Discusdng the seaway. Mr. Gordon said he expects that at first the added steamship com- petition will seriously affect the railways -but "eventually it will work out."

C. E. Johnston (SC-Bow River) guggeslnd that no freight rate in- creases should be loaded on the West or the Maritimas. to noon- ter-balan reductions that might be necessary in central Canada to meet ship competition.

INCREASED BENEFITS ASKED

Mr. Gordon replied that die At- lantic provinces have the advan- tage of the Maritime height Rates Act of 1927, which gives that area federally - subsidised rate reductions and In West has the low "Crow's Nest pass" rates on export grain.

"The Maritime Freight Bates Act is of little advantage to the Maritimes today." said Clarle Gilli: ICCF-Cape. Breton South). He said On benefits of the act should he stepped up at least 50 per cent.

Sybil Bennett (PC-Haltoni, in common with other opposition members. charged that the in- creases are inadequate.

She said that If she were a young man she would give long consideration before offering her services to her country in view of the treatment given veterans. She said it is "outrageous" that the government could even think of deducting the 340-a-month old- nge pension from war veternns' allowances 'when the recipients reached the age of 70.

(When a WVA recipient eaches 70, his allowances is reduced by the amount of the old age pen- sion)

NOT DEDUCTED "There are millionaires-running around this country receiving the old age pension.” Miss Bennett said. "Is anything deducted for them? Not ii cent.” The legislation increases the al- lowances for needy veterans or their widows to 860 a month from for a single person and to 08 from 300 a mouth for a mar- ried person. Permissive ceilings on income. including the allowance. are raised to 3840 a year from 872) for a single person and to 81.440 from 31.200 for a married person. The opposition has sought to have the allowance raised to 311) a month for the single veteran and the ceilings increased to 81.30 and 32.000 for single and married veterans. respectively.

Turkish Syrian Tension Grows

ANKARA. Turkey. (AP)- An official source said Thurs- day Turkey, nt odds with neighboring Syria, has moved two armored brigades-about 10.000 troops-into the south- on: area bordering the Arab country. A third brigade is expected to be sent in shortly.

No official explanation was given for the troop move- ments. But they clearly em- phasized Turkey's opposition to Syrian alignment with Egypt and Saudi Arabia in a proposed defence alliance ex- cluding non-Arab members. Turkey has protested that the new grouping is aimed against her. and Turkish-Syrian rela- tions have deteriorated rapid- ly the last few weeks.

Each country has accused the other of border violations by planes.

70th Birthday

LONDON (Reuters) Lady Clementine Churchill will celebrate her 70th birthday today, confident that this year may bring the peace- ful retirement from public life that she has wanted so long for her 80-year-old minister husband and herself.

Sir Winston Churchill's "Clem- mie" has been his dearest com- panion for more than 46 years. listening to his brilliant speeches when he was in office. and con- soling him when he was out.

But it is no secret that since his illness two summers ago, she has urged her husband to slow down his pace and give up his political career while they can both enjoy a little leisure.

A quietly determined woman, with a pretty but stubborn chin. Clementine Churchill has a reputa- tion for getting her way and it looks as though this time she will get her way again.

.For according to rumors circulating here, the prime min- later is expected to tender his resignation to Queen Elisabeth next week.
