C01. O. M. Biggar, K. C., Launches Ap- peals From Judg- ments of Supreme Court of Canada

(By The Canadian Press)

LONDON, July S-The right of the courts to determine the valid- ity of a legislative act by examin- ing it in relation to other enact- ments of a legislature was chal- lenged before the Judicial Com- mittee of the Privy Council today by Colonel 0. M. Blggar. K.C., counsel for the province of Alber- ta, as he launched three appeals from judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada which invalidated measures of the Social Credit Gov- ernment.

Questioned by members of the court, Colonel Bigger argued the intentions oi the Alberta, legislat- ure in enacting its bank taxation bill must be sought in the “word- age of the statute itself." thatoth- erwlse the whole body of provincial legislation would be involved. and consequently the jurisdictionof a provincial legislature would vary from time to time as the courts sought to determine whether an act “is honest or not."

Lord Atkin interjected he was not sure it was a question of hon- esty or dishonesty. "but rather whether the province is encroach- ing on the powers of the Domin- ion." I-Ie thought the intention of the legislature in regard to the ec- onomic system could not be found simply by looking at a taxation measure. Lord Maugham, the Lord Chancellor, who presided, conceded one could not go back far in ex- aminlng legislation. "but that you cannot go back at all is very sur-

prising to me." __ M '00 _ Blklllirui lcized‘ the fac- tum submitted by the attorney general of Canada to the Supreme Court at Ottawa. in which he said it was sought to show that the bills formed part of a Social Credit scheme by including evidence such as quotations fl-cni books, pamph- lets and speeches.

“We were rather appclled at that kind of factum." ccun-el for the province remarkxl. "Our conten- tion ls that none of this material is relevant. We have to look at the bills themselves to s-ze what was the intention of the leglslaturenot at Jtzttements made by Major Dcvrzlos in his books."

HALIFAX. July 5 —(CP)-Ee- gistratlon of nurses for emergency purposes was urged by Miss R. M. Simpson, O B. E., of Toronto, be- fore the conventlcn of the Can- adian Nurses‘ Association tdoay.

The Association president told dale ates they must ot wait "un- til t e confusion of t e call when it may arise." It was important that qualified nurses be register- ed with the Department of Militia and the Red Cross, not with the thought of war, but in the event of a major disaster.

The convention which more . than 600 delegates are expected to attend heard Miss Jean I Browne, Montreal national direct- . or and editor of the Junior Red Cross Magazine, suggest incor- poration of the association. In- corporation would place the or-

Ste a ln s h i p Collides With il.|li.8. Crion

The steamship North Star, Cap- tain Welsh, collided stern first yes- terday with HMS. Orion, in Char- lottetown harbor. The Orion was anchored in the channel, and the accident occurred while the North Star was backing away from her doclk as she was leaving for Mont- rea . The three-stacked passenger boat was backing slowly at the time, and when it became apparent the two ships would collide, she drop- Ded both anchors and the signal “full speed ahead" was given. Her motion was considerably checked when she struck the Orion a glan- cing blow just aft of her quarter. Though noise of the impact could be heard a considerable distance along the waterfront, only damage definitely reported was to the cruis- er's accommodation ladder, which was crushed between the two ships. No one was on the ladder at the time. and none was injured.

Divers from the Orion went over- side and spent an hour examining her plates. but it was not known whether any plates had been start- ed or not.

Immediately after the crash, Captain Welsh went aboard the Orion to consult with Captain Kin- ahen. R.N. The crash occurred at about 2.30 pm., and shortly before four o'clock the North Star got underway again for Montreal. She arrived in port this morning on a special trip from New York, via HdlliBX, With 320 passengers on board.
