(CI. By Guardian's Special Wire)

UPTAWA, Rb. 28—‘1‘he govern- ment today revealed it hopes to es- tablisn a board to direct the whole policy oi grain marketing in Can- ads, domestic and foreign, to ad- vise producers oi probable world requirements oi wheat and feed grains and to obtain efficient rog- ulations for distribution o! grains in Canada.

It was made known efforts to stabilise export wheat marketing will be only part of the board's job which will include powers to buy and sell, store and ship.

Notice oi motion on the House o.’ Commons order paper that" the board would be proposed to perito- ment contained no information rc- garding details of the plan and none was iothocming from cflicial circles. It was understood, however. that the question of rail rates on feed grains ior domestic consump- tlon will be closely allied with its activities.

Accordin to tbo best information available board will be given wide general powers to regulate the grain industry although it was con- sidered possible no drastic charga

OBJECTION sRAlSED TO STATEMENT BY DIPLOMAT

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

OTTAWA. Feb. m-Right cf a foreign diplomat accredited to Ot- tawa. to advocate substitution of a dictatorship for a. democratic form of government, was questioned in ﬁre House of_ . today. - It will be the su icct of government consideration and a statement in the House, possibly tomorrow.

Humphrey Mitchell (Lab. Hamil- ton East) read an extract from a newspaper report oi a speech deliv- ered by Commandatcre Lui I. Pet- rucci, Italian Consul General in Canada, at a banquet of Italian or- ganizations herc recently.

Mr. Petrucci was reported as say- ing: "1 can safely say of Canadian cithens of Italian origin that to them is reserved the great task of explaining to their fellow citizens the real meaning of the Fascism of Mussolini, so that it will be much easier for Canadian peopiq to adapt themselves gradually to the new economic and political system which is hardlypavoidablc."

Mr. Mitchell's question was this: “Has the representative oi another country, enjoying diplomatic privil- eges, the right to advocate in effect the substitution cl a democratic form of government by that of a dictatorship? And what action does the government contemplate to cor- rect such interference in the domes- tic affairs of this Dominion?"

"We shall have the matter consid- ered and give the honorable gentle- man an anwer tomorrow." was the reply oi Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley, acting leader ci the House in the absence of the Prime Minister.
