He. said that, .as the As- sociation was for federal purposes, he preferred to leave ample time for the federal member, Mr. Lennox. Mr. Duff, however, made an. -excel-, lent speech, declaring himself an unwavering supporter of a protec-, tive tariff and opposed to reciproc- ity with the United States; He closed with a warm tributesto the -energy and ability. of Mr. Lennox and the position_ which `South Sim"- cc_>e s representative had won for himself in the House of Commons. When Haughton Lennox, K. .C.,- M.P., arose to speak, he was most enthusiastically received. He dealt exclusively with questions coming before the House of Commons dur- ing the present session. He dis- cussed the fasilure of our banking legislation to prevent `the gdefraudingi of millions of money by practises of! dishonest bank officials, and point- ed out the need of protection for the general public, the shareholder, the note holder and the depositor, and the methods by which these re- forms are to be secured, Mr, Len- nox also dealt with the importance of changing our Naturalization Act and intimated his intention. of intro- ducing legi.slation,to that effect at this session.
