Rebellion Gains Ground A“ v- ------ _ In fact, this legislator intimated, Premier Duplessis already has the makings of a little House civil war in that enormous National Union majority of hisâ€"and he knows it. Proving the old- adage that too big a. majority equals no majority at all, the Quebec Government supporters are lining up under cover into a schism, which, if it came into the ‘open-iwould make the national Union label highly ironical. Mr. Leduc, former Montreal Alder- man. and a civil engineer cf outstand- ing. ability, has in recent months obe- cafe the leader of”: malcontent bloc, which this M.L.A. says numbers 20 odd» members. This discontent has been apparent even in the early days of. the last session, despite the solid ‘support accorded Government meas- fures'. Lately, however, it has doubled iit threat by acquiring a responsible iand capable chief. Mr. Lieduc is no hothead and no re be]; if He were, there’d be little sup- port for him. He is a feel business man. somethimes impatient of politics but himself an able politician and he has a. distrust of unorthodox depai i,- ‘ures in either business or government V Behind him according to today’sl information has ralied a group which ranges from oldâ€"fashioned ex-Con- servative members to newfiedged Na- tional Union men which are afraid of complete break with Federal Circles might mean political suicide. And they are confident they can make the Government say “uncle” on any pro,- ject of which they disapprove. The Hepburn alliance is one. ROYALTY DID NOT FORGET SIRJOHN A.

John A. The Prince had attended service on a Sunday morning in St. George’s Cathedral after which he had been driven by Mr. Nickle, to Catararqui Cemetery. I had one of those big touring cars ‘Nickle said, Thousands of people had drove the Prince to the cemetery. I remember the day well, because the top was up on the car and the Prince had asked that it be lowered. Crowds had lined the streets, and the Prince did not want to disappoint them. “I was just 24 years old when I attended Sir John A.’s funeral.” 51$ continued. “Although Sir John was a. most astute politician, he held very strict ideas about religion, and it was at his own request that he was bur- ied among the people he knew and that his grave was marked only by a simple cross. That is why the little cross marks his grave.” ’fi-vns of the Riyal Milituy Cul- leg‘e had formed a guard of honor for Sir John A. while he lay in state in the city Building in Kingston, Mr. Nickle said. Thousads of people had passed through the building to see him. Several of the cadets fainted with the ordeal.
