FEARS BRITISH AIR PRESTIGE ;E N UA_N»B_EREIJ

(By, The Canadian Press)

LONDON, Nov. 17~R0bert Per- kins. Conservative, today attacked British air transport firms, par- ticularly Imperial Airways. for "endangering" Great Britain's air prestige by failing to keep equip- ment up to date.

He moved in the House of Commons that: “This House is oi the opinion that a publicslnquiry should be held to review the pres- ent situation of British civil avia- ilon and to make recommend -

tlons."

t The motion was talked out, without division, after LieufL-Ooi.

1"“ """'“’" “iA. J. Mulrhcad, air undersecretary

promised the air ministry would carefully examine Mr. Perkins’ charges and would discuss with . government members who are on the board of directors oi Imperial Airways the question of the com- pany's relations with its person- nel. . Mr. Perkins, a director oi’ sev- eral engineering companies, de- t clarcd British planes were the , laughing stock oi Americans, Ger- ,'m:ms and “even the Dutch." i "I ivant British aviation to lead (the world. -just as British ship- , ping docs," he said. “Imperial Air- j ways had to buy American and , German machines. Airmail has (left Croydon (London's great alr- ;port) in American and German lmachines, although British pilots 1 were employed. “The new airways lust belngop- ened up across Canada had to be {equipped with American machines. |The South African services re- cently ordered 22 German mach- t Ines. Australia has ordered a trial lmachine from America. Unless the air ministry wakes up to the ser- iousness of the position, British civil aircraft will lose the whole empire market."

Rear Admiral Sir Murray Sueter, Conservative, opposed a public "investigation as lnopportune. He urged the House not to take up a position that might destroy confl- denco of the domlnions in British commercial flying.

ISLAND nun RATE HIGHEST m n (IRINIIJN

Dr. B. C. Keeping Claims High Figure Due T0 L a r g e r “Old Age Group” Here.

(GP. By Guardian's Special Wire)

(YITAWA, Nov. 17 — Canada's 1986 death toll was 106,617, accord- ing to preliminary figures publish- ed in the annual report of the Na- tional Health Department today. This represented a ratio of 9.7 per thousand of population.

The highest. rate was in Prince

Edward Island, 11.1, and the low-

est in Saskatchewan, 6.7.

The Maritime Provnces through- out showed the highest death rule, with 11.0 for New Brunswick and 10.7 for Nova Scotia. The lowest throughout was the Prairie Prov- inces. where Alberta's rate was 7.7

and that of Manitoba, 8.7.

In British Columbia the rate was 9.6. The two central provinces ran fairly parallel, 10.2 in Ontario and 10.3 in Quebec.

The total number of deaths in Canada. of children under one year was 14,508, or a rate of (ill pcr 1,000 live births. 'I'hls was lower than 1935 when the rate was 71.

Deaths from cancer increased compared with 1935, the rise be- ing from 11,156 to 11,052, or u. rate of 105.8 per 1.000 of popula- tion against 1022 for the preceding year. ,_ ' . r

Tuberculosis accounted for 6,745 deaths. and all forms of pneumonia

7,260. Fatalities from motor acci- dents numbered 1,277. Cimuncntihg lust night on the

preliminary death toil figures for Canada, released yesterday, 1J1". B. C. Keeping, Deputy Mnistcr of Health for this province said he be- lieved Prince Edv/ard Island's rate, highest in the Dominion, was due principally to a larger “old age group." For the half century or so previous to the 1030's large numbers of Isond young people emigrated to other Canadian prov- inces and the United States Wrlii the result that the nvcriige age of the remaining population was h gli- er than in many otlirr parts of ill: Dominion, especially in the newer provinces in the Wcst. The lower average age was probably" reflect- ed in the case of slloiiéltCilOlVflll with a. death rate of 0.7 per thous- and, lowest in the Dominion as compared with 11.1 for this prov- ince. Of course the Prairie Prov- ince had the lowest death rate from tubcrculoss in the Dominion bu: that would not entirely account for its low death rate, Dr. Keeping remarked. This Province had had no epidemic in 1936 to account for its high mortality rate.

Dr. Wellington ‘Koo, China's chief delegate at the Brussels confer- ence, interpreted a Japanese threat of a blockade tonight as an attempt to scare the Conference powers away from any material help to China.

Japanese quarters warned that any decision by the Conference to fill Dr. Ken's appeal for material aid in the Far Eastern conflict would be regarded by Tokyo as l hostile act by the countries con- corned.

A highly placed Japanese de- elated Jaipan would have to exer- cise her “right under international law" to blockade the Chinese coast should the conference decide to send supplies to china.

OTTAWA, Nov. l7—A trade agreement between Canada and the Central American Republic of El Salvador, granting mutual most-favored-nation tariffs, was announced here today by Trade Minister Euler. It came into oper- ation today.

The agreement, signed at San Salvador Nov. 2, provided one ex- ception to favored-nation tariffs —advantaxes given Central Am- erican republic; by El Salvador will not be disturbed as long as they are not extended to other countries.

Canada's chief exports to El Salvador are wheat, flour, imor- ganic chemicals and paper, Im- ports from El alvador arc coi- fce. sisal, lstle and tampfco fib- res. '

In 1936, Canadian exports to El Salvador totalled $60,198 and imports from the republic were valued at $9,202.

HALIFAX“ VISIT

British Envoy Will H 0 l d Discussions With Nazis Chiefs On Colonial Ques- -tion.

(By The Associated Press)

BERLIN, Nov. l7-—Viscount Hal- ifax arrived here today for “in- formal" conversations On German- Brttisli relations and, accordlngto present. arrangements, will talk with Chancellor Hitler Friday morning at the latteus Berchtcs- gnden home.

The talk with Der Phiehrcr RP- parently will not be long, as Lord , Halifax planned to be back in Berlin Fridnv night.

Shortly after his arrival. Lord Halifax and Sir Eric Phipps. Brit- Lsh Ambassador, had a Sl1(\'l. visit with Baron Von Neurath, foreign minister, and then went to ahunt- tng exhibition.

Lord Halifax, who is Lord Pre- sident of the Council, expects to talk with General Hermann Goer- ing, aviation minister, and Field ltirshai Von Blomberg, defence minister, while hr», is here.

German newspapers generally treated the visit; soberly" although there were :1 fcw plcasantrics be- cause Lord Halifax arrived on “Buss Tag" (the day of repent- ance). a public holiday.

The newspaper Voclklscher Beo- bnchter said it had no greathopes "nny permanent solution" of the colonial problem would result from the visit. but added that if: might do something “to clear the air.”

The National Zcitung said:

“A quarter century of misunder- standing cannot bc cleared up by a. brief talk. Lord Halifiixs visit can only be a beginning or else failure,"

Informed circles believed the colonial problem would have an important place in the Hitler- Halifax conversations.

The solution. from the Nazi point of view. would be the return of Germany's possessions lost

through the Great War.
