Professor McPhee, of ‘

I

TORONTO, May 4—-The ‘ meeting of tho Rotary (ILub here today, had zi distinct Maritime flavor. To address the members of the Club in the ob- servation 0i what was characterized as “Monitimo Day", the executive secured Professor E. D. McPhec of i115 University of Toronto, and also President of tho Toronto Maritime Association. Professor McPhce was u... duced to the meeting by Rw, E. Burnaby, Maritime ‘Trude Com- missioner end first Vice-President, of the club.

The speaker informed his hearers

that tho nnmo of Toronto was suf. flcient to orouso hisses in n Meri- i-ime ludicnoe s. you sgo. but he was glsd to soy the attitude 0f distrust and. distaste bed been changed. He attributed this to the splendid man- ner in which Toronto welcomed the visiting delegation from tho Meri- tlruel. about s year ego; the work of the Mlritlmes Association in Tor- Onifl. Ind tho results following the cplwintmont of l Maritime Trade Commissioner in this city. . Tho appointment of a ma. Com- mi-Blvnfir between Provinces was a b1: experiment that has been entire- ly Justified. in the opinion of Pro- iwwr Morison. It was tho only inter- provmolll Mlle commissioner in Csnndn and was supported entirely by tho Mlritimo Provinces.

During tho past six years Prince Edward Island, the smallest Prov- ince in tho Meritimes, has contri- buibd more than the present popula- Con of tho Island. They have given up their best, but they have their natural habitat and s. natural beauty unsurpassed on this continent. They hm kept more than that. Despite tic/c immigration they have kept a vigorous people- Tho greatest nat- ursl resources of Canada are and sl- Wm will be her citizens," he declin- ed.

The Maritimes went the harbors of Halifax, N. 8., and Saint John, N. B, developed as a national need, he said, dnd predicted the “question will be placed on the carpet within wn years."

General Booth Expresses His Appreciation

(Special to the Guardian)

LONDON, May 4.—-'I‘wo casting. uished lnvalids exchanged good W151].- es today. One was King George and the other General Brsmwell Booth, former lender of the Salvation Army, upon whom on Monday was confer- red membership in the order oi the Companion of Honor. General Booth wrote the King how deeply ha sp- precintod the honor, which, he said, "will afford great pleasure to our people and friends throughout the Empire and many other parts of tho world." 4 -

He ssid his only regret was that he vies still kept back by his serious illness from “taking an active part in that, work which has been n joy for more than fifty years. and to which, if it is God's will, I shall de- vote my remaining years," adding: f‘I have noted with extreme pleasure the good news of your Majesty's re- covery, and pray that God will grant you complete restoration to health and strength."

This was the reply which came to him from Lord Stsmfordham, the King's private secretary: “The King desires me to thank you for your let- ter, and to assure you with what pleasure His Majesty conferred upon you the order of the Companion of Honor. His Majesty regrets that you are still seriously unwell and earnest- ly trusts that you may regain your health, and enjoy rest and peace after long years of active work."

The King has been gaining stren- gth so rapidly thst it is now decided that he will leave the south coast on May l6 for Windsor Castle. The ex- pectation is that the King and Queen will go direct to Windsor by automo- bile. Therc was s. possibility that the King would go first. to Buckingham Palace and give London a chance to ivelcome him, but this plan has now been abandoned.

ESTIMATES lHE NAHLPASHEEI]

Postmaster Genera] and Deputy Will Sail For France on May 7 th.

(From Our Own Cui-espondont)

OTTAWA, May 5—After several weeks bombardment. the post oflice estimates went through on Friday night inside of an hour. The Oppo- sition had come to the conclusion that the Hon. Mr. Veniot bad learn- .ed his lesson. and in round numbers $35,000,000 was passed. As stated in a. former despatch tho Opposition was no; sgainst tho estimates but political moi-administration of tlic department. So far as can be deter- mined thc Opposition reached its objective, and now Mr. Venlot, and his_ deputy will be able to sail for Prince on the seventh.

During the passage of private bills. which at this stage means divorce bills, the ‘Hon. Mr. Ernest Lapointe, lvlinister of Justice, uttered a. strong protest against the measure to en- able women to establish separate domlciles for divorce. He pointed out that divorces obtained in any part of the world outside of Canada. would not be valid, and the resulm in tho long run would leave the last stage worse than the first. Others took the view thsl; the bill should only be flaplicoblo as within Canada»,

Mr. LsPolnto who is usually fair-g ly sound in his decisions made an-l other pronouncement in connection, with the subject oi divorce in a. mot-i ter which is really at the bottom of the hold-up by Mr. Woodsworth and others. He stated that the matter of slimoriy and custody of children: in connection with divorces granted; by the Dominion Parliament; comcsi within the purview of the provinces under section o1 of the British North‘ America Act,

Mr, Lapointe said that under the, provisions of the British North Amri- icu Act, section 91, the matter oz marriage and divorce came uncle: federal jurisdiction. If these had m: become port of section 91 they would have remained within the compo:- encs of the provinces under the prn- visions oi property and civil rights. He thought that, being an exception, the matter should be construed gen- erally. Only in one case, in 1879, had s different view been held. This was the Campbell case when Parliament made a. decision with respect to the custody of children and alimony, Op- posed to the decision were Sir John A. MacDonald and Hon. David Mills. later minister of justice. Subsequent- ly when the husband was sued in tho courts by his counsel for costs, the clsim was diisllowed by Mr. Jus- tice Wilson on the grounds that. the proceedings had been not only un- constitutional but disregarded the; authority of the courts. ‘

It had been decided by authorities‘ on constitutional law that Parliaw men; had plJWElfi-o legislate with re- spect to marriage, but did not have Duwor to legislate on the consequences ‘allowing msrriage, and that Parlia- merit, although possessing power to‘ legislate with respoci, to divorce and dissolution oi marriage was without power to deal with property and civil rights. Even if Parliament had this power, llld Mr. Lnpcints, there was no doubt that the provinces aliaO had ll. and it, was better- to leave the jurisdiction to them.
