Argues Social Credit Unoonstitutional

ii

(c. I’. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Jan. Ii-Social Cred- l as planned in Alberta is a banking scheme outside the legal jurisdiction of the provincial leg- islature, the Supreme Court was told today by Aime Geoffrion.

The Dominion counsel in the reference to determine constitu- tionality of three Alberta bills to which lieutenant-Governor John Bowen reserved assent in Septem- ber. said the essence oi.‘ Social Credit was to create a banking system or to appropriate one.

The British North America Act, Mr. Cieoffrion argued. gave to the Dominion Parliament exclusive and full control oi’ banking and any attempt by Alberta to estab- lish a Social Credit financial system within its borders would be a breach of the constitution.

The reference to test the con- stitutionally of the Alberta bills opened this morning with most of the day taken by Mr. Geoffrion in an explanation of the bills and a derailed examination of thc Social Credit theories of Major C. H. Douglas.

Trial Canadian Ship- ment Through Saint John To English Market.

MONTREAL, Jan. 11-One hun- dred and eighty-thousand samples 0i.’ eggs Englishmen may obtain within 10 clays of the time they leave Canadian nests. lcft Mont- real tonight for Saint John where they will be loaded on the freight- er Beaverbrae.

The carload of fresh eggsgath- ered from 15 cooperative organiz- ations in eastern Ontario and Que- bec, is being scnt as an experi- ment, the first big shipment oi winter-produced eggs cvcr to be sent overseas.

Freshly Laid

Lnicl no earlier than last week,

the eggs were packed and rushed to Montreal as part of.a cam- paign by producers and shippers, cooperating with the Canadian Department of Agriculture, to gain a place for winter-produced eggs in the English market.

"No fresher product of their kind will get to England from any continental country," according to W. A. Brown, chief of poultry ser- vice in the Dominion Department of Agriculture. who attended the loading here. "There is great room in the English market for Canad- ian winter-produced eggs and pro- gres already has increased to a point to justify the action we are taking. With this carlot we hcypi: to inaugurate regular weekly Ship- merits of winter-produced eggs. The next shipment will come from western Ontario."

Aid To Farmer

Arrival in London of this ship- ment, said Mr. Brown. wo'.'.i mean Canadas eggs would be placed on a par with frcsli eggs from Der.- mark "and will be moved above those from Australia." It will mean better prices for the Canadian chicken fariner "whose business can be made into one of the most remunerative forms of farming ac- tivities."
