Friday, Yanpary 15th, 1926 = THE DJ DAILY BRITISH WHIG mm BOVERNMENTS MUST GOVERN BY " ((-OPERATION WITH OTHER GROUPS is Was the View Expressed In House of Commons by | Alfred Speakman, the Progressive Member for Red Deer, Alberta, Who Opposed Meighen Amendment. Ottawa, Jan. 15--In the House of Commons last night, Alfred Speak- man, Progressive, Red Deer, sald that the only method of considering the vital before parliament was to bring ordinary common sense to pear upon them, He critic ized the arent unanimity among 116 Con- atives and 101 Liberals, and ask~ t that indicated that a matter of predominant fmportance was being comsidered without political consid- erations Mr. Speakman expressed the con- viction that the acceptance of the Meighen amendment meant the és- tablishment for: all time in Canada of a precedent that axiomatically, the largest group emerging from an el- ection, must take over the reins of power, irrespective of other consid- tions. He believed that the time passed when a ruling party must e majority over all. In future, Canadian governments must govern by eo-operation with other groups. "I 'say now," sald Mr. Speakman, "that 1 intend to voté against the jssues amendment. I would bave voted against the motion of the Minister of Justice, Mr. Lapointe, because it| would have prevented parliament | from functioning. But I am not vot- | ing confidence or lack of confidence. , I would not like to vote confidence | in the Liberais or Conservatives be- | cause I am afrdid from past experi- i ence that the Liberal party would | not carry out its programme and | am afraid the Conservative party would." . Tories Seek Power Only. Hon. P. J. A. Cardin, Minister of | Fisheries, analysing Mr. Cahan's ut- terances, declared that the desire of | the Conservatives "is not to get the will of the majority in this House, | but to have chance to get on the! treasury benches," Mr. Cardin maintained that' Mr. | Cahan was in error when he said] speech heralded a programme en- | tirely at variance with the King | Government's election platform.

The time had | come for realization of many of the hopes of the people of the west. "It is no use at all," he said, "if we want to help our cffptry to help | ont a few manufactdfers in Mont- | real. Nor can we develop Canada by helping one or twe provinces. We have to help all our provinces." Turning his attention to Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Mr. Cardin declared vehemently that he would be willing at any time to measure his political | record with Mr. Guthrie's. In an argument against the appli- cation of the total election vote fig- ures as an indication of the true will of the people, Mr. Cardin said Sir George Perley for instance was not | returned in Argenteuil because of the I'record of Tory party, but on his own | personal record. When Mr. Meighen, as he had ad- mitted, proposed to raise the tariff on agricultural implements, how could it have been expected that he | could seek support from the Progres- sive corner. And as the Government's position was legal, it could not be unconstitutional. The King Govern- ment's course had been the only pro- ver one. George Black, Conservative mem- ber from Yukon, said that since Oct. 29th last, Canada had had neither a government head nor a government. At this stage of the ghey the Liberal and Progressive benches were half empty, the members' tak- ing to the lobies, there to await the bells which would call them for the division vote. ST.
