The full British cabinet meets in special session to- day, key members having re- portedly approved last night the proposal that Britain make a strong stand before the League of Nations for collective sanctions against Italy if she goes to war.

The United States Senate at Washington speedily adopted a_ seven-point pro- gram designed to secure American neutrality in event of another foreign war.

At Addis Ababa Emperor Haile Selassie warned in an interview that an Italo-Ethi- "Dian war might eventually involve the whole world with disastrous consequences.

Packed graridstands and cheer- ing throngs made the second day of the 1035 fair a momentous one in the history of Prince Edward Island exhibitions. Throughout the day there was in evidence that smoothness and system resulting from planning and experience in the handling and entertainment of a vast crowd. The horse races and night show, the judging of ex- hibits in the main building and in the show ring, and the great mid- way att-actions were carried out with clock-like precision.

From a point of vantage, such as the top of the ferris wheel, a wonderful panorama is provided at night Pibm in front of the grand- stand with its sea of upturned faces. varlcoloured rockets whiz skyward and explode into a mul- titude of stars. Bright lights from the concessions, the midway equip- ment, imd the exhibition building dazzle the eye, while the great crowd surges in diverse. currents through fhfgrounds.

Night. Show

The excellent night show pro- gramme of the Provincial Exhibit- ion, certainly drew the people last evening. It was by several hundreds a larger attendance than that of the Wednesday evening last year, which had set a new record for night attendances. Upward: oi 5.500 people saw a wonderful evening's show, which was started b! Charlie Chamberlain singing one of his popular songs, followed by Senorita Palmino, the Little Spanish girl, in her kickover act. Last evening she surpassed herself and came within fourteen of her worlds record of a hundred and twenty five.

The other Vaudeville Acts were the Four Fantinos, who made a great ‘ pression, the Hollywood Comiques. who created no end of merriment, D'Lcma who notwith- standing the heavy wind. carried through his act and stood on his head on the swaying pole. nearly a hundred feet from the ground. It was’ a superb exhibition, of nerve. The concluding act of vaude- ville was the Robert Cimse Sen- sation, and sensational it was to many thousands, hundreds of whom could not look at. it in its entirety. It ls without doubt meeting with a wondcrful reception here, and the people from the other province: who were present. say they never saw anything like it. even Ameri- cans. who have seen nearly every- thin-g in the great Republic. Charlie Chamberlain was heard in several iclcctlons, and the people were looking for more. The Cans- dlan Legion Band played mo!!! beautiful selections.

The Horse Show was eagerly fol- lowed, hundreds crowding around the ring watching with the most intense interest, the iudeins- The Ladies Jumping Class was very beautifully executed by the thNQ young ladies mounted on bcliiilfill Jumpers. The climax of the Horse Show was. of course. the Musical Ride. with the sixteen members of the P. E. I. Light Horse in full dress uniform. with lancu. going thrmgh the evolutions of the musical ride to accompanying band ifllillllr-l

beautiful sight, very difficult to excel anywhere. The fireworks was an even better programme than the previous evening.

A division of oplnioh already was apparent in the House as Mr. Roosevelt privately expressed his views on the sweeping anti-war declaration, including major re- versals in the United States Gov- ernment's traditional policy. it like President summoned to

MAYSVIIIE. 0lka.., August 2i-— Wiley Post's home town paid him its last tribute today, with sim- plicity and dignity.

‘Phe quiet aowd that gathered from the fanning countryside was far too large for the tiny church where the famed fliers body lay, and the brief service was conduc- red in front.

The Moysville service was ar- ranged to comply with the aged parents‘ wish, so those who knew him long before he flew to fame might attend. ‘The final rites will be at Oklahoma City tomorrow afternoon at almost the some time services are being held in California for Will Rogers, who died with Post in an Alaskan plane crash last Thursday.

OTTAWA. A ust 21—The Nova. Scotia apple marketing scheme has been officially approved by the Dominion Government upon the recommendation of the Dominion Marketing Board. The scheme em- braces tha counties of Hams, Kings, Annapolis, Lunenburg and Queens.

As a result of the regulation oi appim under the export scheme and als) of Ontario orchards having been affected by Spring frosts, there is an increase in the move- ment of Nova Scotla apples into domestic markets.

It ls proposed to set up a Market- ing Agency and it is anticipated that sales on consignment will be prevented. It is hoped that by regulation producers will obtain in- creased returns for their product.

Long and Arduous Session of British Cabinet Looms. ,

.By Thos. T. Champion) (Canadian Press Staff Writer) (C-I’. Cable By Guardian's Special

Wire) ‘

LONDON, Aug. 21—The full cab- inet meets in emergency session to- morrow at the unusually early hour of ten o'clock, indicating a long and. arduous sitting ‘is expected. There is a possibility indeed the deliberations on British policy in the Italo-Ethiopian crisis may not be completed in a single session.

The Foreign Office in the last 24 hours has seen representatives of all the great self-govemlng domin- ions. leaders of the opposition parties‘ in parliament arid other important political figures, called in to be acquainted with the dEtailed governmental view. ‘

Kept Informed

The Dominions‘ representatives who saw Sir Samuel Hoare, For- eign secretary, and Anthony Eden, Minister for League of Nations Af- fairs, were not asked to make any special representation to their gov- emmcnts. Their action is left to their own discretion. Sir Samuel. indeed, gave them little information they did not already. possess.

Also informed of the present crit- ical posltion, as is usual ‘procedure in circumstances like the present, were Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the Liberal opposition, and George Lansbury, official leader of the opposition and Labor leader.

Another visitor. David Lloyd George, was invited rather because the Foreign Secretary regards the wartime prime minister as an elder statesman with vast experience of European DOIitics, and in prepar- ation for the decisions that must be‘ taken the government is leav- ing no stone unturned. Winston Churchill was also at the Foreign Office. .

There is no question that the great issue is that of imposing and fin-

Liberal Propagandu And Prove Phenomenal Success Of Bennett Trade Policies.

OTTAWA, Aug. 21 - Canada's‘ record in sustaining her foreign commerce has been exceeded by only one great» nation—Japa.n—in_ the four years of depression. ac-f cording to an analysts just-icceived. here from the Statistical Bureau. of the League of Nations. There are some half dozen small coun- tries whose percentage or increase is larger, but their lesser trading importance makes oompariszn larg- ely meaningless.

Whiie world exports in the past four years have declined 51.1 per cent on s. gold dollar basis. Cens- da's exports are shown by the League of Nations to have declined only 49.9 per- cent. Canada. has resisted the decline, accordingly, more successfully than has the world as a whole.

Fields In Lot

The brush fires. both in Prime and King's Counties. continued to burn furiously yesterday and last night, with hundreds of volunteer fighters making desperate efforts to save crops and farm buildings from destruction.

In the St. Peters district, tvvo va- cant houses and two barns were de- stroyed as the flames continued to spread through a large tract of

oodland near Goose Blver.

Mounted Polk-e from Sonris con- tinued to direct. efforts of the vol- unteers, but a. greater number of the fannens stood guard by their farms, douslng n-li buildings with water as protection again; flyhg embers.

Early yesterday the blaze seemed to have died down.‘ but a strong wind fanned the fire into activity again at sunrise.

All residents of the fire-swept district turned out immediately. but grain crops In the vicinity were destroyed as the flames swept- for- ward.

IN PRINCE COUNTY

Since the outbreaks at Elierllic and East Bldcford on Monday, it is reported that more than 2,000 acres of brush have been destroyed by the raging flames.

The fires at Portage, Lot 11 and MacNeilPs Mills were still raging last night and the residents are still fighting the flames. Several houses at Lot l1 were in danger late last night. All day long at Portage the fire crinced Mr. Shar- bell's store and a large quantity of goods were removed to places of safety. The flro at Portage died down a little on Tuesday evening but started up again early Wednes- day morning.

Reports late last night indicated that the wind was still very high and the fire was sweeping through Lot l1 and several houses were In great danger of being destroyed. Portage station was out of the line of fire.

At MncNellPs Mills and Elliot-silo the firc ls still raging in the woods. The fire fighters are digging tren- ches round the grain fields to safe- guard their crops. Every effort. is being made to keep tin flames con- fined to the woods. 0'Lcary citi- zens have been very generous in loaning their new fire fighting equipment to fight the fire. Sum- merslde loaned their hand plump which has also helped considerably in keeping one fire away from the properties in the vicinity of the conflagratlon.

At Summerside for several hours yesterday afternoon the sun was al- most obscured by smoke which drifted across from the New Bruns- wick shorc where large forest fires are raging. The high wind blowing from the west at the time caused many citizens to think that the fire raging in the west was coming towards Somme side, as the smoke appeared to be coming from the vicinity of ltflaconche and North St. Eleonora. "‘ qniries however. brought the news that the fir-e in the woods had not yet reached Mlscouchc, being some 25 miles: further west. The wind died down‘ somewhat at Summersld about six o'clock and the skies cleared.
