Situation

Foreign Seer ‘ today in the _ ouse of mmons that Britain and the United States jointly would attempt to solve the Jewish problem in Palestine and ELUOOPQ llndlcallgdbethlat Pales- even u y wou seed un- der "a trilsteeship." p m the first intimation that Britain might terminate her mari- date over the Holy Land, Bevin said that recommendations made by an Anglo-American com- mittee on the Jewish question would "facilltau arrarmements for pklliiicmg Palestine under a trustee- s p’

Presumably he referred to‘ a trusteesh of the United azinns organizat on, although he d not mike this point, clear. The com- mittees permanent rcposals, he said, would be subm tied‘ to "the appropriate agency" of the United Nations.

In Jerusalem the Jewish Na- tional Council called a general strike of Palestine marrow to protest the pro aals

"and the acting head o the Jewish eney political depart- ment sad the Jewish peo e would never submit to t e

policy expressed In lmidon.

Mr, Truman said In the state- ment that "the situation faced by the displaced Jews in Europe dur- ing the coming winter allows no de ay" and expressed hope that the committee would "with the greatest d."

A few minu s after his Com- mons statement, Mr, Bevin - in an interpretation of the Balfour Declaration of 19l'l—told a press conference that Britain "never un- dertook to establish a Jewish state” in Palestine but did to set up a Jewish nations here an must fulfill that promise.

The Balfour Declaration said the British Government favored a Jewish homeland in Palestine “with protection for the rights of non- Jewish communities."

Any attempt to settle the Pales- tine problem by force, he told Commons amid cheers, would be "resolutely dealt with."

llsley Stand Pondcred 0n Parliament liill

By R-K. CARNEGIE

OTTAWA. Nov. l3 — (OP) —— titutionai authorities on Per- ent today were pondering

the statement made\ by acting Prime Minister Ilsley yesterday that while the Govemlrnent is res- ponsible to Parliament. the Gov- ernment's authority not dele-

to it bv Parliament but re- ceived from the Crown.

A Liberal lawyer. regarded by as a constitutional author-

ue with Mr. Haley's stand and in a memorandum claimed that to all practical pur- poses the cabinet is a committee of the House of Commons and cm- not function without the confl- dence and the authority of Par- liament.

This memorandum set out that Mr. Haley's statement with res- pect to the powers of Ministers of the Crown as dlstinllllished from those of the House of Commons is oi far-reachinll effect. Mr. 1i- slev made his statement on the motion of John Bracken. Progres- sive Conservative leader. for the production of correspondence ex- cchsnged between officials of

rown.

"The authority of the Govern- ment.” Mr. Iislev continued. "is not delegated by the House. His Maleetys advisers are sworn in as advisers of the Crown.

“The Government is responsi- ble to Parliament. which I have admitted in every word of my speech but that is a different thiliu from the doctrine that the Gov- ernment is s committee of the House of Commons or that it ex- ercises authority delegated by tho Hohlse of Commons. That is not

so.

Replying to that statement, the lawver in his memorandum said:-

“The weakness of Mr. Ilsleyh reasoning is 1n the fact that the King oi the United Kinzdom ls a constitutional sovereign. He can- not delegate to his Ministers more power than possesses himself

Majesty cannot maintain 111 office a ministry which does not possess the confidence of the House of Commons"

As a necessary ioc. the memorandum said the Ministers o! the Crown. although chosen by the King. or in Canada by _the Govern- or-General. are there by the uraci- and with the consent. of the House of Commons and can no longer exercise their functions when such consent is withdrawn.

"Th is clearly demonstrated." he continued "by the fact there are a number of statutes eh- acted bvsthe Psrllumenf of Can- sda and glviua luflsdlcJi to til»: head of each departme .. namell the particular Minister of the Crown clianzed with its adminis- tration, certain definite powers and urlsdfction.

"T quest-ion before the House was whether the House could or- der Ministers of the Crown produce official documents. 'I'l‘r: Minister of Finance contended lie could refuse ts-bling anv documeni and that the House had no power to order the tsbling cf such dc- cument inasmuch as the ceblnei received its authority from the Crown and not from the House

"It is s very subtle and thin distinction. Mr. llslev would no longer be ter of Finance if the House of Commons so decreed and the Government could not

refuse to fllu documents ordered bv the House."

DY ARTHUR. MEEILII. HALJFAX. Nov. l3 — (C?) — Demons-e University. looking to a new era. as s. centre of Maritime leenimg in ccntlulrlcticui with the launching of the new peace, today installed Dr. Alexander miooh Keri‘. B.D., D.D., as its sixth president. The colorful inauguration cere- mony. attended by leaders of edu- cation from many parts of Canada and the Unified States, along with the student body and alumni of Dalhousle and public figures of the Mm-ltirnes, was conducted by Col. 3.0. Laurie. chairman of the board of governorp.

In his inauguration address, Dr. Kerr emphasized the necessity oi the iuiivesrity receiving state finan- cial support from the governments of the three Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland. if it were to fulfill properly its mission as the only in- stit/ution 1n the area providing pne- feaslonel training in medicine, dent- istry and law.

This opinion was endorsed by Dr. G.J. lineman, former president of Mount Allison University, Sackvllle, N.B., chairman of the central axi- visory committee on education in the Maritime Provinces and New- foundland.

Dr. Tnieman said all other Mari- time universities were particularly interested in Dalhousie because of her medical and dental schools, but few persons had any idea how ex- pensive these were to operate. It was once thought students could be sent outside the Maritimu to study these professions. but that would be impossible in these days because the outside imlversities were so crowded

Mr. Mciure Cn Important Committee

UITAWA, Nov, 13 — (Special: - The Progressive Conservative member for Queens, had an active day 1n Parliament hiesday. N- cciving an appointment to the important nine-men steering com- mittee of the war expenditures committee which ls to investigute Government spending, disposal of surplus Crown assets and to find means of economiaing.

W. Chester S. McLure and Clor- don Isnor. the Liberal member from Halifax, who is the chairman of the full committee, are the only Maritime members of the all-im- portant steering committee.

This zteering committee will h-ur various charges and decide nst what phases of Government ac iv- lty are to be investigate’.

The procedure of referring in- vestlgatlons first to the steering committee before sending chem to the full committee, rose after a C.C.F. member had "smeared" private business and one of Ot- tawa's top senior civil servants.

Stanley Knowles, the 0.0.1“. member for Winnipeg North Cen- tre. had disclosed that C. C. Car- doea, a Government investigator. had resigned after beln told by his superiors to "lay of" his en- .quir . As a result of his investi- gation into the shoe industry, two rlvate firms, said Mr. Knowles ad refunded $44,000 in subsidies to the government.

The Committee's Stand

The committee felt that such chs es, so far "unfounded", shoud be threslied out by a steer- ing committee befcre being blazon- ed across the country.

The steering committee will look into them, and if there is any foundation for them In fact, then the investigation will be made before the full committee.

Arthur L. Smith, Progressive Conservative member for Calgary West, taking s position similar to that of Mr. McLui-c, sr ues that while "smearing" should avoid- ed. the committee could not n.‘- ford any half-measures in in- vestigating matters so vital to the

public interest. Once started -- and in the steering committee. Mr. McLure

and his associates will determine the procedure- ‘the investigation should be “full and complete" in- cluding the thorough questioning of witnesses and the examination oi documents, contended Mr. Smith.

Other Matters

Turning his attention to thinks directly cenceming the Ma - times. Mr. McLure has placed a series of ,uesticns on the Com- mons’ order paper pertaining to the operation of the mval station at Deep Brook, Nova Eicctle. He asked:

i-How many store assistants are there at the station Coni- wsllis:

L-How many have been given their discharge since the cessa- tion of hostilities‘

ii-How many have been refus- ed release, and on whit grounds; b-Hcw many stores aalstaius are being given field and small arms training.

Haley's Position

BY GEOHGE KITCHEN OTTAWA. NOV. 13 -— (OP) -—- A Government request for another

- month's interim supply today stirred

the Commons to noisy debate which ended with acting Prime Minister Iisley challenging the Opposition to move s. vote of want-of-oonfidence if they felt that the Government's conduct was "irresponsible."

"Now. let them go ahead and do it. if they want to," Mr. llsley shouted across the chamber as he tossed a volume of the British Nortli America Act on his desk, sat down and mcpped his brow amid pro- longed applause from the Liberal benches

The debate. interspersed by unruly scenes as members shouted at each other across the floor, arose from a statement yesterday by Mr. Ilsley that the Government received its authority from the Crown and not from Che House of Commons.

Today, M.r Ilsley said he stood by every word he said yesterday and repeated from I-Iansard the conten- tious statement:-

“Hls Meiestyk advisers are sworn in as advisers to the Crown. The Govenune-nt is responsible to lisnyerirt...birt that is a different think from the doctrine that tihe Government is a committee of the House of Commons or that it exer- clsm authority delegated by the House of Commons. That is not so."

It was that statemen‘ which John Bracken. Progressive Conser- vative leader, challenged as “autov cratic," “incomprehenslble" and "some of the most extraordinary constitutional principles which have been heard In this chamber since Confedq-atiloii.”

g .

M]. Coldwell. 0.6.1". leader, Joined the debate briefly to say he was "quite sure that the progressive People of this country will never ad- mit that any newer is derived from the Crown." The power was derives from the people of Canada.
