Inthe Legislature yesterday Mr. D. L. Malhieson asked if the At- torney Geherai was aware that the regulations under the Act to regu- late assistance for the rte-establish- ment of needy farmers and fisher- men. (Fisherman's Loan Act). as- sented to on April 18. 1936, were not published in the Royal Gazette until Jun. 15. 1949. notwithstanding that Section 3 of the Act provides that they shall coma into effect only after being so published.

Hon. Mr. Large said he would look inin the matter. It would in- volve a detailed search of Executive Council records, he said.

The Act referred to by Mr. Math- ieson provides that the Lieuten- ant Gnvernor in Council "may from time to time make regulations for the administration of any fund which may be appropriated or pro- vided to assist in the re-estabiish- ment of needy farmers and fisher- men. Such regulations may govern’ the manner in which such funds may be distributed or expended. the security, if any. to be taken for advance of cash or goods. the title of goods or chattels furnished or supplied to farmers or fishermen. and all other matters concerning the administration of such funds."

Amendment By Opposition ls Defeated

LONDON, March 2 - (C?) - The House of Commons tonight gave decisive second reading to the British Norm America bill. Clearing legal barriers to union between Canada and Newfound- land.

An Opposition amendment mov- ed .by Sir Alan Herbert. Indepen- dent member for Oxford University. was defeated 217 to 15.

Sir Alan. in moving the amend- ment to reject the bill. said that if the bill prevailed "I for one shall not he sorry to go out from a Parliament" which could so af- front a loyal people. Newfound- land is the oldest overseas com- munity in the Commonwealthi

Sir Alan said the people of New- foundland see Britain giving

Parliament and liberties to "brown

men. black men and yellow. men." Newfoundlanders who opposed con- federation merely “ranted tn de- termine their own future "instead of being chucked across the count- er like a tied-up parcel." Under the terms of union, New- foundland would become the 10th Province of Canada-with repre- sentation in the Canadian Senate and House of Commons and with its own Provincial Legislature. Second reading was moved by Philip Noel-Baker. Commonwealth Relations Minister. He said fair methods were used in ascertaining the will of Neyvfoundlanders to- ward confederation. There had been twn referenda and in both only a minority requested the old form of government.‘ . .- Nnei-Baker ldded that eminent had decided to proceed with the bill despite an appeal to the Privy Council by former mem- bers of the Newfoundland Legislat- ure.
