JIR. KING MARKS TIME

“'21: A lengthy report of Mr. Macken-

lie King's speech in Parliament ep- pears in today's Guardian. Accord-

ling to the advance publicity it re-

ceived in the Liberal press, the

J tlsspeech purports to he a reply to the

Prime Minister's challenge to say

.......wluere the Liberal party stands on

'the reform policies which he has

pnunciated, and which have created ‘a wave of public interest and en-

lthusiasm fromcoast tc coast. Mr. King evidently is not prepared to

He talks long and eloquently about the constitution, about precedent, about tariffs and free trade, about titles, about the book he wrote eighteen years‘ ago on economic probiemsmbout everything in short, that has no direct bearing on the

fisubject of paramount public inter-

est, which is the attitude the Lib-

enunciatcd in ‘the speech from the

Throne and in the Prime Minister's

broadcasts. Whenever he touches this point Mi‘. King is vague. He

_. promises to support them “on their

merits", which may mean Iuuch or nothing, according to his own in- terpretation. At all events, he has not dared openly to oppose them, which is highly significant.

The reason for Mr. King's hesit- ancy arid evident petulance over the Premier's reform policy, is not hard to understand. As a Van- couvernewspaper expresses it, he

can hardly take up a position to the

"situation and

left of Mr. Bennett, unless he bunks with Mr. Woodsworth or chases him of! the political map. In the pres- ent temper of the Canadian people, it would be political suicide to move further to the right and so accentu- ate the difference between himself and Mr. Bennett. He has already gone so far to the right that he is completely out of touch with Lib- eral radicals like Hon. Ian Mac- kenzie and Gerry McGeer. The line of party politics, which Mr. King usually follows, would be to hold his ground and oppose everything; but it is poor political business to oppose the reforms the people so obviously want.

An insight into Mr. King's diffi- culty is given in the report in the Mail and Empire of the Liberal caucus held at Ottawa on Jan. 18. The caucus found the Opposition members frankly at sea over the at- titude they should take to the Pre- mier's reform course. Mr. King in particular admitted his perplexity, stating he "had not yet decided" on the course to adopt. At the close of the gathering, it was intimated that the Liberals would not offer Ill amendment to the Speech from the Throne, the reason being that the Prime Minister might "call" the blui! and go to the country. "The Opposition," says the Mail and Em- pire's Ottawa correspondent, "frank- ly does not want to go the lengths of precipitating a glferai election now. Reports of the reaction to the Prime Minister's program which have come from all parts of the Dominion are too uniformly en- thusilstic.”

an lakes, Australia possesses in the Great Barrier Reef, one of the most unique and interest _,, you‘: features on the globe.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral ledge-a mightlymmintain of coral towering up from- thewioor of the Pacific Qbeoflfh living wall formed by the life and death of countless genera- tions of tiny coral ahimals, uni-own- lll! for approximately twelve hun- dred and sixty miles along the eastern mast of Queensland, in many places miles wide. and of an average height 0f a hundred and eightly feet. One of the wonders of the modern world.

‘Tvdey the Great Barrier Reef is one of Australia's richest assets. Apart from being a most desirable health and holiday resort, it em- braces a far greater wealth of marine life. than is found in any other pert of Australian waters, or any other sea on the globe.

. Running parallel with the eastern coast of Queensland, from about Bundaberg to ‘Iorres Strait. the full extent of the Reef is approximately one hundred square miles. It var- ies from ten miles to ninety miles distant from the coast of the main- land. enclosing s. sea popularly termed "Australia's Grand Omal."

In the t. ntly blue waters of this sea exist a thousand ideal holiday islands, which are without compare for the sportsman, fisher- man (big-game and others), the naturalist, the scientist, and the or- dinary holiday-maker. Very few of the islands have ever had any connection with the mainland. Dur- ing the centuries they have been slowly built- from the floor of the sea. and e is no particle of them that is not pure coral or coral
