B ritish Budget Assumes Serious/ P ro p o rti o n s

LONDON, Aug. la-After an em- ergency trip from his vacation at his home at Losslemouth, Scot- land, premier Ramsay MacDonald ‘today held a six hour conference with Rt. Hon. Philip Snow‘ Chancellor of the Exchequer, and with leading British bankers on the subject of the budget deficit, which has assumed most serious Drop"- tiosis. while no announcement was issued it was reliably understood that the Premier and Mr» Bnflwdlfl agreed the budget must be bai- anced at all coats, although painful measures probably will be neces- sary. One of the immediate results of the day's conferences was the summoning. of a special meeting of

Approval Of Canal Project - Changes Seen — Dominion to Take Facilities For Navigation And Set Fresh Terms.

OTTAWA, Aug. lL-How the Gov ernment plans to proceed, with further reference to the Beauhar- nois Power Corporation and those financially fostering the project is indicated today.

One conspicuous fact is that, in effect, the company will have to start all over again in the process of securing the consent of the Gov- ernment and otherwise complying with the legislation passed at the end of the session following the parliamentary inquiry. Presumably the necessary proceedings will be initiated without delay if the works are to be uninterrupted.

The company. it is stated, must prepare and present plans for the works with es great detail as pos- sible, submit them to the Govem- ment, and ask for its approval. It will be for the Cabinet to discuss and decide on the terms and con- ditions under which sanction will be given. The old order in council had 28 conditions attached. These may be re-affirmed or varied or_ supplemented.

New Agreement Sought

It is indicated that the intention of the Government is to exact a new agreement. covering the whole matter. As soon as such an agree- ir.ent is reached. the act of the recent session will be proclaimed or brought into operation. This will wipe out the old situation and create a new one.

Under the old order ir. council, the Government at any time was entitled to the free use and util- ization of the canal for navigation. but ownership was vested in the company.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Muss, Aug. 12. —The opinion that freedom of the seas will probably never again be a serious issue between Great Britain and the United States, was present- ed by Dr. Arthur N. Holcombe, pro- fessor of Government of Harvard University, at the institute of pol- itics today.

Professor Holcombe told members of the general conference on the future of the British Commonwealth that the United States. “now that it may have a navy inferior to none," seems likely to succeed tovthe Bri- tish point of view concerning the freedom of the seas, and to cease to be interested in challenging the traditional British attitude." A view of the future of the British Com- rnonwealth "from the outside" was

“Liberal members of the Ontario Legislature, under the leadership of William E. N. Sinclair, K.

"According to rumor emanating from Kitchener. Mr. Sinclair may tender his resignation as House leader of the party, and be suc- ceeded by S. C. Tweed, M.L.A. North Waterloo, financial critic for the group since his election to the Legislature in 1929. This suggestion, however, was vigorously denied last night by several of Mr. Sinclair's followers. William J. Bragg, M.L.A., for Durham, and chairman of the caucus raid:

“i I never heard of such a thing- This meeting is just an ordinary get-together. We hold them from time to time, you know.‘

"Mr. Sinclair could not be reach- ed last night for comment. It is known, however, that it is at his request the group ls convening. and that a wide open discussion of Liberal policy and prospects for fu- ture, insofar as the Provincial par- ty is concerned is scheduled."

Work On Airport At Upton Farm Has Been Resumed And Is Being Rushed to Completion.

The Trans-Canada Air Pageant will be in the City on August B6 and 27, according to information re- ceived by Dr. J. S. Jenkins. The building of the airport on Upton Farm was resumed on Tuesday un- der the supervision of Mr. Ivan Reddln in order that the field might be completed in time for the Erect aerial performance. It is ex- pected that about fifty planes will take part in the demonstration. Before the work on the airport was discontinued several months ago due to lack of available machin- ery, the East-toWest runway was completed. It is now expected that the North-to-South runway will be finished 1n about ten days. The erection of office buildings, gas tanks, and markers, begins today. The telephone and electric light companies are, co-operating by burying their lines located on the North River Road.

It is believed that the pageant will be important not only from the fact of the advertising and fin- ancial remuneration which the Province will receive. but also in the impetus given air service and transportation fn the Province. The co-operation of the Govern- merit ,the City Council, and the citizens generally is expected by the air port authorities.

As incorporated air lines hesitate to allow their planes to land in un- licensed fields. the Federal Inspect- or of Airports, Mr. George G. Wake- man, will arrive next week to in- spect the port- Mr. Wakeman who viewed the site in May made certain recommendations as to the proper course to follow in construction. All recommendations are being car- ried out.

While the pageant is remaining in other cities only one day, it will be here for two days. Two fields of sixty acres will be available for the parking of cars.

Among the aircraft in the pag- eant will be an auto gyro plane which will be new even to citizens conversant with aviation. There will also be six fighting planes from the Department of National Defence with their mother ship, an eighteen passenger tri-motor Ford. Several American flyers of international fame will also be present for the meet.

An effort will be made to have Captain Errol Boyd, trans-Atlantic flyer, present for the presentation of the trophy donated by Mr. Har- man of Paris, President of the In- ternational Aviators‘ League, in recognition of Captain Boyd's trans- Atlantic flight last Fall.

s1‘. Joriiv, N. 3., Aug. 12—Air- ways linking all principal centres of the Maritimes, with Saint John the hub of activity, lies back of the inauguration yesterday of the new Saint John-Halifax passenger and freight service, in plans of the Eastern Airways, Ltd. "If business warrants expansion, we will extend the present service of Saint John to Halifax on to Charlottetown. The Prince Edward Island district is greatly in need of an air route," Fred Hartwick, super- intendent of the municl -al airport and director of the Eastern Airways, Ltd., said this morning. "If the Hali- fax service pays sufficiently, we hope eventually to link up‘ all prin- cipal Maritime centres. Naturally, the Charlottetown and other proposed routes will neces- sitate the acquisition of additional planes.

FREIDERICTON, N. B.,-While e. few growers in the centre cf New Brunswick have reported that Wt" atoes are bearing light this year, no fear is hold by agricultural vi- ficials that the crop will fall bo- 10w the estimate of eight million bushels in New Brunswick. Digg- ing will be in progress on a lafilfl scale next week and a reliable sur- vey of the situation will not be possible until the start is made. The blight. which is now account- ing for a high spud "mortality rate" 1n the Arocstoolr section or Maine, has so far appeared in i-ht

province "only in minute quan- tities," according to Donald J. Mc- Leod, Plant Pathologist, Frederic- ton. The only part; of the Province affected to date is the north, em- bracing lvlladawsska, Victoria and Carleton Counties, and the disease has not appeared to any extent to cause alarm. The situation in Aroos took is called “very bad” and a considerable reduction in the yield
