Speech!\u2019\u2019 Mr.Duplessis had j\t______ only a few words to say.They were all embraced in two sentences, \u201cI | Quebec, Oct.5.\u2014 Premier L.A.thank you sincerely for the nomination.I have nothing more to say at j Taschereau has made a rejoinder to present, but I believe Mr.Gagnon wishes to say Mr.Gagnon was then promptly given the floor.\u201cMy chief,he opened, addressing Mr.Duplessis as the audience roared its approval, \u201cMy efforts to take the leadership have met with failure, but I will fight as a loyalist in the ranks.I can assure you, Mr.Future Premier,\u201d loud cheering, \u201cthat I and my followers will give you loyal support in the fight on the common enemy.The Conservative party is not split.Its spirit is invigorated and intact.\u201d His remarks were cut rather short 1>y the arrival of Hon.Alfred Duran-leau, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who brought to the new leader the congratulations of the Federal Conservatives.After a few brief remarks by the Minister and a number of impromptu addresses by other delegates, the great convention was brought to a close by 0 Canada and the National Anthem.This two-day gathering demonstrated clearly that two figures still hold a warm place in the hearts of Quebec residents, Rt.Hon.R.B.Bennett and Armand Lavergne Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons.Even when the leadership fight was at its bitterest point, the mention of the name of the Dominion Premier brought immediate applause from all factions.The fascination of the name Lavergne was also evident.The great French Canadian political warrior of other-days was brought from a sick-bed to prevent b wide-open break in the1 party ranks, and his efforts met with I success.\tj True, the old voice had lost much of its strength, but its charm re- j mained.Feelings at times ran high 1 on the floor and delegates described each other in most uncomplimentary terms.Hortensius Beique, the chairman of the meeting, could not be heard even in the press row despite his powerful voice.Then, from the back of the platform the veteran battler would step forward, supported by two friends and the back of a chair.Five to Ten Per Cent.Further Reduction on Goods from Empire, with Abolition of Primage Duties, Suggested.Canberra, Australia, Oct.5.\u2014 A vigorous Australia, recovering rapidly from effects of the depression, beckoned today for more goods from Canada, the United Kingdom and the rest of the British Commonwealth.The gesture was contained in yesterday\u2019s budget speech of Prime Minister James Aloysius Lyons, announcing duties on Empire products would be lowered to such an extent that some believed British preferential tariffs would be about half those charged on similar classes of goods from foreign countries.Premier Lyons forecast his tariff changes in a speech that made the nation a present of about $35,000,000 in the form of reduced taxation for the 1933-34 fiscal year.Details of the proposed reductions in basic rates of British Empire preferential tariff rates were not available, but it was known the government had before it sever; different ways in which it might primage duties, those charges un MENACE WHOLE BÜSINESS LIFE BRITISH WAR DEBT ENVOY TO UNITED STATES Secretary of State Warns Railwayman that Public Will Not Stand Higher Taxes to Maintain Preferred Position Montreal, Oct.5.\u2014Warning railway workers that a strike at the present time would endanger the very economic life of the country, Hon.C.H.Cahan, Secretary of State, advised that these men consider their action carefully.The country has to make good I a deficit of fifty to sixty million dollars a year in the running expenses of the Canadian National Railways, \u201cand it seems pretty hard to impose increased taxes to pay more money to the men who operate that road,\u201d declared the federal Minister.Canadian taxpayers accepted the tax on sugar, among other imposts, in the knowledge that the money thus raised went to keep people from actual want.But they would not he willing to pay more taxes to maintain a preferred schedule of pay to employed people, Mr.Cahan made it plain.PREMIER'S COMMENTS ON ELECTION OF MR.DUPLESSIS\t1 Quebec, Oct.5.\u2014Comment- ^ ing on the election of Maurice | Duplessis, M.L.A., for Three Rivers, as leader of the Opposition at the Conservative Con vention in Sherbrooke, Hon L.A.Taschereau, Premier f Que bec, declared last evening: \u201c1 am pleased to see that the i Conservative party has chosen ! a leader.For a party to split, as the Conservatives did, is an I j event without precedent in .he I i political history of the Province I 1 of Quebec.The appointment 1 of Mr.Duplessis ir a rebuff to 1 the Bennett Governmeni.which I 1 tried to impose its candidate.j \u201cIn spite of the difficult task ! and in the face of strong op- j 1 position, the Provincial Con- I I servative party strove, and 1 i with reason, to conserve its I : autonomy.The result of the I Sherbrooke convention also I marks a defeat for Mr Houde.1 i who allied himself with the I !

It became known that before sailing Mr.Ferguson, former Conservative Premier of Ontario, in the course of an interview, remarked: \u201cI always have had a warm spot in my heart for Premier Taschereau.\u201d Made aware of this the Quebec Premier said: \u201cThat shows that since leaving politics Mr.Ferguson is becoming more reasonable.\u201d He pictured the serious condition to which the reduce PeoP^e formerly wealthy had been \u201e ,h, | reduced with the depreciation, or Tew.,™»» ¦jQ-.n-gysa t Éifr.iirt ductions m the British preferential show how> im sib]e it is to\u2019im_ tariff as follows\tJ pose additional burdens.Heex- 1.D rom five to ten Per cent on ( £resged\tth with the railway all goods entitled to admission under, men faced with reduction of their preferenUal rates.\tj earnings, pointing out that all From five to ten per cent, on , c]ag?eg jn çanacja were called on to some selected raw materials contain-1 make sacrj^ces ed in goods covered by clause one.| As f0).the Canadiall Paci{k Rail.3.From four to ten per cent, on J way Company, it had brought more j credit to Canada than any othei ##lf ! ¦ÿ-'A\u2019î ' #- HAVANA TODAY COUNTS LOSS IN STORM DAMAGE Section of Cuban Capital\u2014 Politics at Standstill.Immediate silence reigned and the speaker would plead for party unity- in the face of a powerful enemy.| Havana, Oct 5.\u2014Storm harricad-Time after time Armand Lavergne\t, ., alone seemed to be able to control es we''e removed todav w,th the the passions of the delegates.\tpassing of an eignty-two-miles an Only two candidates were nomin- hour hurricane that aused slight ated yesterday afternoon, J.A.|jnjU|.jes f0 tweiuv, sank small ves-Whitaker, of Beaconsfield.a dark |\t, n \u201e h , Q , |ed ,0 an horse candidate, failing to enter the 1 lists.\tI orgy ot looting.The speeches of the movers and seconders of the two candidates were for most part of a routine nature, they reviewing the good points of the particular man being named.G, Nadeau, of Cap de la Madeleine, caused a lengthy uproar when he declared that a vote was unnecessary because there was only one Conservative candidate running, and | port{ (hat Mr.Duplessis was nothing hut : a Liberal in disguise.This failed to meet with the approval of a large part of the audience, especially the Duplessis supporters, who let their disgust be known by prolonged boo-ing and hissing.Peter Audette, of Quebec, one of the chief supporters of the Dorchester member, saw in Gagnon a sensible man who would maintain contact with the common people.He claimed the time had come when the people really wanted a change in government, and he pointed to the growing Fascist movement in Mont- CATSUP BOTTLE LED TO ARREST OF GRANBY MAN Police Became Suspicious when They Saw Alfred Gilet Carrying Bottles of Catsup in Each Hand at Early Hour of Morning.Granby, Oct.5.\u2014 Alfred Gilet, twenty-five years old, of this city, appeared before Judge J.H.Lemay ! in Sweetsburg on a charge of possessing a miniature illicit still and j was sentenced to a fine of $200 and J costs or three months in jail.Gilet was arrested by municipal j police when he was seen at an early hour of the morning carrying bottles | of catsup in each hand, and the officers became suspicious.Gilet was seen to go from his home !

Barrage of Criticism from Different Countries at Political Commission of League of Nations\u2014Canada Has Settled Minorities' Problems on Principal of Equal Rights for Every Race and Every Religion.Geneva, October 3.\u2014Germany today faced a barrage of criticism, including Canada\u2019s.Successive speakers of different countries in the political commission of the League of Nations condemned her for her treatment of the Jews, and summarily rejected her conception of an ethnic German nation\u2014a nation not \"limited by political frontiers.Hon.R.J.Manion, Minister of Railways and Canals, and leader of the Canadian delegation to the League, opened the day\u2019s discussions, and while he made no specific reference to Germany, he stressed how Canada had settled her minorities\u2019 problems, on the principle of equal rights for every race and religion, an unfettered press and free parliamentary institutions.The Irish Free State urged an international agreement guaranteeing minority rights, and Baron Aloisi, of Itaiy, declared minorities within any state were entitled to enjoy a peaceful existence.The discussion reached its climax in a speech by Senator Berenger, of France.With no equivocation France stood by her old revolutionary doctrine of the rights of man, he said.In the name of the krencli Republic,\u201d Senator Berenger exclaimed, \u201cI uphold the principle of the revolution which proclaimed the rights of man, of all citizens, without distinction of race, religion or origin.\u201d Berenger formally proposed that in its resolution to the League Assembly, the committee should reaffirm the Assembly\u2019s resolution of 1922, which provided that states under no legal obligation to the League are nonetheless required to grant to their minorities, without distinction of race or religion, the same degree of justice they would be required to grant them under the minority treaties.*- ADMIRAL BYRD\u2019S POLAR EXPLORATION SHIP

efforts to expand credit and j boost, farm prices.Further, it coincided with the | coining to Washington of Henry | Bruere, president of the Bowery Savings Bank- of New York.Bruere was expected to co-ordinate the en-jtire credit expansion campaign.Another step with the same aim I was the government's request, for many persons had been wounded.In western Pennsylvania, state-police and deputy

business.Con-| servatives numbering nearly one i thousand from all parts of the Prov-i | ince who had gathered here for the ; party convention, to name a leader ;and re-draft a platform, had completed their tasks and were making their way home.For two days they met in St.'John the Baptist Hall, East Sher-; brooke, holding one of the bitterest conventions in recent years.Feeling ! j ran high and each of the contestants ! for the leadership had supporters -who used more enthusiasm than (good judgment in many cases.At [times the convention proceedings I were suspended for short intervals , while one section or the other expressed their disapproval of an ad-| dress or even the appearance of j some particular individual in the ranks of the other faction.On several occasions, tempers ! reached the breaking point, and I only the conciliatory policy adopted | by both leaders prevented the fight growing beyond a verbal battle.In the most trying moments of the con-j vention.both Mr.Duplessis, who re-I ceived the leadership, and his unsuccessful opponent, Onesime Gagnon, M.P.for Dorchester, could be some of All this came on top of yesterday\u2019s outspoken British denunciation of the new German argument that nationality implies a racial origin without regard to present-day frontiers, that the Jews are neither a racial or linguistic minority, and, therefore, the League, under its conception of the rights of minorities, has no competence to deal with the German-Jewish question.Dr.Manion, of Canada, spoke strongly for justice to minorities.He told the commission how, on the basis of equal rights, Canada had solved her minorities\u2019 problems.Canada\u2019s constitution provided for the equal existence and equal rights of two great races and two great cultures.And those two races, English and French, lived in peaceful content side by side, working and co-operating in the creation of a great nation on the northern half of the American continent.During the past thirty or forty years other peoples had entered Canada he continued.They came from various European countries.They too enjoyed Canadian tolerance and freedom.\u201cWhile a state of perfection is not attainable in this W'orld,\u201d said Dr.Manion, \u201cI suppose that our conditions in regard to minorities are about as near perfection as any country can attain.\u201d Friction had been removed by tolerance to all classes, by mutual understanding, by an unfettered press, and by free parliamentary institutions.Not only were the two great races represented in these
