cussion of a further bill which he was
directed to report providing for COM
mission on the subject. He would decline,
however to allow amendments to be
offered. He opened the argument by
declaring his belief that the fixing OF day
for resumption was hopeless menace to
prosperity; that it effected no good, and
that it was utterly useless for all practica
purposes, The best business men OF the
country had said so, and said so to biz

as party necessity under the whip ane
