(CP)
Continuance
of
the
Social
Credit
government
of
Premier
WUIiam
Aberhart
in
Alberta
will
mean
dictatorship,
John
Hugill,
former
attorney
general
for
Mr.
Abfr-'
hart,
declared
yesterday.
HugUI
charged
that
a
system
of
espion-'
age
was
being
fostered
and
developed
by
the
government
and
that
reports
on
government
officials
were
made
to
the
Premier
frequently
by
spies.
Aberhart's
Latest
Move
Premier
Aberhart
announced
last
night
that
three
orders-in-council
had
been
passed
by
the
government
designed
to
prevent
the
courts
from
interfering
with
provincial
legislation.
The
or-dei-in-council,
aimed
to
prevent
test
courtaction,
would
achieve
the
same
results
as
recent
legislation,
including
the
bank
acts,
which
were
disallowed
by
the
Dominion
government.
These
la
test
orders-in-council
cannot
be
vetoed
by
the
federal
authorities,
it
is
claimed.
