Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 14.-Confronted
with heavy legislative calendar that
is calculated to keep its members busy
for many weeks to come, the Domin-

How long this will take is purely a
matter of conjecture 1t is evident
that the Opposition intends to discuss

dence that eventually the measure will
pass without alteration in any of its
essential details.
