In, Effective Application Of Economic Sanctions

King Government Refuses, How- ever, To Recognize Any. Com- mitments Binding Canada To

Adopt Military Sanctions.-

OTTAWA, Oct. Zil-Immediute steps will be taken by the Canadian government to secure “the effective appli-

against Italy,” proposed by of the League of Nations,

Immediate Action

With respect to the export of arms and munitions to Italy, and

the issue oi loans or credits to.

Italy. action will’ be taken at once by the Dominion Government in council, the Prime Minister said. The matter of imports from Italy and prohibition of export of key products useful in military oper- ations, will remain for later action in unison with other member countries.

In a prepared statement cover- ing this action the Prime Minister said his government "has no doubt it expresses the overwhelming conviction of the people of Canada in declaring its continued and firm adherence to the fundament- al aims and ideals of the League of Nations, and its intention to make participation in me League the cornerstone of its foreign pol- icy in the genera-l field."

The government's course in ap- proving economto sanctions in the present instance was not. to be taken, the statement set forth, as necess rily establishing s. preced- ent for future action."

Five proposals were, made to the Canadian government by the co- ordinating committee of the League of Nations. They were as follows: -

1. Prohibition of export of arms and munitions to Italy.

2. Prohibition of loans and credits to Italy. _ 3. Prohibition of all imports

from Italy. ,.

4. Prohibition of export to Italy oi certain key products, useful for military operations.

5. Provision for mutual com- mercial support in contingencies arising out of the application of economic sanctions.

With reference to he's. one and two oi these proposals the govern- ment has agreed to take immedi- ate action to comply with them. With reference to the third, the rcply was that "the Canadian gov- ernment will be prepared to Join in the prohibition of imports from Itnly._ Measures are under consid- oration for effective restriction of imports and if further legislation is found necessary to make em- bargo complete, proposals will be submitted to Parliament."

Replying to the fourth proposal the governnisnt stated it would be "prcpllred to join in prohibiting tlie export to Italy of commodities listed in the proposal," and that “prohibition could be put into ef- fect at an agreed early date in November.“ The so-ealled key-pro- ducts referred to include iron, nickel, aluminum. chromium, man- ganese, tungsten, vanadium and tin either in ore. bar or scrap iron form, rubber and transport sni- mole

The fifth proposal did not re- quire any comment. the Prime Minister said, nor any definite government action at this time, being ancillary to the general pro-

OTTAWA, Oct. bib-Control of Canada's ocean ports centred in Ottawa by fiction taken by the Fed- eral Government today. Hon. C. D. Howe. Mlnisteiq of Marine, sn- nouxiced this resignations of the harbor commissions at Halifax,

Saint John. Chleoutlml, Quebec, Three Rivers, Montreal and Van- couver had been accepted and

a board of three departmental of- ficers would perform their func- tlons.

The move is along the lines of the report on Canadian harbors made by Sir Alexander Gibb in 1932. It is aimed at economic and better organization.

Mr. Howe said the unsatisfactory conditions revealed in the Gibb re. nort lied become intensified since that time and the government had taken steps to remedy them so hr as eidsting legislation permitted. Al; the next session of Parliament it is expected legislation will be intro- duced to give more complete effect to the government's prposals.

The board will be composed of E. A. I-I. l-Iewken, assistant deputy minister of marine; Ool. A. E. Du_ bee. chief ensin-vr. department of railways and canals; and B. J. Rob. erts. assistant deputy minister of finance. They will receive no addi- tional remuneration on account of their new duties. To take care of local matters the position and res- ponsibility of the port manager at each port will be enlarged.

Harbor commissions at Toronto and Hamilton are in a different class and are not affected by the change.

. Mr. Howe issued a statement de- scriblng the move as followct:

“The report of Sir Alexander Gibb was placed before the govern- ment in 1932. It emphasized the unsatisfactory organization and control of the harbor commissions in Canada and the administrative difficulties of the present system. Th1; report of three years ago pllplted out lack of central control

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, Oct. 29.-—At least three “troop ships," with a prospect of two more, will be required to convey Canadian pilgrims to Vimy Ridge next July, Ben W. Allen, Dominion organizer of the tour. said here io- day. At present more than 2,300 registrations have been made.

Officials of the Canadian Legion, under whose auspices the pilgrim- age is being made, said the national committee would soon approach Hon. Ian A. MacKenzie, Minister of National Defence, to ascertain the government's program at the un- veiling of the Canadian Memorial on Vimy Ridge. The pilgrimage is being undertaken in connection with this ceremony, and lt_£s the Legions wish that the plans of the organization be dovetailed into those of the government.

The pilgrims will sail from Mon- treal direct te l-Iavre and Boulogne, where they will commence tours of the battlefields, winding up on Vimy Ridge to be present at the unveiling. Following this portion of the tour, they will proceed to London when official receptions and entertain- ment have been arranged.
