The third of the semi-firm! sales of Inter-Olen debates at Prince of Wales Ooilqe was held yesterday morning. The topic under discuss- ion was “Resolved that strlres are justifiable." Miss Marie Coles of rtramman You who pre- sided most efficiently introduced the debiters to a large and ap- preciative studience. The leader of the affirrrlatlve. Mr. Winston Smith. with his sup- porters, Misa Doreen Mercer and Mr. David Wood of Academic Section IIB maintained that the strike was a potent weapon used in bringing about many reforms in working conditions since the mid- dle of the nineteenth century. They claimed that without such a powerful device as the strike. labor would still be at the mercy of wealthy and unscrupulous em- ployers and be unable to get da- cent working conditions and a liv- lng wage. vlvliss Shirley Jenkins and her supporters. the Misses Therese em Gonmsn and Jean Carr of Teacher Trahlirlg section A, upheld the negative. These speakers contend- ed that all strikes. including sit- down strikes. slow-down strikes and sympathetic strikes did the work- ers more harm than good. They declared that ‘a number of demagogic labor leaders were im- perilling democracy by denying freedom of action to a large per- centage of union employees not desirous of participating in strike action. While awaiting the judges’ de- cision. the chairman called upon Professor .1. ll‘. Macmillan to offer -his comments on the debate. The lstter calm-a.tulated the speakers on their splendid performance. He pointed out that the dlebster must always endeavour first of all to in- terest his audience and then add his powers of persuasion to the cold statements of evidence. Aibove all. a. debate: must be sincere and oglcal. The judges. Messrs. Gerald Fos- ter, Waithen Gaudet. and John Nicholson gave their decision in favor of the negative. Mr. Nichol- son as spokesman complimented the speakers on their skill as de- baters. He remarked that in his day at P.W.C.. a. far larger num- ber of boys took in semi- palrt -final ddzstes than girls. But in the series so far the situation was re.- versed. PROPOSAL Continued from page 1 employees of the Ford Motor Com- pany at Windsor. Speaker Rosa Macdonald said he has issued a warrant asking the chief electoral officer to make out a writ for a by-election in Mont- real Csrtier, made vacant by the recent death of Maurice I-Iartt, a. Liberal. No date for the by-elect- ion ‘has been set.. Divorce Debate In the debate. Mr. Crofl said that enlargement of grounds for divorce would not lead. to a. flood of divorces. He wanted to put div-' orce on an honest basis. He did not wish to criticize the judges in divorce oour-ts.. Bound as they were by law and precedents. they were doing the best they could. The present law In all Provinces except Nova scotla allows divorce solely on grounds of adultery. In Nova Sootia a pie-confederation statute also provides for divorce on grounds of auelty. "I feel that our present law no longer adequately reflects the pub- llc need or the public mind," he said. “It is high time we fumigat- ed the divorce courts th country, and did way with per- jury. collusion, connlvance and fraud. In my View the present law is unreal." _ But in making any changes he would not wish to interfere with the rights of Newfoundland and Quebec, the only two Provinces without divorce courts. The divorce cases from the two Provinces now must pass Parliament. Oppose suggestion Mr. Browne said Mr. croll sure- ly was not naive enough to be- lieve that divorcee would decrease if the grounds for divorce were enlarged. If incurable mental diseases were made a grounds for divorce. he wondered when the disease would be declared incurable. There were cases of people being cured after 20 years in an institution. He wondered why Mr. Croll did not recommend formation of a committee to study ways of strengthening the family. Divorce broke up families. destroyed homes and harmed moiety. He wanted to know where the border-line would be drawn if cruelty was made a grounds for divorce. ,Mr. Browne. a former‘ New- foundland judge. said he wondered how desertion for three years would be proven. He felt that the numbe of desortiouls would be re- duced if the separation orders passed by one Province were made enforceable in all Provinces. speaking as a Roman Catholic. he said that in the Roman Catholic Church marriage was regarded as a sacrament and was surrounded by an air of sanctity. When that condition prevailed. 900010 work- ed hsrde to make their marriage Rules and regulations for the com- stick In Russia where divorce was a shnple procedure. it now was dif- ficult to obtain. The Soviet Gov- ernment reoogoiaed that it was disrupting family life and children were left on the streets. Mr. Carrollaaldhe didsethe- lieve in divorce. He had tried divorce cases and granted divorces in Nova sootia. but that did not mean that be ap- proved of divorce. He is a former Nova Boctis arpreme Court judge. It never had happened in law that a contract eou d be annulled when one»! the parties became in- sane. He felt that "hasty" marriages were one of the main causes of divorce‘. There might be fewer divorces if the Provinces would THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWN 4 _.

But a moderation of certain civ- ilian privileges poaseued by U.

Prosposals for settlunent of the question of civilian privileges. one of the bigger international issues to arise from Canada's absorption of Newfoundland last year, are built placed before the two Gov- ernments shortly. They are the recommendations of the permanent U. 8.-Canadcian Joint Defence Board which began some months ago to consider the question of the bases. built by the Amerfuns early in the Second World War an agreement with the United Kingdom Gov- ea-nmerlt.

April 5—(AP)—The Marshall Mars. $7.900.000 Worth 01 flying boat, was destroyed today by explosion and fire a mile Off shore. Its seven crew members barely escaped. The 80-ton flying boat had tone up for a test flight. It had de- veloped engine trouble yesterday. Lt.-Cmdr. Glenn E. Simmons. the pilot. said the no. 3 engine caught fire shortly after takeoff. when he had gained 1.000 feet. Simmonl turned the Mars back towards Keehi Lagoon. the seaplane land- lng on the Honolulu Airport. Watchers at the airport saw the giant craft. its engine blazing. land on the lagoon. Once down. Simmons and the other six jumped clear in two life rafts. A crash boat picked up the EEVEII. Minutes after the crew quit the flying boat. the 6.000 gallons of high-octane gasoline in the fuel tanks exploded. A Hawaiian Sea Frontier spokesman said the men, "owed their lives to Simmonl quick and level-headed abandon- shlp orders." The Marshall Mars was one of four Martin flying boats 'b0|iKi'it by the United States Navy for A total of 030000.000 and placed in the California-to-Hawaii service in 1947. It was powered by four 2.- 400-horsepower engines. N. S. To Ease Gaso|ine_iaws By GEOBBE FORMED HALIFAX. April 5 - (GP) - Flxing of retail gasoline prices by the Nova Scotia Public ‘Utilities Board is to be ended under a. bill introduced in the Legislature to- da . The bill leaves the board with authority to control the retail- mark-up -— the spread between wholesale and retail prices -— of gasoline. . The bill was introduced by Pre- mier Macdonald. It amends legis- lation passed in 1934 whose reten- tion. the Premier said, might dis- courage oil companies from ear- panding facilities in the Province. The amendments remove legis- lation requiring persons to prove a new service station would'be a. “public convenience or necessity" before receiving a licence." It also removes restrictions on agreements between refineries and service station operators under which operators would be forced to sell only one brand of gasoline or encouraged by loans of cash and equipment to sell only one brand Under the amendments. the Pub- lic Utilities Board could still con- trol mark-up. hours of sale. and standards and licence conditions for service stations. The legislation was introduced before the House adjourned one week for Easter. Before adjourn- ment. the Legislature also gave sp- proval in principle to legislation making the dates of the Provin- cial fiscal year correspond to the Federal fiscal year. ST. JOHN'S. Nfld..
