WASHINGTON, Jan. l-L-State Secretary l-luli met an official German lllLiFSL against a bitter

anti-Hitler spccch by’ iormcr Am- ba-sador William E. Dodd today with an explanation that. United States citimns enjoy the right of free sprech.

Hans l-lvinrich Dlcckhoii, the German Ambasrarlcr. visited the Siaic Drpartmcnt to tell Hull that Dodd. who rccenty resigned from the diplomatic corps after ilve years as American envoy at Ber- lin, had insulted Hitler in an ad- dress in Ncw York last night. In parilcixlnr, he was aroused by Dodd‘s statements that under Hit- ler "almost as many personal opponents were killed in five years as Cherie: II rKing _oi Eng- land) cxccntrd in 20 years oi the 17th. century." and that Hitler is “now more absoute than any mcdiaeval Emperor of Germany." Hull repllcd that Dodd hadreslgn- ed his Ambassadorshlp, was now a private ciiizcnsnd therefore en- joyed the freedom oi speech guaranteed him by the constitu- tion.

The books, which are now being unpacked at the Carnegie Library headquarters, and are new from the publishers‘ hands, cover fiction, biography, poetry, drama, science. travel, essays, helles-lettres, trans- lations from the Classics, referen- ces, oratory, romance, history, re- ligion, philosophy and miscellan- eous subjects.

The origin of Mr. Bennett's generous donation makes an in- teresting story. Lest summer, on his visit here on the occasion of the Provincial Conservative con- vention, Mr. Bennett inspected.

, Prince of Wales College in corm-

pany with Hon. Dr. W.J.P. Mae- Miliau. The Bennett Government having contributed $28,000 towards the building cost oi the institution, he was naturally keenly interested in inspecting the College. and he complimented Dr. MacMillan very warmly on the success which had crowned the eflorts of the Mac- Millan Government in providing so handsomely for the Provinces ed- ucational requirements.

SUTTON, Ont., Jan. 14 — Flour members oi a fishing party, three men and a woman, were drowned in Lake simcoe late today when an automobile plunged through soft ice into 80 feet oi water two miles of! this fishing village. Two others, a man and a boy, escaped death. The bodies were trapped in the car at the bottom of the lake. J. Nelson, the driver, broke the glass ol a window and swam to the sur- face. Jack Wilkinson, l4, being pulled on a sleigh behind the machine, was not drawn into the water. The deed, all from nearby Bel- haven: Jaok Bird; Mrs. Jack Wilkinson; Emmanuel Nelson and William Jones. The party was proceeding over the ice seeking a favorable spot at which to fish through a hole. It was believed the car was being driven over planks laid upon soft mots in the ice when one rolled over, sending the machine skid- ding into the water. ft was thought thut as the machine crashed through the ice the rope by which young Wilkin- son's sleigh was being pulled snap- ped, saving the boy from falling into the water. lliflorts by Button authorities to recover the bodies were abandoned tonight until the morning when block and tackle will be erected at the scene in an eflcrt to raise the submerged ear.

The village of Sutton is about 50 miles north oi Toronto.

He noted some gaps in the subjects covered in the College library, and ex- pressed the hope that he would be able to contribute in some way to its improvement.

Quite recently, Dr. MscMillan received a letter from Mr. Ben- nett, recalling the pleasure which his visit to the College had given him, and stating that he had dc- cided to-contribute a. complete set 0i the Everyman series. "There will be between 900 and 1,000 vol- umes containing all the worth- while literature of the world, so that the students attending Col- lege will have no difficulty in hav- ing accem to any important book they may desire to consult," he wrote.

Mr. Bennett added: “I thought a great deal about it and concluded that to people who were showing such a desire, by study groups, to help tnemsclvu, I should endeav- our to give a helping hand."

Miss Passmore, College librarian to whom the books were con- signed, and the College staff and students in general, are naturally warmly appreciative of Mr. Ben- nett’s gift, which fills a long-felt want and will be oi priceless value to them and to succeeding stu- dents.

Discuss Proposed Leg- islation With Prime Minister.

OTTAWA, Jan. l-i-An adequate retiring allowance for all who re- tire from industry or commerce after the age of 60 was urged upon the Dominion Government in the annual legislative programme of the Trades and Labor Congress oi Canada and affiliate bodies sub- mitted today to Prime Minister Mackenzie King and his colleag- ues.

By this means, it was stated,’ greater opportunity for employ- ment would be created and cost of maintaining those young enough to work would be lessened. The delegation was headed by P. M. Draper of Ottawa.

Recommend Amendments

Constitutional amendments were recommended to enable the fede- ral government to exercise Juris- diction over social and labor orga-

nization of Canada as a. whole and over industrial and commercial activities to ensure observance o! proper standards and fair compe- tition.

Purther amendments should be made, the submission urged, to empower the federal authorities to regulate highway transport, to re- strict power oi the Senate to veto any bill passed at three separate sessions of the House of Com- mons, and to abolish appeals to the Privy Council. .

Popular Front Rallies Forces- Bonnet To Make Known

Decision Today.

(Copyright 1938 By The Hat-as News Agency)

PARIS, Jun. l4-—(CP-llavas)-The task of solving the grave French political crisis was offered tonighito Georges Bonnet, Radical-Socialist statesman who was finance min- isier in the Camille Chauiemps cabinet which fell early today over the issue of monctuigv control.

The future of the Popular‘ Front,

which has rulcd France since

Leftist coalition, the spring 0f liliiii, zlppcured

to be at stake. It was doubtful whether the Socialists and _ Communists, who brought about the collapse of the Chau- temps regime after an all-night chamber of deputies ses-

sion, would support Bonnet.

Socialisis, Communists and

Radical-Socialists make up the great majority of the Pop-

ular Front.

Summoned to the helm by President Albert Lebrun, Bonnet deferred until tomorrow the decision on whether he would attempt to form a cabinet.

Late at night Bonnet said he hoped to be able to give the Presi- dent his decision by noon tomor- row. Before that time he planned to talk with several former prem- iers including Leon Bium, Edouard Herriot, Edouard Daladier, Senator Joseph Csillaux, Albert Sarraut and Joseph Paul-Boncour.

Socialists during the night in- dlcated they would refuse to par- ticipate in a Bonnet Government but would support such a regime in parliament. 1f assured of such support Bonnet might form a cabinet almost entirely of Radical Socialists, some observers pre- dictecl.

Express Concern

France was shaken in its fin- ancia‘ structure by the complex political crisis, and forged to Sea]; postponement of the important league oi Nations Council sitting scheduled for next Monday at Geneva. Though all political fig- ures appeared anxious to end the cri-is quickly, it appeared far from certain this would be achieved.
