before. In addition to the above a-

Burns' Anniversary
The Ladies' Aid of St. Andtrew's
Presbyterian Church struck a happy
'(idea when they decided tohold a eo-
ial eveningln the elage-tialofTtrtheir
church on Monday evening, on the
anniversary of this illus+brious Scot-
tish poet, Bobbie Buims. There was
a large" attendance, which . was most
gratifying, considering the slippery
'condition of the pavements and side-
walks made it almost impassable. But
-the financial success is largely clue to
the advance sale of tickets as some
.of 'the members alone sold 64 tickets.
'The first part of the program ,opened'
with the pastor, Rev. T. W. Mills, act:
•ing as chairman, and in a few grace -
remarks, called on the perform-
eers and the various numbers on the
timpani, consisting of Scottish num-

Monday, Jan. 25
Privatemembers occupied the tine.
of the House to -day in a diecuas'ion
led.. by Mr. Woodsworth •on Oaaada's
foreign pol,tey. This is a pet subject
with Mr. Wood,sworth and Mists Mac-
Phail, for. every session' we. can .ex -
pest a talk of this nature: A variety
,of .views was expressed by those who
took part in .the. debate and it was
not completed; but to the extent it
was, it brought forth some very .de-.
finite declarations. One of the,..ly
Mr. Woodsvvorth was an advocacy of
a irolicy of neutrality in the event of
an European war; another by the
Prime Minister dissenting from , the
idea .of complete detachment: He
stfessed, however, the fact that Par
)lament alone must decide' the whole
question in the light of the circum
stance's prevailing at the time of an-
other war, and he meniti•aned thefact
that -the defence policy now before
Parliament is peculiarly for the de-
fence of Canada. Mr. King declared
that the resolution in regard to war
wasaltogether too sweeping. When'
it stated that regardless of all consid-
erations or what may happen, Or
where, • or what it is about, Canada
should now declare its, neutrality—
this was a proposition the' Premier
dissented from and he believed' all.
members would do likewise.
"The voice of Parliament," he as-
serte'd, "should be the voice of the
people to decide the question of Can-
ada participating in any war," and he
added, "No commitments of any kind
have been made."
Miss MacPhail thought Canada
should have a thoroughly Canadian
policy recognizing, Canada's " geogr'a-
ph•ioal position. She believed" half of
the House were Isolationists if they
would only admit it. '
What is meant by a thoroughly
Canadian .policy we are left to guess. -
Miss MacPhail asserted that the rul-
ing- classes of Britain would sacrifice
Canada and also the British masses
tor . themselves, and added, "If this
statement is disloyal,, theI am dis-
loy;a!"n' -
Denton Massey, in a very well de-
livered speck, was the last speak-
er, and we have 'yet to hear 'the •fin-
ish of this debate.
A short debate on trap fishing oc-
cupied the rest of the day.
Tuesday, Jan. 26
A "Commission . to consider the fine
andel relations between the • Domin-
ion and the Provinces, and perhaps
other Commissions to• consider other
.phases ••of constitutional reform may
soon develop .as . a result of to -day's
illuminating discussion in Parliament.
The day,had been set apart for
estimates but Mr. Bennett seized the
opportunity to bring up the -question
Of constitutional reform. He made a
notable speech. The Prime Minister
made another; Mr. "Lapointe, Mr.
-Stevens, and Mr Dunning participat-
ed to make the day one of , outstand-
ing importance. .Mr. • Bennett ap-
proached the subject from a broad
angle, confessing disquiet over the
continuous, conflict between Federal
and Provincial ,authorities, and made
his suggestion of having a conference
representative of all parties, or groups
of all the Legislatures and the Fed-
eral Parliament. ;The idea is a good
one,' but it is not new as this has
been .suggested' many times.•
The Minister of J'ustrice and' the
Prime Minister, a,s well as the "Minis-
ter of Finance, told of their efforts to
bring all parties together. It is in-
-teresti•ng to heat Mr. Lapointe, and
the Prime Minister in a discussion of
this kind. Mr. Stevens+, since the
break with the, late government, rare-
ly supporta any idea of Mr. Bennett's;
however, today he was. all .for his
du jgestion. However, .1 think this is,
the third time I have heard his same
speech on this gries'tiosi.
Mr. Jean Francois Pouliott broke
his silence by leaping into the discus-
sion and charging Mr: Bennet with
being the cause of much of our trou-
ble. He said that when MfBennett
started out in the 1930 campaign
With promises--te--be---Santa._:Claus. to
all, he started something that no one
knows where or when the _ end will
After this `discussion, the 'House
turned its attention . to estimates cf
Public Works, and it was rea1Qy am-
using to hear the Conservative mem-
bers criticizing expenditures, n o
knowing that their own government
had made these com-nitttments. Mr.
Spence, Con,, Parkdale, started a vio-
lent outburst aga4nst an expenditure

about it, but imagine his ooneterna,

Wednesday, Jan, 27 •
A unique proposition by Mr. Heaps,
Labor member for North Winnipeg,
engaged the +attention of. the House
yesterday. He sought ate expression
of opinion that the Government should•
esk Pre+s'iderit to call a. world con-
ference with the purpose of perpetu-
ating world peace.
Mr. Resits floated' his idea alright,
not being quite through when his
time was up,; but it encountered heavy
weather an+d Pram all appearances it
was sunk as he was still speaking
when the House arose at 6' p.m.
The Prime Minister 'descended up-
on it firmly, aivd if that were , not en-
ough, Mr. Bennett added +hd+s weight.
to the same effect.as did others.
The gist of the onslaught was that
it is none of :the business of ,a small
country to suggest to the Pres(dent
of the United States what the sh'ald do
in regard to this, or any other mat-
ter. • • • :
