8 N “ ——m s s ot [lE[ITIflN ISSUES SEETHE N CANADA' Byng s Act in Refusmg Dis* solution to King Is Made Main Factor. By Consolidated Press. OTTAWA, Ontario; July 10.—The g‘gfilml pot is boiling furiously in the minion of Canada today and the explosion when it bubbles over with announcement of the date of the general elections—to be some time in Septem will be heard not only in every province but throughout the British Empire. One of the main issues to .be dis- cussed will be the constitutionality of the action of the governor gen Baron Byng of Vimy—-in refusing dis- solution to W. L. Mackenzie King, the liberal premier of the last year, and granting it a few days later to Arthur Meighen, who has undertaken to form a government but who was- de feated by one vote on an “accidental” decision. Status of Dominion Involved. The raising of the constitutional is- ue makes the forthcoming election he most important in Canadian his- tory, for it raises, according to the Liberal ideas, the question of the status of the Dominion—whether it has a right to conduct its own affairs. without the interference of Downing Street—on the assumption that Baron Y government. The Conservative party claims that what was done was absolutely con- #titutional, inasmuch as Mackenzie King sought to avold a vote of cen- sure for maladministration in connec- tion with the customs' depar.ment, particularly in reference to amug- gling, by getting dissolution befo.e, the vote was taken, Lord Byng refused and King ac- cordingly resigned. The governor general then sent for Arthur Meighen, leader of the Con- servative. opposition, which actually outnumbered the Liberal members in the House but had been unable to de- feat them before because they had, through special legislation promised, allied the Progressives to them. Mr. Meighen thought he could com- plete the work of Parliament and in three votes gained sufficient Progres- sive support to justify his bellef to some extent. Then came the vote which. put the new government in a minority of oné, and next day, with- out any prorofation Parliament was dissolved. The situation now stands that Pre- mier Meighen, who for political rea- sons will replace the acting cabinet ‘with. properly accredited ministers, L% will proceed to hold general elections ‘throughout the country and attempt to secure a majority to carry on a mew Parliament next Fall How Defeat Followed. One of the unusual incidents con- A mected with the breaking up of the Jast Parliament was that immediately after he had voted against the gov- _ernment, the Rev. T. W. Bird, Pro- gressive member, declared that he had * forgotten he had paired with C. W. Kennedy of Peace River, another Progressive, who was supporting the Conservative side and .wanted to withdraw his vote. As the speaker cannot take official cognizance of pairs, the vote had to stand and so the government was defeated. Now both sides are preparing for the elections. The Conwr\u\he party will fight it on the ggling _dis- + elosures, which revealed lhal millions of doltrs had been lost to the public treasury, while Canadian manufac- turers were fuined by foreign smug: gled goods. The Liberals will talk contltuuogal w in most provinces. In Quebec, wever, where they gained their largest support, they have already given indications that they will seek to frighten the IFrench Can- adians from supporting the. Conserv- atives by pointing out that the new premier i the man who put into force the conscription law in 1917, and that they will be in danger once mére of having their soms sent to some for- eign battlefield to be slaughtered— the cry that defeated the Conserv- ative candidates in 1935. = The province Is strongly protec- tionist in provincial matters, such as pulpwood and power exports, but al- ways votes for free trade Liberals | in the federal elections.

Men, However, nmm Supflom.y in Matters of Judgment, Hopkins Tests Show, Special Dispatch to The Star. RALTIMORE, * July 10.—Women can do ‘more work in a given time than men, but men still ‘retain their superiority in matters of judgment. These results are shown in a series of experiments conducted by the psychological laboratory of John: Hopkins University and described by Isabel C. Stewart in a paper which will appear in a forthcoming, num- ber of the Journal of Comparative Psychology. Tests were given 542 women and 542 men, college students in differ- ent sections of the country, rauging in age from 16 to 39, the average wilug @bod. the same for men and women: Similar tests in the past have been concerned aimost whoily with school children. and indicate that girls show greater speced and accuracy in. per- formance, but do ‘not measure up to the boys in judging weights and distances. The work in these tésts consisted in substituting 'letters for symbols The work to be done was fully e plained and a key to the symbols given at the top of the work sheet. The judgment tests required each student to estimate in advance how much of the work of substitution could be done in the given time. -Two tests were given, the first one for one minute and 15 seconds and -the second for one minute. ‘The results were catefuily analyzed and tabylated. No appreciable -dif- ference was shown between the men and the women in their attention.to - directions of in the accuracy of their work in substituting letters for sym- bols, but the women did more work than the men. On the other hand, in estimating the amount of. work they could do in a given time the men were more accurate. In both the -estimating work and in . the work of substitution the women showed slightly more varia- tion among themselves than the men. It _has generally been accepted that men were more variable than women, though there has been soms differ- ence of opinion among psychologists on the subject. Will Inspect Park Area. Maj. Donald H. Connolly, Corps of Engineers, stationed at Memphis, Tenn., and C. L. Pickens and Evans help him, as will also the desire of the business men of the commercial metropolis to have some represent- ative in the cabinet. Premier Meighen is a cool, calculat- ing, statistically-minded lawyer, with . remarkable ‘ability, for marshaling Ml and figures and presenting them. He consistently advocates a protec- 201!!.! policy. His opponent, ‘Willlam n Mackenzie King,'is the grand- #on of the famous rebel.

His political life has been a hard onme, for in the last parliament he had @ tough job to keep the farmer mem- ‘ers together and this parliament, dur- ing its one brief session, has met with such open revolt from them that he gave up the attempt and let them “gang their ain gait.” Baron Byng, whese term as gov- ernor general expires in a few weeks, is one of the aristocrats of England.
