iixlinisters Gather In London To Discuss Grave International Crisis.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. Sept. zit-Great Brit- ain cleared the conference table tonlsht ior a full dress meeting of her cabinet. and some thought the EmlJi-‘d might be on the brink of new military precautions m the troubled area affected by Italy's row with Ethiopia.

Prime Minister Baldwin twice Burnnwncd key cabinet leaders, in- cl _’ ,, some members of the Im- Deﬁel Confereno Council, to Down. ins Street today. Other ministers converged on London for tomor- rows full "‘ ‘ gen“;

Observers recalled that the in. crease oi British naval strength in the Mediterranean followed last month's meeting of the cabinet.

John Bull meanwhile took pains i0 make sure that Il Ducc is under no misanprehcnsions as to the sig- niﬁcance of thc British ﬂeet move- mcnis in the southern sca.

ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING EVENTS. MEETINGS. ETC

VICTORIA. Sept. 23—The out- standing political fact which cam- paigning through the prairie prov- inces to the Pacific coast has dc- monstrated during the past week is the almost total eclipse of Liberal party prospects west of the Great Lakes.

That may or may not make for spectacular Conservative gains. it all depends upon the new political parties.

No fair-minded observer who la

disposed to face the facts frankly can iorm any other conclusion than that the issue in Saskatch- ewan mr- British Columbia lies with this U. C- F. while in Alberta it rents with the bocial Credit movement. But while in three o! the four western provinces third and fourth parties thus seem at the moment to be the forces most to be reck- oned with, three facts of highest significance are:

Strongly United

I. The western Conservative vote is a strongly united faction well organized with a victory de- termination and a victory optimism pervading it and it is growing daily. Premier Bennett's tour has given abundant iustification for this statement. From the standpoint of capacity meetings and manifesta- tions of the utmost oordiality of feeling from the prairie farmers it has been nothing short oi a tri- umph. If meetings alone were an indication oi’ success a Conserv- ative sweep of the prairies would be assured.‘

Not So Hostile

f. The new parties are not mar- iy so hostile to the govcmmcilt as they are to the Liberal party.

Their common views, both of the C.C.F. and of the Aberhart group, is that "they know where they are" with Mr. Bennett, while they thor- oughly misirust what they consider the attempts oi Mr. King at “pol- itical trimming" towards their movement. In fact. so strong is this feeling in Alberta that enthusiasm for federal action by the Aberhar: group is distinctly on the wane and a large section of its membership ls veering towards the view that Social Creditk best interests would bo served by concentrating on tho problem which faces the provincial administration and trusting to Mr. Bennett for a fair dcal from Ot- tawa. Premier Absrhart himself is

There is still time for the situation to change, but if it does it will al- most certainly be in his favor, for the tide oi prairie sentiment is running noticeably and strongly in his direction. In British Columbia the situation is a. little different, the 0.0.1". organization in that province having reached the peak of the power which the third party has achieved so far in Canada. Even there. however, Mr. Bennett is making a strong and growing impression.

Prairie Survey

At present a fair size-up oi the province by province situation west of the Great Lakes would be the following:

Manitoba will be predominantly Conservative unless the situation changes rapidly and may return as many as ten and will not return less than eight government follow- ers. Hon. Thomas Crerar. former minister in the King cabinet, is doomed to certain defeat in the northern riding in which he is a candidate. Conservative hopes arc even strong for the capture of Pro- vencher, a seat which has been called successively a Progressive and a Liberal stronghold, depend- ing upon the momentary allegiance of its member, Arthur Beaubicn. who has been able to change his party affiliation untl now so as to meet every change of the political wind in this constituency The re- port now is that Provcncher is solidly sold on the wheat and dalryiilg policies of the government and that evcn Mr. Bcsuliieifs pol- itical astutencss cannot save him from being supplantcd by a mem- ber who will give them forthright support,

Itaiy’s Geneva Spokes- man Dispels Rum- ors Of Imminent It- alian Break With League.

(By Wade Werner, Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

GENEVA, Sept. 23-Prem- ier Mussolini, through his spokesman Baron Pompco Ai- oisi, removed late tonight the stamp of Italy's official approv- al from the counter-proposals made by Aloisi to the League of Nations peace plan for settlement of the Iialo-Ethiop-

ian dispute.

Aloisi had previously inform- ed Salvador dc Ivladariaga, chairman of the five-power

committee which drew up the peace plan, of Ii Duce’s non- acceptance of the plan and had suggested minimum demands as o basis on which further discus- sions migllt be held.

lt was this “ofiicial" angle to the counter-proposals, denounced by some diplomats here as “im- possible," that had led to much pcssinlisln in League lobbies to- day coilcenling any hope for a peaceful settlement of the Italo- lithioplnn problem.

WITHHOLD CRITICISM

Aloisi late tonight formally noti- ﬂed Madsriaga that tho "observa- tions" whlch constituted rejection of the League peace plan should not necessarily be considered as of- ﬁclal, and as a result the Leasue or Nations decided not in publrsh Aloisfs criticism and counter-sus- gestlons. ‘

“It's a wonder she was afloat at

all," declared Captain P. Knee of the coastal vessel Home as the wrecked ship was towed in from Bonavlsta Bay. The Captains quar- ters and the forecastle were flood- ed, and it had been necessary to jettison most of the vessel's fish cargo to keep her above water.

When George and Harry Knee came upon her over the week-end she had been almost two weeks in that condition, with the crew strug- gllnil night and day to keep rlown the inrush of water. They were up in the rigging then, hanging on for life as the waterlogged ship rolled heavily in the waves. ready to make the final plunge any minute.

She was towed into Vnileyfleld, where Captain Jensen said they had run into a storm early in the month. while coming to Newfound- land from the fishing banks off Greenland.

“In fact," he told reporters jok- ingly, “We hope to get a settlement in time to get to the prize ﬁght in New York tonwrrow night. As long as they agree to sit down at the table and talk to each other there's hope."

The strike started at midnight last night after the miners and op-'- erators had failed to agree on a new contract to succeed the ﬁve times extended pact that expired at that hour.

Duff's mes- sage added: "l respectfully submit the amount tobeuskcd for is entire- too small and I will be glad to move a resolution in Parliament asking for a much larger sum as I feel it could be used to advantage and that the sale of fish in Canada can be greatly increased."
