Finance Minister An- nounces Govern- .ment Intention On Eve of Departure For Europe.

(C. I’. Ry Guardian’: special Wire)

0'I'I‘AWA. June 25. — Finance Minister Charles A. Dunning an- nounced tonight it is proposed to set up a national committee on fin- Lnclal questions composed of Do- minion and provincial represents.-. tives. It will be established "on a purely voluntary basis." and com- munications have been sent to the provinces asking for their sugges- tions for the setting up of the com- mlttee.

The Finance Minister, who will sail for Europe at the end. of the weak. gave out a statement in which he emphasized the “desirability of regular and frequent meetings with the provinces for the mutual dis- cussion of problems in the field of finance and taxation."

While the Loan Council legislation which it had been proppsed to in- troduce mto Parliament had fallen by the wayside with the failure of the constitutional amendment to pass the Senate. it was hoped to ar- range ior closer association of Do- minion and provinces on matters of finance and taxation.

Subjects which might be consid- ered. by the proposed committee were mentioned by the minister. They included financial relations between the Dominion and provin- ces; methods of reducing “evils of multiple taxatlon;""iil'li§ibilitiee of co-operation in tax administration; methods of achieving "more equit- able. better-balanced and more elastic tax syst;ems;" methods of securing greater co-operation and co-ordination in the financial pol- icies cf Dominion and provinces; and clearer and more uniform methods of accounting.

Call For Liberal Inter- pretation of Constit- ution Rather Than Amendment.

(A. P. By GIulrdiIn's special Wire)

CONVENTION HALL. Philadel- phia. June 25—The Democratic National Convention moved tonight to shake off dispute by endorsing 5 laboriously forged compromise B-Kreement to abrogate the two- iliirds nominating rule. reapportion déiezate strength and adopt a new deal platform.

only these hurdles stood ahead oi the convention's concedediy unani- mnus meeting ground on which to- morrow it \vill renominate Prank- lln D. Roosevelt.

Guarded until the last minute, because of delayed action by the full resolutions committee, gm advance peek at the work of the platform drafters showed that it contained no call for a. constitutional amend- merit. But the question of consti- tutional change was touched, nev- ertheless.

Despite the committee's silence. however, hints that came from the hotel room pointed to a platform that would be:

A declaration of words;

one extolling the new deal in- terpretation of action and promis- ing more action;

A caustic reminder that pre- Roosevelt administrations were re- sponsible for the problems dis- turbing the nation;

A call for liberal interpretation of the constitution rattler than for amendment of the basic law to flir- tiier the new deal purposes;

A pledge of equality for agricul- ture. more market outlets and bal- anced production:

A promise strictly to enforce laws for curbing monopoly;

An assertion that the United states dollar is sound and will be kept so:

A pledge for strong defensive ar- maments but intemational cooper- ation looking toward reduced arm- aments and world peace.

Delegates To ‘sZék New Paths To Collective Security. Selassie :13 Attend.

(A. P. By Guardi

GENEVA, June 25-—The League of Nations, which seven months ago in an atmosphere of crusading zeal

clamped sanctions down on embarrassing task of lifting

Italy, begins tomorrow the those measures.

Because of the failure of the economic penalties, ap- plied for the first time in League history to stop Italy’: ‘war of aggression” the delegates will seek new paths to

collective security.

The fact Emperor Haile Selassie was en route to Geneva. from London only deepened the gloom in corridors

of the League palace. Ethiopiifs delegation so with vigor before the Leag tions and will ask, on the o of all measures provided in

Another vital problem on the council's agenda is the Locarno question, precipitated by Germany's reoccupation of the Rhineland and denunciation of the Locamo treaty.

other matters are a report on slavery in Ethiopia and elsewhere. and the problem of transferring

some 25,000 Assyrian Christians from Iraq to Syria. Representatives of "neutral"

states, which include Scandinavia. Spain and Switzerland, met today to discuss the attitude they will take toward Italy's annexation of Ethiopia.

Since Great Britain and France have announced they favored the lifting of sanctions no powerful op- position to this move is anticipated.
