[" Weather Forecast Fair and Cool : NR VOL.CLX.No.90 : DEBATE ON BUDGET RESUMED IN HOUSE OF COMMONS BY FORMER FINANGE MINISTER Sir Henry Drayton Financial Critic Of The Opposition In The Federal Parliament Attacks Surplus As One Purely Of Book-Keeping\u2014Sales Tax Not Being Collected\u2014Bud- get Has Done Nothing For Labor Ottawa, April 146\u20146ir Henry Drayton, financial oritic of the Opposition, resumed the .debate on the budget In the House of Commons this afternoon.He attacked the surplus ceported by the Acting Finance Minister, as one purely of \u201cbook-keeping\u2019\u2019 and touching on the Canadian National Railways, he said that the system was charged up on the books at a figure far greater than its actual value.Regarding the tariff, he declared that the Government had adopted a policy of attrition toward it and for the past two years had been \u201cnibbling\u201d at it.He insisted that agriculture had not been helped to the slightest degree and \u2018hat industry had been harmed.The policy of tariff nibbling had helped no one except those who occupled the Treasury benches.It also hed helped the American manufacturer who exported goods to the Canadian market.\u201cMore than halt the men who should be employed in the agriculture implement industry of Canada are ldle or working in the United States\u201d.Sir Henry maintained, The Farmers\u2019 Hard Times The speaker gave it ag his opinion that there were three causes of the farmers\u2019 hard times, the practically prohibitive tariff of the United States, directed, In the main.agalnet farm products; deflation of prices applicable to grain and livestock, and the loss of purchasing power of the great consuming countries due to the war.He quoted Mr.Flelding's announcement last r in regard to tarifé stability.\u201cWhy, this budget shows that the Government cares nothing about business or industrial stability\u201d, he said.The wisdom and the experience of the former Finance Minister were thrown into the waste basket, the Government being chiefly concerned with maintaining its stability in office.Sir Henry went on to speak of the implement industry which had Iœ home in Ontario.These factories had been steadily growinz in prosperity and now \u2018they were to be handed over to the United States as a sacrifice.There were factories in Quebec too, which would suffer.Sir Henry read a list of implement factories in Canada.If Quebec memhers were interested in the industria! weifare of thelr provinee, and in keeping the Quebec workman at home they would feel compelled to vote agains the budget and In the intereats of their country.Thousands of industrial workers had left Quebec for the United States.If members from the Province of Quedec still maintained their faith in the Taurier-Fielding (ariff they would feel obliged to op- nose the budget.No Real Betterment from Redacetions.No real \u2018betterment had been obtained for the Western farmer by any of the tariff reductions.Out of the twenty four million which the Government honed to save the taxpayers only $760,000 would be due 10 savings on Customs, the balance would bs on the sales tax.Industry wae at the ¢ross roads today.Industry did not know what charges would be made upon it in the future.The great trouble, added 8ir Henry, was that no one knew what the next political exigency would be.If the Government instead of being Influenced by political views, had done what the good of the country demanded, it would have examined the trade returne for the last four years and obaerved the tremendous balance in favor of the United States and againet Canada.In view of Incremsed duties by the United States to further lower the Canadian tariff practically amounted to a betrayal of interests in this country.Just eo long as prohibitive tariffs were met with cuts in the Canadian tariff, just so long would prohibitive tariffs continue.Did Nothing For Labor @ir Henry inaisted that the Sales Tax was not heing cellected.He insisted that the budget did nothing whatever for Labor.The steel pla fnduetry, the Window glass industry and the woollen were left without assistance.The Government was erals h concerned with other things so Cauadian woollen workers would continue to move across to the United States.Hon.Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior, tn opening, expressed his regrets at the absence of Right Hon.W.8.Fielding, upon which Mr.Melghen interjected, \u201chear, hear\u201d.or those who believe in a reduction of taxation, continued Mr.Stewart, the present budget went a long way in accord with their desire.He trusted that the budget d!d mean the death knell of protection though he did wish to have the tariff abolished entirely.Sir Henry Drayton had sald that the budget did nothing for the workers, but he forgot that protection had borne heavily upon those engaged in agriculture and the other industries to which assistance was given by the present budget, & section of the people ho numbered tive and a half million out of the whole population.It had been said the ultimate hope of the agriculturists was the home market, but if that were tho case, a still greater number would have to leave Canada than were leaving it at the present time.Black Flag in Evidence.Mr.Stewart recalled conditions as he knew them after the Natlonal policy was adopted In 1875.Smaller industries wers then ged In larger and there was a building boom In the city of Toronto until by 1890 hogs were selling on the Toronto market at four dollars a hundred weight dressed, and thousands of dwellings in that city were unoccupied.The black flag was much in evidence during those years and there Were many processions of workers asking for work \u2018or bread.In 1896 there had been a change and from then until 1911 had been a period of gradual growth the time of the greatest progress in the history of Canada.In 1911 the Libad been accused of wishing to sell out to the Yankees, when all that they had sought was to improve conditions In Canada.Mr.Stewart went oh to ask the Conservatives what protection had done for the agricultural industry in the United Btates.Although that country exported only about eight percent of ita agricultural produce yet agriculture had never been in a worse condition than in the last decade or two.Mr.Stewart denied that the dud- get had been created for the West.He declared that the fiscal departures made in it will be accepted largely throughout Canada.Increase Purchasing Power.It would release the burden on and increase the purchasing power of more than halt the people of Canada through the removal of taxation on the Implements of production.It was a budget for the many and not for the favored few.It did not, as the Opposition had said, apply to one industry only but generally affected the whole country tor its benefit.le quoted recent utterances of United States experts that Canada was the best field In the world today for investment.With a favorable balance of trade assured and the burden on the agricultural producer lightened, Canada could not fail to go ahead In the coming fiscal year.Mr.Stewart added that, with reference to the cattle Industry, the Government hoped to have something interesting to announce before the close of the present parliament about the transportation of cattle to Great Britain.Telegrams were pouring in from all parts of the country, sald Mr.Stewart, congratulating the Government on ite budget.It was a popular budget in spite of ths Conservative walls.\u201cCanada is all right,\u201d concluded Mr.Stewart.\u201cLet us all get to- [gether and go ahead.\u201d Congratulated Acting Minister.J.F.Johnston, Progressive, Last Mountain, congratulated t r of Finance \u2018on his and well delivered\u201d budget speech.It was a statement that should cause the people to take heart.Although: the public debt ff Maison A Our Anniversary Sale will be continued Today and

Will Lead To A Far Reaching Campaign GOOD FOR EVERYONE Cardin Hopes For Different Verdict From That On Reciprocity Montreal, April 14\u2014A political battle of the magnitude of the 1911 reciprocity campaign ÿs impending as a resuit of the tariff reductions proposed by the 1924 budget.according to Hon.P.J.A.Cardin, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who addressed the Young Liberals\u2019 Association here tonight.Mr.Cardin said that the Liberal party had often been relegated to the Opposition in Parliament because of its devotion to a policy shat meant good for all people and pot merely for spec'al clauses.That, he said, was why Bir Wiltrid Laurier had been beaten in 1911, \u201cThe Liberals today are «bout in the same position,\u201d he maintained.\u201cLet us hope that if it is necessary to go before the electorate in a year or two the party will receive a verdict different from that of 1911.\u201d He charged that \u201ccertain clans and cliques have commenced mixing Imperial and national questions w.th the true political question.The measure we propose today In the budget means good for every one.\u201d - Industry Enriched Itself, Mr.Cardin continued: \u201cUnder the protection it has had, industry has crown.enriched itself.It seems time that we should think of the consumer, of the masses of the people.The budget ls an attempt to take some of the burden off the consumer.\u201d He declared that under the Liberal rule emigration to the United Btates would pass.It was asked what would L berals do next year to industries not now touched by the budget.He considered that such criticism was an indirect confession of approval.The future had to be resorted to and theories erected In an effort to destroy con- t.on, He concluded that Liberals must chooss between the Conservative policy of high tariff and benefit for certain classes -and the Liberals \u201cwho are disposed to aid Industry and the merchant as much as possible but who wish aise that Canadians shall be able to live on the land.\u201d TWO PETITIONS TABLED.Ottawa, April 14.\u2014(Can.Press) \u2014Two petitions for indemnification of Home Bank depositors were tabled in the House of Commons fternoon.The first bearing the signatures of 570 persons was tabled by R.H.Halbert, Progressive, North Toronto, and the second signed dy over 1,400 names came trom L., W.Humphrey, Progressive, West Koolenay.ere grrr ES was still tremendous, a reduction of over thirty mdiMon do was ver, encouraging.The estimated reduction In expenditures for this year should bring considerable relief to the tax-payers.The Government in office during the war had not imposed taxes as it should have done.In those days when money was easier the taxes were not as severe as they should have been.The proposed reduction in the present budget would mean & loss of twenty-four million dollars trom revenue.Most of this loss would be from the reduced sales veux.\u201c iMr.Johneton referred to a speech made by Rt.Hon.Arthur Meighen in Windsor shortly before the budget was announced in which he predicted there would be very few if any réductions in the tariff.In view of the announcements of tast Thureday Mr.Johneton did not believe the Lesder of the Opposition to be a very good prophet.However, every industry to get in financial difticulties within the next few years would blame its troubles on the recent tarif! cute.The Hudson Bay Rallway.Mr.Johnston diverted for a few moments from the budget epeech to urge the Government to complet.propptly as possibile the Hudson Bay Railway.\u201cIf for mo other reason than to steady the moral: of the people of the West it would be a qood investment to complete the road.As far as Western Canada is ron- cerned, we are through with high tariffs.\u201cAll changes nut be downward,\u201d he declared.He was sorry that the natioml policy out lined by Mr.Robb in his budget speech bad net been adopted ANy yeure ago when the so-called rational policy came Into being.\"The Government should prews forward umil the protective element in our tarif£ ie en- tirély removed.This will remove the sheckles from our basic industry,\u201d he added.Hon.J.B.Sinchlr,

QUEBEC, TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1924\u2014FOUNDED 1764.ANGLO-RUSSIAN ARRANGEMENT BEING DISCUSSED Conference TOOK FIRST STEP Up The Entire Question In One Sentence London, April 14\u2014The task of converting Great Britain's de jure recognition of Kussla which was sc- corded the Union of Soviets Febtuary 1 dn fulfilment of the Labor party's campaign pledges, into a practical working arrangement which, it is hoped will nettle all pas! difficulties and re-establish normal trade and political relations between the two countries, began this morning when the Rumsian Mission under M.Rakovsky met with the British delegates headed by Premier MacDonald at the big Horse 8hoe conference table in the Ambassador\u2019s room of the Foreign Office.In his welcoming address Premier MacDonald summed up the whole purpose of the conference in the sentence: \u2018You want political countenance and financial assistance {rom us and we want neighboriiness and recognition of international obligations\".Took Pretty Big Step The Labor Premier toid the Rus sians that Great Britain, by according the Soviet government full diplomatic status, had taken the first step and added that !t was a pretty big one.\u201cLet us together take the second step and justify the hopes of many milllons who look upon 1liis meeting with so much expectation\u201d.he concluded.\u2018Neither Premier MacDonald nor M.Rakoveky's opening addreas he- fore the delegates went beyond broad generalities.\u2018The British view 1» that the entire fate of the meeting depends upon the amount of confidence the Soviet Government representatives are British and world publie by ward the Russian dJehts and other international obligations which the British will insist that the Soviet Government recognise.Unless such recognition Is forth- Russia obtaining credits or loans in this country, tor as Mr.MacDonald po'nted out, the British credit is not in Government banks but in the deposits of provate individuals and unless the mass of the people is satisfied that those who wart credits are fair and honest in their dealings none are likely to be ob- ta'ned.Although the British Premier did not mention the fact this morning it is authoritatively understood that there is not the siightest poselbllity of the British Government making a loan to Russia no, matter how successful the present conference may be from the British point of view, All loans and credits must be privately negotiated with British bankers.To Recover Some Losses The main purpose of the British Government in the negotiat.ons regarding the Russian deots is to recover something of the heavy ftin- ancial losses which Briilsh subjects have suffered in Russia as the re- suit of the revolution.The question of the Czarist debt of (26,- 000,000 ateri.ng and the war debt of £650,000,000 sterling may not even be brought up during the negotiations, The British are spider the foregoing amounts ax war debts, similar \u2018to the French and Jialian.or theme amounts may be offset by Russian counter claims tor damages caused by the Allled intervention In Russia.But ir the settlement of the private debts vo British subjects the MaaDorald Govermment will insist on complete recognition and pledges of payment at a definite rate.Th private debts are estimated at £14,000,000 sterling In Ruslan municipal bonds held in this country, {380,000,000 In compenmation for damages to British commerciai | properties In Russia and (¥00,000 which are claimed as personal dem- ages.The British will not admit Russian counter-clajms againet these private obligations and upon the Russian attitude toward thom the conference ls expecied to succeeed or fall Replying to Premier MacDonald's speech M.Rakovaky, afler an expression of gratitude at the friendly welcome given the Russian delcga- tion, and special tharnke to Mr.Mac- Donald and the Labor party for Ite important share ir bringing the con- {erence about, announcing that the Russian delegntion was not only furnished with very wide powers but also full palitiemal authority to take actio non any inmworiant decisions.Wants Revisiom of Treaty.M.Rakoveky demanded as the firmt condition to a stable peace revision of the Treaty of Versailles and of other treaties smoclated with It.\u201cBut,\u201d he added.\u201cobviously we do not thivk the abrogetion of the Treaty of Versailles should lead to a reconstitution of state organisms which, Hike Austria and Hungarycoulé rest on violence apd the ex- willing to con- Premier Of Great Britain And!

Ensuing Year\u2014President Pion Submitted A Very Interesting Annual Report Dealing With The Activities Of The Club\u2014Acoidents to Motorists On The Publio Highways A lengthy discussion regarding whether the name of the Quebec Auto Club should be changed Into French following a motion by Dr.Arthur Leclerc, featured the annual general meeting of the club, held last evening in the Recorder's Court.It was finally decided that the matter should be left In the hands of the directors and executive of the club, who will report their decision to the members at a general meeting.The election of officers resulted as follows: Hon.Patrons: Hon.N.Perodeau snd Hon.L.A.Taschereau ; Hon President, Sir George Garneau ; Hon, Vice-Presidents, Mayor Bamson, Sir Wm.Price, Carrel, Hon.L.J.Perron, Hon.J.Nicol and Hon.E.Lapointe, re- slected, Premdent.Aug.Plon, Vice-President, O'Meara.Directors: J.A, Genest, Dr.A lecierc, J.J.Marnell, Phil.Godbout, Dr.P, Picard, Alex.Chateauvert, Dr.A.Lunglols, - Jos.Cote, I}.H.Levasseur, Wm.J Lynch, A.C, Sutherland, Dr.C.A.Delage, Art.Richard, A.A.Cioutier and Laurent U, Morency.The President's and Secretary- Treasurer's reports were read previous to the election of officers, and the tinancial standing of the club was shown to be on the right side, there being a net surplus of $842.36 revealed.following the election of officers the re-elected President spoke of the attention that the club had devoted greatly to tourists during the course of the last few years, and added that the club's efforts had resulted in a great number of tourists coming to Quebec.The club had arranged, with great success, to organize tr.ps around Quebec for tourists and the money spent by these tourists had all been spent in Quebec, thus benefitting everybody.Mr.Pilon spoke of the new towing service that the club had arranged for and also stated that two gasoline services had been arranged for, while a third would be avaliable in a few days.The new towing service, he mated, would become effective on April 15.Another Innovation.Another Innovation that the club had under consideration was the «establishment of garages along the various roads, where gasoline would be sold at à rensonable price, and tourists well looked after.Special efforts would be pald this year to pedestr.ans by tho elub, so that accidents would be reduced to & minimum.Referring to the new tax on autos, Mr.Pion stated that he believed the club had scored a greal success this year with the Government, and had had one Interview after another, and had the Quebec Auto Club not interested Mself in the matter, autoists in the Province might have been paying 20 or 30 centoc per hundred pounds tax.Furthermore, he was of the opinion that $¢ per cent of the autoists in tre Province would benefit by this tax, The municipal camp at St.Foye was algo spoken of by the Presi- Bent, who referred to the affilla- tion of the Quebec Auto Club with the Prov:nce of Quebec Touring Associationre-elected; Lieut.-Col.J, 8.Fifty-four new members were | then received Into the club, as compared with forty last year at the annual general meeting.Mr.Plon, reterring to the influx of American cars into Canada, stated that last year 132,906 American cars had entered the Province, representing 531,620 people, who, accord.ng to the official statistics, had spent thirty million dpllars in the Province.Dr.A.Leclerc, one of the newly elected directors, then raised the question as to whether the name of the Quebec Auto Club should not be changed into French, seeing that the city was French, sand this led to & long and lively discussion, some of the members announcing themselves in favor of the change, while others were opposed to it.The question was finally settled by the leaving of the matter to the Executive Committee, who will report to the members at a general meeting that will be called.C.J.Lockweil then raised the question of a chalet for members of the Quebec Auto Club outside the city, and Mr.Plon said that to accomplish this, a second category of members would have to be made so a8 to assess them their portion of the expenses necessary for the operation of this chalet.A especial committee will look {nto the matter and will send a questionnaire out to the members to ascertain their opinion on the matter, and find how much they would want to pay.Dr.Delage asked all autolsts to observe the law regarding the stoppage of autos behind street cars, and said that the police were geing to enforce the law strictly this year, and would make no ex- geptions at alt.Accidents To Motorists Mr.Simon Japointe said that fhe olub should ask for the repeal Hon.Frank, i proved to be all users of the public highways, with the exception of autolsts, could have redress against the inudichpalities for accidents which resulted in their vehicles being damaged through the road being in faulty condition, etc., and pointed out that while these people could obtain redress, the autolsts were nut included in the category at all, and they should at least be placed on the same footing as the other users uf the public highways.During the course of the meeting, just as W.J, Lynch was rising to propose that Aug.Pion be reelected President of the Quebec Auto Club, all the lights In the Recorder\u2019s Court, and throughout the whole of the City Hall, went out, whereupon the crowd started singing And cheering to while away the time until candles were forthcoming, jend finally electricity once more A net surplus of $824.36 was reported bg the Secretary-Treasurer, und the financial statement of the ciub showed that eipts had been $13,262.64, while expenses had been $11,117.43, leaving a surplus of $2,135.21, but against this there had to be set $1,292.85 for divers items, which left a net surpius of $843.36, The following is President Pion's report to the members of the club on the vccas.on of the annual general mesting: Gentiemen:\u2014 \u2018The celebration of an anniversary is generally an interesting event and that which we are observing tonight ws particularly so since it marks the twelfth year of progress of our local association of motorists.Ours hus à progressive club which has always advanced from ons success to another, expanding with time and becoming more and more useful to its members according as they increased in numbers.To recount the successes achieved by our club we do not need to exe axgerats thelr number or their importance.The facts stand oùt in re- Het ao there is no necessity of reviewing them all at this annua: gathering; besides these achievements are permanently engraved in the minds of each one of our members who may have benefitted by them during our twelve years of existence.What contributed most of all to the constant progress of our Club was its mode of operating for the Lanefit of its members.We have this year a atriking example vf the truth of the axiom: \u201cUnion means strength\u201d, in the fact that with a slight increase in numbers we have been able to aubetan- tially extend our services and to balance our finances in a most satisfactory manner.Had we had one hundred members more we would have been able to give you an even better service.We feel, however, that you will admit that we did everything in our power to give you the maximum of assistance and protection with the revenue which we hud at our dis.vosal.Our resources were expended for our members in protection service, in townge, In direction signa, in the storage of batteries, in general Information relative to motoring, etc The one and only reason for our success reste in the unceasing seal of our officers and directors and in the co-operation of our members.As it would be practically impos sible to relate in detail all our activities since our last general me ing, you will permit me to aum- manise them under the following headings: \u2014 FOR OUR CITY.FOR MOTORISTS.FOR OUR MEMBERS.\u2014 For Our Chty.\" With your generous authorization our offices were moved during the past year and were placed for the benefit of our city at the disposal of the numerpus tourists who visit It each year.Thanks to your annual contnbu- tion, which although small, we fitted up our offices and were able to answer during the past summer nearly twenty thousand verbal requests for information and some three thousand in writing.A small summary calculation enables ua to affirm that we contributed to have Quebec benefit by at least one million dol- lates which was spent here alone by the tourists who visited our office.The numerous letters of appreciation which we received leads us to believe that those who called at our office were satisfied and that we contributed towards advertising our city and enhancing its good reputation.The monthly magasine which we published throughout the year and which was distributed In the United Btates also contributed towards swelling the number of visitors to our city for the greater good of alt the citizens.We mixht also mention the carhp- ing grounds which we succeeded in having the City open, etc.Realising the substantial revenue which tourists bring to the Province and particularly to our historic City, we have becomes affiliated with the Tourist Association of the Province \u2018of Quebec in order that QUEBEC, TUESDAY, APRIL

duty courageously.We find our.recompense in the result obtained and in the appreciation of those for whom we have worked.Of all these things mentioned automobile ownera who are not members of our Club may have benefitted as much ae our members.May they acknowledge the fact and soon decide to cooperate in our work by Joining us.For Our Members \u2019 It is for our own members that we naturally have had the most consideratibn.The attention which we have given to outsiders was not withheld from our members who were always given our first attention.Our new offices met with thelr approval for we received calls from many of our members whom previous to that, we had only known by name.The marke of appreciation which we received convinced us of the general satisfaction over our change of quarters.A notable concession which we obtained from the American Immigration authorities was the acceptation of our official membership cards instead of letters of identification to cross the frontier- lines.This advantage was keenly appre.clated by those who knew all the rea tape procedure which had previously to be followed to cross the Unes.Last year we improved our towage service by extending It to a radius of 25 miles from the city instead of 20 miles as it had been previously and by securing a better equipped service car.Generally speaking the 150 members who had occasion to call on this emergency service during the summer w satisfied, We had three gasoline stations in town during almost the entire season, and our members were thus enabled to buy their gas at fair services we were able to add that of the storage of accumu- 1ators, which was costly on the Club, but which we were enabled to give owing to our increased membership.Before completing its year our floard of Directors organized a tow.age service which will extend from the 15th of April next to the lst of April, 1936.The new taxis company \u201cBlack and White\" aecured the contract.Detalles in this connection will be given you presently.Many of our members took advantage of the recharging of ac- cumistors at special rates and of the service of a battery free of charge during thé perfod of recharging.This service will be continued next year by Mr.Maurice Harrls, 30 Palace Hill As a measure of encouragement to the Association of Automobile Balesmen we took part in the last Motor Show at the Drill Hall, As in the past we gave special attention to the personal complaints of our members and endeavored on all occasions to secure just treatment for them.Good ronds, direction signs, dan.gor signals and the prevention of accidents are always to the fore with the Board of Directors, and are given a large share of our attention.We belleve, gentlemen, that we have fulfilled our duties of office and that the Quebec Automobile Club deserves a continuance ef your ronfidence and ce-operation.GETS DECORATION Several Canadian Citizens Receive High Honors From The French Government

resolution amended or annulled by another resolution, Whereas a large number of per- Fons of this town are out of work, and =o unable to pay their sexes, Whereas the taxes of the town are too high and that If the Drown Corporation pays taxes, this would effect a decrease in the tax rate.Therefore (he resolution of April 24th, 191%, granting a commutation o ftaxes to the Hrown Corporation be amended and rercinded while \u2018the said corporation have not made the improvements nromised and from now on will have to pay taxes at the pro rata of its municipal valuation, jlke any other tax-pay- er, and as soon as the promised developments are completed the commutation of taxes granted by She April 24th, 1819, resolution, will again be allowed for the balance of the term.for six years mure.In amendment, it is proposed hy Mr.F.X.lamantagne, seconded by Mr.Arthur Tremblay: \u2014 That: \u2014\u2014 Wherear the municipal council would be unanimous in the matter of collecting the taxes of the

has been made that the question of the tariff should bo taken ont of the hands of the Government and entrusted 10 a commisdon.It is gn easy matter to approclate the feclings of the sponsors of the proposai, but lt is à difficult matter to follow their arguments.Admittedly the present suggested reductions in the tariff make the position of the country well nigh desperate, but it is difficult to see bow a come mission could have relieved the situation.No matter how cffcte 8 government may te is the only responsible method of democratic rule; it is in fact, the only way in which the people of a country can voice their opinions as they refute to the administration of the country.Now undoubtedly one of the most important matters in which democracy desires to express opin- lons is in financial administration.The people of the country find the money and very naturally they cx- pect to be consulled reganding tx collection and appli cation.If an independent commission were to be appointed then they would lose that right.The commission of course might act as & benef cient autoeracy.It might conduet the fifcal question much beuer than the Treasury off'eials conducted lt

The Course Of The Last Four Years Quebecare face a prospective general increase in fire insurance.owing to the heavy fire losses sustained this year up to the present, and the fact that for the last tour years the insurance companies have steadily lost money.The companies have the matter under advisement for the whole of the Dominion at present, and while they may be picking out certain classes of in- aurance on which the rates\u2019 will be increased, there is every likelihood that én this city the Increass in insurance will be a general one.Up to the present the fire loss In Quebec city amounts to sity percent of she total premium for the year, or about $440,000, the premium in this city being figured at close to $300,000.00 It ta well known that all over the Dominion there has been

at the Ladies\u2019 Mission Hall, No.18 Bt.Joachim street every Monday evening, wae on the Promise of the Birth of Isaac and tite Destruction of Sodom and omorrah.taken from Genesis, chapters 18-19.The theme being \u201cls anything too hard for the Lord\u201d.In the pre- ceeding chapterw of the book of Genesis it was shown how Abraham was seeking to secure the fuiftil- ment of God's promise through the energy of the flesh, and of his consequently wmesting with failure, His wife Sarah being in a measure res- poneible but Abraham lacked in patience.He belleved God but undertook to secure the result in his own way.resulting in sorrow to both of them, and it was only when at last he realized his utter dependance on God alone and the futility of his own endeavours.that the desire of Abraham's heart was answered, and in.a wonderful way, for the Lord, Himeelf appeared to him.and Abraham had the opportunity of entertaining his Lord and Maker.The meal that was prepared was according to the customs that we still find amongst the Arab tribes in the East, the best ne a kid of the flock Is only prepared for a very great personage.Abraham gave his best and Jehovah accepted it as He always accepts gifts if offered in the same spirit as did Abraham.The meal (or fine flour), 4s a type of Christ ap a Man, \u2014Bread of Life\u2014, Food tot Hie people.After Abraham had refreshed the Lord His promiess to Abraham was renewed and farah was to have à son.There is nothing too hard for the Lord (Jer.82, 17) and then he was la also told of the comming judgment on ¢he wicked ham being 20 near to the Lord wag given the opportunity of pleading for these wicked cities, although without avail aw there were found not even tan righteous persons in them.The contrast being Abraham and Lot, representing the Christian walking close to the Lord In his dally life and the worldly Christian mingling with the world in its sine and pleasures, an dthe wonderful promise and rewards that await the former while to the latter all his lite\u2019s work a lost and he à@ saved only by the mercy of God, The fearful picture of the destruction of Sodom with ail its tnhabitante.has

made an interesting speech yesterday at the luncheon of the members of the local branch of the Engineer- Ing Institute of Canada.He had chosen \u201cMetalllo Ores of Quebec\u201d! tor his subject, and at the outset of hie address declared there was not a single geological! reason why such famous mining camps as those of Kickiand Lake, Porcupine and Sudbury should not be duplicated anywhere in the 650,000 square miles of the Quebec Laursntian Plateau, stretching from the Ottawa and 8t.Lawrence rivers to the Hudson Strait.He sald the production of metals was pitifully small, and proceeded to give figures relating to the pro- dugtion of the different metals in the Province lam year.During the war the value of metalic produc- the fact that prices could be obtained in almost any line.The actual production, however, had not been much greater than in former years.The speaker declared that 93 per occupied by the Laurentian Shield or Plateau.This comprises the territory to the north of a line joining the cities of Ottawa and Quebec, and runs along the north shore of the Gt.Lawrence to the Straits of Belle Isle and stretches ns far as Hudson Strait.The surface of the! of what are collectively known as pre-Cambrian rocks, and it was In iron, copper, silver and gold deposits were found.They were great potentialities in our metallic mineral possessions but these were not being developed owing to eparseneas of population.and a lack of interest on the part of the people living here who are more Interested in apriculture, and fail te consider what the province poases- sen In mineral wealth.\u201cThe fact that climatic conditions restricted prospecting during seven or eight months in the year also Was influential in retarding development.He gtreased the need for increased sources and pointed out that at present in both English and French schools, the amount of time allotted to this study was all too short.He declared the future of the mineral industry in the province was bright, tor to date we have hardly scratched the surface with the work already accomplished and our metallic resources are immense.In conclusion the speaker pointed out that while the remarke he had made were probably not new, the facts having been known to geolo- ciata for years, their application to th'e province wag becoming dally more advisable as men from Ontario were now invading the province for gold.The results achieved.In the @istrict of north western Quebec had been very encouraging and they gave promise of developing into great producing centres in the future.Mr, Denls was accorded a hearty vote of thanks at the conclusion of his address.ONLY REAL AND LARGE RELIEF Utilization Of Water Power In Acute Fuel Area Referred To In Report Ottawa, April 14.\u2014(Can.Press) \u2014\"That the development of water power constitutes the only real and large relief yet achieved to the fuel he conclusion reached by the Dominion Water Power Branch of the Department of the Interior.In a summary of the more recent statistics and information gathered on the utilization of water power In Canada in relation to coal production, importation and consumption, which will be issued shortly, the er power branch declares also, \u201cthat it le our water power resorces and the low average of cost of power therefrom\u2019 that has made possible such rapid development of our manufacturing Industries that the net value of product of our factories (deducting duplication) la now greater than that of agriculture.\u201cThe acute fuel area\u201d mentioned is sald to be Ontario and Quebec, and the supply of coal to these two central provinces is regarded as constituting the fuel problem of Canada.Ontario and Quebec, it ia stated, use over sixty vercent of the coal consumption of Canada, and 93 percent of thelr combined consumption of coal is imported from abroad.\u201cThe combined consumption of Ontario and Quebec for 1923 was 18,810,000 tons,\u201d states the aum- mary.\u201cThe coal equivalent of de veloped water power in the same area is over 13,000,000 tons.It will therefore be seen that but for this developed water power Ontario and Quebec would require about twice their present supply of coal.\u201d DEATH OF FORMER MAYOR OF COTE #T.PALL Montreal, April 14.\u2014Patrick Farmer, former Mayor of Cote ®t.Paul, away yesterday at his home 1387

IMPORTANT EVENT Flotation of C.P.$12,000,000 Bonds Considered Great Financial Transaction - Qfontreal, April 14\u2014The flotation of a $14,000,000 Canadlan Pacific five percent bond issus and the con- {ining of its distribution to Canada, is an event of no little importance in the current financial history of the Dominion.It is another indica- ton of Canada's \u201ccoming of age\u201d in financial matters.Foriy years or so ago when the men who bullt the Canadian Pacific had thrown all their fortunes and those of their friends into the venture and were esaking in Europe and the United States the means of completing their task the success of a twelve million dollar loan for public subscription in Canada alone would have been extremely hasardous if not alto- sether impossible.That times\u2019 and opinions have completely changed in this respect ls at once the indication of national progress and the best answer to those whose faith in Canada's fu- tre bas been imperilled by the events and conditions accompanying after-war deflation.War loans taught Canadians the value of gilt edged bonds «s safe investmeats and as profitable de- \u2018positanies for savings.The bond issue, Iv of note mostly because of its being offered only to Canadians and because it is the first Canadian Pacific loan put out in Canada in ter years, an unmistakable reflection of the belief of the big company's chief executive and directorate in the re-establish ment of the Canadian bond markets power of abeorbition through the increase in the amount of money offering for this kind of Investment.In 1907 of the total issue of the company\u2019s common stock 9.75 per cent was held in Canada.Today 21 per cent is held in this country and the rate of increase has been more marked in recent years despite the fact that the same period has asen an increass In Great Britains holding of the stock which have advanced to tity per cent of the total issue and which, together with holdings in Canada and other parts of the British Empire total approximately 76 per cent of the company's active voting securities.While only a part of the company's earnings are Canadlan In origin, the distribution of its interest disbursements and dividends in Canads are a help to Canadian trade and industry.Under present conditions of the money market this bond Issue could easily have Geen floated in either New York or London, where the a shade better price for the imue.\u2018 But the Canadian Pacific ia presumably better known in Canada than elsewhere.Where the hedge Is lowest the company probably could have got! / TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1924 \u2019 sante rym First Thought For Your The Easter Connecting Link of rR .Friendship Watermans Ideal Fountain Pens Are Sold By W.P.La Roche Phone:958 .= \u2018= « «
