us to why Northern British Coltmbia

is by no means the only Liberal that
has been jumping on the government
this session. Even cabinet ministers,
nnd ex-cabinct ministers have been
wide open in their eriticlsms and have
several times voted agninst the gov-
ernment, All this of course ts not at
all as serious as it may seem. The
government has too many members
and that is-always dangerous, and a
lot of the criticism may be just by-
play. But the Premier may awaken

all parties concerned. One Liberal. in
