"Be it Therefore ‘Resolved that in the opinion of this Assembly the shooting of geese and bnnt in this Province is only practicable in the spring and then only for a very short period and that the prohibition in this Province o! the spring shouting of these birds is not only wholly uri- necessa y for their protection but on the other hand operates as a dis- crimination again this Province in that it amounts to practically a total prohibition of the shooting of these birds at any time, and this Assembly is strongly oi the opinion that this Province should be excepted from the operations of the said Act in so far as the season for shooting of geese and brunt is concerned but that the present Provincial Game Laws or similar regulations regard- ing the shooting of migratory birds should be adequately enforced and that this would aiiord ample protec- tion to the birds and would suffici- ently conform to the spirit of the slid Federal Act and the treaty upon which it is based.

"Fiu-ther resolved thav a commit- tee of this House be nan-ed for the p-irpose oi’ preparing a mam rrial to be presented. to the House of Corn- mons setting forth the facts embod- ied in this resolution."

i-‘irst reading was given to an Act respecting federal relief of unem- ployment, also an Act to provide for the administration of an Old Age Pensions scheme.

Hon. Mr. Stewart said that early in . the session a question had been ask- ed with regard to any correspondence between this Government and the Federal Government on Old Age Pensionsfrhe answer was that there was no such correspondence. Hod

is the wrong time now to consider increasing the charge.

Mr. Allen thought the members oi the House should also be consulted in the matter.

Hon. Mr, Wright said the Legisla- ture could not go back on its agree- merit.

Premier Lea thought in the cir- rumstances the motion should be withdrawn. The private bills com- mittee should have discharged its iluty in the first place.

Dr. blacliillan repudiated the sug- irstion that the private bills com- mittee had not discharged its duty properly.

The mutter was further discussed. by Mr. Campbell, Dr. Mclileili and others.

(Canadian Press)

UITAWA. Ont. Abril 24-—Design-

ed to facilitate prosecution of per-

sons operating radio receiving sets

without a. license. an amendment to, the Canada Evidence Act was pass-

ed by the House of Commons todayx‘, Hitherto in order to prove a person

had no license the Government bad

to present departmental records in

court. It was expensive and practi-

cally impwsible to have officers of: the Government travelling over the

country with reooriihooks m attend

such trials. The amendment, spon-

sored by Hon. Hugh Guthrie. Min-

ister of Justice, provides that the fact that a person has no license, may be proved by the affidavit of i the officer in charge of the records.

This will be only prima facie evtdl enoe, however. and will be capable‘ of rebuttal by other evidence.

In the past it has been p0sible3 to prove In entry record by affidavit. ‘the amendment makes it possible to prove the absence of an entry. Mr. Guthrie explained, the large rium-i ber of persons owning radio sets‘ and the number of charges made, the change desirable. There was no? opposition. .
