“Anne” Shirley In “Chasing Yesterday” At Capitol

Anne Shirley, the brilliant girl who was so triumphant in “Anne oi Green Gables," demonstrates her hlstrionlc ability before the premier audience at the Capitol Theatre in “Chasing Yesterday." Anne Shirley is definitely entitled to the star billing, which Holly- wood has given her in this picture.

And there's a great deal to be said about Mia Shirley's current vehicle. "Chasing Yesterday" takes its place at the top of the current output oi picturizations of famous literary classics. This transmutation oi a story by Anatole France re- tains its wholesome romance, friendship, drama and comedy. it

today is four times what it was when the Bennett Government as- sumed oflloe."

‘Those figures dealt only with the "llempliycd. In May, 1935, there were 1,272,000 Canadians on relief, unemployed persons and their de- pendents. This reflected “Some- thirlrg of the extent of Mr. Ben- net s failure to redeem his prom- lses to end unemployment and to abolish the dole." Again, these fig- ures dld not show rural distress which was acute as urban privation. Frzm the day Mr. Bennett as. sumed oflice until March 31. 1935.

‘$160,000,000 as its

the Federal Government had spent; share oi relief expenditures. If loans to provlnggs and guarantees were added, the Dominions ‘financial responsibility reached $308,000,000, more than had been spent in any year between Confederation and the third year 0f the World War. _

“And what, as a result of all this, is the present situation?‘ At the end of five years oi mounting and colossal expenditure, the 1mm.

“But, more than all this, the ruthless manner in which, in some particulars, the situation has been handled, has led to riot. serlolisin- Jury, and loss of life. The irony oi the situation must be apparent to all, when it is recalled that it was Regina, in the general elections oi 1930, that Mr. Bennett, seeking to arouse the passion of the unem-

ures for the purpose oi relief, or for providing employment _at the instance oi the state, cannot be continued indefinitely. Onl by re- moving the restrictions wh ch have thrcttled and strangled the move- ment of goods into and out of the country. and through persistent and persuasive endeavour to re- gain new markets, can there come a revival oi trade and business, and the return of work for the men and women oi our land.

“Confidence in the institutions of Government, certainty and stability in the administration oi public 5115111858. are also essential to re- covery. Release from, rather than increase in the bufiien of the cost of government, reductions rather than increases, in taxation co-op- eration and goodwill between the Federal and Provincial administra- tions, and between all parts and classes oi the country, must also be achieved, if commerce and industry are to revive."

There is also a clear-cut and fundamental difference in relation Yo the vital question of economic recovery.

"Mr. Bennett must know by 110W that no broad scheme of social re- form can be carried through suc- cessfully in Canada without close cc-operatlon between the Domin- lop and the provinces, and that. t0 ignore the provinces, 0r deliberate- ly to invade their constitutional rights, is a dangerous assault upon the foundations oi’ our national llfe. Moreover, he surely is 00mins i" m that words are no substitute for work and wages.
