selling had np disturbing effect on mining share prices today and the list closed higher all around with volume expanding as the session

advanced. Turnover was small in,

the early part of the day but a. scramble for a few of the golds and base metals in the afternoon swelled volume to the heaviest since Dec. 12 with one exception. The exchange gold share index advanced 1.18 to 120.56 and the miscellaneous mines index was up 1.85 to 123.96.

Two recently active golds of the medium-price group. Central Pat- ricia and Pickle Crow, registered new high points for the year but held only part of their gains

l-Iolilnger, Pioneer and Wright Hargreaves closed higher and Dome and Lake Shore closed on the down side. .

Although London prices for cop- Dcr, lead, and zinc were off, the base, metal stocks advanced on good volume. Falconbridge was a leader and 20 cents higher at 7.20, Noranda and Hudson Bay record- ed gains of 3-8 each.

On League Work

The League oi’ Nations was tho Subicct of an address at Rotary Club yesterday by Hon. C. A. Dun- hing. Minister of Finance, who dealt with the League's genesis, its development and present situation. Emphasis was placed on the tre- mendous difficulties facing the League in reconciling the differ- cnces between nations of Europe, who are handicapped by centuries of hatred of each other, although at the meetings of the League the delegates arc meticulously polite, and the conventional amenities are very carefully maintained.

The League of Nations, he said, has been certainly worthwhile. the only instrument by which nations can get together and talk over their differences. People may be impatient at the progress they are making, but the tremendous ob- stacles in the way, such as nation- al tradition, must be taken into account.

Mr. Dunning spoke of what had

been done with regard to the ap-

plication of sanctions, and said that at. this moment the League is at the crossroads of destiny. The nation which has been declared the aggressor still continues the aggressor and has intimated that it interprets sanctions as military sanctions and will resist if neces- sary with force of arms. Fortun- ately the British Empire is once again the bulwark of the world's sanity 1n the world crisis, She has proved her greatness by admitting that she had taken a wrong stop and is prepared to follow the right

road.
