FRAr K W. DUNCAN Phone 54 Flesherton, Ont. House of Commons (Continued from Page 1) most important made in the 61 year history of the Supreme Court. The presentation of the case took two weeks and the judges five months to write their decisions. The result of the matter is that the Farmers' Cred- itors Arrangement Act and Section 198A of the Criminal Codt- having to do with the punishment for unethical business practices, were upheld, while on the validity of the Minimum Wane Law, the 48 Hour week, and the week- ly Day of Rest acts the learned jud- ges were tied 3-3, but the Natural Proiluets Marketing Act. the Employ- ment and Social Insurance Act, were declared ultra vires. In other words ! in the opinion of the Supreme Court the Federal government had overstep- ped its authority. In the United States when the Su- preme Court gives a decision it is fin- al and the whole set-up based on a law (leclare<i invalid, collapses; but here the decision handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada are only an opinion and the matter can be car- ried to the judicial committee of the Privy Council in England. This may or may not be done in this case It has however, a flattening effect and the efforts of parliament the last two years seem to have come to nought. We were also this week subjected to the unusual excitment of a debate on Canada's foreign policy, a rare oc- currence in our Parliament. In a very carefully prepared sta cement read by Mr. King to the House, the Prime Minister reviewed Canada's attitude toward the Leapue of Nations and made pronouncement that our dele- gates to the League Assembly would be instructed to vote for the lifting of economic sanctions against Italy fThe Cabinet had come to this con- clusion some days previous to the announcement that the United King- liom would move for the lifting of sanctions further, Mr. King said: "The difficulty arises from the inevitable dilemma which the application of sanctions presents: if moderate, they may fail to deter or halt the aggressor they may drive an aggressor to prefer the gamble of sudden battle to the prospect of slow strangulation. They mean the application of force." He further pointed out that the whole problem was intensified by the fact that today powerful nations are out- side the League and that behitul all the efforts to end the Italo- Ethiopian conflict was the fear of a spark from .Afiicu setting Europe ablaze. Mr. Bennett said he could not en- tirely a^'iee with the j^ovornment's attitude and stated tliat there was a different viewpoint to sanction which had been expressed bv Premier Hert- dog of South Africa and so far, Mr. Bennett said, he could find no lack of lojric in it. It was that by lifting sanctions "we undoul)to(lly put a di- rect premium on the violation of in- tornation agreements." Caiuula could he thought, stand by the side of South Africa in tolling the world we did not sanction the breaking of solemn treat- ies. Thai Canada should take careful sto<k of her relation to the world and formulate a foreign policy for the immediate future, was urged by Mr. Woodsworth. He thought that we were inclined to be colonial-minded and slavishly follow Great Britain, which attitude created an inferiority' complex, Canada, he said, was in no [ danger of attack, since United States [ would ijeither attack us nor permit^ another country to do so. For this i reason he wa.s disposed to a policy of isolation, but he also realised that in the louK view no nation could live to i itself. Canada should, he said, make some declaration of neutrality' as South .Africa and the Irish Free State had already done. Our immunity from attack was also emphasised by Mr. Kini;. "Canada, it is true, inilike nuiny less fortuTiate ntrios, is not exposed to direct and imininont daniror of attack and con- (luest by any country. We are for- tunate both in our neighbors and lack ci' neifrhbors," he said. It was quite clear that every speaker saw the three horns of our dilemma, the LoagiU' or collectivist, the Imperial and the is- olationist policies. Dilemmas usually have only two horns, but we have ad- ded one. The debate is not yet con- cluded. WHERE YOU BUY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND WE ASSURE YOU CLEAN FRESH GROCERIES AT BETTER BARGAIN PRICES.

KENNEDY Phone 37 Flesherton We Deliver found strong support in the House. There was a great deal of tension and ill-feeling displayed; enough to show that the language and racial question could be made disruptive and embit- tering. The majority of the inedpen- dents, of which I was one, supported Mr. Barber. As Mr. Bishop puts it, the Radio Act went through without any static and with a minimum of discussion. From now on no private stations can i>o set up without an Order-in-Council being passed and all the rev-'nue col- lected from radio licenses, less only the cost of collection, jcoes to the Can- adian broadcastiiisr Corporation. Pre- viously $200,000 of the total was used in another branch of the Marine De- partment. .Mr. Howe, Minister of Marine, pointed out that we have far too many small power rado stations, privately owned, which complicate channels of communication. Of the Rl Canadian stations only eight are owned by the Commission, while in Great Britain all stations are government owned and controlled. Au.stralia is a bit closer than we are to the British ideal. Residents in the Yukon had to rely on San Franciscin for any Canadian news of the last campaifin. Mrs. Black, momlK>r for the Yukon, told the House and all overseas news either comes through there or Alaska, which fact reduces very Rreatly the use of the radio in that part of the country.

MUIR Ceylon Phone 38 r 3 On the third I'eading of the Bank of Canada .\ci a Conservative niem*>er, Mr. Barber, moved to cut out the amendment therein providing for the use of French and English language on the face of all money bills. With only 4.0 per rent of the total popula- tion in the western provinces French and with large numbers of other nat- ionalities in the same localities, he felt the use of the French language on all the bills would stir up discon- tent. Better it, he said, as it was, "/'th English bills for English com- •^'•inities and French bills for French ""^nmunities. Mr. Kinir spoke heatedly of "intoler- 'vc and bigotry" as shown by the I Barber amendment which, however, FRIDAY & SATURDAY Are the Concluding Days of OUR ANNUAL STAR Remember the dates F. H. W.
