Says Outlook “Terrifying”

(c. l’. By Guardian's Special Wire)

BATH, ENGLAND, Oct. 5—Thc prospect in Europe is "terrifying," said Alfred Dull Cooper, secretary of state for war, in n. speech to-

day. “We see nations arming for war and preparing for war with

enthusiasm and rapidity unmatch- ed and unparalleled in the history of the human race," he declared. ‘This prosfpect is one to terrify the ltoutest heart."

' Bemoaning the fact that British youth no longer favors a military career, Duff Cooper said it would require l0 years at the present rate of enlistment to bring the British army tn its full strength.

OTTAWA, Oct. .5—(C.P.)-—-.P0ssl- bility of Manitoba working out a scheme for debt reductions in its drought-stricken areas, similar to that announced for Saskatchewan recently, was indicated by Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Minister of Agricul- ture, on his retum from Western Canada today.

Mr. Gardiner said the Federal Government could not refuse to treat the other drought-stricken provinces, Manitoba and Alberta, in the sumo way as Saskatchewan. Premier John Bracken of Manitoba had indicated he might present a scheme but Mr. Gardiner had not seen Premier: William Abcrhart of Alberta and none of the other A1- bcrta ministers had mentioned it.

The minister was unable to say what the Saskatchewan debt slash would cost the Federal Government bu: said that on seed grain account debts tifliillillg $6,990,000 due the Dominion would be wiped out. The other Federal debts affected arose out of advances made to Saskatche- wan for relief purposes.

About half the settled area of Saskatchewan, 158 municipalities are in the drought area and will benefit by the debt slash.

These farmers got. 36 bushels to

OTTAWA, Oct. 5—-(CP) —- Con-

~stitutl0nal reform, a live issue in

pnlllicill circles just before the last pnrlirlmsnlaiy session, will not be rcvircd so fur as the Government 1s ccnccrited until aficr the Im- perial Conference next summer, it “'11s learned on good authority to- uiy. '

cw Brunswick refused to approve the proposal in its entirety.

In Government circles it is felt that. with prospects of a short ses- sion in i937 because of the corona- tion and Imperial Conference, such an important move as revision or re-writing of the British North America Act should not be at- tempted. Parliament will probably assemble early in January and pro- rogue in time to permit ministers to reach London for the corona-

the acre or two normal crops in six years. On this basis interest charges for four years prior to Jan. 1, 1935 were wiped out. The mort- gage companies affected would re- ceive no compensation,

Mr. Gardiner said the figure of $75,000,000 mentioned as the tctal of the debt cut was only an estimate.

The mortgage companies had esti- mated their contribution would be between $40,000,000 and $45,000,000. The Provincial Government contri- bution would be between salmon; and $6,000,000. The Dominlorrs share was not ascertained and in addition the municipalities were foregoing arrears of taxes which would amount to u. considerable sum.

The debt cut was only operative in the 1935 drought-stricken muni- cipulities. The corresponding areas in Manitoba and Alberta were smaller and if similar schemes were adopted there the amounts involved would not be so large.

In Manitoba there were nine municipalities which would qualify this year but some 20 or 30 had been treated as in the drought area in other years. Albera had 80 drought-stricken municipalities and this number might be increased to as many as 120.

British Labor Party Urges Probe OfFascistMovement

LONDON, Oct- 5-(OP)-—Britain's blackahirted Fascists tonight threw down the gauntlet to their political foes. '

Taking the offensive following yesterday's disorders which broke up their concentration near the tower of London for a parade, they m- nounoed plans for an augmented series of meetings in the East md.

while magistrates in four police courts dealt with the M Dérsms arrested during the demonstrator-s, n high official of the British Union of Fascists announced:

"We will hold all the meetiflfl W6

an extra program?‘

There were indications that the Government was considering tight- ening regulations governing par- ade; and political demonstrations. Police at present are empowered to prohibit parades and political de- monstrations only if u. breach of peace is threatened.

In the East end 50 marauders to- day invaded the Jewish Colony and

Closer Relationship With Empire Urged

(GP. By Guardians Special Wire)

TORONTO; Oct. 5—(C.P.)—A closer political and economic relat- ionship with the rest of the Empire. and participation in Empire defence, are essential for Canada, Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, former Canadian Commissioner for London, told the‘ Canadian Club today.

Canada could not play the part of an isolationist, he said. Even from) the standpoint of sentiment she

' could not renounce her birthright

and turn her back on the mother- lnn. Mr. Ferguson declared his con- viction that the British Empire is the world's greatest factor in pre- vcnting conflict. It was essential he believed that there be no weak link in the chain.

Support British Hon-Intervention

EDINBURGH, Oct. SJCP-Havas) . )'The Lil-bill‘ P5115‘ today bucked the Trades Union Congress in voting 1 support for Britain's non-intcr- ‘ venticui policy in the Spanish civil war. The vote was 1336.000 to 5m,- i 000. l

The vote was taken after con- flicting addresses by party leaders“ Arthur Greenwood warned an inter- vention policy would mean orer_ throw of the Populrn- Front Govern- ment in France, WlliCil initiated non-intervention, and h i~ would “result in destruction of (no of the barriers against dictatorship and fascism."

Clement Attloe said the, party's ChCTOB W85 difficult, but; nffirnlcri that the non-intervention agree- ment still could be the best wzrycut l if Italy's alleged violations of it were dealt with satisfactorily.

Speaker Sees Threat To Great Britain

I interesting Address l

0n “Present Im- perial Outlook” By‘; Dr. H. L. Stewart.

“It is obvious that British Im- perialism is now the object of a new and formidable challenge. Ger- man and Italian newspapers es- pecially are full of it," Dr. H. L- Stewart of Halifax told an intensely interested audience at Hcnrtz Hall last evening. The distinguished 1e¢y,urer, who . is professor of. philosophy at Dalhousic University. was-speaking on “Great Brilnifis present Imperial outlook." He nus speaking under the auspices of tho

the Empire.

“The small island whose explor- ers, settlers, soldiers and sailors have brought so great a part of tho globe either under Britssh rule or under predominantly British influ- ence, is being sununoncd as ncvcz- before to justify, to abate or share these world wide pretensions." Dr. Stewart continued.

It is impossible to mistake the

new tone which has entered into diplomatic exchange between Lou- don on the one hand and Berlin. Tokyo and Rome on the other. Fire ‘ years ago, when the world economic crisis began to be felt with full; force in Japan, and the Japanese ‘ foreign trade fell by over 30 por cent in the course of a year, it uus decided at Tokyo that the only wuy .‘ out was the annexation of ltilm- . churla. when the British rcmon- strated the Japanese replied that they were doing nothing that other I .1.!?.i.i9us. suds-specially Enzlnnd 11nd not clone in the past. Italy did much the same in the case of Ethiopia and replied in much the same way. Only the other day Hillcrs voice sounded again in the chorus.

m addition to devaluing the lira which was fixed at a. new rate of l9 to the dollar and 9.2.46 to the pound, the cabi- . not adopted a sweeping series of tariff modifications designed to lower trade barriers. They y included the following measures.

1. Rt-zluctions, ranging from 50 ‘ to 65 p;r cont. in customs duties ‘ on wheat, cattle, meat and other products.

2. Abolition of the 15 per cent. ad valorem duty on a long list of imported goods.

3. A rigid system of price control to prevent increases, to remain in effect for the next two years.

4. A compulsory 25-year loan up— y, on all owners of buildings to the ; extent of five per cent. on the ' value of their property, on the ground that property owners alone l will be unhurt by the effects of i devaluation.

5. Abolition of the system of com- pensations for exports and sub- l slnntial modification of quotas on imported goods.

6. Rigid control of speculation.

7. A progressive tax on all com- pany dividends over six per cent. The law prohibiting dividends high- er than six per cent. in effect throughout the Ethiopian war, is repealed.
