And Son Malcolm

' Only Cabinet Mem- bers Defeated.

(By George llambleton Canadian Press Staff Writer)

LONDON. Nov. 15-(0. P. Cable) _The National Government has swept the boards. lt has won a _ ' election victory more re- sounding than even its optimists expected. It has crested new re- cords.

When all the smoke ls finally elered away and the last count complete, the Government's clear majority will probably reach 260. Not before in the parliamentary history of Great Britain has a Government received such a vote of confidence after four years of service. It is also the first Gov- ernment sinoe the war which has won two successive _ ‘ elec- lions.

The Cabinet, however, suffered two casualties-the defeat oi Ram- say Macdcnald, Lord President of

the Council, in Seaham, and of

his son Malcolm. the Colonial

Secretary, at Bassetlaw. _ ' Nearsliefeat

Two other successful Cabinet Ministers cameperiiously near de- reawi-iome Secretary Sir John Simon, whose narrow margin of U42 in Bpen Valley came as a. sur- prise, and Walter Elliot, Minister of Agriculture, who had a. major- ity of only two in the first count at Kelvingrovc division of Glas- gow, although the second count increased it to 149-

Cspt. E. A. Fitzroy, Speaker oi the House of Commons since 1928. check-mated the Labor attack on his seat in Davcntry with a major- ity of 8167. It was the first thus in t0 years any party challenged the convention that the should be given an acclsmatlon.

Italian

Ethiopian Army Driv- en B a c k Towards Jijiga 40 Miles F r o m Fascist O b j e c t i v I

(AI. By Guardian's Special Win)

ROME, Nov. i5 -- A crvwnhig military success for Italy's "colon- lsl adventure" is almost within grasp, Italian correspondents on the East Ethiopian front reported today. '

They said the fall of iiarar. sec- ond clty of Ethiopia, was immi- nent. its capture would give ltsly virtually all of eastern Ethiopia and enable it to link its colonies of Eritrea and Somaiiland.

A southern Italian column was advancing toward llsrar in the high valley of the Fafsn ltivel‘. the pondents reported, after a pitched battle yesterday. Corns- pondenta said Colonel Mslettl and hi; force of "Flying Dubsts” were only about 28 miles from "his im- mediate ohjcctive." lie may ' halt for several days, however, to allow reinforcements to come up.

' DRIVEN BACK

"The flower" oi the Ethiopian afnty, the dirpstohcfsaid. i8 bolus driven back by Malettfs force. The tribesmen wzro reported to be con- centrating at Jijiga. qljiga is only 60 kilometres (about 4o miles) in a straight line from l-iarar. Soldiers cf the "flying column" believe thercforc they have only w push forward another 100 kilometres to engage the enemy.

with Harar "under the menace" of the Italian advance, them are likewise only a few more marches between the advancing southern army of General Rudolio Grsziani and Ethiopia's only railroad. The line dips sharply to the south in this region and at Dicdawa is only 40 kilometres from Harar.

Sharp Price Rise In Potatoes

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

HALIFAX, Nov. 15-Anticipat- ing a. sharp price rise in United States markets as soon as terms of the newly signed Canadian-Am-

erican reciprocity treaty become known. wholesale potato prices rocketed today from $1.00 to $1.50 per bushel.

A shortage was felt by whole- salers and four stcamships were loading potatoes here for United States and Upper Canadian mar- kets at an increased bid caused by diminishing supply-

Wholesalers themselves, how- ever, rxpxessed the belief the shortage would not last long be- cause the new pact would prob- ably not increase United States prices to any extent.

“The fnz-nvrs arc Just holding on to them right now with eXPlw- tations for one oi the highest mar- kets in years. but their b01105 11W going to be frustrated," one prom- iuent local wholesaler predicted tonight.

Signing of the treaty brings to a conclusion l gotiations opened last January and mooted much earlier. The negotiations were sus- pended during the course cf the Canadian general election but ac- tively resumed two weeks ago and rushed to a conclusion by the visit oi M1‘. King to Washington last week. While closely guarding contents of the treaty officials have express- ed the hope that it will greatly stimulate trade in a wide variety of commodities which will now be exchanged across the internation- al bordcr on a. lowered tariff schedule. Recalling that the treaty "places the trade relations between the two countries on a basis oi mutual agreement for the first time since 1866," President Roosevelt said it was an historic occasion. "I am happy," he said, “to have a part in zcmoving this anomaly in the re- lations between, the two countries which are united by so many bonds of friendship and common herit- age]. Mr. King said the treaty would not only benefit North America but, “all the world will gain from greater trade on this continent. The agreement will, I am confident, confer substantial benefits alike on the producers and consumers of both countries while safeguarding every essential interest." Secretary Hull, after reviewing briefly the rise and fail of tl'-.\-.ic between Canada and United states,

said.

"While many other parts oi tho world are slipping in the dirertion of economic suicide, the trade ag- reement between our two countries marks an outstanding step in the direction oi economic sanity."
