The House had under consider- stion in committee the RCMP. Bill which changes the system of accounting for moneys paid by Provinces for policing doneby the ‘Mounties!’

In explaining the Bill to the ecnunitiee, Mr. Guthrie said be had been under a misapprehension when it was before the House in its earlier stages. The proposal was

~lnto that fund by the provinces in return for police services. -

“In the opinion of the Commis- 1101i (of the R.C.M.P.) the situa- tion in Canada at the moment in regard to Communistlc activities is not at all satisfactory," Mr. Guthrie said. “We have informa- tion that the Communlst party and a.ll its ramifications in Can- ada, is more dangerous today than l‘ My time in recent ycars.

‘Cabinet Makes Amendments To Protect Interests Of Poland - And The Little Entente II Mussolini Plan-Guard" Against Four Power Directorate.

l a

PARIS, April 3.-—(A.P.)—-Ccu .1 proposals embodying France's posi- tion that the interests of Poland and the Little Entente must be pro- tected were drafted by the Cabinet today at a meeting devoted to Pre- mier Mussolinib projected Four- power Peace Pact.

The Ministry definitely rejected any plan which might result in a seeking to

ope. Poland and the Little Entente -Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and

Rumania-must be consulted 1n_

matters of interest to them, the Ministers decided. ‘

France already had indicated ac- ceptance in principle of the Mussol- ini Plan. This was done March 21 when suggested modifications were dispatched in Rome.

It is understood that the French reply to the pact proposal rules out specific mention of article 19 of the League of Nations covenant unless articles 10 and l6 are included.

Article l9 empowers the League Assembly to advise the members to reconsider "treaties which have be- come inapplicable" and to consider “international conditions whose con-

the territorial integrity of League members and article 16 provides for the use of sanctions against any member which has violated the cov- enant.

'.I‘hc French position is that thc four powers-Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy-should discuss affairs of mutual interest but should meet with the other nations when the interests of those other nations are involved.

Theory That Mentally

SALFORD, England, April 3.—fA

P.) —An investigation was being made today to determine whether iAlfred Voss, one of the passengers aboard the air liner City of Liver- pool which crsshed last Tuesday with 15 deaths. set fire to the ship as it was flying.

The plane crashed in Belgium, killing all those aboard, including Voss. Witnesses said it seemed sud- denly to burst into flames. it was [flying in good weather.

The investigation was started on the theory that Voss might have been mentally deranged. His body was to have been buried here ycs- terdby. but police intervened.

Coroner A. H. Flint said it was difficult to believe that Voss was responsible because Miss Lottie Voss, his 18-year-old niece, was with him on the British Imperial Airways liner. The coroner will direct an 1n-

quest which will attempt to deter- mine whether Voss took poison.

Although exhaustive prepara- tions had been made frr the flight over Everest, the actual carrying out of the feat was in a measure accidental. when the two ships went up the pul-poe of the flyers was only to make a test. But they found conditions so ideal they turned the test into real business.
