It was reported Eden ~lll convey to Marshal Joseph Piisudski and Polish leaders tomorrow a sugges- tion of Russia that the Eastern Lo- camo Pact proposal be split into Baltic and Danubian agreements.

A Polish foreign office spokesman previously had said while Poland was opposed to the Eastern pact in its piesent form, any modification Eden might suggest would be listen- ed to with interest. Poland's par- ticipation in each a pact is known to be one of Britain's chief desires.

The potato board decided to hold a meeting here next Wednesday to recommend any amendments to the marketing scheme as may be neces- sary to comply with the Wishes of Quebec.

At the same time Mr. Bimows ieplied to criticism from some po- tato shippers in Now Bmnsudck and Prince Edward Iain-mi that shipments from those provinces to the markets at Montreal.

For February and March in each of the years 1933, 1934 and 1935, carlot shipments were received in the Central Canada. markets, as folllows:

“The month of January on our markets was comparative to these figures showing quite clearly that prior to the commencement of the marketing scheme shipments of New Brunswick potatoes particular- ly were being curtailed due to the excessive production in the prov- inces of Ontario and Quebec,” Mr. Burrows said.

Although the sponsors of the Po- tato Marketing Bound had no ex- pectation that under its regulation shipments would ‘be increased, "it did expect and has been successful in scouring a very material increase in the price paid to the producer for the shipments made.” In ad- dition. he added. steps had been taken to increase the manufacture of potato starch and dextrln in Canada and to develop further ex- port mivirels particularly for the Maritllne Provinces.

CITAWA, April 1--The embargo on cattle coming from Great Brit- ain to Canada except after passing through the London quarantine station went into effect as a re- sult of ‘a small outbreak of foot and mouth disease near Glasgow, it was stated today by officials of the Department of Agriculture. The question was discussed in the Brit- ish House of Commons.

Twenty-five pure-bred short-horn cattle were recently purchased in Ireland, durlnr, February by an Ori- tario importer and these have been held up as a result of the em- bargo. mrtaln farms about Glas- gow have been quarantined and the embargo by Canada will be lifted as soon as the British agri- cultural authorities show by lifting the quarantine the disease has been stamped out.

VATICAN CITY, April 1—Pope Pius XI launched the might of the Roman Catholic _ Church in afi campaign against

national ance, did not ac- cuse any one na- tion or people of “desiring war," but warned that p," pi“; XL the European

horizon "again is darkened by ob- scure clouds, shot by sinister flashes of light."

Inspired By Hitler's Move?

l-Iis words were regarded as pos- sibly inspired by Chaneellor Hit- ler's drastic move to re-arm Ger- many when the Holy Father said: "Quas contra Jus flunt nec fieri posse oredenda." ("They who vio- late the right cannot be trusted?) _ As 20 venerable princes of the church sat in the consistory hall, the doors guarded by Swiss guards in medieval uniform, the Pope re- called the words of Christ: "Thou shalt hear the rumble of war and sedition; there will be great cal- amitles-famines, frightful liap_ penings in the sky and great pro- digies; men shall be appalled by fear and expectation over what will happen in the univcrsej’

“We cannot believe." the Pontiff continued. “that those whd should have in their hearts only a desire for prosperity and happiness of peoples, wish to drive to massacre, ruin and extermination not only

their own peoples but also the greater part of humanity. “However. he added, “if some-

Iii opening l his address Mr. Arsenault referred with regret to the personal remarks in which the last speaker (Mr. McIntyre) had indulged, in attacking the leader of the Government. Notwithstand- ing such attacks, he reminded the Opposition member, no man stands higher in the esteem of the suffer- ing people of this Province than does the Premier whose zeal and concern for all matters connect- ed with public health were to his credit. What, after all, Mr. Arsen- ault asked, are the functions of Government? Is it not one of the greatest governmental responsibil- ities to look after those people who are unable to look after them- selves? Is it a matter for criticism that the government should have been desirous of establishing an institution at Falconwood where the patients would have the oppor- tunlty of being cured as well as

Or that the Minis- ter of Agriculture should be direct- ing his efforts to bring the bene- nts of the Department to the smal- ler farmers and b0 the outlying districts where assistance and en- couragement are most needed. "Our problems." he said, “are too serious to have the time‘ of the House wasted in talking Domin- ion and European affairs."

a FATALISTIC ARGUMENT

The Eir-Miilistei- of Public Works in the Lea Government had re- ferred to successive governments going out of office after four years, each one enjoying only one term, and had argued from this that the present Government would follow suit. In other words, the Opposi- tion member was trying to impress the doctrine of fatalism on the minds of the people. That was the hopc the Liberal party was bulld- ing on. in the absence of any logi- cal reason wily the electors should elect theln on their own merits.

That the Liberals were not as well qualified as the present Gov- ernment to lead this Province out of the depression was evident, Mr. Arsenault showed, from an analy- sis of their financial record and policies.

The leader of the Opposition, he pointed out, was himself a farmer; yet he had spent a considerable amount of time criticising the Government because it was intro- ducing a cow testing policy. and he

CLAIMS PUWER PABTS V95!)

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

TORONTO, April 1—The On- tario Government took the first step today to repudiate power purchase contracts negotiated by the former hydro-electric power commission with four Quebec pow- er companies. Confessing he faced "the most difficult task that has ever been mine in my nine years of public life," Premier Mitchell Hepburn introduced in the Legis- lature a bill. “The Hydro-Electric Power Commission Act 1935," which declared contracts with the Gatineau Power Company. Beau- harnois Light, Heat and Power Company, Ottawa Valley Power Company and James MacLare-n Company were "illegal, void and unenforceable."

Ontario, however, will continue to purchase power from Gatineau under the existing contract, the Premier said, but will not be bound by the terms of the contract. The contracts with the other three companies will be terminated when the bill receives Royal as- sent.
