Says Premier Ring—Halm in
Oomnuttaa on U. B. Trude
(By J. A. Hume, Special Correspon-
dent of The Signal)
Ottaway March 16. -With Europe
apparently trembling on the brink of
war this past week, Parliamentary
discussion here has shown a striking
contrast. On the one hand, incidental
ticklish questions on Canada's pos-
sible commitments on behalf of Empire
defence and as to the propriety of the
conduct of the German consul -general
at Montreal in informing German na-
tionals in Canada they must return
to the colors at home indicated some
sensitiveness to events across the pond.
On the other hand, the Commons spent
most of the week on detailed commit-
tee consideration of the United States
trade agreement, approved in principle
Tuesday by 175 to 39 votes, dealing
with the varying duties on asparagus,
onions, pork, oranges, and 101 other
Items covered by the agreement.
Premier King told J. S. Woodsworth,
C.C.F. leader, that Canada has made
no commitments touching Empire de-
fence; that Canada, not being a signa-
tory to the Locarno pact, baa no obllp-
tions thereunder; that Canada has ful-
filled her obligations -under the League
of Nations covenant as already indi-
cated to the House and that further
action will be reported as events de-
velop; and, lastly, .that any active
military action will be taken by Can-
ada only after approval by Parliament
of a recommendation by the Govern-
ment._ Mr. Bennett remarked that
Canada le bon y any m
Gen" of the -Lague.
dividually she might not approve of
such action.
The Prime Minister made it plain
that, while the action of the German
consul -general at Montreal was in line
with ordinary international usage
regards German nationals, every pro-
tection will be accorded Germans
are naturalized Canadians, and who
thus are in no way subject to recall
to Germany at this anxious time.

bens present voted with the Govern-
ment. Word has gone out that the
Government followers must be more
"on the job" for House divtstonp.
Mr. King told Mr. Bennett that
word had been received, but no details,
of "a new approach" by the United
States Government regarding approval
of the St. Lawrence deep waterway
agreement, negotiated in 1932. But
nothing much is likely to come of it,
reliable sources indicate here.
Pensions for the Blind
On motion of Dr. T. F. Donnelly,
Liberal, Wood MouotaiLt_Sada., the
House debated a resolution favoring
extension of the provisions of the Old
Age Pensions Act to blind persons over
forty years of age. It was estimated
it would cost the Dominion Govern-
ment around $600,000 annually. Mr.
Dunning, Finance Minister, indicated
sympathy on behalf of the Government,
but made it plain that *efficient funds
could not be found this year, at any
rate.
A resolution by Denton Massey,
Conservative, Toronto, on behalf of
the youth of the country, was accepted
by the Government when Hon. Nor- later than seven days after the closing
man Rogers, Labor Minister, stated date.

Goverament $32,000 for the on -to -
Ottawa trek of unemployed which
started at Vancouver but was stopped
at Regina last year. Tariff Board
hearings since 1931 have totalled nine-
ty-three, of which thirteen were the
result of applications by the United
Kingdom Government on behalf of
manufacturers there In dealing with
the Ottawa Imperial agreements of
1932.
A Terrible Mistake
An authentic story was heard the
other day of first copies of the annual
report of the External Affairs Depart-
ment being frantically recalled be-
cause they listed Canada's minister to
Japan as "the Hon. Herbert Marler,"

-I fee that a term would be better
for you, but I am ready to give you
one more chance, and it will be the
last chance," said Magistrate J. A.
Makins to Evelyn Wightman, nineteen,
on Thursday last. The girl was
charged with breaking parole. A fur-
ther charge was dropped, but the girl
was placed on probation for two years
on the first charge. -
