C. B. McLpre in the course of the Bud- _ get debate. Mr. McLure showed very p’ clearly that the point. emphasised ~ reputedly by The Guardian during the Senator’ campaign, was that it waethe duty of the novlncial Government, before asking the peo- ple of this Province to contribute to- wards a second Sanatorium, to as- sure them that it would do its ut- most to press our claim upon the Federal Government for failing to compensate this Province f ' the taking over of the Dalton lanator- ‘ iurn.

This the Gov- ernment leader, w. Dandurend. op- posed in a quite impassioned speech. Mr. Tanner, who adjourned the do- baie at eleven o'clock, made the comment that so far there had been "more heat than light on the sub- pect." The result of the voting on the divorce bill was not quite unexpect- ed, although there was always the danger of it being talked out in the end. iii was significant that it was supported by both leaders. and that Ontario members voted es for and 85 against.

Assuming that the Senate concurs, which is almost cer- tain, the end is not yet. The bill has to go through "committee of the whole, where it is expected there will be much wrangling. There is a proposal now that the rederal Par- liament, after passing the bill, and providing the machinery, it will be left optional with the Ontario Legis- lature to bring it into effect, certain- ly, not a constitutional procedure and one that will be strenuously op- posed in both ‘Chambers. The posi- tion taken by the Hon. Mr. Dand- urand in the Senate in heatedly and uneornprom‘ ‘ugly refusing to accept the proposal to refer the export li- quor bill to a special committee of that body. was that they might in- vestigate till the "cows camo home" without disproving the fact that the Government, under present condi- tions, is practically in league with bootleggers. He wanted no commit- tee surrounded by r presentatives of liquor interests. and suggested that this was an effort to defeat the bill. The discussion continues today. It is quite apparent that the real fight over this measure is in the Senate. The discussion oi yesterday afternoon on unemployment was continued lest evening. A feature of the debate was a very long and sp- parmtly very deliberate statement by the Minister of Labor who cited many quotations from public docu- ments. Re reiterated his primary po- sition that unemployment was. first, a municipal responsibility. and, sec- ondly, a provincial one, and then l1 these authorities were unable to cope with the situation. the Dominion might intervene, supporting the statement of the Prime Minister that the government in that event would be willing to cooperate.
