Tory Politicians Fall Out

The Honourable Nosworthy amd Mr. Lysnar, M.F., engaged in verbal hostilities the other day over the treatment accorded a meat company in which ithe latter was interested by the Meat Board. Feeling rait so high that Mr. Lysnar as much as threatened" to take the life of the Mussey Government, presumably by voting against it on a no-confidence motion.

We can only conclude that due to the action of the Meat Board Mr. Lysnar has lost a lot of money, for only on matters of principal do these gentlemen ever show any inclination towards the generation of heat. We shall, watch developments with the keenest interest. The row seems to be serious, because in Ms reply Mr. Nosworthy talked about the- resignation of the Government. Swelling himself spaciously and assuming the air of a wounded innocent, he declared in tones ringing with emotion that w.hen the Government left office it would do so with dignity. (Loud applause.)
