A Tsbifiii-EZ A Great Artist

_______

(By Hugh Walpole, British Novelist)

(Written For The Associated Press) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LOS ANGELES, Jan-

the civilized world would have been shaken from end to end by the news. When he was ill of pxtcu- mania, both the Kaiser" and the Queen of England sent telegrams to inquire of his progress.

Now it is not so.

He has had the luck, or the mis- fortune, to live on into a world to which he does not really belong. But that makes no difference in the final estimation of a great art- lair-for a great artist he was.

l-lc wrote prose so electrically ex- citing. so rich in its choice of words and rhythm of sentences that to read them will always be for any- one who loves literature, a mar- velous experience.

His ideas seem old-fashioned to- day and in their immediate im- perial implication they are old- fashioned. But the philosophy of his books is based on fidelity, cour- age, humor ‘and tolerance and those things will never be old- fashioned. Lastly, he did what all great writers do-crcated a world of his own, a world peopled only with children, but a jungle of won- derful colors, shining rivers and beautiful flowers and plants that will never be found anywhere ex- cept there_

Rudyard Kipling will never be forgotten because of his unique- ness, his vitality and his creative

Difference of Opinion Held By Provinces On “New Deal” Laws.

(c. r. by Guardian's Special Wlrel

OTTAWA, Jan. l'l—Differences of opinion among the Provinces on the validity of the eight "new deal" statutes passed by the Ben- nett. Government in 1934 and 1935. became apparent in the Supreme Court today. Only two, Quebec and New Brunswick, of the seven prov- inces represented before the court, will attack each of the laws.

The court today reserved Jud!- menl. on the first reference deal- ing with validity of section 408A of the Criminal Code which estab- lished fines and imprisonment for discriminatory discounts and price- cuttixig designed to kill off com- petitors. It then turned to the second statute arising from the Mass Buying report, the one es- tablishing a. trade and industry commission.

It became apparent today that Manitoba, Alberta and Saskat- chewan will attack only three of the eight laws, those creating the dll-hourwaek, the one day's rest in seven and the Dominion Minimum Wage Act. Each of these was grounded constitutionally on a draft convention of the Inter- national Inbor pffice at Geneva. On each of the other five laws. the three Prairie Provinces will express no opinion, neither attack- imz nor defending their validity although reserving the right to appeal from any decision-

Ontario. represented by Attorney- Gencral Roebuck. will attack por- tions of some laws and all of others. British Columbia will take no sides on the Natural Products , Marketing Act and clauses of oth- ers. On the three laws based on the treaties. the Dominion will find all Provinces aligned against it.

Louis St. Laurent, Montreal, presented the Domlnlonm argu- ments today on constitutionality of the trades and industry com- mission and will resume Monday. It empowered the Tariff Board to administer the Combines Act, re- commend to the Government ap- proval of prlco and p. ‘uctlon agreements In industry and, in conjunction with the National ‘Re- search Council supervise commod- ity standards including use of a national trade mark, "Canada standard."

"We cannot steer e. middle course," stated Mr. R. D. Hlnch. State President of the Returned sailors and Soldiers’ Imperial League of Australia, recently.

EXBIIIINIiI-III IN SENATE PRIIBE

Senator Nye Target 0f Democrat At- tack.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) WASHING/ION, Jan. ill-With knuckles bleeding from vehement desk pounding, Senator Glass (D.- Va.) today heaped a scalding at- tack upon Senator Nye (Rh-N. D.) for calling Woodrow Wilson a “fal- sifler."

Not in the recollection of the Senate's veterans had such a sear- ing indictment echoed through the Chamber as that of the outraged Virginian, shouting “demagogue? “coward? “mendaclousfl "malicious" at the hot-faced Senator from North Dakota.

And there were others to join in the attack upon Nye—majority leader Robinson of Arkansas, Byrnes of South Carolina, and Conaily of Tokay-Democrats all. '

Nye sat silent a; the veteran Senator voiced his indignation. So vehement aid the Virginian become that time after time he smashed his clenched hand upon his desk until finally the ha:d flesh of his knuckles split and a trickle of blood coursed down and dropped from his wrist.

Nye took the floor first to reply to on attack made yesterday by Conelly. Hi;- relterated his conten- tion that the records proved Wilson and Robert Iansinil. his secretary of slate. knew of secret treaties ev- en before the United States entered the war.

"I have no apologies to offer for anv comment I made." Nye said.

Nye told of spending $125,003 of Senate funds to finance the 20 mlmtlls of investigation. When he disclcszd that in addition to this fund he had received $80,000 from the works relief administration of New York City. the indignation of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. the majority leader. evidently knew no bounds.

“It is a most r§onTshing state- ment to be made." Robinson shout- ed. "that funds that were for the mllef oi’ distress should be sought 5v a committee created by the Sen- ate. and that the senate should be but in an attitude of going on re- lief."

Nye said he would pursue the work. but it was widely conjectured that the committee's efforts were about ended.
