(Special to The Guardian)

TORONTO, Ont, May 23.—"'I‘here

is s new spirit of hope and opt ‘ in New Brunswick, Nova. Bcotia and Prince Edward Island due largely to the formation of the Maritime Pro- vinces Association of Toronto and the establishment of the Marltme Trade Commission office in this city." de- clared R. W. E. Burnaby, Maritime trade commissioner, who, with Prof. E. D. MacPhee, rresident of‘ the T0- ronto Association. reported today ai- ter a trip to these provinces down by the sea with the object oi promoting trade. ' "Many plants are now running to capacity in the Maritime Provinces. said Mr. Burnaby. “They are anxious to do business with Ontario and trade with Toronto firms is rapidly in- creasing."

The visit was not without historic interest. At Charlottetown a con- ference was held with local business men and members oi the Govern- ment. and the visitors sat in the same chairs occupied by Sir John A. Mac- donaid, Tupper and other fathers of Confederation. at their first confer- ence held there on September i, i864.

Circumstances Connec. ted With Fraudulent Agent’s Appoint- ment Discreetly Ig. nored in .‘L0ndon Press.

a" To our readers familiar with the Andrew Fraser Mitchell fraud and the manner in which it originated, the source of following editorial from a re- cent issue of the London iEng.) Morning Post will give rise to some curious speculation:

"Prince Edward Island has e loyal population, as was proved by their record in the war. It has besides -a Government which is jealous of the Island province's honor.

"Several years ago an agent of it, employed in London, secured some Government rlotepaper, before his ap- pointment we: cancelled and carried out a series of frauds on British rlllii- tary and naval officers. His method was to sell them silver fox farms either worthless or non-existent. falsely representing himself as acting for the Government. Eventually he was arrested and convicted in London but the defrauded officers got no legal remedy, the Government not being in law responsible for frauds commit‘ ‘ in its name.

‘The Island, however, is proud of its good name, and the Government. by unanimous vcto. has passed a bill to compensate the defrauded officers. We consider it much to the credit oi the Garden oi the Gulf that it has brushed aside the legalities behind which it could have sheltered, and been thus generous with the unfor- tunate victims of s heartless fraud."

TORONTO, 0nt., May 23.—lt is rcporied that a billion dollar in quot- ed values was wiped out in he flood of selling on the New York Eleshange yesterday and Canadian losses on the local and New York exchanges would run into no small figure. Reports of heavy individual losses were current in brokers offices this morning. There was considerable anxiety among the onlookers at the exchange and in local board rooms before the market open- ed this morning.

It was feared that there would be another flood of forced selling and an accumulation" oi overnight orders to sell WOUIGIIIM prices still lower. The New York tietsr Iwas carefully and furtively watched to sea what would happen on the on board.

Clark, Canadian Press staff Correspondenn-JI-‘he situation with respect to rum running from Canada into the United States ap- psrently remains what it was after the January anti-smuggling con- ference in Ottawa. Discussion in the Canadian parliament of corruption am en rcement units along the border was front page new; 1n the capital and elsewhere but. no official statement was issued in relation thereto. The attitude of the United States anti-smuggling forces was brought out. with the publication of a report and correspondence bearing on, the Ottawa. conference. The testimony of former Prohibition colnmleioner-E. W. Camp, noted temptation " in the

enforcement units along the border,

was unusually strong and that

his under-cover men reported the sit- l

nation bad beyond expression." Their cards with respect to coruption were then laid on the table and the oom- misionnl: bed since resigned.

Camp's testimony, it is suggested, may have been too forceful and clear to meet the desires of the administra-
