a message had been sent to the King staling his duty to the peoples of the Empire should outweigh any personal inclination, however great the sacrifice might he.j, He denied reports that Canada had pressed for a decision on the part of the King.The debate found Mr.Mackenzie King and Mr.Bennett both arguing the Government had acted properly in dealing with the abdication by Order-in-Council without summoning Parliament, despite earlier criticism of this course from J.3.Woodsworth, C.C.F.leader\u2019.Mr.Mackenzie King said the Cabinet had been guided by considerations of time and common sense, and had acted in accordance with the Statute of Westminster.The main estimates for Tie fiscal Both Sides in Automobile Walk-Out Exchange Charges of Breaking Conditions Incident to Fifteen-Day Truce\u2014 Negotiations Between Pacific Coast Marine Workers and Ship Operators Break Down Over Longshoremen\u2019s Pay Demands\u2014Utilities Companies in Indiana and Ohio j year 1937-38, tabled at the end of Affected by Latest Series of Walk-Outs.\t!\tE ,, ,\t, ,,\tr.'crease of $16,491,989 over the am- eaolocks gripped the United j ount voted last year- States two biggest labor dis- | National defence, including rnili-putes today, dashing hopes ot.{ary anr] naval services, comes in quick settlements in the automobile for - sa-.u n wouia .e a Imc Toronto and Ottawa stood to have filed bids rmjitlor.a!
