NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION
Sir,—ln common, I suppose, with tho great majority of your reader's, I was astonished to find that Mr. Mac Donald, Leader of the Opposition, has given notice of his intention to challenge the' existence of the Government by moving an amendment of no-confidence during tho Address-in-Reply debate. Tho leader of the Liberal Opposition has so often intimated, in tho. interviews that weTe arranged for him by tho Press and telegraphed to all tho leading papers of the Dominion, his intention of assisting the Government in perfecting its legislation, aud to encourage, rather than embarrass, Ministers, in the difficult busi< ness of repatriation and after-war construction, that many people have accepted his statements at their face value. Now, disillusionment has come. Tho old game of the "outs" and tho "ins" is apparently to be played over and over again in the present Parliament, with the consequent waste of much time and patience, which ought to bo devoted to the work lying ahead of Parliament. There is nothing quite so little in this world as the. littleness of mankind, and especially the littleness of the party politician.—l am, etc., DISAPPOINTED.
