Factory officials still claim that

Efforts were made yesterday af-

which it was stated that some OF
the demands made by the en-

word OF any change in the attitude
of the employees.

Hackett was not in the chamber.
Senator Bergin spoke briefly, and
said the nomination had the unan-

Senator M. Sanford Osborne,

Hackett is in the insurance bus

tax matters since he came to the

held several important chairman

goods and services they can not ex-

The government was convinced.
Chamberlain said, that the first
objective of the world economic
conference should be to raise and
maintain world prices. He
warned that this could not be ac-
complished by monetary action
alone, improvements could be ia
cilitated most rapidly, he said, by
regulation and planning of world
production through agreements
among producers.
To-days session Of the house Of
commons was its last until June
16, and opposition members were
determined to demand information
on the governments Intentions
during the next two weeks, which
may become historic.
Cham berlain. as chief finance
officer Of the government, replied
to the labor party attack.
His speech was one that showed
plainly the determination of the
government to pursue a fight for
what 1t regards as its rights with
out compromise.
1t served at the same time to
emphasize the governments inten-
ton to delay decision on the war
debt, and to emphasize a division
in the government itself as to what
that decision should be.
News came as Chamberlain
spoke that Prime Minister Ram
say Macdonald would curtail his
Whitsunday holiday at his home at
Lossiemouth. Scotland, and fly to
London to work.
1t is understood that Macdonald
himself is inclined toward making
at least a partial payment on the
instalment, perhaps calling it not
an interest payment but one on
the capital sum of the debt.
Chamberlain leads the faction OF
the cabinet favoring default.

Chamberlain, to take any risk OF
saying anything that might, how
ever, inadvertently, prejudice our
chance of a satisfactory solution
of this very delicate question.
"But I think we should do well
to assume that our difficulties are
fully appreciated by the American
