Feb.
24:
Hostilities
between
China
and
Japan
had
repercussions
in
the
House
of
Commons
recently,
eventually
leading
to
the
first
division
of
the
session.
Colonel
J.
L.
Ralston,
former
Min
ister
of
National
Defence,
ran
foul
of
Parliamentary
rules
when
he
en
deavored
to
precipitate
a
dlecus-
lon
of
the
proposal
of
officers
and
nen
of
the
Royal
Canadian
Air
force
to
organise
flying
units
for
China.
Mr.
Sneaker
George
Black
ruled
this
was
"not
of
urgent
public
Im
portance"
which
was
necessary
tefore
the
subject
could
be
discus
sed
In
the
House
and
was
upheld
in
his
Judgment
72
to
47.
Colonel
Ralston
sought
from
tne
Prime
Minister
a
legal
opinion

In
March,
could

In

Earlier
In
the
week
an
offer
was
made
to
the
Chinese
Consul-Oeneral
In
Canada
of
two
fighting
unlta,
equipped
and
manned
for
one
year
at
$9,000,000.
The
offer
from
the
wen
was
made,
of
course,
with
out
the
knowledge
or
consent
of
the
government.
The
Prime
Minister
read
from
tne
Foreign
Enlistments
Act,
which
sets
out
fines
and
Imprisonment
for
any
nn
who
accepts
"any
commission
or

in

military
or
naval
services
of

with

friendly

Canada.
"Is

Chinese
nation
at
war
with
the
Japanese
In
the
terms
of
the
Foreign
Enlistments
Act?"
asked
Colonel
Ralston.
Withholds
Opinion
The
Prime
Minister
refused
to
express
an
opinion.
"Doubtless
The
Hague
tribunal
might
be
able
to
offer
an
opinion
that
might
be
authoritative."
he
added.
At
another
point
In
the
debate
Mr.
Dennett
said
the
government
had
received
from
the
Canadian
trade
commissioners
In
Shanghai
a
cablegram
saying
there
was
"ab-Kflutely
no

of

In
speaking
of
the
location
ot
such
a
line
among
other
things
this
article
says:
"It
would
be
little
short
of
a
crime
to
place
a
permanent
embargo
on
all
western
shipments
from
the
Peace

country,
especially
at
a
Ume
when
people
are
looking
tor
the
most
economical
way
of
carrying
on
the
business
of
the
country
and
enabling
the
farmers
to
compete
with
grain
grow
ers
In
other
countries
to
the
best
advantage.
The
interests
ot
the
grain
growers
should
be
paramount.
Any
line
that
Is
built
should
be
for
the
purpose
ot
serving
them
and
not
to
the
advantage
ot
any
parti
cular
port
or
district."
With
the
above
sentiments
the
"Newt"
is
entirely
In
accord.
One
of
the
greatest
obstacles
for

country
to

Is
an

ot

among

as

We

advocating

We

they
are

In
the

season
.
highways
can
never
take
the
place
ot

This
point
must
be
conceded.
Then
let
us
all
unite
on
one
project
and
keep
at
It.
Cities
like
Vancouver
