Parliament ProrFg-ded Yesterday Afternoon With Usual Cere- monies—Voting Will Likely

Take Place In September.

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

OTTAWA, July S-Members of the House of Commons were catching late trains for their homes tonight, with the session behind them and a general election scheduled for the late summer or early fall, probably September,

Featured by a deadlock between the House and Senate over amendments to the trade and industry board which kept the Governor-General waiting nearly three hours, Parliament finally prorogucd late this afternoon with the usual pomp and color.

Lord Bessborough, ihe retiring Governor-General, read the throne speech to packed galleries and a small coterie oi‘ members and senators who stayed for the parliament- ary wind-up. It enumerated the reform bills passed during the session, predicted they would prove of great benefit to the country and announced a royal commission on pub- lic health would be appointed.

the day from the public stage to behind closed doors. The House was finished with its business at 1:80 p. m. but the Senate was still working away. While members of the House ‘amused themselves and the galleries with a sing-son!» 80v- ernment leaders in the House and Senate were attempting to iron out differences of opinion.

For two or three days. amend- ments to the trade and industry boardpill have n passed between thdtwo ‘E611 like shuttle-cock. The Senate insisted the new board should not have power to investi- gate the capital set-up of compan- ies. The House insisted it should. The Senate repeated its amend- ment today and the House reaf- While the Governor-General waited at Rideau Hall. his military escort sweltering under the hot sun, the conference between the leaders continued. Fin- ally it was agreed the House would hack down on its stand and accept the Senate deletion. Prorogation then became a matter of minutes. One of the feature of the day was the Prime Minister's assertion the election would not be delayed. It will be held, he said. as soon as the voters’ lists are completed ‘and the general election machinery running smoothly. Earlier in the day, he told his Conservative fol- lowers he would lead the party to the polls.

Early in the day the House hit one snag dealingwith elections. Af- ter considerable debating and over the protests o: Liberals, the House passed a bill substituting an affi-

challenflod voters. Session Opened Jan. 11 The House opened Jan. 17, be-

ing the sixth session of the 17th Parliament. The feature o1 the 1e;-

islativs program was the reform

bills passed. unemployment insur- ance, minimum wags laws, eight- hour day and 4a hour week legisla- tion and establishment of a trade and industry board. _

Liberals took each" bill in tum, predicted some of them would be tossed out byvthe courts as going beyond parliament's power but de- clining to make an election issue of them.

Flor the past week. the House has been engaged with minor legislation with the exception of the wheat board bill which passed yesterday and money votes in the supple- mentary estimates.

The House met at 11 a. m., and continued in session until preroga- tlon. The Governor-General was scheduled to appear in the Senate at one o'clock, then it was changed to 2:15 but it was about 3:30 when he arrived with his military escort.

The House, although actually in session (or the hiatus of two hours, spent it mostly in a sing-song. There were Irish songs, Scottish songs, French songs and even a German song. At one time. a group of Hench-Canadians sang "La Mar- scillalse" at the top of their lungs in s futile effort to drown out “My Wild Irish Rose" from across

CB-mpbsll, Liberal lender "pro came in for slash- 1118 analysis and reply from Premier MlwMlllm last nism in a broadcast Blwcch in which the Government's record during the past four years was any reviewed and defended. The Premier. in vigorous ‘orm, said the administration asked for but one consideration during the cum. nsisn. namely. that the facts be put fairly and squarely before the elec- tors, and that they be allowed to form their own Judgment on the merits of the issues involved.

The Premier expressed surprise thlt Mr- Clmbbcll. a Rhodes sello- lflr. should have treated Prlncg of Wales College as he did 1n hm Bpfieflh. and that he had not been frank enough to admit that it was a. splendid institution.

Why, he asked. should not $11,000 more be paid to college professors when there were nearly 200 more students to teach each year. Mr. Campbell had said that $100,000 could have been saved in the build. ing of Prince of Wales College. , To show the manner in which P. W. C. was being run the Premier stated that in 1930 the per capita coat, was $77, in 1931 the per cepita cost was $80, Ln 1932 the per cspita cost was $60. in 1933 the per capita cost was $59, in 1934 the per capitp, cost was $54. There was the best proof that the System was not extravagant.

The Premier branded Mr. Cflmp_ hell's statement that the govern- "hod sent an architect all over the North American continent" as being contrary to fact. He had 8011c to Toronto, consulted with the Mental Hygiene Council, and had received assistance from vari- ous other sources. Similarly the Prince Edward Island Hospital had sent 11's trustees, nurses, and reple- sentatlves through the Upper Pro- vinces as the government later had done. Because it was not pcslbie to complete the hospital units at the present. the Liberals had con- centrated their criticism to the a1- leged waste of money. yet no criti-

The Conservatives scored repeat- edly in analyzing the Liberal elec- tion platform, comparing it with broken Liberal pledges in the past, and with the present Govern- ment's concrete record of achieve- ment in meeting economic and other emergencies unprecedented in the history of the Province.

Mr. Bethune, who was the first speaker, emphasized the difficult economic conditions facing the Government on its accession to power in 1931, and the added bur- den caused by the deaths of Premier Stewart and Hon.

Informed quarters indicate Italy’ is ready to defy any initiative that Great Britain may take to coun- teract Italian policy in Africa. In- dlcatlon at the tentative suggestion made by London to cede Ethiopia a strip of British Bsmnliland, in exchange for Ethiopian economic concessions to Italy, has passed from consideration of the case as merely a colonial question, it was said, to the conviction that it is now a case of Itiayts national hon- or.

Rome is watching without nervour- ness what it believes are British ef- forts to win France to an anti-Ital- ion policy on the Ethiopian ques- tion. Confidence is felt here that France will not abandon the Fran.- co-Italian stand taken at Stress. In this connection, the recent visit to Home of Gen.
