Evils as ‘iExcrescent Business Growths.”

MONIURMAL. May D-Aithcugh certain evils developed in the eco- nomic system during years of de- pression, they were in the nature of "excrescent growths" which in- dicated no fundamental weakness in the existing structure. Hon. C. H. Cahan, Secretary of State, said today in addressing a Montreal Se. vice Club.

"For myself," he said, "I am confident that 90 per cent of the birsiness of this country ls con- ducted on an honcstvhasis by men and women whose upright lives arc beyond serious reproach; and that indiscriminate cnnunciation cf pre- vailing business methods is un- meriied and unjust."

The extirpation of the so-callcd cnpitllistic system, advocated by the modern disciples of Karl ‘riarx, would mean the destruction o! the credits built up by millions of Can- adians through careful saving and thrift, Mr. Cohan told his large audience.

The advice and ctr-operation of those of matured experience should he invited in devising and preswibing remedies for existing evils in tha iccncmic life of Canada, he said.

Many remedhs were proposed by political am‘ social cpportuntsts who sought to excite public opin-

Flcet Guides Planes

Somewhere in the triangle be- tween the North American main-

land, Alaska and Hawaii, the United States fleet guided the planes by wireless. The planes

were on “routine duty" and their ovement played some undisclos-

ed part in the ' widely discussed

Pacific operations of the fleet.

Secrecy surrounded the prepar- ations and departure, but navy authorities could not conceal the visible aspects of the movement. Officers said no progress reports would be given out.

Without a hitch the planes climbed from the glassy surface of Perl Harbor at intervals of three or four minutes apart beginning at 1.18 mm. (1.18 p.m., EDT.) The last plane got away at 9.4’! a.m. (8.47 p.m.. EDT.)

Utmost Secrecy

Naval officers wouldn't even ad- mit a mass flight was beins made- But/lt was learned the sir fleet was aiming for the tiny coral islet which soon is to become a. way station for contemplated trans- Pacific commercial airplane _ serv- ice.

It also was learned the group expected to reach the little island. a mere speck on the map, in 10 hours; that the planes would re- main away from Pearl Harbor for about a month to take part in other ambitious aerial-operations at sea_ possibly including flights between this area and the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, 1,200 miles dis- tant.

Fifbt into the air and leading the flight was the squadron VP-lo, of six long-range planes. which in Jan, 1934, made the United States navy's first mass flight from Oak- land, Calif. to Pearl Harbor, 2,400 miles.

Squadrons of varying numbers of smaller planes followed. The planes in the air circled the naval base in an ever-growing swarm until the last one had gained its position. Quickly they disappeared into the west.

(C. P. By Guarflnnh special Win) OITAIWA, May 9—For the third successive you the farmers of Can- ada. wrlll roduce their spring wheat acreage if the forecast by the Dom- inion Bureau of Statistics issued today pnoves correct. A three per- cent mdirction this year was pre- dicted or 75.500 acres less than last year. bringing the total for the Do- minion to 22,807,900 acres. The Peak year was in 1932 with 38,646,- 100 acres sown to spring wheat.

Swelling world surpluses of wheel made A uct/lon in the great producing countries desirable and one of the complaints levelled against Canada has been-that ft had rim reduced its acreage dras- tically enough.

Vmile the acreage of spring wheat has been reduced, the land sown to other grains will be increased, the report predicted. ‘There will be in- creases in oats and barley.

Fall wheat will show an fmrosse due to less winter killing this year than last. It is still, high, l9 per- cent winter kill being the estimate. There was only a four percent win- ter kill in fall rye. which also will mean an increased acreage.
