WARNS

OTTAWA
Minister

Douglas
Abbott,
speaking
last
night,
warned
business,
in
its
own
interests,
to
keep
prices
down
and
profits
within
reason.
To
try
to
"make
a
killing"
now
was
"unwise
and
poor
business."
It
was
unconstitutional
to
control
prices
in
peacetime,
Mr.
Abbott
said.

conclusion
because

would
never
bow

Dr.
Shields
claimed
that
many
departments
of
government
were
"loaded
with
Roman
.Catholics
who,
If
there
were
civil
strife,
would
rise
up
as

front."
He
charged
that
the
Vatican
had
instigated
the
last
two
wars
and
that
It
was
again
trying
"to
force
war
on
Britain,
France
and
the
United
States."

Dr.
Shields
