THE OTTAWA AGREEMENT
DISCUSSION IN CANADA RESOLUTION FOR REPEAL. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright OTTAWA, February 29. The repeal of the 1933 Statute implementing the Ottawa Conference agreement with Britain, with the revocation of schedules, is sought in the Commons by a resolution by Mr .1. F. Pouliot, Liberal. He has given 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, and known as the Dunning Budget. He contends that there is dissatisfaction with the agreement in Britain. Canada had succeeded in negotiating a pact with the United States, and the time had come 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.
