"What can I say on this occas- ion," asked Mr. Baldwin, "Except that I will endeavor to keep every birthday 1n the future in this hos- pitable country."

The leader of the British dele- gation then moved a resolution ex- pressing appreciation of the work of the chairman, members of com- mittees and the Secretariat. The closing addresses followed.

"It is a. curious thing," began Mr. Baldwin, “how typical of the con- ference has been your weather in Canada this summer. We were met with blue skies and sunshine. and we have had a great deal of that. We also have had storms, we have had thunder and lightning, and we have been nearly washed out. But we finish up the conference on the most beautiful day we have had. And that is an omen." '

Ireland and Canada

“Nothing can ever make us for- get our debt to Canada," said S. T. O'Kelly, of the Irish Free State, “and whatever changes the future may bring for us, one very certain result of the conference, as far as the delegation of the Irish Free State is concerned, is a. determina- tion to do everything in our power to create closer bonds of friendship between the Irish arid Canadian people." .

The signing of the trade treaties, said Premier F. C. Alderdice, of Newfoundland, was not the end of the conference. “It is no more than the beginning, and I hope that in due season we shall be having ari- other conference and that it will bring the British Commonwealth“ of Nations still closer together.‘

Historians in the future will find it necessary to open a new chapter with Ottawa, said sir Atul Chatter- jie, of India.

The British and Indian delega- tions left on the Empress of Brit- ain this morning. Leaving Ottawa on Saturday immediately after the second plenary session, they at once boarded the "special train and journeyed to Quebec. They were accompanied by the Prime Minister the Rt, Hon. R. B. Bennett.

"The conference is not a triumph

for any one Dominion," said Mr. Thomas. "It is‘ an illustration to the rest of the world that the na- tions of the mmonnealth imbued with our ideals, are prepared in their hour of trial to make sacrifice for all." ' Stimulated with the achieve- ments of the Ottawa Conference which had affected one quarter of the population of the globe, the world would face its problems in the same spirit as that which had animated the conference." MI. Thomas said.

CAPT. MOLLISON

(Continued from Page 1)

A crowd of about 2,000 pressed against the high wire fence and cheered as the Mayor's reception committee, 'led by Charles Mand, extended the city's official greet- ings to the flyer. Mollison was almost hiddn from view in the tiny cockpit of his plane. More than 150 policemen were kept busy as people tried to climb the fence.

The aviator was interviewed briefly by immigration officials and then pushed into an automobile and driven up and down the con- crete runway before the cheering crowd.

Captain Mollison said‘ he was "tired, very tired” and added he had not yet decided when he would take off again for the return trip to Europe.

The Take-Off

A smiling Scot who flew from the peat bogs of Ireland to a New Brunswick blueberry patch, today took of! from the rough field in which he landed at Pennfield Ridge Friday, and this tiny farming settlement, which fate had thrown into the limelight of world news, started settling down to normal again. ‘

1t was 9.58 a. m. (Atlantic Stand- ard Time) when Captain J. A. Moi- lison, "gave her the gun" and his small silver-gray puss moth hurt- led down Jim Armstrong's field over blueberry bushes and cran- berry vines. Thc craft flashed in bright morning sunlight as it sped over a rcw of evergreeri- trees am. circled for altitude. '

Then, before winding his course along the coast to Saint John, where he refuelled for the last leg cf his trip to New York, Captain Mollison dipped low over the heads of a colorful crowd which waved hfrn farewell with hats and handkerchi ‘s.

He expressed some ibviccrn about his take oiI. "It woulii break my heart if anything b ppened to the ship now," he said. After a cursory examination Captain Mollison ask- ed whether a 60-foot sectionof a fence at one end of the field could bt taken down-just in case he fail- ed to clear it.

That was O. K. with Jim Arm- strong, the owner, and in ' ‘ half a hundred volunteers, directed by the Canadian Mounted Police. were busy with axes and peevees clearing undergrowth and uproot- ing posts w clear the way.

After witnessing the OWN?" Games at Los Angeies, and trav- sllinig 10,000 miles by automobile. passing through four provinces and 22 states, Mr. Ray Pendleton, Sec- retary of the Y. M. C. A. accom- panied by Herb Craig, returned home Saturday night. Mr. William Henry, who was one of the party. stopped off at Amherst, and Mr. Bertram Patterson at BostonzDur- ing the trip cf more than a month they had opportunity to see mm? sights, lock into existing conditions, and view a. great variety of scenery.

Interviewed on_ his trip, Mr. Pendleton stated that the games were to him a revelation of the acme of perfection possible for an athlete to attain. With very few exceptions the contesting athletes had undergone the most rigorous training imaginable, some having as much as two or three years ac- tual preparation in events in which they participated, a fact particular- ly true of the United States team.

Conditions 1n United States at the present time Mr. Pendleton be- lieved to be very bad. The unem- ployment problem, he said, appear- ed to be serious throughout the entire country. In addition the con-

of acres of corn had no chance to mature or fill out on account of the drouth. The price of fruit and vegetables was very low. Tomatoes, oranges, or peaches sold at three, for a cent. Pei-ts of Tennesseefl Maryland, and Oklahoma were the only sections of the route which, could compare with Prince Edward Island.

"Though things here may not seem too good, they are certainly bright as compared with conditions elsewhere," Mr. Pendleton said.

The party left the Island on July 16, and made the trip across the continent iri two weeks including three day's stop. At night they slept in a tent by the roadside, They passed throughiBangcr, Me..

son was beset on all sides by peo- ple who wanted him to pose or n. quested of him, "please write your name on my autograph book." Carslined the road ‘for half a mile where it passes the field. Scores of autos were inside, the drivers, having paid Jim Armstrong a 50-cents admission fee. He was Ilaaslnz Dassersby with a sign. Many had come from points 50 and 100 miles away to see Mollison take off. St. Andrew's summer col- ony flocked to the scene. Mrs. "so and so." the society leader bumped into the wrinkled, horny-handed backwoods housewife as the two sought to "snap" the birdman at the same time-one with a. $500 movie camera and the other with a two dollar picture box.

A little boy with a hole in the seat of his trouseraripped a corner of! a "no trespassing" sign and borrowed a pencil from a reporter. With quivering lip he approached the pilot.

"Please, Mister, sir-I helped ‘em take the fence down for you—would you please write your name on this for me?" He held out the pencil and the lagged cardboard-sign corner. The captain obliged. ‘There were others, though, who did not fare so well.

"N0, I'm afraid I've done all I can do for the present, he informed the army of autograph chasers who besieged him as he endeavored to get his plane tuned up.

As soon as the 00-foot stretch of fence had been removed, Captain Mollison shook hands with d few friends, waved goodby to the crowd, and clilibed into the cabin of his plane.

l-ie taxied down the field to the far corner, swung his craft around —and was ofl to New York. Kent, in the Saint John Flying club plans followed him in a few minutes, and the excitement at Pennfield Ridge, was cvsr. -

_"I wish,"said Jim Armstrong, as he iingled a pocketfuii o? admission fees to his field, "that he had stay- ed a year. Now I've got to go back to fanning."

line.

Varying climatic conditions im- pressed the party. In the rnoiin- tains of New Mexico, Arizona and California heat varied between 105 and 120 degrees. The weather was delightful near the coast. A few delays in the trip were occasioned by cloud bursts, which ccvued the road with four feet of water, tires blowing up with heat, bad roads and detours. The mountain and desert scenery impressed the four- ists most.

With regard to the games, Mr. Pendleton stated that with a few exceptions the Canadian athletes were just outclassed. It was evident that Williams had not reached his world-beating form of the revious Olympics. The showings of Muc- Naughton, Wilson and Hilda E-trike were gratifying.

"The 100, 200 and 400 mctres were the finest events I could hope to see. In the 100 metrcs, the runners were in a group till Tolan in a magnificent burst c! speed barely nosed out Metcalf. The 10,000 metres in which Nurmi's record was broken by the Pole, Kusocinski, was a. very pretty ‘race. The winner, who ran like a machine, was hard pressed by the Finns. Two other outstanding events were the -pole vault and the running high jump. In the latter event it took four and a half hour's Jumping to decide a winner."

On the return the partytook a different route, longer by about 1,000 miles in order to see some new scenery. They visited the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the petrified forest, and civil war battle fields.

Throughout the entire trip Mr. Pendleton was impressed with the courtesy everywhere extended the party. M the games, the manner in which the great attendances were handled, and the events run off was little short of marvellous. '. "j athletes’ village was a remark. able feature as was also the Olym- plc track, the excellent condition of which no doubt made possible the breaking or equalling of 34 Olympic or world records.
