IPrime Minister Ex- lains Provinces

, ould Not Surren- der Rights to Na- tional Commission.

(O. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

OTTAWA, Jan. M-Libcral leader Mackenzie King told the House of Commons tonight if his Iuggestlon of a. national commission to handle relief, Job-finding campaisns and housing, had been accepted in 1930, it would not be necessary today to gather information in housing. He was speaking to a motion, moved by T, l... Church (Cons, Toronto East) in favor of a national housing scheme.

The government, continued lifr. King, had folmwed no definite pol- icy regarding unemployment relief which his party considered was the llrimary need of the country. The Liberals considered there could be only one cure-to find Jobs for those out of work. If a national com- mission had been appointed four or five years ago, the need of building homes would have been apparent and the work started.

On his trip to Europe last sum- mer. Mr. King said he was impres- sed with the housing schemes of Italy and the United Kingdom. wool: bneing provided for thousands of

en. l

The proper way of handling relief and employment works was through a national commission, Mr. King de- clared. Only through this form of centralized control could there be co-operation and supervision.

"I hope." said the Liberal leader, "the Prime Minister will assure the House the government is whole hesrtedly behind this motion. I can assure him every membc on this side is behind it but wishes it had been started five years ago.

Premier R. B. Bennett said hous- lni! was no new problem for Canada because a general scheme, under

The 1020 mmission, headed by Si: An w Rae Duncan, clearly contemplated upward revision of

subsidies to Maritime - ccmccntended m. MacDonald. The Duncan Commission report had re- commended annual 8876.000 additional to the subsidy in exect of 0668.048 as In ‘dntorim minimum payment." he emphasised. A review of the financial arrange- ments between the l‘ ’ and all provinces since Confederation. on the basis on which they were made originally and substantially increased, would indicate the fin-an- cial necessity of the provinces had been, in most cases, the governing factor, Mr. MacDonald continued. His e, he argued, was en- titled to compensation by virtue of the fact certain provinces had re- ceived accessions to their territory since they became members cf Con- federation, while the Nova Bcctia area remained the as in 1001. Mr. Macdcnald argue the func- tions of edminibtration in‘ Nova Scotia were accessory, that they were economically carried out, and that Nova Bcctia had exhausted its sources of authorised revenue.

New Brunswick broke into the limelight almost the moment the hearing was opened. The incident developed when C. G.

Reserves De- cision In Gypsum Q u e e n Case

(GP. By Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA. Jan. 24—lvir. Justice Angers in Exchequer Cauft today ruerved decision in the ‘Gypsum Queen" reparationsccse. He ruled that Captain Mzeman Hat- field, skipper of the ill-starred ves- sel, now in Manchester, N. H, had been allowed sufficient time to present his defence. W. G. Pugsly, ‘ for Hatfield, had previously informed the court that rt state- ment from the Captain was expect- ed momentarily. It did not, how- ever, arrive in time to be included so evidence.

The action arose out of the.pay- moot to Hatfield of $71,000 repar- ations money on representations that his schooner was torpcdoed off the coast of Ireland during the war. Senator Hence J. Iogan acted as counsel for Hatfield, and he is now a defendant with the captain in the government's action to recover the amount. The claim of the gov- eminent is that the ship was not nut by a torpedo, butthat it went lowninastornusndthattheclaim of Kfield was fraudulent.

The superintendent told him, he said, that he could not put him to work until the 15th of the month. m the meanwhile, he said. he was trying to get a job at Radio City, New York. On March l5 he went back to the Majestic Apartments and tried again for a 10b. This time he was successful and worked up until April 2. On the fourth he quit the job.
