(Major Achievements) Abolition of the Canadian Radio Commission; and substitution of a Canadian Broadcasting Commission based on the British system. Maple, Ont. Ottawa, June 23rd.â€"The session just concluded was more eventful than first sessions following elec- tions usually are. It sat for nearly five months, and plaCed several score measures on the statutes of Canada. Critics of the government say that the achievements of the Liberal party to date have been slight, measured against the plight of the people and the stagnation of business. Suppor- ters of it maintain that a splendid beginning has already been made to- ward better times; and that a large number of the government’s pre- election pledges have already been implemented.

No. 2 $1.00 By Wilfrid Eggleston The House spent one day toward the close on the attitude of the gnv- ernment toward sanctions, the league of nations, and mlated matters. (Asks Sanctions B-e Lifted) Mr. Mackenzie King made it quite if that should be against them, of course they cease £0 exist so far as the federal act is concerned. How- ever, the provinces could probably pass enabling or separate legislation by which boards operating wholly Within a province would be able to continue. On the question whether the mea- ‘sures governing an eight hour day, ’a weekly day of rest and minimum wages were valid, the court divided ’Vevenly. (Probably Be Appealed) There will be an appeal, it is ex- pected, to the Privy Council. Mean- while most of the legislation Will have to remain inoperative. The Mar- keting Boards will probably retain a nominal existence, bu: it is taken for granted that they will not be able to enforce their orders or col- lect tolls until a favwrabie decision is rendered by the.Privy Council, and if that should be against them, of course they cease to exist so far as The Farmers Creditors Arrange- ment Act, by wnim farmers were able to make a compromise with their creditors, was declared valid. . Parts of the National Trade and Industry Commission act were de- clared valid, part invalid. The section of the Criminal Code which permits prosecution of firms engaging in unfair trade practises. competition aimed at destroying competitors etc., was declared to be within the rights of the federal gov- ernment. The Natural Products Marketing Act was unanimously declared not to be within the competence of the fed- eral parliament to enact. This is the act under which the marketing boards for produce of various kinds have been set up. The National Employment and Health Insurance measure under which a national scheme of imming against unemployment and sickness were to be instituted was also de- clared invalid, by a majority ruiing'. (The Language Question) I The House spent a couple of days on what seemed to many outside obâ€" yserxu . a trivial issue, namely. wheâ€" ‘ther Bank of C:nada bills shmlii be printed, some m French. some in English, as they are at present; or whether they should all carry on them some ‘r'ords in both English and French. The issue, small thbugh it might appear to many, amused the most heated and passionate de- bate of the session. Messrs. Ben- nett, Lapointe, Cardin and Gardiner made eloquent and ardent addresses, the Liberals pleading that the issue of race and language be allowed to lie where it has been sleeping. In "the end two amendments failed, and "the Bank of Canada bills in future will appear with both French and English on them, just as the Post- age stamps do now. ' ‘The Supreme Court of Canada ad- ministered a severe jolt to the series of bills passed in 1934 and 1935, and collectively called the Bennett ‘New Deal’ Reform measures. ' Studies were made by the several select and standing committees of the House of Commons on the fol]- owing subjects: Marketing of Wheat Government Annuities The Cost of Farm Implements Elections and Franchise, proporâ€" tional representation and the single alternative vote, compulsory regis- tration and compulsory voting. Status of a Speaker between dis- solutiun and the convening of a new parlinment. Permissive legislation was' brought in via the Senate which would cre- ate a system of free harbour zones in Canada, where goods could be stored and trans-shipped without payment of customs duties. A number of amendments were made to the existing legislation gov- ernment war pensions. (Public Works Scheme) A public works scheme was launched to create employment, pro- viding for work in national parks, on roads leading to mining areas, on mining explorations the elimina- tion of grade crossings, the Trans- Canada highway, etc. Amendments were passed for the following Acts: Customs Act, Toron- to Harbour Commissioners Act, Copyright Amendment Act, Canada Shipping Act, Dairy Industry Act, Act Regarding Carriage of Goods by Water, the Judges Act and the Juve- nile Delinquents Act. A sum of nearly seven million d01- lars was voted to recompense farm- ers who delivered their grain to the 1930 pools and were adjudged to have suffered thereby, as compared with farmers who sold through other channels.

Canada is acutely aware of its de- pendence on world trade and world relations generally, and it will seek to assist in maintaining world peace as situations arise; the prime minis- ter said. Italy’s action in using poi- son gas and other violations of its pledges were roundly condemned by the prime minister in his lengthy statement. Canada is in favor of the League idea, but it takes a realistic View of the situation, and does not mean to be drawn into a position where Military force would automatically have to be applied against an offen- der against League orders, it was intimated. clear that in view of what has taken place, the Canadian government is instructing its delegates at the League of Nations Assembly that it is asking for a lifting of economic sanctions against Italy. This deci- sion was reached by the cabinet be- fore Britain came to an independent conclusion of the same sort. SLATS’ DIARY om m mNOPAl omAmo Cn Tod-9!. pooplo or married couples.

No mat ter how many millions are spent in supplying families with relief, home conditions will not be denoted as long as the families are permitted to occupy the kind of shacks that pass for dwellings. In Europe, par- ticularly in Denmark and Sweden, there are thousands of families liv- ing; in model apartment buildings erected by the state and rented at a 10W figure. These community dwell- ings have solved the slum problem in those" countries and there is no reason why the.0ntario government should not show the way to the rest of the Dominion in this all-impor- tant phase of social welfare. In his capacity as Minister of We]- fare, Hon. David Croll long ago real- ized that if progress was to be made in lifting the standard of poor fatn- ilies, one of the first steps. if not the first, would have to be the erec- tion of modern homes for rental at a reasonable figure. The announce- ment, made this week by Premier ‘Hepburn that the Government would do more than merely act as fin-1mâ€" cial backers of the project, is the realization of a hope that Mr. Crcll had long cherished. Premier Hepburn is Whole-heart- edly behind the plan. The leader of the government intends to see to it that the experiment is given every chance. If successful, Ottawa will again be approached and asked to render financial aid. A housing scheme on the proper scale involves a tremendous expenditure and On- tario feels that the Dominion gov- ernment should bear a share of the cost. The Minister of Welfare, by rea- son of his position, is better able to assess the value of a housing scheme than perhaps any other mem- ber of cabinet. It was because of his knowledge, gained in two years of intimate contact with the suffer- ing and hardships experienced by :1 considerable portion of Ontario’s population, that caused Mr. Croll to take a determined stand on the ques- tion. The granting of $25,000 for the erection of the homes was not considered by him to be sufficient Government participation in the pro- ject. The Welfare Minister expressâ€" ed the view that $1,500 was insuf- ficient for a proper home and he was successful in winning over his colleagues to this point of view. He also suggested that architects’ de~ signs be called for and more muni- cipalities included in the scheme. It is now proposed to erect 14 model workingmen's homes, two in each of seven suburban municipali- ties surrounding Toronto, North York, East York, York Township, Mimico, Long Branch, New Toronto and Scarboro. Instead of putting up $25,000 for the erection of 15 homes at $1,500 per home, the Government now proposes to have homes con- structed at a cost of $2,500 to $3,- 000. Architects will be called upon to submit designs on a competitive basis and upon selection of the win- ning design, an immediate start will be made with the great housing ex- periment. Extension of the housing scheme to other parts of the Province de- pends on what degree of financial assistance Ottawa intends to give. So far the Dominion Government has declined to depart from its policy of giving assistance under the Domin- ion Housing Act, but if Ontario is able to prove its own particular ex- periment, it is felt that Ottawa will revise its attitude. A new and significant development in social welfare work took place this week when the Ontario Govern- ment announced a more active part- icipation in an experimentall housing scheme. It is significant because it indicates a growing consciousness of the need of removing working class families from the hovcls they are forced to inhabit in many of the large industrial centres.
