Apprehension Is Caused By

Cabinet Upset.

VIENNA. May 14—An open conflict between the government of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg and the Heimwehr, private army of Prince Ernst Von Starhem- berg, ousted suddenly as Austria's vice chancellor and

“semi-dictator,” was a possi-_

bility tonight. _

"The fight to make Aus- tria Fascist now begins in earnest,” said a spokesman for Von Starhemberg.

At the same time a more democratic trend, one away from Fascism, was indicated by Schuschnigg’s new gov- ernment—a trend directly contrary to the Fascist lleimwehr principles.

A source close to the gov- ernment said that Chan- cellor Schuschnigg and Franz Von Papen, German Minister to Austria, discuss- ed at length today the possi- bilities of improving the em- bittered relations between Germany and Austria.

Colonial Secretary Testifies Before Ju- dicial Tribunal In- vestigating Alleged _ Leakage.

(A. P. By Guardian’. Spoelslwire)

LONDON, May l4——J. H. Thom- as, secretary for the Colonies, en- tered a vigorous denial today that he had allowed his tongue to slip in respect to the budget secrets.

Testifying before the Judicial tri- unal investigating the alleged " udget. leak" the cabinet minister said‘

"I have heard nine budget state- ments and this is the first time I have ever heard any question of a leakage. I have never disclosed one word to anybody."

Thomas agreed to submit his bank and investment books to the tribunal tomorrow.

Reginald Marriott, is stock brok- er, testified he was informed by a friend on April 20, the day before the budget was presented to Par- liament, that the income tax would be increased.

Marriott's friend, the witness de- clared, was a lawyer who previously had received the information "from a great friend of his."

"Did he mention who?" the wit- ness was asked.

“Not; by name," Marriott xe- sponded, “He said he was a great friend of somebody e ."

“Who else?"

".1. H. Thomas," Marriott said.

Thomas described how he went to Prime Minister Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and demanded an investigation after first reports of the alleged leakage were heard in London,

(Thomas son. Leslie, is a mem- ber of a firm through which sev- eral Insurance transactions were handled on behalf of Alfred Bates, advertising man, desbribed as a friend of both the minister and his son. Previous testimony showed Bates’ dealings totalled about 535.- 030.)

Thomas told the presiding Jus- tice he spent four days with Bates during the Easter holidays and would have had ample opportunity to discus the budget with him or ..anybOdy_..

However, the secretary declared, “I never disclosed one word."

(Bates also denied he recelved any budget information from either Thomas or his son).

The minister acknowledged dur- ing nearly an hour he spent in the witness chair, he “was worried in my own mind as to whether I ought to resign."

He finally "braced up," he said after a friend had advised him:

~‘l='or God's sake, Jim. don't re- sign as all manner of constructions will be placed on it."

Intrigue

To Control Canada

From W_cf_ll Street

Sensation Caused In Commons By. S oci a1 Credit Leader While Attacking B.N. A. A. Changes.

(C. P. By Guardian’: special wire)

OTTAWA, May 14-John Black- more, leader of the social Credit- ors, thrcw the House of Commons into a furore today by relaying an- Ollymous charges that an intrigue exists to place Canada under the control of Wall Street.

The former school teacher from Lethbridge refused to accept re- sponsibility for the statement, or disclose the author, finally with- drawing it after a stormy 15 min- utes. The incident was climaxed by Deputy Speaker Sanderson or- dering the statement expunged from I-Iansard. an incident which hasn't happened in years.

While attacking a government resolution to amend the British North America Act to empower the Dominion to guarantee provincial borrowings under certain conditions and extend to them power to col- lect sales taxes, Mr. Blackmore first gave his opinion "money power" was attempting to enslave all mankind. .

Then he continued: “Here are a few words from a man who I very much fear knows a good deal about his subject.” He then read the following from a yellow sheet of paper: "Your major danger in Canada now is in connection with an intrigue between the financiers of the United States, the Bank of Canada a-nd"—he left this blank- “to modify the British North Am- erica Act so as to put you under the control of Wall Street. The danger is instant and serious.”

This led to an immediate hubbub with points of order flying across the chamber.

Finance Minister Dunning want- ed to know the name of the author.

May 5, The Crown claims injuries he received when he was struck over the head with a club in the hands of his 26-year-old cousin, were responsible for his death. During the hearing Crown Pro- sccutor R. M. Fielding announced that the prosecution was not con- tending that the killing of the 28-

year-old woodchcpping champion was premeditated, . "I won't make no statement,"

was the accused man's only remark at the hearing. He will await his trial, six months off, in jail,
