The method of attack on the problem remains obscure pending privnto conversation: before the tripower meeting opens Friday.

PLAIN ‘SPEAKING

LONDON, Aug. 13—fA.P.)-L0rd Robert Cecil, foremost League oi Nations advocate, said today "only plain speaking can save us from arepetltion of the fateful blund- crs oi 20 years ago." "We must tell Italy in plain, decisive words we are not bluffing and that we are ready to carry out our solemn obligations to the League Covenant no matter how drastic an action may be requir- ed," he asserted. 'f0ur path is clear and first Britain must exercise economic and diplomatic measures to pre- vent hostilities. If those fail. we must call on the League members to unite to halt force by forrce if need be.’ . Lord Cecil, president of the League oi Nations Union, earlier expressed his views at a special meeting oi the executive meeting oi the union.

2 Injured In Unique Accident

Mrs. James Skorry oi Tyne Val- ley is in the Prince County Hos- pital suffering from shock and badly lacerated wounds about the face and. left ear which were caused in a curious accident while she was returning from a berry picking out- ing on Monday evening.

Mrs. Skerry with her daughter Miss May Siren-y who is visiting hei- mother from Boston had been out in the blueberry barrens west oi Tyne ‘Valley. Returning that eve- ning, in making a turn coming out of the woods a. dry limb oi tree overhanging the roadway from the woods, went through the side wiri- dow oi the rear seat o! the car and out through the window at the back of the car. Mrs. Siren-y was struck with such force that she was rendered unconscious. Three little grand children were in the car, and one oi them, Kingsley Bassett. of Pine Si’... Boston, Mass, had his litt'e finger so badly cut that it had to be amputated. It was half an hour before the car could be freed from the tree.

The party then drove to their home in Tyne Valley and Mrs. Skerry and the little boy were tak- en to the hospital later that eve‘- ninz. Kingsley was able to return home but Mrs. Siren-y is still in the hospital and suffering a good deal from shock besides the pain from the wounds. '

Her condition is considered seri- ous although it was reported late last night that she was resting easier. .

NEW YORK, Aug. 13. -- "Jafsie“ Condon has gone on the stage.

The educationist who figured prominently in the trial oi Bruno I-Iauptmann is billed at a Bronx theatre as "The Man Who Broke the Lindbergh Case."

The picture featured at the cin- ema is of gangster life and Dr. Con- don's 15-minute lecture carries the not very original title, "Crime Does Not Pay."

His talk is a rambling resume of his part in the Lindbergh kidnap- ping, centering around his futile payment of the ransom.

WOODSTOCK, Ont, Aug. ili-—- Immediate adoption of the Empire trade policy outlined by Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin at the i932 Ott- awa Imperial Conference. a ooiicy of lowering tariffs in the Empire rather than raising them against foreign countries. is the aim oi the Liberal party. Liberal leader W. L. Mackenzie King said here today.

Had Mr. Baldwin's propcsals been adoptod in i032 the depres- sion would have been over and the wave of economic nationalism now sweepin, the world would never have developed, Mr. Kind said. Prime Minister R. B. Ben- nett had had his chance and had missed it, but if c. Liberal Govern- ment were returned to power one of Mr. King's first acts would be to go to Mr. Baldwin. now Prime Minister- oi Greet Britain, and tell them Canada was ready to ac- cept his plan

Some Two Hundred Men Armed With Buckets and Shovels Battle Fire — Train Held Up.

Two hundred men armed with buckets and shovels last night were fighting a brush fire raging along Can- adian National Railroad tracks between Ellerslie Station and McNeiPs Mills.

The fire started about 3 o'clock and with the high wind blowing the whole woods were soon a raging mass of flames.

The fire extended both sides of the railway track. holding up the westbound freight train from Summer- side which remained at Port- hill.

The men had the fire un- der control late in the even- ing so that the track could be repaired and upon the ar- rival of the expreg from Summerside about 8.20 a mixed train was made up and sent west.
