In War Memoirs

By Thomas T. Champion Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, Sept. 23-(0? cable)-— David Llojyd George's fifth volume of war memoirs, to be published tomorrow, shows no softening oi’ its censure of Sh" Douglas Haig (later Earl Haig), British war-time c0mmander-in-chlcf, and also con- drnins the official history of the war on several counts.

Lloyd George declares Haig "only considered the question of the feasibility of overcoming German resistance by direct attack. He took a still more contemptlble view of Gciman reserves for filling depleted divisions."

Concerning the appointment of a generalisslmo, the war-time Prime Minister asserts Hatg was convin- ced that he was a better practical soldier than Marshal Foch (who became the allied commander-in- chlcf late in the war), while Mat- shal Pctiiin thought himself a bet- ter general with an equal, if not a superior. record of success.

Concerning the allied retreat in March, i918. the little Welshman declares: "Nothing struck me more than the kind of composure, amounting to supineness, which reigned amongst those who would have ilie most direct and terrible responsibility for the lives 0f niil— lioiis and the fate of itritions. Mll- itary iicrve ceased to respond to the memory of past horror or the pro- spect of future ghastliness.

“It seemed to me that Haig was govcmcrt in his choice of men far too much by the dcsire to have around illlll those personally agree- ablc to himself. who would not clash with his dictatorial temper by suggesting any difference of opin- ion. Whcii Briand (Aristide Brland. then French premier) and I first made the experiment of im- ity of command in the spring of 191'? wc encountrred resistance from Hatg and Field-Marshal Sir Wil- liam Robertson, ivhosc most out-

War Fear Seen by Fl n a n c e Minister Dunning as Greatest Obstacle _ to World Peace and Progress.

"As I go up and clown our country I hear in every part of it that’, ‘we have not. got: our rights under Confederation?’ Hon. C. A. Dunning, Dominion Finance Minis- ter, told representatives of the Maritime Board of Trade and others present at last nlght‘s Board dinner at the Canadian National Hotel.

“Nobody seems to be completely satisfied with Confederation. Every- body has got claims against all of us," Mr. Dunning continued. “I have had a great deal to do in the course of my life, and particularly in the last five years, with arbi- trations and settlements; and you know the surest proof that I have arbitratcd soundly and fairly is that all parties to the dispute curse me, And whileI dent say to aMari- time audience. or to a ivcstcrn audience, or to an Ontario or Que- bec nudicnce that they should in any way relax their efforts to justify what they believe are their just rights, I do say to them that the things which unite us are in- finitely more precious and valuable to us than the things which divide us.

"More than that, I say to them within the next five years, if the signs on the horizon mean any-i thing, our iinlty as a nation will be yet more precious, unless the world in some way escapes the madness which appears to be on it at the present time.

The War Menace

"Canadians do not want war," Mr. Dunning declared, “If possible

they want it, even less than the British people. For many a long year the North Sea enabled the

British people, if they desired, to keep clear of European complica- tions. The North Sea is not the barrier it once was; but what the North Sea. was to the British peo- ple, the Atlantic Ocean ls today to Canada. We can phllosophlze and say among ourselves what the Lea-

Transportation and other matters affecting the business interestofthe Maritime Provinces came in for ex- tensive analysis and discussion at the annual meeting yesterday of the Maritime Board of Trade.

The chief business was the re- ception of reports, summaries o! which appear below.

The convention opened at 10.30 a. m. with president J. A. Clark presiding. The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and adopted.

Welcoming the visiting delegates, Premier Campbell empheiaed that Boards of Trade like Govem-

merits. should kccp in mind the general good of the community. Boards of Trade, he suggested.

in making recommendation should kcrp in mind the financial limit- ations of governments. In the capacity cf advisers they can make iiscfiil suggestions to governments from an iron-partisan point; of view. Governments he believed, are justified in taking recommend-

ations of this kind into very care-

ful consideration. He concluded by wishing the convention every success in its delrberarions.

His Worship Mayor Turner in welcoming the delegates referred optimistically to evidences of CanadoJs business pickup. The time has come he suggested, when the people of Canada through the Dominion Government, should re- cognize the fact that it. was here Confederation was born, the his- toric background of this grand old city should be duly recognlzed—He iiitJncicd making application along this line to Ottawa. and would appreciate the support of the Marttmc Trade Board representat- ivcs.

A cordial filial greeting on be- half of the Charlottetown Board of Trade was extended by Prest- dent J. J. Morris.

MONTREAL, Sept. 23-—tC.P.)—- Business in the Maritimes “is on a. sound, healthy basis with the curve of production and employment de- finitely up," in the opnlon of Morris W. Wilson, President and Managing Director of the Royal Bank of Canada.

Mr. Wilson who has just returned to Montreal after an extensive l0- day inspection trip through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. said he found many pronounced indica- tions of recovery.

“Unemployment rclief costs in the three provinces today are a fraction of what they were two years ago, although in some of the larger centres unemployment is still a problem," Mr. Wilson remarked.
