pressed by the Canadian member of the committe an: which has led to the reference to the pro- posal as s. Carad‘an proposal-rep- ressntcd only his own personal op- inion ind his views as a member of the committee-and not the views of the Canadian Govern- merit.

"The general position oi Canada in relatfon to the conflict between Italy and Ethiopia and in relation to the action which is being taken by the League of Nations in re- spect thereto has already been stated in a communication given to the press by (he Prime Minister of Canada on Oct. 29 oi this year.

‘fin the mseliws oi tho council and assembly of Learuc in tho early part of October the member states joined a‘moat unanimously In accepting the conclusion that Italy had resorted to war in violation oi its ‘ligations under A'tiole 2 of the Covenant (of the League) and was considered tilt-ro-

, by to have accepted the obligation

of applying against Italy salic- tions ea provided under Article i6 of the Covenant. Canada under direction oi the previous adminis- tration had participated in that action. i

"A coordinating committee oi the council and assembly submit- ted to the Government oi the L:a'1uc' five spcrlfic proposals:

(l) Prohibition of the export cl arms and munitions to Italy;

(2)~ Prohibition of loans and credits to Itafy;

(S) Prohibition of all imports from Italy. .

(d) Prohibition oi exports to Its oi certain key-commodities use ul for military operations;

(b) Provision for mutual assist- ance ln_ contingencies arising out of the application oi economic sanctions"

There followed s. long quotation from the Oct. 20 statement in which the Government declared its “continued and firm adherence to fundamental aims and ideals‘ of the league of Nations and its in- tenfon to make participation in the League the cornerstone oi its foreign policy in the general field.’

Quoting further from the earlier announcement the statement rev called that "successive Canadian Governments had opposed the vlcw that the League's central purpose should be to guarantee the territorial status quo and to rely upon force for the maintenance oi peace. This position was taken “repeatedly and publicly without dissent from any appreciable sec- tlcn oi Parliamentary or public opinion."

Bi» in the p:esent instance the curler statement continued when an effort was being made with wida support to teat the feapibii- ity oi preventing or terminating war by use oi economic sanctions. the Canadian Government was prepared to co-opsrate at the same time making ‘it clear that it did not; recognise any commitment "binding Canada to adopt milit- ary sanctions and that no such commitment could b» made with-

ut approval or the Canad- ioan gbilfltlltltmt."

After this reference to the Oct. as announcement today's state- merit continues: '

“Super Critical” Re- port On Reciprocal Pact Seen As Reas- on.

(By D liaroid Oliver Associated Press Staff Writer) '

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1-(A.P.) -Authoritative sources predicted today that George N. Peek, United States Government foreign trade adviser, would resign soon sitar making a ifsupor-criticsl" report on the possible effects oi the Can- adZan-United States reciprocal trad: agreement. .

These authorities would not be quoted by name, but said they had

talked. with Peck and felt sure he would sever" all ccnuenions with the Rmscvelt regime after

‘giving _his report to President Roosevelt. who requested it.

"I won't discuss that one way or the other." was Beck's own com- ment about the reporud resign- ation. He is Presidrnt of the two export-import banks as well as trade adviser.

Peek did say. however, that he was reducing his report to "simple language" and it would be ready for submission on the President's return from his southern vacation.

The report that Peek contem- plated resigning his itions oi head o! the export-import bank, special trade adviser to the Pre- sldcnt. and lnsmbsr of the nation- sl emergency council, coincided with word that the state depart- ment would be asked to seek mod- iicstion of the Canadian agree- merit.

Senator Charles McNary of Oregon, the Republican leader, made pubic a telegram from W. B. Greeley, President of the West Coast Lumber-man's Association, urging the part be changed to grant United States lumber ship- pers equal tariff treatment with Canada in British Empire mar- kets. Greeley aso would limit Canadian lumbsr imports into the United Stats to not more than 25,000,000 bopro feet in any one month, and restrict wood ship- ments to vessels of Canadian and United States register.

McNsry said he would take up the question with the State de- partment immediately.

OTTAWA, Dec. 1.—A determined onslaught upon problems faced in common by the Dominion and pro- vinces will be launched here a week from tomorrow when minisfe a and permanent government officials from the nine provinces come to 0t- taws. to confer with the Federal Government.

Questions of constitutional Juris- diction as between the Dominion and provinces. unemployment relief, rte-employment measures, provincial financing and taxation will feature the discussions. Every provincial premier is expected to attend.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King will return from his Georgia holiday

The Morning Post urged oonside " as to whether the bsn might not be Ices like- ly to make peace in Ethiopia than war in Europe.

The Dally Telegraph on the other hand remarked: "Any lack of nerve now would be fatal to the whole policy of collective, effective sanctions, which the British people doraed practically unenimo ‘y at the general election."

The Dally Herald considered It might be taken for granted that the Cabinet generally won't! accept the conclusions reached by Sir Samuel lfoare, foreign Secretary. Anthony Eden, Minister for [league Af- fairs, and Prime Minister Baldwin regarding the neces- sity for the embargo.

In time to preside ovar- the gather- ing which has been described by Premier Patulio oi British Columbia as "the moat important conference to be held elnec Confederation."

The dates carefully chosen and once changed in order that there might be no chance of any province being inconvenienced, it is the in- tention oi those concerned to give these discussions all the time neces- sary to reach definite conclusions and remove the many obstacles that have ulcgeclly stood in the way oi complete recovery efforts.

It has been anticipated that a week at least would be required but the provincial officials have been asked to come prepared to stay longer, lf necessary, to achieve the conference objectives.

Preparations for the conference have been under way for some time and will reach finality this week. Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister oi Labor, is chairman of the arrange- ment committee and John Road. legal adviser to the Department of External Affairs, has been made Secretary. -

A significant development last weak was the summons sent out by Mayor l-loudo to mayors of larger cities from coast to coast to meet in Montreal next Saturday to pre- pare representations they will make lo the conference.

This will be a continuation of the mayors’ conference which met in Montreal last Spring and brought their representations before mem- bers oi’ Parliament shortly before prorogation.

In diplomatic circles it was re- ported Mussolini not only had rc- fuscd to halt his military advances into Ethiopia. or to withdraw more troops from Isibye, but had repeat- ed his warning that Italy would consider the oil ban an unfriendly gesture and had threatened to send book the Libyan division he with- drew some weeks ago.
