The committee is not convinced by the arbiLrar_v stand taken by the Minis- ter a_e`ainst the feasibilit_v of trade in beef killed in Canada, shipped to El1_L ,`l(lIl(l and retailed in 1-1 days on a par with the `home-killed beef of Scotch and Em.-`lisli .butchors.

I have never known him to fail to say. exactly what he thorught, and in` times of stress and trouble his cour- age never deserted him. He fou: best when ghltzing with his back -to the wall, and I always admire him for it. a giovernimen-t, when Sir James Wlhitney dominated affairs, convinces me that never has there been such unswerving loyality as I have -to-day at the hands of the Conse1'va.tive party. I appreciate that more than I can r2\:vpre.=s. I have tried to tell you -that I have no special interest in advocating` one policy more thanl another.
