An election was considered last sum- mer but the re-action from the country â€"culminating in the defeat of the Lib- eral Government in Saskatchewanâ€" was so unfavorable the project was abandoned.

He has executed agreements for the return of Natural resources to Manitoba and Alberta. They must be endorsed by Parliament and by the legislatures concerned. His agreement with Alberta makes no statutory provision for the rights of the Catholic minority in educational matters. Resentment is already seething in Quebec over this alleged betrayal and if the measure comes before Parliament it is doubtful. if Mr. King can command. the support of more than half his own supporters for it in its present form.
