Debate Address \ People. (Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Feb. di-Just before the House of Commons adjourned for dinner thlspaiternoon. Premier Mackenzie King dealt most exten- sively with the question 0f when-the Government would appeal to the people. The government has not yet considered when that appeal would be made. but he could assure the House that it would not wait till the last day of the week’ of the last month of thelsst hour as the con- servatives had done. The date would depend on‘what might develop in the Parliament or possibly something af- fecting Canada as a result of what might be dons in i foreign country. I can imagine a situation in Can- ada in connection with the tariff on which an appeal to the peoplecuuid very appropriately be rnads. This followed the statement of Hon. 1t. B.
