canaoalsun Faces Serious Unemployment

OTTAWA. Jan. 4--(CP) —Al- though relief figures now stand at a new low for recent years, Can- ada is still faced with serious pro- blems of unemployment and de- pendency according to "The Re- lief Outlook in Canada," and an- nual review prepared by the Can-

, adian Welfare Council.

The Council, national clearing house for social agencies, headed by F. N. Stapleford of Toronto. analyses relief figures for the past seven years and concludes:

“There is a heavy tide of sea- sonal dependency in Canada that engulfs 300,000 to 400.0% liidividu- als each year in recurring de- pendency on public aid; that in- volves an unascertained number in idleness and dissipation oi sav- ings and reserves and that must. affect some 150,000 adult workers.

“This is a load that. Canada must plan to carry in her ordinary stride, apart from economic col- lapse or drought."

The total of relief recipients in Canada's for December, including the drought areas, is estimated by the Council at 900,000, in any case not more than 925,003. This com- ’ pared with officially recorded totals of 1,043,166, in November and 1,- 118,582 in Decembe of 1936.

Insurgent reports said the Gov- ernment soldiers were forced to leave ground in the bend where tanks ploughed through the snow, spitting fire into the ranks of en- trenched, cold-numbed militiamen.

Reports from the two camps on the situation in Teruel itself con- tinued to ‘be contradictory.

Insurgents said the city, which they lost Dec. 21, had been "liber- ated” while Government officials asserted an Insurgent garrison in the downtown quarter still was

New Commission To Delve Farther Into Proposed Division Of Palestine.

(By George Hambleton) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) (C.P. Cable, By Guardian's Special

W

LONDON, Jan. ‘i-Palestine en- ters a new phase. William Ormsby- Gore, Secretary for the Colonies, tonght issued the terms of refer- ence to the new technical commis- sion-membcrship of the commis- sion will be announced later——which will study the proposed partition of Palestine on the spot.

The Royal Commission. headed by the late Earl Peel, which re- ported last July, recommended the division of Palestine into three areas: (l) a sovcregn Arab state consisting approximately of two- thirds ofPnlestine; (2) a sovereign

Jewish state of approximately one- ihlrd of Palestine. and (3) a. new permanent mandate to Great Brit- ain for the government of Jrru- salem. Bethlehem. and Nazareth, with a corridor to the sea. Britain also would retain a. temporary mari- date over Haifa, Acre, and Tiberius.

‘rhe Peel P'an met a storm of crtlcism. It faced opposition in the British Parliament. The Arabs re- volted in Palestine. Only yesterday the Zionist Federation of Great Britain adopted a resolution pro- posing as a. solution of the problem cieatlq of ~a Jewish state in Pales- tine wl bin the framework 1;: the f-Britslrltlornmonwealih of Nations.

The new commission will have full liberty to suggest modifications in the partition plan, including a variation in the areas recommended for retention under British man- date. Taking into account represen- tations from the communities of Palestine and Trans-Jordan the new commission is authorized to re- commend boundaries for the 01'0- posed Arab and Jewish areas and for the enclaves to be rcialned per- mancntly or tcmporarify under British mandate, which will:

1. Afford reasonable prospect of the eventual establishment, with adequate security, of seli-supportng Arab and Jewish states;

2. Necessitate the inclusion of the fewest possible Arabs and Arab en- terprises in. the Jewish area, and vice verso;

8. Enable the British Government to carry out its mandatory respon- slbllitics.

The‘ccmmisslon will examne the economic and financial questions involved in partition, including the possibility of voluntary exchange of land and population, and the pro- vision of "effective safeguards for the rghta of reigious and racial minorities in the areas to be allo- cated to the Arabs and Jews, re- spectively, including protection of religious rights and propertcs."

In issuing the instructions, Mr. Ormsby-Gore makes clear that the British Government is in n0 $81158 comm'tted to the Peel Partition PI an. The government, in particular, “have not accepted the commis- sion's proposal for compulsory transfer, in the last resort, of Arabs from the Jewish to the Arab area."

Investigations of the technital commission are 0x19600311 t° 099W)? many months. If, as a. result 01' these investigations, the partition scheme is regarded as equitable 3nd practicable by His Maifisilffi 5°‘- ernment, it w'l1 be refcrrrd to the League of Nations Council for con- sidcration. 1r the League Council approves the scheme a further per- iod wl‘l be required for the estab- lishment of a new system 0i 80V- emment under mandate and nego- tiation of treaties with a View t0 the eventual establishment of inde- pendent states.
