Similar resolutions were adopted in the House of Com- mons. In a panegyrlc which applauded the virtues of the late sovereign Senator Dandurand recalled the appraisal of King George's life by Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, the day after the sovereign died. "King George, it is true, inherited his position on the Throne; but he won his own way to the hearts of his people" the British Premier had said, He brought the dispo- sition that is lovely 1n private life into the service and conduct of the commonwealth, and not only in virtue of his office, but in virtue of his person was the first gentle- man of the land." Recalls Christmas Message Senator Dandurand recalled the last Christmas message of King George wherein he had emphasized his desire for peace and had re- joiced “that our own family of peoples is at peace within itself and united in one desire to be at peace with all other nations." ~ The Senator had been received by the late King George last De- ccmber and His Majesty had re- called the visit he made to Quebec at the tercentenary of theifound- ing of tho city. "The King seemed to have aged to a. degree," said Senator Dandur- and. "Ho said he had not fully rc- covered his strength after his long illness and a severe operation; that he was getting old, older than all his ministers. He spoke of the try- ing time of the Great War and expressed the hope he would not live to see another war. He spoke of Canada, of his admiration for our vigorous and law-abiding 00D“- latlon, and of the enthusiasm of the Prince of Wales for Canada and Canadian life.” Tribute to Queen gel-mm,- r fill-and paid tribute to Queen Mnry "whose radiant per- sonality was felt fur-beyond the family circle." “The hour has struck," said Sen- aim’ Dundurand, "when we must repeat: ‘The King is dead-long live the .

Recently an invemigation, followed by conviction and fines for certain distributors, dealt with these complaints. It is considered possible the further inquiry will be either by Royal Commission or par- llamentary committee. ' Justice Turgeon of the Saskat- chewan appeal court already has beem appointed with broad ‘temis of reference to investigate the tex- tile industry, particularly conditions leading to the temporary closing down of a. rayon plant in Sher- brooke, Que. He will begin hearings soon. Penal Investigation Minister of Justice Lapolnte has been endeavoring for some weeks to complete selection of what will be either a. three 0r five mem- ber oommision to carry out an in- vestigation of Canada's penal sys- tem. It will be a work of several months involving o. great deal of travel, and difficulty has been ex- perlenoed in obtaining services of persons qualified to not. It is also expected a parliamen- tary committee will be appointed to investigate circumstances under which more than 100 employees of the House of Commons were given notice o.‘ dismissal before parlia- ment met, only to have the notices later rescinded. . This move was blamed upon Speaker Ccsgnain before he took office, and was the subject of an attack against him by opposition leader Bennett on yesterday's mo- tion for his election to the chair. The Conservative leader gave no- tice he would mo-c for an inquiry later in the session. Progress has already been nlade in the selection of what will prob- ably be a permanent commission of seven members appointed to deal wdth unemployment, find work for the idle and supervise administra- tion of relief. The ocmmission will not be appointed until the neces- snry legislation and appropriations have been approved by parliament. Other appointments to adminis- trative bodies may arise from the government's proposals with respect to tho Canadian National Railways. What move is intended was not made clear but the Speech forecut changes that would "afford a, great- er measure of governmental auth- orirty and responsibility to parlia- meat." Men who now are pnlvate mem- bars of the House of Common-s will be appointed to the parliamentary semctaryships for which legislation has been promised. They will re- tain their seats and be in a po- sitlon to speak for their respective departments in the House, but will not attend sessions or.‘ cabinet coun- cil. Additional oomnensatioxa will be movlded. Central Bank Changes proposed in the owner- ship of the Bank of Canada will not necessarily involve any change agement or personnel. sev- eral courses have been suggested for achieving the government's ob- jective with respect to tbQ Central Bank.

No further contact or -- cussion was effected or invited. The City officials, although resting on the as- surances given, were beginning to worry over the accumulated liabil- ity, especlally on the approach of the annual meeting signalling the practical conclusion of the term of office of this Council.

(By Paul Sanders Associated Prom Foreign Stuff) IBUENOS AIRJEIS, Feb. ‘l-Uhi- formed police measures by a half dozen or more South American nations for the repression of Com- munist agitation appeared today to be likely within the near future. Foreign Ministers of these coun- tries are already exchanging view- points preparatory to joint action. it was learned. Chilean police announced today that more than 150 "Communist agitators” have been arrested in that country in connection with a railway strike. - Brazil, it is understood, ‘is taking the lead in international nego- tlations as a, result of extremist uprisings there last November. It was Brazilian allegations that act- ivities of the Third mternationale were centred in the Soviet legatlon at Montevideo that impelled Ur- uguay to break off diplomatic rc- lations with the U. S.

Although Chilean reports said the foreign ministers plan uniform legislation by Argentina, Brazil. Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Uruguay, Dr. Carlos Saavedra- Lamas, foreign minister of Argen- tina, said the conversations were limited ‘to the uniformizing of police measures.
