Section Governing International Treaties Is Insufficient to Give Federal Government Power to Make Drastic Changes\u2014Mackenzie King Attacks Premier for Alleged Failure to Call Conference with Provinces.DOBS NOT THINK MUCH OP LAWYERS.WOOD CONTRACT UNDERSTOOD TO HAVE MET SNAG London Financial Circles Hear Board of Trade Has Turned Down Deal Whereby Britain Would Buy Russian Lumber\u2014 Formal Canadian Protest Ottawa, February 9.\u2014Four eminent constitutional authorities waged a battle of precedents in the House of Commons yesterday, although ail were agreed upon the immediate question before them\u2014the ratification of an international convention respecting an eight-hour day and a forty-eight-hour week in industry.The issue was on whether ratification of this convention would provide constitutional basis for a bill the Government proposes to pass through Parliament and generally for Prime Minister R.B.Bennett\u2019s reform programme.On the Government side, Mr.Bennett and Hon.Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Justice, were the protagonists of international conventions as a method of giving validity to social legislation which othenvise might be outside the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada.On the Opposition side, Rt.Hon.W.L.Mackenzie King, Liberal leader, and Hon.Ernest Lapointe, former Minister of Justice, contended the method was a poor one and the Government should proceed by obtaining an amendment to the constitution, or at least secure an opinion from the Supreme Court of Canada.The British North America Act, the ancient document which divides the sovereign power of the Canadian nation between federal and provincial legislatures, was the core of the debate as non-legal members of the House listened in silence.It was agreed the limitation of#\u2014- hours of work would normally fall under the heading of property and civil rights, one of the exclusive preserves of the provinces.However, under another section of the E.N.A.Act the Dominion Parliament is given power to do all things necessary to fulfill Canada\u2019s obligations under international treaties.At the end of the war, Mr.Bennett recited, the safeguarding of the rights of labor was considered of such internatinal importance that it was recognized in the peace treaty signed by Canada.The treaty led in turn to the setting up of the League of Nations and the international labor organization.The latter had adopted the draft convention which the House of Commons ratified last night.Both Mr.King and Mr.Lapointe approved of ratificaiton, but they objected to the Government\u2019s avowed intention of making it the basis of its proposed reform enactments.As civilization advanced the views of lawyers became different, argued Mr, Bennett.In two recently decided cases the judicial committee of the Privy Council had upheld the right of the Dominion to step into the provinical sphere of legislative action to comply with international treaties, and take control of aeronautics and radio.The intention of the fanners of the British North America Act was stressed by Mr.Bennett to justify his stand.Quoting Privy Council judges, he said in interpreting a statute one should not allow general phrases to obscure the object of the act, which was to establish a system of government on federal lines.The intention was, he said, \"to give to the central government those high functions and almost sovereign powers by which uniformity of legislation may be secured on all questions of common concern.\u201d How could the high functions of the nation respecting its obligations to foreign countries to effect limitation of hours of work he carried out, he asked, except by legislation of the Dominion Parliament for all Canada?A mere assertion of jurisdiction did not give jurisdiction, contended Mr.Lapointe.He drew a distinction between the draft convention before the House and a binding treaty, and questioned whether the section of the constitution dealing with treaties applied in the present case.Further, he argued the Treaty of Versailles expressly made an exception for federal states such as Canada, merely placing upon them the obligation of bringing the convention to the attention of the authorities competent to deal with such matters, the legislatures of the provinces.\u201cThe Prime Minister's broadcast speeches, fine as they were, did not change the constitution of Canada,\u201d said Mr, Lapointe.At another point he said if labor was expecting a \"new deal\u201d from this move they might get \"a misdeal.\u2019\u2019 The former Minister warned against proceeding in a hasty or unsound fashion.Legislation to endure should be based on solid constitutional foundations.There was also a danger in upsetting established constitutional rights.No class in the country had a greater interest in the maintenance of constitutional rights than labor.Had due notice been given and a conference of the provinces been called a year or so ago.said Mr.King, the constitutional questions involved could have been solved by agreement.An amendment to the British North America Act could have been effected which would have paved the wav for legislation of unquestioned validity.He charged the Government with proceeding in a high handed manner and with neglecting to give parliamentary institutions sufficient opportunity to function.Ottawa, Feb.9.\u2014A.A.Heaps, Labor member for Winnipeg North, does not think much of lawyers.After listening to a sharp legal argument in the House last night he told a story.In the ,1919 Winnipeg strike, he and six others were arrested and brought before a court.Each of the others was defended by a lawyer and was convicted.The Laborite defended himself and walked from the court a free man, making a vow never to be blinded again by fine legal arguments.PRINCIPLES OF FRANCO-BRITISH ARMS ACCORD ENDORSED BY ITALY Official Communique States that Only Reservation Required to Mutual

the Anglo-French agreement reached in London, including the air pact, excepting only the obligations to be assumed by Italy and England toward each other.\"Responsible Italian circles,\u201d said the communique, \"have followed with great attention Üie recent conversations in London between the French and English governments, conversations of which the Italian Government has been kept informed.\u201cThese circles in general look with sympathy upon the final communi- que of these conversations and believe they contain the possibility of an accord with Germany and therefore the beginning of a period of collaboration among the interested powers.\"With regard more specifically to the air _ pact of mutual assistance, the position of Italy will soon be fixed in the sense of an adharence in principle, except to consider the special situation of Italy with r egard to Great Britain and vice versa.\u201cThe responsible Italian circles have noted with satisfaction the position

Canadian High Commissioner in London, at inclusion of the \"fall clause\u201d in tire Soviet timber import contract signed by Timber Distributors, Ltd., according to The Times today.The \"fall clause\u201d permits Russia to lower prices below the figures specified in the contract, if market conditions warrant, or other countries drop their prices.The Financial Times said today that its Newcastle correspondent understood the Board of Trade had turned down the timber contract, but added that a local timber importer said it was only a temporary hitch., Toronto, Feb.8.\u2014By joint agreement Ontario and Quebec have called a halt to competitive bidding by cities seeking location of factories or industries within their limits, Premier Mitchell Hepburn announced late tonight.\"Those promoting industries put municipalities and the provinces on a competitive basis,\" the Premier said.\u2018\u2018Invariably the promoters offer the argument that unless an Ontario municipality will make tax exemptions, bonuses, free buildings, financial guarantees ,the company will seek concession in a municipality in another province.\u201d Serious loss had been suffered by certain municipalities as a consequence.Mr.Hepburn\u2019s announcement fallowed lengthy negotiations with the Province of Quebec.\"The Government of Ontario deeply appreciates the co-operation of

Rudy Vallee court drama subsided today while Justice Salvatore A.Cotillo pondered a motion by Vallee\u2019s counsel to dismiss his wife\u2019s suit for abrogation of their separation agreement and her claim for an increased allowance.The proceedings, which have been marked by some caustic verbal exchange by opposing counsel, threatened to blow up completely toward the end of yesterday\u2019s session when Rudy himself aimed a blow at the flushed face of Benjamin A.Hart-stein, assistant counsel for Mrs.Fay Webb Vallec.Hartstein had stepped from the counsel table and said to Vallee: \u201cYou\u2019re not in the films now.\u201d Rudy turned, and with clenched fists, drew back his left hand as if to sw ing at Hartstein, who dodged as several persons in the courtroom came between them.Then both turned to Justice Cotillo and Hartstein said: \"1 was just adjusting my papers when this gentleman sneaked up on me and-\u2014 \u201cOh, no, lie didn\u2019t,\" remarked the judge, \u201cl saw Mr.Vallee and he didn\u2019t sneak up on you.\u2019\u2019 Vallee explained he thought court had adjourned.He apologized to Justice Cotillo, but not to Hartstein.About that time, Justice Cotillo spotted Benjamin C.Cohn, Mrs.Vallee\u2019s California lawyer, taking notes.\u201c}es, Mr.California,\" he said, \u201cI see you watching me.Watch mo closely and you'll probably get enough

the month of December as compared with the preceding month and the corresponding period in 1933, according to a bulletin issued today by the Quebec Bureau of Mines.Asbestos shipments, however, were somewhat lower.Seasonal conditions in the building industry caused a general decline in the production of building materials, especially cement, but clay products were higher in value during the month.For the last three months of 1934, increases were noted in the production of gold, silver and clay products as compared with the final quarter of 1933.Cement shipments were about the same and declines were noted in asbestos and lime.Asbestos, gold and silver shipments for the last quarter of 1934 were above the preceding three months, but sharp declines' were noted in the production of building materials, clay products, lime and cement.NOTED LAWYER DEAD Ottawa, Feb.9.\u2014M.J.Gorman, K.C., one of the oldest and most widely-known lawyers, in Eastern Canada, died here today after- an

new, came out of the scientific magic box of the Bell Laboratories here today.They were shown last night at a meeting of the University of Michigan Club of New York by Dr.Sergius P.Grace, vice-president of the laboratories.\t'\u2014 The lung substitutes electric current for air to make vocal sounds in the artificial larynx which the laboratories invented to restore speech to about one thousand persons in the United States who have lost their vocal cords.The new instrument looks like an overgrown pipe.It is placed in the mouth, much like a pipe, whenever the voiceless person wishes to talk.Instead pf smoke, it pours into the mouth a pure tone, which becomes intelligible speech merely by movement of mouth, lips and tongue in ordinary- conversational manner.With the new electric lung the voiceless person uses a pocket battery little bigger than a deck of cards.The magnetic handcuffs demonstrate the super-magnetic power of a new alloy.With a cuff on each wrist, or held on each hand, the chain between is joined by placing together two flat pieces of the new metal.The most powerful man cannot pull these plates apart.GIVE MONTREAL FULL POWER IN ROYAL COUPLE ACCLAIMED BV
