Remarks of Assistant U. S. Attorney Gen- eral Taken Up By New York Newa- paper.

(Canadian Press)

NEW YORK, Fbb. 23.—Il Pro- grease, New York Italian daily, has requested the Italian Ambassador at Washington to u ider the advis- ability of demanding from the Amer- ican Government an explanation of certain remarks by John Lord O'- Brien, First Assistant Attorney Gen- eral of the United States.

O'Brien, addressing the Union League Club in Brooklyn, Saturday night was discussing the manner in which the United States wage scale had been maintained in the face of the industrial depression. He was quoted as saying: “'I‘hank God, we do not live in a country such as It- aly, where a. dictatorship of one man can make a horizontal slice in wages." -

The Morning World says that when 0'Brian‘s remarks‘ were re- called to him after the speech, he ssld- "perhaps I made poor choice of words in expressing my idea. It was m‘ ml llllrpose to cast aspersions "P011 Italy or its rulers. I was giv- llli; expression to a contrast." The World adds tiiat Il Progreasob com- plaint was received without comment Iv the Italian Ambassador.

LONDON, Ebb Zii-The state of political stagnation into which Brit- ain has recently fallen owing to La- bor's close working arrangement with the Liberals and the division in the Conservative party, was very much disturbed today. Complaints that Britain's industrial future is being menaced by party politics are accum- ulating rapidly. Even the Sunday Times, hitherto most devctedly pro- Baldwln, is complaining that the Conservatives , are losing credit throughout the country. while J. L. Garvin noted political writer, is cry- ing “a plague to all your parties."

Representatives o f Twenty-four Coun- tries Attending Meeting in Paris.

PARIS, Feb. 23.—Europe was re- minded by Aristide Briand today that his attempt at organization was on trial when he opened the Eur- opean conference called to discover a means of disposing of an success 1930 wheat crop estimated at 3,000,- 000 tons more than requirements. The veteran Foreign Minister, auth- or of a plan for an European feder- ation, told representatives of twenty four countries attending the meeting that it would go far to determine the willingness of Europe to act as a body. “The hour has come," he said, "to prove this solidarity in which we have conﬁdence. Here we are on the threshhold of the ﬁrst experiment in this solidarity and I invite you to treasure its practical consequences and the symbolical sig- nificance it cannot fail to take in the minds of the people.

The conference named a commit- tee to determine the exact extentof this year's wheat surplus and later to consider the surpluses of corn, bar- ley and other grains. Andre Francois Poncet, French Under Secretary for National Economy, was elected Pres- ident.

Has Approached Al- most $100,000,000_ - Gigantic Task Faces Prime Minister Ben- nett, The Largest Facing Any Govt. For Quarter of Cen- tury.

(Special to the Guardian)

OTTAWA, Feb. iii-The lapping oil‘ of $60,000,000 and perhaps more, of the controllable expenditures of Canada, is the high enterprise in which the Prime Minister in his capacity as Minister of Finance is engaged. The decline in revenue ap- proached almost $l00,000,000 and this obviously necessitates a process of cutting the coat according to the cloth. It is understood that no par- tlcular dept. is singled out for the

plication of this policy, but that it will be a general one all along the line wherever it is thought possible to effect savings. The number of new public works is likely to be very con- siderably . ‘uced in comparison with recent years.

One of the branches in which savings will be effected is that of civil government and wherever, fol-- lowing numerous retirements now being effected due to the age limit, it is possible to get on without new appointments that will be done. The problem of adjusting expenditures to falling revenues, with the incidental necessity of developing new sources revenue, presents about the larg
