Guardsmen Returning From War Maneuvers
'Dionne Quintuplets Started Discussion
Protestant Minister Catholic Editor Discuss Various
 Phases of Religion and Politics in Canada

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 2S-- (UP)-The Dionne quintuplets are to many English h-speaking Cana dians the symbol of a great fear, the Rev. c. E. Silcox, secretary of the social service council of Cam ada, told the Williamstown Insti- tute of human relations today.
 Rev. Silcox and Henry Somer- vile, editor of the Catholic regis ter of Toronto, presented the Pro- testant and Catholic viewpoints on racial and religious situation in the dominion.
 Canada inherited the ancient struggle between new France and New England" the Canadian clergy said, "she became bilingual, she had to develop a dual system of civil law and she had to ccmprom- ise with the public school system.
 Population Consolidated
 "Such success as has been at- tained has been possible in part be- cause the French Canadian popu- lation was largely consolidated in the province of Quebec, but is not thus entirely consolidated, and large numbers of French Canad- fans have settled in New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, the western provinces and in Ontario"
 He said the French have pene- trated into the new mining towns of New ontario, "where silent struggle is going on by bothethnic groups to dominate the area"
 "Behind the whole problem, too," he continued, lis the extraor- dinary fecundity of the French Canadian and the suspicion that the French are deliberately trying to outbreed the English.
 an interesting biological phenom- enon, are to many English-speak- ing Canadians the symbol of a great fear"
 Catholics Suffer
 Somerville said that in Toronto and throughout most of ontario the typical Catholic would say that the Protestant majority is bigotedly anti-Catholic and that Catholics suffer unjust treatment.
 "If you asked for particulars oi the alleged injustice, the Catholic might refer to the grievances o1 Catholic school as compared with the non-Catholic public schools and he would probably refer also te the exclusion of Catholics from job' in important municipalities like Toronto" he said.
 q myself think that our schools are treated unjustly in Ontario but as they are treated with equa injustice in England and witf worse injustice in the United States I would not make 1t . ground fol accusing the Protestant majority O bigotry or deliberate unfairness.
 "In my view the lesson that Can ada has to teach is that religious differences give very little trouble to . nation."
 Antagonism Diminishing
 Somerville pointed out that the manifestations of antagonism have been entirely in the political field, and has been diminishing with

"the growth of common Canad- ianism."
 He said the English-speaking Catholics of Canada, sympathizing with the French in religion but in secular matters aligned with the Protestants, held mediating posi- ton.
 If the racial lines of division in Canada were always the same as the religious lines. would have little confidence in the national unity, but as things are the religi- ous differences are a nationally unifying factor" he said.
 pr. Frederick A. Wilmot, religi- ous editor of the Providence tR. I.) Journal urged that the Amer ican press Undergo Q self-imposed change of emphasis on news values similar to that undertaken by the moving picture industry in the in- terests of decency and to deprive crime of its glamor."
 He said every newspaper should have an editor of religion who by temperament and training Is both minister and newspaper man.

TO STOP FUTURE
 FILIBUSTERS

Washington, Aug. 2s.--(UP).- Senate Democratic Leader Joseph T. Robinson today proposed a far reaching change of senate rules intended to prevent fiilibusters such as that conducted by Sen. Huey P. Long at the close of con- gress this week.
 Robinson said he would propose his amendment to senate rules at the opening of the 1886 session of congress in an effort to end ex- hibitions such as Longs, which he said had "disgusted the senate and the country" Such a limitation of a senator's right to speak at any length on any subject would re- verse a policy honored in the sen- ate since its inception and jealous ly guarded despite it's frequent in- terruption, with the orderly con- duct of senate business.

said today, the city is rushing the work Of completing the new conduit ahead as rapidly as possible.
 Ordinarily trolley cars on the Naugatnuck and New Ha- ven run go down South Main street from Exchange place. Now they must retrace part of Bank street on the right. hand track, then switch over to the left.hand track and pro. ceed against auto traffic and finally make a left turn at Bank and Grand streets that Is difficult for the trolleys and which causes numbcrless traf. flc tle.ups.
 The work on the Great Brook conduit at the present time is located between Jeffer. son and Scovill streets.
