Sellar Bowman. Canadian Press Correspondent) SIMLA. June 26—Interest in India is once more concentrated upon the frontier. For months past the Govern- ment has been justified in its spasmodic announcements of "all quiet in most of thrtrlba’. areas with the exception of isolated in- cidcnts of no particular signifi- canes." There has, however, been one exceptfon—the wild country of Waziristan. haPPY hunting ground of hostile tribal gangs. “All quiet" there is a. comparative term for has not been peaceful for years. and reports from Pes- hawar, Bannu and other frontier intelligence centres in recent weeks have recorded a series of outrages. A report from Peshawar last week said British officials had dis- covered g plot among Waziristan fighters, led by Saiyd Muhammad Sadi, fanatical Mohammedan priest, to overthrow the reigning dynasty in Afghanistan. As the border be- tween Indla and Afghanistan was closed, the Government of India issued s statement saying it was "watchin the situation most care- fully an taking such steps as are possible to prevent an influx of fWaztristan tribes into Afghan ter- r .

It was hard to believe, as inning after inning rolled by that the team which piled up a total of 26 errors in their two previous games were holding their own and even defeating the mighty Pioneers. Each team played practically er- roriess bail. there being but two bobbles on each side in eight in- nings. The rival hurlers Wilson and Daley, harrassed and cheered by the boisterous fans, and dlsplrlted by close decisions which always seemed to go against them, bore down continuously, each getting out of many tight squeaks. The Vitamannas had the tying run on second in the last canto with one down but Wilson struck out Daley after a long three to two count brought on by numerous fouls and then forced C. Hogan to pop up to Lidstone. The losers took a three-run lead with four hits and a walk in the first frame. They added one in the sixth to make the score 4-2 but the break came in the big seventh. 010w singled and came across the plate stand- ing up, followed by Crossman who had boomed out a homer to right. Larkins scampered in with the winning run in the 8th from sec- ond base on a single by Sehunnan. Everyone thought the last Pion- eer-Vitamanna contest was a thril- ler but last night's game had it beat about l5 ways. A great game may be expected on Wednesday when :he Red Sox meet the re- organized Kcnsington squad who are reported to be bolstered by several Summerside veterans.

June 27-Unanimous approval of the provinces is essen- tial to any change in the basis of Confederation. in the view of the governments of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. In thice vigorous cases for limi- tation and even decentralization of the powers of the Dominion 2o"- ernmenlt. those provinces made their positions amply clear before the Royal Commission on Domin- ion-Provincia-l Relations in its three provincial hearings. All three adhered to the “com- pact theory" of Confederation, claiming it had been brought about by agreement of the provinces which were themselves autonomous states at the time—making neces- sary thc agreement of all "con- tracting" parties to any change in that “compact? While Ontario talked bluntly of provincial rights and the “threat" of dictatorship from centralization —-to which view Quebec subscribed -Quebec resentfully denied the right of the Dominion through the commission to "investigate" provin- cial finances. New Brunswick in- sLtcd the provinces had been be- means." he advised. The Ontario Premier devoted much attention to submissions of Saskatchewan and Manitoba gov- ernments. hinting they had had advance information of the com-- missions appointment which he said he only learned ‘of through the l newspapers. Hon. Stuart Garson,‘ Manitoba treasurer, next dyy re-, called the prime minister had an- nounced in the House of Commons such a commission would be ap- pointed six months before its mem- oers were actually named. Blames Prairies Mr. Hepburn aroused controver- sv by blaming the parties for their own and others‘ misfortunes by over-production of wheat and crcp goscialization. The fact one-third of western farmers were born out- side Canada. the British Empire or the United States was also ad- vaneed as a relevant factor. l-Ic produced statistix to dls-, prove suggestions of "eastern in-I dustriai exploitation.“ He would "almost forzive" appointment of the commission by order-in-council if 85 a result of its work the eco- nomic relations of the nine prov- inces could be “measurably deter- mined“. he said. The Ontario state- ment had bcen ploparcd with the aid of WJ-l. Moore. member of par- liament for Ontario County and Prof. K. Taylor of McMaster University. The Quebec government simply refused to recognize the commis- sion's “authority" to look into pro- vincial finances. The provinces were “sovereign in their own field fore Confederation. and still were, independent. sovereign n a tio ns which had created the Dominion merely as an agency for carrying out certain services common to all. without altering the status of the provinces. . Quebec and Ontario governments both sharply attacked the manner of the appointment of this fact- finding commission, contending it should have been appointed by par- liament instead of by cablnet—and then they submitted the subject matter was too vital to assign to a commission. but should have been dealt with directly by Dominion- provincial conference. Conference Planned It was pointed out by the com- mission chairman that the plan of procedure as originally announced by Prime Minister Mackenzie King provided for such n conference t0 discuss the situation. on the basis of the commission's report.

Ontario's Premier Mitchell Hep- burn presented his government's views in a brusque, biting state- ment while Premler Maurice Du- niessis engaged Emery Beaulieu, a Montreal lawyer, to read the Que- bec government's declaration of non-cooperation to the commission. New Brunswick. taking the most extreme constitutional position. had mild. good-homered W. P. Jones outline its views. Premier Hepburn vividly pictured the necemity of decentralizing gov- ernment functions in Canada if freedc-m was to prevail. If more power. such as control of the new services, were placed in the central government which "has alreadyde- parted from the well-thumbed practices of parliamentary institu- tions.“ one had only to look across the Atlantic to see the destiny of the Canadian people, he claimed. While s somewhat equalized standard of living and social ser- vices had been held the right of Canadian citizenship by several provinces, Premier Hepburn felt such equality impossible. Condit- ions varied so widely it was better for the provinces to administer soc l services themselves-financed by broader provincial taxing pow- ers. including prior right to income taxation, he submitted. “The pro- vinces sre fiscal entities; and gov- .Ull. h! bibl- emments, like individuals, must learn in IIIIJIIIO within their action and in no way subject to federal control,” in its opinion. To recognize the commissions juris- diction wouid be acknowledgement that the federal government was supreme over the provincial gov- ernments, whereas they were in fact “self-governing political entit- That province saw in the corn- missfonb report a possible instru- ment to be used by the Dominion government for further centraliz- ation of powers. “The centralization which seems to be desired by those who are hos- tile to provincial rights is a nat- ional and social evil", declared the Quebec statement. "Centraiization of powers is principally found in the so-called totalitarian states." The statement thanked Premier Hepburn in several instances for declarations he had made which had the full support of the Quebec government and proclaimed Que- bec's readines to co-operatc in"ail measures of general interest not in- compatible with provincial rights." New Brunswick felt much of the difficulty over new social services could be overcome if they were fin- anced and administered in the same way as old age and blind pensions. Without constitutional change. the provinces there had agreed to a proposition. the Dom- inion contributing without en- croaching on provincial rights while assured its money was spent as authorized. Urges Higher Grants In any case. New Brunswick doubted that Dominion administra- tion of services would be more ef- ficient than provincial from study- ing Dominion records. It advocated generally increased allowances to the provinces. on a basis of fiscal need. with special grants-in-aid for social services nrovinclally administered. emphasized New Brunswick was not proposing a redistribution of the national wealth and was not appearing as a bankrupt. but it contended its citizens were entitled to the same social services as Can- sdlans in other parts of the coun- try. At present they lacked many of the services enjoyed elsewhere, education. for instance. being so badly of! the province had the highest illiteracy rate in the Dom- inion.
