There was nsiderable confus- ion as the bills passed second reading, just squeezing by without a formal vote. . Members on both sides of the House rose in the traditional manner of demanding the formal vote on the touchy topic of Que- bec divorces. But they discovered they had risen too late. The bills. said Speaker W. Ross Macdonald, had been passed by voice vote. The split on Quebec divorce bills is one that develops at every ses- sion of the Commons. It cuts across party lines. lt all stems from the fact that Quebec has no divorce court of its own as do all the other Prov- inces but Newfoundland. As a re- sult any Quebec divorces must go directly to the Senate and Par- liament. Many members in the Commons are opposed to divorce in any form. That's particularly true of Roman Catholic members, Others object to the fact that Parliament should have to ‘ deal with such matters. Still others have expressed be- lief that .Parllament, while it might not like the job. neverthe- less has a'duty to fulfill in carry- tish North America Act as it ap- plies to divorce. Both sides of the controversy tonight were expressed during de- bate in the Commons. W. F.

Morrison added the Government would be willing to discuss ar- rangements fora‘ later debate on the ‘Prime Minister's statement.

The conciliation committee tried to solve the dispute on the basis of a previous peace plan which urged ire-establishment of diplom- atlc relations between Greece and the three northern states and thr. creation of frontier commissions and agreements. Greece, with the support of Britain and the United States, rm- nounced her acceptance of these factors as a basis for a. settle- ment.

West- ern sources sald Albania ivreckeri the negotiations by rejecting ev- ery point suggested by the peace group. It was understood a major stumbling block was Albanlas in- sistence on the establishment of the existing Albanian-Greek bor- der as final.
