For Emergency Only Mr. McLarty replied that Prime Minister Mackenzie King and the government as a whole were on rec- ord that labor was co-operating in the war effort and "any concessions made by labor in this emergency would be for the emergency only." It was the government's accepted obligation that "when labor was making these concessions it was our definite duty when the emergency was over to see that they did not suffer as a result. I do not think there can be any doubt about that," Mr. McLarty said. The minister gave a detailed ac- count of the efforts of his depart- ment to maintain the supply of skilled workmen for war industries, through vocational training and co- operation with industry which con- ducts training classes. But'this might not be enough, and extension of the working week from 44 hours to 48 might be necessary. The high rate of Sunday and over- time pay also might have to be changed, since they wer e"punitive" rates designed to prevent unneces- sarily long hours when no emer- gency existed. One of the studies being made in his department had to do with use of men in non-essential industries, the minister said. A survey was being made to establish a list of such industries which employ men in the trades where a shortage of men was in prospect, and to determine the number so employed. May Transfer Men | "It may be found necessary to deny such industries the right to engage any additional men required in the essential occupations," he said, "and, secondly, to transfer | some of their skilled labor to war | industries." | Mr. McLarty was the eighth cab- inet minister to speak in the debate {on the address in reply to the | speech from the htrone. He was Jinn by private members repre- | sentative of all 'parties in the House. Today prime minister Mackenzie King may make an announcement concerning some further business planned for the present stage of the | session before the long Christmas | adjournment which now seems | likely to come about the middle of next week. | Mr. King also said he might make | a statement today on progress of | the war with especial reference to recent reports of heavy damage to | | British war industries and dwindl- ing British financial resources. Aside from Mr, McLarty's speech, yesterday's debate was featured by | the maiden speech of Alfred Bence (Con, Saskatoon), who declared much of the difficulty in the wheat- growing areas of Western Canada { could have been avoided by an ade- quate government policy in relation to farm-stored wheat, Mr. Bence advocated wider dis- tribution of war industries so labor might be more equitably utilized. This would enable all parts of the country to aid in the war effort and , facilitate post-war adjustment. Waste In Camp Building D. King Hazen (Con, Saint John-Albert) complained of alleged waste in military camp construc- tion and expressed fear there was | political patronage in war contracts despite the prime minister's declar- ation against it. T. C. Douglas (C.C.F. Weyburn) sald the war had brought a new sense of the value of the common man, without whose co-operation the war could not be won, ; Mr. Douglas claimed the Housé was entitled to know 'what is wrong" at the Lysander Aircraft Works in Malton, Ont. He quoted reports than more than 800 men, many of them key officials, had quit their jobs in the last year. He said delivery from the plant on war contracts had been slow and he thought members of parliament should be told why. Tory Compliments McLarty Mr. McLarty was complimented on his address by Karl Homuth (Con., Waterloo South) who said "an address like that is the sort ot information which this House wants from the ministers who have the responsibility of carrying 'on our war effort." Mr. Homuth said jail was too good for some of those who refused to register for national war service. "There can be no neutrality in this country in regard to war," he said. "We are either for the war effort or against it." L. P. Lizotte (Lib, Kamouraska) warned the government it should not go outside the present policy which Quebec has supported with regard to military organization, lest the present national unity be disrupted. , He opposed the propos- ed extension to the compulsory military training period from 30 days to four months, Hector Authier (Lib, Chapleau) said the government must be care- ful not to repeat mistakes made in the last war with regard to enlist- ment of men for overseas service. What Britain wanted was materials and money, not men, at the moment at least. Week With adept monetary policies designed to provide a war chest without creat- ing debt was made by Walter Kuhl (N.D., Jasper-Edson). He claimed the "money powers" were an "ene- my within" equaly as dangerous as the enemy outside the country, BRITISH BLOCKADE OF MEDITERRANEAN GRIPPING ITALIANS Lacks Main Sorely Needed Foodstuffs -- Malnutrition Among Poor Washington, Nov. 29--(AP)--The British Mediterranean blockade has been so effective, the United States Agriculture Department reported today, that Italy faces the winter deprived of many sorely-needed foodstuffs and agricultural raw materials. By barring the gates of the Medi- terranean at Gibraltar and at Suez, Great Britain has cut off the sources of more than 80 per cent of Italy's imports, the department | said. "This blockade Is so effective in stopping the flow of supplies need- ed by Italy," the department sald, | "that it has more severely disor. ganized the Italian economie | structure than anything else the | war has accomplished." In a report on "Italian agricul- ture under Fascism and war," the formation, said to have been ob- tained through diplomatic chan- nels, told how Germany's Axis partner has resorted to strict ra- tioning in an effort to make avail- able supplies last as long as possi- ble. "The restrictions on food con- sumption," the report stated, "are heavy for an agricultural country like Italy, even in time of war." Great numbers of the poorer class- | es were sald to be suffering from malnutrition. The department said that Italy, upon her entry, apparently expect- ed the war to be of short duration. "It was only after more than a month of warfare, when the TItal- fan government became less certain of the duration of the conflict, that genuine alarm was felt and more inclusive rationing was adopt- ed." Not only have Italians felt the pinch of food shortages, but higher prices as well. The report said prices were 40 per cent higher than when Great Britain and France de- clared war on Germany. At that time, it declared, Italy already was suffering from the effects of four vears of conflict in Ethiopia and Spain, from the uneconomic at- tempt" to achieve self-sufficiency | and from the increasing tempo of rearmament. The report said that in the per- |iod between start of the war and | Italy's entry months later, the Al- | lied blockade against Germany pre- vented Italy from replenishing al- ready depleted stocks of vital raw materials. "It was under this economic bur- | den, with little or no reserves of vital agricultural products, especial- lv of cotton, wool, rubber, cereals, oilseeds and meats, that Italy en- tered the war on June 10, 1940," the report said. Its overseas trade shut off by the [ blockade, Italy must now rely on [sources of supply that may be reached only by land, especially Germany, Switzerland, the Balkans, and Northern Europe. The depart- ment said, however, it was diffi- cult to see how these countries could supply Italy with such prod- ucts as rubper, cotton, wool and jute. Moreover, they have nb coffee and export little meat, and their excess cereals and fats must be sent to Germany. "Thus the lack of fate, oils, meats --the three food products in which Italy is most deficient--may be- come more serious as the British blockade continues," the report said. "In this case the Italian peo- ple may expect much stricter ra- tions and possibly five or six meat- less days." Meat supplies are already so scarce, the report said, that con- sumption is permitted only on Sat- urdays, Sundays and Mondays. The sale of fresh pastry and ice cream likewise is limited to three days a week. Coffee drinking by clvilians has been prohibited, available sup- plies having been requisitioned for the armed forces. Restrictions recently were im- posed on purchase of edible oils, butter, lard and suet. The monthly ration per person of olive oil, a major item in the Italian diet, now is one pint. Only three-quarters of a pound of butter, lard or suet a month is allowed each person, The department sald bread is being rationed in restaurants at 2.8 ounces per person per meal in "luxury and first-class" restaurants and 5.3 ounces in 'second, third and fourth class" eating places. The bread contains more bran than heretofore. Sugar consumption has een reduced so that a part of the wallable supply may be converted 'nto sorely-needed industrial alco- A plea for the government tc 10], the report said. Cotton supplies .
