i Keynote of the Labor challenge‘, was set by George Dambury, the veteran Laborlte who f; now lead-_ ing the party. when he set forth a Labor policy ‘demanding In the ultimate aim total disarmament of all nations, I-Ie would substitute an‘ international police force. l

Jammed to the doors as the

members flocked back for the inn‘ portant session, the House had previously heard Neville Chamber-i lain announce a. token payment to' the United States on the December war debt instalment, and Walter Runcimarfs announcement Britain would withdraw from the World Tariff Truce. both of which evoked cheers. Opening the disarmament debate Sir John said he frankly recognized the gravity of the present situ- ation; nevertheless "deplorably ex- aggerated statements" had been made concerning it.

Gives Facts

He gave facts and figures to show exactly how substantially Great Britain had reduced her forces. He called it an outrage for anyone to seek to exploit British sentiment by pretending there was any dif- ference between the government and the opposition in the desire for peace. _ He declared Great Britain "is using and will continue to use cv- ery effort to promote international conciliation and disarmament. Her main policy must be to reconcile the French and German cases. "The most material contribution to restoring the confidence of Eur- ope," he said, "would be In inter- national uisarmamcnt wlreement to which Germany must be a party." r ' Germany's abrupt withdrawal from the League and the Disarma- ment Conference he described as absolutely unjustified and as "shock tactics." That the German claim statements in the steering committee of the conference had prompted their withdrawal was wrong, he declared, was amply il- lustrated by the fact he had bare- ly concluded his statement in the Steering Committee on Oct. 14 when the German government laiulched a long and evidently carefully prepamd statement along with a pl function on the elec- tion and plebiscite.

Hay Crop In England And Wales

The progress of events has con-l tinued to indicate the probability oi a shortage of high-quality hay ini England and Wales before next year's harvest is available, writes Mr. Harrison Watson, Canadian ‘Trade Commissioner in London, in the forthcoming issue of the Oom- mercial Intelligence Journal. In many districts the absence of second growth has created bare pastures to the extent that the feeding of stock by hay has already been resorted to. In view of the almost general an- ticipation thct theimportatioh of fair quantities of hay will be neces- sary. it is unfortunate that Canada appears. according togenerai report, to have also suffered a short crop of hay, especially in the sections which produce the hay which Can- ada, ships to the United Kingdom in years where imported supplies arc wanted. \

Einstein May Not Teach At Princeton

PRINCETON, N. J.. Nov. 7.—Af- ter two weeks spent largely in seclu- sion, it became evident today that Professor Albert Einstein will not teach in the first term of the new institute oi advanced study at Princeton University.

In fact to nineteen mathematici- ans from the faculties of American and European universities who have Y come here in high hopes of sitting , at the feet of the master, whether j he will get around to teaching at all ‘during the six months of his stay here is entirely speculative.

But they do not feel critical of the great savant because of that. The? think he is iormulatinfl l m“! theorem and it is their hope that he will announce it while they are here.

Announcements of Einstein theor- ems are important. His first un- nouriccment made when he was a very young man scrapped all previ- ous concepts of time and space. Years later he announced a. theory that replaced Newton's law concern- ing the law of gravitation - both milestones in the history of scientific thought.

While he has been on the Prince- ton campus, Einstein has spent prac- tically all his time in his room in the little white clapboard Peacock Inn. even having all his meals ser- ved there. His first meeting with a group of the faculty was last night, when he and Mrs. Einstein attended a dinner in his honor.

Crowd Gathers

Long before ins hour set for the csumed inquest into the death of laud today, hundreds of humble sher foils from far flung parts o. saspe Peninsula thronged the head- quarters of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police here. Shivering in the cold wind that swept in from the sea they waited from almost noon

until five o'clock when police arriv- ‘

ed with Phillips. Word had. spread that the boy had confessed. to the most startling crime ever to occur in Gaspe and the crowd gaped in amaument as he walked slowly be- tween police officials into the hall.

While the crowd waited for the beginning of tho inquest police were concluding their investigation and attempting to add to the circum- stantial evldence obtained. Accord- ing to police evidence submitted to Coroner Dr. Camille Poullot the boy was questioned in his Perce, Que. jail cell after signing the confession by Chief Rosario Lamire, of the Quebec Provincial Detective Bureau.

The signed confession told tho lame story with small additional de- tails.

It is also interesting to nOfb that .ii ninety-nine cases out of a bun-I lred, prosecutions are obtained on nformation secured by the police officers themselves. Many anony-i mous communications are received. purporting to give names of witness- ; es but when taken into court these cases usually result in dismissal due to unreliable or i ‘ to evidence. Questioned on this point by a Juardian repres tative, Inspector‘ vripps stated the difficulty of ob- taining convictions was enhanced by the unwillingness of many citizens to give specific information, who nevertheless claimed to be in a posi- tion to do so. He asked the reporter to emphasize the fact that in all cases communications are treated as strictly confidential, and are thor- oughly investigated.

No political interference of any kind has been offered in the en- forcement of the law. “Whenever we have laid an information," de-

The attention oi every doctor in the Province has been called by the Commission to the need of strict compliance with the law. Two letters and an ex- cerpt from the Act dealing with this subject. have been sent to every doctor, appealing for their fullest co-operation. Each of the sixty-l five doctors in the Province has been notified that lists and address- es of residents of suspected premises have been prepared both for Char- lottetown and Summer-side, and that copies of these lists have been placr ed in the hands of every vendor, with instructions not to fill certif- icates bearing the names of such persons.
