The Mayors To Go To Ottawa

A conference of the Confederation of Can- sdian Mayors and Municipalities will be held in Ottawa next week. In addition to consider- ing resolutions petitioning the liederal Govern- ment to take over the full unemployment relief load and to give wider functions to the Bank of Canada, the mayors will be asked to pro- nounce themselves on a third resolution request- ing the federal and provincial governments t0 impose no additional services on municipalities without at the same time creating a definite taxation source for their adequate financing.

Should that request be not feaslblfi. the mayors will be asked to suggest instead the establishment and maintenance of grants-in-aicl "sufficient to support such services." _

Unemployment relief works projects Wlll. also some in for discussion, and a resolution will be presented asking the federal Government to con- sider the costs of labor in any federal-provin- cial-municipal relief works _project “as embrac- ing 50 per cent. of the costs of material and that the federal and provincial Government be re- quested to assume such portion of the costs of materials as including labor costs."

A delegation of mayors will be chosen to meet with the federal Cabinet on Wednesday, April 12, to discuss the position taken by the conference on the questions mentioned» and to report back to the convention. It is expected that the resolutions as outlined will in principle

Mr. Dunning Hits Out

Mr. Dunning is not going on the shelf just yet, no, nor until he has reformed the book keep- ing system of his department, so he told the House the other day. At the same time he took a slap at the modern monetary reformers who call him “reactionary?

“On the reactionary business," Mr. Dunning said, “I have not talked monetary reform; 1 have done what lay in my power to bring about sane, sensible monetary and credit reform. What I have done will stand on the records long after my honorable friend's talk has vanished."

Mr. Landeryoii, M. P. had urged the minister to say just what limit he places “upon our abil- ity to carry the debt burden in Canada."

"All history shows us," l/lr. Dunning said,

“that nothing shifts more rapidly or more un- expectedly than people's ability to carry their communal financial and economic burdens. _ "All through history we have had the Ieremiahs telling each succeeding generation that the end is coming-that there is no hope, the load is too heavy and so forth.

"Yet each succeeding generation has evolved methods of carrying that load or adjusting it. Any dogmatizlng by myself or anyone else as t0 what can or will be done in the future in rela- tion to the debt-carrying capacity of the peo- ple would be merely the wildest of speculation.”

A Tense Week-End

Hitler's speech on Saturday was couched in the customary bullying tone, but contained no statement of Nazi policy toward Poland, and left the situation much where it stood. It is evident that Germany is disturbed at the pos- sibility of Poland signing a non-aggression pact along with Great Britain, France and Russia. Colonel Joseph Beck, Polish Minister of For-

eign Affairs, is slated to reach London this

week to confer with British officials on the question of a “Halt Hitler" pact, and the view

is general that German troop concentrations along the Polish border are proceeding with the purpose of intimidating Warsaw, and to pre- vent the organization of siich an anti-Hitler bloc. Poland's hesitation to sign the anti-aggres- sion agreement is apparently being construed in Germany as a sign of weakness and fear that the Nazis will consider such action an excuse t0 seize control of the Free City of Danzig and poosibly an invasion of Poland itself. Should the Western powers continue their “appeasement" policy, Poland would have no more to gain by sllyirig itself with France and Britain than Czecho-Slovakia did. Hence the British decision to take time by the forclock and finally embark ph a bolder course in an effort - to strengthen Poland's hand and reassure that nation that i he full resources of the British Empire will l be thrown into any conflict involving Poland and "Qermany. Otherwise, Poland's only hope lies in

Is it possible tcetolatism and non-smoking breed tyranny, and totalitarianism? We ask because we find that Hitler, Mussolini, and Franco neither drink nor smoke.

Resource Minister Crerar announced that conservation measures are under way to pro- vide for the resuscitation of the wild fur in- dustry in the interest of the 115,000 Indians who still make their living by hunting. It would be a good idea, and help the ranchers immensely were the Minister to buy the surplus silver foxes now on hand, and set them free, under game protectors, as breeders in the wild. A con- siderable business could be done in this way at $100 to $150 per pair. It is a wonder Mr. A. E. MacLean M. P. did not think of it on the eve of an election.

Laurier, then was con- sidered a man whose bolt was shot, and Dr. Dafoe remarked it just showed how impossible it was to foretell things in those days. Dr. Dafoe paid a high tribute to The Canadian Press, as one of the best news gathering agencies in the would. He described conditions before its or- ganizations, when world news was bought from the telegraph companies In his opinion, Dr. Dafoe said the world would be better off ivithout radio, which he characterized as a dang- erous weapon to corrupt minds and destroy wills. w w w w

Portugal is returning to Britain as her naitural and best guide, philosopher and friend in world affairs. It became apparent here not long ago that in the event of hostilities breaking out in Europe Portugal could not remain indifferent. Its geographical position and the importance of its large colonial empire, together with its proximity to the entrance of the Mediterranean, will force the hand of any government existing in Portugal if and when another European war devolps. Clmrly and undoubtedly its stand will be at the side of the British Empire, nothwith- standing the immense amount of propaganda spread over the country by Nazis and Fascists during the past two years. The people are now beginning to realize the folly of making friend- ly gestures to Germany and Italy.
