It ’s Midsummer But London Talks Woollies

AUSTRALIA POINTS T0 FINENESS OF HER PRO-

DLTLMS-FASHIONS BRIGHT WITH

POPULAR ASCOT.

(By MOLLIE MCGEE stamina“ Press Correapunaenti

LONDON. June Tl——iC‘PJ—-T8.k— ing the tickle out of wool i< oc- Cllpying some of the most ingenious minds in England and Australia, Stanley M. Bruce, high commis- sioner for Australia, told a smart audience attending a wool fashion show in Lxiildon during Ascot race week. He added this wias absolutely necessary if women were to be made wool-conscloils-a remark that seemed slightly contradictory.

The show~organized in conjunc- tion with scvcral of Londons fore- most drensmaking houses-present not only claj.~tune and evening wear. but even lilmv nnderthings so fine they could not have held anything ls plebeian as u tickle.

The main fashion show in Ens- land was of comse as A-eot. It is usual or silpposedly correct for the women attending to iveni‘ a dil- ifcrent dress on each day. but a resume of the style» seen at the opening gives an idea of what is now considered the latest and the smartest.

The Duchess of’ Kent wore the black and white material she had chosen at De-i-‘yy House. with sil- ver fox furs—thoilgh the weather was sunny and worm-and a high Edwardian hat rather like a hus- sai-‘s budily. ornamented with a single ilpstarlding ostrich plume

“They Gave Him A Gun” Now At Prince Edward

Spencer Tracy demonstrates his phenomenal ability for the fourth successive venture in “They Gave him a Gun." which opened at the Prince Edward Theatre yesterday- The film has Tracy. Gladys George and Franchot Tone in the principal roles.

The story deals with two men and a woman. Tracy is a circus barker who enlists in the regulars. Tone is a small-twon clerk who finds himself in the army and up in the front lines. A gun gives him courage. Gladys George is s Red Cross nurse.

When Tracy is reported miss- iniz. she marries Tone. out of pltv. Tracy e=caiies from an enemy pr - son camp and the trio meets a~ gain in civil life. with the war ended. Familiar now with the use of a gun. the wcakling has become a llancstcl‘. ‘Tracy tries to save him but falls. A police bullet gets in nhcrld of him

As a siorv and a picture to re- fleet the evils of war and its after- math. "Thcy Gare Him a Glm‘ Ls a powerful medium. But it 1s more than that. It affords Tracy and his coucagiles an opportunity for first rate artistry. which none of them has overlooked.

‘The aildicnce at the Prince Ed- ward Theatre was obviously im- pressed. The film is a moving de- mnnsfratlon of the new screen technique.

liiicussilii llNl. c. A. lcl IN SENATE

The followin excerpts are from Hsnsard repo of the Senate do- bates, June 21, on the subject of s massage from the House of Com- mons disagreeing to an amendment made by the Senate to Bill 25. an Act to amend the Farmers’ Cicdi- tors’ Arrangement Act, 1934. Sen- nte Hughes was pr ed in his re- msrks by Senators Meighen Casgrain. Homer, Farris and Calder:

Hon. J. J. Hughes: Honourable senators, I am one of those who four years ago voted to bring into existence the Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act, and a few days ago I voted for the amendment we are now considering. So I want to make my position clear.

The fact that this Bill has been returned from the other House, the Government declining to accept the amendment made by the Senate, is

roof to my mind that the Minister n whose department the Farmers‘ Creditors Arangement Act is ad- ministered wishes to have the power to terminate it when and where he thinks such action should be taken. It is a fairly heavy re- sponsibility for the Minister. The senate, by its discussion of the measure and its amendment to the Bill. expressed its desire to share this responsibility with him. It is quite evident. however, that he thinks better results will be obtain- ed if the Governor in Council is given power to act entirely on his own initiative. Possibly the Min- Lister is right. In these circum- stances it seems to me to be the duty of the Senate to accede to the wishes of the Government and the other Hmise by agreeing to the Governor in Council being given that ower.

Bu this does not. prevent us from discussing the matter here and now. In fact. to my mind, 1t increases the duties of members of this House to give the Minister all the information thev can in regard to the working of the Act in every

art of the country, which m- ormatlon. I feel sure. he will wel- come, because when he told the other House he could not accept the Senate amendment he asked the members here to ive nlm their opinions freely. I sha try to com- ply with that request. In my opinion it is practically impossible to get satisfactory re- sults in the provinces unless the men administering the Act there are capable, honest and free from class rejudicas. It is equally im- posslbe to expect satisfactory re- sults _in Canada as a whole ilnless the director and his staff in Ottawa are also honest, capable and free from class prejudices.

the Act. prepared by the head of- fice here and submitted to Parlia- ment. show the expenditures in the several provinces. I have read from those reports and put some of the eXlwidltures on Hansard. If the members of this House. the mem- bers of the other House. and the Government, think these expendi- tures are all right. I have only this to say on that phase of the subject at present. When the direc- tor in Ottawa was giving evidence before our Banking and Commerce Committee. I asked him if he ever found it necessary to reduce any of the expenditure accounts he re- ceived. nnd he said yes. and that by the reductions he had saved the treasury large stints of money. Then I asked him if he had ever found it necassary to increase ex- penditure accounts he had re- ceived. and he answered in the af- firmative. These answers told me much. but I do not think they were equally revealing to all the other members of the committee.

l-lon. Mr. MacArthur: Hear. hear. Hon. Mr. Hughes: Now, with re- gard to the class prejudices of the officials administering this Act - of which overwhelming evidence is supplied by the officials them- selves —-I milst take up the mem- orandum read -by the honourable leader of the Senate iHon. Mr. Dandurand) on the 25th ultimo. I shall read only the short part re- ferring to Prince Edward Island. Here it is:

"2. Now as to Prince Edward Is. land. The debt situation of farm- ers in Prince Edward differs from that in almost every other prov- ince. in that. the great proportion of these farmers’ debts fs to lo~al merchants. who have taken morta- ages on the farmers‘ property. Many of these mortgages have been in existence for several eneratlons. the farmer tilrninsz hs produce over to the merchants. who, in turn. sold him his supplies. These merchants are violently orricscd to any change in an arr ngement which. for many genera oils. has been extremely satisfactory to themselves. but not so satisfactory to the farmer.

"Many cases of hardship have been reported in this connection.

The following are two sample cases” I should like to direct the at-

tention of honourable members to the two “sample cases." Hera they

are.

"The creditor has been charging his debtors l0 per cent interest on his bills, taking cattle, grain or other produce, whether the debtor farmer could spare it or not, and is reported to have allowed these farmers only one-half of the value of such stock and produce ss a credit on his bill."

That is "some" statement. Now, cue No. 2:

“A ‘woman owned s folr farm and provided s living for her son, his wife snd s family of ten child- ren. She owed s mortgage of $850
