BllllliET MAY Nlll BE llllliN BEFURE MAY 28

Resolution for the Est-o‘ ablishment of th e Tariff Advisory Board Will Probably Be Dcbated T h is Week.

-__.i

OTTAWA, May ifs-The impression here is that the budget will not be brought down before May I8 or pos- sibly the Thursday following. This would give an opportunity oi taking into consideration the success of the conversion loan which is being offer- ed in exchange for victory bonds be- ginning tomorrow. The period for making the conversion will conclude on May 23. The loan does not make any actual difference to the expendi- tures for the coming year since the reduced rates oi interest, will not ap- ply until the old bonds would have matured. However, it would be a. bright spot on Canada's financial horizon ii the new loan goes over bil and a happy mature of the budget speech.

The resolution on the order paper for the establishment of the Tariff Advisory Board will probably be de- bated during the coming week in Parliament and bring out a. state- ment from Premier R. B. Bennett as to the slsc and powers of the board. There are many rumors that it will have authority to deal with combines and other trade questions as wail as studying tariff problem.

(Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Ont., May iL-No trade agreement with Cube. has been made by the Dominion Government, but the Cuban Government is taking into consideration proposals made on be- half of Canada by}. representative sent to Cuba, I-ion. John A. MacDon- ald, Minister without portfolio, in- formed the. House of commons today. Mr. MacDonald was the represen- tative who went to Cuba on behalf of the Government. Under the pre- sent economic conditions. he said, Cuba could not enter into an agree- ment owing to the unsatisfactory condition of the market for sugar, Cuba's principal agriculturaiyproduct. That country was seeking to encour- age more diversified agriculture by l. protective tariff. The question was placed on the order paper by A. E. Maci-esn, (Liberal. Prince) and ask- ed if any effort had been made to arrange a trade agreement in view of the fact that Cuba was reported to be increasing the duty on pota- toes and other products imported from Canada.
