Free Exchange Of Arguments

Civic ailnirs, particularly with relation to the welfare and employ- ment of the laboring classes, were threshcd out at e. largely attended meeting in the Labor Union Hall last night. The meeting, which was called by the Union, was attended by the Mayor and .a number o’ candidates in the forthcoming civic contest. While lively at times, the best of order was maintained dur- ing the discussion. A11 the speakers were heard courteously and receiv- ed applause.

Mr. Arthur Gormley, president of the Labor Union, presided capably and impartially.

Press criticisms of the City Coun- cil on the ground of extravagance

Mayor Prowse, who was the first speaker. The Mayor explained that the reason why an external auditor had not been called in was that the Council was quite satisfied with the correctness of the accounts, and that an external audit would be an unnecessary expense of between l2.- 500 and $3,500. Ho had been elect- ed, he said, on c platform of carry- ing on public works, and asked what tho laborlns men would do if the City discontinued this policy.

For sixteen years, His Worship stated, the Council had felt the need of repairs to the City Hall. Last year advantage was taken of the federal unemployment grant, and the work was accomplished. The Park brcnstwozk had been under- taken because it distributed a great.- " percentage of the expenditure to labor than did the street work. 350 have been employed on this work since it was started. The Council had been criticised for this expendi- ture, notwithstanding the assist- ance it lzavo to the laboring classes.

His Worship concluded by thank- ing the citizens generally for their courtesy and co-operation during his tenure of office.

(Special to the Guardian)

NEW YORK, Feb. 4 — The action of Japan in the soauro of Manohurla and lnvaion 0f China, is, ln the opinion of Great Britain, part of a deep la'd scheme between Japan. Franco and Russia, according to J. M. Kelaworthy, former Labor member of the H0058 of Commons who arrived here last night for a six weeks lec- ture tour.

The plan he believes has five phases with tho conquest of India as the ultimate design. Great Britain and the United States, he said, would 810D Japan now, but by DUN". Ml fighting.

The embargo was originally im- posed as a measure to Drﬂvﬁht the lntroducton to Britain of the C01- OTBKIQ potato beetle. Presumably a strong factor in the Brltsh Min- istry‘s decision is that Canada has an embargo against British potatoes because of the "black wart" infest-

Tse Chih College, a well known Chinese school 1n the Japanese- occupled district; of Hongkcw, was destroyed by flames early today. Chinese said the Japanese entered

,the four-story dormitory of the school and set fire to the furniture. and then put the torch to the in- stitution's other two buildings. Fresh detachments of United States marines, brought in on tho cruiser Houston, took their places in the intematlonal settlement guard line.
