'i i OTTAWA: Candor compels me to report that one reason why the parliament of 1952 is less exciting and colorful than the one' I first saw in 1115, or those of, say, 1525 r 1933, is because the liberals nave things so much their own wav. The Liberal regime has been in power now lunger than any other save one in history. Tha old master Siv John A. Mucdim-ald came in in 1879 and his party went out in 1H96. But here to have an investigation made of the AMOVE federal defence organization, with particular reference to fraud and thefts was thrown out in the House of Commons Monday. I. Perhaps these irregularities in Army personnel behaviour as reported in the news of late can be explained, but they do not indicate that Canadian military men are less trustworthy than any other class of citizen.

Speaking of reports of a split in Liberal ranks, Uie attorney-general said, "Mr. Johnson is the leader and everyone is behind him." "That's one thing about the Liberal party. We reserve the right to disagree and we do plenty, but that's tlw only way to reach a decision. We don't push policy through like these others." I'KAISKS McRAE Mr. Wismer praised Jack Mc-Rae, Liberal member for Prince Rupert in the last legislature, who is seeking re-election. "It was through Mr. McRae'a efforts that we brought down some very Important amendments to the Labor Act and the Liberal party, at Us convention l ist month, approved in principle these amendments."
