OTTAWA AGREEMENT
Member Seeks Repeal Of Canadian Law (Received March 1, 6.30 p.m.) Ottawa, February 29. Repeal of the 1933 Statute implementing the Ottawa Conference agreement with Britain, with revocation of schedules, is sought in a House of Commons resolution by Mr. J. F. Pouliot (Liberal), who gives notice that he will ask the House to declare that the agreement should be revoked. He would substitute the 1930 amendment to the Customs Act brought down by the Liberal Government of that day, known as the Dunning Budget, and contends that there is dissatisfaction with the agreement in Britain. Canada has succeeded in negotiating a pact with the United States and the time has come, he claims, to try the Dunning Budget, designed to promote trade between Canada, and Britain, but nullified by the defeat of the Government in 1930 before it could be tried
