July 21—(CP)—O position Leader R. B. Bennett tal ed two hours with newspaper men today but left them completely in the dark as to his future relationship with the conservative Party. He gave however, what was taken as an

Party had not been reached.

“I will talk about anything," the former Prime Min- ister said. greeting a party of re- porters who boarded the Mont- calm at Father Point. “Bilt." he added, "I will not ta‘k about my- self nor about my_ health."

Month In Germany

After a long discussion by Mr. Bennett of conditions in Europe. particularly in Gemiany where he spent a. month at a health resort, he was again asked if he could give some indication of the dec- ision he would announce to his colleagues in the Conservative rty.

“Perhaps? the former Prime Minister said."‘you are asking me for something I haven't got." All attempts fa‘led to elicit from him any discussion of the po‘ltlcal situation in Canada. I-le said he did not know if a date had been fixed for a meeting with his followers in the-House of Commons.

Returning from a two month visit to England and Germany, ac- companied by his sister, Mrs. W. D. I-Ierridge. Mr. Bennett will dis- embark in Montreal tomorrow and reach Ottawa at noon.

As the procession trailed in the beautiful Piazza Esendra, Achllle Stance, secretary of the Fascist Party, stepped forward and cried: "Guglielmo Marconi."

"Presenter" came the answering shout from thowands massed be- fore the church. This was the Fas- cist form for expressing that while Marconi was dead he still was with them.

IrSpark As Probable ,Sause 0f Disaster

r WASHINGTON, July 21- ] (APT-The Bureau of Air corn- merce sald today that fire, caused by an electrostatic

z spark which ignited a mixture

free hydrogen and air,

"Probably" caused the dc-

struction of the dirigible Hin-

1 denbur; nt Lakehurst last

I May 6. Thirty-six persons were . killed n the disaster.

“The cause of -the accident was the ignition of a mixture of free hydrogen and air," the Bureau's report said, “Based upon the evidence, I. leak at, or in the vicinity of cells four and five caused a. combustible mixture of hydrogen and air to form in the upper stern part of the ship in consder- able quantity; the first ap- pearance of an open flame was on the top of the ship and a relatively short distance for- ward of the upper vertical fin. The theory that a. brush dis- charge ignited such mixture appears most probable."

The report declared that suspicions of sabotage were unsuppo ted by any evidence.

Government hoped to sec o trade treaty negotiated with the United States but. primarily it must find a sound basis which would not con- flict with the broader tenets of Empire policy. Viscount Halifax, Lord President of the Council, :30- clared in the Hou c of Lords to- day.

Replylitlg to an appeal by the Marques; of Lothian that the Gov- erilmcllt work for reduction of in- ternational trade barriers, Vis- colult Halifax said the Govern- ment was not disposed to enter any international action towards trade improvement through conference until it was assured of success.

Moreover, he added. before tak- ing any action on the question of raw materials, the Government would wait for the result of the inquiry Premier Van Zeeland of Belgium had undertaken upon the joint request of Great Britain and France.

m PRAIRIES lllwlllllilNfi

UITAWA, July 21 -ICP) Canada's Prairie Provinces which in 1928 produced 544590.000 bushels oi wheat may this ycnr produce less than 200,000,000 bushels. Soirlc estimates range as low as 150.000- 000. And the reason is drought.

For seven successive years vns’. areas of western Canada, with south Saskatchewan as the centre, have suffered; and in that Pro- vince particularly a broad strip of territory just north of the United States boundary has ‘reverted to desert. Throughout the west more than 1,000,000 people are directly affected, and indications are that this year close to 400,000 persons would need help in the "drought relief."

What this means in monetary loss to the Canadian West was in- dicated today by Agriculture Min- ister J. G. Gardiner. He cited fig- ures he had given some time ago in the House of Commons winch showed that while the three good years from 1926 to 1028 inclusive yielded the Prairie wheat growers $1,180,000,000 the next three from 1929 to 1031 produced revenue of only $350,000.000——or a dead loss at. that time of $800,000.

BOSS CONTINUES

This loss has never been recover- ed. Year after year, since those days in 1928 when the Prairie crop topped the half-billioii bushel mark, the yield has been dwind- ling. In 1931 it hit a low of 301,- 181,000 bushels; but in the follolv- lng year there was, a rally to 42G,- 941000. The recovery was not maintained. The year 1933 saw another" sharp drop to 263000.000. And since then the decline has been steady. Last year production totalled only 212,000,000 bilshels.

Variations had occurred in the general drought picture from year to year, said Mr. Gardiner.

"The dry area. last year embrac- ed Calgary and a portion of south Alberta," he declared: "This year Calgary is ‘out’ and that section around Leth-bridge will have n. fair crop. Bilt. while there has been some constriction in Alberta, there has been an expansion in Sas-
