[" torbrook?iailii Iwnrù Established 1897.A POUCY OF\u2018BANDS OFF BUSINESS\u2019 ENUNCIATED BY PREMIER BENNETT -\u2014.\tj, Although Unemployment Relief Act Will Clothe Ministry With Power to Loan Money or Make Guarantees to Public or Private Corporations, It Will Be Used Only in Cases of National Emergency\u2014Hon.R.J.Manion Accused Liberals of Nearly Wrecking C.N.R., of Using It as a \u201cPolitical Club\u201d and Loading It With \u201cUseless and Foolish Expenditures.\u201d Ottawa, May 10.\u2014Premier R.B.Bennett enünciated to the House of Commons yesterday a policy of \u201chands off business enterprises.\u201d Although the Unemployment Relief Act would clothe the ministry with power,to loan money or make guarantees to public or private corporations, it would be used only in the most emergent situations where national credit was at stake.But, he added, there were enterprises whose solidarity affected the whole financial fabric of Canada and \u201cno one would contemplate disaster overtaking some of them without using every possible effort to prevent it.\u201d The Prime Minister\u2019s statement climaxed a heavy day in the House.Nationalization of radio broadcasting w\u2019as recommended in a report submitted early in the day by a special committee that has been investigating the industry for some time.Then the House turned to-reviewing the Unemployment Relief Act, gave it second reading, and | discussed it for some time clause by clause in committee.But progress, was stormy and verbal fireworks broke out several times.As recommended in the committee report, the Government-owned radio system would be controlled by a commission of three.It would be financed by license fees and advertising.Existing stations would be absorbed gradually, possibly over a seven-year period.It was recommended, however, that coast-to-coast chain broadcasts be commenced at once.Location of high power stations would be determined by technical survey.British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec each would s^'-ure a 50,000 watt station.For Saskatchewan and Alberta, two 5,000 watt stations were proposed for each, synchronized to operate on a common channel.For the three Maritime Provinces, Sfc- two alternatives were suggested, 1 one giving each province a 500 watt ! station and the other to place one | 50.000\twatt station in a central lo-j cation.In addition to these key | stations, the committee would place 1.000\twatt stations in northern Ontario, western Ontario, Port Arthur, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec and a 500 watt station in Toronto.In connection with the report the Prime Minister announced the willingness of the United States to1 make sufficient readjustments of.wave lengths and broadcasting \\ channels, to make the Canadian j scheme feasible.Hon.R.J.Manion, Minister of) Railways, provided most of the fire-1 works on the Unemployment Relief | Act.He accused the Liberals of | \u201cnearly wrecking\u201d the Canadian j National Railway, of using it as a \u201cpolitical club\u201d and loading it with! \u201cuseless and foolish expenditures\u201d j in connection with hotels, steam-j ships and branch lines.The relief bill, said Rt.Hon.Mac-1 kenzie King, was an admission on | the part of the ministry of its \u201ccomplete failure to deal with the unemployment problem in a constructive way.\u201d It had substituted \"a ! policy of doles for a constructive j policy of public works,\u201d he said,; referring to the broad principle, adopted this year of foeusling | activity on direct relief.The Liberal leader prompted dis- j cussion of Canadian National Rail-1 way affairs when he charged that railway ties had been purchased with unemployment relief funds this year ¦ without calling for tenders and \u201cthe ! contractors were practically allj immediate friends of the administration.\u201d In a general defence of the unemployment relief record of his Government, the Prime Minister j said wide powers were sought be-j cause \u201cit is the only method by; which we can meet the difficulties,: seme of which are seen, some of j which we cannot anticipate and j some of which we hope will be less serious than people would have us believe.\u201d Only in a national emergency, said Mr.Bennett, would the Government move to the defence of business enterprises through loans or guarantees.Although Beauharnois had; not been in the minds of the Gov-1 ernment when the clause was draft-J ed, an emergency might arise in onnection with this development to prompt Government assistance.In ; a general way, any assistance' granted would be through established agencies, such as banks, he added.WIDE GROUND COVERED IN DEBATE ON RELIEF BILL \u2014 Ottawa, May 10.\u2014In some manner only known to the minds of the members of the Canadian House of Commons, Lord Byng, the constitution, the Canadian National Railways, Premier Taschereau and many other individuals become important factors in the passage or defeat of the Government Unemployment Relief Act.Of course, the Canadian National Railways and Premier Taschereau might he explained, as the Canadian National employ several thousand men.who are paid by the government, while the provincial governments, one of which is headed by Premier Taschereau, will doubtless administer the relief provided by the federal government.But where Lord Byng and the constitution come in has not been determined.The bill, introduced for second reading yesterday by Hon.Wesley Gordon, Minister of Labor and Mines, received a rather stormy P > .sage before this approval was given.Bloquent tributes to the assassinated President of the French Republic.from party leaders and the (Continued on Page Six.) NEW ZEALAND DISTURBANCES ARE SUBDUED Fifty Hoodlums Who Broke Away from Parade of Unemployed Had Little Success in Stirring Up Trouble.Wellington, New Zealand, May 10.\u2014A recurrence of disorders this evening resulted in the smashing of a hundred and fifty plate-glass windows in Wellington by a mob of fifty hoodlums who detached themselves from a big parade of unemployed men outside the Parliament Buildings.The police arrested many of the rioters and quickly had the situation under control.The disturbance was in no way comparable to that in Auckland some weeks ago, when hundred's of rioters caused great property damage in a series, of outbursts which kept the city in an uproar for some days.Three thousand unemployed men of Wellington marched on Parliament House today i:.order to protest against the conditions of work being carried out as a relief measure.J.G.Coates, Minister of Employment, agreed to receive a small deputation in his office, whereupon the leaders of the unemployed appealed to the crowd to disperse quietly.The great bulk of the crowd did disperse but a group of fifty took advantage of the fact the police were fully occupied in watching the dispersal to concentrate and rush dowm into the business section of the city.There many shops windows were smashed and a little looting was attempted before the police were on the scene.The police in the business district were reinforced after the arrest of the rioters and within a short time the situation was quiet, with no indications of any further trouble.A feature of the proceedings was the absence of any general mob passion such as marked the disturbances in Auckland., GRANT RECIPROCAL TERMS TO ONTARIO TRUCK OWNERS Order-in-Council Provides for Ontario Truckers Operating in Quebec Without License.Quebec, May 10.\u2014A copy of an Order-in-Council, concerning motor vehicles of the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, signed towards the end of la.st month, appears in the current issue of the Quebec Official Gazette.In accordance with this Order-in-Council, t h e provincial Treasurer recommends that the same privileges as those granted to trucklers of the province of Quebec by the :(law of the province of Ontario be i granted to truckers of that province ! operating here, provided that they I conform to restrictions imposed by I the Motor Vehicle Act a.s to the j weight of vehicles.The notice states that the High-'u-ays Traffic Act of the province of Ontario grants truckers of the province of Quebec the privilege of operating their machines on the high-uays of Ontario without requiring that they register or take out licences to drive them, on condition that they do not carry on business in that province for a period exceeding three months.*.* I TWENTY-TWO KILLED I WHEN TORNADO TORE ! ROOF OFF JAIL BUILDING Calcutta, India, May 10.\u2014 I Twenty-two guards and prison- I ers were killed and thirty-five seriously injured today in an outbreak which occurred at the jail at Mymensingh, Bengal, when a tornado blew the roof off the building.Sixty-five others were less seri usly hurt and two hundred convicts, incltidir \u2022 many political prisoners described as dangerous, escaped.Armed police were scouring the vicinity trying to round up the jail\u2019s fleeing population.I FOREIGN TRADE IMPORTANT TO GREAT BRITAIN Manchester Chamber of Commerce Warns Against Economic Conference Taking Too Great an \u201cAnti-Foreign\u201d Attitude.London, May 10.\u2014The necessity of Britain\u2019s representatives at the Imperial Economic Conference, while working for increased Empire trade, stressing that Britain\u2019s trade with foreign nations remains of vital importance k again being urged, this time by the Manchester Chamber of Commerce.While reiterating its hopes for the success of the Economic Conference which meets in Ottawa in July, the Manchester body emphasizes \u201cfrom the viewpoint of Britain the fact has to be faced that our existing export trade in foreign markets k of great size and importance and it would be fatal for us to embark on a policy which would place it in jeopardy\u2014without adequate assurances that any trade thus lost would be replaced in other directions.\u201d The Chamber condemns as highly inimical to the best interests of Britain the tendency it finds m some quarters to regard the Ottawa Conference as purely \u201canti-foreign.\u201d The aim should not be the exclusion of foreign trade, but the stimulation of inrta-Empire trade,\u201d the Manchester chamber sa ye.\u201cUnless both the United Kingdom and the Dominions statesmen recognize these and similar facts the Ottawa Conference from a trade standpoint trill not stand the test of time.\u201d The Manchester Chamber of Commerce will send accredited representatives as observers of the conference, but its documentary case has not yet been presented.LANCASTER WAS INDICTED FOR FIRST DEGREE MURDER Accused of Shooting Haden Clarke, Fiance of Mrs.Jessie Keith-Miller, Australian Flyer.Miami, Fla., May 10.\u2014Captain W.N.Lancaster, former British army aviator, has been indicted for first degree murder in the strange shooting of Haden Clarke, fiance of his flying partner, Mrs.Jessie Keith-Miller, Australian avi-atrix The true bill against Lancaster was returned by the Dade County grand jury yesterday, a ¦week after his arrest on a.murder warrant, and Judge H.F.Atkinson ordered the flyer held without bail for trial at the circuit court term opening today.The accused man accepted notification of his indictment calmly.\u201cWell, I\u2019m innocent until I\u2019m proven guilty,\u201d he told a deputy sheriff after refusing to see newspapermen in his cell.Clarke, twenty-six year old author, wras fatally shot with a pistol owned by Lancaster on April 21st.He and Mrs.Keith-Miller, whose life story he was writing for publication, and at whose home he lived, became engaged while Lancaster, formerlv her fiance and for five years her flying partner, was in St.Louis on business.They wrote Lancaster of their plans to marry, but he telegraphed them to delay the ceremony until he could arrive to be best man.He.came here by plane and twelve hours later Clarke was fatally wounded.japanesI^ârmTdTvision IS REMOVED TO MANCHURIA Was Recently Ordered Withdrawn from Shanghai, Where It Had Been Sent to Qell Banditry.Tokyo.May 10.\u2014The War Office announced today that the 14th Japanese Army Division, recently ordered withdrawn from Shanghai, had been sent to Manchuria.The announcement said the main force of the division already had landed at Dairen and was proceeding to its allotted stations.The sending of the additional division was made necessary, it is said, by the widespread reign of banditry and the activities of other lawless elements in Manchuria.SHERBROOKE, CANADA.TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1932.PRESIDENCY OF FRANCE FALLS TO ALBERT LE BRUN, HEAD OF SENATE Friend and Confidant of Raymond Poincare, New President Was Given Overwhelming Majority in First Vote of National Assembly\u2014Has Had Long Career in Service of France.CANADIAN DOLLAR HELD { STEADY AT NEW YORK Marseilles, France, May 10.\u2014 Albert Francois LeBrun today was elected fourteenth president of the French Republic, succeeding Paul Doumer, who was assassinated last Friday.He won by an overwhelming majority on the first ballot.Unofficial tabulation showed a total of 448 votes for M.LeBrun in 628 cast.M.LeBrun is sixty years of age.In politics for thirty years, he has been something of a protege of Raymond Poincare, the old master, and in a way his election to the presidency will carry the war-time president\u2019s influence back into the Elysee Palace.Only a few days ago _ M.Poincare, battling what may possibly be his last illness, declared he refused to doom himself to perpetual retirement.Albert Francois LeBrun comes from the Department of Meurthe and Moselle, which often-has had a favorite son in the running for the office of President of the Republic.If M.LeBrun were from the south of France, like former President Gaston Doumergue, he would probably have had much less chance of occupying the President\u2019s seat in the Elysee Palace, but regionalism brought him into the forefront of presidential candidates.M.LeBrun is an old friend of Raymond Poincare, former president and former premier, statesman and financial expert and probably the greatest public figure remaining in France.During LeBrun\u2019s thirty years in politics, he has frequently been Poincare\u2019s choice, and he was Poincare\u2019s choice for the presidency.Since 1900, when he was first elected to the Chamber of Deputies, M.LeBrun has had an active political career.His greatest achievement has been his leadership of the Sinking Fund Commission.Poincare placed LeBrun at the head of the Commission, and that institution for reducing the national debt was Poincare\u2019s favorite child.Poicare\u2019s influence is also probably ohiefly responsible for the fact that M.LeBrun is president of the General Council of Meurthe-Moselle.But LeBrun is not merely a shadow of the great Poincare.He was three times Minister of Colonies, a post in the French Ministry long regarded covetously, having held this portfolio in 1911, 1912 and 1913.Later, in 1913, he became Minister of War, but gave way to Alexandre Millerand.M.LeBrun was appointed Minister of Blockade in 1917, and in 1918 became Minister for the Liberated Regions.In 1921 LeBrun was elected to the Senate, and for the past deeade has been an active member of the French Conservative party, more correctly known as the Group Union Républicaine.In particular, as watch dog of the sinking fund, he has earned a reputation for carefulness and probity which Poincare himself could hardly have surpassed.New York, May 10.\u2014A downward trend in sterling marked trading early today in British currencies on local foreign exchanges.The pound ! declined one cent to $3.67% in United States funds.The Canadian dollar held steady at 8914 cents, unchanged from the previous close.EARTHQUAKE CAUSED SLIGHT DAMAGE.Santiago, Chile, May 10.\u2014There was a sharp earthquake at about seven o\u2019clock this morning.It lasted twenty seconds but the damage was slight.MOTOR VEHiaE ACT SUBJECTED TO AMENDMENTS Order-in-Council Designates the Loads Which Shall Be Carried by Motor Trains on Highways, RATHER MIXED RECEPTION FOR RADIO REPORT Sir John Aird Describes Recommendations as Victory for Canada and Empire\u2014Broadcasting Officials Predict Difficulties.Montreal, May 10.\u2014In the report of the parliamentary committee on radio broadcasting tabled yesterday in the House of Commons and recommending a nationally-controlled system of broadcasting, had a mixed reception by officials of broadcasting companies and others who commented today.Sir John Aird, head of the 1929 Royal Commission on radio broadcasting, said the members of the committee should be congratulated for their recommendations, which he described as a victory for the Empire and for Canada.It v'ould guard against control of the air falling into the hands of foreigners, he contended.R.W.Ashcroft, the general manager of the Trans-Canada Broadcasting Company, at Toronto, said he foresaw difficulties in early-carrying out the committee\u2019s recommendations if revenue was to be confined to receipts from radio license fees.Arthur Dupont, manager of the Montreal station, operated by La Presse, said inadequate attention had been paid by the committee report to broadcasting for French-speaking Canadians.Graham Spry, chairman of the Canadian Radio League, said \u201cthe public has wron a triumph.\u201d The report, if adopted, he said, would make immediately possible coast to coast programmes.He approved provision of funds through license fees only as a wise measure of economy.NO PROFIT FOR SHIP OWNERS IN GRAIN TRAFFIC Farmers, Grain Exporters and Lake Steamship Operators Face Stoppage in Flow by Water of Wheat and Other Grain FIRE AT PORT ALFRED IS NOW ALMOST DRENCHED OUT s Precautionary Measure, However, Powerful Pumps Will Continue to Spray Wood Pile to Prevent Further Outbreaks.Chicoutimi, Que., May 10.\u2014The fire which has been raging in the vast pile of pulpwood near the mill at Port Alfred, Que., during the past twelve days, has been almost drenched out.Reports from the scene today said that of the original 250,000 cords of wood, the company expects only between 30,000 and 40,000 cords will be of use in the operation of the mill.The entire pile was valued at $3,000,000.A white smoke continues to rise from the charred heap which the dredge General Montcalm is still deluging with water from her powerful pumps.A score of hose streams are also being played on it to make certain that there will be no chance of the flames springing up afresh should a high wind devel op.It is the intention of mill otfi-cials to continue this spraying of the burnt pile for at least another three days.The heavy pump which a detachment of Quebec firemen brought to the scene a week ago last .Snturdav was placed on a flat car last night Montreal, May TO.\u2014 Farmers, grain exporters and lake steamship operators face a stoppage in the flow by water of wheat and other grain towards the eastern seaboard of Canada, as a result of the further fall of rates for the transportation of this commodity from the head of the lakes to Montreal.The situation, in the opinion of several individuals vitally interested in the movement of grain, is now so serious that it has become a \u201cfarce.\u201d The price now being offered for the carriage of a bushel of wheat is so low that the shipowner is unable to obtain sufficient revenue to pay the cost of operating his vessels.Profit, it is 1 maintained, has passed temporarily from consideration.Five cents a bushel is the rate now being offered for the transportation of heavy grain from 'the head of the lakes to Montreal and it was even reported in certain circles yesterday that a rate of 4% cents a bushel have been offered.It was not accepted, however, the shipowner having indicated that it would be preferable and less costly to lay up his boat.Not since 1915 has so low a rate prevailed.The railway situation in the United States, with resulting action by roads in this country, is credited with responsibility for this decline.Several years ago the American railways carried grain from Buffalo to New York for 9.10 cents per bushel and the Canadian lines at that time quoted 8.60 cents per bushel for the haul from Georgian Bay ports to Montreal, and another half cent for the additional distance in winter from Saint John to Halifax.\u201cThen President Hoover, it is explained, cut two cents from this rate in order to assist the farmer.His action did not assist the agricultural community, it is claimed, and the railway companies started to lose money.Recently,.however, the rate was again cut, this time to about 4.5 cents per bushel and the Canadian lines had to do likewise, their rate being four cents at the present time for the transportation of a bushel of grain from Georgian Bay ports to Montreal.\u201cThis sudden decrease naturally resulted in a cut by the lake steamship operators who only received about 7 1-2 cent® per_ bushel at the start of this season instead of the 10 1-2 to 11 cents to which they are normally accustomed at that period of the year.Not even the 7 1-2 cent rate has been maintained, and five cents is being refused by certain lines.Quebec, Que., May 10.\u2014A further amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act concerning motor trains, contained in an order-in-council appearing in the current issue of the Quebec Official Gazette, designates the loads which shall be carried on highways.These motor trains may not exceed two units and in the case of a trailer or truck which has one driving axle, with single wheels or of a semi-trailer also with single wheels, the total weight of both units, loaded, shall not exceed 10,000 pounds, which must he distributed as follows: 4,000 pounds on front axle, from 4,640 to 5,280 pounds on rear axle and from 6,720 to 7,360 pounds on the axle of the semitrailer.In the case of a tractor or truck which has one driving axle with twin wheels, and of a semi-trailer also with twin wheels, the total weight of both units loaded shall not exceed 24,000\tpognds distribute^ as follows: j 6,000 pounds on front axle of tractor j or truck, 6,960 to 7,000 pounds on (the driving axle of the truck or tractor, 10,080 to 11,049 pounds on the axle of the semi-trailer.The speed limit and tax' on this class of vehicle shall be similar to that for motor vehicles used as public carriers.These vehicles must all be fitted with pneumatic tires and the pressures on the road surface must not at any time exceed 400 pounds per inch width of tires.ROARING DEMONSTRATION GREETS ITALIAN PREMIER GERMANY'S.UNEMPLOYED TOTAL 5,737,000 Berlin, May 10.\u2014Germany\u2019s unemployed on April 30th.numbered 5,737,000, a decrease of 197,000 in two weeks.and is expected to reach Quebec today.Large groups of workmen are now engaged in clearing away the debris around the.five and re-arranging affairs on the company\u2019s property prior to reopening the mill.Annual Meeting of Fascist University Students Addressed by Secretary of Fascist Party.Rome, May 10.\u2014 Several hundred Fascist university students greeted Premier Mussolini with a roaring demonstration today when II Duce, standing on the balcony of Venezia Palace, holding a book and a musket high in the air in each hand cried: \u201cThese are( our watchwords in the tenth year of the Fascist revolution.\u201d The students marched to the palace, in which are the Premier\u2019s offices, following their annual meeting which was addressed by Secretary Starace of the Fascist Party.The students cheered again when Mussolini said: \u201cSports contests were begun in the year of Garibaldi\u2019s anniversary to sharpen the spirit and muscles of Young Italy.\u201d WORLD BANKS CONTINUE CREDIT TO GERMANY Basel, Switzerland, May 10\u2014Three months\u2019 extension was.granted yesterday by the Bank for International Settlements of its one-fourth share in the $90,000,000 credit granted to j Germany in conjunction with the I Ranks of England and France and the American Federal Reserve.Payment was due on June 4th.\u2019 THE WEATHER # -* MOSTLY FAIR, PROBABLY SOME SHOWERS Pressure is low over the Great Lakes and off the Atlantic coast, also over the Mackenzie Valley, while an area of high pressure extends from the Northeastern States northeastward to Ungava.The weather has been unsettled with showers in Western Ontario and fair in nearly all other parts of the Dominion.Temperatures of 70 to SO degrees were general yesterday in the Western Provinces.Forecast: Moderate east and southeast winds; mostly fair tonight and Wednesday; probably some showers.New England: Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday, probably with some showers; slightly warmer Wednesday; moderate east to south winds.Temperature yesterday : Maximum 74, minimum 32.Same day last year : Maximum 69, minimum 50.Thirty-Sixth Year.AIRD EXPECTED TO GIVE VERSION OF DISPOSAL OF LARGE PAYMENTS Sweezey Declared $125,000 Given Aird Was Intended for Political Funds\u2014Denied, However, that Purchase of Additional $200,000 in Government Bonds Was Intended for Same Purpose\u2014Refused to State Where Money Had Been Placed.Toronto, May 10.\u2014Appearance of John Aird, Jr., in the witness box before the Royal Commission investigating Hydro-Electric Power Commission matters seemed likely today, as the Commission swung into its stride before Mr.Justice J.F.Orde.Mr.Aird, it is expected, will he asked to give his own version of the receipt of $12b,000 from the Beauharnois Power Corporation, money intended, as far as the corporation was concerned, for the Ontario Conservative party\u2019s war chest.R.0.Sweezey, former President of Beauharnois ; R.B.Griffiths, Secretary-Treasurer, and Coring Christie, a director, all took their turn in the box yesterday, with Messrs.Sweezey and Griffiths hoth reiterating previous evidence.The money had been given to Mr.Aird supposedly for the Conservative party, and Mr.Christie denying all knowledge of it until the matter was made public by the Parliamentary committee last summer.Too, Sweezey and Griffiths denied that $200,000 worth of Victory bonds, bought from the Montreal branch of the Dominion Securities Company7, had gone to the Ontario Conservative party as a contribution from Beauharnois.They made no secret of the fact that tho money had been used as a political contribution, but were emphatic in their statements it had not gone to an Ontario partv.First mention of the $200,000 came shortly before noon, when A.G.Slaght, K.C., independent counsel, intimated the corporation had purchased bonds to that value as further campaign fund contributions.He was ruled out of order by Mr.Justice J.F.Orde, the Royal Commissioner, who refused to allow further questioning along this line.BUDGET MAKES NO MENTION OF REPARATIONS Germaji Chancellor Expects to Weather Any Attacks from Opposition Parties.Berlin, May 10.\u2014 Reconvening after a recess of ten weeks, the German Reichstag yesterday found itself faced with a, budget which makes no provision for further re-Iparations payments.In listing expenditures for the coming year, Finance Minister Hermann Dietrich said 70i0,0'00,0i00 marks (^ICS.SO'O.OO'O) would be used for interest and amortization on funded floating debts and reparations loans\u2014which meant that while interest charges on the Dawes and Young loans would continue, no funds had been earmarked for further reparations.The Reichstag, exceptionally well-behaved after its recess, was informed that the Budget would balance with 8,300,000,0\u2018W) marks ($1,967,100,000) income.Another outstanding development of the first day of the session was a Communist demand for an investigation to determine whether any Germans were involved in scandals connected with the late Ivar Kreuger, Swedish industrialist.Because of the Whitsuntide holidays the session will last only four days.Before it is completed the Government will have to struggle against the usual batch of votes of non-confidence.Chancellor Heinrich Bruening expects to 'weather these attacks w7ith a safe majority.The recent election victories of Adolf Hitler\u2019s National Socialists affect state Diets only .and do not touch the Reichstag._ Finance Minister Hermann Diet-rich reported that the floating debt had been reduced in the last two years by 347,000,000 marks $82,- 239.000)\t, and the funded debt bv 300,000,000 marks ($71,100,000).The total funded debt, he said, now is 10,208,000,000 marks ($2,419,- 296.000)\t.Rudolf Breitscheid, Socialist, complimented the Finance Minister on the showing.He pointed out that the 1931 budget year ended with a deficit of 750,000,000 marks and said that tax receipts in 1931 fell 335,000,000 short of estimates.To overcome the depression and unemployment was .he first step toward political stability, Herr Breitscheid declared.He charged that the Hitlerites, with their private army and co: used economic programme, had fostered instability.A vote is expected tomorrow on the Communist demand for a Kreuger investigation to determine whether \u201c\u2018the Kreuger concern has spent huge sums as bribes for securing match monopolies\u201d which \u201copens the door to suspicions that the German match monopoly may have resulted from criminal manipulations.\u201d NOTED ENGINEER DIES New York, May 10.\u2014General William Barclay Parsons, one of the engineers of the Panama Canal and chief engineer of the Cape Cod Canal from 1905 to 1914, died yesterday in the Presbyterian Hospital.He was seventy-three years old.INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT.London, May 10.\u2014A rise in unemployment was shown by the monthly report of the Ministry of Labor, which recorded 84,000 more jobless than there were a month ago.Most of the unemployed are in the coal mining, cotton, wool, jute and hosiery industries.In the afternoon, however, W.N.Tilley, K.C., commission counsel, again referred to the $200,000 while Mr.Sweezey was on the stand.The inference should not be left, he thought, that the bonds had gone to the Conservative party, and Mr.Sweezey\u2019s statement followed.The name of George Kurdyk, of Montreal, was introduced into the probe yesterday when Mr.Slaght queried Mr.Sweezey regarding this man.The Beauharnois head declared he had helped Kurdyk in various business deals, but was no longer o* friendly terms with him.\u201cDid you ever remark to him \u2018Ferguson has struck me up for $350,-000?\u2019\u201d asked Mr.Slaght.(The Ferguson mentioned was Hon.G.Howard Ferguson, former Premier of Ontario and now High Commissioner to Great Britain.Mr.Ferguson recently testified before the Investigation, denying he had received Beauharnois moneys).\u201cThat is a deliberate falsehood,\u201d Mr.Sweezey replied.\u201cIt is made maliciously.\u201d George Hyde was another name mentioned and he too, according to witness, had made malicious and false statements.Mr.Slaght asked if Sweezey had told Hyde he could not pay him in connection with, a mining deal \u201cbecause I have to pay Ferguson $325,-000 in connection with a Hydro contract.\u201d The question of the $125,000 payment to Aird received considerable attention.Both Sweezey and Griffith insisted Aird had intimated to them .he was representing the Ontario Conservative party, and they, without close scrutiny of his credentials, had paid him $120,000 in bonds and the balance in cash.Since Aird had \u201cput over the Madawaska deal,\u201d and was a son of Sir John Aird, president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, they said, they had concluded he was acting for the Conservative party in requesting a donation of 50 cents per horsepower should tho Beauharnois Corporation receive the Hydro contract.Originally, according to Sweezey, Aird had asked for $1 per horsepower, or $250,000.This was regarded as too steep, and after the contract was signed they had given Aird $125,000 in Montreal.Aird had used an \u201cenvelope term\u201d to give him the impression he was an emissary from the political party, said Mr.Sweezey.But he could not recall just what the exact term was.He did not know7, nor did Mr.Griffiths, whether Aird was affiliated with the Conservative or Liberal party politically.There was considerable laughter as the scene of the Montreal meeting was described.\u201cThere were some very significant nods as the money was paid over,\u201d declared Mr.Sweezey.with him, Griffiths and Aird all \u201cnodding.\u201d The actual date the bonds were pur-chased for Aird provided some difficulty, and Griffith promised today to send thé books of the Beauharnois Company to the Royal Commission for scrutiny.He declared no receipt had been requested from Aird, because \u201cI thought it was a political subscription and it was not customary to get receipts for that kind of thing.\u201d Loring G.Christie, a director of Beauharnois, declared he had no knowledge of the Aird payment, until the parliamentary committee report was made public last year.He had never been consulted ;n any manner, he declared, regarding the

spare.It was quite possible that all three\u2014certainly two of the conferences\u2014 would be sitting at the same time.He was sure that when the House of Commons realized the difficulty it would

Canadians, ourselves included, could subscribe to it more whole-heartedly if these orators would kinthy point out in dispassionate and crystal terms just what American civilization is.For looking upon the American picture with the detached viewpoint of a foreigner and from the perspective afforded by a boundary line which, while unblemished by guns or fortresses, still, offers pretty substantial protection to the composite American, the average Canadian is forced to the conclusion that such a hodge podge of ideals, such a contradictory set of habits and such a variety of manners were never before seen on God\u2019s green earth.We offer this reflection not by any means in the spirit of criticism, but entirely in the spirit of enquiry.This generation has seen Americans, inspired by Woodrow Wilson, offer idealistic leadership to the 'world.But it has also seen Americans, inspired by demagogues, shrink away from world responsibilities and play the moral craven in international affairs.It has been Americans, collectively, play Shylock to the world.But it has also seen Americans, individually, perform the finest acts of charity and generosity that have ever embellished the history of mankind.It has seen American millionaires support bloody wars with money out of one pocket and build fine great hospitals abroad with money out of the other.It has seen Americans vote dry and drink wet.It has seen industrialists treat their employees with the finest justice and then wink at the antics of a corrupt judiciary.It has been said on very good literary authority that a nation may be known by the heroes it creates.Just who an/I what are the greatest American heroes?Thousands of American hoys would give their good right eyes to shake hands with any big wholesome football star.And yet thousands of American girls will write mash notes and send flowers to any drug rat who happens to commit a particularly spectacular and atrocious murder.Millions will cheer Lindbergh and the narrow-eyed Rudy Vallee in the same breath.And they will thrill equally to the preaching of a man like Mark Mathews of Seattle and the nasal spewing of some pestilential radio he-shrew in New York.Who are the American heroes ?Edison was admired by his countrymen to the point of reverence.But so is the greasy and overstuffed Alphonse Capone.Americans revere wealth more than Midas did.But they also revere Lincoln because he once split rails.They laugh at royalty, scorn titles and ridicule pomp.But nine out of ten of them join lodges where they are allowed to dress up like Mrs.Astor\u2019s horse and be known by fancy titles that would embarrass a Congo chief.In no other place in the world but democratic United States would such a monstrosity of pomp and nomenclature as the Ku Klux Klan have been received with other than Homeric laughter.There is no queerer mixture of selfishness and self-sacrifice, virtue and vice, happiness and despair, high-mindedness and vulgarity, democracy and snobbery, frankness and hypocrisy, meanness and generosity, greatness and littleness than in the United States of America.A geniune cross section of American life would, as the saying goes, give a snake a headache.American civilization is the greatest jigsaw puzzle in the world.And instead of setting out to save it, these fervent politicians would do better to set out to put it together.LIBBYTOWN Recent guests at Mr .C.W.Libby\u2019s were Mr.Benjamin Smith, of Boston, Mass., Mrs.Ralph Smith and Mrs.Willis Cross, of Derry, N.H Mrs.Albert Pope and Mrs.Fritz Pope, of

Germany Unless Reparations Payments Are Eased.A woman does not enjoy a club very much unless it contains one disagreeable member that she can talk about.Berlin, May 10.\u2014Germany \u201ccannot pay reparations,\u201d Chancellor Heinrich Bruening served notice on the world yesterday.He also predicted that the European financial conference at Lausanne a month hence will lead the way to either world recovery or world collapse.Addressing German provincial correspondents on the Government\u2019s foreign policy, the Chancellor criticized the statesmen of the world for \u201clacking courage\u201d and warned that \u201cthe peoples of the world won\u2019t wait any longer.\u201d \u201cThe Lausanne conference,\u201d the head of the German Cabinet declared, \u201cwill either be the road sign pointing the way to new life or a milestone leading to collapse.\u201cThere must be and end at last to our sacrifices.The world must realize we simply can not pay reparations.\u201cThe Lausanne results will determine what fate is in store for Germany and the whole world\u2014 whether the world will continue to sink into misery or finally land on solid ground on which alone an epoch of reconstruction can be started.\u201cThe eyes of all good-willed men are on Lausanne in a spirit of hope and yearning, impatience and demand.\u201d He said the world statesmen lacked tbe courage to tell their peoples the facts as they are and warned that their aid may be too late if delayed.\u201cDon\u2019t they realize that the de-mon-like spirits of negation and destruction are gaining ground?\" he asked.\u201cWe cannot wait longer because the people of the world won\u2019t wait longer.We need not a multiplicity of conferences but of deeds.\u201d The Chancellor then took up his own attitude in dealing with the representatives of foreign powers.\u201cI realize clearly that I can obtain the maximum for Germany only if at the same time I can prove that Germany\u2019s aims coincide with the enlightened self-interest of the world \u201cThe tragedy of the Versailles Treaty lies in the fact that some nations though they could secure for themselves all good fortune, while all misfortune was to be left to the defeated.\u201cThis false and unnatural conception of peace has been proven completely wrong by post-war events.Unless there can be a change the world will ever be pushed deeper into the horrible misery known as the economic crisis and unemployment.\u201d Dr.Bruening held that mutual confidence could not be established so long as there was inequality between the victors and vanquished in the World War.\u201cAll Germany rightly 'rises up,\u201d he said, \u201cagainst the injustice of our being prevented the exercise of what every nation claims as its highest and most natural right, that of determining measure for the security of our homes.\u201cGermany desires no special privileges in armaments She simply demands equality\u201d The Chancellor referred to Ger- many\u2019s neighbors as bristlini with armaments.He mentioned as a hopeful sign the diappearance of a spirit of hatred toward Germany, which he said Germans encountered for years after the conclusion of the war.BURY The altar and sanctuary in St.Paul\u2019s Church on Sunday last were profusely and beautifully decorated with red roses, tulips, snapdragons, lilies and hydrangeas given by

COL.STOCKWELL ENJOYEDALONG MILITARY LIFE ACTION OVER .$1,000 NOTE HEARD TODAY Popular Figure in Military Activities of Eastern Townships Succeeded by Col.M.L.Brady After commanding the Eastern Townships\u2019 Cavalry Brigade Jor five years and four months, the tenure of command of Col.R.F.Stockwell, K.C., V.D., M.P.P., of Cowansville, terminated recently and he has now been transferred to the Reserve of Officers with the rank of substantive colonel.The 4th Mounted Brigade, universally known as the Eastern Townships\u2019 Cavalry Brigade, is composed of the VII Hussars with headquarters at Bury, now commanded by Lt.-Col.G.C.Beard, E.D.; XI Hussars with headquarters at Richmond, formerly commanded by Lt.-Col.M.L.Brady, M.C., and now under the command of Lt.-Col.Philip Johnston, D.C.\tM., and the Qu* en\u2019s Own Canadian Hussars with headquarters at Quebec City, now under the command of Lt.-Col.J.H.Price, M.C.Col.Stockwell has been actively associated with the Militia of Canada since he enlisted in the ranks of the old 54th Battalion in 1903.He was gazetted Lieutenant in the XI Hussars when the 54th Battalion was converted into cavalry, then promoted to the rank of Captain and Adjutant on April 1st 1910; to Major commanding \u201cA\u201d Squadron, XI Hussars on July 21st 1911, and to Major second in command XI Hussars on March 1st, 1913.Colonel Stockwell was one of the original officers of the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles.He was gazetted Major of that overseas battalion on January 4th, 1915.He saw active service in France and Flanders from October 1915 to February llTl6 and subsequently held various appointments in England, including command of the Fort Garry Horse Reserve Regiment and D.\tA.A.G.on Headquarters Staff Canadian Training Division at Bram-shott, England.He was brought to the notice of the Secret.ary-of-State for War for valuable services rendered in connection with the War and was mentioned in War Office despatches on February 24th, 1917.He was finally invalided to Canada as medically unfit for further military service on June 22nd, 1918.For his services during the War he was awarded the 1914-15 _ star, General Service

his profession as an advocate, with the late Honourable G.H.Boivin, K.C., M.P., and was associated with him until Mr.Boivin\u2019s death in 192G.In 1920, Colonel Stockwell was promoted to the rank of Lieute-nant-Çolonel and was requested to re-organize the XI Hussars, which had been almost wiped out by the War.He commanded XI Hussars until 1924 and was later promoted to the rank of Colonel to command the Eastern Townships Cavalry Brigade, retaining the command of the Brigade until March 31st 1932.Colonel Stockwell has been succeeded by another popular Eastern Townships\u2019 soldier in the person of Lt.-Col.M.L.Brady, M.C., of Ulver-ton, who assumed the command of the Brigade on April 1st, 1932.Colonel Brady has also had a distinguished record of service both in the Militia and in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.He enlisted in the ranks of the XI Hussars in 1904 and was promoted to the rank of Regimental Sergeant-Major in April 1909.Col.Brady first became a commissioned officer by his appointment as Provisional Lieutenant in 1910.He was promoted to the rank of Captain in 1913 and to that of Major in 1921.During the Great War he enlisted in the 117th Battalion and was gazetted Lieutenant in this famous Eastern Townships Battalion in 1916.On proceeding overseas he was transferred to the 171st Battalion and served in France and Flanders with the 13th Battalion Royal Highlanders of Canada from April 1917 until he was severely wounded on August 8th, 1918.For gallantry and devotion to duty in action he was awarded the Military Cross.After the War and on the re-organization of the XI Hussars he served as Major commanding \u201cA\u201d Squadron.He was later promoted to the rank of second in command of XI Hussars and finally gazetted to command XI Hussars with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel, on April 1st, 1928.Following the War this Brigade trained on the Exhibition Grounds at .Sherbrooke during the summer of 1928, which was the first reunion of all the units in the Brigade since the War.At that time the Eastern Townships Mounted Rifles was included in the Brigade but this regi ment now forms part of 3rd Mounted Brigade, having been replaced by the Queen\u2019s Own Canadian Hussars of Quebec.The F.astern Townships\u2019 Cavalry Brigade has produced many distinguished soldiers including the late Lt.-Col.G.II.Baker, K.C., M.P.;

$1,010.44 in the Superior Court This Morning.Two judgments were rendered by Mr.Justice C.D.White in the Superior Court today in favor of | Louis Casdim, of this city, and of Mathias Fournier, also Of Sherbrooke.'Casdim was aw-arded ?1, ¦ 010.44, the full amount of his claim, and Fournier $250, the amount ho demanded.Louis Casdim claimed $1,-010.44 from Charles Joachim, of the Township of Orford, partly as the value of a note the, latter signed in favor of Dame Lillian Jones and which was later endorsed over to Casdim.Casdim alleged that Joachim, the defendant, signed a note for $1,000 in favor of Dame Lillian Jones, payable at one month from the date, that is to say April 9, 1931, with interest at seven per cent.The note was endorsed over to Casdim and duly presented by him on the specified date.The note was not paid, however, and was immediately protested by the plaintiff.Casdim demanded that Joachim be ordered to pay him the $1,000, $7.38 interest and $3.06 as lawyer\u2019s fees, a total of $1,010.44.Mathias Fournier\u2019s case wts against Isaac Roy, of Stoke.Fournier in his declaration alleged that had been chosen by Roy to sell a certain property for the sum of

will have a nationally-owned Radio broadcasting system if the report tabled in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon is implemented Parliament.The report, presented by Hon.Dr.Raymond Morand, (Conservative, Essex East), and bearing the endorsement of the entire committee of nine members, recommends the establishment , of.a paid Federal Commssion of three members, to direct the operations of the proposed system, and the gradual acquisition or erection of such stations as will be necessary for complete coverage of all Canada.The report, which was brief and left the working out of details to the Commission, pays tribute to the present radio broadcasting stations in the foliowing words: \u201cThey en tered as pioneers in a field of service in the art of radio, and, under trying handicaps and sacrifices, worthily kept pace with a science fraught with ever changing improvements and developments, and rendered this service under handi caps which is most praiseworthy.\u201d The committee expressed the belief, however, \u201cthat the present system, excellent as it is in certain respects, does not meet the requirements in quality and scope of broadcasting, to ensure its maximum benefits\u2019\u201d Highlights of the report are as follows : Establishment of a chain of high power national stations located at suitable intervals across Canada, their exact position to be determined after a careful technical survey.Appointment of a Federal Commission of three, with assistant commissioners for each province, \u201cto carry on the business of broadcasting.\u201d Establishment of trans-Canada chain broadcasting as \u201cone of the first duties\u201d of the Commission.Advertising to be limited to not more than five per cent of each programme period.Location, where required and under private ownership if desired, of as many stations of 100 watts or under as may be deemed necessary for complete coverage.All revenues from license fees and advertising to he expended in the interests of radio, and license fees to be fixed by the Governo»-in-Council.Dr.Morand will move concurrence of the report on Wednesday and it is anticipated that a bill based on the report will be introduced by Hon.Alfred Duran-leau.Minister of Marine, under whosq department radio is administered.The report, in part, was as follows: \u201cIn accordance with the duties and responsibilities delegate to us, and the terms of reference submitted, your committee met on March 8th, and since that time held twenty-seven meetings, heard evidence and received briefs anti submissions from fifty-three sources, including governments, individuals, corporations, associations, leagues and clubs.\u201cY'our committee was seized, from the inception, of the national importance and international character of radio broadcasting, and the evidence submitted has served jto further consolidate our opinion I o f the far-reaching scope and bene-j fits of proper, well-regulated ¦ \u2022roadcasting services throughout Canada as a medium of education, thought-provoking developipents and ¦ -tering of Canadian ideals and culture, entertainment, news ser-| .itc and publicity of this country hnd its products, and as an auxil-I ary to religious and educational teaching; also as one of the most ci ficient mediums for developing a greater national and Empire consciousness within the Dominion and the British Commonwealth of Nations.Country and Dairy Produce Prices \u2014 » Ottawa, Ont., May 10.\u2014Asbestos shipments from Canada in March showed a 16.0 per cent, recovery to
