—--... Bun-During the last few days the King Government at Ottawa has become greatly exercised over the rights and privileges of Alberta bankers and has already disallow- ed the egislatlon prised by the: Aberhart administration. Mr. King gave as one of his reasons for Pedeml action that the Alberta legislature violated a fllI‘(iIlm.“‘l'1] principle of British justice that every man has a right. of acne.» t to the courts. Now 1t. is painfully evident: that Ottawa is little con- cerned over the plight. of the dls- ’ tmses=ed farmer of the NorthShore ‘I of Prince Edward Island since Mr. King made no reference to the Ex- propriation Act, recently by the Legislature of this Prov- ince which violated the self-same principle of British justice as the proposed Alberta legislation would do. Apparently the Government at t, Ottawa and our Queen's County c representative Mr. Dunning are ,- more interested in preserving the rights of bankers than they are
