ROME, March 20—The eyes of official Italy turned toward Paris tonight as Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald's train crossed the frontier, carrying to Premier Dale.- dier of France the Mussolini peace plan. The plan would embrace the entire continent of Europe and, to a certain extent, the llnited states.

More optimism was felt here

than usual over French agreement of the confidence expressed by Mr. MacDonald and the cordial spirit evidenced by Henry de Jouvenel, tllo French Ambassador, after he had telephoned the contents of

The eight survivors are evenly divided as regards political affilia- tions. Hon. D. G. McKenzie, was first elected in 1920 as a farmer la- bor candidate, occupies the speaker's chair. Hon. Albert Parsons, min- ister without portfolio and former speaker; R. H. Butts, K.C., and Arch Teri-is sit on the government side of the house. Mr. Parsons is the veteran cf the lot. having been el- ected first in 1900. Mr, Butts came down from Cape Breton in 1911, and his droll wit has enlivened the Fed-

‘ Two To Unemployment

I Relief Measures

(Canadian Press)

i OTTAWA, March zfi-Thc Gov- ; ernment proposed two amend- ments to its Unemployment Relief Legislation today in the I-louse of Commons. The first would enable the Dominion to accept securities from Provinces for loans and ad-

’ vances. ‘The second would provide

blanket power for "peace, order

i and good government" in Canada. '| The original resolution read: l “That it is expedient 0o introduce

a measure to continue in force the provisions of the Relief Act, i932, until the 31st March, 1934." Last week an amendment was moved providing that the money , to be paid for direct relief for the coming fiscal year ending March 81, 1934, would not exceed the sumof $20,000,000. , A further amendment was mov- ed by Hon. R. J. Manicn, Minister ‘of Railways and Canals, at the

reopening of discussion this aitcr- ‘

noon, adding the words:

"That provision should be made for accepting securities from tllo provinces for such loans, advances.

(Canadian Press)

VANCOUVER, March 20.—Carbon monoxide poisoning is believed to have taken the lives of fi-w. persons found dead this morning fn the gasoline launch "J. B." in the North arm of Burrard Inlet.

The boat was found adrift by two loggers. The cabin door was closed tightly and the bodies lay inside. The boat was towed to the Buntzen Power House of the British Colum- bia Electric Railway Company, and tilc bodies taken ashore.

The one meagre clue to identific- ation of the party was a war medal found near the bodies‘, bearing the name "Private W. Cross." Posture of the bodies indicated the family died while asleep.

Police are making a check of all camps and houses in the neighbor- hood to discover if the family had been residing on the Island. The Island is an isolated spot situated near the head of the North Arm of Burrard Island and frequented oc- casionally by logging operators.

A Provincial Police patrol boat to» night set out for the Lake Buntzcn plant to which point the bodies were removed. Word of the tragedy reached Vancouver over private tel- ephone lilies of the Company today.
