ACTIVITY AT OTTAWA

There seems every likelihood of increased activity at
Oitawa from new on. The Liberals have suddenly come to
life there and are about to bombard the Tory stronghold.
This will please those who like to see a politieal serap or
who feel that the Bennett policy is wrong. Whether or not
it will make for better government is a question on which
there is much division of opinion.

The reason for the sudden activity seems to be the de-
cision on the part of the opposition leaders that the pre-
sent is the opportune time for attack. Some are unkind
enough to suggest that it is the only means by which Mac-
kenzie King can retain his position as Liberal leader fol-
lowing some very virulent attacks from within his own
ranks. At any rate the fight is on and it seems likely that
there will be a great deal of news coming from the House
of Commons at Ottawa within the next few months.

 

CONTROL OF THE SENATE

Nearly all the time the Mackenzie King Government was
in session it had an adverse majority in the Senate. That
was because the Conservative senators were so keenly
partizan they refused to die during the time when their
places might be filled by Liberals. In this respect they dif-
fered materially from Liberal senators who seemed to die
faster when their opponents were in office.

Today the Senate is Conservative with a majority of
five, if they can all get to the upper chamber to vote. Some
of them are very feeble and Hon. Arthur Meighen finds it
difficult to keep keyed up in such a depressing atmosphere.
Under. these conditions the Bennett.Government. finds it-
self with a free hand to pass any legislation it desires and
possibly the Liberals feel that they must now take the
plaee of the formerly adverse senate as the fly in the legis-
lative honey.
