No Decision

To Repeal 1930

Legislation

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Dec. 11.-The Canad-

ian Governmsnt has made no de- cision to repeal the lsao legislation prohibiting clearances to vessels with cargoes of alcoholic beverages for "dry" countries. Neither has the question been before cabinet

council so far for consideration.

From well-informed official sour-

ces this information came yesterday in connection with reports from the United States that the Canadian

isw would be repealed.

But the United States Congress

might, automatically, nullify this legislation, in the opinion of rev- enue omcials. If Congress passed stronger beer or other alcoholic bc- verage legislation, revenue officials state, the Canadian act might be- come inoperative. This 1930 legis- lation, specifying no particular country, merely prohibits clearan- ces to vessels with cargoes of alcoh- olic beverages for countries into which importation is illegal by their

laws.

ii‘romaviewp°intoicoldcash.re-

field. _ y "That report was unauthorized.”

Mr. Bennett said. “Although I am I Public man I am entitled to the amenities of polite society and Ii decline to discuss my personal af- fairs. - i "Whether I shall, settle down in

England is a matter I have not yet thought of,” he added, "and in any even; it is not a matter for dis- cussion in newspapers. When there is any statement to make on the subject I will make it.”

As the boat train from Liverpool

drew into Eustonstation Mr, Ben- nett ooruld be seen at the window smiling out at the crowd ot prom- inent men and members of the Govemment who had come to meet him.

Lord I-lallsham, Secretary for

War, and J. H. Thomas, Dominlons Secretary, climbed aboard the train and could be seen shaking hands with the Canadian Prime' Minister. Mr. Bennett stopped smil- ing only for about two minutes, while he drew Mr. Thomas asidei and engaged him in earnest con-_ versation which both accompanied. with animated gestures. As noi stepped to the platform Mr. Ben- nett posed for news photographers and submitted to an interview.

He said he would not go in

France as he had originally in- tended and would remain in this country only nine days. Mr. Ben- net; said he would see members of the United Kingdom Govemment on matters connected with the trade pact signed by Canada and| Great Britain at the Ottawa Eco- nomic Conference but declined to say what questions would be dis- cussed. ,_

He replied with an emphatic

"no" to a question whether he had come here with an offer of Can- ada’s aid to the United Kingdom in the matter of its war debt to the United States.

"The United Kingdom and Can-

ada never interfere with each oth- er's responsibilities,” he said.

When he was asked for his gen-

eral view of the war deb; situation he replied "but they are not due yet. Besides we don‘t owe America anything. We are all right. I see no danger anywhere. The horizon is absolutely clear."

striction of exportation to the United States means an annual loss of revenue to this country of 815,- 000,000 yearly. Bevel-al private members, who opposed the legisla- tion back in May, |930, have other reasons for the repeal of the law. C. G. Power (Lib, Quebec South) and B. C. Robinson (Con. Essex West) intend to ask Parliament for revocation. Before Parliament sd- journed last month for recess un- til January 30, their intentions were indicated to the House of commons. The relult will be A debate on the subject. Liquor is still going to the United States from Canada by way oi' the French islands of Bt. Pierre and Miquelon in the Gulf of Bt Lawrence, these opponents of the legislation contend, but no revenue

This morning the Guardian Cheque starts its travels.

Bow far will it go? How much will It buy?

when someone wishes to psy a subscription or ad- vertising account, the cheque will be accepted by the Guardian, and a new cheque will immediately be put into

circulation.

This is not sn attempt to introduce list money as the

cheque is slways redeemable either at the bank or at the Guardian, and there is no chance of anyone being loft "holding the bag”; the only stimulus to its rapid circula- tion being the spirit in which the idea is taken by the people of Charlottetown. Remember, the maximum bencht can only be reached by everyone entering the game and passing the cheque ss quickly as possible.

, To take the cheque as payment for anything loss than

five dollars would partly destroy its usefulness so this should be avoided whenever possible.
