OTTAWA, May 1'6.-A definite of- fer by the government of Canada to perlnit United States officers on the Canadian side of the border in order that they may transmit to the United States information with respect to liquor shipments from Canada, was made on March 15 last.

It was not accepted". Instead the United States government while ex- pressing appreciation of the-offer. reiterated its view that the only ef- fective method of dealing with the _probiorn of liquor smuggling was denial of clearances by the dominion government. These facts are revealed in documents tabled in both the House of Commons and Senate today, covering correspondence and reports with respect to the conference held between Canadian and United States officials on the B, 9 and iii of Janu- ary last. The fyle tabled is bulky and comprises, among other papers. of-

REIHIRUSS

(Special to The Guardian)

OTTAWA, Ont, May lit-Tribute to the achievements of the Red Cross Society was paid by Premier King in an address given at luncheon in con- nection with the meeting here of the central council of the Canadian Red Cross Society. Her Excellency Vis- oountess Willingdon, who is the pres-

cupied the chair, and others who spoke were Dr. J. A. Amyot, Deputy Minister of Pensions and National Health, and T. B. Kittredge, General Secretary of the League o! Rged Cross Societies, stationed at Paris, France.

Her Excellency in her opening re- marks said that she had always had the very greatest admiration for the Red Cross and was proud to take the presidency of the society in Canada. its work during the war had been invaluable. she said, and it was also proving its worth as a peace time organization.

“We meet on this occasion to pay tribute to the achievements of the Red Cross", the premier said, ‘fnot only in these lands which have wit- nessed its ministratiorls in time of war, but with a full recognition of the important contribution it has made and will continua to make to the upbuilding of our national life in time oi peace through the prevention of disease.” ‘

TAIN HAS vllll AIR s E c__l El

LONDON, May ld-Britain will be practically impregnable from the air soon. The day is rapidly approach- ing when enemy machincs bound for her coasts will be reﬂected on tiny illuminated screens in a score ofout- posts, and the "homets ‘of the RA l". will be in their midst long before they are within striking distance.

Quietly, and without ostentation, dramatic progras has been made within the past few months towards solving this most critical problem of national defence.

Stimulated by the warnings of the Earl of Halsbury, Lord Sydenhun. and others, and frightened by the appalling weakness of air defence re- vealed by the sensational exercises over Landon and the home counties in August last, the research branch- es of tho ﬁghting services have been working feverishly on schemes for the protection of the country's vitals from the dangers of air attack.

The experts are conﬁdent that in the new twin sciencu. television and noctovisiom, l. solution has been found. At. the moment the position is that, though much of the plan has only now emerged from the experim- ental stage, a new pase of high ef- ficiency in national defence has definitely begun.

Noctovision is vision in darkness by means of the invisible infra-red ray which is transformed by means of a modiﬁed television apparatus into a visible ray. The infra-red ray picks up the object; the televisor trans- forms it into an image which can be seen u clearly u a cinematograph picture.

Observation points can be estab- lished equipped with uarchlights sweeping the night sky with beams of infra-red nyl. The noctovisor will pick up the objects revealed by its electric eye and transmit them back to the at ‘ ‘ mu- .1,

Infra-red rays have sixteen time; the fog penetrating power of the or- dinlry rlyn of the Jpectrum, and their value for discovering the ap- proach of hostile aircraft under cov- er of darkness or fog is obviously in- estimable.

DAIRY TRADE Will SliF F ER

(Special to The Guardian)

OTTAWA, Ont.,. May 16.—The dairy interests of eastern Ontario and eastern Quebec stand to be hit by the United States tariff. but just how hard it will be, is something which the dairymen's assmfation is yet unable w figure out. Whether the demand across the border for cream is such that they will pay the duty and keep up the importation remains to be seen, but it is considered in- evitable the trade will suffer more or less extensively. Butter is not affect- ed and it is conceivable that the in- dustry of exporting cream may turn to the operation of making and exporting butter.

Dairy interests i-lereabouts are con- cerned, not so much over the curtail- ment .of the industry generally, but over the profitable interference with the cream business which has been profitable without the work entailed by the manufacture of butter and cheese. They are waiting keenly the final outcome of the tariff fight in the Senate.

Had Poor Season

HALIFAX, May 16-'I‘l'le spring lob- ster fishing season west of Cole Har- bor, Halifax county to Herring Point, Lunenburg county. which opened on March 1st, ended on Wednesday, and ls declared by the fishennen to have been the worst experienced in many years. Backward weather and severe storms caused extensive loss and damage to the lobster fishing gear and handicapped the ﬁshermen. Prices were curtailed at American markets by large shipments of live lobsters from New Brunswick. The total catch during the season is re- ported to be much below that of last year.

As a result, a. wave of ill- feeimg and indignation has spread over New England and throughout this section sharp protests are being sent to Washington.

PREPARING HlR BUNFERENBE

LONDON, May lit-It was learn- ed today that the first practical step towards preparing for the next Im- perial Conference was taken in sum- moning representatives of the Dom- inlorls to meet in London next Oc- tober to consider legal questions con- cerning the operation of the domin- ion‘: legislation. in view of the alt- ered relations between the compon- ent parts of the British Empire.

The questions to be considered in- clude the deﬁning of the status of the governors-general as representa- tives of the king, extra. territoriality of dominion legislation, and merch- ant shipping. It is possible Premier Mackenzie King of Canada. will be the only dominion prime minister to attend the October gathering. which will be an inter-departmental committee as proposed by the last imperial conference. The decision to summon the meeting in October was announced in the speech from the throne read at the prorogation of pnaulﬂlﬁﬂﬁ Ml)’ 10th.

In connection with the discussion in the press regurdingthe question o! the title to that. portion of the mum; gqultg upon which a. public library is now in course of e. ‘ The Guardian is informed by a city official that adequate authority i5 given to the City for the erection of this building under the provisions of an amendment passed in 192B tp the City o! Charlottetown Incorporation Act.

This amendment varies the trust without repealing the former statute which vested the property on the proviso that no part o1 it should be enclosed to the exclusuion of the pub- lic or appropriated for the purpose of any permanent erection house. It was stated to The Guardian that it, would be impossible to repeal the former statute as it. already estab- lishes a. use: for the whole market square. but that by varyiﬂﬂ the trust the‘ requisite authority wu obtained for constructing the proposed library and art gallery.

Section 3 and 4 of the amended statute reads as follows:

Now that the

he had a substantial surplus, the con- tinuation and increase of this talc was unjust, inadequate and unfair. 1t was a tax essentially irnPNQd on the products of provincial resources. The dominion obtained income tax from provincial companies. and this tax should be wholly available to the provinces.

Th9 attack of the opposition was very vigorous and dealt principally with the effects of the tax in opera- tion. It was strongly held that it meant, a hinderance to mining devel- opment, was s. tax upon the srdziii invator, and was properly classed with what the minister of finance ‘.151 himself termed a nuisance tax.
