To Place Large Pane Orders _ Washington — Faced with the pos­ sibility, that '‘complete war” may be unleashed this spring, a British- French purchasing mission took steps to place rush orders for perhaps $1,- 000,000,000 worth of American-made warplanes.

Uphold Palestine Laws London — Prime Minister Cham­ berlain’s Government defeated the first motion of censure it has faced in the House of Commons since the war with Germany began a little more than six months ago.

Ev­ ery time the Liberals form the Gov­ ernment there is progress and pros­ perity, the speaker declared. Under Conservatives, the speaker said, there was retrovision, gloom, darkness, fail­ ure but under Liberals expansion of trade. You should not turn this busi­ ness over to amateurs at this present time, Mr. Deachman said, better to leave it with King and his experienc- j ed men. Mr.- Cardiff has said the price of hogs is not satisfactory to farmers but the • speaker said in 1932 they were $4.66 per hundred and $5.54 ini 1933 but the average for 1939 was $8.94. Last year there were 35,688,600 hogs in the Dominion but this year 47,696,- 000, so the farmers fegl there is a mar­ ket under Liberal government. AbbuU 300,000 head of cattle were shipped to the United States last year,’ the speaker said. The cattle go under treaty on quota basis and this can be applied to hogs coming into Canada.* This is done by mutual agreement when it is necessary. Mr. Cardiff has said the man who represented you has no property in Huron and pays no taxes here. But the speaker said, Mr. Cardiff’s paying of taxes does not give him the right to stand in the House of Commons and vote against your cattle going to the United States. Mr. Cardiff would have voted twice in the last four years against reciprocity if he had been there. The Liberal party has given free access to raw materials, the speaker said, The importation of hogs from the United States is very rare. Th‘e Government cancelled the draw-back and adopted a quota to stop this im­ portation doing Canadian farmers any harm. In regard to agricultural im­ plement, he asked Mr. Cardiff if he would make the* tariff the same* as it was in 1932-33! Mr. Cardiff will not say he will" oppose reciprocity with the United States, the speaker said. .The Conservatives, he charged, were going to carry on an election campaign in the House of Commons Hold-Up Man Returns Money Toronto — A confidence-stricken hold-up man returned $14 he had ta­ ken from Louis Tsararoff in a hold­ up at the latter’s restaurant.

In a 15-minutes address over a national network of the Canadian Broadcast­ ing Corportion, the prime minister Said Conservative Leader Manion and his associates had “misrepresented” facts which Were Well known eo Dr. Manion and were a matter of public record. Rogers Wired Hepburn Ottawa — Defence Minister Rogers Said in a telegram to Premier Hep- the people or defeated. The people are the source of stren­ gth of democracy and we go to them to let them decide who will carry on, the speaker declared. We will give you a victory grander and bigger than before, be said. L. E. Cardiff We are in the midst of a terrible war and. we are also in the midst of a needless election, Mrr Cardiff said in opening his address. We are fighting a war against appression — a war for the principles of freedom and democ­ racy and there should .be no flinching in the effort put forth to bring that war to a successful conclusion. Win­ ning the war is one defeinite objective of you and I, the speaker said. Mr. Cardiff said he had received word from Dr. Manion to stop cam­ paigning after war broke out. He al­ so said that Mr. Deachman did not do anything for the Goderich Airport until his hand was forced. He asked why only 11,000 cattle shipped to the United States this year so far while list year there were 35,000. I believe, he said, our people who are fair-minded but they will find it hard to understand why Mr. King should call Parliament, at a consider­ able expense, and a considerable in­ convenience to many, and then promptly dissolve it. The fact is, that the people of this country have ,been denied the right to investigate fully the war record .of the government. Mr. King, he stated, had never called into consultation one leader of the Op­ position. He must now take the full responsibility for the conditions as they exist, the speaker declared. Can Mr. Deachman or any other Liberal defend the King government’s record of the last four years, he ask­ ed? The Government granted $188,- 000,000 for defences but when war broke out we were hopelessly equip­ ped, with not sufficient shoes, cloth­ ing or equipment for our soldiers. He said, a few coast guns had been installed and a gun shed built in Wingham that was not necessary. The first year of the war will cost the Can­ adian people 500 millions of dollars, the speaker said, and he expressed the opinion that no one party or group of I men should have control of such great expenditures. He challenged the Government on the Bren Gun con­ tract. He said the Canadian army are very short of all equipment. He said there was not a 25-lb. howitzer gun in Canada. Mr. King, he said, is asking for a vote in the,dark, he has shut off all information, locked away the files and forced an election at a time ‘when we should have national Unity and nation­ al government. Why did not Mr. King present his war effort to Parlia­ ment, hd asked. Mr, Cardiff claimed the Canadian dollar had shrung to 80c and he could not see atty pros­ perity in these figtires. He stated he was opposed to the St. Lawrence Waterway Plan which was part of the King government plan.
