OTTAWA. Feb. 5 -—(CP)—-A liva- ly wrangle among Liberal members of Parliament is shaping up on tho oloomargarlne question which will break soenetirne this session in the Commons and Senate. M s, a legal test of the Federal. ben against the hitter substitute has 3cm postponed, at least tempos-ar-

. A eity-verstls-coilntry split has developed in the ranks of Govern- ment supporters over bills sponsor- ed by James lineiair (ls-Vancouv- er North) in the Commons and Senater W. D. Euler (IF-Ontario) ln the senate which would remove the long-standing restriction against: the manufacture, sale and inw- porlation of the food.

A Liberal cnuoue Wednesday heard members foe agricultural rid- ings charge that the subject was "dynamite" for ‘those counting on the farmer vote. City members said their constituents were entitled to a cheap and wilolesarnn substitute for costly butter and said Canada- produced all the ' ingredients of olccrnargarlsle, chiefly on the fawn.

Federal Election. Rumors

OTTAWA, Feb. 5 - (OP) - A small cross-section of parliamentary opinion agrees that Senator Ian MacKenzle probably was wrong in hnting there might be a Federal election within three mollills.

Only out of the Cabinet a few weeks, Senator MacKenzie told a Vancouver audience lust night that “the Liberal Party is facing a crucial test and may face it within three months on the basis of present events and trends."

The general reaction among members oi the three large part- ies in Parliament Hill was broad skepticism, One Quebec Liberal

snorted, "an election in three months? . never," and walked sway!

Only Stanley Knowles (cor -'

Winnipeg North Centre) predicted there might be something to it, but even he didn't place too much stock in it. He thought that Prime Minister Mackenzie Kim! might be sheltering s desire to rcmlin in office and might find srcne issue to provoke an election before the Liberal convention in August.
