It was announced that with proper organization, Canada could replace the United States, now the chief supptlcr of cotton to Lancashire, because the new fabric would re- quire as much flax as cotton and when in» fsetuicd will be so cheap that it will render the British Em- pire no longer subject to stress of Japanese competition.

If these possiblllws materialize. Judge Arsenault believes a large flax industry can be developed in Prince Edward Island, where tho soil and climate have b:cn proved to be perfectly suited fol- the grow- ing of a quality oi flax not inferior to the Irish product.

“The reason why the industry has not developed here," he said, "is through no fault of nature. It is simply because we lacked modern equipment for processing the ma- terial. and the market for the row product w ‘ not considered suffic- iently profitable to warrant the growing of flax on s. large scale.

A Home Industry

Judge Arsenault recalls that in his boyhooddays practfcnlu every Acadiun home in the Province grew flax for domestic use. The flax fibres were broken up. combed, sniln and weaved by a prccess brought by the original settlers from fiance, along with the looms and other equipment used.

It was spun on the same hand- whoels used for spinning wool; it was not: carded like wool, however. but simply combed. when bleached by being spread out on the snow during the winter, the material was pure white in color and of l. fine and very durable texture. un- dcrweer. as well as sheets. table- cloths, handkerchiefs and other linen, was manufactured from flex, the women vieing with each other in the quality and design of the work. 5'1‘ in the srt be- came e recognizer! family inherit- ance down from decoration

The German Chancellor ls expected particularly to urge extension of the proposed air pact to include naval as well as military air forces.

Last touches now are being plac- ed on Hitler's momentous reply, which will be delivered to British

‘and French authorities on Thurs-

day or Prlday. it was reiterated.

Meanwhile, informed observers found in an article in Hitler's mouthpiece, the Voelliischs Beo- bschier, hints as to mt least one salient point in the pending reply.

The writer, former Q01, Basel- mayr, director of the Nazi policltal bureau, and Hitler's personal ad- viser on disannsment, said: .

“Ono cannot see why the all‘ pact. should not include aid by land and sea air forces. Necessarily this pact must be broader in scope than the Locarno Pact."
