clllD|ln PARLIAMENT
c0AV[HEs TO-DAY


OTTAWA. April 19-The OUT
standing feature of the session OF the
Dominion parliament which opened
this afternoon. will be the annual
budget statement presented by Sir
Thomas White, minister OF finance
Sir George Foster. who opened the
session. is acting premier during the
absence OF Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Bor-
den at the imperial war conference
! LII London.
The budget will show that Cana
dat trade the past twelve months
has been we'll over the two billion
dollar mark, for the first time in
history. Ii will also evidence the
Dominion's wonderful war vitality:
for the balance Of trade in her ia
| vor during the fiscal year will be
shown to be in the neighborhood of
s35o. 600. eoo-a sum almost equal
| to the years war expenditure which
| has averaged somewhat over one mill
| lion dollars a day.
1t is regarded as unlikely that
There will be any considerable
changes in tariff. but it is probable
that an additional irupost will be
placed upon munition makers. In
addition. there may be q fresh levy
upon race tracks and other amuse-
ments as a war measure, although
it is almost certain that the Will
cox bill to prohibit racing will be
dropped.
Mex legislation will. ii is under
stood. include provision for return
ed soldiers The details OF this are
|still sub rosa. but will probably in
cIude federal schemes for vocational
training and the settlement of such
as desire upon the land under sys
tenn which will provide the necessary
capital for the development of the
grants made.
A scheme for assisting in the rap
i'd development Of Canada's ship
building Industry viii also be
brought before the house. 1t may
take the form of federal subsidy
or the relaxation of duty ON all ma
terial necessary for the construction
OF tonnage. Canada Is ideally sit
uated for the construction Of yes-
seis both of wood and steel and
plans are to be laid for the perpet
uating and extension of this indus
try. At the present time contracts
amounting to over sixty million dol
lars have been placed in Canadian
yards, including British govern
ment order amounting to s25. 90o.- |
600.
A further debate on the Ross ri |
fle. the original arm of the Cana |
dian espeditionary force. is assured. /
and it is foregone conclusion that |
Lieutenant General Sir Sam Hughes, |
former minister OF militia. will be
.Johnny-on-th e-spot" in the defense
OF his fayorite arm This will prob |
ably prove one Of the warsnest de- |
bates of the session.
The opposition is likely to intro |
duye the Justice Gait report censur
ing Hon. Robert Rogers, minister
of public works, and may even go so |
far az to demand his removal
Railway legislation viii be intro
dnced for the purpose OF consolidat-
ing the canadian railway act.

WOULD FEED GERMANS
American "Humanitarians'' Attack
Embargo Policy of the President.

Washington. July 11-President
Wilson is torn between two groups of
advisers in shaping the embargo pol
icy Certain persons, under the guise
of a sentimental humanitarianism,
have urged upon the president that
this country should permit enough
food to get into Germany thru the
neutraIs to feed innocent German
women and children; the German
people with whom the president him
self has declared we have no quarrel
Men of-the practical humanitarian
ism which fed the Belgians, Herbert
Hoover and the men who worked with
him then have shown him the folly of
such a policy.
The German people are prepared,
the president has been told, to make
any sacrifice The German govern
ment is seeing to it first that its SOL
diers in the field are fed and fed well.
1t was apparent that the policy of
strict embargo would prevail against
the neutrals adjacent to Germany
