Former Premier Henry speaks to-- , day and can bring in a new "want of ; confidence" motion or let the Legis-- lature split on the Conservative-- | CCF. amendment. Possible ob-- | stacle to the latter course is the dis-- | Inclinatior which one Conservative | member showed last year to voting for any measure sponsored by the | CCF. member.

When a matter comes up for discussion, each can-- didate for the leadership has to have his say. "Perhaps," he offered, "we on the Government side could be of help to the Conservatives in this dilem-- ma. My advice would be that you can't teach an old dog new trick=." At this obvious allusion to Hon. George Henry, the present Leader, the Conservatives stared at their desks, and said nothing. No hint of Government action was "Our own actions," he said.
