Conservatives “Bound To Protest”, Ottawa Liberal Paper States.

OTTAWA, Oct. 27-—In s. frankly outspoken leading editorial the Ottawa Citizen severely criticizes the King Government for its sel- ection of the personnel of the Royal Commission on Dominion- Provlncial Relations and agrees that “Conservatives were bound to protest against the partisan char- acter of the Commission."

The Liberal Viewpoint

"Individually, the commissioners are men of character above ro- proach," the Citlmn states, but “politically, they represent only a conventional Liberal point efview" and "Mr. Bennett could well ob- ject. as he did vigorously at Bran- don lest Friday night st the an- nual meeting of the Manitoba Conservative Association."

The Ottawa Citizen gives the Liberal party independent support, and its editor is regarded as one of the most advanced thinkers in the social and economic field in this country.

Bound To Protest

‘the text of the Citizen's editor- s oi is as follows: ““"ryoiilemtives"y=ere bound-tr protest against the partisan char- acter of the Royal Commission on Dominion relations with the prov- inces. Individually, the commis- sioners Nre men of character above reproach; politically. they repre- sent only a conventional Liberal point of view. Mr. Bennett could well object, as he did vigorously at Brandon last Friday night at the annual meeting of the Mani- toba Conservative Association.

Sct In Opinions

“As well as Conservative lack of confidence, the Province of Alberta has already decided that it would be profitiess to submit any cflicial statement to the Commission. One leading commissioner, in an excep- tional position to influence public opinion throughout the prairie pro- vinces, has been waging a com-

policy over since the people elect- ed the present. Legislature in 1985. There is no single member of the Royal Commission with any more advoncecfpoint of view on the old order of financial credit control than John W. Dafoe. Alberta's provincial cfTort to find s. new way out of the economics of scarcity is condemned by the Royal Com- mission's very nature.

"Quite apart from Alberta, there are many people in other parts of the country with radical opinions on monetary policy. in advance of the mid-Victorian policy of the

(By The Associated Press)

ROME. Oct. 28—Premier Musso- lini today celebrated the 15th an- niversary of Fascisnfs rise to power with an open declaration for treaty revision that would give Germany the -Afrlcan colonies the lost at the end of the Great War.

‘Teacc?’ Mussolini declared was the watchword for the 16th year of Fascist power. But he added:

“For a durable and fruitful peace it is necessary that Bolshevlsm be‘ eliminated in Europe, starting with ' Spain. It is necessary that some clauses of the peace treaties be revised.

“It is necessary that a great people. the German people. have once more the place to which they lire entitled and which they once possessed in the African sun.”

The spcrch at Mussolini Forum, in celebration of the 15th anni- versary of the historic Fascist march Km Rome. was the first time ‘lllussolini openly threw support ‘behind Chancellor Hitler's de- imands for colonial possessions for . Germany.

German Delegation Present

“H811. Der Fuehrer!" the 53am- bled Blrickshirts shouted in Ger. man as the Nazi delegation march- ed into Mussolini Forum.

Diplomats interpreted Mussolinils espousal of German colonial de- mands as the result of an agree- ment reached during his recent, state visit to Germany by Whlgh Italy and Germany would go hand lri hand in colonial matters,

“The Fascist position regarding the German colonial question has now crystallized," one diplomat said. "The cards are now on the table."
