Lauds Ottawa Trade Agreements
(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)
KE . N.S.. Dec. ‘f-The Ottawa. Trade brought benefits to both Great Britain and the Dominion, Fred- erick Palmer, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Bristol, England, said on a visit here today. Mr. Palmer is a. native of Halifax.
People in England, he said, were at first generally opposed to the agreements, feeling that the Dom- inions, Canada particularly, were receiving the best of the deal. Opinion was swinging now, how- ever, to the stand the benefits were mutual. Canada, Mr. Palmer said. was exporting more goods to Great Britain than she was importing from that country, but much of the goods was sent in unfinished states, and British industries were beneiltting by the extra work re- quired to complete the manufact- uring processes.

General "PIER-fir Gough Finally V i n d i -c a t e d
(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)
LQNDON. Dec. '1 - Eighteen years after he had been recalled following the allied retreat of March, 1918, General Sir Hubert Gough. commander oi‘ the fifth army, has been vindicated by war- time Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
"I need hardly say that the facts which have came to my knowledge since the war have completely changed my mind as to the res- ponsibility for that defeat." the former Premier wrote the General. "You were completely let down, and no General could have won that battle ‘under the conditions in which you were placed.
Said General Gough: “I have been through hell in the past l8 years. I was deeply wounded at the time of my dismissal but I am very grateful to Mr. Lloyd George for exonerating me, following upon Mr. Churchill, the late Lord Birk- enhead and others, and for allow- ing me to publish his letter."
General Gough was appointed chief of the allied commission in the Baltic 1919, but three years later he was put on retired pay.
But when Edward J. Williams, a Welsh Labor M. P.. rose from his piaco in the House 0f Commons a few days ago and asked whatstcps the Government proposed taking‘ to recompense Gough, Prime Min- ister Baldwin said he did not think “at this distance" the government would be well advised to revise de- cisions taken by its predecessors.
General Gough himself has nev- er complained, firmly believing that one day his military reputa- tion would beh restored.
"It ltas Eome belatedly," he said,
“but that doesn't make the relief any less tremendous. Tremendous, that's the word. To be told that I had blundered was a shattering blow. It robbed mc of the per- sonal joy I gained from other awards." (Genera), Sir Hubert Gough had been held responsible for a share of the March 1918 defeat at St. Quentin on the Somme. For eight day's his fifth army defied an en- emy force of 42 divisions on a front of 42 miles. When the Ger- mans broke through his inferior forces and the line of the Somme was lost to the allies, the British war office relieved the General of his command and recalled him).

llad Narrow Escape In Shipwreck
(A. P. by Guardian’: Special Wire)
BOSTON, Dec. 7—Sixteen per- sons lrescued from the schooner Frank Brainerd revealed today they lived in -i/.=rror for three days as their dismasted craft rolled help- lessly in a raging sea 500 ntllcs of! Bermuda. -
The Lady Nelson of the Cana- dian National Steamships brought them from Bermuda where the rescue tanker Vancolite had land- ed them.
Among the nine crew members and seven passengers of the three masted packet sailing from New Bedford.‘ Nov. 17 for the Cape Verde Islands ofl the western coast of Africa were three children and two women.
Captain Benjamin Costa said {he upper section of the Brainerds 1ft mast snapped in a OO-mile gale urly Thanksgiving Day.
All three masts crashed to the leeks as James Walinson of New ledford, who vowed today “this sas my first trip as a sailor and .t's my last," clambered up to cut away the wreckage. -
He received painful but not ser- ious injuries.
Roque Pina of North Carver, Mass, climbed to the plunging bowsprit and hacked away enough of the wreckage so that the rest was carried away by the sea.
The vessel rolled like a log. broadside to the towering seas. Costa said, until early Sunday when the Vancolite came along- side. All personal effects were transferred with the passengers and crew, he said, but approxim- ately 80 tons of cargo was left in the rolling derelict.
For Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Vin- cente of Boston and their two children, Maria. four and Joe, six. it means another long struggle be- fore they can see the parents’ homeland. They had stored most of their goods and planned to live with Mr. Vincente's folks in the Cape Verde Islands because he found work here scarce.
They had just enough money to return on the Lady Nelson and to- day planned to re-carn the money to buy passage for the Islands again.
China Colonizes- By Motor Buses
NANKING, China, Dec. 7 -— A fleet of motor buses doggedly push- ing their way along the 1,200 mile desert read to Turkestan carry China's often frustrated hopes of making that vast area in the heart of Asia an integral as well as geo- graphical part of the republic.
Isdatecl for ages from China proper by lofty mountain ranges and trackless deserts, and during recent years by civil and tribal war- fare, Chinese Turkestan, or Sin- klang, has come to mean virtually nothing to China, and increasingly more to Soviet Russia.
Russian railroads and motor highways have been pushed to the borders of Sinkiang, and Soviet trade and political agents have crossed these borders to control sin- kiangls economic life.
For two years, Sinklang has en- joyed comparative peace. Upon the continuation of this lull in Sin- kiangb mternationai strife, Chins is counting to get its buses through to Tihwa.

UITAWA, Dec. ‘l -- A. Belgian minister plenipotentiary is expected soon to be added to the diplomatic circle in Ottawa, it was revealed by Prime Miinister Mackenzie King to- night. ‘The Belgian government had intimated. he said. that it desired to open a legation in the Dominion cflillilll. 1i B/Ereeable to the govcm- ment here.
"We have told them," the Prime Minister said. “that we appreciate the compiunent, and will be pleased to have a. Belgian legation estab- lished here." The move would in- volve no immediate reciprocal act on the part of Canada, the Prime Minister said.
Belief here is that in tho not distant future a. Canadian minister will be sent to Belgium.
There are already in ottswa 11111 ministers plenipotentiary from United States, France and Japan while the British government is re- presented by a high commissioner. Al Present Belgian government is represented by a counsui general in Montreal.

OTTAWA, Dec. 7—-Having con- eluded their public hearings Jiroughout Canada, the War Vet. crans Assistance Commission is now engaged in assembling and studying a mass of material. The enquiries of that body took it into all the large centres of population in Canada.
Colonel J. G. Rattray, chairman, in a statement issued here today says that "through briefs received from Veterans Associations and individuals, invaluable suggestions for the elimination of local and general unemployment among ex- service men were submitted. In each centre the commission made a study of the conditions con- fronting those unfortunate enough to be relief recipients."
Enumeration and classification of unemployed veterans has been de- layed by reason of the fact that returns on the commission's ques- tionnaire continue.to be received. Jan. 1, 1937. has been set as the deadline up to which answers will be received.
