UITAWA. April 1-The Gov- ernment bill to set up an employ- ment commission was vigorously defended in the House of Com- mons today by Dr. T. V. Grant. (Lib. King's).

Conservatives were now com- plaining because some of the pow- era of Parliament were to be transferred to a. commission, he said. For five years they had sat and watched the decay of parlia- ment. Now they were wltnesgrg the resurrection of parliament and did not recognize it.

"Prince Edward Island has been neglected for the last five years," he said. "It has been allowed to fade off the map although it is the cradle of Confederation."

If a war broke out Canada would find no difficulty in mobilizing a force of 800,000 men, in feeding and clothing them and paying ll.- l0_a day. Now when men were un- employed there seemed to be a difficulty in caring for them.

Dr. Grant suggested the un- employed be put to work on farms and paid $1.10 a day by the gov- ernment. The government would versny coumn he mush‘ at strap not need to feed or clothe them as

Far-reaching Conscription Law For Austria

VIENNA, April 1--'I‘he Aus- trian chancellery announced to- night that “plans are being worked out" to put into effect the sweeping new law to call every able bodied male between the ages of i8 and 4: into fed- eral service.

The language of the statute, passed unanimously by the fed- eral diet, was so general that without exception men between those ages can be called for either military or civil duties.

As most omcials were de- scribed as completely in the dark as to the isgnificance of the new law, the impression prevailed that approximately 60.000 men would be called each V08!‘ 101' a term of service run-

’ ning from elx months to a year. This belief was not oflicially confirmed, however.

MOSCOW. April F-(Thursday) —-Sovlet dispatches from Ulan Bator early today said Mongolian forces had reoccupied all territory invaded by Japanese-Manchcuk troops, pushing the invaders back info Manchoukuo with heavy losses.

Fighting lasted all day Tuesday and until daybreak _Wednesday. when the M " ‘ “i the outpost of Advk-Dolon, said the accounts from the capital of the Outer Mongolian Peoples Republic.

Dispatches from Ulan Bator ‘ " a statement by the Japan- ese army command In Manohoukuo that the conflict was provoked by a bombing raid of Mongolian planes a "shameless lie."

Invaders Turned Back

In the course of the day and night of fighting, the dispatches added, the invaders failed in sev- eral attempts to capture‘ Tamsyk-

Bulak, 30 miles inside Mongolia. No casualties were mentioned.

(The Japanese army general headquarters at Hsinking, Man- choukuo, said the fighting took place inside Manchoukuo.)

The Japanese and Mnnchoukuo- an troops, previous dispatches said. received reinforcing units with field guns, tanks and airplanes.

Immediate anxlet was relieved by the report figh ng had ceased and Mongolian territory cleared. Mongol troops, said Soviet sources, have strict orders not to to~ke ag- gressive action.

The positicn of the Soviet gov- ernment. was believed to be that it does not accuse the Japanese gov- ernment itself of instigating the fighting but it maintains Tokyo should take steps to control the action of the armies in Man- choukuol

Finance Minister Tables Correspond- ence In House Ex- changed With Aber- hart. .

(C. P. By Guardian's Special wire)

OTTAWA, April 1. - Refusal of Premier Aberhart to accept the pro- posed losn council control of future borrowings, coupled with his an- nounced lntentlon to convert out- standing obligat’ at a lowered interest rate, prompted the Domin- ion Government to refuse the loan required to prevent today's default by Alberta on a bond maturity of 8.200.000.

Finance Minister Dunning tabled in the House of Commons today copies cl the letters and telegrams exchanged between the two govern- ments since March i2. .

Request Refused

The last communication was a telegram from Mr. Dunning to Mr. Abcrhart. dated March 30, in which the Dominion Finance Minister re- fused to accept the natural resour- ces - sett‘ ls payable to Alberta as collateral for the requested loan.

Mr. Dunning advised Mr. Aber- hart that the natural resources award. 05.000900 and interest would be applied against what the province

already owed the federal treasury --$24.'l40,000.

Previous Mr. Abel-hart had offered to assign subsidies due Alberta from the Dominion as collateral for the loan but Mr. Dunning replied that there was no constitutional power for such assignment until the pro- posed Loan Council plan is made statutory.

It was shown that the stumbling block was mainly the refusal of Mr. Abel-hart to accept the obligations laid down in the Loan Council

“ . This “ was drawn up at a Dominion-provincial confer- ence in January at which provincial treasurer Charles Cookroft repre- sented Alberta. Mr. Cockroft ap- prcved the scheme on behalf of his province.

Plan Not Clear, Is Claim

lvlr. Aberhart declared that the plan was not sufficiently clear to him to justify his committing the province in advance. Mr. Dunning replied that the details were amply clear and understood.

It was shown in the correspond- ence that the legislation leading to amendments of the constitution that would empower the government to set up loan councils as proposed, has been delayed while Mr. Dun- "i118 wusht from Mr. Aberhart as-

WURKERSHAIM

VANCOUVER, April l—'I‘he ass- assination lncident in Japan was not a case of army versus govern- ment; it was a case of the masses versus the small financial clique which has been “exploitlng" Ja- pan, Robert Crolnie, publisher of the Vancouver sun, told a Canad- ian Club-Board of Trade luncheon today.

Mr. Cromie, who has just rs- turned from a Pacific tour. in- eluding Japan, declared the assass- inations of Feb. 26 were part of a social war, in which 09 per cent of the workers and formers stand ag- ainst a. few wealthy reigning fam- ilies.

1n addition to those killed six big financial names were on the assassination list, he said. There has been an exodus of millionaires from Tokyo.

Just Started

“Japan's social war has just started and its results will be good for Democratic countries because Japanese labor will not be sweat- ed as much in the future and their goods will rise in price closer to ours.

"The historic event of our time will not be the Great War or the great depression-it will be the modernization of Asia. The indus- trialization of Europe about a cen- tury ago, and the some thing in the United States and Canada about 50 years ago, is now in a rapid way happening in Asia. Instead of finding the sensational and the dramatic, you find peopie who are rapidly industriallzlng and socializing like you and me, only, of course, on a much lower scale. That's why these events are so im- portant to our continent and par- ticularly to Pacific ports.

"When the United states broke away from England, British trad- ers thought, they had lost all their American business. They over- looked what the growth and mod- ernlzatlon of America would do for trade in general and British trade in particular.

"It is now the same with Asia. And CODSCIOILSwaa of Asia's mod- ernization is the job of the Paol- flc Coast. Europe is the only world that Atlantic people know. but Eur- ope‘s day is dimming. Asia's big day is just beginning.
