In' the hour and a half he spoke, said the Premier. the Liberal Leader had not contributed a single constructive sug- gestion that, might aid the Government in finding a solution to the big problem. Instead, it had simply been a case of venting "personal spleen." Revelations did, however. come from the Prime Minister in the form of statements that during the recent course of action precipitated by the Government against the Toronto brokerage houses. they had had the advice of outstanding financiers. and business men: that the Attorney-Gen- eral, on another occasion, had but- tressed his position under the Security Frauds Prevention Act. by consulting acted on information received trom the l"ederal authorities at Ottawa, as Mr. "rm proud of my wife." said he. while the Government Benches dinned applause, and a few galleryltcs even es- sayed a faint clap of hands. "She's re- lated to none of them." Time and time again Mr. Sinclair? took exception to Colonel Price's cuti. ting references. Once he asked that tsi word "small" - the Attorney-General had termed the former's action as td, "small thlng"---be withdrawn, and tuv, other time. when Colonel Price defined him "it big man." he asked that that appellation be withdrawn, too, on the ground that it had been used in an "insulting sense." Colonel Price declared that, he in- tended to administer his department without, tear or favor. and if any rela- tives of his got in the way of the law. be or she would have to take the con- sequences like any one else.
