(By Louis

BERLIN, March ZG-Anglo-German security discus- sions ended late today apparently without providing solu- tion for any oi’ the major problems imperiling peace.

Britain’s representatives were obviously disappointed, while the Germans seemed as determined as ever in their old demand for complete equality among nations;

A brief, Iiguely-phrased official communique revealed little other than the bare fact that the conversations, held 'in the frankest and friendliest spirit,” took up the matters fret out in the London communique on Feb. 3.”

Authoritative sources, however, said the highlights of ihe last day's pariey between Sir John Sims/J and Capt. linthonyEden, British Foreign Secretary and Lord Privy Seal, and Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and Baron Konstan- iin Von Neurath, Foreign Minister, were these:

Conversations Clarify Viewpoints

The oﬂioe communique summed up the R-SliltS of the two days con- ference as follows:

"The subjects under- discussion were the mattcrs set out in the Iiondon communique res. 3. The conversations were carried on in the franks-st and friendliest spirit and resulted in complete clariﬁcation of each others viewpoints.

“Both sides agreed that they were pursuing the goal of securing and consolidating the peace of Eur- ope by Promoting international c0- operutlcn. ,

Maritimes Receive Better Treatment Under Present Gov- ernment Than U n- de_r Last Liberal Ad- ministration.

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

OTTAWA, March Iii-John H. Myers (Cons. Queen's) continued budget debate in the House of Commons tonight.

Thejiberai financial critic had a tough 10b trying to criticise the budget, he claimed, and could not have done it at all if he had not been a better politician than a Canadian citizen.

Mr. Myers claimed the Bennett Government was a friend to the Canadian National Railway and the Canadian Pacific as well. The railway problem was not created by the government but in the years tc come, when trade revived, the railways would do better.

‘It was doubtful, Mr. Myers said, if the railways ever would be self- supportlng again without a Do- minion subsidy. Partly this was due to truck competition, over which the Dominion had no con- trol.

The Bennett Government, Mr. Myers said, was willing to reduce tariffs in favor of all nation". ready to show reciprocal action toward Canada. It stood ready to clear trade channels as witnessed by tho Ottawa conference agreement.

He claimed the Maritime Prov- inces had received better treat- ment from the Conservative Gov- ernment than the lsst Liberal ad- ministration. Hc referred to tho Duncan Commission oi 1926 which

ommended upward revision of Maritime subsidies but claimed Aha lldbcrals did nothing perman- ent in the next four years to im- plement the report. Only tempor- ary increases were paid.

It was not. until 1934 under the Bennett Government that per- manent increases were paid.

The Ottawa conference agree- ments will lapse in 1036, Mr. li/lyers continued. He asked the Canadian people who they wanted to renew them—"the Liberals who fought them in season and out of season, or the man who had the brains and the courage to go to the United Kingdom, tell them what he wanted and come home with the bacon."

George Coote (U.F.A. MacLeod) criticised the government for add- ing $600,000,000 to the interest- bearing debt since it came into office.

He suggested a national dividend to Rive purchasing power 'to,the people and enable them to buy back goods that were produced. It was Just as easy ic issue credit with interest It was the lob of government today to bring money and machines under control.

Mr. Lea, who was speaking in the Budget debate, referred to the Association's financial difficulties as "an act of God" and as a. "dis- aster" which could not have been averted. After commending the Association's achleveme" in the past, he said it was his opinion that the Government had been “lax ln its duty" in not coming to the organization's, assistance by guaranteeing their bank overdraft. It would not, he maintained, have meant the payment of any of the taxpayers‘ money. New Brunswick had guaranteed bonds for building a starch factory and every gov- ernment in Canada had come to the assistance of seine co-operat- ive organization.

Ontario Minister of Pub- , llc Welfare, today said the govem- I merit has under consideration ex- tensive plans looking toward the care of the entire fan-lily 0f M2‘. and Mrs. Olive. Dio no as well as their quintuplet deug ters.

The Minister, who piloted the guardianship bill respecting the quintuplets through the legislature, said much improvement to the present Dionne home was planned, even to the extent of building a new one if necessary.

He said all wants of the family such as food and clothing would be provided and Dionne would re- ceive a monthly allowance sufficient to take can: of incidental expenses. The government also has under consideration means to provide ed- ucational facilities for the five older children. During the past winter those of school age were unable to attend school because of snow cov- cred roads. The children now speak only munch and it is planned to teach them both English and French.

The government is also consid- ering improvements to the Defoe hospital that may include a largo glass-covered solarium where tour- ists and visitors would be able to see the quintuplets.

Mr. Lea: “Personally, yes. I cer- tainly would have guaranteed it. I made it clear last year when I was at the Association meeting. I said I was not going to criticise the Government for doing toc much or too little. but had I been in their place I would have done so."

The former Minister of National Defence climaxed a many-sided in- dictment of the government by mov- ing a straight want-oi-confidencs motion against the administration. It read: “This House regrets the proposals submitted by the Minister of Finance are entirely inadequate to meet the serious and acute situa- tion prevailing in Canada and offer an additional reason why an appeal to the people should not be longer delayed."

Col, Ralston sat down while pro- longed desk-pounding from the Lib-
