iParliamcnt lie-opens After recess

OTTAWA. Feb. i6 —(CP) - In the midst of forecasts by would au- thorities that the war is about to enter upon its most critical stage, members of the House of Cflmmons gather here tomorrow to resume work after a 10-week recess.

At 3 p. m. ABT sittings of the second session of the 19th Parlia- ment since Confederation will resumed by the Hou-e. Member-i of the Senate are not scheduled to us- semble until March 4 unless some- thing happens meanwhile necessi- tatingmimmcdiate action in the red cham r. _

Most important of the legislative measure; lcnown to be in prepara- tion for ihe remainder of the ses- sion are those having to do with fi- nancing the war.

Whatever purely legislative pro- posals the government may be pre- paring remain to be disclosed. The speech from the throne at the op- ening Nov. '7 gave no indication. Estimates for the ordinary admin- i=tration of government. apart from the war effort, will be tabled at once, possibly the first move when the House resumes tomorrow after- noon.

It is known efforts have been made to pare these non-war expen-

is expccted to be well under $400,- 0.0000

At the afternoon sitting it is ai o expectcd a detailed account of war developmcnis since the adjournment will be given by Prime Minister MucKeiizie King.‘

It. is possible the Prime Minister will take this opportunity to give some outline of whatever new war policies the government is fonnu- iating.

A debate may re ult from this presentation by the Prime Minister. or, at least, a discussion in ivhich Conservative House Lcz-icici" Hanson and other group leaders will take part.

Debate is also pos iblc on a motion i0 be made at once b_v the Prime Minister to give priority through- out the remainder of '21s session to government motions and orders. cl- ‘niinuilni: the customary time rriven for discussion of private member re olutions.

Early action is expected on the establishment of an all-party house committee to examine nnr‘. report 011 war expenditures. This ivus pro- mfsed lust fall after it was mqucst- 0d by Mr. Hanson.

Fh-agmentary reports received here by radio said fears were felt that the conflagratiori might be a repeti- tion of the disaster of 50 years ago when half the city was destroyed in the explosion of a shiploiid of contraband dynamite.

Firemen were seeking do perately to control the flashes. and most in- habitants had been removed from the blazing areas. these reports said. Thus far only three deaths have been reported.

Among the buildings reported de- stroyed or ablaze were the custom; house, cathedral, market houses, and many buildings alum-g the boulcvrxd de Pereadii skirting the waterfront.

LONDON. Feb. 15—(CP)—- War saving is a "great double-barrelied .weap0n-\vhich "helps to bring vic- tory now. and prosperity at e end" of hostilities. Rt. Hon. Ernest Bevan. Minister of Labor and N11- tion Service. told Canadians today in n broazlczist address.

"The greater wiliinnness which the people show in placing their surplus cash, large and small. to support the war ffort. the greater is‘ the evidence of their faith in ultimate victory." Mr. Bevin said in his speech, broadcast in Canada over a national network of the Canadian Broadcasting Corpor- ation.

Is Sensible Thing

But it WIIS "not merely evidence of faith-it is a Sdllsible thing to do," M1‘. Bevin said.

"Use your money now by lend- ing it to the state to win the war and you create a great national credit for use at the end of the ivar. iviizcn will enable you to get trade going again quick y.

"What we are saving here will help us to buy goods from Canada at the end of the war, and what you save there will enable us to soil to you, and will materially con- ' tribute to maintaining a steady price level for primary producer and inaiiiifiictiircr.

"So, i1. is a great double-barrclled \\'£‘2i|JL>ll. It helps to bring victory 11011.‘, and prosperity at the end." Mr. Bevin was speaking on be- half of the Canadian war savings campaign.

“I1. is a. great privilege to have this opportiiiiitv of addressing the people of Canada," he said at the start of his talk.

“This war has produced a com- radeship throughout the British commonwealth. Whatever tendency iiiere might have been to regard ourselves as separate entities. Hit- icr lius put an end to all that. and knitted us together in a glorious common cause.

"One gets a marvellous thrill to see the Canadian boys here stand- ing on guard waiting to repel the invader should he are to attack. It is difficult to find words to ex- press the thankfulnesa inspired by this great act, on the part of the sons of Canada for the preservation of the British family of nations. "The other day we welcomed the pilots who had been trained over he plains and hills of our coun- try, comin to take ther lace in the front no for the de ence of civilization.
