Or King held the mounting wave of criticism of his War Effort with the Promise that he would answer every charge when he met Parlia ment. Now he has deserted in the face of the enemy. He was answer Able in the House of commons where or. Manion was ready to demand an accounting for or.

Manion in a United Effort to restore responsible govern ment at More about for five months this country ration is evident but the idea that there is disunity of a serious nature in Canada is questionable. But even if it were so. The prime minister and his government must have known it Long Ere this and they should have advised the people ahead of time to be prepared for the extra Burden to be placed upon them of deciding an election on such a Short notice and especially during the present International crisis. The weather conditions and the roads at this season of the year in some of the provinces will be such As practically to disfranchised Many of our people. Surely another two or three months could not have mattered if everything is in order and it the present Federal govern ment is functioning As efficiently As its members claim it is.

Ment decide that question. 1 told it was ridiculous i was told from Many sides that i was ridiculous to think of Allowin parliament to decide the question of peace or War i gave my word to the people of this country that parliament would decide and that the extent to which Canada would participate in the War would depend upon the. Decision our own parliament and the provision that was made for it. I kept my word in that regard. Parliament did de cide. In no Uncertain terms parliament decided and gave this country the Means to carry on until another ses Sion. Now we Are confronted with a situation in which our strength and ability Are being impaired by those who seek to create distrust with respect to our Public Patrio tic efforts. There is Only one authority higher than parliament that is the people whose decision we can Trust. Just As i was prepared to Trust parliament to make a decision As Between peace and War so i am prepared to Trust the people Vith respect to their decision As to what government is to carry on during the years in which this War May be waged no easy responsibility it is not an easy or Light responsibility or. Speaker which my colleagues and i have at this time and have had during the last few 3 ears. We Are in the midst of the worst situation this world has Ever known and i am afraid that situation is going to get worse and worse. No one can. Say How Long this War is going to last. Those who seem to be Best informed Tell it is not going to be one year or two years it May be three years it May be longer than that and in regard to the countries that. May be drawn into the conflict there is danger of this War spreading to a greater extent than Ever before. So May i say that if we have to carry the grave responsibility n. Office in wartime then we want be fortified by the voice of this country expressed in no Uncertain terms and if there is any other group of men More capable of carrying on the War and Likely to do it More effectively then the people should have the right to entrust them with that great Obliga Tion. We propose to leave it to the people of Canada to say whom they wish to carry on the government of Canada in this period of world War. Funeral services held wednesday for Rev. J.
