Montreal S e n a t o r Fears For Dominion In Event Of War.

(C.l'. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, March 3-V<JiCil‘ig al- arm that Canadws naval defence was inadequate, Scmitor C.C. Bili- lantyne (Cons. Montreal) submit- ted in the Senate today that Call- adian delegates to next summer’: Imperial Conference in London should seek an assurance from the United Kingdom the D0illlilI0ll'S seacoasts and sen routes will be protected should another great war break out.

The position of Canada ivas scr- ious, the former Marine Minister declared. The four “almost use- less" destroyers now p0S50SS€d by the Dominion would be futile in

protecting the country's scacoast from attack. . He believed _the Government

should have made provision for three cruisers, a flotilla of four destroyers and a flotilla of four submarines in view oi world con- ditions. The provisions should fol- low the ‘i019 recommendations of the late Admiral Jellicoe, made af-

' ter visiting Canada.

As this had not been done in the militia appropriations tabled in the Commons, the Montreal Sena- tor urged assurance should be sought at the Imperial Conference when defence would be on thi- ag- enda, that Canada would be af-

forded protection.

Opposition P a r t i e s Unite In Supporting Bennett Non-Confi- dence Motion.

(CI. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, March Zi-Opposition members today laid down a bar- rage of criticism on the King Gov- ernment's record with respect to unemployment as the budget de- bate continued. Conservative, Co- operative Commonwealth Federat- ion and Social Credit members Joined in the attack and the un- employment problem was ap- proached from various viewpoints.

J. S. Woodswortii, C.C.F. leader, and W. F. Kuhl (SC-Jasper-Ed- son) both announced their inten- tion of voting for the amendment to the budget motion, proposed yesterday by Conservative Leader Bennett, which the Government had Iailedtotake effective measures to reduce un- employment.

Had Mr. Bennett not moved the amendment he would have done so himself, said Mr. Woodsworth. A few years ago he had supported the Liberals when they attacked the Bennett Government in the same way. Now he was support- ing the Conservatives.

Although tho C.C.F'. believed un- employment would never be solved without changes in the economic system, Liberals believed they could do away with it under the present system. Mr. Woodsworth said. It was their responsibility to do so but after 16 months in office un- employment was ' causing just as much suffering as ever.

As long as goveniments tried to solve unemployment by finding Jobs for people they would never succeed, Mr. Kuhl told the House. Industry could never provide em- ployment for all the people. A way had to be found to bring to nil the people the benefits of labor-saving machinery and provide for greater leisure instead of more work.

Denton Massey (Cons. Toronto- Greenwood) quoted figures to show unemployment had not appreciably diminished although employment had increased with improving trade. Some artificial stimulus was needed to pick up the slack i. tween uncmployinent and business recovery.

T. A. Thompson (Cons. Lanark) said changes in the United King- ilom trade agreement would injure Canadian manufacturers. He also regretted no provision had bccn mode in the budget to protect Canadian farmers against impor- tation of vegetable oils.

Reductions in tariff, did not nec- essariiy mean lower prices to the consumer but they (lid mean lower wages for the worker and in some cases higher prices for the consumer.

Mr. Thompson said a year ago the present government had rc- duccd tariffs on farm implements and furniture. Prices of bpo_ d

Protestant leaders hesitated to comment on the suggestion of Hans Kerri, minister for church ufialrs, that “compulsory measures" migni be necessary unless church lands for small settlers were surrendered
