OTTAWA, May 7—The re- ictions which follow upon a price structure going up when it was designed and expected to go down are be- ing experienced by certain Liberal members over the price of motor cars. Feelings were vented at a caucus of Government supporters yes- terdiiy.

In the budget on Friday one duty .-the minimum one of 171,9 per cent—was substituted for the three different duties heretofore prevail- ing. and certain changes were made in the sales tax. The fact- iindings of the Tariff Board were

Speaking on the challenge of un- ; employment and relief, Mr. Re..- . ers said: “When we recognize the 3 persistence and magnitude l l

it is dangcrcus to adopt a laissez-

faire policy both from the stand- ‘ point oi human and financial re— ‘ ‘ sources. It is time to appeal for a inationwide co-operation betweeni governn~.*nLs and industry in an effort t deal with this challenge. “I am sure you will agree with me there is no permanent solution i.n public works. If the government were to attempt a public works program to employ all those on re- list it would impose an impossible burden. "If we are not able to deal er- fectively with unemployment and relief on the basis of a private en- terprise, there will be a steady pressure brought to bear upon the gov mment to meet the problem by huge public programs." He declared the main challenge dealt with the re-abxonption into industry of the 300,000 employ- abla who were willing to work. “I think it would be fair to say that the present economic problems deal with these employables." he said. Mr. Rogers referred to the ei- forts of the United States to speed recovery by public work; program. and added that now it was recog- nized this method of attack was a more "palliative." Referring to the B. N. A. Act. he held “it is dishonest to create the imDI'8SSi0Ii that the consti- tution can be ignored." There is no doubt division of authority is embarrassing at times, but this embarrasment cannot be swept awiy by ridicule. he declared. "It 3 the price we pay and must pay to insure a united Canada."

The political slogan in Geneva tonight was: “The pres- ent League is dead—long live the League.”

Premier Mussolini gave a.

would not take the count.

Opinion Voiced

The main currents of opinion voiced were that the League merely an association of govern- ments and can have only the pol- itical power which its members grant it. _

That Premier Mussollnfs con- quest in defiance of sanctions proves the ineffectiveness of econ- omic and financial sanctions.

That; a continuation of sanctions against Italy would needlessly ruin Italy and augment the economic losses of sanctionist countries.

Great Britain and France, it was admitted. will decide the League's immediate future.
