Jhe race with death was ordered The Senate debated the League of ! ^ter Robinson^ sociallyjmomingnt Nations withdrawal motion briefly yesterday and meets again today.The Lower House today will take up the bill to establish a central bureau of government translators which has been reported from the c;vil service committee and afterwards will return to the marketing A.M.Carmichael, who led the'planes.While orders were issued opposition to the Sweepstakes Bill, | for them to take off early today referred to the Royal Commission \"\t\u2019 1 Chicago bride, Florence Crane Robinson, had

were assigned to the sea- which had studied the broad problems of lotteries, betting and gambling in Great Britain in 1932.While not recommending the establishment of lotteries in the country, that tribunal had reported that \u201cthe least objectionable form of lottery is a state lottery for the benefit of the exchequer.\u2019' The commission\u2019s report had been followed by legislation imposing severe restrictions on British lottery activities, and placing those | Canal from other countries under stringent1 legal disabilities.\u201cThat is the manner in which the United Kingdom has dealt with the agitation for the re-establishment of lotteries,\u201d Mr.Carmichael commented.\u201cThe Parliament of the United Kingdom represents a population of approximately 45,000,000 Anglo-Saxons, and I think we in Canada, with a population of a little over 10,000,000 might follow the experience and practice of the Mother Country.\u201d He scouted the suggestion that hospitals or charitable institutions henefitted sufficiently from sweep-stakes to justify legalizing them quoting the figure of 17,99 per cent, of the total Irish sweepstake funds which the hill\u2019s sponsor, Mr.Fraser, had mentioned as ultimately reaching hospital coffers.The magazine \u201cTruth\u201d in London had stated that out of a total of £3,101,321 only £387,665 had reached hospital treasuries.Mr.Carmichael did not consider that \u201cgood business.\u201d The reason the amount was so small, he explained, was the lax of one-half the amount available for I he hospitals which the Free State imposed.\u201cInstead of this Chamber follow- the destroyer Hale was ordered to move through the canal from the Atlantic at full speed to carry reserve fuel for the planes.It will he necessary for them to refuel en route.The Hale cleared the canal shortly before ten o\u2019clock last night.Plans to aid Robinson, a Cambridge, Mass., textile engineer, were rushed by Rear Admiral Walter S.Crosley, commandant of the Zone Naval District, upon orders from Washington issued when word of the young couple\u2019s plight reached there.Robinson and his bride, heiress of the late Richard T.Crane, multimillionaire Chicago manufacturer, left the east coast last June on a 4,2(>0 mile honeymoon voyage in the Svaap.SEAPLANES BEGIN MERCY FLIGHT Los Angeles, May 23.\u2014The Mac-kay Radio Corporation announced receipt of word early today from the trawler Santa Cruz, that two United States naval seaplanes had taken off from the canal zone for Tagus Cove in the Galapagos Islands, where William Albert Robinson, noted adventurer, is critically ill.The report from the Santa Cruz, which is standing by to lend aid to Robinson, stricken with acute appendicitis aboard his honeymoon boat, said the planes were expected to make the 850-mile flight in about six and one half hours.The message said Robinson still was \u201cvery sick,\u201d and that he had suffered a \u201csinking

us to make a little more restrictive the.prohibitory legislation in regard to lotteries.We might perhaps take a leaf out of the report of the British commission and tighten up the legislation with regard to advertising and newspaper publicity given to lotteries, with its tendency to educate public opinion in favor of lotteries.\u201d Ho then moved the six months\u2019 hoist.On the grounds that

1917.Chapel Hill, N.C., May 23.\u2014 A book borrowed for sevonten years is again on the shelves of the University of North Carolina library.A student borrowed the book in 1917.Then came tho war, and the student marched off.Recently he opened his trunk and found (he book, Unification for Administrative Purposes Only Solution to Prevailing Conditions, Declares Canadian Pacific President.Montreal, May 23.\u2014 \u201cWith a soundly administered unified system, Canada would be able to anticipate within a reasonable period of time, a balanced railway budget, and would be able to finance any justifiable extensions which expanding settlement and development might in future demand.\u201d E.W.Beatty, K.C., chairman and president, Canadian Pacifie Railway, declared before the -Canadian j Political Science Association here | last night.Mr.Beatty, discussing \u201cThe Canadian Transportation Problem,\u201d made a thoroughly comprehensive and thought-provoking survey of the physical and political events leading up to the present alarming situation created by the Canadian National Railways deft, and emphasized that his suggested solution of unified control under private administration was the result of more than 15 years of intimate contact with the study of the problem.\u201cI have tried to impress on you the immensity of our railway problem, and to convince you that a reasonable solution is possible and that a plan is before you if you will accept it,\u201d he summed up.\u201cI urge on you to give the whole matter earnest thought and study.I have lived with it for over fifteen years, I have tried to view it always from a national standpoint, proud of the fact that throughout its existence, the Canadian Pacific has proven itself to be a good citizen of Canada.It repaid with interest the help it received from Panada during its early struggles.\u201d The urgency of the situation from the viewpoint of the taxpayers and the country at large was ably outlined by the President of the Canadian Pacific.\u201cThe railway debt of Canada at the end of 1933 was $2,895,799,134.and it is increasing daily.It has reached intolerable dimenisons, and must not only be controlle-d, but reduced.It constitutes the greatest obstacle to the refunding of our national, provincial and municipal obligations, which refunding is so necessary if we aie to keep our financial house in order and keep taxation within endurable limits.\u201cIt is not a phantom debt which can be disposed of by botikkeeping entries, but an undischarged mortgage on the industry and the resources of the country The business property which we have to show for the expenditure is not self-sustaining.The proposal to write off a proportion of the deb! has the support of certain publicists whose record of counsel on railway problems, up to the present, consists of the following: 1\u2014Unrelenting opposition to the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway.21\u2014Enthusiastic support of the construction of the G.T.R., and Transcontinental Railways.3\u2014\tEqually enthusiastic support of the Canadian Northern enterprise.4\u2014\tSupport of the ecquistion of all major railways, save that of the Canadian Pacific, by the Government.Support of the policy of unrestrained competition offered by the Government Railways to its competitor during the last ten years.6\u2014The maintenance of the duplication, and, in places, triplication of facilities we now enjoy whether or not bankruptcy is just around tho corner.\u201cThey now propose to add support of an endeavour to wipe out, by book entries, inescapable loss resulting from policies previously advocated by them, and to he parties to a calculated deception of the Canadian taxpayer as to the extent of the yearly contribution he must make to meet railway losses.\u201cThe policy of compulsory cooperation, although it is being given a fair trial, offers little promise of substantial relief.Founded on expediency\u2014not no reason and experience\u2014it does not touch on Ihe heart of tho problem.I make that statement deliberately and with confidence, because no man of any experience in railway operations has had tho temerity to attempt to indicate that tho possible economies from co-operation could eonceive- Canada Honors Memory Of Noble Queen Enshrined in the Hearts of Her People.p, rt.\tW/J r 1-,\t£%\u2022-*- T\t' y 'v;Y ' = v,> '.aji-' ^\t: éiWai Victoria trie Good.mm on 'III 7 O G over nor'General of Canada His Majesty The King IlmM Tomorrow members of the great British family of nations will holiday.A festive note will resound throughout the far-flung Empire.With bonds of common love and respect, tilting tribute will be paid to the revered memory of a beloved queen and a gracious lady, Victoria the Good.The birthday anniversary of this noble queen, who reigned over the British Empire from 1837 until 1901, continues to be a great Canadian holiday .It is a day of relaxation and enjoyment.Canada is distinctive in tho British Empire as continuing the full holiday observance of Queen Victoria's birthday.The United Kingdom and other British dominions celebrate May 2 4 as Empire Day, but not, like Canada, as a statutory holiday.Officially there is no Empire Day in Canada as a whole, although May 23, and sometimes May 25, is given over in the schools of some of the provinces to demonstrations of patriotic significance.Soon after Queen Victoria ascended the throne in 1837 the people of Canada adopted the anniversary of her birth as a day of national rejoicing.It was the first holiday of the year lending itself seasonably to outdoor sports and picnics.Naturally it became a generally celebrated festival.Eventually it was the custom to open the day with the crash of firecrackers and wind-up in a blaze of pyrotechnics.May 24, which is always observed with keen interest by the people of the Eastern Townships, is a keenly-anticipated day for sportsmen.I:\tthe day when young and old rejoice in the rejuvenation of mother earth.Young school children look forward to it with eager anticipation.Older pupils and students set aside, for the day at least, the worries and cares of approaching examinations.It is an occasion when men, women and children of all ages are drawn together in the spirit of celebrating and holidaying.Down through the passing years the name and memory of Queen Victoria has held a high place in the hearts of her people.The passing years will not change these loyal sentiments.While Canada has been and always will be ever ready to openly proclaim us loyal:y and allegiance to His Majesty the King and to proudly boast of its association with the British Commonwealth of Nations, this Dominion will ever continue to cherish with love and gratitude the memory of the gracious lady who ascended the British throne at a tender age and ruled with wisdom and love until age had whitened her hair and she became as she is lies: remembered today, a kindly old lady who gave her people everything within her power for their welfare and happiness.EXPLAINS ADULT TRAINING POLICIES OF GOVERNMENT Dr.W.P.Percival Outlines to Toronto Gathering Work Being Carried on in

Been Bitten, and when Physician Was Finally Called It Was Too Late.Ottawa, May 23.\u2014One of Canada\u2019s biggest manufacturers appeared before the parliamentary mass buying committee today and appealed for more government intervention in business.It was C.H.Carlisle, president of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of Toronto.The rubber manufacturer suggested industrial associations, supervised by the government, to control prices, regulate wages and cost standards and generally to establish fair business practices for tire industry.The Carlisle plan wouid be revolutionary because it would mean repeal of Canada\u2019s anti-combines law, regarded for years as lire bulwark against exploitation.The strength of the Carlisle industrial set-up would depend upon the effectiveness of the government supervision, its author candidly \u2022old the parliamentary committee.There were inherent weaknesses :n it, but \u2018\u2018there are certain conditions existing at present, especially under the unsettled conditions in Canada and tho world, that cannot be handled unless you have policing by the government.\u201d The Dominion Government, Mr.Carlisle suggested, should step in and help industries adjust conditions which they apparently could not change themselves.But he would not go so far as th# American N.R.A.He did not believe' industrial codes were necessary.\u201cI think they have gone too far\u2014 into the details of an industry.It is the difference between policing an industry and operating it.I think the N.R.A.has gone too far, entering the operation of an industry.\u201d Probing into the secrets of business in an attempt to find a cure for some of the economic ills of the country, the House of Commons committee on price spreads and: mass buying is in
