Mr. Clarke expressed the opinion that Hon. Manning Doherty had '"more go in him in 15 minutes than the Dominion Minister of Agricul-- ture has in an hour," and that if he got any speeches he might make overseas into every paper in Eng-- land '"it would be splendid."' Calls it an Impropriety. ----*"To let the Minister go would be "With the strong possibility of the Fordney Bill going through in the United States," said the -- Premier, "and with an ad valorem duty of 35 per cent. against our cattle trade --that might please those who said 'YNo truck or trade with the Yankees', which slogan I did not be-- lieve in then, and do not believe now--it will be a tremendously seri-- ous thing, not only for the farmers of this country, but for the manu-- facturing and commercial interests as wel', if we find ourselves shut out from the American market and with no alternative market. It be-- hooves us in this case to have an alternative market ready." The opening shot in the bombard-- ment was fired by Mr. J. C. Toimie, Liberal, who quoted a news cable of yestérday in support of his con-- tention that the removal of the em-- bargo had now become a political question in Britain, upon which, at present, the by--election of the Min-- ister of Agriculture was being fought. LAST--MINUTE EFFORT TO HALT MR. DOHERTY Mr. Sam Clarke poured verbal scorn on the manner in which those on his side of the House saw fit to discuss HMHon. Mr. Doherty's departure. '"'They talk about lovalty!" he ex-- claimed, facing his seatmates and those on the Conservative benches, '"'I'm loyal, thank God, but I am not boiled--down clean loyalty without any common sense. (Applause.) Let the Minister go, and even if this Government has no status, it will be heard from."

S., Canada May Have No Place to Sell ------ A Question of Good Manners? PREMIER FEARS _ FOR A MARKET The combined onslaught of the Opposition groups brought vigorous response from Premier Drury, who denied the aliegation of Opposition members that his Government was interfering in British politics. The Premier argued for continued pro-- test against the embpargo. Serious For Farmers. Liberal and Conservative mem-- bers of the Legislature, with the notable exception of Sam. Clarke of West Northumberland, joined forces yesterday in an incffectual last--hour protest against the departure for Great Britain of the Minister of Ag-- riculture, who left last night to re-- sume his efforts for the removal of the embargo on Canadian cattle. IN EMBARGO PROTEST SsATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1921. | an impropriety," he stated. "It is | unbecoming for this Government to send over one of its members to get mixed up in a political discussion in Britain, and I want to protest against that which is dangerous and which will not tend to better rela-- ttons. between Great Britain and Canada." ie _ The Conservative Leader repeated his view that the matter was purely one for Federal action, in so far as Canada was concerned, and that 'Hon. Mr. Doherty, however '"un-- ' official" his visit might be, was bound to be accepted in Great Bri-- . tain as the Minister of Agriculture | of Ontario and a member of that | Government. 1Sees Serflous Reaction. £ Hon. CG. Howard Ferguson, Con-- servative Leader, told the House that when Premier Drury and spoken to himself and the Liberal Leader regarding Hon. Mr. Do-- herty's proposed trip to England he had not been aware that a by--eleoc-- tion was pending in the Old Coun-- try and that it was being fought largely upon the issue of the em-- bargo. '"Perhaps there is a little politics behind all this," lhue opincd. "f't is a novel, perhaps an unprececdented, procedure. Had I been aware of an impending election when the Prime Minister spoke to me my attitude would have been somewhat differ-- ent."' That the embargo problem had ai: international aspect was emphasized by Hon. Thomas Crawford, who re-- peated the arguments presented by him on the floor of the lJlouse last week. "My remarks on that occasion," s4aid Hon.'° Mr. Crawford, '"have brought me letters gf approval from a large number of farmers through-- out" Ontario. I want to repeat what I said before: Should this embargo be removed, it might bring retalia-- tion from our friends to the south, and might stop the sending of our cattle into that country. I have no hesitation in sayving that, should Great Britain remove the embargo, it is a question if the reaction might not be most serious for the pro-- ducers of cattle in the Province of Ontario." 1 R. R. Hall, Liberal, Parry Sound, added his objections in the matter, but went aside from the subject to plead fér freer trade relations in general with the Mother Country. At the conclusion of a vigorous debate. lasting well over an hour, Premier Drury reiterated his belief that, as an unofficial ambassador. Hon. Mr. Doherty was putting the whole embargo problem fairly be-- fore the British public, and that the Minister might be expected to ob-- serve the amenities while on his LENNOX CHARCGE AGAINST CURRY mission.
