Not Likely Be Reached on Contentious Measure Today\u2014Centralized Control of Empire Production Feared by Liberal Leader as Result of Marketing Bill.Ottawa, May 22.\u2014Free from party control, members of the House of Commons will today express their views on the desirability of legalized sweenstakes in Canada.The House will turn from its long argument over the marketing bill to debate the bill sent down from the Senate which would authorize sweepstakes for the aid of hospitals conducted under regulations to be laid down by the Attorney-General of the province concerned.A similar bill passed the Senate last year, but the House of Commons rejected.it with scant ceremony.This year Prime Minister R.R.Bennett has announced the Government will take a neutral attitude and leave its supporters free to vote for or against the proposal as they see fit.There is no assurance a vote will be reached today, as the number of members who want to speak may be large, but when a vote does come it is certain to cut across party lines.So far most of the demand for sweepstakes appears to have come from Quebec and British Columbia, and members from those provinces will likely be prominent among those supporting the bill.Another measure of the same sort is before the House for second reading on the motion of Pierre Casgrain, Liberal, Charlevoix-Saguenay.It, however, would permit sweeps to be held for any public charitable or educational purpose.The Marketing Bill moved slowly#- in committee of the whole yesterday.PRAISES ODDFELLOWS WORK TOWARDS PROMOTING PEACE Prime Minister Bennett

Year.DOMINION TO MAINTAIN DIRECT RELIEF PAYMENT The long discussion over individual clauses was enlivened when Hon.Mackenzie King, Liberal leader, charged the bill was part of a plan to centralize the control of production and marketing for the whole Empire in the hands of a few men in London.The fact other parts of the Empire had enacted or were enacting similar measures, coupled with an evident tendency to the United Kingdom to discuss marketing on jin Empire-wide basis, was regarded By Mr.King as significant.He raised strong objection to those clauses of the bill which would permit tfie Minister to recommend the institution of a marketing scheme where the producers did not ask for one and which would authorize the Government to prohibit the import or export of commodities regulated under the bill.Premier Bennett told the House at the opening, replying orally to a query of Hon.W.D.Euler, Liberal, North Waterloo, that the Government of Canada was discharged from any liability as a guarantor of Beauharnois Corporation bonds and that when the bonds were being sold he had asked the banks to add to the sale price sufficient money to STUDENTS DEFY POLICE THREAT IN YUGOSLAVIA Six

22.\u2014President Roosevelt recommended to the United States Congress today that it declare American policy to be \u201cto increase the amount of silver in our monetary stocks with the ultimate objective of having and maintaining cne-fourth of their monetary value in silver and three-fourths in gold.\u201d The policy would be made mandatory.The President, in fulfilment of his agreement with Congressional silver advocates, said he should be \u201cauthorized and directed to make the purchases of silver necessary to attain this ultimate objective.\u201d Payments for present silver holdings in the United States would be limited to fifty cents an ounce, and profits so made would be taxed fifty per cent.Pointing to a world wide bi-metal- 1 lie agreement as the ultimate solution of the silver problem, Mr.Roosevelt revealed to Congress that he has already begun negotiations with neighboring countries \u201cin regard to the use of both silver and gold, preferably on a co-ordinated basis, as a standard of monetary value.\u201d The message also asked authority to take over \u201cpresent surpluses of silver in this country not required for industrial uses on payment of just compensation, and to regulate imports, exports and other dealings in monetary silver.\u201d Mr.Roosevelt proposed a tax of \u201cat least fifty per cent, on the profits accruing from dealing in silver.\u201d The legislation to carry out the presidential proposal was ready for introduction and swift passage was believed in prospect as a result of the understanding among the western silver advocates.STEPS IN FRONT OF ALD.BLAIS\u2019 RESIDENCE PROVOKE DISCUSSION Quebec, May 22.\u2014Provisions of the 1933 agreement for Dominion Government contribution to direct relief in the Province of Quebec will be extended by Order-in-Council to cover April and May, 1934, according to a telegram received yesterday by Premier L.A.Taschereau from Hon.W.A.Gordon, Dominion Minister of Labor.Since March, the Provincial Government and the municipalities had been providing the entire amount for relief themselves-.Mr.Gordon said it had been hoped with the expiry of the 1933 agreement the need for Dominion Government contribution would have disappeared.At the request of the Quebec Government, it was, however, being extended.Hope was expressed by the Minister of Labor that during April and May direct relief expenditures were being materially reduced and the province was urged to see that accounts were forwarded promptly.H.Gundy, Instrumental in Organizing of Canada Power and Paper Company,
