Alarmed by fear of a possible sec- ond German invasion through a re-armsd Rhineiand, parliamentary defence committees indicated to- night they would unequivocally en- dorse government plans to strengthen all frontier defences.

Confidential reports on the re- armament of Germany and the state of Belgium's defences, laid before the Senate and chamber committees, created a vivid sense of the k’ ‘ ‘s ‘

Political dismissals that will oo- easion general rcgrct throughout the Province have occurred in the case of Mr. Edward MacLaren. Georgetown, retired farmer, and Mr, W. K.

They will be replaced by Mr. Gavin Harding, Charlottetown, and Mr, Harry A. Darby, a former Lib- eral membcr of the Legislature.

Mr. Justice A. E. ‘ nault, chairman of the Board, has sent in his resignation.

The Board as at present con- stituted will hold its last session in Summerslde on Friday, Feb. '1.

Established last March, the Board during its incumbency has dealt with over 200 cases sent up for review. At the outset. it en- countered a certain amount of op- position, but succeeded in winning the complete confidence both of creditors and farmers’ debtors. This was strikingly evidenced recently, when, following rumors to the ef- fect that the personnel might be changed, requests came from prom- inent Liberal farmers to the Board. begging that their cases be tried before such changes took effect.

1t was recognized also that the members had not sought their ap- pointments to the Board, but had been selected solely on a basis of merit. and it was hoped that this would be an important factor in retaining their services.

This, it is understood, was the attitude taken by the Hon Charles Dunning, Minister of Finance and representative for Queen's County; who however was overruled in the nastier through pressure brought to bear by local politicians.

Interviewed last night, Mr. Justice Arsenault said he had no statement to make, beyond the fact that his resignation as chairman of the Board had not yet been accepted.

Misunderstanding. Al- leged By Premier Campbell With Re- gard To Relief Pay- ments.

Notification given Charlottetown City Council Tuesday night that the Provincial Government proposed to pay $3,000 of the city's direct relief bill in the months of January, Feb- ruary and March was not an order in council, but a recommendation of Prince Eciward Island's treasury board, Premier Thane A. Campbell stated last night.

Commenting on the Charlotte- town Councils decision to discon- tlnue entirely direct relief pay- ments “unless satisfactory arrange- ments can be made between the civio government and provincial government," the Premier said the Government treasury board's re- commendation must have been mis- understood by city authorities.

A contribution of $3,000 each month by the provincial govern- ment "really means an increase in our direct relief grant to Charlotte- town," Mr. Campbell maintained.

It was understosd last night a special City Council delegation, compos ’ of members of the Fin- ance Committee and the City Clerk would wait upon the Provincial government this morning to discuss the question.

Gold Strike in British Guiana

GEORGEIDWN, British Guiana, Eeb. 5—Discovery hf a lame Bold reef, bearing quartz veins from a fraction of an inch to two feet thick, was announced today by the Colonial Office upon receipt of a report from a geological survey party in the British Guiana hin- tcriand.

Importance was attached to the discovery because most of the gold hitherto found in this country lay in alluvial deposits which were "washed" by prospectors or dredged by companies.

The Colonial Office did not an- nounce the locality of the new de- posits but a new waterfall. 20 feet higher than the famous Kaietcur fills, was reported by the survey party as in the vicinity.

The newly discovered falls were

50 feet wide and broken by a ledge 1-3 of the way down.

At 3 p.m., with the vie-regal salute booming across the Ottawa from Nepean Point to Parliament Hill, Baron 1 eedsmuu will ar- rivq at the centre-blocksnd scat himself in the place of honor in the Senate. The Commons will summoned in the traditional fash- ion, the gentleman usher of the black rod demanding entrance with three resounding knocks, and an- nouncing that the govemor-gen- oral desired their immediate pres- ence in the red chamber. The Sen- BM. sombre because of the mourning habiliments, will create an impres- sive spectacle as the Commoners come crowding in behind the brass bar, there to hear, from the lips of Baron Tweedsmuir, the Speech from the ‘Throne.

Dile to the political revolution of Oct. 14. and lo other causes, this session will meet in an atmosphere new and striking, with new figures dominating in many important spheres. Hon. Walter E. Foster, a former premier of New Brunswick, replaces Hon. P. E. Blondin as Speaker of the Senate. Hon. Pierre F. Casgraln replaces Hon. Charles Bowman as Speaker of the Com- mons. Ross W_ Gray of Lnmbton. Ontario, is the new chief whip of the Liberal party. A sea. of new faces, and some former leaders ab- sent awhile now returned, alter the appearance of the two chambers. One hundred and thirty-five mem- bers of the Commons are new-only 110 of those who waved goodby in July of last year come back to re- sume their activity in the new ses- sion. Even in the Senate, not sub- Ject to election mortalities, there are l9 newcomers to be introduced. Two of the new arrivals on Parlia- ment l-lill are ladies, Mrs. George Black in the Commons; Hon, Iva lihllis in the red chamber.
