(Special to The Guardian)

OTTAWA, Feb. lit-Tho following is the official announcement of Pre- mier Bennett restoring the unem- ployment allowarice to pensioners at the old rates: "Payments already made for relief purposes to pension- ers had exhausted the appropria- tion by Parliament and, in addition, a substantial sum secured through Governor-Generars warrants. The law provides that Governor-Gener- al's warrants can be issued only in cases of urgent necessity. The Min- lster of Pensions and National Health being now satisfied of the great urgency of the case, an addi- tional warrant has been issued by the administrator, and relief pay- ments will be continued to pension- ers at the same rate u heretofore. There was no desire, much less in- tention, to cause hardship to those who had been receiving relief."

Determined To Reduce Indian Pop a la ti o n

JOHANNESBIIRG. South Africa. Feb. ill-The South African Govern- ment is determined to reduce the Indian population of the Union. Al- ready a bounty is offered to those Indians who will return to India, but only a few are willing to do this Now Dr. D. F. Malan, Minister of Interior, plans a measure whereby all indians who cannot produce doc- umentary proof of legal entry to the Union will be deported. This meas- ure, if passed, would reduce the In- dian population by fully 40 per cent. it is believed. Another measure be- fore the Assembiy proposes the abol- ition of all property rights for In- dians living in the Transvaal.

Warm Exchanges Be- tween Premier And Canadian Council of Agriculture Repre- sentative’ Featured Sitting.

. (Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. lit-Warn: ‘ between Rt. Hon. B. B. Bennett, Prime Minister and B. J.

_ , Deachman, representing the Canad- Ilan Council of Agriculture, featured itoasyb sitting of the Cabinet sub .committee on tariffs.

The textile items of the Canadian tariff were before the committee. A fairly largo attendance of interested persons in contrast to the opening day, when but a scant dozen appeared was pres- ent.

In addition to Mr, Bennett, who acted as chairman of the meeting, members of the Cabinet present were, Hon. G. D. Robertson, Hon. Murray MacLaren, I-Iorl. l. B. Ryck- mari, Hon. C. H. Cahan, Hon. It. i1. Manion and Hon. H. A. Stewart. Mr. Deaclunan was the only person who appeared to make representa- tions against increased textile tariffs. In brief his argument was that agri- culture was passing itlrough an ex- tremely difflcult period, that the changes in the textile items made at the emergency session of Parliament were extreme, that there had been a decline in the value of agriculture products of 10.4 per cent since that tarifl! went into effect, that grain prices were down 3d per cent, and that conditions were certainly not such which juszirisoitlis Government in making it more difficult for the farmer to buy cottons, woollens and other textile commodities. In answer to questions from Mr. Bennett and other members of the Cabinet, Mr. Deachman said he would be satis- fied to see the tariff removed from wheat, eggs, butter, cheese, etc. Plac- ing a tariff on farm products, he re- marked, was merely ‘dressing the lamb up for slaughter. “That is the considered view of the Canadian) Council of Agriculture," commented Mr. Bennett. The Western farmer was aching grain at 4i per cent of last year's price, said Mr. Deachman. He was certainly not prosperous. Im- mediately after the passing of the textile items last year, the firm of

' Ccurtaulds Limited, he stated, had

raised the price of yarns. Mr. Ben- nett calied for proof of this stats- ment, and Mr. Deachman retorted that it came from firms which were constrained from being present by fear of persecution. The chairman warned Mr. Dcachman that rumors were of little value. The hearing lasted for about two hours, and be- fore adjournment, R. P. Sparks, chairman of the Executive l‘ "- tee of the Canadian Association of Gannent Manufacturers made a statement.

Will of Late Alfred McWilliams, of West Cape Was Contested In Supreme Court of Canada.

(Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Ont., Feb. 19.-—Judg ment. was reserved in the Supreme Court of Canada today in the case of Mrs. Jane Lidstone versus W. N. Mcwilliams. The case involves the validity of the will of the late Alfred McWilliams, of West Cape, P. E. I. Mrs. Lidstone challenges the will on the ground that the testator was un- der thc domination of Mcwilliams, who is the chief beneficiary.

At the trial, Mr. Justice Palmer, the Probate Judge, found that as the defendant had declined to enter the witness box, he had refused to take an opportunity to clear himself of suspicion. Accordingly the Judge voided the will. On appeal to the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island, this decision was reversed and the will restored.

‘ During argument in the Supreme Court of Canada, Counsel went min- utely into the voluminous evidence. Counsel for Mrs. Lidstone maintain- ed that the testator had received un- pleasant treatment from the defend- ant, and it was highly unlikely that the bulk of the $60,000 estate should be left to the latter.

For the defendant it was urged that Alfred Mcwllllams had lived a. number cf years with the defendant and it was quite reasonable that he should leave his property to the defendant. defence maintained also that the testawr had made a former will in practically the same terms and that the earlier will was executed at atime when he was not living with the de-
