In the Legislature last week, T. D. Pattullo, member for Prince Rupert, made a three-hour speech in which he attacked the various policies of the government, raked them fore and aft with shot and shell and concluded with the following striking peroration: : "The government has promised to reduce taxation, but has raised it and will have to raise it still more. It has j promised an improvement in general conditions, but con-1 ditions are much worse. It has promised to be economical i and has increased expenditures in all. directions. It has attacked the old government's debt and has increased the debt enormously, until it realizes itself now that expenditures must be drastically reduced. It has promised to conserve resources and enforce manufacture of raw materials here, but nothing has been done along these lines. And the responsibility for these things rests not only with the government but with every member of the House who votes for it." It i8 satisfactory that the courts have upset the constitutionality of the committee of direction set up under a British Columbia statute as an experiment in marketing farm and garden .produce. It was a law which was wholly opposed to the idea of British liberty and while it brought some good results as long as times were good it could not survive the pinch of the present depression. Under the committee, a producer was prevented from selling his wares when and to whom he wished and also it prevented buyers from getting the kinds of fruit or produce they wished. It made for wasteful methods and its disappearance from the statute books will not be regretted by anyone. MR. BENNETT' BEING TESTED Undor the heading "The Loneliness of Mr. Bennett," the Winnipeg Free Press has the following: "As the duties of his office have continued to enfold him, the Hon. R. B. Bennett. Prime Minister of Canada, has be come less and less a popular public figure. Nothing could show more deafly the magnitude of the tasks on Which he is engaged, or'pow thoroughly he is engrossed in them, than the wall of seclusion which is rowinf up between Mr, Bennett and the pjiblic. While this seclusion separates him from the people generally it also indicates an attitude on his part that will-be appreciated by all thoughtful persons. It is action that Is expected from him ; and his silence, vhich has become the outstanding surprise in Canadian politics, can only mean that Mr. Bennett is at nersonal grips behind the scenes with the practical issues whose solutions will determine very largely the fortunes of Canada during the coming months. He is apparently grappling with the main problems himself. "This is a line that only a very strong man could take. On the great matters of public policy no one is aware of what is to be done, except in so far as Mr. Bennett makes it known. When he has addressed the country, it has not been so much to make a political speech as at Regina as to announce a practical policy to meet a tangible difficulty which is affecting the lives of the Canadian people. The fact that a certain tincture of politics crept into his Regina speech may be explained perhaps as a hangover from the election campaign, but it was primarily to tell the West what he had decided to do for it that he spoke at Regina."
