His personal detachment from the Quebec provincial election campaign was affirmed today by Right Hon. Mackenzie King. He is taking no part," directly or indirectly." "While passing through the city of Quebec on July the tenth," Mr. King said, "the press inquired as to whether I would participate in the provincial elections in Quebec. I staled, at the time, that ever I had become leader of the Libcial party I had not intervened in US provincial election; that in particular, as in many others.

followed the example of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. I recalled that in Sir WU- jfrid's day members of his govern ment usually confined their partici pation in provincial elections to the provinces with which they were associated and did not, as a rule, intervene in provincial campaigns in other provinces. I said further that in participating in provincial campaigns, federal ministers were doing so as citizens of their own provinces interested, like others, in the affairs of their own provinces. Their action should not. however, be construed as implying federal participation.

"The following paragraph from the account of the interview to which I have referred, which appeared in The Quebec Chronicle Telegraph of July the tenth, will confirm the statement I am now making. It will also make apparent what my attitude has been throughout: "'Asked as to whether he would take an active interest in the Quebec provincial elections of August seventeenth next, the Prime Minister stated that ever since he had been at the head of the government he had made it his policy not to take part in provincial election -'As a minister I formerly took part in one or two provincial campaigns in Ontario: but I am the representative of Prince Albert and I have never participated in Saskat chewan -'Asked by one of the reporters whether this rule would be observed by his ministers. Mr. King said that the members of his cabinet were naturally free to take part in provincial elections, if they so desired. It was well known custom for ministers to participate in campaigns in their own "This, in a word, is my position at the present time and the position which I have always held.

I have taken no part whatever in the present provincial campaign in Quebec, and have no intention of so doing, either directly or indirectly."

Matthews, chairman, told The Citizen that while the project was discussed from various angles it did not come within trie purview of the Federal District Commission as the charter for this body set forth its duties as being exclusively for the beautifl cation of Ottawa and its environs. Mr. Matthews stated that a test of the water In the lake had been made by an official of the Ontario government and that It had been found unsatisfactory for bathing.

The Federal District Com-i mission decided this morning Mo recommend to the National Employment Committee that itwo work projects which will i'cost approximately $600,000 be instituted here for the relief of unemployment. The first project, which will cost i approximately $500,000. is the widening and improvement of Sussex 'street, between Dalhoiisie street and ahe gates of Rideau Hall, including erection of a wide low-level bridge which will replace the two i existing Sussex street bridges. The second project is the improvement of Federal District Com- mission property on the east side of the Rideau river between the St.

Patrick street and Minto bridges. This will cost nearly $100,000. To Provide Needed Jobs The commission's decision to recommend to the government that work be done as a project to relieve unemployment, particularly from a motion by Mayor Stanley Lewis, seconded by J. B. Spencer.

The improvement and widening of Sussex street between Dalhousie street and the Rideau Hall gates will be one that will be greatly appreciated bf practically every resident of the Capital, forming as 'it does a link between the Lady Grey Drive and Rookcliffe Park. Most of this section of the street is 'now laid out in cobble stones and i is decidedly out of keeping with the magnificent drives maintained by the Federal District Commission. The two Sussex street bridges also 'have long been considered quite -inadequate for the amount of traf- fic which this link in the Driveway system carries. i (Continued on Page 3, CoL 4) 1,000 Spanish Militiamen Executed Associated Prat Despatch.
