Canadian Press Staff Writer

EDMONTON, Fleb. 23—-A 80-day moratorium on private debts was announced tonight by the Alberta Government. 1t applied to debts contracted before Jan. 1. 193B with an extensive list; of exceptions.

EDMONTON. Feb 23—The Aber- liart Government received its s 0nd rebuff 1n n week today when Mr. Justice W. C. Ives of the Al- bcrta Supreme Court ruled un- constitutional its legHation cut- ting interest on provincial bonds. saving; certificates and guaranteed

1 securities.

The judgment came four days after Mr. Justice A. l". Ewing. outlawed the Reduction and Settlement of Debts Act. the key- lcgislatlon dealing with private debts. Both enactments were de- clared unconstitutional bet-nus: they invaded the field of lntciv t a prerogative of the Federal Per-

llament under the British North
