in

yesterday

bV
Liberal
and
prairie
members
for
his'
attitude
toward
the
farmers.
J.
L.
Brpwn,
member
for
Lisgar,
Man.,
was
one
of
the
principal
critics
of
the
government
for
its
stand-in
regard
to
agrculture.
Hon.
W-
R.
Motherwell,
former
minister
of
agriculture
in
the
Mackenzie
King
government,
took
the
Premier
to
task,
charging
that
he
was
trying
to
bully
the
house
just
as
he
was
trying
to
bully
the
farmers.
This
bullying
would
not
be
tolerated.
Mr.
MpMillan,
another
Liberal
member,
declared
that
the
Premier
had
gone
to
the
relief
of
the
bankers
rather
than
that
of
