2,500,000 Pounds to be Landeik at Halifax Believed Largest Consignment of Dairy Products Ion Record. _ .

i

HALIFAX. Dec. l5.—T\vo and o. half million pounds of New Zealand butter. believed to be the largest cargo of that commodity ever iund- - ed in Halifax. are due to arrive here- early Sunday morning on the steamer Devon. The value of the consignment-is not known but cou- pled .with 2.100 tons of freight of a,

- takeh from e full brother of "Meo-

HM-lLlb-Bl til

general nature it brings the cargds value to almost $1,500,000, accord- ing to an estimate made by an of- ficial of Pickford and Black. ag- ents for the steamer. This would indicate. it is stated, that the but- ter is not high in price.

The Devon is the first vessel to

bring butterto Halifax this season ,.

from New Zeelsnd. but others. with! smaller consignments docked last‘ year. with. it b: claimed, a marked effect on the market prices for dairy. products prevailing in eastern Cen_ ads. Within the last few months a‘ steady agitation had been going on.‘ seeking the repeal of the New Zea- land tariff urrru gements unde" which butter is permitted to ente" Canada. at a duty which is lower than duties on dairy products im- posed by almost all other nations 1n the world. In a comprehensive re- view of the situation in Nova. Sco- tla. provincial omclals connected with the dsirying industry stated that at this season the price of but- ter ln the eastern part of Canada had-failentto. Jevels lower than those prevlillihg during the summer months when costs of production are at n minimum. This was con- sequent upon lmportations through Montreal which is a large market for dairy products of all kinds.

The shipments of butter frorr New Zeslaud are made possible. l ls stated. by the low freight rate by steamship. the fact that summe" prevails at this time of year, witl rich pasture lands available. and by the low duties imposed by the Do- minion on imports of this nature.

( Cflnltlion Press)

—The council cf the League of Nations today decided to send a new appeal to Bolivia and Paraguay t0 settle their border disutc by Poc- ific methods and ln the meantime to refrain from molltary measures. LA .PAZ. Bolivia. Dec.. 15.-—Thc Bolivian ‘ reply to the Ieegue cf Nations was made public today. It said that Paraguay pad been guilty or aggression in attacking s smell Bcllvlen gan-lson with superior numbers killing 20 soldiers. two cf- licers and taking the remaining membe of the garrison prisoners after setting fire to the living quar- tcrs.

The reply continued. “Paraguay had agreed with Bollvfn to submit all differences regarding the who oi‘ demarkation to arbitration and to submit 1o the peaceful solution c! all differences. Despite this agree- ment and in an inexcusable and surprising manner Paraguay. break- Ing Articles l0 and 13 of the Caven- mt o1‘ the League cf Nations. com- mitted the aggression which we denounce sclemnly to the council." The reply then said that the coly iuty left to Bolivia was to exact satisfaction and in case satisfaction was not forthcoming t0_ take such nuliiary measures as might bonec-

vla's security. Action by League Council

LUGANO. Dec. lt-The Secre- tary of the League of Nations t0- nlght prepared communications in Paraguay and Bolivia. each eon- talnlng the othcr-‘s notes on their Border dispute received thus for by the League Council . The action was in swordlnofl with today's decision of the wifictl ‘ to send the Bolivian point of view 1o Paraguay and the Psraguayln mint of view to Bolivia.

While the Latin-American memb- -rs of the-council have adopted en lttltutle of reserve regarding tho vounelrs activities in the affair the volnion was. heard in other ouart- ers that the council should adopt a ncre productive attitude in the pre- ‘eht. situation. This onlninn holfl that if the council should _flnd that one or both States stcadllstly tie‘- :lined to settle their dispute by er- litration sndpcw hostility should arise. the council should initiate some steps to determine the eggree :01" nation and consider the advise blllty of taking further action.
