CANABIANSHUNDER Demands Immediate Revi- sion of Defense of Can-.' ada Regulations Winnipeg, Pcb. 1.-Censorshlp regulations enforced by the present Governne.,it. practically deprve Canadians o! the right te open their mouUis, J. S. Woodsworth, Federal Leader o! the Co-operative Commonwealth F'ederation Pa rty, declarcd herd Saturday. In his openlng address of the current gencral election ca.mpaign Mr&. Woodsworth urged the people o! Cànac1a te insist that the country should be run by Parliament and net by Orders-in-Council. He spoke before the C.C.P. convention o! Sel- k'rk constituency. Mr. Woodswort1h demanded thc inediate revsidni of the Defense o! Canada Regulations, wliich, he said, did aiwaýi with thc Magna Carta. He claimmd that Prime Mi- ister Mackenzie Kin.g had said lic was willîng to have their revision consldered at the nexct -session o! Parliament, but asked why Uic Prime Milster found it necessary to walt for a session o! Parliameut. Urges Change NOw The C.C.P. Leader, m.ember o! Parliament for Winnipeg Northi Centre, declared that since the regulations were not enacted by Parliament, but proclaimed by the Liberai Govennment, that sanie Governnxent could revise thein by proclamation. The Govennmcnt, he said, should revise thein before they r"ýceived a vote in thle coming elec- Lion. - He reminded his audience that Parliament had prorogued ini Uic latter part o! June. 1939, and said that bel ore the House could s't again it would be at least April. That meant Canada would be with- out a Parliament for ten months and the recent "shami session" o! a f ew hours. This could not be called govenn- ment by.Parliament, he mauntained. It was government by a clique sucli as ini some countries was called a dictatorship. Mr. Woodsworth exprcssed the hope that the Prime Minister would kccp hls plcôge not to introduce conscription "better than he kept his pledge about not callung a general elCtion urrtil a! 1er a ses- sion o! Parliament." "lWc have already economic con- scription because a large nuniber o! the men who have gone have been compelled te go because o! the necessty of satisfying their stem- achý,*" Mr. Wocdsworth adcled. jw0$009 MEN IN AIR SCIIEME.
