SENIOR CIIAPLAIN ADDRESSES ASSEMBLY

8'1‘. CATHARINEB, Ont., June 11 -(CP)—I..ieut.-Coi. (Bishop) C, A. Wells, senior chaplain ot"t.he Pro- testant chaplain service, told the Assembly inst night that. he was ‘glad" that Italy rad declared war against the Allies. Lilly's entry 90 has aroused the civilized world that victory for Britain and France now is assured, he said,

Bright sixits on the war front were the successful evacuation of Flanders and the fine spirit in the French line. but ‘the brightest spot of all comes today. The Itali- an have attacked and I em glad that iiicv have attacked —- because fhcyhaveondcd the suspense," the chaplain said.

The moderator urged prayers for the "forgiveness oi our enemies" shortly after Italy's declaration of war. “We i~nve no desire to s1! our enemies crushed merely for the sake of their humiliation, but we wish. for them as well as for eur- scli s, that their eyes be opened t0 see the truth."

' Prime Minister Mackenzie King, lrepiymg to a question from Con-

government continued to give con- sideration to national registration.

A petition, contained in two large cartons and slflned by 57,409 peope from Ontario to the Pacific Coast. urging care for all needy people

past the age 0f 65. was presented by A. W. Neill (Ind. Comox-Al- bernl).

Amendments to the ricuiturfl Products Cat-operative rketing

Act of i939 were consideredlncom- mlttee and passed and the House adJourned at six o'clock.

No Evening Session

Prime Minister Mackenzie King asked the House to eliminate the evening sitting “because of the situation 1n Europe I would like to

of Canadian Chaplains‘ in theser- jobs

have my lcabinet) colleagues with me tonight."

Powers robe conferred on the munitions and supply minister are safeguarded by a. clause which states they may be exercised by him "notwithstanding, and without restriction or limitation by, the provisions of any other act or or- der-in-council."

The minister will have almost unlimited power to require such performance by organizations en- gaged on war contracts as may be deemed necessary, to take over storage space for war purposes, and to set up new companies under government supervision and orwn- ership.

Where disagreement arises be- tween the minister and any com- paiiv over compensation, the claim shall be referred bv the Minister of Justice to the Exchequer Court of Canada.

General Powers Conferred

General powers conferred on the minister are contained in the fol- lowing paragraph:

"The minister shall examine into. organize, mobilize and conserve the resources of Canada contributory to. and the sources of suplply . munitions of war and supp ies and the agencies and facilities avail- able for the silpplv of the same, and for the construction and carry- ing: nut oi defence projects and shall explore. estimate and provide for tlze fulfdment of the needs. present and prospective. of the government and the community‘ in respect. thereto and generaliysjyl take steps to mobilize. conserve and co-ordinaie all economic and indus- trial facilities in respect of muni- tions of war and supplies and cle- fence projects and the supp thereof."

M. J. Caldwell (CCF. Rosetown- Bigger) said he was anxious to sec established in Canada thesome iabor-eiriploywsi" reiatonship as had been created in Britain.

Unless ccni anies like the Inzlis Company (Jilin Inglis Company of Toronto, now manufacturing Bren guns on government contract) were brought to time. Canada would be faced with a series of labor disputes.

W. P. Mulcck (Lil-i You: North) asserted such matters should be left to the La-bci- Department.

C. Glilis rCCF Cape Breton South) said the Inglis Company was opposed to organized lllbiil‘ and

added the (‘i150 of a man being clisnzisscd fhr-rc for labor 01mm- izntion had been bciurc the labor

(Eeparimcnt for txvo months without apparent result.

Fm- ‘Coliecilve Bargaining

Mr. HAnS/Jn said years ago he had been opposed to organization of labor but after personal review. quite apart from any political con- siderations. he had reversed his attitude and advised his law clients accordingly. '

“I'm for collective bargaining end I don't. care who knows it." Mr. Hanson said. "If I cant take my party with me, well and good."

In this case. war equipment was being built with ublic money, so a proper labor re ationship should be established.

He accused Major J. E. Hahn, head of the Inglis plant, witn “carrying on a system of sabowzfl of organized labor" in his indus-

tr -

. Hanson said the genuine trade unionist was unong the best citizens of Canada.

R. W. warren (Lib. Renfrew North) submitted that there el- ways hacl been men who wouldn't work or talked themselves out of

. MI‘. Gillis retorted that the men who would hot work were generally found at the head of cor- porations. And the so-cailed agi- tators who talked themselves out of jobs were the men who pioneer- ed the way for organized labor.

R. W. Mayhew (Lib. Victoria, B. C.), a manufacturer, said he had airways favored organization of his own employees.

As to manufacturer-a dedring huge war profits, he stated there was not a. plan Government could not. take over without. pa ing any profit.

The fort 00mins: budget should not take 20 or 40 oer ecnt of ex- cess profits, but all excess profits. Not a Canadian citizen should come out of this war $1 better off.

Mr. Howe told members he wee sure profit. on any contract made by his department did not exceed five per cent.

Mr. Caldwell said he believed the time would come, and should come, ivhcu Canadian industry would be taken over and operated by the Government. ‘He hoped care would be taken to gtiard against such public operations getting too far beyond the control of Parliament.

A suggestion from Howard Grcm icon. Vancouver South) that Canada enter upon a mer- chant shtp building program con- ylfilllll units up to l0,000 tons,

rew from Mr. Howe the opinion that such a move would be im- practicable at tne, present time.

The shortage of merchant shipping. acute earlier in the war, was now much less acute. the min- istcr said, Ho was doubtful if it could be claimed today that there was any shot-ta c of shipping for carriage of goo s between Canada and the. British isles.

Conservative lender Hanson wondered whether the port of saint John was being used as much n: yin-willie for ivnr shipments over- .~i-"~'. in 1'1" ia=i \\'Jl' it was utiliz-
