Sub-committees reporting today to the Redistribution Committee of the Commons recommended that no changes be made in the two Provinces, which. like New Bruns- wick. would not gain or lose any seats under the bill.

J. M. Declrcnc tL-Athabaska), chairman of the sub-comittee for Alberta, said the members ol that Province agreed that there should he no changes in the boundaries because Alberta was due to gain a scat in the next redistribution and a realignment of boundaries would be necessary then,

ll. Z. Press ls Critical 0f Canadian Policy

By J.C. GRAHAM (Canadian Press Correspondent) AUCKLAND, NZ. March 11

(OP) - Criticisms of some aspects of Canadian foreign policy have ap- peared in the New Zeal-arid press recently and an explanation on some points by the Cart-adian high commissioner, Dr. Alfred Rive. met further criticism.

In an address to the Auckland Rotary Curb. Dr. Rive said Canada would resist any attempt within the British Commcnwcalthv t0 set up a superior" governmental auth- ority. A scheme involving the sur- rerader- cf some of the powers of lthe free and independent nations within the Ccmmc/wealih so that some sort of a super body could be established was quite beyond the grounds of practical politics so far as Canada, was concerned.

Commenting on the address the ]N8W Zealand Herald remarks: (‘Why L; it that Canada. which set ‘such an inspiring example of un- selfish Commonwealth patriotism 1n thq war, should so osteniatiouslv avoid any Commonwealth obliga- tions or responsibilities in the post-war world‘). . ..

"Tirere is 1:19 stiggcstion of a st1pra-1tatlcnal goventmcnt in the idea that the prime ministers of the Commonwealth, by free ex- change of thoughts, should azfee on a common foreign policy, thus using, instead of dissipating, the strength inherent in the family"
