~ With the ‘progress. ef the con- | troversy, the minister’s‘atlitude has _ become more and more arrogant. He _has turned questions aside with the “retort that “it is most irregular that I should be cross-examined in this\. fashion.” It would cost him nothing to satisfy the honest doubts of some -~tnembers, at least, but he prefers to tell them £Kitthey are talking non- sense, that they haven’t done their ‘homework, or that their views -are badly motivated. ' Tt*seems, as one commentator re marks, that he has now got to the -point of being tough merely for the sake of being tough—or, perhaps, for. the sake of the image he hopes is going to propel him-into the Liberal leadership. Certainly he couldn’t do better than he has been doing if it was his purpose to prove the.critics | —-tight when he said he was out to stuff -unification down Parliament's throat, ; like it-or not. His attitude must prompt many people, as yet uncom- mitted either way, to wonder about the compelling reasons for change and why their sponsor is so shy about presenting them for examination.
