Beliable reports said the 42- Ifilf-illd Senator was losing strength and a second blood trans-

day. No official bulletin was forth- coming, however, after the one at 8:40am. in which it was stated: “The patients condition is satis- factory, and no important inform-

Dr. Arthur A. Vidrane, one of the group attending the Senator, refused to comment on a statement from Washington that Long's phy- sicians were "very pleased" and that he was given "better than an even chance to live."

The Senator underwent an em- ergency operation and a blood transfusion last night shortly after being taken to the operating table from the crowded corridor of the State House where he was shot by Dr. C. A. Weiss, 1r.. son-ln-law of one o! Long's political opponents. The physician. himself shot to death by state police and body- guards, was buried late‘ today af- ter funeral services at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, of which he was a member. Undertakers said there were 30 bullet holes in his body. Baton Rouge seethed with activ- ity all day.

The King of Kings was repre- sented as being absolutely opposed to Italian political or economic hedemony of any form over Eth- iopis.

The aged woman wandered into the bush Wednesday, became lost, and was not located until Sunday. When she failed to return Wed- nesday evening a widespread search followed. Because of the nature of the cllllfll-IY it was feared the wo- man might have fallen from a cliff and broken a limb.

A half-filled hall. which at the end of the meeting contained only 34 patient listeners. greeted the Liberal candidates, Messrs. Laria- bee and Sinclair, last night at Flat River, where they held their first campaign gathering.

The meeting, although intoler- ably dull. was commendably brief. Neither the ‘audience nor the speakers succeeded in generating any enthusiasm. ‘The addresses consisted mainly 0f a rehash of Mr. King's campaign utterances, and of euiogies of the Liberal leader. Criticism was the domin- flni new. as constructive sugges- tions were conspicuously absent. The flPDlause from the steadily de- creasing audience was perfunctory. scattered and forced. It was two very dejected and discouraged Lib- eral candidates who moved a vote of thanks to the chwrman, after listening to a lengthy and rambling discourse by Mr. Wilfred Forbes. The latter, armed with voluminous notes. gallantly came in as a pinch hitter on behalf of his helpless friends. but succeeded only in wearylng the audience further.

Captain C. H. Anderson was the chairman.

Discussed Policies

Mr. J. J. Larrabec, who was the first speaker, stated that for some reason the Conservative candid- ates were not present although in- vited. He remarked that there had been an editorial in the Guar- dian stating that joint meetings would not be held. He referred to the Liberal policy of Mackenzze King. and the policies of Mr. Stev- ens of the Conservative party.

Mr. Bennett had promised to blast his way into the markets of the world. Mr. Lsrrabee did not believe this was a 800d Policy. Na-

In connection with these external debts, Mr; Bennett expressed pride that Canada was known as a coun- try whose "word is as 800d as its bond." and declared it, was the in- tention to pay all obligations so long as that might be possible.

But there was the question of whether the Dominiorfs resources were great enough to meet domestic and foreign obligations, or whether the business of the country promis- ed that measure of improvement which would "help us to carry an unreduced burden of debt without breaking our backs." Creditor and debtor alike would agree that it would be "unwise, unprofitable, un- patriotic and profligate to continue to bear a burden that may finally wreck us." .

Declaring it to be now the duty of the government "to undertake a comprehensive reconstitution of the whole national debt structure," Mr. Bennett declared there was no al- ternative to debt revision. He would ask the people of Canada to con- vcrt their holdings, Dominion, rail- way. provincial and municipal, "at substantially lower rates of inter- est.” There would be no more "tax free" bond issues.

OTTAWA, Sept. 9-—(C.P.)—Withdrawal from the labor market of those who have reached the age of 60, conversion of Dominion, Provincial and municipal debts at lower inter- est rates, establishment of a loan council, and Federal aid for educating children of unemployed, were among the pol- icies announced tonight by Prime Minister Bennett.

In an address carried over a national radio hook-up, the Prime Minister reiterated his declaration of 1930 that he would end unemployment, Referring to that promise he said, “I make it as sincerely now as I did then.” Withdrawal of those over 60 from the labor market would retire 120,000 workers in the first year and would be coupled with auxil- iary methods of stimulating employment such as housing and public works, forestry and road building. .
