Quebec Superior Court Hands

Down Decision

(Canadian Press) QUEBEC, Jan. 3—'I‘he Superior Court has not the jurisdiction to over-rule a decision of the Minister of Inunigration, according to a judgment handed down in Super- ior Court by Chief Justice Sir

Francois lcmieux fills morning in the case of Pawcl Szczerbaty, who was found guilty of taking part in the May Day riots atRouyn, and ordered deported by an immigra- tion board of inquiry.

Szczcbaty served six months in Quebec jail for his part in the riots lifter which he contested the right of the Minister of Immigration to order his deportation, on the grounds that he had been a resi- dent of Canada for more than flvé years, and ‘hat therefore he did not come under the jurisdiction of the immigration Department.

The Chef Justice, however. found that it, was up to Saczerbaty to prove tl zse allegations before the Immigration Department Board of Inquiry, otherwise the decision of the Board of Inquiry could not be set aside by the Superior Court.

In view of these facts, Sir Pran- co’; dismissed with costs the AP" plication for a writ of Habeas Cor- pus and a writ of ancillary certior- ari.

Past YearReview- ed By Public Men

(Canadian Press)

MONTREAL, Jan. 4-H the year 1932 did not bring Canada out from under the heavy pail of eco- nomic dcpression it at least display- ed a. few encouraging factors not evident; in the paifc year of 1931 and at; the same time brought home to Canadians the necessity for rigid economies and cautious expenditures. Prominent business and public nicn of the Dominion expressed this view in an annual review of trade and business con- ditions published by thc Montreal Gazette.

Canadian traders and producers

would do well to study both world and domestic markets very care- fully, suggests Hon. H. H. Stevens. Domlniofi Minister of Trade and Commerce. Mr. Stevens says in part: “It is high time that the world generally, and governments particu- lariy, should begin to live within their means, cease going into debt. In business we require men of a careful and cautious type who will refrain from plunging int-o extrav- agance: of new plant and new machinery when times are prosper- ous forgetful of the fact that all undue expansion tends to defeat its own purpose. Integrity, however is not enough. Our business mc-n re- quire a competent knowledge not only of their own industry as it ex'sts in Canada but of tfféirm industry in otherycountries and of the state of business throughout the world as a whole.

W. C. COULTER

Despite her difficulties. Canada has maintained a high place in in- dustry and commerce, says W. C. Coulter, President of the Caiadinn Manufacturers‘ Association. Cana- d'an exporters have made a veil! creditable showing under adverse conditions, and much is w be hop- ed for from the tariff agreements rearulting from the Imperial Con- ference at Ottawa. At the same time Mr. Couiter adds a wamlni

The ultimate cost of social legis- lation such as workmenls compen- sation laws and unemployment 1n- surance should be closely studied. he glyl. "Without making any ob- servation on the merits of social legislation," says Mr. Coulter, "it must be recognized that a large share of the payment is made by the taxpayers as well as by indus- try, and this fact should be borne in mind 1n considering further leg- islation d thi; type."

J. A. MAcLaon

"It is a matter for congratula- tion that during 1032 the fall of wholesale price has been consider- ably less rapid than ;t was during the whole of 1030 and 1931,writiea J. A. MacLcod, President of the Cana- dian Bankers Association and Belle oral manager of the Bank of Nova Sootia.

Mr. McLeod continues "neverthe- less it must be admitted that the rise in the price index from June till September of 1m, .was very slight indeed. and since Janulﬂ last, u during the two previous years, the general direction of prices in the wholesale markets in Canada has been downwards. ‘lb many, for this reason, the central problem involved in the develop- ments in the put three yelta has been a monetary problem."

THREE RIVERS. Qllt, Jan. 3- Onc of the most pretentious coun- terfeiting attempts in the history of the province was unearthed at Almavillc, near Shawinigan mils; Que, over the week-and it was shown today when Charles Black- burn and Armand Gagon appeared in court here. They pleaded not guilty and were remanded until Jan. 5. Blackblun was charged with counterfeitlng and Gagvn will’! having been found in possession of counterfeit notes. Royal Canadian Mounted Police assisted by the Chief 0f Police of Shawinigan Falls found what they declared to be a mass 0f incrimin- ating material used in the making of spurious currency in Black- burn's house which they raided. The completely , ipped counter- felting plant was prepared to turn out five, 10 and 20 dollar bills of the Royal Bank of Canada and 10 dollar bills of the United states Federal Reserve Bank. tSuspicion of a large counterfeit- ing exploit had been raised at Shawinigan and surrounding town! and villages some weclu. ago as note after note, almost perfectly “seated, were presented to var- ious stores and even to bunks. (Jo-operation of the R. C. M. P. was asked by shawinlgan Falls police. Clues pointed to Almavllle and eventually a search warrant was procured for a raid on Black- burn's house. A superficial cxumln- atfcn showed a large camera, photographic films, acids and other paraphernalia as would be used by the man in his occupation u I lithographer.

Cranberry Production In Maritimes

(Special to the Guardian)

MONCTON, N. B.’ Jun, 3~~Crail- berry productlim in the Muritlmc Provinces is showing a gain but there is still considerable room for increased production declared F. W. Walsh, Superintendent of Agricul- ture for the Canadian National Railways system on his arrival hcrc today from Montreal. The Maritime cranberry, he said, is as good a pro- duct u is produced anywhere and the Canadian market offers a. good outlet.

Notwithstanding the advances which already have been made in cranberry culture in the Maritimes, cranberries are still coming from the United States, Mr. Walsh con- tinued. Prices are favorable and the Marltimes should be able to sup- ply practically thc whole of the Canadian demand.

Spinach is another article which can be produced in the Marltimcs as the climate is admirably suited to its cultivation, Mr. Walsh re- marked, and he stated it should be especially valuable in places where canneries are located to can the surplus.

rim: mm. ,REVlEllS YEAR lusl lflliSEll

O'1"l‘./\\VA_ Jim. fl Prinle Minister ,n. B. Benin-it, in his New Year's iincssugc issued through the Can- adian Pccs- stated:

"Fifteen yours ago we were en- tering tile lilst stage of an armed conflict that cxactcd azl unpreced- ented toil of life and treasure from the whole world. Purchasing power was destroyed, markets lost and a ivastly accelerated producing mach- ine had to adjust itself to the con- sequent shrinknce of internal and external trade. No nation escaped the Will's bitch" ng influence, and ‘peace was made by a world that was lost in the wilderness it had created.

Great Gap Showed

“It would be folly to claim that we were consistently wise in our efforts at world recovery. Indeed the frank admission of some of the enors that mark the peace and 5Ub31.‘qll(“‘.t settlements provides t0- day the sanest ground for hope of lmprovcznent. We thought the way out xvns not difficult. At one time all pic-war standards of living seemed to have been regained and cven sin-passed. All too soon we had to face a great disillusionment. The cvidcncvs of recovery which we thought were real were based on false premises. A great gap was suddenly apparent between debtor and crzditor lotions. Vast quant‘- tics of gold, the generally accepted standard for determining national and international obligations, shift- ed from one group of nations fc another with disastrous wnsequen cg-s to both. Great Britain was com- pelled to abandon this generally accepted standard with wnsequen cos far-reaching in importance.

"We have since witnessed two groups 0f debtor and creditor nat- ions who seemed as two individ- uals struggling in the water. one of them in apparent health and cap- able of making for the shore, but held in s0 firm n grin by the other as to make their common fate in- evitable. "

"This rear again we face the same unsolved problems, but with an enlightened hope-a vision that comes to those determmed against failure-and a hope that is based on ‘[)l'0fili\l)l‘ experiences. There is reason in believe that the inter- national process of trial and error is passed. we have learned to ap- proach tile task with the realiza- tion that depression is a common cncniy to all of us. And that only by a united approach can success be mudc ccriain.

No Richer Blessing

“No richer blessing could conic at the moment to a liilrrasred irorld than the assurance of permanent universal pence. This is dependent however, on settlement of disarma- ment problems. When immediate disarmament problems are settled, confidence will be restored. credit extended, purchasing power rc- established and international chan- nels of trade will be re-opened.

“Canada. will pay her own itch“ according to the letter of her r011- iracls. that is our attitude to our own obiigatons. As to inter-Cov- ernmental ivar debts, the Domin- ion of Canada lins inclined none. As in reparations, we have already

(Delayed Ton Hour: By Censor)

(Aspoclalcd Press)

'I‘IEN'I‘SIN, China, Jan. 3-Fol- lowing upon a general attack and bombardment of Shanhaikizvan this morning, in which two Japanese‘ gunboats, aircraft and army units! Participated, the Japanese occupied the entire walled city at two p.m.

The attack encountered obstinate, resistance for three hours, although‘ o. detachment of the Ticnksln Jap i anese garrison, which had been stu- tioncd at Shanhaikwan,

took the inlportant south gate, fa-i

cllitating the mfgntry advance w! scorch of the lost t‘\llii>l‘k'l"

the city.

Thus far the Japanese have not attempted to advance west of Bhan- ‘ llaikwan beyond the broken railway bridge midway between Shanha k- wan and Cilinwangtao, about 10 miles to the southwest.

It was stated that General Hock- ukuo, Chinese commander, was ne- gotiating at Chinwangtao for the purpose cf achieving a peaceful settfcment of the conflict. Mean- while Chinese preparations for large scale resistance are being car» ried forward.

Says Japa Have Carefully bald ' mm

‘SHANGHAI, Jan. 3—(O.P,)-D1'. T. V. Soong, Finance Minister of

the Chinese Government, declared:

today that Japan's attack on Shan- halkwaa was “only another step in the carefully laid plans of Japan- ese milltarists". m invade Mongolia and North China. 1

The Finance Minister nude this statement after he had conferred with General Oblong Kai-Shelf. chairman of the Nationalist Gov- ernment military affairs commis- sion. General Chlang refused to divulge what took place at the con- ference. He is returning to Nan- kfng, the Capital, immediately.

A War Office spokesman an- nouncing that order to localize the conflict already had been dispatch- ed, acid that much depended on whether Chinese leaders "cooperate sincerely 1n the efforts to restore peace." But the Japanese author- lties are reinforcing their troops.

Clash Unforncm

"lt is not possible, therefore, to say definitely that the fighting will be localiud or to predict that it is likely to lpread," the spokesman said. "I can say, however, that the clash at Shankhaikwsn was en- tirely unforeseen by our side and was in nowise connected with ihc intentions of the Japanese army ultimately to make Jchol takeably a part of Manchukuo.”

(Jehol is a province lying between Manchurla and China proper. Shankhaikwan would be a logical jumping off place for the Japanese in the event of a campaign to con- quer the province.)

The Japanese version of the or- igin of the conflict is that it ivas preceded by numerous skirmishes in the last fcw weeks on the south- ern border of Manchuria. Sunday svening, the Japanese said, two‘ bombs were found in a Japanese sentry box, and thereupon forces in Shanhalkwan suburb were dis- patched to the city to protect Jap- anese nationals. Battle ensued.

Press dispatches said the fighting in the coastal district south and west of shanhalkwan was scvcrc. with the Japanese destroyers Fuyo and Asa-goo, as well as numerous army aeroplanes, participating. The War Office spokesman, however, said official reports indicated that only the ninth brigade of Chinese troops and five companies of Jap- anese were lnvolved in the action. The Rcngo correspondent at Tlen- tsin reported that; Major General Suzuki from Suichang had estab-
