Emest La- pointe. former minister of justice. Under the British North America Act. he contended. l. measure could be enacted only through co-oper- ation of the provinces or by chang- ing the act and not by any nmtpod of binding it ho the treaty of Ver- saiiles.

Mr. mpointe followed John R. MsoNicol (Cons. Toronto North West) who said he had mu a strong advocate of unemployment insurance for many years. Both were speaking in debate on second readin! 0i’ the bill.

Mr. MacNicol said his enperience in i-lldllltl’! and as an employer of labor had convinced him would be of great benefit to Can- adian industrial workers.

Speaking recently in the House Col. Sutherland stated his intention of‘ calling such s, conference. De- puty ministers of health have fre- quently held conventions but this will be the first time provincial and Dominion ministers will assemble to discuss health problems.

Provincial ministers would be giv- en opcprtunities to bring up any subjects they desired, Col. Suther- land said today. They will probably include health insurance.

The bill for unemployment insur- ance provides the commission ap- pointed under the Act shall gather information on health and co-oper- ato in the health field with the Do- minion, the prcvinces and the mun- iclpalities. 1t is expected tho health conference will prepare a report outlining to the commission how it can assist on health insurance data and other matters of like nature.

ations Have With Respect

Representations to the Canadian Ambassador at Washington, to have included in any proposed trade agreement between Canada. and United States reduced U. B." tariffs on potatoes. turnips and other Prince Edward Island products, have already gone forward from the Provincial Government, Premier W. J. P. Maclillillon informed the Char- lottetown Board of ‘Prado at a meet. lug last night. In addition to pota- toes and turnips, reduced duty rates on Prince Edward Island furs and fish entering the United States have been asked for by the Government.

At a council meeting of the Board of Trade last night the following resolution, prepared by a. committee under the chairmanship of Mr. George J. Tweedy, was adopted, the Council not being then aware that the Government had already acted in the matter: , '

"Whereas it is intimated that a reciprocal trade agreement between Canada and the United States is to be the subject of discussion at an early date: -

How the Maritime unaccom- tion Comxnbsion was moving to ee- ciue reductions on freight rates for Prince Edward Island potatoes to compensate for sr reductions granted Ontario and Qllebﬂi‘ shiv- pers was explained last night by Mr. Rand Matheson, manager for the Maritime Commission in ad- dressing the CiEullOWQbOWB Board of Trade. “The mmission has complained to the Board 0f Rail- way Commissioners under the Mar- tinis Freight Rates Act for e. re- duction corresponding to that ef- fected in the Central Provinces. ‘The complaint brought to the at-' tenticn of the Board that rates in Ontario and Quebec were reduced from as to 44 percent rlics/blc throw-bout the year whereas re- duction effected from the Maritimes applied for 41 days and ranged from 1c to 3i percent below normal rates. In other words Ontario and Quebec shippers enjoyed a reduction of ab- out three cents a bushel which pre- ludicislly affected our shippers." Mr. Matheson said, that our present rate relationship with the Marl- tlmes would have to absorb $120,- 030 as a result lower than Quebec and Ontario rates.

Another complai ‘ from Prince Edward Island shippers which was being handled was that rates on turnips from Ontario to Boston were lower by six cents than equldis tent rates on turnips shipped from Slunmerside and Charlottetown ho Boston. The existing differential was brought to the attention of the
