Vagueness 0f German Reply, However, Is Qause For Specula- tron.

(By The Canadian Press) (By Gulnllan’! Spool-ll Wire)

Germany's eagerly-awaited reply to the joint Anglo-French invita- tion to join In new accords for the peace of Europe was made public last night and proved to be a cor- dial expression of the Reich's read- Inus to examine the proposals thoroughly.

It welcomed the proposal for s. mutml defensive air pact among signatories of the Imarno Treaty. stressed the Importance of “agree- ments freely negotiated between sovereign allies," and generally urged direct exchange of views rather than’: general conference.

The reply was welcomed in Lon- don sud Paris, the British Govern- ment being described us looking on it favorable "at least as far as It goes." French officials, who earli- er expressed mistrust, ssld they considered the reply hopeful and were confident “something can be done." .

FREDERIUIUN. N. 1a.. Feb- 16- In order to develop “Dim market‘ for the Maritime Provinces. not only producers of natural FY0000“ but manufacturers as well must co-operate to assemble less-than- cargo lots at thrir home 00115 5° that boats might be chartered to carry complete cargoes to distant ports. u. c. cunninsham. ssent in New Brunswick for the Eastern Canada Potato Marketing Board. told the Fredericton Board of trade tonight.

In this way, he pointed out, charter rates might be obtained. thus eliminating the charges occa- mned by long freight hauls to United States ports for the less- than-cargo lots shipped separately. The suggestion was made that such shipping from these provinces might be centralized throuzh s. few Pom and through s. few men. The whole matter was a problem which boards of trade might suitably tackle, Mr. Cunningham said.

Premier L. P. D. ‘Iiliey, and A. A. Dysart, Opposition leader, spoke briefly.
