lThe labratory has also been working for many months on-the question oll the color of planes and

itbe experts have decided upon a! new dark paint, which has the ef-'

liect of so successfully blending the plane into the night atmosphertrss to make it invisible even within a ‘few hundred feet of the landing field. .

With the so-calied "disappearing" paint and silent engines, thodeath- dealing qualities of the airplane will be increased enormously, in the opinion of aeronautical experts. lThey cite as an example a night at- tack by several hundred armored planes, including bombers, upon a enemy city or position. -

The enemy anti-aircraft defences wouldbe immediately placed at a great disadvantage, for about the only means of detection left would ‘be seiarchlights.

During the World War the pecu- liar sound of, approaching Gel-men planes, which‘ w-lmsny people eoemod to say the words, "I will," acted as a sufficient warning to permit the French defending air forces to get into action. '

(From Our Own Correspondent) ,

OTTAWA, 0llt., Mar. 29. —Thu Uoorgiail Buy Canal occupied the House until midnight last evening, it being the fourteenth time that ll, was lip for discussion. This time} it was agreed to conclude the de-‘ bate as to the second reading, ab! though the opinion is freely ex-l pressed that as a matter of strut-i egy the opposition should have, talked on until prorogation, as if‘ it ls killed in committee or does not come out at all the government can claim that it only wanted lt to go there to he discussed and ill- vosligrtted in detail and was not’ responsible for its fate.

For the first time members of the executive took all active part1 in the discussion. The minister of justice neither supported nor condemned the project, hut he 0|)- polled tho- contentiou that prov-l inccs have the whole say and the‘ Idonllnioll no authority in relation ‘to public works that obstruct ori ‘affect any navigable waterway. -

Concedillg the rigllt of the prov-l lnces to the ownership of river

‘ 'i'lle' Prime lliinistcl- carefully, olded touching upon tile principle’ of the bill, but argued strongly that as u private measure it had llICi right of all private bills to be sent‘ ‘to committee, otherwise it created o. precedent that might be disusb‘ ‘rolls to private legislation in ill-f _tlll'e.

l lion. Mr. Stevens made a slush- ‘iug attack oll the bill, describing it |as a species of deceit, inasmuch as ;lt was not a canal project at all. but a camouflaged power grab lwhich could succeed by the con- istructlon of a little stretch of canal, there and there, adjacent to the lgreat potential water powers. llo also raised the point that it ought to be before the House as a public bill and justified the strong opposi- tion by declaring that, hy this melt- sure. a private concern seeks most valuable concessions from the pull- lic domain without having ally col- or or right to them.

The principle of the bill was al- waysdiscuseed on second reading and not in committee, and there- fore if the House did not believe in it. it should suffer sudden death. In passinB the second it, affirmed the principle.

Mr. Guthrie's amendment declar- ing that it should he regarded as o. public bill wasdefeated by 105 to 87. one Conservative voting nay. The second reading was carried by 108 to 88. Two Liberals voted nay, and significantly Edwards vo_t- ed ‘against his Ottawa colleague. promoter of the bill. -

There is no probability of it over 001111118 out‘ of committee, the Prime Minister having discharged his promise to the Slftous to see it into committee.
