New Government De- clares Itself Popu- iar Front Adminis- tration.

PARIS, Jan. 21- (CP Haws)- Prlimier Camille Chautemps’ new cabinet, after meeting President Albert Lebrun, tonight declared itsl-Il’ s Popular Front administra- tion which will "faithfully how" to the main lines oi’ policy laid down by the two previous left coalition regimes.

Tile cabinet, made up almost exclusively of‘ members or chnu. temps’ own Radical-Socialist Par- ' ty, has been promised Centrist as well as Socialist support. It will make its initial appearance before the Chlllltfl o! Deputies tomor- row.

Meeting in a body for the first time since Tuesday night, when they were handed their portfolios, the ministers issued a statement containing five salient points:

1. The government will leave untouched those social reforms 1c-

gislated during tllc last 19 nlontlls. and will pursue, insofar as cir- cumstances permit, the social pro- gram mapped out by the Popular Front. "

2. Next Tuesday the government will issue a plan for a code de- iiflied to make pence between

"capital and labor.

3. The government is, like its predecessor. onmsed to all forms of monetary control and intends to pursue t-hc financial recovery ef- forts which Georges Bonnet began as finance minister in the last cabinet.

4. foreign policy will remain un- changed.

fi. The government attaches par- ticular importance to reinforce- ment of national defence through coordination of the three armed branches under Vice-Premier Ed- ouard Dalucliefs guidance.

Commissioner Chairman Rowell Surprised At Bennett Reform Bill ‘

Being Declared Ultra Vires.

Staff Writer)

‘OTTAWA, Jan. 20-1-1011. N. w. Rowell, chairman of the Royal Commission on D0minlon-Provln- clal relations, today described as "most amazing decision" the Privy Council judgment of last January which ruled out the Bennett re- form bill on wages and hours.

That bill, to implement an in- tcrnatlonal labor convcntmn to which Canada was a. party, was held by the Privy Council to be ultra vires of the Dominion Gav- crnment since it concerned mat- ters not within the jurisdiction’ of the Dominion.

This limitation of section 132 of the British North America Act, which covers treaty-making pow- ers, only to matters normrrly within the jurisdiction of the Do- minion, had thrown the whole sli- uatlon into confusion, Prof. Nor- man MacKcnzfe contended. He ap- peared before the comnlfssion for the League of Nations society in Canada. '

"One result of the decision is this," commented Mr. Rowell. "As

English By-Elections Liven Political Scene

‘By PAT USSBER Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, Jan. 20—(CP)-Four approaching by-electlons served to liven the domestic political scene in Great Britain as parliament prepares to resume its session Fer.

Two of the vacant seats, Furn- worth and Pontypridd, were held by Labor. The member for each died. Death of former Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald op- ened one of the three Scottish universities seats. Elevation to the peerage of Sir John Ganzoni member for Ipswich, caused the fourth vacancy.

Keen interest attaches to the Ipswich contest. regarded in poll- tlcal quarters as a “test" by-eiec- tion. Sir John has held the seat for the Conservatives since 1924. l-fis majority in 1935 was 7.250.
