UITAWA, March 19—(CP)-— Parliament opened its short pre- electlon session today with e min- imum of fonnailty and at once gained an outline of the business before it in conning weeks. The business ls all international and

financial.

On the international side it con- sists of CllSCUSSlOll and approval of Canadian participation in the work o! creating an international organization for the maintenance of peace and security.

On the financial side it consists OL e ni- estimates totalling ts, .270, . the money required to carry on war and other govern- mental eotivlties until the regular 1946 session can be held after the general election.

If parliament approves a rcsolut- ion on world security oi which Prime Minister Mackenzie King gave notice it probably will bc the first United Nations parliament to go on record in favor of the "pur- poses and principles" of the plan
