West Indies Commer- The Canadian Gov-

‘By ‘the ‘Agreement ‘between the (‘rove-rninent olf Canada and ‘the variouis Governments in til-ls ‘part of ulle world signed on Ju-ne 18th. 1920. and ‘afterwards lroltifletl ‘by the‘ neiapecvlve Gowurmenlbs — an agreement. by ‘tfile way, which is still in force. and ‘but for the recent new Trade Agreement would have remained iii force until ‘the end of 1930—the ‘Canadian. Government. agreed to ‘use its best‘ endeavours‘ ‘to arrange for a mall pa gm‘ and freight steamship ‘service to come unto effect as ‘soon as D05-

yeaus." That service was to be weelkly, and ‘the type of siteamcr descrllbieitl was very much as in‘ the recent Trade Agreement. except ‘illicit ‘the speed was ‘l2 as against 14 ‘knots, and there was no stipula- tion as regards reifrlg-zinitltiu pzicc. In return. for ‘this scvvlr-c till‘ var- ious Governments agreed to coil- tnbbute vumious annual silnis. that of British Guiana being £7,500.

‘OTTAWA. Oct. 1‘2.-During tlhe Borden and ‘Meiglhen administra- tions. Liberals attacked whait ‘they designated a “Government ‘by Order-in-Councll" and "Govern ment by Royal Commission." l1 "is true there were many orders-in- counoll of a legislative character but this "was due t/J the war and ‘post-wall- periods. when ‘time was the essence of efficiency and the war would not wait ifor paoliulnent to meet and. act, lid ‘that ailihor- ity was conferred on the govern- uleiit to act under the ‘War ‘Measur- es Act. When vhis act was repewled legislative action res/uinr-d its nor- mal course.

lit ‘is also ‘true i‘n t-lie war and post-war periods many ‘royal oom- misslons were ‘appointed as ‘the t-iuies. conditions and problems were abnormal. The best minds of the country were req-ulsitloned to aid during tile war and. denlobiliza- tilon periods. Those royal commiss- ions differed flroni the type‘ ‘impos ed on Canada by ithe ‘King govern- ment in that they accomplished much and cost llltltle as most of the members of these commissions vol- unteered their services.

When the K-ing government took ovi/r office the wair and (lemobllilzn- t-lon were passed, and there was li.o necessity ‘for any departure from the ordinary ‘legislative pro- ceedure. yet the King govenmeut by order-‘ln-councll has perpetrated the most ‘flagrant and illegal abus- es. Two years ago by order-in- counlcll ‘the King Government hand

inent. ‘This. waatiagmat-ly ‘illesfli and the government ‘has steadily re- fused ito prbduce lt'll‘ls orderiln- council.

There was an agitation which arose rfor an embargo on pulpwood. The government appointed a royal comznlission ‘to inquire ‘into the subject. lWMlle ‘thlls rllinmlssi-on was in. session. a secret order-in- oouncll was lpassetl exempting Am- erican ‘pulpwooll (soiltructs for ‘ten ycars from any embargo that ‘might be imposed. This was tliscovered by accident, and it ‘book weeks to sec- ure "the copy. While this govern- ment was publicly expressing l1 desire to conserve Canadian pulp- wood to ‘Canada they privately ren- dered by orderllnrcoil-nciil ilhl nocuous any action that might be taken ‘towalrd ‘thiis end. At ‘bile time the government needed money for

ibye-electlons and the American paper companies could afford for ten ‘years exemption ‘to conitinlbilte generously. , -

‘But-the wonst abuse of the order- ln-councli method ‘by the King 80V- ermneilt has lust coma to light. llt is ‘impossible- to seoulra a copy of the order-ln-councll. as ‘lustnictlqns have been issued to the Privy Council enrployees not to give out any ‘inii-rlnizilt-lon until alfter ‘the oloction. ‘it is known that ‘by order- lii-ccuncll the government has ‘per nrittctl the cildorsstion of $5,000,000 worth oif ‘bonds to ‘build the ‘RWYH Railway. The Ontario government wished to enter t‘his inlmlilg area with ‘tho 'l‘. and N. '0. without cost or guarantee ‘to ‘the federal govern- ment. ‘but was retiree-u by the Qua- bec government. ‘Now a moad -is to be ‘bum twice as ‘long and is i0 ‘be lleased -by the Canadian Nation- nl ‘and ‘the bonds guaranteed for 85.000000. The contract ‘to build the road is $1.260.000 ‘to ‘lay ‘the steel and equip ilt ‘WWI-l require not more thlan 8750.000 ‘but there is a bond issue- of 3.000.000 for 1-1118 $2,000,000. The question is who is to participate in this 83-000-009 rake-oat. '

Success o? ‘Locarno Conference Now . As-

(Special to The Guardian.)

LOCARNO. ‘Oct. 12——Tho Ger-

mall delegation notified "Mr. Cham- iberlain and Mr. ‘Brlaud tonight of their acceptance of the Allied pro- posal covering German reserva- tions as to the military duties as a League ‘member. . The allied ‘proposal is in sub- stance that until a general pro- gram of reduction of armaments is put into effect in Europe the Al- lied nations as League members will recommend that due consider.- atiou ‘be given to the special mili- tary position of ‘Germany as laid down ia- the treaty of Versailles. The particular form the comprom- ise may take has not yet been de- cided ‘but there appears to ‘be full agreement on the substance. uThis is believed to remove the greatest barrier -to the conclusion of the Rhineland compact and the entry ‘of Germany into the League of Nations. However it is now learned that the Germans have re- quested also special treatment with regard to the application of economic sanctions for offenders of the League's regulations. This is ‘not taken as seriously in Allied circles as the reservation relating to ‘military duties and some think it is put forward ‘by Germany mere ly for ‘bargaining purposes.

‘The most important officipl re- suit. of the Locarno confers ce to date was r corded Saturday when the Italian delegation‘ acting on in- structioas from Premier ‘Mussolini
