Willie some of the current un- employment might be seasonal and temporary, he said, funds were needed to provide food and shelter for those not receiving unemploy- ment insurance benefits,

“Unless relief is extended im- mcdiately we are going to feel ser- ious repercussions from this mounting unemployment," said Mr. Gillis, one of severalto participate in continued debate on the Speech‘ lrom the Throne.

An estimated 17 per cent of the )’l‘5.000 registered unemployed were not in receipt of unemployment hsurance.

It would be small comfort for them to read thht the Government regarded them as temporary and seasonal unemployed workers and planned to do nothing for them.

Besides the registered unemploy- od he was sure there were mother 100.000 not registered at National Ilmployment offices.

Relief should be provided. he laid, and conti.nued'until the un- employment situation was correct- ed. Public works projects should be launched to provide walk in fields where private industry had fallen down.

U. K. Election Campaign Nearing Final Round

Minister Queried lle Tenders For Ch'iown:._Building . .

OTTAWA. Pub. 21 --(Special) — Public Wbrlks Minister I-‘ournler said in the House of Commons this nfternootn that tenders for a federal public building in Chat- lottetown would be solicited "as ‘°‘u’»'.‘.." "l...“.”.“" ..,........

M er was to question asked by W. Chester Manure, Progressive member for Quee.n’s who asked if tenders for the new sh ‘ure had been let. and if not. when they would be. In view of the brevity of the minister's answer, Mr. Manure is preparing yuppie- menlalry questions on the new building in an effort to force the works department to action.

A federal building to house Fed- eral Government depu-tments in Charlottetown has been in the dis- cussion stage for three years, Mr. Manure contends. Parliament has voted ample funds for piano. dem- ol-ltlon of bvul.ld.ings now on the site. and foundaatdon work. The Queen‘: memlber ex-presaedfiosnsts to the Guardian if settlements had been made by the works depart- ment with owners of the expropri- mted properties. If not. he wfll urge equltaib'e settlements at the earliest e moment. Oc- cupants of the buildtings ‘have re- ceived notice to vacate their prem- ises by April 1, 1950.

LONDON. Feb. 21 — (CF) — Britain's political orator: return- ed from the hustings to their home grounds tonight to make eleventh-hour pleas for victory in Thursday's general election. plfor most of_ them. it was their next-to-the-last big speech before the United Kingdom's 34,000,000 voters decide whether Labor will receive another. five-year man- date or the government will be turned over to the Conservatives.

Candidates from more than 30 political parties will make their final bids to their home constitu- encies tomorrow for election to the 025-seat House of Commons.

The race essentially is between the governing Labor Panty—which introduced socialism into Britain after its sweeping victory in 1945 —snd the Conservative opposition which would stop further nation- alization and claims it could run present state enterprises and ser- ‘vlces more cheaply and edlficlent-

y. Weather puldl¢l.l0flS were that it would be cold and cloudy elec- tion day. with occasi 1 rain.

Thursday the polls will be open from 7 AM. until 0 PM. (3 AM. until 4 P.M. AST). The .results of about 240 urban s.unsi“uencies are expected to be known before bai- lot countlns ltops for the night. By noon Friday a sufficient num- ber of results are expected to establish the outcome.

Both Prime Minister Attlee and Conservative leader W in s 1 o n Churchill spoke in their own baili- wicks.

lndependentt surveys by news- papers and public-opinion polls indicate that both major parties each will receive about 40 per cent of the vote. Redistribution has left the boundaries of only 02 ridings unchanged, confusing predictions.

Some observers see the possi- bility that neither Labor nor Con- serve-tives will receive I working majority in the new House which is to meet March i. In that case a new election prdbabiy would be called since Labor and Conserva- tives have said they will not take part in a coalition.

The Liberals, third strongest party. are not given a chance of forming a government. How. over. some observers claim if neither major party has a work- ing majonity. the Liberals may hold the balance of power.

The

Senator Iells . People To Exerl Themselves More

OITAWA. Feb. 21 — (OP) — Canada never will reach its high- est destiny, senator William Gold- ing (L — Ontario) said today. un- less Canadians learn to lean less on government shoulders.

People should exert themselves more and rely less on Federal help, he said in the senate in moving adoption of the address in reply to the speech from the Throne.

senator C.J. Veniot (L -— New Brunswick). seoonding the motion, called for greater aid to Canada's hospitals and universities. He spoke in French and in English.

An east-coast surgeon. he said universities lacked funds and has- pitals needed beds.

He praised the Federal health scheme and said it could do tnuch to alleviate the situation. He hop- ed that the Massey Commission. now investigating the Canadian cultural scheme, would recommen‘ that the Federal Government grant. financial aid to put universities on their feet.

Members on both sides of the chamber paid tribute to the memories of Senate a John Sinclair (PC — Prince Edward Island) and E.C. st. Pere (D- Quebec). who died -within the last month.

senator Golding, who comes from the farming district of Huron- Perth. expressed the wish of these counties that the King and Queen once more pay a visit to Canada. to renew the friendship cemented in the royal visit of 1930.

Defence Necessary

He said he noted that the Gov- ernment was planning to make heavy expenditures for a defence program: While ted" such expenditures they knew they were necessary so Canadians could co-operate fully with other members of the North Atlantic family.

Defence was necessary because of the prevalence of the "forces of materialism." "No matter how much we love peace, «we are never going to lower ourselves as a nation from what we believe is right."

Turning to the Canadian trade pict/ure. senator Golding said Can- ada must have patience. some outlets for Canadian goods had dried out. but new ones would be found.

U. S. Breaks Relations With Bulgarian Gov’t

By WARD ll. BOMAR.

WAS TON. Feb. 21 -— (AP) — The United States broke off ro- iations with Communist Bulgaria today in the touuhest American action thus far against any sov- iet-bioc country.

Clfmaxing a "long series of in- tolerable restrictions and ind it- ities" against the us. legati in sofia, American Minister Donald 1!. Heath and his entire staff were ordered home.

At the same time. the stats De- partment demanded the recall of Doctor Peter Voutov and his smaller Bulgarian staff in Wash- i

ncton. Officials indicated the move re-

notes to I‘ l t Czechoslovak- la and Poland that relations might be severed. Meantime all American consuls have been ordered out of Communist China, which the Un- ited States has not recognised.

Announcing the break with Bui- garia as I "alspension of rela- tions." the state Department for the first time detailed charges that Bulgarian militia tortured and killed three Bulgarian employees of the us. iegation.

Since the legatiou was establish- ed in September. 1017. the De- partment declared Bulgarian of-
