has not been disclosed and the Prime lvilnisier has stated that it will be made known when parlia- ment meets.

At present, under a statute adopt- cd in 1907. the Federal Government has power to control power export by the issue of licenses approved by ordcr-in-councii.

Cabinet Coundl decided as early as last April that no further power export licenses should be issued un- til parliament has again been con- sulted on the general policy to be followed regarding this commodity.

For that reason, the Prime Min- ister said, application for an export license had been refused the Mon- treal Light, Heat and Power Con- solidated last April. ‘The same de- cision prevailed when Mr. Hepburn asked for a license in November.

Now Mr. Hepburn charges the Federal Government is refusing his request because of a desire to force Ontario to become a. party to the St. Lawrence waterways project. an enterprise favored by the United states and Dominion governments but opposed by the present Ontario administration representing the pro- vince most concerned, and in suc- cessive votes. by a majority of the United Staies Senate.

OTTAWA. Dec. l9 ~40?)- Premicr I-Irrpibumii charge of fed- eral government fittempts to ob- tain control of Ontario's succes- sion duty collections and of fail- iire to cooperate with income tax infonnatiou was answered tonight by Finance Minister Dunning and Revenue Minister Ilsley.

These ministers, responsible for the Dominiods tax-fixing and revenue-collection agencies, denied there was any effort by the Do- minion to interfere with the prov- ince. Mr. Dunning said all he had done was cxiplorc with the prov- lnoes the possibility of achieving greater efficiency and economy in lnx collections.

Mr. Ilsley, after describing the agreement ‘o4’ 1936 between the federal and Ontario Governments whereby tho former agreed to col- lect the provincial income tax. said all income tax returns had been made available to Ontario officers on every ssion when requested under tii terms of the agreement.

Presentation To ii a i I w a y m a n

Tho December meeting of Divis- ion 20 of the Canadian Brother- hood of Railway Employees was held on Wednesday last. It was far from being an ordinary meet- ing, however, for on this occasion Mr. J.H. Monaghan, recordingsec- retary of the Division since its in- ception was presented with an ad- dress and purse on the occasion of his resigning from the position which for thirty years lie had fill- ed so capabiy.

In the address reference was made to Mr. Monagharvs valuable services, not only as secretary.’ but as local chairman and representa- tive of the employees with the railway management on schedule and other negotiations. The Bro- therhood was founded in order to procure a living wage for its mem- bers, and Mr. Monaghnn was one of the foremost in working to at- tain this ciid. His intellectual qualities, liis prudence and his de- termination wcrc of invaluable as- sistance to the members, who had to contend with great odds and face opposition of no trifling nat- ure. now gone; Mr. Moiisglian rcinnins. s. veteran. respected and admired by all.

In his reply Mr. Monagiian stat- ed that, if he had accomplished anything worth while for the members. it was due in great mens- ure to their spirit of loyalty and co-operation and to the splendid work of the other members of that initial group, known affectionately as the “Old Guard."

England, Scotland and Wales have been divided into food district areas. In each “shadow" organiza- tions have been established. They can, without delay. be called into existence should need arise. They are part of the general scheme to control the supply and distribution of food and feeding stuffs should emergency arise.

Neoesslt Regretful

Yet. while all these costly pre- parations are under way, no one re- grets their necessity more than ministers who have them in hand. “If the future of the world is to be nothing but an endless arma- ments race," says Sir John Simon. Chancellor of the Exchequer, ‘tits inhabitants would be fit for a mad- house and would end in nothing but the bankruptcy court. Arma- ments, however necessary. are no substitute for the political appease- ment which is the onlyreal basis of peace and- whicii is the direct ob- jcct of all our endeavors."

Si: Samuel Hoare, Home Secre- tary. while asking the House of

Commons to puss the Air Raid cautions Bill, (lCSCTlbCd it as "sett- iiig back the clock thousands of years." “For generations,“ s": Samuel continued, “we have been develop- ing the public services of the coun- try; light, water, gas and so on; and iii later years We have been, as part of this development. in or- der that the population shall be better and more cheaply served, concentrating these services into fewer hands and fewer localities.

There's the example of electricity‘

and the grid.

"Provisions of a bill of this kind. necessary as it is, run counter to everything we have been doing in that line. We have been striving to give rural districts a good lighting system. Under the provisions we are now considering we are talking about black-outs and the removal of lighting for a. time in many parts of the country.

"If I wanted s. further example still, I would say, look at clothing. For generations we have been de- velcping more rational clothes. Un- dcr the provisions of this bill we are making arrangements for dress- ing people up in gas-masks and gas proof suits that make them look as if they were monsters out of the dark ages.

“These facts do genuinely dc- prcss mo as I believe ihcy depress cvcry honorable member of this

House. They are so depressing, so fantastic in faoe of the condtions of the modern world that I cannot believe they are going to persist.”
