Malay and Chinese political leaders. who are seeking eventual independence for the British-com trolled federation. doubtless will

Cabinet

OTTAWA, Feb. 8-(CP)-The government shortly may move to fill four vacant seats in the House of Commons.

The vacancies were created in recent months through deaths and resignations and the cabinet may decide to call by-elections in some or all of them before parliament opens its 1952 session Feb. 28.

At present. the standing the 262-member House is:

Liberals 184: Progressive Con- servatives 55; CC)”. 13; Social Credit 10; Independent 4: Inde- pendnent. Liberal 2; vacant 4: total 262.

v Prime-Minister St. Laurent also

in

in the 102-seat senate, -which now has 78 Liber- als and nine Progressive Conser- vatives. Senate seats are filled by appointment by the Prime Minister.

Also in the realm of possible political moves-if only because it has not happened for many months-is a cabinet shuffle. There have been rumors that Mr. st. Laurent may make some alter- ations in his cabinet lineup.

There have been reports that Postmaster-General Rinfret will be appointed to the Quebec Su- perior Court and that P. E. Cote, parliamentary assistant to Labor Minister Gregg. elevated to the cabinet. This would create a fifth vacancy in the Commons.

Of the four Commons vacan- cies. the most pressing would be Ontario rid-ing. vacant since its Liberal member Walter Thom- son, resigned last fall to contest the Ontario provincial election in November as provincial Lib- eral leader.

The three other vacancies only were created during the last month.

On of them-the only Progres- sive Conservative sent. vacant - is the New Brunswick riding of Victoria-Carleton. it became va- cant early in January through the death of 66-year-old H. H. Hatfield, Progressive Conserva- tive who held the seat since 1940.

Another exists in the Qllebflc riding of Brome-Missisquoi. whose Liberal member. Henri A. Gos- selin. 64. died last week-end.

The fourth by-cleclion is pend- ing in Ontario's Waterloo North. its member. Louis 0. Breitiiaupt, Liberal. resigned recently to ac- cept appointment as the new lieutenant-governor of Ontario.

effect put up by the United states, Britain and France.

Malik told the committee: "The full responsibility for fu- ture events in Korea and the Far East will rest completely on the government of the United States. The United States in- tends to prolong the Korean ag- gression and expand aggression in the Far East. The third world war has in fact commenced-in Korea. lndo-China. Tunis and Morocco."

tomatoes and anarchist leaflets at the delegates. The leaflets said: "Politicians. gossips-wind-

bags-enough talking-"

2. Channing Tobias, U. S. dele- gate and Negro edueationist. heaicdly defended in the social committee American principles of freedom during a debate on the case of William N. Oatls, As- sociated Press writer imprisoned by Czechoslovakia on charges of spying.

Tobias today defended Oatis as "an honest researcher and re- porter" who was imprisoned with- out good reason.

3. The assembly rejected a Sov- iet bloc demand for the return of Iron Curtain refugees in Western Europe who do not want to go back home.
