Some may think we have forgetful, That the wound ls surely healed But they little‘ know the sorrow That lies within our hearts con- sealed. lnertcd by Father, Mother-mud ~ Sister. MacLean " ' ‘onnaursusu w ‘ Party (c. r. By oust-alum Special woe) unemployment in Canada, James S. Woodsworth. leader of the Co-oper- ative commonwealth Federation today. "Can we expect these people to remain loyal and law-abiding," ask- ed the slender, grey-haired third party leader as he pictured distress among the unemployed. the lost hopes and shattered ambitions. Pres- ent-day conditions could not con- tinue another two er three years. he warned the government, insisting every man and woman among the jobless had a claim. "for adequate maintenance" in lieu of work. Three l-lour Discussion For nearly three hours the House discussed the motion of Hon. Ian MacKenzie (Lib. Vancouver Centre) criticising the government for not presenting to Parliament a policy to and distress conditions. The C.C.F. leader announced he would support it and the vote may come later to- night. Hon. Raymond Morand (Cons. Essex East) assailed the Liberals for attempting to make political capital out of unemployment. The Liberals, “found more solace in the diflicul- ties of the government than in their desire to help." The Essex Conservative, who held oflice a few months fn the 1926 Meighen Government, called upon the Opposition to co-operate with the Government in lcrmulating policies. So far, Liberals had done nothing but criticise and forget their past promises. Laid Groundwork The Government, said Dr. Mor- and, had laid the gl-oundwonlc to remedy distress conditions and would continue until the job was finished. A front-bench Liberal, Hon. Fer- nand Rinfret, former state secretary, said his party would co-operate with the government but could not as long a; no policy was presented. He said tile administration was like a doctor who promised to cure a. pati- that long. It was time the people were made aware of the true state of unem- ployment, said Ross W. Gray (Lib. Lambton West). The government hoped for something from the eight- hour day and the 48-hour week. Yet in the city of Sarnia where ‘ ment was fairly steady and large plants had the eight-hour day in operation the number of y- ed was steadily increasing. It was United Farmers of Manitoba." re- ' higher in 1934 than in 1935. Why, asked Col. H. A. Muilens (Cons. Marquette) did the United Farmers of Manitoba ask the aboli- tioncf relief camps so they could secure-shear labor? - "I cannot accept any responsibil- ity for resolutions passed by the tortecl Mr. Woodsworth. There were some lazy, shiftless misfits among the unemployed, con- tinued the C. C. F. leader, "but the great majority of the unemployed are there because there are no jobs available." Mr. Morand said Mr. MacKenzieu proposals were interesting particu- larly as they were made in the ab- ‘sence of and without a word of sup- port from Liberal Leader Macks Toronto Gunmen Arrested (C.

Liberal Attitude The Liberal platform of 1910 con- tained clsusea pledging unemploy- ment insurance, the eight-hour day and other advanced social measures. Since 1919 the Liberals had been nine years in office and boasted cf the prosperity of those years and of the co-operation it enjoyed from the provinces, and yet nothing had been done to give effect to theplatform. Mr. Rlufret, a former mayor of Montreal. said the Federal Govern- ment cut down its relief payments to Quebec froln‘$1.000.000 to $400,- 000 a month. Thlsforced the pro- vince and municipalities to carry the extra‘ load but when Premier L. A. Taschcreau offered to split the costs 50-50 with Ottawa it was turn- ed down. ' “The policy of public works of this government in my city (Montreal) has been a. policy of excavations," said Mr. Rlnfret. A huge excava- tion had been made for the Canad- ian National Railways terminal and work stopped. It would be just as reasonable to blame Mr. Rinfret as a former mayor for the unemployment in that oity as to blame the Federal Gov- ernment, said T. L. Church (Cons. Toronto East). He strongly depre- cated considerin! the Problem from a party angle when so much dis- tress and suffering was involved. Yet the Liberal party in making the present move showed nothing but party zeal. Economic Liberalism with its cam- paigns for "free trade and semi- free trade," said Mr. Church, must bear alarge share of responsibility for present conditions. Robert MacKcnzie (Lib. Assin- iboia) blamed the government's fis- cal policies for distress. While un- employment ‘ d trade fell off and the country never would recover ‘its feet until people were put to work. Ever since tho-high tariffs were erected in 1930, unemployment had been gaining and trade fallins. said Mr- Msfltisnm- RUM RUNNING (Continued from Page 1) eviderucevagainstlvlaritime accused when they were not present, James Crankshaw, special Crown prosecu- tor. declared the Crown's intention was merely to establish proof of fllm-flmnmg activities of the boat “Svwatkafl.

As far as the first objection was concerned, Mr. Edwards was con- vinced the courts were read-Y "it all times to give reasonable and proper recognition to- changes which take place in the develop- ment of the country. in the devel- opment of its economic and lla- tlonal problems. _ . “If the purpose be to enable this Parliament to deal with inat- ters which perhaps in former days were regarded as purely provincial, but which have by reason of re- cent experiences becolne nation in scope," said the deputy, "I would anticipate a very careful consideration on the port of the courts to that question, and I would. expect to be _ the view that anything which can be shown to be national, in scope will be hled. to belong to this Par- llament." Ocurtto Decide t.- 5 If the legislation was questioned in the courts and it could be de- monstrated to the satisfaction of the court that it was in essence national in scope, there would be no necessity to amend the consti- tution. On the other hand, if the court gave a judgment inconsist- ent with the body of public opinion in Canada on the subject, Par- liament was still free to seek an amendment of the IB- N. A. Act. “Is it not true that in the de- cision as to whether or not a mat- ter is of‘ national scope you would the whole body of public opinion existing at the time," asked James S. Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg North Centre). “and to that extent it would tend to be political in character?" "Something after the gold de- cision the other day," saidiD. J. Cowan (Cons. Port Arthur). “That was on the sordid ground of ex- pediency in my opinion." "Possibly you might say that in interpreting the B. N. A. Act to- day they will interpret it in the light of the decisions as they exist today." said Mr. Edwards. Parliament-would have to deter- mine the truo nature of the sub- ject first. I-lis own view would be that r ' ‘ should enact the legislation and leave it to work it- self out. The question of whether the legislation would be referred to the courts before being put into operation was a matter of policy. - On the other objection, that amendments to the B. N. A. Act ,_ ‘ as in the past-through tlurBritish Parliament- was in- consistent with Canada's sov- erehnty. Mr. Edwards disagreed If the legislation was passed at Westminster on request of the Do- minion- authorities, then it was ’ because of the sovereign status of the Canadian people. "It is posed," he sold, "because of recomltiorl of our status, and not in spite of it" _ It was at Canada's own request that o limitation on this country's power to amend its own constitu even was placed in the Statute of eaminster.
