POPULAR IDEA orvtniiilii lniqignus

People Must W o r k Out Own Destiny, Says Rev. Dr. M. M. Coady.

"We have been endeavouring for the past six years to convince the

definite ‘they.’ or the gove. r whom the people claimed should do something for them was no other than themselves," Rev, 1);-, M. M. Coady speaking on the need of adult education said before a largely attended meeting at Prince of Wales College hall last night. Addressing the gathering under tlie auspices of the Prince Edward‘ Island Adult Education League, Dr. Goody, who is head of the ex. tension department of st. pmnou Xavier University, Antigonisi-i, said that another thing that needs to be driven home is that the present chaos is the responsibility of those yrbo have been running the coun- W.

In the past the masses were in- articulate, uneducated and unor- unizcd and as a. consequence a few ran the world by default, The result of that state of affairs was that the ownership of America slipped out of the hands of the common people. Not the ownership of farms or homes, but stocks, bonds and finance, the whole go- ing to make up what is known as business.

The simple formula for the solu- tion of the present problems was for the people to go out and re- possess America, the speaker claimed. "Each one of us can take our part in that crusade," he told the audience. v There are four ways. The first is in the field of consumption; the second money; the third market- ing: and the fourth industrial pro- duction. ,

"The fact that the. present ee- cnomic set—up had been in exist- ence for so long is proof positive that it will not be the set-up of the future for we always do the easy thing first," Dr. Coady thought. He then pl ‘ ‘ to re- view briefly the pmcress which had already been made in each of the four fields. In the first he pointed out that there was no reason why the people could not service them- selves and mentioned the success of the co-operative movement in Cape Breton which started there in i907 and has made great strides ever since. In Great Britain there is another successful co-operative store system in existence.

In the field of money the people get a start through the medium of the credit union. The idea had

A majority of the Womengs in- stitutes were in favor of "compul- sory" marriagc laws for the pro- vince, Provincial Chairman of the Public Health committee, Mrs. Fred Gates of West Royalty, reported to the 23rd annual convention.

am. Gates stated she had obtain- ed the opinion of the branch In- stitutes in Prince Edward Island through questionnaires. In the fact that more than 95 per cent of the questioned bodies had replied in favor of marriage legislation requir- ing physical examination of both parties before contract was reached. the chairman saw "a change in pop- ular outlook sometimes regarded as radical."

As far as disease was concerned, animals were more easily regulated and controlled than human beings, Mrs. Gates said “The human mi- mal objects to interference with what he terms his personal liberty . . . but we must realize the v.tai importance of combatting disease. What we can do as a Women’s In- stitute is to educate people to take a saner view on certain health mat-

ters."

Churchill Says British Navy Strongest

(A. P. by Guardian’: special Wire)

LONDON. July 15-Winston Churchiil. who as First Lord of the Admiralty set the British fleet in motion in 1914. told a crowd at Epping tonight:

"I wish to make it quite clear that the Royal Navy is adequate at the present time for any demand that may be made upon it.

"It is incomparably stronger than any combination of navies which could conceivably be form- ed among the states of Europe."

Lord Strickland, a native of Malta and owner of newspaper thene. demanded in the House of Lrd that the Government “let us have poison gas by the ton stored in Malta.”

By this means, he declared, the Mediterranean Island would be- come a base "so strong in defence and counter-attack that there would be no war."

saying the situation was “grave and becoming graver," the wartime Premier continued:

"We are following the same state which led in 1914 into the fires of Gehenna; the some steps. one by one. including military conversations and pacts. re-equip- merit. increases in armamen ."

M»ON'IlREAUX, Switzerland, July 16—(AP)—Gi-eat Britain. in a com- promise settlement of the Da.rdan- elles dispute, agreed today to aban- don her broad doctrine of keeping the straits open in war-time.

With most otilier Dardaheliespact signatories, Britain acceded to a Russian demand the straits be clos- ed to belligerent warships when Turkey is neutral.

This strict 1;okout would be re- laxed only when a belligerent lia- tion sent warships through the straits under the obligations of the League of Nations covenant, or un- der a League-sanctioned treaty to which Turkey was a party.

Delegations of Rumania. Yugo- slavia and Japan referred the new convention text to their govern- ments, with recommendations it be accepted. Bulgaria, however, made reservations.

It was reported France would start negotiations for a pact with Turkey to dovetail with the Pran- co-Russian mutual assistance treaty. This would permit free movement of French and Russian ships to or from the Black Sea if ll fellow- signatory were attacked.
