China Blocks Scientists

NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct 26-171‘. Boy Chapman Andrews, explorer, fa back with a grievance against China's bar to scientific explor- ations.

The field general for the Ameri- can Museum of National History's $500,000 expedition into Asia said that a group close to the Nanking government had adopted a policy of "absolute obstructionism to foreign science” and “without a single con- structive plan of their own, are blocking every foreign scientist who trim to work in China".

Dr. Andrews, a veteran explorer of the Gobi Desert, Thibet, South- wst China, Outer Mongolia and North China, said an unofficial group, known as the Cultural So- ciety, was responsible for the block- ade, contending that valuable Chi- nese treasures and relics were be- ing taken away. This group also charged the explorers were spies looking for valuable mineral and oil deposits.

Dr. Andrews thinks it will take

two years or more before another expedition can go to China.

Rev. A. G. Crowe of Bedfiqile preached in the afternoon w H large and attentive audience from the text, “One Lord, one Faith one Baptism, the three cardinal virtues of christanlty. Space will not permit us to give even a short synopsis of this very interesting address. Mr. Growe was accompan- ied by Mr. .7. B.

We look upon thenfaS one of ourselves.

In the evening after a service of song, the pastor, Dr. Vincent preached on the mission of the church from the text “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature”, Needless to say it was well received by the very large audience present. The Corn- wall quartette, Messrs Shaw, Hyde. Hcartz and Warren rendered, "Oh, How Marvellous" very acceptably

lax-e always appreciated.

Perhaps what most interested {the large audiences present was the short history of the church ‘given by Mr. Ludlow Jenkins, who showed very clearly how the St. ‘Peters Road Baptist Church was very directly a child of the Pil- grim Fathers. Exactly 30) years ago there landed 7500 men and! women in M3SSUC11E§€t0S to join the Pilgrim Fathers and among the number was a man by the name of Roger Williams and who for his Baptist principles was sentenced by the court of that state to be deported but when the authorities went to get him he escaped and flew to the wilderness now Rhode Island; where he got a man to baptize him and he in turn bap- tized this man and ten others.

A short time afterwards a church was founded at New Port, R. 1., and from this church emigrated to Nova Scotia, a man by the name of Henry Alline under whose Chris- tian influence come three at last of the four men, who were instru- mental iri organizing the present church at St. Peters Road.

Services were conducted in some houses in the district for some

On September 1, i931, onc of the‘ units in the City of Winnipeg's new‘, Municipal hydro-electric plant at ‘i Slave Fails on the Wiriipcg TlVCfp was oflicially started thus placing’ in service the initial 24,000 h.p. of a- devclopnient for which an ultimatci installation of 96,000 h. p. is plan- ned. Twenty years ago 26,030 h. p.‘ was similarly placed in service at Pointe du Hols where the ultimate‘ capacity of 105,000 h. p. was attuln~ ‘ ed five years ago.

The Department of the Interior, which until last year administered the water-powers of Manitoba, con- ducted surveys and investigations along the Winnipeg river beginning in 1911 and these indicated that the Slave Falls site was well situated to supplement the Point du Bois plant. Later the City oi.’ Winnipeg liladc an application and all Order in Council was passed placing a reser- vation bn this site in the interests of the City. Early in 1028 the City indicated that its power capacity had been overtaken by tho demands on its system and that thc time had K arrived to proceed with develop-i ment. 1t, therefore applied for an interim license under the Rcgulu- ticns which ,after consultation with the Provincial authorities, WnS is- sued in due course.

Tho main contract was awarded in June, 1929, and construction pro- ceeded rapidly under the super. vision of the Department which was represented at the site by a resident Inspecting Engineer.

On July 15, 1930, the transfer of the natural resources from Domin- ion to Provincial control became ef- fective and the Province of Mani- toba took ove’: administrative con- trol of this enterprise, which has now been carried to a successful conclusion.

This pear has been a memorable one for power development 0n the Winipeg river for it was only re. cently that the initial installation at the Seven Sisters development of the Northwestern Power Company was placed in operation. The Slave Falls and seven Sisters plants, when

mpietel installed, will have u combkngd capacity 0X 320,000 h. p and will increase to nearly 000,000 h. p. the hydro-electric energy gen- erated by the Winnipeg river for use in Manitoba.

(APJ-Ground work for sweeping’

readjustments of Gennan repara- tions and Allied war ments to the United States has laid dill-lug conference con- cluded here Saturday by President Hoover and Prcnlier Laval ‘of France.

Germany is expected shortly to‘

take the initiative by aslfng for re- lief from her enormous reparation burden. France is expected to co- operate in rc-cxailiining Germany's ability’ to pay, undradical reduc- tions arc considered inevitable.

Thc United States, wh'ch col- lects no reparations from Gennany but does havgvast war debtsout- standing from Germany's allied creditors, is ready in turn to do its share as 9, contribution to world siabiliiy. A reopening of the debt (luesiion is expected to fol- low immedatcly on any change in reparations.

In addition to finding a common course of procedure on this im- portant question, The Hoover- Laval discussions produced an agreement for Franco-American unity of action to protect fully their prcsiflt monetary systems, based on the gold standard, to in- crease the stability of internation- al exchange; and lo unlock for world recovery every possible re- servoir or frozen assets.

The conferences were almost strictly economic. They did take account" cf the disturbed political situation of Europe, as a factor ‘of world depression, but they attemp- ted no pol tlcal solutions. There was no talk of U. S. guarantees for French security, and thc disarma- ment discussions produced no tang- ible commotments.

A joint statement issued by the president and the French Premier preditted that up way had been paved for helpful action by the two governments. Because of the diplomatic difficulties concrete proposals into exact lan- guage the announcement did not contain details.
