“I was neved so hopeful as now about trade between Britain and Canada," added Sir Alexander Gibb. "I used to think the trouble about trying to sell British goods was that our costs of production were too high. I am now convinced that we can and do pro-nice many lines not only better but cheaper than our foreign competitors ill you: maiket."

Tariff oh Wheat

In the event of a. tariff on wheat in England, with a. preference to Empire grain, Sir Alexander hopes that Britain will be able to secure a privileged position for British pro- ducts, such as Welsh anthracite coal, in the Dominion market. The engineer tok a passing shot at Rus- sia. and Russian coal. “I think that the Canadian embargo against Sov- l iet products was perfectly justified. They are produced ‘ under unfair conditions.’

Sir Alexander, naturally, has not been able to disclose anything of importance about the results of his mission, or to reveal in advance the tenor of his recommendation about the Canadian port situation. He did remark, however, that Montreal's handling of grain was "absolutely efficient." Another strong point that he made, was that Canadian ports enjoy an excellent reputation abroad. "Before coming here I tried to find criticism. 1 asked for complaints, but I could find none."

One thing which had impressed him was the keenness of port auth- orities here, and their readiness to supply information. "They have kept nothing back," he said, and if bear- ing in mind the difficulties of other investigators.

Insurance Rates

On the crucial point of insurance rates, Hugh Beaver, associated with Sir Alexander Gibb, thinks that there are invincible reasons why rates on the St. Lawrence, with its thousand miles of inland navigation, should always be at a disadvantage, compared with those of ‘Atlantic ports like New York. Even here, however, Slr Alexander appeared optimistic, though he could not ant- icipate his report. “At first," he ex- plained," insurance rates are put at a. safety high figure. Then as exper- ience shows that the rates are too high, they tend to be reduced."

The engineer and his party left yesterday for the Maritimes, and are expected back in Montreal in about a fortnight, prior to sailing from Quebec on the Empress of Bri-

Legion considered numerous prob- , lems affecting war veterans. includ- ingpensions administration and hospital treatment.

A resolution regarding the in- vestigation into appeals from tri- bunal decisions read as follows: “Be it resolved that the Domin- ion Executive Council be advised that there is widespread dissatis- faction with thc operation of this particular part of the Act, and that in the opinion of this con- vention the pensions machinery is not being operated in the spirit of the Act.

"And further, that the Dominion Council take the opinion of legal counsel and ascertain if the inter- pretation of the clause respecting “benefit of the doubt" as applied by the Appeal Court is in accord- ance with the intention of Parlia- ment as evidenced by the discus- sion when the legislation was in- troduced, and, if not, that steps be taken to have this provision clarified to conform with the in- teniion of Parliament.

FREE HOSPITALS

The question of free hospitaliza- tion of' non-pensioners, at present not available under the regulations, was made the subject of a resolu- tion, whlch was passed.

Another resolution urged that following the death of a pensioner receiving over 80 percent pension, the ten year limitation on pension to widows be removed, in cases where the family is without other resources.

Amendment of the regulations concerning treatment of Class Two pensioners, those entitled to treat- ment only, without pay and allow- ances, is asked in another resolu- tion. This requests free transpor- tation to the nearest hospital cen- tre be provided in such cases, and that when emergency operations or treatment are necessary to save the life of such 8- Densloner, the expense be borne by the Depart- ment if the pensioner would have been entitled to free hospitaliza- tion. -

ASKS RELIEF

Another resolution asked that departmental relief, such as is now granted to pensioners, be extended so as to include those whose cases are favorably considered by the Pension Tribunal, pending appeal which might be made by commis- .siOn counsel. Still another proposal which carried recommends that pensioners confined to hospital for one month or longer, shall on dis- charge, be entitled to one month's pay and allowances to enable them to complete convalescence.

General resolutions which were passed by the convention had ref- erence to prosecution of those wrongly claiming the right to wear the V. C. and other decora- ‘tions, the burial of war veterans iwho die in indigent circumstances ‘and the placing of headstones on the graves of soldiers whose rela- tives are unable to provide them.

The recent ruling of the Pensions Appeal Court on the question of appeals against pension assess- ment. by which it was declared the Tribunals had no power to adju- dicate on questions of assessment, came in for discussion. A resolu- tion was endorsed asking the Do- minion Executive Council examine the, nature of the provisions cover-

and from the information so ob- tained, "make such recommends tions as may seem necess y to se- cure provision for the hearing of assessment appeals."

The convention also suggested provision be made for pension ad- voca es to assist former members
