Howe Faces Criticisms Over Import Curbs and Ministerial Powers
Parliament heatedly debated a government conservations bill as critics assailed Trade Minister Howe for granting broad import powers to acquire capital equipment from the United States. A CCF amendment on quotas was defeated 49 to 42, leaving restrictions to apply evenly to all countries. Mackenzie King announced higher veteran pensions, while Howe and Abbott guided the bill through estimates, with expected US dollar savings from tighter import controls and rapid regulatory work to follow.

UN partition plan faces failure without armed force
The Pale manypany commission predicts UN partition of the Holy Land will fail unless an adequately armed force backs it. The five-member body asks the Security Council to provide force by May 13, likely international, to back the plan and enable the commission to carry out duties over Palestine. The report notes that success would mark the first UN effort to enforce a partition by military strength. The group, called the Fire Lonely Pilgrims, urges security and order to implement the Nov. 29 resolution, and highlights arrests in Jerusalem amid tensions between Jewish and Arab areas.
