Saturday _was a 'short day in the Legislature. The

eleven, and at noon the House adjourned till three o’cloelr to-morrow afternoon. Before the House opens forV,public business to-morrow, it will discuss the employment of returned soldiers, a matter which was brought up by Mr Hughes. The Premier explained that at this stage the question was a delicate one 'to handle and it was not in the interest of the returned soldiers that their individual claims for employment should be discussed in public. Mr Hughes readily assented to this. Mr Hughes also had several ques- tions on the order o`f the day, but was reminded' that it was unusual to bring do\vn papers before the address to His Honour the Governor had been agreed to, he acquiesced in the suggestion that the answers should be delayed. _

Hon. A. E. Arsenault, who was on the floor when

tlie_ debate was adjourned on Friday, concluded his speech. He directed his attention to the question raised by the _Opposition-_What was the reason of the Governmcut's reduced majority? The Opposition had suggested it was due to the fact that the people were dissatisfied with the Government's legislative record, but Mr Arsenault had no difficulty in disproving this allegatioii. He showed that there were three satis- factory explanations. First, history proved that a Gov- ernment that came in with a big majority experienced the swing of the pendulum, and that, as parties were pretty evenly divided, the normal inajority of any Government was small; second, a party out of power for twenty years, necessarily suffers on its first appeal to the electors through its inability to provide offices for many of its deserving followers; third, the Govern- ment undoubtedly felt the effects of the campaign of slander and misrepresentation indulged ill by the Opposition. Mr Arsenault might have added a fourth reason, viz., the introduction of the ballot. Many voters who would have supported the Government in an open poll, took advantage of the ballot to stab it in the darlc-and_ many of these were officials whom the Dominion and local Government had retained in office. '

l\lr W. Ill. Lea followed Mr Arsenault and devoted

the greater part of his speech to agricultural matters. Mr Lea is a clear thinker, a fluent speaker, and thoroughly at home on the subject of dairy-fanning. Mr Lea at the outset deprecated the prevalent idea that farmers were well off financially and argued that commensurate with the capital invested, they were very poorly remunerated indeed. He took exception to the introduction of tile drainage, asserting that the naturg of our soil was such that surface drainage was all that was necessary.: He illustrated his contention by personal experience on his own farm. \Vhat Mr Lea neglected to point out: however, was that alllthc farms are not so advaiitageousl” situated as his happens to be. There is a very large area where surface drainage, such as he found adequate in his own case, has been tried and has proved an utter failure. It is only in places where surface drainage has been found iinpracticable that the Government propose to recomineild the introduction of tile drain- age. Mr Lea, who is one of our/foremost dairy- fHrm0rS, and a well-kno\vn authority. on all that per- tains to the subject, did not approve of the Govem- ment advocating and assisting in the/ development of

Germany has been making des-

perate efforts to detach Italy from the ranks of the allies. This was learned today when the super-war council of the allies, one of the most Important conferences ln t he history met. for its flrst session at the foreign office. _

The ltalliln prime minister and foreign mlnlster consequently received tre- mendous ovatlons an route to the foreign otllcc today.
