Thus far we quote Mr. Grattan

In the matter of running the country into debt the King Liberals have thus beaten Laurior ton to one and ‘he made the money fly pretty live- ly in his time. Laurier always had a majority while he held power. Premier King has had t0 buy his majority in .1 dear market which accounts for the contrast. Amnreut- ly he will have to buy them again

Deapbtchcs published In yester- day's Guardian thmwjurvhor light on the conduct of the King Gov~ eminent and the kind of satlsfae Lion it gives to the country. We hope all those who are interested i_u the public welfare have read Bishop Fallows open letter to Premier King in regard to the fall- ure of the Home Bank of Toronto. That failure, which brought mis- ery and suffering to hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Bishop Fallon rightly charaotmlaes as "the most dlscredritaible stou-y ever mat-lo public int he annals a4 Canadian finance." And this occurred des- nita Government supervision. Pin- unco Ministers, and the Banker!’ Association. What was government supervision worth in the Home Ban-k case‘! it was apparently of no value at all.
