A Big Effort It was one of the strongest speeches which has yet been delivered and will rank as one of the big efforts of th debate.

It was a speech hugely enjoyed by the house. Mr. Bennett has a flow of language equalled only by Hon. George E. Foster.

He is witty, his slmllles are clever, and his biblical and literary references are apt. But it is at repartee that he excels. He was considerably heckled by the Liberals, for his speech was more than a defence of the Borden government" naval proposals, It was a vigorous attack on the whole attitude of the Liberals on the treme.

The Recommendations Among the principal recommendations are: First, the setting aside of certain areas for ranching purposes containing upon Inspection not more than twenty-five percent of agricultural land, the larger districts to be situated in southern Alberta and southern Saskatchewan.

C. R. Mitchell, minister if public works, replied to the effect that the bill had been dratted with all fairness to both parties. After all, he said, the bill was a matter of general policy with which the legislature should be able to deal without the assistance of Mr. O'Rrlen's deputation.
