[" Sherbrooke Daily Record Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1924.Twenty-seventh Year, COMMITTEE TO STUDY BRITISH DEBT PROBLEM Government Plans Additional Water Power Development Labor Policy Is Not Criticized Very Severely Premier Macdonald\u2019s Statement of Policy in the House of Commons Yesterday Does Not Entirely Escape Adverse Criticism, But, Remembering that London Papers, with One Exception, Are Not Avowed Supporters of New Ministry, It Cannot Be Said that This Criticism Is Severe \u2014London Times Thinks Most Important Feature of Macdonald\u2019s Forecast Is Committee to Consider National Debt and Related Issues.(Associated Press Despatch.) LONDON, February 13.\u2014The general good-will hitherto extended to the Labor Government by the London press is not withdrawn as a result of Premier Macdonald\u2019s statement of policy in the House of Commons yesterday, but his declaration naturally does not entirely escape adverse criticism.Remembering, however, that the papers, with one exception are not avowed supporters of the new ministry, it cannot be said that this criticism is severe.The comment that the Premier dealt in platitudes and said much that the leader of any party might have said, is fairly general, and there is some sharp dissent with his attitude toward the action of the new Health Minister, John Wheatley, in giving the Poplar guardians a rather free hand in the distribution of relief to the unemployed, thus reversing '.he policy pursued by his predecessor.Otherwise, the editorials are mostly indulgent.The Times commends the Premier\u2019s programme as comprehensive and well arranged, but remarks that problems are not to be solved by merely stating them.The paper thinks the most important feature of his forecast is the committee to consider the National debt and related issues.It says the composition of this committee will be awaited with critical interest because of \u201cthe risk that the committee may be overladen with -onvinced adherents of socialist finance.\u201d CLAIM RANK AND FILE OF LABORITES DISAPPOINTED The Daily Telegraph complains'*\t\u2014\u2014 -\u2014-\u2014 chat there was \u201ca touch of arrogance not altogether pleasing,\u201d In his reference to the foreign policy, but otherwise sees hardly anything in the statement which might not have figured in a programme speech by Stanley Baldwin or Mr.Asquith.The Morning Post says the measures forecast by the Premier \u201csuggest that the Socialists are filching their policy from the older parties,\u201d and adds: \u201cIn these circumstances, the alarming redness of the Socialist dawn is becoming a rather drab day.\u201d The Westminster Gazette congratulates Mr.Macdonald on a programme which \u201cis thoroughly in line with the Liberal policy, and can excite little serious opposition in any quarter of the Commons,\u201d but it awaits further explanation of the Poplar incident, \u201cin regard to which many Liberals are profoundly uneasy.The Daily Chronicle, a supporter of Mr.Lloyd George, is ve^y \u2022: i \u2022

CONSERVATIVES NOT TO HAMPER NEGOTIATIONS Asquith Referrei to Latitude the Government Has Given Guardians of Poplar District.(Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Feb.13.\u2014Former Premier Stanley Baldwin indicated today that the Conservative opposition was unlikely to take any action that would hamper the Macdonald cabinet in negotiating with France.Former Premier Asquith, following Mr.Baldwin, referred to the latitude the Government had given the guardians of the Poplar district of London in distributing relief to the unemployed, and said he wished to say in the most unequivocal terms that unless the Government could see its way to reconsider the action of the Ministry of Health in this respect there was not the least chance of that administrative act receiving the countenance or approval of the House.PR1NCEANDHÏS BRIDE CAUGHT BY REPORTERS DOCK WORKERS\u2019 WALK-OUT MAY YETBEAVERTED Hope Prevails that a Settlement Will Be Reached When Conference Is Resumed

the Federal treasury, was the claim j which Hon.J.E.Caron, Minister of ; Agriculture, made in the Quebec1 Legislative Assembly yesterday when reference was made by the | Conservative Opposition to the fact j that there is now pending before the Privy Council the test case on that point.The case is entered in the name of Mr.Caron, who objects on principle to paying income tax on , his indemnity and salary as minister.1 The matter was brought up during the course of discussion on agricultural estimates.Mr.Caron claimed that if the employees of the Provincial Government had to pay income tax, it meant less earning power for them, and consequently need for higher wages, so the prorince was i being taxed by the Federal Govern-1 ment.The Federal Government itself Î had raised the same point with the ! city of Montreal, said the Minister.I The Federal Government had leased one of its buildings in Montreal to _ an individual, and the city went to the outbreak of the war because of tax the property.The Federal Gov- hi* strong pacifist opinions, ernment contended this depreciated the value of its property.The Province of British Columbia, continued the minister, had even gone to the extent of claiming it should not pay ! excise and customs taxes on the liquor imported.\t> Discussed Farm Tractors.The House discussed tractors, J.E.Renaud, of Laval, claiming thati the minister had encouraged the farmers to buy tractors, and the re- ! suit was that they are now burdened with liabilities.Mr.Caron said the Decisive Government had not urged the farmers to buy tractors, but when the i opinion of the department had been | asked, had recommended moderate! priced tractors made by the Cleye- J land Tractor Company, and called | the Cletrac.Agricultural estimates m C.P.TREVELYAN, heir to \u2022 baronetcy and owner of 14,000 acres, is Minister of Education in Britain\u2019s first Labor cabinet.He held an under-secretaryship in the Asquith ministry, but resigned at MEXICAN REBEL FORCES WERE BADLY BEATEN Victory for President Obregon\u2019s Troops After Five Days of Fighting.Separatists demanding that they | evacuate the city by five o\u2019clock ;
