ST. JOHN, April 2-—-It was report- sd to the Board of Trade Council today that a market for New Bruns- wick potatoes existed in Great Brit- ain and it was decided to take up the possibility of having the present embargo on Canadian potatoes lift- ed in order that provincial growers might get a share of the business.

Some weeks ago the Board wrote lo dealers in England, not being a- ware then of the ban on potatoes from this side oi the Atlantic. A day or two ago an order ior 15 tons. as a sample order 5 tons each of the three leading varieties, ivas received from a dealer in Manchester. It was decided today to write the entomol- ogical branch, Ottawa, to ascertain if there was any way to assure the authorities in Great Britain there would be no danger oi‘ the introduc- tion oi the Colorado beetle through shipments.

(Canadian Press)

Ministers of the Dominion Govern- ment proposed lagislavflm approved at the Imperial Conferences of 1026 end 1930. The Easter recess and consequent absence from the Capital of the majority of the members. leaves the Parliament buildings nearly deserted, and one of the many large rooms will be made available ior the conference. It is not anticipated that it will prove a very lengthy affair, but there is al- ways a possibility when constitu- tional matters are under discussion that some hitch may develop. In that event some time might be re- quired to smooth things out. The proposed legislation which will be laid before the provinces, was crystallized by the Imperial Conference oi last year in the "stat- ute of Westminster." The terms of this proposed piece of legislation considerably widens the autonomous ‘ijurisdiction of the Dominions enjoy- ing membership in the British Elm- pire. Under its provisions. the authority oi each Dominion to run its own affairs without any hamper- ing influence froni laws enacted by the Government of Great Briatin, is given sanction. It repeals the Col- onial Laws Validity Act. giving re- cognition to the fact that the Do- minions are now full-grown, rc- sponsible entities in the Common- wealth.

Ontario ’s ' Legislature Pro rogues

(Special to the Guardian)

Government at the forthcoming election, judging by a letter received by The Guardian from an aged correspondent in Kills! Collnti- T!" "m". says:

"I heard Mr. Harry Butler, road supervisor, was out calling around seeing about old age pensions, but he did not call on me and I am one 0f the needy ones, over seventy years of age and having in support an invalid grand-daughter not able to work for years. Now. as he dill Mt M" 0" I" I am afraid I will be left out. Can you intern-dc for me? l was advised the best thing fer me to do was to write and ask you to help a poor widow woman. Will you kindly intercedc, as I voted for Pmmicr Bennett.”

It ie very evident from this that the Liberals are making use oi this alleged census for the purpose of misleading the electors into believing that they will be in a position to grant or refuse pensions.
