PACE 6. P3 :g'remont Council 5 On Friday, June 25th, three separate motions 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 censure, to which the foregoing had been moved in amendment, was still awaiting decision in Parliament 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. 3 In the new Parliament, elected in October, 1925, Mr. Meighen had by far the largest groupâ€"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. 2 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. I In September, 1925, Mr. King was granted dissolution by His Excellency Lord Byng, on the representation that he must be 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. , The Conservative Party stands solid as a rock for practice, the maintenance of the British connection, enjoy the blessings of stable Government. 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. lay-Law NH. 493 to strike the rates "w “10' )‘0‘31' Hiding th'ember 31. tut-3. was g-ussmt, The rates {.1' tho 'i'nvusliip {'1‘ 1926 mm as fOiit-WS. flvaznty Rtiié‘ 9 4-“) mills; Township Harv i 3-!” milI-z (innvx'al Sclmul Hut“ 3 3-“! mills; :SpPC'ial “EH" [‘0- lim- Villagv Hubtvtn H 8-H) mills: also.

BAD EXCELLENT MEETING 8 It was Mr. King’s refusal to follow British precedent in co-Operating with the incoming administration to pass supplies and complete the sessional programme that left Mr. Meighen no alternative but to ask for dissolution. 9 Mr. Meighen followed the same course as that ad0pted by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1911, when he saw that it was impossible to carry on and abruptly dissolved Parliament. 0 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 Under Mr. King’s interpretation of the constitution a Premier need never resign, but could demand dis- solution after dissolution, despite the verdict of Parliament or the electorate, and the Governor 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 of 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.
