League Delegates Ann0uncedBy The Prime Minister

. (Canadian Prom)

OTTAWA, 0nt., Jan. l3.-So long as the conscription of men for mil- itary service and the expenditure of millions of dollars on’ armaments continue, so long will the danger of war exist, Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett declared here today. The Prime Minister's remarks followed the ac- ceptance of a monster petition com- piled by the League oi.’ Nations So- ciety in Canada and the Women's International League of Pine: and Freedom. It was presented by Dr. H. M. Tory, President of the society, and associated with him was Sena- tor C. P. Beaubien.

In the course of his brief observa- tions the Prime Minister announced that Canada's delegates to the Dis- armament Conference at Geneva next month will be Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley, Hon. Maurice Duprc, Solicitor General ,and Miss N. W. Kydd, President of the National Council of Women.

The life of democracy depended upon the maintenance of peace, the Premier said. He felt that the peti- tion, which contained 480,010 signa- tures, would be "an added induce- ment to our Canadian delegates to express our views favoring disarma- ment as strongly as possible at the conference."

MINGLING OF SEXES AMAZES U. OF T. EDITOR

VANCOUVER, Jan. i3 — Fume mingling o.’ sexes at University of British Columbia. caused amazed

ejaculations from W. H. Payton, editor oi‘ the University of Toronto Varsity when he vistcd the univer- sity here yesterday.

Here are-some of the things that astounded him: »

Co-cds going to tea with men stu- dents on campus.

Men and women students sitting side by side in classrooms.

Men students having to remove hats on entering university build- ings.

At Toronto University, said Pay- ton, men were allowed to wear hats into college buildings long before women‘ were ever allowed inside doors.

“And why should we change such an old custom by advent of women," he asked.

In Toronto, co-eds dining or "tea- ing" at the same restaurant as men students "simply isn't done," As for an undergraduate actually inviting a girl to have a meal with him at the university was an impossibility.

accounting be referred to the incom- ing executive to take thc matter up with local and’ Federal government representatives.

On motion of Mr. McLeod, the meeting then adjourned.

PRESIDENTS REPORT

The following report was sub- mitted by the retiring president, Mr. George J. Tweedy:

Tonight I present for your con. sideration, and I hope your flpprq- val, a report of the past year's ac- tivities of The Charlottetown Board of Trade. In doing so, I wish to emphasize the fact that it is the forty-fifth such report presented by this Board. If we were to allow twenty-five years of the life of an individual for preparation, then in forty-five years more the allot- ted span of life would be complet- cd. So that, now, we can get some idea of thc great tasks which this Board has undertaken, and in ma- ny instances saw completed, dur- ing its forty-five years of service. In preparing this report I have deviated from the precedent estab- lished by previous reports of The Presidents of this Board. It had become the custom to give sure- sume of the year's activities of the Province and a statistical report of our various industries. This in- formation has already been given in tho press and is available through other sources to those who seek such information. I am going to confine my remarks, therefore, to the actual work ac- cbmplishcd by the Board with a view to stimulating greater inter- est in its activities and to inform‘ our people, particularly our young business men, of the great oppor- tunities this Board has to offer for service. To follow the working of this Board for a season is in real- ity to take a short-course in the political and commercial life of our Province and City.
