Il Duce must be concerned bythe relative weakness of Italy's credit abroad. Rome's credit on world markets does not exceed $30,000,- 000. This fiscal weakness is fur- ther emphasized by the drop in the reserve of the Bank of Italy from $208,000,000 in December, 1938, to $138,000,000 last March.

At conclusion of the defence of Canada debate the House resum- ed discussion of Labor Minister Mcliarty’: resolution preliminary to introduction of the annual bill for unemployment relief and ag- ricultural distress aid.

Mr. Lapointe pleaded for patience and coopcration from his colleagues in the house. "We are all work- ing for the same cause, for the same purpose, and we ought to trust one another." he said.

"Sowing distrust of those who have the responsibility and the burden 1s not a good thing in this country at the present time. us try to irust one another not think there are an dcsigns in the actions o those 1n authority."
