.. Alarmed Over Amused Pensions

V UITAWA. Marrli l7---<CPi _. Alarmed at a hmivy increase in 011158.? on old age pensions and the prevalence oi abuses in the Iystcm, Flllﬂllf!‘ Minister Dunning P7090581! iii ‘he House of Com- mons today that a conference ex- clusively devoted to old age pen- sions be held with the Provincial Governments.

The conference will be held be- tween now and the next session of parliament and any proposals agreed upon will be submitted to arllament. The Minister made is statement as the House took advantage of the second reading and committee stage of the bill to provide pensions for blind per- wons at the age 0t 40 to discuss the whole subject oi‘ old age pen- tions.

By i941 the total cost of old age pensions rm Dominion and Provinces» on the has“ 0f U10 ilresent system would be $46,000,000 and by 195i $62,- 000,000.

Abuses in the system necessitat. ed the appointment of inspectors and numerous cases of persons wltli substantial property and real income obtaining the ppm sions had come to light, said Mr. Dunning. Possibly these difficul- ties were due to the inherent weak- ness of a system which required Joint action on two independent authorities, one contributing most of the money and the other spend- ing it.

After listening to a number of complaints from British Columbia members chiefly to the effect de- serving persons found it hard to get pensions Mr. Dunning declar- ed: "'I‘he abuses are very great in

The prtilllClll, he said, could be solved by giving the Dominion Government. full and sole control

by a constitutional ellanqc. The Dominion, however. should not take on the added responsibility without an additional s lrce of revenue lit-int: nzo transferred from the provinces.

An ox-drawn cart was passin; Mussolinrs car when the unima! became tangled in its homes-i.

Peasants in the cart frightened the animal with shouts arid commands. Suddenly it bellowed and, lowering its horns, lunged at the dictator- Mlarsliall Italo Balbo. Governor of Libya, and other members of the . party seized the ox by the horns and, with the aid of the peasants, threw it to the ground.

Mussolini watched the struggle, then reproved the peasants for careless handling of the ox and the caravan continued. | II Duce was accnimed by thou-i sands of Mosems wlille his political, military and tic" tour of Liyba. -
