investigation DisclosesNo Evid- ence Of Combination Likely To Operate To Detriment Of Consuming Public.

‘ian Press) The report was made by F. A. Mc- Ieb. 1d.-"do far as the Gregor, Rsgistrar under the I mbin- esllnvestigati IAct, as a result of com- piakits received irom Vancouver, Winnipeg Halifax and a number of other cities in the Dominion. From Winnipeg came a formal application which charged the exisisn of a local combine, while the Vancouver complaint asked for an inquiry info other wheat products as well as bread. Because of the time required for an inquiry into the trade in all wheat products, it was decided to limit_the present re- port to the bread baking industry. "In dealing with these complaints" the report adds, “it has been recog- nised that the scope o! the Com- bines Investigation Act docs not ex- tend to the investigation of prices unless combination or monopoly cp- erating against the public interest iii alleged or believed to exist. Even where such charges are made it is obvious that, in a preliminary in- quiry such as this, detailed examin- ation of possibleo-i-angements a- mong local bakers in each community is not practicable."

Mrs. Kenneth Richards. the re- citalist is a true artist-no higher praise can be given. Last even- lng she was in splendid voice, and her fine interpretive sense seem- ed, if such a thing were possible, to be truer than ever-to bring home to the audience in more distinct linea- ments, the composer's intention in each oi the songs she sang.

She first presented a group of three songs by Schubert-that com- poser wlthout a peer in the Lyric form. They were "Faith in Spring." the familiar, and none the less well loved "Serenade, and “Where To Go." Appropriately, there was in- cluded with this group, an old Ger- man Spinning Bcng, delightfully hu- morous.

This group was followed by one cf

delghtful old English Songs, "long, Long Ago." "Oh Deari What Can the Matter Be," and "No, John, No."‘ Then MrsJtichar-ds sang one of her own compositions, a lovely Lullaby, set to words, and capabiy arrlnltd by Mrs. Keith Rogers, who accom-i panied the soloist in this number. _ 'I‘iie recitalist next sang Santuazas ‘Bonanza, from the "Cavaiierla Rus- ticana" with fine dramatic apprecia- tion. And thuslaaticaily encored she rendered Tosca's Prayer, with equal taste and insight. Bhe con- cluded her programme with three songs, "Good Day, Marie," (Pesard); "Little Janet," an old Swiss Folk Song and 'i‘oati‘s "Good Bye." Mrs. Richards ‘gave true interpretation and its fuil value to the climax at the and of this fine number.

In response to long and continued applame, Mrs. Richard favored the audience with three encore numbers. "Oomin' 'I‘hro' the Rye." "WI-III.

Decided Upon By Do- minion Government —Death Knell of As- sisted Passages Has Been Sounded.

(Special io the Guardian)

OFITAWA, Feb. its-A two year im~ migration holiday has been decided upon by the Dominion Government. It is estimated there are at present available in the country sufficient farm workers. unskilled laborers, household workers and the like to supply all demands without bringing in any more until 1933. The death knell of assisted pas- sages has. been sounded. The British trained farms which were establish- ed at great cost to fit city bred work- ers for the wide open spaces, may cease operation; for the time being. so far as Oansda is concerned. fllld that virtually applies to the other Dominions, also because Canada ab- sorbed more British migrants than all the other Dominions combined. The only assisted immigrants now Qomirig to Canada are teen ago boys and a few farm settlers for New Brunswick. Ail others must pay their own fares and have sufficient capital upon landing to prevent them be- coming“ public charges.

I-OEANGELES, Rb. 16—C0i’nelius Vanderbilt Jr., relating today his ver. slon of the hlt-and-run automobile story involving Premier Mussolini of Italy, said he had been made "the igoat" by Major-Gen. Smediey D. ‘Butler, summoned for court-martial.

but later freed with a reprimand, because of his remarks about the story.

"I was riding with Mussolini, who drove," Vanderbilt said. “A small child ran in front of the machine at a sharp turn in the road and was hit. I looked back to see if the child was hurt. Mussolini placed his hand on my knee and said: ‘Never look back. Vanderbilt; always look ahead in life.’ "

The statement was made shortly after Vanderbilt arrived here from Phoenix, Aria. Several attempts t" locate him following the issuance by the Italian Foreign Office of a sec- ond denial cf the story were met at the homes of friends with the reply: "Mr. Vanderbilt is out."

"Scored Own Point”

Vanderbilt said General Butler "took a story of mine, twisted it around to score a point for himself. and made me the goat."

The United States apologised to Mussolini for Butler's remarks.

What Chicago must do is get rid of “Big Bill Thompson be- cause of his friendship with ‘Scarface Al’ Capone. ‘Surface Al‘ is not a myth. He is the worst gangster in all history. Bluebeard was arenknov- ice compared to him, and ‘Scarface Al’ gave ‘Big Bill’ $51000 for his campaign fund four years ago. 1f we are to get rid of Capone, we must get rid of Thompson."

Thompson spoke simultaneously at the neighboring Apollo theatre and strangely enough began talking about Capone at almost the same instant that Judge Lyle had the arch-gang- ster up for ii verbal buifetting‘. The loudspeakers in front of Thompson's theatre boomed his voice to the crowds without, thus: "That Nut Lyle acousm me of holding Capone in my lsip, and I want that chimpanzee Lyle to know that I've never even met Capone. I wouldn't know him if I saw him".

Change In Entire

Political System Probable In Spain

(British United Press)

MADRID, Feb. 16-11 change in tho ccflrc Wlitical system with far reach. i118 restrictions on the autocratic powers of the Throne, appeared m. night as a probable solution for the crisis which has seriously threatened the Monarchy. King Alfonso XIII turned to Don Sanchez Geri-a. con. stitutionalist leader, in his search m- a strong man to build a new ministry to succeed the dictatorial regime headed by Gen. Damaso Bemnguer, who resigned Saturday. Political lead ers believe that the present situation inevitably forshsdovvs the reduction of King Alfonsofis power to that of a constitutional Monarch, bluntly, a figurehead.

Sanchez Guerra conferred with the King during the day. He left the Pal- ace the last time at 8.45 p. m, and announced that he hoped to for-m a. Cabinet by noon tomorrow. He iridi- cated it would be a coalition ministry with a strong Constitutionnlist major- ity. Ssnchez Guerra, former Premier accepted the King's request that he seek to form s. Cabinet, dewite his age-he is upwards of 70—and ill health. The choice of Sanchez Guer- ra was taken to indicate that the King was vriiling to bow to the tend- ency of the times and turn to tho loft wing members for support.
