Charlottetown was launched here at seventeen min- utes after eight this morning at the Davie Shipbuilding Yards of the Canada steamship Lines. ‘As whistles on private, craft and company steamers lying on the shor- es were- sounded and a cadet band from Quebec City played "o can. ads.“ Mrs. Charles Dalton, wife of the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island cut the white ribbon releasing the trigger and the bottle of champagne crashed against the bow of the S. S. Charlottetown. The crowds cheered and the giant hew ferry. the heaviest ship ever built in a Canadian shipyard, slid graceful- ly down the slides and took the wat- er. About one thousand people from Quebec, Montreal and the Maritime Provinces watched the launching from ships anchored off the basin. Cally bedecked ships, decorated grounds, silk hats and morning coats among the specta‘ n and brilliant gowns of the women madethe scene a colorful onei mm the_ Maritimes came Hon. Charles Dalton, lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island and Mrs. Dalton, Premier Ina of the same province and many other leaders in public and business life. Hon. H. G. Csrroll, Lieutenant Governor of Que- bec represented ‘that province. Sir Henry Thornton, rs sident of the Canadian National Railways. the owners of the new vessel also at-- tended. Others prcqni; included members of Qpebec and Montreal

Minister of Railways and Canals in the Federal Government and the President and Directors of the Can- ada Steamship Lines. libllowing the actual launching of the new ferry, W. A. Coverdale, President of the Canada Steamship Lines , scented Mrs. Dalton with a silver plate on behalf of the Company. The ferry was then towed back to the wharf and a tour of impaction was made. Those pxsent were later guests of the Canada Steamshipa Linea on board the f‘ ‘ l. S. Quebec.

During the next few weeks the Ch-fotteto {I will be put through her speed trials off the basin and at Murray Bay. She will then go into regular service between Prince rd- ward Island and New Brunswick. Of heavy steel construction the ship is a combined ice barrier, passenger steamer and oar ferry.

They. However, Insist Upon Right To Ex- port The Pre War Total of Wheat Which They Say Is Conceded At Rome. _

(British United Press)

LONDON, May flit-The future re- lations between Canada and the Un- ion of Soviet socialist Republics are 80in! to become the central feat- ure of the wheat conference, accord- ing to an impression among the del- egates. l-lcn. G. Howard Ferguson, Canada's high commissioner in Lon- don and chairman of the conference, is apparently waiting to see what the Russians have to propose before mak- ing any proposals himself on behalf of Canada but the soviet delegates have already given private indicat- ions of what is in their minds.

It appears that they insist upon the right to export the pre war total of wheat which they say is oncedei at Rome, but for the sake of negot- iation they are prepared to give way to Canada on other points. providing this right is conceded. It appears, too that Russia is willing to abandon dumping in accordance with Maxim Litvinoflk Geneva speech because she wants to make an effort towards establishing general acceptance of the idea that the Russian and other ec- onomic systema can work side by side. In this connection, Russia wants to come to an agreement with Can- ada. She does not want to force down prices on account of her wish to establish credits abroad with which to purchase inannfaotared__ gods. and Russians in Inndon at the present time say that the Union is desirous of improving trade relations with the Dominion. _ flow far these declarations will work cut during the conference negotiat- ions emalns to be seen. but Mr. Fer- guson is lpyi‘ aching the problem warily, being anxious to protect Can- ada’s interests and at the same time ensure the success of the confer- once.

sia's delegation to the world wheat iconference today declared ' itself {wholeheartedly in favor of the Pol- ish and Australian plans for a world wheat cartel, but opposed to restric- tion o.’ world wheat acreage as pro- posed by Samuel R. Mciiclvle, hc:\' of the U. S. Contingent. Immediate- ly after the Russian snouncement, Mr. McKelvie told the conference he stood firmly against entering any international pool. The conference was facing its first major difference.

Mr. McNelll also made reference to the late George Pope.‘ who was returned to power, although he was only a res- ident of ‘the district for such a short time.

Mayor Lidstone was overwhelmed with the result of the nomination. an honor which he frankly did not expect. l-le felt that with the office of Mayor he was well occupied, but as it: was the unanimous wish of the people that he should represent them he would do his very best to look after their interests of the fifth dis- trict and the people of the island generally.

Mr. Heath Strong in congratulat- ing the candidates remarked that with every poll in the Riding fully represented and such a hearty and unanimous standing vote for the no- mination of two such men as have been chosen tonight, the cause oi’ the Conservative Party would be well taken care of at the coming election and he felt confident that Mr. Stew- art and his Government would be returned to power at this election.

Mr. Strong then called upon Mr. J. F. Arnett. to present to Mr. G.
