Geneva tëm\u2019porariïy ive at midnight last night and, far as Canadian though temporary, are expected to 1 continue for many months and possibly into another year, They came lees than four hours after the government had announced widespread tariff reductions negotiated at Geneva with 17 other countries and served only to dampen hopes that the trade agreements would bring a wider list of foreign-made products to Canadian bargain-counters, Official sources confirmed that the economic progfam nullifies, if only temporarily, the concessions Canada has granted on the import side of the tariff arrangements but said the Dominion\u2019s action was within the framework of the general agreement.The arrangements \u2022 become effective Jan.1, 1948.At the same time, they said that while this country hag given up, for the time being, the possibility of cheaper and more numerous imports, she has taken steps which will be sufficient to take care of her dollar needs with an \u201cample margin of safety.\u2019- The dollar-saving program was announced in broadcast messages by Prime Minister Mackenzie King, speaking from London, and Finance Minister Abbott, in Ottawa, and both made it clear that Canada\u2019s economic ills arose from the inability of her overseas customers to pay for their purchases with U.S.currency.While Mr.King dealt with the broad aspects of the economic eteps, Mr.Abbott outlined the measures being given effect and flatly announced that the government had rejected suggestions that the Canadian dollar be devalued.He made these disclosures: 1.Canada\u2019s reserve of U.S.dollars had dropped from $1,2415,000,-000 last Jan.1 to $500,000,0-00 last Thursday, The government will ask parliament to place a retroactive 25 per cent excise on a wide range of durable consumer goods of a less essential character.Parliament will be asked to authorize a retroactive increase from 10 to 25 per cent in the tax on automobiles.Parliament will be asked to authorize removal of the eight per cent sales tax on electricity and gas used in dwellings.Parliament will be asked to authorize removal of the one cent a pound excise tax on sugar and the import duty on tea from normal sources.It will be asked to authorize reduction of the duty on coffee.Under import restrictions some goods will be banned completely, others will be placed on a quota basis and the importance of still others will be at the discretion of Reconstruction Minister Howe.The emergency measures were felt necessary because Canada\u2019s American dollar reserves dropped Continued on Page

States today faced such a stagger ing mass of proposals for restoration of rationing and price controls, grants to Europe and .«oriel wide trade concessions that Cana da\u2019s drastic restrictions of United States imports was only a drop in the bucket of confusion.There was no immediate reaction from Congressmen and the announcement from Ottawa came too late for morning paper editorial comment.But the State Department, familiar in advance through dis-euseions with Canadian authorities on the dollar-saving proposals, wa.s ready with a friendly explanatory statement issued shortly before midnight.\u201cCanada has been the United States\u2019 beet customer for many years and undoubtedly will remain so,\u2019\u2019 the department said.It also attempted to explain that ttTe announcement of restricted imports wa?not in violation of the trade agreements announced earlier yesterday between the United States and 22 countries, including Canada, designed to open and speed up the channels of international trade.The State Department accepted at once the assurance of Canada that this was \u201cemergency\u201d action within the meaning of the existing Canada-United States trade agreement and the new agreements; an- nounced yesterday and violated neither.But there will probably be further explanations to congressional committees' at hearings and in debate on the long-range plans to aid Europe at a cost of perhaps $20,(XX),(>(W),O0fl.The proposal is that large portions of the aid-Europe grants will be spent for commodities in Canada and other Western Hemisphere countries.If Congressmen adopt their traditional attitude they will want, to know in fullest detail why Canada should benefit from the European aid plan at the same time she is restricting United States imports so drastically.Canadian Ambassador Hume Wrong has called a press conference for this afternoon to explain to American newspaper men the financial and trade proposals to be adopted to meet the dollar

Buckingham Palace last night where about 150 distinguished guests attended a supper dance in honor of Princess Elizabeth and Lieut.Philip Mount-batten, but Thursday's Royal bride was up at the usual hour today over-seeing last minute arrangements for her wedding.The highlight of the .Palace party came when five Kings and six Queens raised champagne glasses in the cream-and-gold banquet hall to toast \u201cElizabeth and Philip.\u201d Both responded to the toast.At the meal preceding the dance, the service was all gold\u2014cutlery, cruets, plate and candlesticks.While the guests danced until 3 a.m., workmen at Westminister Abbey were completing preparations for the Royal ceremony.The ancient building re-echoed to hammer-strokes and foremen\u2019s orders while late watchers at one point

Mr.Howe said the government had restrictive and expansive programs in mind and that it might use both.Each industry would be dealt with separately and would be asked to contribute to the solution of the American dollar short age problem.He did* not anticipate that unemployment would result from the government\u2019s restrictions on imports.There- was every incentive for industry to expand rather than to contract.Among other points at the conference were'these: 1.\tMr.Abbott said he did not wish to disclose at this time how much the government estimated it would save as a result of steps taken to meet the dollar crisis.2,\tHe did not know whether Canada would ever draw on the $300,000,000 loan from the American Import-Export Bank, but it charge of a program aimed at cut-1 was there in case of need.Continued on Page 5 49 Dead Or Missing In New Zealand Blaze Christchurch, N.Z., Nov.18.\u2014(IP)\u2014Forty-nine persons were counted dead or missing today in a spectacular fire which destroyed the four-storey Ballantyne Brothers department store, largest retail establishment in this south island city.The bodies of 28, including shoppers and employees, were recovered, mostly from the area about the doors.A 29th person died in a hospital.Twenty others were listed as missing, The cause of the fire was not determined.Firemen, who made numerous dramatic rescues, brought the blaze under control within two hours, but it still was burning as darkness came and the search for victims was suspended.from duties on canned and dried 50 per cent, and bitter attack on these cost-of-liv-j mg proposals that they appeared Butter duty cut by U.S.iori?'n ft.bTme top.lssues in th\u201c 14 to seven cents a pound.194» political campaign.\t*\t*\t* Taft,, replying to the President pj g -by radio 8 % hours after Truman applës reduced addressed a joint session of Con-| gresr, yesterday, sounded this Republican battle-cry;

\u201cWe have no knowledge of plans of anyone in Hollywood to make a motion picture based on or suggested by the life of A1 Capone.\u201cSeveral time?film stories based on Capone\u2019s life have been submitted to the Production Code Ad- ministration for its consideration, and have been rejected as unacceptable screen fare.The most recent instance of such rejections was approximately five months ago.\u201d Okay, Mr, Breen.Behind That Statement However, the real facts are that 18 writes and 10 studios could bo working on plans for such a pic-j turo and Mr, Breen wouldn\u2019t know anything about them until the] script was actually submitted to him.Breen says stories based on Capone\u2019s life have been rejected as ^'.acceptable screen fare.It sounds good.But it means that if someone finally figures out an angle that is acceptable, under the code, Breen will approve it, just like he I approved \u201cDillinger\u2019\u2019 and scores of 'other gangster stories.I doubt if any of the Capone | stories submitted to Breen were from major studios, They were probably submit ed by promoters or shoestring producers, The Production Code Administration, reeking with politics, is harsh on individuals, lenient on the major studios, which support and sometimes dictate the code policies.So, despite Breen\u2019s statement, which means nothing, it is obvi-ous that the Capone story can still be found acceptable to the Production Code Administration.Send your letters today to Eric 1 Johnston, chairman of the Produc-'ers Association, demanding that AT THE PREMIER Nelson Eddy and Ilona Massey in one of the climactic scenes of Republic\u2019s \"Northwest Outpost,\u201d the big musical adventure film opening tomorrow at the Premier Theatre.The story is based on life at Fort Ross, during the earliest and most romantic Californian days.DANVILLE An Excellent Cough IVBedicine Dr.Wood\u2019s Norway Pino Syrup is a quick and pleasant remedy for coughs, colds, sore throat, spasmodic croup, asthma and bronchial troubles.Pleasant tasting, safe and effective, Dr.Wood\u2019s Norway Pine Syrup takes hold almost instantly.It helps to loosen the phlegm and mucus, soothe the irritated membranes, stimulate the bronchial organs and clear the air passages.Dr.Wood\u2019s Norway Pine Syrup has been a popular family remedy for nearly 50 years.On sale at all drug counters.Th© T.Milburn.Co., Limited, Toronto, OnE FOR COMPLETE COMFORT AND GREATER WARMTH TURNBULL\u2019S fflndwuea/t/ \"THE BEST IS ALWAYS THE MOST SATISFACTORY\u201d T*.C .T tt t ,rb u I I Co limit.d .CM - Coo.d.- E.l.bli.h.d l»59 Funeral services were held in St.Augustine\u2019s Church for Joseph H.D.Gray with Rev W.W.Smith officiating.The bearers were Messrs.Wesley and Bert Olney, Herbert Perkins, Noah Perkins, E.A.Rick and Howard Laxson.Those from a distance attending were Mr.and Mrs.Roland Grey, Mr.and Mrs.M.MacCallister, Mr.Robert MacCallister and Miss Catherine MacCallister, of Montreal, and Mr, and Mrs.Mooney, of Sherbrooke.Mrs.Lorne Mitchell spent a few days in Montreal.the Capone story be outlawed forever, in any form, in fairness to the youth of America, * * * Only s-O'.'.r note at the Bob Hope testimonial dinner was the absence of Bing Crosby, hailed for yeans as Bob\u2019s best friend.Bing\u2019s name was on the program, but he didn\u2019t appear.Paramount said that it was all a mistake and very \u201cunfair.\u201d But a friend of a friend whispered in my ear that .Bing declined for the usual reason\u2014he would have been photographed minus Lis toupee, and he hates io wear the toupee.Gable Seeing Doctors Clark Gable is suffering from a seriou tong-ue ailment and is seeing a doe a couple of times a week.Comic Allan Young will marry Virginia McCurdy, a radio singer, when 'his divorce is final.*\t*\t* A film biography of the famous race horse.\u201cMan o\u2019 War,\u201d is headed for the screen, .Meanwhile, another race horse story, \u201cThe Winner\u2019s Circle,\u201d will feature newsreel\tclips\tof\tfamous\tnags, woven into the story of a colt who becomes famous.Richard Polimer is producing.i*\t*\t* Rita Hayworth, who was a topaz blonde for a year for her role in \u201cThe\tLady\tFrom\tShanghai,\u201d\tis -back to her famous deep red tresses (her hair is black but she dyes it red) for her part in \u201cCarmen.\u201d j.While visiting M-G-M, Minnesota\u2019s Harold E.Stassen starred in a one-reel short, with stars and studio workers popping important questions at him.* * * Lauren Bacall\u2019s mother is now j working as a Hollywood ty-pist\u2014 'at $1 an hour.AT THE REX WOMEN! nfYJHIS if you're NERVOUS On \u2018CERTAIN OftYS\u2019of Month!

threw in a chapter about the phono-! graph in which he predicted every-j thing but Petrillo.I In Bellamy\u2019s \u201cLooking Baek-jward\u201d (1®88), there\u2019s television and i escalators.In Percy\u2019s Greg\u2019s \u201cAcross the Zodiac\u201d (same time) you can read about automobiles, dictaphones, plastics and talking pictures.As for Jules Verne and H.G.Wells\u2014well, the boys called the turn on almost everything from submarines to subways.This pair kicked around the radio before Marconi, relatively before Einstein, and animated billboards before Art-craft-Sirauss.Even Edgar Allen Poe took a wack at science fiction and painted word-pictures of passenger dirigibles, trans-Atlantic cables, and transcontinental streamlined ehoo-choos, ; In the wholesale murder business, the phantasy boys have always been two wars ahead of the military.In a book called \u201cBanzai\u201d published in 19'08, Ferdinand Grau-toff blueprinted the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.And as for atomL energy, so rnuch had been written about it by 1906 that the pulp magazine editors told their writers to get off the subject and try something else.Currently, the science fiction fellas are predicting a world which will be \u201cbarefooted, skin-robed and fireless.\u201d Their stories all seem to end the same way.Someone pushes a button and\u2014toloop!\u2014 no world.i Crazy talk, you say?Well, I 'wouldn\u2019t be so sure.These guys have a record for being right that gives me goose bumps.After Mr.Vishinsky has read the book, pass it around to the rest of j the delegates\u2014ours included.One more suggestion, Mr.Lie.The next time all the boys are together, you might tell them the oldie about the two chimpanzees who were the only survivors of World War III.When the lady chimp tried to cuddle up, her gen-1 tinman friend looked at the bang-ed-up world around them and then pushed her away.Aw no!\u201d he said.\u201cWe\u2019re not going through that darn thing all over again.\u201d Sincerely, BILLY ROSE.(Copyright, 1(947, by Billy Rose) HUNTINGVILLE Mrs, Ernest Dewing was a week-end guest at the home of Mr.and Mrs.R.Baker, in Lennoxville.; Mr.and Mrs, Carl Griffith ac- i oompanied by Mr.and Mrs.Kenneth Gale and daughter, of Sherbrooke, spent a week-end in Montreal visiting relatives.Mr.Norman Bowers' is homej from Middleton.N.S., for two| week\u2019s vacation at the same home1 is Mr.Douglas Hyatt, of Montreal.The many friends of Mrs.Helen Hyatt will be sorry to hear that \u2022she has been ill with pleurisy.Mrs.Lillian Kelly, of York\u2019s Mills, N.B., is a guest at the home of Mr.and Mrs.C.H.Hunting.EAST FARNHAM The Community Club held a bingo party one evening in the school room.The prizes w^ere won as follows; 1 Ladies, Mrs.G.Hooper, consolation, Mrs.A.Grubb; gentlemen, Joseph Lyons; consolation, Mr.H.Reynolds.Refreshments were served at the close of the games.Mrs, Thomas Thompson was removed to the Montreal General Hospital by ambulance for observation.Mrs.James Booton is ill with bronchitis.Mr.Graham spent several days in Montreal.\u201cTAKE SIR PILLS!\u201d advises Sydney woman.Recommends 40 year old remedy \u201c/ suffered for years from kidney trouble without getting much relief.Then I tried Gin Pills.After taking 3 boxes lfelt very much z'/n-/>rorW.\u201d\u2014Mis.V.L., Sydney ,N.S.Gin Pills help remove the acids that can cause aches and pain.Sold by all druggists o n a \"Satisfacrion-ot-iuoney-bacfe'\u2019 basis.Use proves their merit.Regular sire, 40 PiHt Economy sixe, 80 Pills GIN PILLS FÔR-THË KlDNEYS * (In the U.S.A.ask fop GI no Pills) National Drirç & Chemical Company of Canada, limited pnTs L VMM 1 pr o h ¦ a a sa am sr a '«¦ a a b'b m a\":a a 'a avranraii!»!'B\"a\"\"B\"a 'B'sr a\" I\"!!] + Brilliant Flawless Diamonds in settings to melt your heart at fine jewellers everywhere in a wide selection.GUARANTEE CERTIFICATE AND INSURANCE ROUCY FREE OF CHARGE NEW PREMIER THEATRE -FOUR GREAT DAYS STARTING TOMORROW- dnfl*\tWSBU Starts WEDNESDAY ENDS TODAY!

did not enable it to compete in1 world markets, but this was far from being the ease with Canada.He also wondered what reason there was to assume that a further j price increase of, say, 10 per cent, | brought about by currency depreci- ; ation would restrict \u201cto any rc-a- j sonable extent\u201d Canadian buying in the U.S.If Canada was able to re- j duce the value of her currency far j enough she could restrict imports !
