The weather man put on a special show for me the morning I arrived in Ottawa, 35 below zero and a brilâ€" liant sun, Parliament Hill was a sight, with the white snow piled high on the many drives leading in to the beautiful Gothic structure car ried out in gray stone powdered with white snow with a cold and brilliant sun over all. The session is getting under way. I didn‘t bhear but I dutifully read the four hour speeches made by the P. M. and the Leader of the Opposi tion. When I finished reading the speech of the Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, I was convinced that there was nothing right with the Government and when I finished with the speech of the Prime Minister, I was convinâ€" ced there was nothing right with the Opposition. It would be a tragedy for Canada should both the honourâ€" able gentlemen be correct in his es timation of" the party of the other. If anything I thought the Prime Minâ€" ister had the edge on the Leader of the Opposition. A cartoon in the Toâ€" ronto Daily Star, Feb. 7, expresses my opinion exactly. It is called "Pillow Cases" and shows Mr Benâ€" nett and Mr King boxing with huge gloves on labelled "Four hours and Twenty five Minutes" in the one case and "Four hours and Twentyâ€" three Minutes" in the other and unâ€" derneath "They fight hard enough but the gloves are too big to be ef fective." Two resolutions of gréat interest have been debated, the first asking the Government to assume full reâ€" sponsibility for credit and finance to be controlled in the interest of the people, and under the jurisdiction of the Federal parliament.
