,l,inIy on my hands, but, as they are
.,ssrjr = all l ask is that they attack in
,,.F Colonel Aleck Campbell, in ris-
ing to ezplsin mis- motive for moving a
federation of the resolution where
,., the select committee was appointed,
80. that he did so because he thought
.,., the Committee on Taxation and
r.,s,cs wss the proper one to consider
49,. .,b;ac.. That is all well enough,
,petroub.e in Mr.. Campbell's case is
,.,fis conviction did not strike him
.,,a enough. If that idea mad occurred
,,bfn some tbirty-six hours sooner, he
-,,,s. no, have voted for the resolution
q, Mr. Wbes. IN the first place. The
..lf.o. bsi been referred to the Commit
..,,r Taxation and Finance some time
bs,s-etnoproposiuon to construct select

I do not propose in this connection 10
reply to an editorial article IN the Stand

psrsorsI nature, contained in the article |
referred to are concerned, l prefer 10
meet them in 3 way to suIt my own no |

questions Of public interest, the writer
ba.-sys such q wOefUl ignorance OF the |
