OTTAWA, June ZS-(CP) —The National Defence De- partment has started a sur- vey 0f Canadian National Railways shops to determine their availability and suit. 001M)’ for turning out mun- ltlons, tanks and other war supplies.

Announcement to this ef- fect was made tonight by Defence Minister MacKenzie who today received a depu- tation from Stratford where 209 workers at the C. N. R. shops have been laid off. Mr. MacKenzie said he would 59nd inspectors to Stratford to look over the shops there.

Mr. MacKenzie said he does not wish to hold out false hope for C.N.R. work- ers but if needed war sup- plies can be turned out in these shops they should. be.

Defence Department in- spectors already have sub- mitted reports on some Can- adian N a t i 0 n a l Railways shops and the Stratford sit- uation will be looked into immediately.

The Canadian Press learns there are not enough Canadian orders in prospect to keep any considerable number of C.N.R.. workers busy. even if the shops should be found suitable. But it is learned consid-

eration is being given to the plac-

ing of possible arms orders from

Great Britain with the shops of the nationally-owned railway sys- tem. Mr. MacKenzie was silent on this possibility.

SEES DANGER m Poullcll PRIILPERITY

By STEPHEN J. MoDONOUGH Associated Press Science Writer OTTAWA. June 2ll-America hes already reached. or will reach late in i938. the bottom of the present depression. Leonard P. Avres. eco- nomist of the Cleveland Trust COmDMlY. told the American As- sociation for the Advancement of Science here today. Characterizing the United states Goverrunents 83.753.000.000 spend. int; pfoitram as “politically primed prosperity". Ayres admitted it will spur business activity and, that "American resources are so great that they can support such a pro- gram for a long time to come." However. he added. “this is a very serious condition, for in the long run the new system of polm. cal prosperity can be made to work well enough to destroy gradually the habits of self-help and enter- prise on which a free society de- pends." ,

Business Control

As the United States enters on its "second vast experiment in Dump priming" it is well on the way toward the control of business “by persons whose principal occu- pation is not industry. finance. ag- riculture. or trade. but the winning of elections." he told the econom- 10s section of the association.

Before making his prediction for busines recovery Ayres declared that such forecasts are always dif- ficult but are made doubly so to- day by “Politicians. mystics. demo- Rogues. prophets. reformers and soldiers" who know nothing of bus- iness processes.

Nevertheless. he said, business, after continuing its present slump through August, will probably pick up materially from September through December and on into

39.

Courtland Elliott. Toronto econo- mist, echoed Ayres’ predictions at the same meeting. “Provided no further marked curtailment of the volume and value of our produc- tion in relation to costs and mar- kets occurs. the business outlook in Giselle. is by no means bleak." he s .

“Indeed. there is reason to be- lieve that only further maladjugg- ments arising out of European un- settlement or an American second- ary collapse could arouse real ap- prehensionJQ

Refuses Assistance From Wealthy Kin

NEWPORT, R. 1., June 28- Francis 0. French, father of Mrs. John Jacob Astor, III, relief in Middleton, R. day it was learned today. His ap- lication is in the hands of a re- ef case work supervisor at New- _ port, Robert W. Smith, public aid director, announced.

French, whose financial and mar- ital difficulties and desire to “ex- pose" the foibles ‘of society have worried his wealthy kin for years. has steadfastly refused to acce t family financial aid. He once sad he would “never take any assist- ance" from his children, even though he considered "Jack Astor a fine lad."

In a rented flat which he and his wife occupy on Paradise Road. Middleton. French said today he applied for relief for the sim le reason that he was down to is last $15. He said he didn't con- sider his quest of relief unusual or anything different than "hundreds

of thousands of other persons" out of work were doin . A grocers boy_ came in with a asket of food- stuffs and French took a bill from the "last s15" to pay him,

HllRE-BELISHA REURGANIZES AIR lljlllcl

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON, June 28—The House of Commons today debated three questions related to British secur- lly-bombings cf British ships by Spanish Insurgent aircraft, the Of- flcial Secrets Aci, and War Office plans to strengthen anti-aircraft defences.

Attention was focussed 0n Prime Minister Chamberlains announce- ment that Great Britain had ag- ain protested to Gersral Franco of the Spanish Insurgents against continued bombings of British slllifls in Spanish waters.

e later announced immediate creation of a tpecial parliamentary committee to in- vestigate the Official Secrets Act and.ils application to members of Parliament.

War Secretary Leslie Here-Be- lishas announcement of plans to increase Britains specialized anti- aircraft divisions to a strength of nearly 100,000 men was another de- velopment of the day.

Present strength is 43,000. He said he also intended to create a spezial section of the Imperial General staff responsible for anti- alrcraft defence.

Mr. Chamberlain disclosed Bri- tain had pressed for an immed- iate reply from Franco on the bombings protest. This would en- able Sir Robert Hodgson, British agent at Burgos, to bring it back in erson when he returns this wee to London for conferences with Government leaders.

Tile Prime Minister's slatements on the protest followed reports cir- culatlllg here that Franco had suggested establishment of Almeria as a neutral port to which British ships bound for Loyalist Spain might go in safety.

The DptpOSltlDn plans to launch a fresh of ensive a ainst the errlment when de ate on the sec- rets motion begins Thursday. They were expected to base their objec- tions to the act on grounds it mcnaces parliamentary liberties.

On the same day Clemnet R. Attlce, leader of the Labor opposi- tion, will again question the Prime Minister on the bombings of Bri- tlsh ships.

Threat To Gibraltar

Tile Duchess of Alholl, who re- centiv resigned the Conservative whip. added to the days events by furnishing details of what she said was the threat of German-made suns point/ed at Gibraltar from In- surgent Spain.

She demanded to know what the government was going to do about it. The Government has taken the position generally that the guns did not constitute a threat to Gib- raltar.
