iBY CARL REINKE) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) (Copyright, 1940. by The Canadian

Press]

OTTAWA, May 16—(CP) —Can- adals experience in the last. 10 years provides ample proof that. unemployment relief should be made entirely the responsibility of the Dominion Government the Royal Commission on Doinlnion- Provincial Relations asserted in its icport today.

The system under which local authorities are held primarily re- sponslble for relief could not. be continued at the price of “financial chaos and enormous waste.“ 'I‘he commission considered it essential also that. the Dominion be given Jurisdiction -or even concurrent tjurisdiclion-to establish unemploy- ment insurance. when it seemed advisable. and that a national em- ployment. service be set. up.

Other welfare services would re- main o provincial res nsibility but. the provinces would placed in financial position to perform those services adequately. The commission's financial plan was designed to that end.

"Provrzielal responsibility for so- cial welfare should be deemed basic and general." the report set out "Dominion responsibility. on the other hand. should be deemed an exception to the general rulc and as such should he strictly defined. But the Dominion should be given adequate jurisdiction to perform efficiently whatever responsibilities are entrusted to it."

Reviewing the devastating effects of unemployment relief on pro- vincial and municipal finances. the commission concluded that the loacl “hos seriously strained the. credit. reserves of at: least eight. of the nine provinces, and it. would appear doubtful whether they can carry indefinitely even their pre- sent. shares of relLfi burdens."

Existing Set -Up

Under the existing set-up. relief standards have varied widely andt have tended to be “those 0f D00?’ relief. rather than for the maln- teiiancc of the efficiency of em-

In the case of old for primary industries. the commission urged that. the Dominion should make advances anti collections itself. if need should ever acaln arise for it to gdvanog operating costs to an industry as it. did for prairie agri- culture. "Very serious abuses and wéastes." the commission comment- c .
