(Special To The Guardian)

TORONTO, Ont, Mar. 24. - In a session which oncluded at 1.30 o'clock this morning, the Ontario Legislature voted estimates totall- ing over $37,000,000 and approved every suggested Government ex- pendlture for 1933 with the soil- tary exception of a $5.000 item in the Prime Minister's ofilce. 'I‘hls item, labelled “sundry investiga- tions" was withheld ior further discussion today at the earlier re- quest oi Harry C. Nixon, Progres- sive leader.

Little comment arose durins their passage as the Opposition seats, busy earlier in the night, were slowly deserted with the ex- ception of a few stalwarts who re- mained under the Charles Robertson, Liberal, North Huron.

The reason icr the leaving over of the $5,000 in the Prime Minis- ter's Department tagged "for in- vestigations," it was freely stated was to provide a safety valve for discussion oi hydro, in case a resolution, planned by Messrs.

Sine-Japanese g Peace P a r 1 e y Delegates Hopeful 0f Satis- factory Agreement.

By Morris J. Harris

(Associated Press Staff Corres- pendent)

SHANGHAI, Mar. 24. —(AP) — Another session of the Sine-Jap- anese peace parley ended today without definite accomplishment and troops in the field went on strengthening their lines.

At today's meeting the Chinese spokesman was General Tai Chign commander of the Shanghai garri- son. Lieutenant General Kenklchi Uyeda remained at the head of the Japanese group. It was a brief meeting and as the conferees left they indicated there had been no material advance in the negotia- tions, but that the outlook was still hopeful.

One factor which is slowing up the proceedings is the language difficulty. There are Chinese, Jap- anese, British and French repre- sentatives and none understands the language oi‘ the others, an in- terpreter has to translate every- thing four ways.

Another complication, it was re- ported, was continuing factional differences. among the various Cantonese authorities, one group lining up behind Sun Fo-and the other with Chlang Kai-Slick. whose basis for effecting a truce differs from that of the Government leaders.

At sundown a throng oi worship- pers in the Basilica saw priests carry in the wine in eght chaiices, seven c? crystal and one oi golden metal.

The clergy then imparted abless- ing with Holy relics connected with Christ's passion and death. These were reputed portions of the cross, the Holy Veil oi Veronica and the lance with which the centurion pierced Christ's side.

Another colorful ceremony was held in St. Peter's this afternoon. A Cardinal known as the grand pen- itentiary seated himself at the tri- bunal of penitence and heard the confessions of the priests who are confessors in st. Peter's. Then con- fessions finished, he tapped them sharply on the head with a long wand, this commemorated the old penance which customarily was done in piralic.
