i Certain Powers, Eden Says.

“Such differences are a legitimate mettcr of opinion in a country that is still free. It should be possible for such discussions to be carried on without charges 0A war-mong- ering being bandied to and fro. For the truth is that no one in this country outside a lunatic asylum wants war.

“some oi us would have der- red that this country aho have taken a more positive line in re- Spect to events in the Mediterran- ean in the last six months. Wheth- er We were right or wrong a matter of opinion."

After declaring it was not true to say a defence o. legitimate British interests or of the standards of in- ternational decency would endang- er peace, Eden continued:

“Some discussion which has rec- ently taken place on the interna- tional situation seems to be based on the view that for this country the only alternative to retiring in good order is to advance provoca- tively fo the attack.

"But this of course is not. so. There ls e. third and to my mind preferable course—-—to make it clear that our polic must be conditioned bfy certain p nciglles oi interim- tonal conduct w ch we have al- ways upheld and from which we cannot depart."

'I‘o adopt this course, Eden argued would not be to take a “pedantic or vaguely idealistic" attitude, but simpl to view the situation from a. pract cal standpoint, "for unleaa in- tematioiial standards and prin- ciples are the same, confusion is inevitable and may even have dis- astrous fionsequentw."

Bu NORMAN CAMPBELL

Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA, July 7-—(CP) —The National Conservative Party wrote a new platform today, the first since the 1927

Winnipeg convention directed the party on The general tenor of the platform,

its course. drafted at the

National Convention here, was a restatement of many tra-

ditional party policies.

It sped down new roads on some

subjects. On one issue, revision of theconstitution, the

stand was “wait and see”.

The convention sailed into troubled waters at various times and on divers subjects but always where there was division, the resolutions committee report, presented by Hon. R. B. Hanson of Fredericton, was adopted by over-

whelming majorities. rzuvrv POLICY OUTLINED

.

Highlights of the statement of part/y policy by resolution were:

Defence-Defence of Canada can best be promoted by consultation and co-operation with all members

the British Commonwealth oil atlons. '

Railways-Opposition to any plan for unification or amalgamation of the Canadian National Railways am‘ the Canadian Pacific Railway.

iiighway-Completion of the trans-Canada highway as a. ha. tional undertaking, r

Imimigr-ation-l-Immlgration of . se- lect families from Great Britain. Ireland and France. Endorsation of the exclusion of Orientals from Canada.

Tarifl-—“Continued adherence to the Conservative party's traditional policy of sustaining by fiscal pro- tection Canadian lnbnr and Carm- dian industries. cspccizllly the pri- mary industries of agriculture, or- astrv and mining."

Constitution—"'I'he party reserves its decision on the constitutional issue until the report of the royal commission on federal-provincial relations is made."

Axflculture — "The Conservative party pledges itself to preserve the home market for the Canadian farmer by protection and early marketing and every other means in its power."

Unemployment-fine institution of projects to develop natural resour- ces. A comprehensive plan of fed- eral public works. A self-liquidat- ing housing program. A non-parti- san department of government to administer relief. Cooperation with the provinces in apprenticeship subsidies, “to encourage and support throughout Canada a plan oi na- tional unemployment and retire- ment insurance." h

t e

Without discussion fr om

disturbed. the convention shut one door on the past when unanimous- ly it adopted the first recommen- dation of the resolutions commit- tee. This substltuted for the his. Lory-laden name “Liberal Conser- vative Party of Canada," the name “National Conservative Party.“

Amendment Defeated

The convention moved on to the

defence issue. The resolution re- affirmed Canada's loyalty to the Croovn and said Canada's defence and the preservation, bur-liber- ties could best be sei- by consul- tation and oil-operation. with all other members of the British Com- lnonwezllth.

Reynolds Butler of Montreal im- mediately jumped to his feet witn an amendment calling for a refer- endum before any troops should be sent from Canada in the case of hostilities. Pleas were made by Mr. Butler and by Victor Barre of Montreal, who seconded the a- mendment. .

‘There was no surprise at the a- mendment being moved because it generally was known the Quebec delegates in caucus had decided to ask for a positive statement of pol- icy in regard to sending troops from Canada.

Mr. Barre contended it was un- fair to Canada to leave its fate to the peace-and-war decisions of any British Government that might be in power. He approved the Cham- berlain policy but a socialist ad- ministration might embark on ven- tures of no interest to Canada.

LONDON. July 7-Priine lVilli- ister Chamberlain told the House of Commons today that ‘he Gov- ernment hm called upon General Franco, Spanish Insurgent, leader, for further explanation regarding attacks on British shipping in the Mediterranean ports of the Span- ish Government.

Mr. Chamberlain said also that sir Robert i-iodgscn, British com- mercial ent at Burgos, who brought eneral Franco's latest remain at hon-w until a reply is received to the new British note.
