EWheat Big Topic OnHeavyAgenda At World Parley
World Economic Conference Will Discuss Regulation Of Export And Production Of Wheat, Be-
N sides Currency, Exchange And
Trade
UITAWA, lililamh 10 — (CB) -. fhe World Economic Conference which meets shortly in London will be asked to consider the ques- tion of regulating the export or the production of wheat, accord. ing to the agenda, prepared by the mimission of experts, which was tabled by the prime minister in the House of Commons here re- cently. An international arrange- ment on this point would be par- ticularly important, says the agen- iie. in view.of the fact that the cirltivation of wheat represents the livelihood of a large proportion of mankind.
Abolition of exchange restric- tions, greater freedom in interna- lionai trade, and reconsideration of
Problems.

King Amendment To Railway L e g i s - "lation Ruled Out 0f Order.
(Canadian Press) OTTAWA, March 10—-(By The Canadian Pressl-Llberal members of the House of Commons moved in a. general attack on the Gov-
ernment's railway legislation today v
but lost the first skirmish. Speak- er Black unexpectantiy rose dur- ing a lull in debate and ruled out of order the asnendment to the
W111 0W1 111m hm f° mlmuiiwillr” bill proposed last night by m. Hon. lMackenzie King and was upheld
by the House 88 to 35.
Ten Progressives joln"d the Con- servatives in supporting the speak- er's decision that the King am- endment contravened several rules of the House. It would have de- layed second reading of the Bill until the House went on record as opposing amalgamation of the Ca- nadian National and Canadian Pa- cific Railways.
Leading the attack on the Bill was Hon. James Malcolm, former Mhister of Trade and Commerce. He protested against establishing a permanent "Communistlc or au- tocratic contro" by one man over the Canadian National Railway when it was the victim, like every industry, of s temporary business breakdown and he asked where the Government would find its super- man to operate the system, "ai- ways remembering super-men gen- erally turn out to have feet of clay."
OTTAWA, March 10—-Hon. James Malcolm, former Minister of Trade and Commerce continued debate in the House of Commons today on the Government's Railway Legislation. It implements the recommendations of the Duff Commission on trans- portation.
He did not think, said Mr. Mal- colm, that members of the Dufl I ommisison knew any more than did the meinbe

(Canadian Press) . HALIFAX, March 10—Appiica- tion for leave to proceed under the Dominion ivlndmg-up act and» request for appointment of a liqui- dator for the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company was before Mr. Jus- tice Humphrey Melllsh here wday.
The Company now is under re- ceiver-managership of the Eastern Tnrst Company and Gordon W. Scott, Montreal. '
C. B. Smith. K. (1., who with H. P. MacKeen. represented D. C. Sinclair, K. 0., of New Glasgow, a security holder and pettioner, p.1- leged the Company was insolvent and that the best interests of the creditors would be served by hav- ing the company's affairs handled under the winding-up act instead of under the bankruptcy act.
iilIr. Smith declared the matter urgent, and askcd that it be treat- ed as an ex-part: motion (a mot- ion in which only one side is
'heard). It was around this point
that most of the argument arose. C. B. Burchell, K. 0.. who with J. Gordon Fogo appeared for the Company. submitted that it should not be an cx-parte proceeding. H9 declared he was entitled to four days‘ notice and asked for a con- tinuance so he could consult his‘ principals.

They were that Canada must have railways; that motor transport was here to stay and that the Treasury could not continue to pay a deficit of $1,000,000 a week on the Canad- ian National Railways.

PEIPING, China, March 10— Jhlang Kai-Slick, China's highest ranking military officer, took over direct command of the forces of the I North today and immediately or- clered a division mm the bathe‘ with the Japanese in the area of Kupeikoiv, the Great Wall Pass on the main highway from Jehol City to Peiping.
(A dispatch from Chinchow. Manchurls, said Japanese heed- quarters there had announced Ma- jor General Tadashl Kawaharas brigade had completed occupation of Kupcikoiv this afternoon).
Marshal Chlang became military overiord of North China in succes- sion to Marshal Chang Hsiao- Liang, xvhose resignation was ac- cepted and who will retire to pri- vate life, it was announced, sur- rendering his rnoznbershlp imthe Nanking Government councils as well as his army posts.
In the cvcnt the young Marshal sticks to his decision to remain in private life, he will leave a. huge force of poorly paid and poorly equipped Manchurians whose alleg- iance to Chiang Kai-Shck remains to be proved. This force totals about 150,000 men and is mostly concentrated south of the Great Wall.
The fact that the allegiance of the Manchurians to Marshal Chiang has not yet been established is considered in many quarters to raise the possibility of civil war in the vicinity cf Peiplng. In addition there are increased speculations concerning future Japanese activ- ities south of the Great Wall. The Japanese have indicated that if re- prisnls are taken against their Na- tionals south of the Wall they will be compelled to take military ac- tion.
Marshal Chang's decision to abandon his high position in North China resulted from a conference yesterday with Chlang Kal-Shek and T. V. Soong, the Finance Min- ister, a Government spokesman said. The spokesman asserted the resignation was "final and irrevoc- ablc, despite conflicting reports to the contrary."
It was indicated thc withdrawal of Marshal Chang was the begin- ning of a general realignment in North China with the National Government taking coniplclc con- trol.
