“PETERED OUT"

"Ihe debate on the reply to the Speech from the Throne." says our local ctempo y, "has petered out." Which being interpreted means that Liberal ammuniti petered out, and the debate went by default to the Government. Mr. bdackesieie King, the only Libero-l spokesmen, dared not move an Op- position amendment, as is custom-

\ary; and his followers found it the

better part of wisdom to look wise and say nothing.

The Sydney Post-Record (Inde- pendent) remarks in this connection that the proposals Premier Bennett has brought forward suggut the policy a progressive Opposition should have followed if it was not asleep on the job. It was methlng new under the sun to see such far- reaching reforms brought down by the Government of the day, for the rounding out of its record before appealing to the co tuenc‘

~These reforms have received the ap-

proval of the leaders of both the independent groups in the House. Mr. King's acquiescence is not giv- en with similar cordiality, but it is sufficiently definite to show that the Opposition Leader realizes how popular these proposals are with the great majority of the Canadian people. If he is well advised he will support this greet humanitarian legislation wholeheartedly, placing sound principle above doubtful strategy, forgetting the score he has lost in the political game, and re- membering only that the first duty ef real ‘ tesnfsnship is service to the country.

MILK CONTROL ACTS
