Constitutional Crisis The constitutional issue is pure political buncombe, designed to divert attention from the King Government's administration of the Customs Department, upon which issue it was ignominiously defeated in the House of Commons. Here are the vital stubborn facts: 1 In September, 1925, Mr. King was granted dissolution by His Excellency Lord Byng, on the representation that he must bé given a chance to secure a clear working majority. He stated at Richmond Hill that if such a majority was not forthcoming, he would not attempt to carry on. In the old Parliament thus dissolved there had been 234 members, of whom 117 were Liberals, 66 were Progressives or Independents and 51 were Con- servatives. In the new Parliament, elected in October, 1925, Mr. Meighen had by far the largest group--almost half the total membership of the House. Out of 245 seats the Conservatives had 116, the Liberals 101, the Progressives 24, Labour 2, and Independents 2. 4 Instead of immediately resigning, as he should have . done in view of the ground upon which he had been granted dissolution, Mr. King asked for and was granted leave to carry on, on the assurance that he would leave the fate of his administration to Parliament itself. , 5 On Friday, June 25th, three separate ations by so- called independents, in support of which Mr. King's Government ' marshalled its last ounce of strength, were decisively defeated and the original motion of when Mr. King asked His Excellency for dissolution - on Monday, June 28th. 6 To have granted Mr. King a dissolution under such circumstances would have been a direct denial of the right ef Parliament to pass upon the vote of censure then pending. : 7 Following Mr. King's resignation, Parliament by a majority of 10 did actually adopt a direct vote of censure on the King Government, and declared it unworthy of confidence or office. in co-operating with the incoming administration to pass supplics and complete the sessional programme that left Mr. Meighen no alternative but to ask for dissolution. { O Mr. Meighen followed the same course as that adopted by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1911, when he saw that it was impossible to carry on and abruptly dissolved Parliament. 10 If His Excellency had recalled Mr. King to office, he would have done so in the very face of Parliament's vote of censure. 1 1 Under Mr. King's interpretation of the constitution a Premier need never resign, but could demand dis- solution after dissolution, despite the verdict of - \ BAER 1 - » 8 It was Mr. King's refusal to follow British precedent A Parliament or the electorate, and the Governor General must perforce accept his advice. 208 pon-Mandoiia orenseirs. censure, to which the foregoing had been moved in , pm.--Staft concert. amendment, was still awaiting decision in Parliament 0 p.m. ----Park orchestra.
