“In rising to address this House," said Mr. Wood in_ his Opening re- marks, "I feel it would not be fit- ting for me to take up too much oi its valuable time. and this I do not intend to do. Being a farmer and representing the good farmers o! the Third District of Queens. I would like for a short time in dwell on matters pertaining to the Agri- cultural Department. In this De- partment we have a. Minister bish- for the position he, holds. and one who is ever ready to assist all classes oi . r‘ . including our farmers‘ organizations, our Wom- en's a itutes. and also the young- er boys and girls at our fall School Pairs. At every meeting of farmers

lire is present with counsel and en-

couragement. and takes every op- portunity at emphasizing especially the importance of raising good Is- land bred horses. Y

"We are all aware of the fact that thousands of dollars of our money has gone to Western Canada for horses which did not prove satis- factory here. and it is pleasing in- deed to note that our farmers are now raising more horses again, for which there is a. keen demand.

NEWFOUNDLAND, MARKET

"We must also encourage the raising of cattle to a greater ex- tent, ss there is nothing more prosperous-looking than to see a farmer with s. good herd of dairy and beef cattle. We have a won- derfui trade with the St. John's, Newfoundland, market. where we ship in the vicinity of about 2.000 heed or more of our beef cattle each year along with quite a num- her oi our dairy cattle. our horses, sheep, pigs, and a large amount of produce.

“Mr. Speaker, if we are to main- tain and develop this market, it is important that our farmers raise a better quality of beef cattle. Ow- ing to the higher rate of freight and duty to this market, we must have better stock. Inferior stock only tends lo lower the price; be- sides. they will go to some other place for their requirements. This is most important, as thh outlet proved a profitable one for the sur- plus stock of this Province.

“Two yearsago I took a trip to St. John's, Newfoundland, and at- tended sales them, at which the shippers lost money. On the follow- ing dly I took the matter up with the Newfoundland Government, to see if the freight rates could not be reduced. and I succeeded in hav- ing the freight rates lowered from $75.00 to $70.00 per ear-load of cattle which moans a saving to our tann- srs of 08.00 per head."

700 or The s,000 InIRe- lief Camp Answer .Call to Walkout.

(Canadian Press)

(By Guardian's Special Wire) Plans for a general walk-out of Canada's relief-camp "army" ap- parently faded out with only spor- adic response as the April 4 dead- line was reached and passed.

In British Columbia, while a Roy- al Commission investigating condi- tions in the camps held its first public sitting, it was estimated poss- ibly 700 oi the 8.000 men engaged on Department oi National Defence relief projects left their jobs.

‘The "strike-call" originated in the Pacific Province where of- ficials of the relief camp workers union some days ago denied Hon. Grcte Stiriingb statement in the House of Commons that plans had been isld to wreck the camps April 4, but said the men would walk out that day.

PLANNED A8 PROTEST

The strike was planned as a pro- test against what itsleaders termed unsatisfactory conditions.

Across the prairies and in the east however there was evidently no re- action st all to the call. Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. reported “all quiet." Five hundred men in the Citadel Hill Camp at- Halifax and lhstern Passage went to work as usuaL.

Meanwhile in Toronto, unemploy- ed variously estimated at 1.000 to 2,000 having no connection with the relief camps, marched to the legis- lative buildings and a deputation conferred with members of the government. St. Catherines repor- ted 40 Grantham township unem- ployed in possession oi the relief oilice in a "passive resistance" cam- paign, asking 30 cents an hour in- stead of the 27 offered.

OTTAWA, Apr. kcanadlan pen- itentiarles stand as a model for the world, Minister of Justice Hugh Guthrie told the House of Corn- mons today when pressed by MacPhaii (Prcg. Southeast Grey) for a royal commission to invest- igate them. ~

Far-reaching reforms have been instituted in the last three years by General D. M. Ormond, peniten- tiary superintendent, and other; would follow. including the Bors- tal system of segregation for youth- ful offenders.

(The incident arose when A. G. Hall, an err-convict from Toronto and Vancouver signed an aiildavlt to the effect Inspector J. D. Dawson of the penitentiary stair at Ottawa used abusive, profane language re- garding Miss MacPhaii. The aili- davit quoted Dawson as saying: "Aggie made a — damned fool of herself in the House of Commo but when we are finished with her she will never be able to lift up her head n the House again." Daw- son has denied using the words.

Hall Mentali, Unbalanced

Miss MacPhail. the minister said, had been imposed on by Hall whom he described as "the greatest liar we over had in that (Kingston) in- stitution." I-Iall, he said, was men- tally unbalanced.

LEAGUE COVENANT

So far as agreements not to start hostilities are concerned, the league t. ‘ eludes everything the statesmen could think of at the time it was drawn. Membe agree if there should arise any dispute likely to sever relations hey will submit the case to arbitration. to judicial settlement or to the League Council, and meantime agree not to resort to war. Sometimes this has worked and sometimes it hasn't.

The covenant further provides for united pressure by all members against a "defendant state." for ec- onomic and financial blockade, and further lays down the Council shall recommend what military, naval and air forces members shallcontribute to the armed forces w protect the covenant.

The Incarno Treaty was signed in 1925 by France, Germany, Bel- gium, Great Britain and ftaly. It provides that if any of the first three should attack another. the others would join forces against the aggressor. The Anglo-French ac- cord of Feb. 3 last suggested new teeth for this in the proposed mut- ual guarantee against air aggression,

BRIAND-KELLOGG PACT

In the Briand-Kellogg Pact sign- ed in 192B by the major powers in- cluding the United States and since adhered to by practically all the nations in the world, the signatories "renounce war as an instrument of national policy."

Around and about these three in- struments many regional pacts have grown up. The demllitarlzation of the Rhineland is guaranteed by Bri- tain, France, Germany and Italy. Regional guarantees have been giv- en by France to Poland and Czecho- slovakia. The little entente treaties, first of which was signed in 1920, provide regional guarantees between Rumania, Yugoslavia and Czecho- slovakia to preserve the territorial status quo.

UNDERMINES STRUCTURE

Germany and Japanb secession from the League, but more especially Germany's unilateral denunciation of the air and military clauses oi the Versailles Treaty, has under- mined the whole structure. During the past few months sattesmcn oi Europe have been feverishly seek- ing new safeguards [or penceyspur- red anew by Germanys conscription announcement three wccks ago.

Italy and France reached an ac- cord at. Home Jan. '1, agreeing to consult on the problem of main- taining peace whenever circum- stances require, and to guarantee Austria's independence.
