Mayors Request Mun- icipalities Be Reliev- ed of Responsibility April 1.

(CI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA. March Zi-Rlelleratlon of their proposal that the Dominion Government should assume the en- tire administration and cost of un- employment relief was the chief feature of the deliberations of the various committees appointed today at the Dmninlon Mayors’ Confer- ence. It was urged that this respon- sibility on the part of the Domin- ion begin on April l.

Another resolution. adopted by the committee on finance for pres- entation to a plenary session of the conference tomorrow, asked that municipal debts be included in any scheme for the refunding of fed- eral and provincial debt.

A national housing plan was also recommended b0 be operated under a Dominion subsidy, while a. com- prehensive program of public works was suggested, the cost to be borne by the Dominion. The committee dealing with this subject requested, in addition. that the Dominion ss- slst public works undertaken by the municipalities.

For the most pert the resolutions emerging from the commltx-e dif- fered in few respects from those adopted by the conference at its in-

augural convention in Montreal lest March. The most important of today's

committees, under the chairman- ship of Mayor Harris Johnston»; of Moose Jaw. dealt solely with re- lief. The committee, recalling that the Notional pcvemment had re- cognised unemployment s; a na- tional emergency and o. notional re- cponslblllty by reason of unemploy- ment insurance legislation and the appointment of a national employ- ment commission, again stressed that some provincial governments could m longer assume any added responsibility for uuempldiment relief and hed declared their lu-

BERLIN, March 23*(A. P.)—' Germany's aziswer to the mcarno menwrandum of the four former Great; War allies was whipped into shape tonight and it was oﬂlcially announced that Joachim von Rib- bentrop, Chancellor Hitler's special ambassador, would carry it, to Lon- don tomorrow. its exact contents were carefully guarded, although Hitler has given strong general indications he would not accept the proposals as origin- ally drafted.

Expected to Refuse

His reply, ll; was believed, would be a "nc on the present basis of tho income program, thus leaving the door open but making it almost ms.- bcrlally impossible to negotiate un- til after the voting Sunday for Relchstag elections.

It was learned that Blr Eric P1111705, the British Ambassador who is credited with having much influence with Hitler, personally appealed to the German Govern- ment to accept the program of the bocamo powsrs-wvhlch includes the bringing in of British and Italian troops to patrol a frontier strip of the Bhlneland until peace negotia- tions have been concluded.

Down Locarno Proposals, Belief

Britain Said [lr-iwilling To Lift Sanctions Against Italy In Re-

turn For Locarno (Io-operation.

(By James C. Oldfield, Associated Press Staff Writer) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

L0_NDON, March 23-With apprehension the League of Nations Council awaited word tonight from two dictat- ors-Chancellor Hitler and Premier Mussolini.

Der Fuehrer’s all-important answer to the proposals of the four Locarno powers was still unsighted late to- night. It was linked closely by League circles with an ex- Deﬁled K198811212 from the Italian dictator stating his de- mands for halting the war in Africa.

A_ definite hardening of the British attitude against the lifting of sanctions as a bargain for Mussolini’s Lo- carno cooperation was voiced in authoritative quarters. These sources stated reports that Italian bombers “are us- ing mustard gas” against the Ethiopians considerably less- ened chances for a letup in th_e__applluation of sanctions.
