained by Mr:Field-
ing, who, supported his statements ny
documental evidence, • are in the
main as follows:

cided that an extensive area was
