saysiLinooln Assassination Plot Hatched in- Canada

UITAWA, May 2-(0. P): Abra- ham Lincoln, the martyred entan- clpﬂlpf of the slaves was assassinat- ed through the machinations of a grmlp representative of the interna- tional bankers who feared the United States President's. national credit ambitions-and the plot was hatched in Toronto and Montreal. This was the information imparted to the House of Commons commit- tee on banking and commerce to- day by Gerald G. McGeer, K. 0.. Vancouver lawyer and advocate of social credit, during a five hour at- tack upon the present financial system.

"’I'lic evidence discloses that in- stead oi being a » patriot, John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln in a Washington theatre, was a. mercenary," Mr. McGeer de- clared. Basing hi; beliefs upon an exhaustive mudy of . unexpurgated copies of the evidence given by se- cret service agents at Booths trial, he declared that the only group that could benefit by Lincoln's death, and who had the money to carry out such a plan, was the in- ternational bankers. -

"The utli worshipped Lincoln and looked upon him as the only one who would secure themi justiw in defeat. If they wished to kill him they had splendid opportunities and could have secured a thousand who would do the job,“ McCieer said.

“According to the evidence given at the trial, the plot to assassinate Lincoln was first disclosed 1n Mon- treal and Toronto," Mr. McGee:- said. "A group of men representing the ccniederacy wereoperating in Canada with headquarters in these cities. During the winter of 1864 and 1865 they were approached by tn unimowmgroup with the propo- sition to assassinate Lincoln.

"They were not from the south nor connected. with the southern government because I ,. itatives of the r/ith in Canada hesitated to consider the proposal until it had been submitted to the south for approval.

"The men responsible for insti- g-atins the crime were unknown but, in evidence given at the trial, they were described as a group which could undertake anything without regard to coat.

"Lincoln was wont to describe the men opposing his greenback cur- rency policy as ‘the secret ‘foes of the nation.’ The battle between Lincoln and the sound money men oi the day was well known. In 1864 he was elected on a platform that contained a plank declaring for na- tional currency.

“Lincoln was the most powerful reformer of his day. Had he lived he would have established a na- tional currency system in the Unit- ld States.

‘There was only one group in the world at that time who could fi- nance anything they cared to at- tempt without regard to cost and who had any reason to desire the death of Lincoln.

"The? were the men opposed to his national currency programme and who had fought him t-hrowrh- out the whole of the Civil War on m5 P0116? of greenback currency.

Loaded to the gurmels with "139. merara Black Diamond" the speedy boat went down to Davey Jones‘ locker at the foot of Jubilee Road in the winter of 1932. But sh; pa; not doomed to such a dismal and untimely end. Brought to the guy- face by sea-going Royal canadgm Mounted Police, she was sold at public auction and former light- léeeper Gilkie was the highest bid-

The old iightkeeper who retired from active service in 1929 still has the lure of the sea. 1n his blood and his eves sparkled as they surveyed the tuna-lined launch.

"You know," he confided, “when I was on duty at the light this boat might have passed right under my nose!"

"Did you see many wrecks when ygu were at Sambro?" he was ask- e . “Well, I was there during tine war, and I saw two or three troop ships come to grief including the City of Vienna and the City of Brunswick. The Bohemian with general cargo, the Belle of Bergo with a load of oil and the patrol boat Premier went ashore when I was there, the former keeper related. "I have made a number of boats in my time" he continued, "I ought to have some fun with this one, eh?"

Further tests in packing eggs for transit have corroborated the orig- inal observations that packing eggs broad and up is superior to placing them broad ends down.

Earlier today a larger delegation of steam coal producers in Alberta and eastern British Columbia, mot‘ Prime Minister R. B. Bennett. They were headed by Hon. J. E, Brown- lee, Premier of Alberta. The wes- tern producers asked that they be put on exactly the some basis, ns those in Nova Scotia, Their subsidy is now slightly lower.

The Prime Minister, after hear- ing the rcpresentations, suggested that a committee of three go into the question with the technical of- ficcrs of the Department of Mines. The delegation also urged upon tho government that. fuel coal used in Ontario for relief purposes be pur- chased entirely in Canada. Mr. Brown-v, who is accompanied by Hon, George Hoadley, Minister oi Agricultiu-c, will also discuss with the government provincial relief and unemployment relief.
