Europe. Ever since Hitler's rise in Germany, the Gennan population of Austria have striven for an- nexation to the Fatherland Their political party is called the Nation- al Economic Party headed by Herr Johann Schober. Pro-Germanism is opposed by the Christian Social- ist Party, of which Chancellor Doll- fuss was the head and which is Pro-Fascist. In October "last the Nazis attempted to seize the Gov- ernment, but were frustrated, al- though Dollfuss himself was shot by a youth, and narrowly escaped death. Since then Dollfuss has ruled with a rod of iron, supported by Major Emil Fey, Vice-Chancel- lor. Recently understandings were reached through personal conver- sations between Mussolini and Dollfuss and Doumergue and Doll- fuss, which it was understood meant the support of both Italy and France in the event of an at- tempt by Germany to annex or control Austria. More recently, Britain was made cognizant of the arrangement through Doumergues interview in London with Sir John Simon, Foreign Minister. This was evidently the last straw for the Austrian Nazis, who decided "to shoot their bolt" before any inter- national agreement could be made securely effective. Now both Italy and France have armed forces at the border. Dollfuss, the brave little Chancellor (he was just 4 ft. 2 ins. in height) has lost his life in de- fending and upholding the inde- pendence of his country. The ef- fects of this civil war may be far- reaching.

PAYING LIBERAL DEBTS

Liberal politicians have recently affirmed—and the Patriot, parrot- likc, repeats the mistatement-that the present Government had borrow- ed since their first session in 1932 “the enormous sum of $2,450,000," The fact, as previously shown in these columns, is that $1,200,000 of the alleged Conservative “borrow- lngs" was in the shape of bond is- sues to take care of Liberal indebt- edness—$1,04l,000 of which was the Lea Government's bank overdraft on Aug. 12, 1931, which the Conserva- tive Government paid ofl’ in full. Another $150,000 represented debts left unpaid by the Lea Government. which the Conservative Government also paid in full, within a month af- ter assuming office,

This was the wonderful legacy left by the Saunders-Lea administration, who were so solicitous about their own political skins that th‘ey dared not divulge the amount of their overdraft, and shirked their duty which was plainly to have funded a large part of it in the early months of 1931, when the bond market was favourable. This fact was indirectly admitted by' Mr. Lea himself, when he stated, on the floor of the Legis- lature in 1933, that his government intended "if re-elected" to have called for debenture bids “immedi- ately."

Dcducting the $1,206,000 of Lib- eral unauthorizcd "borrowings" from the amount of Conservative bond ls- sucs, leaves a total of $1,250,000. Of this amount, $576,000 is represented by the total Conservative increase in dcbt at the end of 1933, as shown in the Public Accounts. $300,000 of this increase is accounted for by the ne- cessary rebuilding oi’ Falconwood Hospital and Prince of Wales Col- lege; the balance by money expend- ed in unemployment and direct re- lief. old agc pensions and capital ex- penditure for the years 1932 and. 1933.

In the story oi’ "IIPBLIHKCS on the Pacific coast it appears that Van- couver longshoremen supported those across the border by agreeing not to unload ships loaded in Un- ited States ports by "unfair labor." This is one more instance of in- temationalism being introduced in_ to Canadian affairs. The musician's strike in connection with Canadian radio has only just been settled, and now, apparently with no Can- adian labor dispute involved in the question, unloadings in Canada are to be tied up at thebehest of labor organizations in the United States.

Hon. Prank Heartz is retaining the central and most eligible lot in- to which his property was divided for sale purposes, and will, in due course rebuild upon it. A prospec- tive Liberal Senator is reported to be the third purchaser-an ideal situation for a senatorial residence.

As it is Announced Premier Ram- say MadDonald will soil from Syd- ney for Newfoundland on August 8 there is no chance of his accep- tance of an invitation to be here for the Jacques Cartier reception.

Bo that the Jap- anese special representative's visit to Washington was not in vain.

' Having explained how the Conser- l

vative increased indebtedness was incurred up to the end of 1933, we might ask what explanation the Op- position critics have to offcr for the debt increase, in the last eight months of Lea Government regime, of $544,000—and the further increase of $411,000 during the Liberal years 1929 and 1930. "The public," to 9H0" our local contemporary, "has yet to learn" for what legitimate purpose those enormous increases were in- curred!

The figures above given more than account for Conservative bond issues up to the beginning of the present year. In addition, however, there is the fact that the Conservatives have increased the sinking funds to thc amount of $190,000. Although this docs not increase thc provincial debt, nevertheless the provisions for sink- ing funds must be borrowed from the bank, and they are necessarily reflected in bank overdraft.

The City 0i’ Kingston was en fete one |f'ne summer's day-June 19, 1890. the occasion being the laying by Sir John A Macdonald of the cor- nerstone of the new graying dock. The dock was to be 280 feet long, 40 feet Wide and 26 feet deep from coping to floor. Things being quiet in Ottawa at the time, I went along virith the Old Chieftain, upon his in- vitation.

A special platform had been erected facing the big excavation which was to constitute the dock Sir John and Lady Macdonald, Sir Hector Langlevin. mintter of public worlds, and other distinguished guests were in their places when I saw an old lady, evidently clad in hen Sunday dress. expostulating with s. policeman at the barrier leading to the platform. Then. breakng through, she hustled up the steps.

Si;- John saw her approaching, and springing forward he greeted her with a resounding kiss. The huge crowd saw the incident, and there was great laughing and cheering. I glanced over at Lady llvilacdonald and saw that she was just as amused as iihe spectators. Sc all was well.

Naturally I was curious to learn something about the favored dame, and learned that she was o, Mrs. Crunason. who loept hotel in King- ston 8nd was a lifelong friend of Sir John's. Staunoh and true w the
