GOVERNORS-GENERAL.
QUESTION OF POWERS. CANADIAN CONTROVERSY. OTTAWA, Nov. 29. The ghost of that famous constitutional question which the Imperial Conference attempted to settle will be paraded in .the Parliamentary corridors during the coming session. The Prime Minister, Mr Mackenzie King, will hardly bo home before he will be called upon to defend and explain his position in the controversy with Lord Byng before the last election. The Conservatives will demand that he table the correspondence between himself and the Governor-General on that occasion. They charge him with having made a remarkable change of front on the constitution and say that they will prove it in the House. It is stated that, either in his letter of resignation or some other communication, Mr Mackenzie King took exception to the attitude of Lord Byng when the latter refused to grant a dissolution to tho Liberal leader last June.
