Still Unsealed

General McNaughton, still functioning as Minister of Defence without a seat in Parlia- ment, is once again in the headlines, this time by reason of a survey he is making into the shipping facilities of the harbor of Quebec. The General, notes the Sytlflf‘)! Port-Record, is thus living up to the threat he made in Grey North five months ago that he would continue to carry on as Canada's Minister of Defence even if he ‘never got a scat in the House. Since the North Grey incident, Mr. lllcNaughton scored a sec- ond and even more disastrous electoral defeat in QtfAppelle, Saskatchewan, where he ran a poor third in a triangular contest oit june II. He is now doing his tenth month as holder of the most important military portfolio in Can- ada's War Cabinet without representing any constituency in Parliament. This breaks all records of Ministerial irrcsptwtsibility since the Family Compact era which terminated in Can- ada more than a century ago.

It will be interesting to see what, if any- thing. Mr. King proposes to do about it when he is himself once more seated in the House as leader of a Government "without an official Parliamentary majority.
