Federation president. began drive for
a five-day week and six-hour day and
unemployment insurance.

be strengthened and supplied with

fort to secure relief funds.

exercise all power at their command to
raise funds to appropriate city funds
for the relief Of the unemployed

draw upon the resources of the State
and through their taxing and borrowing
power supplement the work of local re-
lief agencies and city governments.

its part. While the relief bill passed by
Congress will serve in very large way.
the Executive Council is of the opinion
1t does not represent the full service
which the Federal Government must
render in the trying situation which all
familiar with the facts know must arise
when cold weather comes.
IS. The call of the hour is for CO.
operation and assistance on the part Of
all groups and all individual citizens

APPOINTMENT of Thomas and
Runciman Pleasing to
u. S. Observers.
BOTH OPPOSE THREAT
OF HIGHER LIVING COSTS
Trade Union Discriminating
Against This Country Would
Hike Prices in Britain.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA. Ontario, July 23.-Ap-
pointment of Walter Runciman and
J. H. Thomas as Great Britain's men,
bers of the Important Committee on
Commercial Relations with foreign
countries was heard with satisfaction
today by American observers at the
British Imperial Economic Conference.
Runciman and Thomas are members
of Liberal and Labor parties, respec-
lively. in England, and because OF their
Affiliations are expected to oppose any
move by the conference, which would
result in high food costs to British
consumers.
Runciman is president of the board
OF trade; Thomas is Dominions secre-
tary in the cabinet
1t has been the impression here ever
since Premier Bennett said Canada
would expect preferential treatment of
exports to the United Kingdom in re-
turn for tariff readjustment on I'M,
ports from there that he contemplated
asking the British to raise import bar
riers against non-Empire countries be
guaranteed markets.
U. S. Fears Lessened.
That. it was argued, could mean
nothing less than discrimination against
United States and Argentine wheat
and meat and implied higher costs to
British consumers.
Mrs. Runciman, prior to her hus-
bands appointment to committee, eIec-
trified conference delegates by saying
in press interview that the EngllSn
people would not agree to any move
for an Empire trade union, which
would result in higher costs OF living.
She was believed to reflect the opinion
of her husband and his party.
In that light the presence OF Runcl-
man and Thomas on the one commit
tee of the conference which would be-
come a natural bridge between 1t and
the proposed World Economic Confer
ence suggests the British may predi-
cate empire economic rehabilitation on
the elimination of trade restrictions
between empire nations rather than
on a higher tariff wall against other
exporting countries.

all the raw materials of the dominions
nor can they absorb all the industrial
products of Great Britain. Each must

He, as we'll as the Canadian men,

from non-empire nations.
