CRUISER PROGRAM

(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON, Feb. 8-W. C. Bridge-

man, Fh~st Lord of the Admiralty today spiked reports that the gov- ernment was about to postpone the 1929 cruiser construction program. Replying to a question in the House of Commons, he said that anange- menis for ordering two cruisers laid down, one this month, and the other in March, were proceeding.

Two days ago reports of the pro-

posed postponement were published in several London newspapers. They were based upon the fact that Ad- miral Sir Charles E. Madden, chief of naval staff and nrst sea lm.. had conferred at the House of Commons with Mr. Bridgeman, Prime Minis- ter Baldwin and other cabinet men. The Admiralty said then,_however, that Admiral Madden's appearance at the parliament buildings had notn- ing to do with cruisers.

TORONTO, Feb. 8.-Evidence that

the Maritime Provinces are endeavor- ing to keep tourist traffic active in Canada, especially in having Cana- dians visit their provinces, is shown in the opening here this week of the Maritime Provinces trade commis- sioner‘s office.

"Since we opened this office we

have received many inquiries for Maritime products and several firms have \vritten in seeking trade con- uections.

RISE IN BANK RATE

SHOCKS LONDON

(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON, Feb. 8-The Bank of

England today announced a rise in the bank rate from 51-2 per cent.- and thus gave financial London its greatest shock in many months. Busl ness men were filled with dismay. Dis- appointment was immediately ex- pressed by leaders in the "city" who said the increase would give British trade a serious setback, and there were predictions for higher prices, lessened profits and more unemploy- ment as a. result.

Almost the only good word said for

the bank's action was that it would check speculation in New York and elsewhere. Hints of the impending rise have been circulating in stock brokers oflices ever since the heavy gold withdrawals to the United States. When sterling exchange improved yes terday, many observers thought the danger past. Leading financial news- papers tried to calm their readers fears but they were wrong.
