Government May Shelve “Addres” to British Parliament.

OTTAWA. May l'l——-The rather devastating attack on the consti- tutional amendment in the House of Commons has raised doubt if, .i‘on7 the lines indicated, the Brit- ish North America Act will be amended. There is even doubt, it the Britfsh parl'ament will be ask- ed to do it. An "address". making such *1 request, needs to be sub- scribed to by both Hon:-s. The Commons will do it. Tfie Senate may not. Furthermore, even if it is passed by both Houses. the fact of strong opposition being register- ed will be known in London.

The British Parliament is not given to amending the constitution when the proposal is attended by evidence of hostility of those af- fected. What is before the House are requests for amendments which would increnc the taxollon p.'.‘W£'is of the provinces in respect of retail business. hotels, restau- l'l\l1i.'L places of amusement. etc, and enable the Dom'nlon Ci:>vem- ment to guarantee provincial debts if the provinces agree to the regu- lation of loan councils. strong opposition is voiced on several grounds. One is that. to do these things. no amendment to the E.N.A. Act is required. The re- quisite authority is claimed to al- ready exist.

Government lllelltsnt

Another is that the pravilces are definitely encouraged to expand their activities in taxation and where many have done so already —illegally as is clalmed—this act would validate their actions in a retroactive manner. Opponents of the move see only a further pyra- mlding of the already top heavy structure of taxation. The right of the Dominion to guarantee provin- cial debts for refunding is held to be Just as complete as it is to guar- antee the debts of tho Oansdlan National or of the harbor boards. Moreover, Alberta and British 001- umbia object to loan councils. In

The budget was adopted after a comparatively short debate and after successive Social. Credit and C. C. F’. amendments had been defeated under an avalanche of votes.

Ousted Vice --(-3-l-i2-tncellor Holds Conference With Mussolini In Rome.

(By A. D. Stefferud. Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) VIENNA, May 17—~Uncertainty made more acute to- day the problem of the almost ieaderless Fascist Helm-

wehr, private army ordered d Schuschnigg.

issoivcd by Chancellor Kurt

' Schuschnigg announced he would disband all private jurmies after he ousted the Heimwch1"s leader, Prince . Ernst Von Starhemberg, as vice-chancellor. Von Starhem- berg is now in Rome to see Premier Mussolini.

While thousands of otherwise unemployed youths of the Heimwehr wondered how to live without their daily I stipend of 30 cents, several of their leaders said they were pondering whether to turn Nazi, to leave the country, or to sit tight “waiting for the present government to fall.”

Many Rumors

Rumors, most of which seemed baseless. made the situation more tense although thousands of Vien- nese as usual went to the country on gay week-end excursions.

These rumors include:l—that a putsch is imminent, that. Heimwehr disturbances are occurring in 310 provinces and that Von Sta.rhem~ berg is formulating a new scheme for returning to power.

Provincial loaders dispatched a

ledge of loyalty and obedience to Von stnrhemberg last night and‘ one leader of the Prince's private army,in a conversation with the Associated Press ‘correspondent. used the dread words: “Civil war."

Baar-Baa:-lenfeld became vice- chancellor early Thursday when Schuschnigg ousted the Prince from that post.

Heimwlehr circles at the some time disclosed that provincial units. foremost in the formation. were assembling guns in their barracks.

“By the creation of carefully selected frce ports, Canada has an opportunity of developing a trade which. without the facilities on- joyed by frcc port areas. it is im- possible to secure. The creation of svnli zones would prove to the ad- vantage of exporters and import- ers alike," Mr. Murphy said.
