E. N. Sinclair, Liberal leader in Ontario, in a vigorous address here last night, urged upon Premier Ferguson the advisability of getting a new attor- ney-general if the Hon. W. H. Price, present incumbent does not take ad- vantage of his powers and empower a royal commission to carry on the investigation. 'While insisting that he was "not demanding the head of Colonel Price upon a charger," Mr. Sinclair alleg- ed shameful abuse of public conf- dence by certain brokers in the city of Toronto. The government had or should have the fullest information bearing upon such "humbuggery and thievery," he argued, and yet it failed to take advantage of the wide powers granted to the attorney.gen- eral at his own request in the se- curities frauds prevention act. Holding up an unnamed Toronto house as a glaring example, Mr. Sin- clair declared that this broker had bucketed nearly 70° per cent of the orders it had taken from customers during the past several years. "Operating on the so-called New York pool system," asserted the Lib- eral chieftain, "they never really transact most of the orders from their clients on margin, but charge them interest on the unpaid balance as well as brokerage on buying and selling and then sell them out in wash sales manipulated through a ring of sub- sidiary brokers.

Strawn, chair- man of the citizens' committee as "critically desperate." The local governments, he said, following a three day search by his committee for "a way out," are "flat broke," with no prospect of any bid from the banks, Efforts to induce substantial property own- ers to buy tax anticipation war- rants which they could use later as payment of their tax bills, also have heen unsuccessful. "Complete collapse of the local governments" is only "a matter of days" unless some means of pro- ducing cash is found, Strawn warn- ed. Even a special session of the legislature, he said, could not get under way quickly enough to fore- stall the crisis. Such a procednre has been suggested as a possible remedy, The local governments, Strawn said, are $290,000,000 in debt, and this is costing an estimated $50,- 000 a day in interest. The county controller has in- formed the Strawn committee that by March 1, the county will owe $2,250,000 in salaries and $3,215,- 000 in other liabilities.

For the Government, Lord Arnold, Paymaster, resisted the amend- ment, declaring it would result in chaos.

Soviets Yow to Destroy Kulak Wealthy Peasants Must Be Exterminated Says Kalinin Moscow, Jan. 22,--Determina- tion of the Soviet government to destroy the Kulak, or wealthy pea- sant class, was reiterated by Mi- chael Kalinin, chairman of the central executive committee, the highest government organ of the Soviet union, at a conference of that body today. "We must not only exterminate the Kulak, but we must pave the way to pure socialism, create a new soclety and finally reach our goal of communism," he said. Full Communism Further discussing the goal of communisni, Kalinin continued, "When will we have full commun- ism? We will have full commun- ism when each member of the com- munity labors voluntarily accord- ing to his ability and takes freely according to his needs. But we are still very far from commun- ism, Before real communism can exist 'we must live through the stage of socialism. Under social. ism differences in men's wealth will remain, it ig true, but it will be impossible for any man to ex- ploit another because private own- ership of the means of production will cease and pass into the state." Kalinin added that as long as the cannons of capitalistic coun- tries are directly at the Soviet bor- der it will be impossible for the Bolsheviks to abolish the red army, the Gaypayoo, or secret police, and various other government organs the existence of which will be sup- erflnous under pure communism.
