New Position In

? TheKing Cab

Mr. RyH. Jenkins And Dr. Cyrus McMillan Sugg- efied As Possi- ble Appointees To Position Of, Minister of Fis-

. heries.

(Canadian: Press)

OTTAWA, Feb. 25.—-Thcre is some conjecture here as to the selection which the Government will make for the new cabinet post of Minister of Fisheries. It is not anticipated that the appointment will be made for some time but it has now been defin- itely stated by the Prime Minister that the marine and fisheries branch- es will be definitely divorced result- ing in two departments. The proba-

bilities seem to be that a hfaritime '

Province man will be chosen. Fisher- men of the Maritime Provinces have been strong in the demand for a fisheries minister. As the government is anxious to place the industry on a prosperous basis the selection of a man who knows something of the fisheries seems probable.

The name of R. H. Jenkins, mem- her for Queens, P. E. I. has been mentioned as a possibility for the po- sition. That of Dr.- Cyrus MacMillun of McGlll Universilty, a member of the Royal Commission which toured the Maritime Provinces has also been suggested.

In the event of Dr. MacMlllan re- ceiving the appointment a seat would have to be found for him. This might be managed in P. E. I. Dr. MacMillan‘s native province. There are others who will be willing to ac- cept the post. At any rate. the whole matter will be weighed carefully be- fore the selection is made.

Canada Indifferent to Newfoundland Trade is Premier Squires’ View. -

NORTH SYDNEY, Feb. 25—lntei'- viewed while spending the day here, awaiting the Newfoundland liner Caribou, .sh- Richard Squires, Pre- mier oi Newfoundland, said that he was disappointed by the contrast, be- tween the apparent attitudes in the American cities he had visited and in Ottawa, towards proposals oi pre- ferential trade arrangements with Newfoundland. American .bilsineas men he had talked with were eager to take advantage of every oppor- tunity to extend Ameircan trade with the Ancient Colony, and to have ev- erything possible done to encourage that trade.

Sir Richard had not proposed to the United States Government any preferential trade usreement, in fact he had left Washington rather hur- riedly, to go to Ottawa. because he was afraid the matter would be brought up by them. and he wished to negotiate with tl1e.Canadian Gov- ernment first, and Ell/B C011"! m” first opportunity. In Ottawa, how- ever, he found what seemed an atti- tude Oi indifference and ietharsv w- wards the development of Canada- Newfoundland trade.

PHUEEEHINES IN THE FEDERAL PlHUlMENT

(From Olir Own Correspondent)

OTTAWA, Feb. 25--This afternoon Tommy‘ Churchill enlivened mat- ters in his usual way lngwng debate on his resolution for he n- struction of the St. Lawrence water- way which he urged with all the force he could command. The re- sult was si ficant in s. statement of Hon. Mackenzie King, prime minister, who obviously capitulated in- respect of the rights of the provinces -in Quebec and .0ntario. The government, he said. did not propose to pursue the proposal fur- ther through the courts but a con- ference would be held between the government of Canada and the prov- inces of Quebec and Ontario for the purpose of arriving at some agree- ment. This would definitely mould the policy which Canada should ad- opt. .

On the suggestion of the Hon. Mr. Bennett who said that it was not for a private member but for the government to formulate a policy on national undertakings. Mr. Church withdrew his motion and the mat- ter dropped for the time being.

The proceedings this afternoon had a special significance for the marltimes in the resolution moved by Mr. Robert Smith (Cumberland) asking the government to further investigate the subject of the Chlg- necto ship canal and the cost of construction and national advantages. He urged the govt. to proceed with this canal at the earliest possible date. Mr. Smith reviewed at very considerable length the historical as- pect of this time honored under- taking which dated back as far as i825 when the first surveys were made and which has had honourable mention from time. to time since. The location of the canal was ideal and he regarded the project of great national importance, absolute- ly essential he said to the welfare and prosperity of the whole oi Can- eda. i

Although the programme of canal building undertaken by the Domin- ion and continued sinpe 187i had resulted in the expenditure of 826d,- 8481112 said Mr. Smith, only $1,737,- 425 of thl; amount had been ex- pended in the Maritime Provinces, and there was infinitely greater need in the Atlantic. seaboard provinces today. than ever before. he added.

The projected canal, said Mr. Smith. would lessen the distance be- tween Hines ldward Island and Saint John by 600 miles. that from lfchtreel to the!” of Fundy by silo miles and from Montreal to the Wit Indies by't00 miles, all of which msantaavlng of many days ‘whim considered in bulk, he laid.

Throughout P. I. I. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick there was an insistent dniro among business men for the construction of this canal.

Hindenburg To Stop Propaganda

BERLIN. Feb. 25.~The anti-Re- publicsn \policles of the "Steel Hel- met" organization resulted today in President Von Hindenburg taking di- rect action to stop such propaganda.

The President spent more than an hour with two of the organization's leaders. Both sides observed silence for the present, but it was learned from a trustwdrthy source that the President talked plainly and told the steel heimeters that they must un- equivocally renounce their anti-re- publican propaganda or he would give up his honorary chairmanship of the

veterans’ association.

suoirr SESSION

Present indications point to one of the shortest sessions 0n record. the sudden breakdown of the debate on the address which usually oc- cupies two or three weeks, shortened it at least by that period. Now that the 5t. Lawrence waterways is def- initely out of the way and the bud- get is in sight for the end of this or early next week prorogatlon is an- ticipated early in May. This is ts- sured if the C. N. R. and C. P. R. can iron out their programmes of branch lines and extentlons go to the rail- way commhtee. »

It is pretty certain too that no important alterations w ill be made in the tariff this session, so that contentions subjects have been re- duced to a minimum. In addition to that however and important in in that connection there seems to be no disposition to prolong debate on any particular sub- jecte with no election in sight there is ind feeling that nothing very much matters just now.

A Tariff On

Canadian Lobsters

Maine lobster packers and fisher- men are now agitating at Washing- ton for the imposition of a duty of 10c per lb. on live Canadian Lob- stcrs entering the United States, also incidentally, one of 50 cents per gal- lon in Canadian Scallops. They al- lege that it costs 26c per lb. to pro- duce lobsters in Maine, and between 6 cents and '1 cents per lb to produce them in Canada. _

A prominent lobster dealer, inter- viewed on this subject states that if this duty of 10 cents per pound is im- pend on live lobsters, there will na- turally be less live lobsters shipped. and more to be canned. An increase in the canned r ‘ ‘ would have a tendency to lower the price. This

cannot but have a disturbing affect on the industry.

Trial Trip Set For Date in July.

OTTAWA, Feb. 25—The flight of the dirigible R-100 from England to Canada will probably be made to- wards the end of July. it was learn- ai; the department of National de- fense today. It had been set for the end of May, but technical improve- ments to the craft are being made which will necessitate delay. It is hoped also that the weather condi- tions will be more favorable at the later date.

Officials of the department regard the flight as one of the most im- portant steps in inter-empire com- munication so far attempted. Flights from England to India and Aus- tralia. are expected to be placed on a. firm basis shortly and the possib- ility of a. route to Australia across Canada is not considered beyond the bounds of possibility.

The development of air mail routes between the domlnions is regarded as a definite necessity in the progress of inter-empire trade. The mooring mast at St. Hubert Que, ls nearing completion and will be ready in good time for the rc- ception of the giant dlrlglble.

DULL WEA THER A T BOGNOR

(Special to The Guardian) -

BOG-NOR, Sussex, Feb. 25- Dull weather prevailed at Bognor today. and owing to a continuous drizzle the windows of King George's bed room had to be kept closed. The King pass- ed a quiet day, however, after a good night. it was officially stated. His Ma- jesty sat up\for some time both in the morning and the aiiemoon.

Suggestions have been made that little Princess Elizabeth, daughter o! the Duke and Duchess of York, might be brought to Cralgwell House to’ say with her grandparents. But they were discounted today in well- informed quarters, as the accommo- dation at Craigwell House is limit- ed, and all the available rooms are now occupied. On this account no family parties are possible. The little Princess is a. great favorite of the King. _

It, is understood the New Year's honors list.’ postponed owing to the King's illness, will be issued some- time near the end of this month, though definite date has not yet been fixed. '

1_ 0 Cars Potatoes Shipped West

To date there have been shipped some ten car loads of potatoes to the west. This started some two weeks i ago.

The new tariff became effective on January 21st. As examples of the rates now‘in force may be quoted: Old Regina rate, $105 l-2c; New rate to Regina, 87c; old rate to Winni- peg, 851-20; new rate to Winnipeg, m; in each case the rate quoted is per hundred pounds from any point in this province to the place men- tioned.

A prominent potato shipper states that matters would have been much better had the Board of Trade and others pressed more energetically for an additional 15 cents reduction. In his opinion the movement may later become somewhat increased. One deterrent to shipments to the west arises from the fact that the railway assumes no responsibility from dam- age due to frost.
