West Not Downhearted, Declares Archbishop McGuigan Of Re- gina, Who Is Revisiting _ His Native Province.

Message

Bearing a message of optimism in the prospect of improved con- ditions in the West, the Most Rev. J. C. McGuigan, D. D., Archbishop of Regina, Metropolitan of Saskat- chewan, arrived in Charlottetown on Tuesday evening on a short vis- it to his mother, Mrs. Annie Mo- Guigan, his relatives and friends. Archbishop McGuigan, who went to Edmonton with Bishop O'Leary in 1921, and who has since won outstanding , distinction in his

ada, is delighted to revisit his na- tlve Province and to note that the world-wide depression has reacted with less effect in Prince Edward Island and the Marltlmes generally than on many parts of the contin- ent.

The depression, the Archbishop states, has certainly been worse in the West than in Eastern Canada. The adverse situation in Southern Saskatchewan was intensified by successive crop failures. The people, however, are now optimistic and

Shared Innermost Sec- rets of Regina Branch of Party In Canada - Prisoners Appear Anxious.

BY JACK HAMBLETON

Canadian Press Staff Writes’. TORONTO, 0nt.,N0v. 4-1-‘0: seven long yolrs, a shabbily clad, stocklly built little Ger- man-Canadlan acted as secre-

tary 0f the Regina, Sash, branch of the Communist Party of Canada. For those

seven years he shared the in- nennost secrets of the “legal” 1nd "illegal" branches of the party, sat at the. council seat- nttended conventions, talked

and uuIIBSPOIIdCd with the leaders. Today, the sllne stolld little man stood in the witness hox at the trial of nine alleged Communists here.

A Transformation

But this time, he had changes the ragged hand-me-downs for the. scarlet and blue of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It was the first time in ten years his comrades said, that he had worn the proud uniform of Can- ada's famous force. The high col- lar bothered him somewhat. l-Is shuffled under the strain of an- swering hundreds of qusticns"

late today after having caused at least three deaths, damaged property and delayed ship ping.

Two or three, smaller boats were smashed on the rocks on various places along the coast and heavy rains led to serious floods in parts of Wales and Lancashire.

The French and Scandinavian coasts also were struck by the storm and shipping was forced to seek shelter. Curiously, the gale blew from the southwest and brought warmer weather to London, rais- ing the temperature 17 degrees. above normal for this date.

DIGBY, N. S., NOV. 4-—-'What ls believed to be the granddaddy of western Nova Scotia lobsters was caught in a trawl of a Digby fish- erman yesterday a few miles but from the harbor.

The lobster weighed twenty-five pounds, six ounces, which as lobsters go is N‘ ‘-' red a pretty good feast.

and out of the welter of testimony he gave, emerged the following. L-His name was Sergeanl John Leopold, of the Royal Cana- dian Mounted Police. 2.—For seven years he had beer. secretary of the Regina branch of the Communist party.

3—He had won the post through hard work. d-While a member cf the

party he was known, not as ser- geant Leopold, but E. W. Rheol- wain.

S-J-fe had entered the Commun- ist party in search of evidence to prove that it was an unlawful association and that members of the party were parties to a sedit- ious conspiracy.

Prisoners Pertnrbed

All this evidence, and more, he gave under Crown questioning. Before him sat nine prisoners, ai- leged to be leaders of the party in. Canada. They were Tim Buck, Tom Ewen, John Bcychuk, Amos T.
