CONDEMNED AS INEFFICIENT
ONTARIO LEGISLATURE
TORONTO, January 18,
The Premier of 'Ontario, Mr. M. F. Hepburn, today tabled in the Provincial Legislature a motion condemnatory of the Canadian Government's prosecution of the war and announced that he would resign if the motion were defeated.
Mr. Hepburn, who in the past few weeks had apparently ended the truce in which he refrained from attacks on the Federal Government, to which he has been bitterly opposed for a long time, resumed a running fire against the Federal Government's war effort, alleging that many of the recruits have contracted tuberculosis on account of insufficient clothing, and generally deriding as slow and inefficient Canada's war efforts.
The Conservative Leader, Mr. George Drew, associated himself with ' Mr. Hepburn's criticism,
The Legislature passed the motion by 44 votes to 10. Ten Liberals voted against the motion, and the Conservatives voted solidly, with the remainder of the Liberals, in favour of it.
