Two Disorders Not Serious, Says Quebec Officer QUEBEC. Nov. 24 (CP) Terming a group of 500 to 700 youChs who staged an anti-conscription demonstration here last night as "hotheads," Brig. Edmond Blais, officer commanding Military District No.

5 Lewis Is Opposed (From Page One) Stating that the letter said he was beaten by majority vote in previous campaigns, the Mayor said he had not been beaten. The Mayor referred to a clause, which he said was in the Pickering letter, in which he said Mr. Pickering asks the electors if they wanted the present Mayor to handle their finances as he would the $2,500,000 money bylaw. Continuing, he said, "in my nine years of office I have handled $50,000,000 has any of it been mishandled?" "No, no," some shouted. "At no time has your city been in a better position financially and physically," said the Mayor, "but I take no credit for it.

But if things were bad I'd be blamed for it." "I'm sorry, to say, I'm going to say something I've never said before in my municipal career," said the Mayor as he went into his attack on the Pickering letter. Answers One Question "Mr. Pickering asks ten questions in Ws letter I am answering No. 8, the one outlined in red and when he hears the answer he can throw the rest into the wastepaper basket." The question dealt with the origin of the city-government relations committee which Mr. Pickering, the Mayor claimed, said was set up in 1940 by City Council.

The intervening years in which no action was taken had cost the city hundreds of thousands of dollars, the letter was said to have charged. Mayor Lewis said no such motion was on the books of the City Council in 1940. "If there was any motion passed in 1940 I'll retire from the mayoralty campaign," he said. "My reputation is at stake and in every speech and every broadcast, I'm going to demand that this resolution be brought up. The motion in 1941 has no reference to one in 1942 which was a recommendation I brought in naming the Mayor, Con.

Bourque and Con. Pickering as members, and he (Mr. Pickering) asks "What did I do?" "If I haven't carried on in an honorable, trustworthy steadfast way, I don't deserve to be your mayor," the Mayor concluded. Pickering in Good Humor. Mr.

Pickering in his address, said it was "obvious the Mayor was mad" but he himself was still in good humor.

obligation to form at once an administration to carry on Canada's war effort." This flat statement by Mr. King indicates he and his government would immediately resign and that he would not seek dissolution of the 19th Parliament, to be followed by a general election at this time. Earlier, Mr. King put himself on record as to the grave danger, in his opinion, to Canada's war effort and to Canadian unity, now and for generations to come, of a general election on the conscription issue at this late stage of the war. C.C.F.

and S.C. Support There are strong reasons to suppose, however, that both the C.C.F. and Social Credit groups will support the government in its latest war policy. Indeed, it is known that M. J.

Coldwell, C.C.F. leader, would prefer to have the general election put off until after Germany is defeated, whenever that may be even if it is not accomplished by April 17, the date on which the constitutional five-year term of the current Parliament expires. Also John Blackmore, Social Credit leader, is on record in Parliament as having expressed the hope of that group that Mr. King would be Canada's representative at the peace conference after the war. Has Safe Majority However, even granting that as many as 40 Quebec Liberals will vote against the government, and supposing also that both the C.C.F.

and Social Credit groups voted against the government, along with, of course, the official Progressive Conservative opposition, the government, at this stage, would appear to be certain of a safe majority of between 20 and 25 votes. Incidentally, this margin approximates the majority which the Bennett Conservative government had during its term of office from 1930 to 1935. The Progressive Conservatives were in caucus today working out the precise form of the amendment which Gordon Graydon, opposition leader, indicated in the House yesterday would be moved to the Prime Minister's motion on the order paper asking the confidence of the House In the government's latest war policy. This amendment, Mr. Graydon stated, would call for of the candidates are women.

Miss M. E. Cowan, present trustee, and Mrs. Isabel Finlayson of 200 Car-ling avenue. For the first time In years, tha entire Public School Board must be re-elected.

This is due to a change from the old annual system of elections to the two-year term system in crder to bring their elections in line with the general civic elections. The five candidates who receive the greatest number of votes will be elected for a four-year term, while the four who receive a lesser number of votes will be elected for a two year term. This will mean that at the next civic election, two years hence, nominations will be held for four places on the board. The eight members re-nominated were A. J.

By J. A. Hume WUI Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King and his Liberal government be sustained by the House of Commons in the coming confidence motion on the government's latest limited conscription policy authorizing the sending of up to 16,000 draftees overseas for reinforcements, if required, between Dec.

1 and May next? That is the question which completely dominated the thinking and talk on Parliament Hill this morning. There was plenty of both, and, as well, there were all kinds of speculation and gossip thrown in. At this stage, it would look as if the government will be sustained by an adequate margin. The present party standing in the Commons embraces: Liberals, 165; Progressive Conservatives. 39 C.C.F..

10; Social Credit. 10; all others, 10; and vacancies, 11. Quebec Liberals Meet Quebec Liberals were in caucus this morning discussing their attitude, as a group, toward the government's latest policy. They were doing so in the light of the fact that Air Minister C. G.

Power was the only one of the six Quebec ministers to resign. Some reports were that as many as 40 Quebec Liberals, probably as followers of Hon. P. J. A.

Cardin, former minister of public works, might vote against the government. However, their position is a difficult one since, should their votes upset the King government, the alternative, It would appear, would have to be some sort of union government which would be committed to an even stlfler conscription policy. Ready to Make Way If his government is not sustained In the forthcoming vote, Prime Minister King made it abundantly clear Jn the Commons last night that government will immediately make way for those who are responsible for Its defeat: it will be their Daily Review From Page One) Prom the British drive against Venlo. says The Times, down to Strasbourg, the German armies are undoubtedly losing the mightiest bttle of all time a fact which must be apparent to every man and woman in Germany. Mines and mud are the chief obstacles facing the British, who are threatening both Venlo and Roermond in the present operations.

Persistently bad weather chokes our flying. On Gen. Pattons front the battle has swept well past Metz from some of whose forts trapped Nazis want only to shoot at passing vehicles. Flying bombs come over the 9th Army's front in increasing numbers, 62 having already been spotted. a It is notable that Goebbels' propaganda no longer boasts of the Joy of wpr and of the Germans as a superior race.

His latest effusion tells the German people that they don't really like war. and that they are not really superior to other nations. In fact, the whole world is now making a dead Ret at the poor innocent German people, he says. The Red Army. 1 inflicting heavy punishment on 'the Germans and the Hungarians in a protracted struggle for control of the approaches to Czechoslovakia from northeastern Hungary.

At the same time, more progress has been made along the Hatvan-Budapest highway. The battle here should settle the fate of Mtskolce and its communications. Once this center is capured, the whole German grip on Eastern Hungary should be loosened. Dealing with the future control of Empire communications. The Times parliamentary correspondent says that the Commonwealth Communications Council found that United States competition threatened British cables and wireless after the war.

This company, which controls ill Empir strategic cables, cannot for financial reasons meet such competition and so the Commonwealth Communications Council was asked to report on the problem. The Canadian government has already received and approved the council's report, which recommends that radio and cable interests throughout the Empire should pass into government ownership in the form rf public utility corporations, both tn Britain and the dominions. Thus, local sovereignty over communications would be safeguarded as the dominions desire. The Commonwealth Communications Council would be retained as an imperial clearing house, thus ensuring common imperial policy. Drought in Australia this season is creating calamitous conditions for the farmers.

The decline In the output of foodstuffs required for war purposes is great. The wheat area of New South Wales and Victoria is heavily stricken and there are big losses of stock owing to the absence of fodder. In Northern Victoria the season is the worst for 40 years. It is evident, says The Times, that the supply of food to Allied forces in the Pacific area will be reduced for many months to come. A.

the army's adjutant-general at Ottawa, stating the demonstration had been limited to singing, shouting and the display of signs, protesting against overseas conscription. Trivial Damage Brig. Blais' telegram said that "certain trivial damage such as broken windows occurred but by no means so far has any incident occurred beyond municipal authorities' control." The group, said to be made up of a majority of Laval University stu dents, pulled down bulletin boards from in front of the Quebec Chron icle Telegraph, a Conservative paper favoring conscription. The parade of youths ranging from 16 to 22 years marched to the St. John street army recruiting office but were prevented from forcing entry by a large detachment of the Quebec police force who had picked up their trail from the newspaper office in Upper Town.

Entry to Club Foiled An attempt to force the entry of the Liberal Reform Club was foiled as an army officer whose name was not made public by Brig. Blais told them they were "but a bunch of young fools." No arrests were reported by police after the demonstrators failed to obtain an interview with Premier Maurice Duplessis at the Union Nationale Renaissance Club on Grande Allee and later at the Chateau Frontenac. Before disbanding at Youville Square, the group was addressed by Marcellin Tremblay, president of the Students' Society of Laval' Uni versity, who said "we will never ac cept conscription for overseas ser vice. It is unfortunate that the government of Mackenzie King had not had a good policy toward French Canadian soldiers. If the Defence Department had placed the French Canadian soldiers in French-Canadian units there would have been many more voluntary enlistments Instead, they were placed in Eng lish-speaking units where they were badly treated." In his statement today, Brig.

Margaret Eaton of Toronto, officer commanding the C.W.A.C., declared the members of the khakl-sklrted corps had proven themselves valuable adjuncts to the advancing Canadian troops. Col.

Eaton said Canada's C.W. A.C.'s, stationed In Belgium, have been under fire and have stood up well to the other hazards and inconveniences to be found in the wake of war. "As a matter of fact," she said, "they all seem to be enjoying it."

I was a member ol the committee, for two years and no meetings were called." He said he had no knowledge of the letters with their informal salutations sent out in the last campaign until the election was over. He gave credit to the Mayor for sincerity but said he could not understand how the Mayor could feel successful business man of over 30 years' standing in Ottawa" was not qualified for the job as mayor. "He is fighting desperately to make my election impossible," said Mr." Pickering. "The last election was disastrous for me.

I made certain statements over the air which I later retracted. That's all I could do. I'll not make the same mistakes again." Phelan's Platform. Mr. Phelan, who said he was to be given leave of absence by the Civil Service Commission to enable him to devote the necessary time to the office of mayor, if elected, spoke on the following ten points: Leadership and appointment of committees to deal with postwar unemployment problems; detailed plans for bringing civic works up to date; the carrying out of the agreement with the Dominion government and negotiation of a new agreement; reduction of taxes on property to encourage building; the planning of a suitable civic war memorial; setting up of committees to advise council on provision of more playground space; energetic effort to bring new Industries to Ottawa; solution to the city's traffic problems with reasonable parking areas downtown; and a review of street railway systems, improved civic services such as garbage collection, and plans to meet postwar Job termination both in the civil service and without.

Following are the addresses given by the seven Board of Control candidates: P. E. Bedford. Percy E. Bedford urged the voters to turn down the proposed money bylaws.

He described this method of financing future postwar projects as "nothing more nor less than the old relief racket." The problem of re-establishment is the most serious one facing council, he said. S. L. Belaire. S.

Leonard Belaire said he felt like a veteran addressing this meeting although he had never been elected. But he said his sincerity was apparent by the fact that he had entered three campaigns. His sole reason for dropping from the mayoralty race a few days before nominations had been because he had been advised that many electors resented a man running for the high office of mayor witnout nrst serving in City Council, he said. S. T.

Checkland. Sydney T. Checkland said the city fathers should not take credit for paying off debentures. This could have been done if "Shirley Temple, Amos and Andy and Charlie McCarthy had been on the board," he said. Con.

E. A. Buurque. A brief review of the city's finances over the past eight years during which time he had been in office as controller was given by Con. E.

A. Bourque, seeking re-election. The city, he declared, held an enviable position amongst the cities of Canada due to "good, sane and honest administration." Con. Bourque also strongly urged the voters to support the money bylaws for post-war reconstruction. Con.

G. M. Geldert "Just think what a terrible thing it wouia De ii tne money bylaws were turned down by the voters" declared Con. Dr. G.

M. Geldert. "If this city is to keep faith with the boys on the battlefronts it must see to it that full employment awaits them on their return." he said. Dr. Geldert added that Ottawa was lucky to have the present body of men on its control board, "and I'm just one of the bunch.

I hope the people will see that the ship is kept on an even keel and that there will be no slips," he concluded. Con. G. W. Goodwin The engineering department was in a turmoil when he took over two the full provision of the National Resources Mobilization Act being invoked at ence and for the immediate despatch overseas of all trained darftees as reinforcements.

Unlikely to Aid P.C.'s It is difficult to see how the wavering Quebec Liberal members could vote for any Progressive Conservative amendment calling for full and immediate conscription, going much beyond the government's limited conscription policy. Even though the government, at long last, has come round to the introduction of overseas conscription even on a limited basis at the moment the Progressive Conservatives will, almost certainly, vote lack of confidence in the government on the main motion (presuming its own amendment is voted down in advance). Mr. Hanson's Idea Hon. R.

B. Hanson, former opposition leader, late last night in the House, gave plain intimation that the official opposition has lost confidence in Mr. King and would like to see in office another government, representative of all patriotic groups in Canada, committed to wage total war with full and immediate conscription for army overseas service. There is much guessing also as to how long the debate on the confidence motion will run. Many the divisions will come about Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, while a few others think the debate may run on for two weeks or more, as Mr.

King pointed out last night in the House all urgency as to reinforcements has been removed by Wednesday night's order- in-council authorizing the sending of 16,000 draftees overseas for reinforcement purposes, if required, commencing Dec. 1. Close Race Seen At P.C. Convention For Ottawa West A close contest between Norman B. MacRostle, civil engineer, and Frank H.

Plant, chairman of the Ottawa Hydro-Electric Power Commission, ex-mayor and unsuccessful Conservative candidate in 1930, is expected when the members of the Ottawa West Progressive Association on Monday night, in the Glebe Collegiate auditorium, select the party standard-bearer for the next federal election. About 2,200 persons who were paid up members of the association on Oct. 28 50-cent membership fee for men and 25 cents for the ladies will be entitled to vote at the convention. Since voting for the candidate will be limited to those paid up members, it will be what is known as a "closed" convention. An "open" convention would permit all who attended the convention as supporters of the Progressive Conservative party to vote.

John Bracken, national leader of the party, is scheduled to be the main speaker at the convention which will commence at 8 p.m. Mayoralty List For Other Points Canadian Press. Mayoralty nominations In other Ontario municipalities today follow: Cecil Leroyv Boyd. Welland Mayor: T. H.
