Toronto has reacted strongly against or. King. On that there can be no question. Toronto loyalists Are against King personally against All that he stands for against his record As advocate of Canadian nationhood. Loyal Toronto senses intuitively that Quebec will support the government and there is a marked tendency to Rush the other end of the Teeter totter. It will be surprising if this ele ment which will strongly support the National government policy will not demand definite pledges on conscription and so on. But Rural Ontario is another mat Ter. It must not be forgotten that the . Was born largely As a Rural protest to the extreme loyalist policies of the last War that Ontario Farmers came to Ottawa in 1918 to complain against the conscription of farm boys. It is equally True however that Rural operating so As to avoid setting off the burglar alarms the cracks men who broke into the Tivoli theatre Maryland Street through the Coal Chute escaped with at the .Io theatre notre Dame Avenue thieves stole from the Safe.

He also asked sup port in securing debt adjustment legislation for Manitoba As enjoyed by Western provinces. In going to Ottawa or. Bracken said he had two Points chiefly in mind. The first was to secure for agriculture a fair Price for products comparable to the prices Farmers have to pay and the second was to help organize agriculture to meet its Post War adjustment problems.

Bracken said he understood the report of the Royal commission on Dominion provincial relations would be available shortly. The commission s findings Are waited Rith keen interest by the Manitoba government in possible fiscal adjustments resulting a of it on the question of debt adjust ment the Federal election will delay Federal action to restore the farm ers creditors arrangement act Loi Manitoba and the provincial will consider whether action will be taken provincially to provide debt Protection. Item in a Telegram sent to the Cabinet wheat committee at Ottawa advocates an interim payment by the Canadian wheat Board be fore seeding. The Telegram was despatched by r. S. Law president following a meeting or the Board of directors last week. It reads As follows the Board of directors of United Grain grow ers limited desires to urge that the Canadian wheat Board be authorized to make a further distribution before seeding to Western wheat producers who have delivered wheat to the Board and that this should not be delayed until the whole wheat crop of 1939 has been sold. Such a payment if made in sufficient time before Spring Woik opens will materially assist in enabling Western agriculture to con tribute its maximum strength to National production during 1940. We would ask that such a pay ment be As Large As possible in View of All existing circumstances and feel that an interim payment of not less than ten cents per Bushel would be justified with due consideration t o the lower grades of wheat on which a larger payment May Well be country marketing wheat coarse grains wheat coarse grains saturday y. 2661000 or.
