Attending St. James Church ser- vice lest Sunday morning was a gentleman visiting ti;c Pro- vince for the first time who had arrived on the late train Saturday night. Coming out of the Church. he casually accosted Mr. A. E. Morrison, inquiring how he could get access to the Church records for the purpose of looking up some entries relevant to his family history, His name, he explained, was Morpeth; Charlton Douglas Morpeth, of Wellington, New Zealand. His grandfather had migrated with his faintly from Prince Edward Island over three-quarters of a century ago, and he wolldcred if there

were any faintly connections with whom he could get in touch.

Mr. Morrison asked the visitor if his grandfather's name was not Henry Douglas Morpeth, of St. Avards, who ilad married adaughtcr of the I-Ion. William Johnston, an early Attorney General of Prince Edward Island, and whose estate comprised St. Avards, Ravcnwoorl, mow the Dominion Experimental Station) and adjoining lands.

Greatly surprised Mr. Morpcth replied ill the affirmative.

"Your grandfather and my father were intimate friends," Mr. Morri- son explained. “I have heard him speak very often of your family, and indeed he had planned to leave here with them for New Zealand. Your father was probably baptised right here in St. James’ Church."

Further conversation revealed still other remarkable coincidences. Mr. Morrison, about eeven years ago, had visited Australia and New Zealand and had actually got in touch with an uncle of Mr. Mor- petivs at Auckland.

They compared notes as to the

I-Inszards and other Island families who had migrated to New Zealand on the same ship with the Mor- pcths in i859. Subsequently, Mr. Morpeth visited St. Theresa's church at Mount Stewart, attended a. Masonic Indie session at Maipeque, and traversed other sections of the Islnnfl with whose names he had been familial‘ from childhood. and whose family associations were intimately linked with his own. .

An interesting fact recalled to hi‘! attention by Mr. Morrison was that

building, Charlottetown. Judging began at one o‘c‘.ock and was com- pleted late in the evening. Central fair directors, judges and teachers expressed the opinion that the school work classes were as well filled as in former years but that there was a noticeable decline in the number of exhibits in the root. vegetable, flower and fruit classes.

Economic Parley May Be Held

(ILP. By Guardian's Special Wire.)

GENEVA, Sept. 29—-(A.P.)—An internaticnal economic conference, informed sources said tonight, may emerge from League of Nations economic discussions as a sequal to the proposed devaluation of the French franc under a “monetary equilibrium" accord with the Uni- ted States and Great Britain.

France apparently would favor gradual abolition of quotas and exchange control, but it was thought likely France would ask such a move to be made general. This, officials said they believed. might lead to a restricted or general conference for the removal of trade restrictions.

Seen In

BY GEORGE llAMBLi-YION Canadian Press Staff Writer GENEVA, Scpf. 29-—(CP cable)- Pzime Minister Mackenzie King raid today in the League of Na- ‘ tions Assembly that Canada be- lieves emphasis should be placed on conciliation rather than upon coercion in the evolution of the League and that automatic com- mitments to the application _of

force ale not practical policy.

On behalf of New Zealand, W. J. Jordan expressed a different view- point. Ho said New Zealand want- ed swift action against an aggres- sor and was prepared to take a part ill complete economic sanc- tions.

The spokesman of a third D-iaiin- ion, Stanley B'uee, Australian High Commissioner in London, agreed with Mr. King that care must be taken to see tilat regional pacts do not become mere military sl- lianees and a menace to the world.

REGIONAL AGREEMENTS

In this conncction the Canadian Premier said regional agreements to‘ ensure immediate an! definite military assistance against an ag- gressor showed a close approach t0 reality by linking obligations with definite contingency and direct in- ierest.

"The danger that such agree- nlents might develop in ' practice into old fashioned military alli- ances will doubtless be given care- ful consideiatlon," h: said.

Mr. King discussed Canada's at- titude in regard to the League Covenant and in thetcasc of a de- clared aggressor.

“What I have said and quoted." he declared, "does not mean that in no circumstances would the Can- adian people be prepared to share in aztion against an aggressor; there have been no absolute cem- mitments either for or against par- ticipating in war o: other forms of force.

"It does msan that any d:cision v11 the part of Canada to parti- cipate in war will have to be ink. en by the Parliament of the people of Canada in the light of all exist- ing circumstances; the circum. stances of the day as they exist in Canada as we‘l as in the areas in- volved."

LONDON, Sept. 29—(Wednes- day) Lord Bcaverbrookk Daily Express, h a leading editorial lhis morning on Prime Minister King's speech before the Lea- gue of Nations Assembly, says "Canlds. leads the way out from Geneva."

The editorial declares that after Mr. King's statement that Canada. will decide in Canada whether she will go to war or

not, "nothing but rags and fatter: is left of collective security."

The Express asks what alterna- tives are there for Canada? It says the policy of alliances is not pos- sible for there again the decision for peace or war would be taken from her.

"The only policy left is isolation," the Express concludes, "and toward it the Dominion is moving with the steady, relentless inevitability of an icecap."

The world cannot dscartl the League in “Its Entircty," Mr. Ben- nett said, just“ because iere has been failure to realize the fullest hopes“ for it. The ideal of the League remainedlle said, and "The world must try again."

The British Elnpire must give its full support to the mature. Mr. Ben- nett continued, to prevail against those forces which threaten to annihilate the civilized world. Th." former Canadian Prime Minister did not believe " that God is on the side of the heaviest battalions."

A trip through the Jenolan caves country towns was on the schedule of Mr. Bennett. now making a holi- day tour of the Elnpire. He is a guest of the Australian Govern- ment.

(blnmissiiolier. Britain Seeks

LONDON, Sept. ZtF-(CP) — The British Government today decreed martial law for Pales- tine in a further effort to sub- due Arab-Jewish disorders uhieh have dragged on for six months. ‘

Terrorism in the Holy Land has cost more than 200 lives since the Arabs declared a "gen- eral strike" last April to resist provisions of the British man-- date over Palestine.

Actual proclamation of mill- tary rule was left to Sir Arthur Wauehope, High Commissione for Palestine. It was believed martial law would be applied. at first, only to the most trou- blesome sections. ‘

When in force it will invest Lieut-C-cneral J. R. Dill, comman- der of the recently augmented mili- tary forces there, with virtual dic- tatorial power.

He will be authorized to impose any edict he deems necessary to preserve public order. He will be empowered to establish military courts, to impose censorship, to or- der arrcsts, dctentions and exclus- ions and depoltations from the Holy Land, without appeal.

Growing violence has been at- tributed to the inability of Arab moderate leaders to control their tribesmen. Since the general strike began lact Aplil 1,9, terrorism and open rlashes‘ between Arabs and

ritish troops have resulted in the death of lune soldiers in fighting, of six in Royal Air Force accidents. of 125 Arabs, 58 Jelvs and five Christians. M010 £119.11 1,000 pet-song have been injured.
