Utilities Show Strength On New York Mart

By FREDERICK GARDNER Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 12—Stnck market leaders bucked proﬁt cash- ing today and retreated o. little in the process.

Only the utilities, as a group, stayed on the plus side through- out the session, although a few rails and gold mines held gains earned in an early rally.

Reports the administration fav- ored cooperation with the utilities on a program calling for non-dup- lication of private facilities pro- vided the focus of resistance for power company shares.

Issues were generally improved on the Canadian list. Dome gain- ed 1 1-8 points to 56 1-8. Gains of 7-8 of a. point and less were shown in International NjckeLMc-

‘lntyre, Brazilian, Marconi, Ford,

Transactions fell under yester- day's ﬁgure, totalling 1,200,800 shares against 1,506,260. The As- sociated Press average of GOstocks dropped .2 of a point. Utilities in

' lthe compilation added .60 of a

In Memoriam

MR. JOHN DEVEREAUX

It is with deep regret and a feeling of personal lcs that we pcn these lines in the memory of John Devereaux who passed away to his Eternal reward at his home in New Haven on the morningof Dec. 25th. The ‘eceased was 77 years old and enjoyed a fair measure of health up to a few months ago vrhen he was stricken with an illness which, despite all medical treatment and tender nursing, proved fetal, and he passed pence- fully away, on Christmas morning. to be forever in the presence of the Prince of Peace.

John Devereaux was a life-long resident. of New Haven and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. He was strictly honest and charitable and his word was as good as his bond. By honest toil and intelligence he built for himself and his family a lovely home where all were welcome, where the Wayfarer and the traveller were kindly admitted and generously cared for, and where he ruled with a firm but gentle hand.

In his early manhood he mar- ried Teresa McGuigan, of Kcllys Cross, who proved indeed a faith- ful helpmate and who, with their daughter. Mary, R.N., was con- stantly at his sickbed in his last declining days, tenderly caring for him In the hope that his health might be again restored to him. But God willed otherwise,

During his illness he was fre- quently vlstted by his pastor who administered to him all the com- fortlng sacraments for the dying.

Much will he be missed in the community and in the parish of St. Ann's where his wise counsel was eagerly sought and freely given. But. it is in the home where his absence will be keenly felt for he was in very truth a loving husband and a kind father.

Besides his sorrowing wife he leaves to mourn his passing the following family: Joseph and Frank in Worcester, Mas, Mary. E.N., and Ivan at home. Two brothers Micheal, New Haven, and William, San Francisco and two sisters, Helen. Charlottetown. and Mrs. Elizabeth Campbell, Millcove survive him. One son, Jack, stu-

Ident at P.W.C., predeceased him

fifteen years ago.

The funeral was held from hls late iesidence to 5t. Ann's church on Dec. 27th and, despiw the n.1- mosi. impassable condition of the roads, was well attended. The

services at the church and It the

grace were performed by htl pu- tor, Father Her-roll. The pall-

Prairie Views For Record As Quest Resumes

(BY CARL REINKEI (Canadian Pres staff Writer) l OTTAWA, Jon. l2 - (OP) _ Faced with common problems varying only in decree, the Man- itoba and Saskatchewan govern- ments travelled along broadly similar lines in their recent sub- ‘ missions before the Royal Com- imission on Dominion-Provincial Relations which will reopen sitt- ings here Jan. 17.

Nationalization of social services, especially unemployment relief. ' was the keystone of the formula. proposed by each province as a remedy for their precaen-t difficult

Provincial debt adjustment on a lower interest basis and substan- nal change in national tariff and freight mte policies were likewise held fundamental to a. solution of the present situation, but Domin- ion assumption of social services was felt most vital, for these reas- ‘ ons:

i The Dominion government had

unlimited taxing powers while fixed provincial revenue sources _ were inadequate to the growing:

burden. Such a. shifting, it was}

argued. would also tend to offset‘

exi-ting “inequities” cf the country i

and vrouizi assure every Canadian

a certain minimum standard of

social services, regardless of geo-

graphy or climate.

i Next week some of the more nut.- , lcnal aspects of Dominion-Pro- i vincial Relations will be placed be- ;fore the commission. Basic prob- lems of confederation will be pict- ured then from the viewpoint of big business and organized labor. from the viewpoint of various pro- fessional groups and industrial in- teresls.

For 10 days such national organ- izations as the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, the Com- munist Party of Canada, the Cen- adian Chamber of Commerce. will submit their views on the consti- tutional and economic ills of the country.

Resuming Tour

Alter that the conunisslon will proceed with its hearings in ‘the provincial capitals, opening at Halifax Feb. 3 and Charlottetown, Feb. 10. hen Edmonton March 2, Victoria. March 14, Toronto April i19 and Quebec May 2. The New Brunswick brief will likely be heard between the British Columbia and Ontario sittings.

In its Manitoba and Saskatche- wan hearings, it was generally felt the commission made a fortunate start on Us historic task of seaw- ing possible financial defects in the British North America Act. In both cases the governments had conscientiously assembled a great mass of relevant data and motor- iei, much of it never compiled b6- fore, purporting to show just how impossible their present situation was. ‘Phey theorized about causes and then proposed their solutions.

A major cause of the financial embarrassment of both provinces was held to be the imposition of a host of new social services in recent years while their revenues were still gauged to government activities of the “horse-and-buggy days of '10 years ago when the British North America Act was adopted.

Both agreed the strain of the last seven years, through the dead- ly combination of depressed farrn pTiOCs and bad crops. had revealed faults in the present set-up and left the provincial govemment with an overwhelming load of debt. They contended, however, that pro- vincial revenues were now so far out of line with provincial respon- ibiiities that they could not meet even what had become normal government expenditures, exclusive of relief.

Manitoba presented a clear-cut and well-organized case. It pro- posed the provinces should be com- pieteiy relieved of the burden of relief and old age pensions and half the responsibilities for other mcial services.

It proposed that the provincial debt problem should be met by tho Dominion assuming the total rc- lief debt. by the Dominion assum- ing the total relief debt. by the D0- mmion capitalizing its subsidies to the province at 3 1-4 per cent and by refunding the rest of the pro- vincial debt at that same interest rote-with Dominion aid.

Chmnges Suggested

As compensation, Manitoba was prepared to turn over its succession dutlaa to the Dominion but not its income tax. which is more sub- stantial. It promised also to in- crease its grants to the municipal- ities substantially.
