SYDNFY, N. 5., April 24—Twcn- iy lingo flying boats of Italy's llih year ocean crusade will first touch Canadian soil at Shediac, N. 13., upon completing their trans-Atlnn. tic trip on the way to the Chicago World Fair.

Advices from Rome brought this IIIIOI'E'.".E'.CII tonight to E. J. Julian, Royal Italian Consul at Sydney. The message outlined the full route of the "crusade," largest fly- ing squadron ever to tempt the dangers of the Atlantic over the old Viking trail.

Leaving Ortebello, Italy, on May 24, the squadron of planes will stop for refuelling at Amsterdam, Hol- land; Londonderry, Ireland; Reyk- javik, Iceland; Cartwright, Labra- dor; Niedlac, N. 13., and Montreal. From there, the planes will proceed across Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to Chicago.

T o u o h Canadian

proposals respecting the pensions of ex-soldiers in the employ of the iﬂovemment will not be proceeded with at the present session of Par- liament, Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Min- ister of Finance, told the House of .C0mm0n.s today. The announce-

ment followed a series of protests’

lfrom soldier organizations against the proposal to suspend pension ipaymezits to those who were em- ployed in the Government service.

Mr. Rhodes announced also that an amendment would be made to the Income War Tax Act to make pensions subject to the tax. Here- tcfore pensions have been exempt from Income Tax.

A tlilrd announcement in respect |to pensions was that on and aft/er

Y May 1, 1933, there will beno ad-

ditions of dependents to the list of those who are eligible or may be- come eligible for pensions. This means that children born to pen- sioners after that date will not add to the pension rate being enjoyed by that pensioner, nor may he add to his dependent list under any circumstances.

Mr. Rhodes’ statement was, in part, as follows:

“It was never at any time con- templated that there should be any discrimination shown toward the returned soldier, especially as con- trasted with what may be termed the civilian employee. 0n the con-

period of distress, an opportunity to the returned soldier who served his country faithfully, but who, at the moment, finds himself, through no fault of his own, without either ‘pension or employment, as con-

' are becoming more numerous and the question of who ls to fish for them has become a mutter of high political concern to the mmebers of Parliament from the Island Prov- lnce.

The Department of Fisheries has been leasing certain areas of the coast for oyster fishing and to- night when Hon. Alfred Duranleau. acting Minister of Fisheries, asked the House to pass an estimate of $15,000 for oyster culture the dis-

I cussion started.

i A. n. MacLean (Lib., Prince) complained about the leasing prac- tice. With the oysters coming back he believed tire public areas should be left open to all fishermen.

Purpose of Leasing

' Hon. John A. MacDonald (Cona, King's) said the areas being leased .were unproductive. The lessors would have to cultivate them and they would never become produc- tive unless they were leased and cultivated. Fishermen in Prince County were [up in arms, said Mr. MacLean.

They had organized protest meet- ings and appointed committees.

Some meetings were held, said Mr. MacDonald, but they_ were largely engineered by Mr. MacLean himself. This brought n protest and the remark was withdrawn.

Mr. MacLean then went into the history of oyster fishing. He told of the disease which wiped them out and insisted the fishermen claimed the Government was leas- ing public fishing areas which were now beginning to produce oysters. If cultivation was needed the Gov- ernment could do it as well as a private owner and leave the areas open to the fishermen. -

Fishing For Votes

"The member for Prince is-more interested in fishing for votes than he is in fishing for oysters," said J. H. Myers (Cons, Queen's).

To this Mr. MacLean reported Mr. Myers was a. good inland farmer but should stick to his po- tatoes and Ieavs oysters to the fishermen.

Mr. Duranieau said the Govern- ment had received some protests against the granting of leases. Un- der an agreement with the prov- IIICQ the Dominfon retained control over the oyster areas and was within its rights in making the leases.

The vote was passed.

GENEVA, Switzerland, April 24- Concrete measures to prevent mis- use of civil aeroplanes for military purposes have been presented by Canada, the United States. Argen- tina and Japan to the disarma- ment conference, which resumes to- morrow.

Canada, along with the other three countries, aaya it is unable to accept internationalization of civil aviation or international control over it. But if Europe wants such a scheme for Europe, it is willing to apply to itself certain measures of control in the hope of allaylng misgivings in Europe that civil aviation elsewhere might be clan- gerous. All four countries take such a stand.

The proposed measures are:

i. Prohibition of the incorpor- ation of military features in any civil aircraft registered or con- structed in any of the four nations. 2. Full publicity for all charac- teristic: of their-civil commerce aircraft.

3. A system of licenses for the export of all military and civil aeroplanes, with destination desig- nated. . _

4. Regular reports to the dis- armament commission.
