Committing “Guilty And Fateful Error” In Resisting Clamor For Territory.

consider Its Pa claims on Tunisia.

Djibouti and the Suez Canal she

was committing "guilty end fate-

ful errors

Besides agitation over Tunisia. France's North African protector- ate, and Djibouti. French Somali- land terminal of the railroad t0 Addis Ababa. Italian clamor has been raised for a share in control of the Suez Canal.

Gayda accused France of diplo- matic errors such as "carried the drama of Prague .to its final epilogue" -the Munich Accord and dismemberment of Czecho-Slovakia.

"The errors committed by the Government of Prague were of three kinds." the Fascist Editor

"wrote in ‘the newspaper La Vooe

Dimlia. ‘They were: blind in- transigeanoe. a belief that Ger- many wes isolated and intrigues on every front and with every means to create alarm over the trend of event; in Czecho- slovakia." '

‘do. declared "Xntmnslgeanoe arose at once in Paris sin-st the Italian claims. even be ore they were defined 1n spirit and substance. “Intrarsigeance does not coin- cide with an intelligent policy. It is only the means of changing a movement's direction or of rein- forcing it —never of halting it." Gsyda disputed French assertions that Italy's aspirations were not, supported by Germany. Not only had such a stand been denied by official German sources, he said.

. but it will, "as 1n last October. be

denied by facts if events should have to quicken their course."

False Accusations

The editor accused France of atto ting to create the impres- sion hat an aggressor is at her door by spreading false rumors regarding Italian troop movements.

La Voce also published reports of new "outrages" against Italians in Tunisia, including attacks on Italian citizens and buildings.

The Italian community there was reported to have organized patrols to protect its country- men and property in fulfillment of an earlier warning that “legitimate measures of defence would be tak- e

n."

"Despite huge sums of money and the disposition of organizers." La Voce said. efforts have failed to foment anti-Italian demon- strations among native Moslems 1n Tunisia,

Mackenzie King

“Unnatural Political Alliance” Oi Quebec And Ontario Premiers Seen Threat To Canadian Unity.

PORT ARTHUR, Ont., D during the past few weeks a ation to force the retirement King from the national lead

ec. l1(C. P.)—-A charge that conspiracy had been in oper- of Prime Minister Mackenzie ership of the Liberal Party

was made by Hon. Norman Rogers Minister of Labor and

Hon. CJD. Howe, Minister of here Saturday night. They charged that the “

Transport, at a mass meeting

unnatural political alliance”

of Premiers Hepburn of Ontario and Duplessis of Quebec planned to oust Mr. King from the leadership “with the evident purpose of setting up a Government at Ottawa which would be largely controlled by the provincial gov- ernments at. Toronto and Quebec.”

“The conspiracy has failed,” said Mr. Rogers, “because it was against loyalty and against decency and dignity in the conduct of public affairs.”

Both ministers branded the “unnatural political

alliance” of Hepburn and Du

plessis as “the greatest single

threat to Canadian unity at this time."

Mr. Howe, present member of Parliament for Port. Arthur. was rue-nominated to contest the seat at the next Federal election.

“Constant Sniping"

In explaining why the Domin- ion Government had remained silent up to now despite the con- stant snlplng and sneering from two provinces,” Mr. Howe said Prime Minister King had at all times placed the unity of Canada above "all other considerations." This was particularly necessary during the rlod of international crisis throug which the world had passed. Mr. King has also been ho eful that personal and party di erences coulcl be "eventually submerged in the larger and more urgent cause of national unity."

"But," said Mr. Howe. "all such hopes seem now to have been de- stroyed. The time has come for plain speaking. Ottawa can no longer remain silent 1n the face of such dangerous underground plot- ting."

"It would be a sorryeven atragic day for this proud dominion if such an ill-conceived undertaking were permitted to succeed." he d8- clared and went on to state that when the very basis of responsible Government was threatened, Ot- tawa's only recourse was to place the situation before the people and ask for their judgment.

The mass meeting was presided over by L. J. B Bolduc. Presl- dent of the Port Arthur City Lib-

“ eral Association. The only other

speaker was Dan Mcfvor, M. P. of Port William.

lvfr. Rogers in his address said the alliance was not merely an understandin between Igremiers on provlncia matters. " is al- liance has its basis," he declared, "1n personal and political animos- itles and in the apparent desire of two men to gain power over nut- ional affairs."

"It may be. however." he added. "that having failed in this first attempt. Mr. Hepburn and Mr. Duplessls were ready-and per- haps are still ready-to make overtures to Dr. R. J. Manlonihe Cnnservatlve leader, with the same object cf using provincial forces and political organizations to control the national government. If they makctheso proposals I should be greatly surprised if Dr. Mnnlon will accept their support of the terms in which it is offer- ed."
