Howard Ferguson, * from '"insinuations vile from a po-- litical moral sense," Dr. Forbes God-- frey, Conservative member for West | York, bitterly criticized the Timber Commission until called to order by the Speaker in the Ontario Legisla-- ture last night. If Mr. Justice Riddell, he said, had | wanted to do "the x.'lght, the honest, the decent and square thing," he P would have magle public in Toronto Hon. Mr. Ferguson's much--discussed cablegram from Bermuda, and not s in $udbury, many days later. He named over all the counsel interest-- ed at one time or another in the in-- a vestigation, and referred in forceful language to "the mire and muck" that had engulfed them. To Keep Raney "Ducking."

My honorable friends know why, and before this House closes we will Ateach them why." Touching upon the Kapuskasing issue, Dr. Godfrey told Attorney-- General Raney that it would not be , very long before the Government would hear more about it. Attorney--General Raney--I won-- der why something has not hap-- pened ? Something to Happen. ,' Dr. Godfrey----If my . honorable: friend will wait he will have some-- thing happen that will hardly be encouraging from the standpoint of his serenity. j ** Then, on Timber Commission mat-- ters, the member for West York proceeded to state that G. C. Hurd-- man, former Liberal member for West Ottawa, had decided,; after ten day's muckraking, that he could not get anything on Hon. Mr. Fer-- guson. "His associates,'" said the doctor, ,'"were not just the kind of men he liked to be with, and he gave /. up the job.'"' Mr. McEvoy, he said, ~ took up the job, and quit. R. T.
