reading of the unemployment relief bill was passed yesterday in the House by an almost record majority of 52, the vote for the measure being 115 and that against, 63.Five independent members voted with the Opposition, including J.S.Woodsworth, Winnipeg North Centre; A.A.Heaps, Winnipeg North; Angus Maclnnis, Vancouver South; Humphrey Mitchell, East Hamilton, and Miss Macphail, Southeast Grey.A warning that- short shrift would be given to the malingerer and the assertion that there was an agitation in Canada encouraging people not to do any useful work came from the Minister of Labor during committee diseussion of the relief bill.Mr.Gordon said: \u201cLet me say that as these matters arise I am aware that there is an acute situation here and there will continue to be in Canada.But I cannot too strongly urge that there is an agitation\u2014I do not know how great it is .in this country to absolutely refuse to do any useful work.Some people seem to have made it their objective in life to wreck everything and the refusal to oo anything is one method of_ accomplishing that end.That is a difficult class of people to handle.Fortunately I believe it is a very there are many JAPAN

today with one western German state taking action which, it was thought in some quarters, may lead to the expulsion of all cask -, Jews within its borders.The legislative bodies of both the German Reich and its greatest unit, Prussia, have been indefinitely suspended.The signature of President Paul Von Hindenburg to the decrees which Hitler may desire to enact is no longer necessary as a result of the Reichstag\u2019s action yesterday in granting absolute power to the Chancellor.The Hitler Gove.nment\u2019s commissioner in Palatinate, a state lying between the Rhine and the French frontier, has ordered that no bank or postal funds be delivered to eastern Jews.The ban was invok d until all business obligations have been settled.Most of the eastern Jews in Palatinate emigrated there from Poland since 1914.An estimated two-fifths of the eastern Jewish population of Europe\u20143,506,000\u2014came under Polish domination after the war, and this total has decreased by nearly 1,000,000.A British inquiry commission reported 348 Jews killed and many more wounded in Poland in the first year after the war, and there have been many outbreaks since then in that country.New York, March 24.\u2014 Yosuke Matsuoka, head of the Japanese delegation to the League of Nations, arrived in the United States with five fellow delegates today and asserted that Japan was \u201cnot appealing to anyone, for it i« not a vassal state to America or any other nation.\u201d He also suggested that Japanese-American feeling might be improved if the United States would withdraw its fleet from the Pacific Ocean.He said he did not khow whether or not Japan intended to withdraw from the League of Nations.In answer to a specific question, he declared that Japan had no i\u2019/ten-tion of relinquishing the mandated islands whether or not it remained small class, but - .people in this country who are try- ln the League ing their utmost to improve their; position.If we were to lay down a

precipitated by the proposal of the Government to suspend payment of pensions to pensioners in its employ, war veterans awaited anxiously the outcome of the conference arranged for today between

between the veterans and either Mr.Rhodes or the Prime Minister.Hinging upon this meeting are the policies which the veterans propose to recommend to their various organizations in the light of the pronouncement of the Finance Minister in his speech last Tuesday.The situation was \u201cwell in hand,\u201d an official communique from the united veteraps\u2019 body assured the

that week.Passage of the bill amending the Public Charities Act, and passage of the Montreal Bill, amendments to the charter of the city were the Assembly\u2019s most important activities

Wednesday Next.Dublin, Irish Free State, March 24.\u2014The Irish Free state today was considerably excited at the prospect the Government might be defeated next Wednesday by defection of its Labor allies, six weeks after taking office and little more than two months after tie January general election.William Norton.Labor leader in the Dail Eireann, last night moved to reject the Government plan to pay workers on unemployment relief projects twenty-four shillings, about $5 in Canadian money, weekly.Division on the measure was expected next Wednesday.With all parties at full strength the Government will be able to withstand a concerted opposition vote to a majority of one, the speaker\u2019s -ote, but should its absentees out umber those of its opponents it will be defeated.There was no certainty, however, that the Government would make the matter a question of confidence.A possibility existed, also, that it might modify its plans to forestall opposition of the Laboritcs who normally vote with it.Montreal, March 24.\u2014Judge Cusson, concluding his two day preinquiry, yesterday afternoon refused to grant Joe Batula a warrant for the arrest of Constable Joseph Kappa, of the Montreal police force, for the killing of Nick Zynchuek, who succumbed to a bullet wound in the back on Monday, March 6, at a St.Dominique street eviction.The Judge declared that the constable was acting under riot conditions, and that if he had not fired he or another person would have suffered bodily7 harm.Because a section of the crowd rushed forward with intentions of doing violence, the judge said, the meeting became a riot.And according to the law governing riots, \u201ckilling one or more, there being no other way to suppress the riot,\u201d constitutes justified homicide on the part of a constable.For this reason, the judge'declared that he had no hesitation in refusing the warrant.The question as to whether Zyn-chuck had an iron bar in his hand or not when he rushed forward did not enter into the judge\u2019s reasoning in refusing the warrant.Zymchuck, he said, was one of a crowd of thirty or so who, at the same time, rushed forward, despite police orders.Some of them climbed on to the removal truck and began unloading furniture.Zappa and another constable, together with Bertrand, an assistant bailiff, found themselves assailed.A \u2022hair was broken across the other constable's back.Constable Zappa, finding his order to \u201cstand back\u201d disregarded.fired to escape bodily harm.YOUNGSTER ALREADY HAS A GOOD EDUCATION.Chicago, March 24.\u2014At two years

TAXPAYERS OF card have then EXPECT CUBAN CONGRESS TO APPROVE MORATORIUM At such a time, he France could not be expected to reduce her army, and, further, it would be dangerous to press France at the moment to disarm because of the effect on British obligations under the Locarno treaties.Responsibilities of Britain under the Iiocarno treaties, ho declared, wore limited by safeguards.But, he added, if Britain encouraged France to disarm and encouraged Germany to arm, those safeguards would disappear.If France followed British advice, and disarmed, then the obligations of the United Kingdom under

with hope and confidence\u2014and practically with a taxless Budget.Barring the imposition of a teft per cent, surtax on succession duties, there wasn\u2019t a new tax in the Budget which Premier S.Henry yesterday tables' in the Legislature.Here, briefly, is the province's financial standing: Estimated ordinary revenue for 1933, $50,333,000.Estimated ordinary expenditure, $53,285,000.Estimated deficit, $2,952,000.The annonucement came towards the end of the Budget speech.Quiet' I*-, the Premier looked at his followers on the Conservative benches.Then : \u201cI say the deficit is justified and I\u2019m pleased to announce we have no new taxes.We feel it is fitting in some years when things are more prosperous than they are today we will pay these deficits in short loans rather than seek to collect from our people at the present time, living as so many of them are under most trying circumstances.\u201cConsequently I do not feel I have to apologize for not bringing down any taxes, except we propose to impose on the succession duties a surtax of ten per cent, to continue only so long as these present conditions maintain.\u201d Ordinary expenditure is expected to l>e slashed by $3,174,000.The total estimated is $.>3,285,000 a- compared with $66,459,000 in 1932.Excluding debt charges, a decrease in expenditure is estimated at $o,-891,000.Special expenditures arc shown to be decreased $312,000.The statement points out certain items which have been paid, but will not again have to be met.They include $357,000 refunded in fines to the City of Toronto; adjustment ot 1931 old age pensions amounting to $567,000; direct unemployment relief $808,000 and exchange on United States funds $1,130,000.BRITISH PAPER ATTACKS POUND STABILIZATION London Labor Organ Sees Britain and

Lithuania, Bulgaria, Sweden and : Austria.\t| The House of Commons was jammed for the occasion as the Prime Minister spoke of the peace pact be-j tween the four great powers of west- | ern E-rope\u2014Britain, France, Italy I and Germany\u2014 which was the lead-1 ing proposal emerging from the talks.Opening debate on foreign affairs, the Prime Minister was greeted with loud cheers from the Government benches as he declared his colleagues had asked himself and Sir John Simon, Foreign secretary, to go to Geneva because reports showed grave oanger of an immediate collapse of the Disarmament Conference.They found the Conference had somewhat lost itself \u201con details,\u201d he said.The object he and Sir John had, he explained, was to assist the whole Conference by producing a plan which would cover the whole field.M'hen the Conference resumes tomorrow it would be, he hoped, on figures contained in this plan.Dealing with Germany, the Prime Minister said the powers were pledged to give her equality.\"The time has gone by,\u201d he said, \u201cwhen by a combination of any European powers any European people can be kept bound by obligations which it regards as being inconsistent with self-respect and with its honor.\u201d The Mussolini plan, Prime Minister MacDonalc said, essentially provided for collaboration between the four great powers who were permanent members of the League of Nations, and that the proposed collaboration should be carried out within the framework of the League with ten ; ears indicated as the first period of the proposed treaty.The essence of the plan was maintenance of peace in the spirit of the Kellogg Pact and with the declaration that no power should resort to force in an effort to solve political difficulties.Linked with the maintenance of peace was the question of revision of treaties.Mussolini\u2019s view was that whilst the Covenant of the League enforced respect for treaty obligations, it also contemplated possibility of revision when conditions arise that might lead to conflict.\u201cEvery treaty,' Prime Minister MacDonald observed to the House, \u201cit holy, but no treaty is eternal.\u201d Coaticook, March 24.\u2014Prominent Home, March 24.\u2014Premier Benito citizens of Coaticook, regardless of !

and there is every reason to believe that the expense will be very light, as it is ascertained that the cost of conveyance to any point on the contemplated line of communication, which is at present accessible, will not exceed one-fourth of the rates now paid.\u201d There follows a detailed description of each step in the projected land and water route, with comments on the economic possibilities of the different sections.The report closes as follows: \u201cIt is difficult to estimate the Social and Personal THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY From the Files of the Sherbrooke Record.March 24th, 1503.was given at St.George\u2019s Church.\u201cIt\u2019s an ill wind that blows nobody good.\u201d There are two sides to every question and this holds true for the problem created through the tax placed on sugar in the budget delivered this -week in Parliament by Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Minister of Finance.This tax provides another burden for the Canadian homes to face, but at the present time some storekeepers are making hay while the sun shines.The tax on this commodity came as a surpirse to everyone and found many people unprepared.There were the dealers whose stock of sugar was almost complete and there were the housekeepers who were on their last ten pounds.These dealers who had plenty of sugar on hand will realize considerable profit for their foresight, while the home \u201ceconomist\u201d bewails the fact that her stock was so low when the budget arrived.The two-cent per pound increase in the price of sugar went into effect in most grocery stores Wednesday morning.Some grocers even raised their prices Tuesday evening as soon as the Record revealed the new excise taxes in Tuesda\u2019y afternoon\u2019s second edition.Wary husbands noted the changes in Tuesday\u2019s late edition of the Record, bought a quantity much in excess of immediate needs and even used their own automobiles to make sure that the family grocer would not increase his prices.Then there were the cases of the house wives who acted too late.Early Wednesday morning they telephoned the grocer and were quoted pre-budget prices.A few hours later, before delivery was made, they were appraised that the tax had been imposed.Several local companies that will suffer considerably from the effect of the new tax bought considerable sugar this week, according to well founded reports and certain stores in the city even went so far as to call their best customers by telephone and suggest that they would do well to buy a lot of sugar right away.Those who took their favored grocer\u2019s advice have been congratulating themselves ever since Tuesday; and those who did not have been either regretting that they missed the chance or hoping that the sugar purchased by their friends would turn bad or something.Sugar at retail was generally quoted at 7 cents per pound in Sherbrooke today, or at 69 cents per 10-pound bag, which prices compare with an average of 4% cents per pound, or 4.3 cents for 10 pounds, prevailing before the budget was brought down, with its provision for an excise duty of 2 cents a pound.Refiners yesterday quoted sugar to the wholesale trade at $4.40 per 100-pound bag, less 5 per cent, plus $2 per 100-pound, excise, plus, if delivered, 5 cents a bag for cartage, or a net of $6.23.Wholesalers quoted sugar to the retail trade at $6.35 per 100-pound bag, and the retailer announced a price of 7 cents a pound to the consumer, Last week, it may be noted, refiners advanced prices 10 cents per 100 pounds.The wholesale trade which had been quoting a rate of $4.25 raised its price accordingly to $4.35, and the present wholesale rate represents the latter level, plus the $2 excise.Wholesalers and retailers with stocks on hand stand to benefit to the extent of the increase in price, representing excise, over the price which they paid refiners for such stocks.FLORIDA i.ESIDENT HELD ON EXTORTION CHARGES Mr.and Mrs.William McManamy are in Atlantic City, N.J., guests at Chalfonte-Haddon Hall.\u2022 \u2022 * Congratulations are today being extended to Mr.Walter Mutchler, who is observing his birthday.\u2022 * \u2022 The friends of Mr.Fred.Humphrey, of'Eustis, will regret to hear that he is a patient in the Sherbrooke Hospital.» * * Dr.S.J.Usher, of Montreal, will spend the week-end in Sherbrooke a guest of Mr.and Mrs.M.Echenberg, Prospect street.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 Mr.George W.Murphy, London street, returned last night from Montreal, where he was a guest at the Windsor Hotel.* * \u2022 Mr.and Mrs.H.Bruce Fletcher returned last night from Montreal, where they were guests for a few days at the Mount Royal Hotel.* * « Mrs.R.W.Reid, Walton avenue,! left today for Montreal en route for;
