As far as profiting in shell munufncturc is concerned it appears to have made little difference whether tho recipient were a Liberal or a Conservative. lt. appears to have made so little difference indeed that one of those who protltted so extru- vagantly as to furnish almost 11 hor- rible example to the country, accord- ing to one of his own coliea_gues, was a former Liberal Cabinet Minister. That such was the fact was stated to-day by the_Ilon. Arthur Mcighen, Solicitor-General. The formcr Liberal minister who profited, he said, was Hon. George P. Graham, director of
