i .

On Thursday evening the sum- merside Town Police were called to the Prince County Jail to assist the Jailor in quelling a disturbance which had broken out among the prisoners, allegedly due to their having obtained acce=s to liquor.

It is reported that force had to be used to subdue some of the more riotous inmates. and that during the disturbance, which was begziw stairs, some locks were dam- 118 .

Defence officers hailed this move as again placing maintenance of public order on a sound basis. (Since early in the civil war, an- archist bands, armed militia, and self-appointed proletariat guards have mitrolled Madrid.)

The latest Franco-British effort to halt enlistment of foreign vol- unteers in the civil conflict was welcomed in official circles but with the reservation that the dil- enima for the two great dzinocra- cies of the west is still the same- they have failed in conciliation ef- forts."

(Britain and France favored Step8 by the European neutrality committee to submit the civil war Ito arbitration and permit a pleb- ‘iscite of the Spanish people to de- itermine whether they wished Fas- cist or Socialist Government. The ‘suggestion met only lukewarm re- ception.)

BRITISH VIEW

LONDON, Dec. 27—(AP) - The government's views regarding re- distribution of the territories gain- ed by the Allies as a result of the Great War remain unchanged, it was stated in official circles to- night.

Britain's position always has been that the League of Nations must lead in any decision relative to the lands which Britain receiv- ed under the League's mandate, and that while Chancellor Hitler's coup d'etat policy might be per- missible in Europe it can not be allowed where the former overseas colonies of the Reich are involved.

Moreover the views of the Brit- ish Dominlons, especially the Un- ion of South Africa with regard to African colonies and Australia where the Pacific Islands are con- cerned, must be a dominant fac- tor in any territorial readjustment, it was stated.

British officials hand were alive to Germany's pressing need for raw materials and to the fact the whole problem of colonies may have to be recon- sidered.

The general tone of newspaper comment in regard to the Europ- ean crisis was hopeful, but there was no attempt to minimize the gravity of the situation arising from Germany's economic condit- ion and the danger of large-scale German intervention in the Span- ish civil war.

IIOPEFUL OUTLOOK

The Sunday Elxpresa editorially expressed confidence that "Ger- many will not make war" in a dis- cussion of reports that Hitler might make "a gamblers throw" by striking at Czechoslovakia or by more drastic intervention in Spain.

"Pay no heed to such conject- ures," the Express said. "The Ger- mans will not make war. For one reason alone this is certain. Ger- many is not ready.“

IPIIISIINERS’ I 0 T IN

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

SAINT JOHN, N. B., Dec. 2'7- New Brunswick is guarding her constitutional po"ition within the Empire and making her status evident.

The next legislative session will

known as the second of the 40th legislature, without. any ref- erence to Confederation. Before the present Government's life be- gan last year the legislatures num- ericai designations were figured from the time of Confederation. with the early 193s legislature known a". the 17th.

In New Brunswick George VI was proclaimed King "of the Unit- ed Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of this province, de- pendent on and belonging to the said kingdom."

"It is our intention to teach the history of this province as a prov- inc: of the United Kingdom," Hon. A. P. Paterson, Minister of Ed- ucation, federal and municipal re- lations, declared here. "Canada", in its present. sense, could go back no farther than Con- federation, he remarked“

Discovery Opens Up a Wide Range Of Pos- sibilities.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. 27——Pei"eiinial wheat has been found. Just what the discovery means to Canadian farmers is not yet certain but it opens up a wide range ot‘ posib- ilities which will be tested out by plant breeders on the» Dominion Experimental Farms in the next few years.

It is possible but not probable that a farmer may be able to seed a field to wheat and harvest crops of saleable grain from it year after year without the annual T8501‘ ol plowing, cultivating and sowing.

A more likely 0111001116 is the es- tablislunent oi a new forage crop which may restore to productive ure large areas of drought-ravaged land in Western Canada. .

Plant breeders have developed a plant with tile sccd of ordinary wheat and the long-lived roots of grass. Tliey did it by cross-breed- ing ordinary strains of wheat with agropyron, a perennial grass close-

of Eastern Canada and the crested wheat grass of Western Canada. About half an acre of it, represent- ing many different crosses and varieties, will be sown in experi- mental plot; next spring.

Seeds of the hybrid plants so far are smaller and lighter than wheat and scientists doubt if a perennial wheat suitable for bread making can be obtained. In any case an-

ways superior to perennial wlieats in Western Canada. If a good per- ennial wheat were obtained it might be useful in a country with abundant moisture, perhaps in the Maritime Provinces.

Optimism centres in the prospect of a vigorous, new, leafy, perennial forage plant with large wheat-like seeds. The seeds would add to the forage value of the crop and their large rize would permit the seed- ing doun of dry lands where small-

take root.

Small grass seeds must be SIJWn close to the surface of the scvll and attempts to seed dry prairie lands to grass have failed because with the drifting of the top soil the

Large seeds, such as wheat, are drilled into the soil and are thus more or less secure from soil- driftlng until they germinate. A

perennial wheat could be sown] successfully on such land Just as annual wheat can be and its spreading roots would soon bind the soil and put a 510p to drifting. It would produce gras year after year and might return a good yield in pasture or hay.

Cross-breeding was accomplished by fertilizing the flowers of wheat plants with pollen from grass flowers. Dr. J. M. Armstrong was In charge of the work which was a co-operative endeavor between the Dominion Experimental Farms, forage plants division and the Na- tional Research Council.

Dr. L. E. Kirk, Dominion Agros- tologlst and head of the forage plant division, was actively inter- ested and Dr. F. H. Peta of the National Research Council aided with experiments to determine the causes of sterility in hybrid plants. Dr. L. V. P, Johnson assisted Dr. Armstrong and part of the work was done at the Dominion Forage

Foreign Office officials said it was "not ‘mpossible" that Britain may Join with France, Germany and Italy to force peace in Spain if Hitler withholds all aid from the Spanish Fascist Insurgent re- gime at Burgos. These officials as- serted, however, such a move would be “only a variation in the medi- ation proposals of Britain and. France."

Would Be Called Upon If British Isles Are Tnvaded. Needed At Home.

LONDON, Dec. Zti-Canadian arid Australlm soldiers may not be called upon to sail overseas for the next year.

‘That is the answer given In well- infonned quarters of London to the statement of the Right Hon. William Hughes at. a. Legacy Club luncheon in Melbourne that air development has so destroyed nav- al supremacy that it would be dif- ficult to ship Aiistralian troops t0 Europe in a new war.

Transportation Difficulties

Only if the Mother Country were

directly attacked would Great Britain expect the Dominions to send troops to her support, it is stutccl. In event of a war in which Britain became involved by her European commitments, she would not reek man-power from the Do- minions, and this for two basic , reiLons: J 1. It would be too difficult a. task l to convoy largo bodies of troops j across the world in these days of fplanes and high speed. tying up . too many warships compared with I the value of the man in modern warfare.

2. The air arm has radically altered war, increzriiig .ilS tempo‘ so that the time lag between the; beginning of a. war and the arrival ,l of troops from overseas would be? comparatively much higher thanI in the last world fight. '

Furthermore, the geographical lineup for any war in which Brit- ain might be involved would prob- ably show Japan on the opposite side, which would mean that Aus- tralia and Canada could do more by keeping their troops at home as o. holding force to prevent any div- ersion campaign by the Japanese.

A glance of the map of the Paci- fic shows how essential it would be for Awtralia and Canada to look to their defenses and conserve their powers if Japan was fight- ‘ing on the opposite side to the I

British Empire. I

Would Disco age Volunteers

I All was well in the last war, when l the Anglo-Japanese Treaty exlstedI and Japan fought with the Allies.‘ .No\v there is no such treaty and a. fair amount of friction between ‘the former allies. That makes it I imperative that the new A. I. F. should remain on the home front.I unless, as it is pointed out, the. I United Kingdom is directly at-z tacked by an invader. Even then the time element makes it diffi- cult for Australia to send troops. It is understood that the British Government will request the Do- minion authorities to discourage any flow of volunteers to Britain in event of war, pointing out that all overseas manpower should be conserved for home defense. What Britain will need from the Dominions are supplies, food and war materials, and these must be carefully conveyed at all costs. That will take enough warships out of the fighting line without considering the conveying of troop transports, it Is stated.

ANGIII - ITAIIAN PACT REAIINEII

Nations Said Ready To Sign Mediterran- ean Agreement.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) ROME, Dec. 27—Reporte were current here today that the Anglo- Italian "gentleman's agreement" in regard to the Mediterranean awaits only formal signature to go into effect. _

The agreement, embracing only four or five paragraphs, will be signed in Rome early next week, it was confidently expected. A final answer is awaited here from Lon- don, where the completed draft has been in the hands of nego- tiators for the past three days, according to word here.

Britain and Italy pledged under the agreement to keep the routes to India and East Africa open to one mother's shipping, it was said. The original plan to stipulate par- ity of naval strength was aband- oned, reportedly because of the differences between the Mediterr- anean fleets maintained by the two countries. Britain has con- tinually deployed more warships in Mediterranean waters. As a result of a "status quo" clause, the Brit- Ish flcct thcrc will be 100,000 to 150.000 tons greater than Italy's.
