MORE WORK-LESS TALK
When the Hon. J. A. Hanan said that ho supposed the present session -would go on record as the most useless and barren, and the most unbeneficial session they had had, he condemned not merely the Government but all sections of the House. Members have spent weeks already in fruitless debates. They continue to argue hotly about lesser things^ For this they have no excuse. There are measures drafted and waiting their consideration. Not all of these Bills, it iB true, are of first importance; but if the House will not do the work that is at hand, how can it complain that more is not given? We confess to disappointment that the Government is. apparently not ready to proceed to settlement of some greater policy issues; but we are compelled to admit that the preelection session is not the best tune for a big programme. The leadership and the party position also furnish a colourable excuße for avoiding more contentious measures. In the circumstanoes members would be well advised to do the work which must be done, to faoe the electors, and to give the country an opportunity to select a Parliament which will have brighter prospects oi doing something and fewer excuses for doing nothing.
