Opposition's Hopes Shattered In Budget Vote Tone
Ottawa June 19 indicates a Unionist majority of 50 to 51 in the budget division. The McMaster amendment failed 121 to 70 while tariff proposals passed 120 to 70.

The senate moves to rescind wartime liquor orders, returning interprovincial trade to province control with Montreal as potential supply base.
