Great Britain

An inspiring appeal to Canadians to think of their country not in terms of material but of educational values, was made by Professor J. S. Thomson, M.A., of Pinehill, Hali- fax, N. S., last evening in an address in Hearts Memorial Hall which dealt

adult education in Great Britain. but which covered many other phases of the subject as .well.

ﬁr. me Hon. W. J. P. MacMlllan. Minister of Education, presided and introduced the speaker.

Prof. Thomson first -SXpl'BSS€d pleasure at the privilege of revis- iting Prinoe Edward Island, where he had spent an enjoyable week some two years ago. He had heard about Canada long before coming out to this country. This was not surprising when one recalls that there is hardly a home in the Old Land that has not some friend or relative in this country. "The bonds that unite us," he added, “are very real. and we llorpe they will go on increasing, particularly in these

Canadian‘: of Scottish descent, he suggested. have perhaps formed an idealised picture of Scotland; it is the Jerusalem of their dreams; and he was afrad the Scotland of today would heardly live up to the picture they had Ionned.

"One gets in Canada, even in these older sections of Canada, the sense that the future is still to be made. The hearts of the people are still young. You are looking for- ward to the days that are to come; whereas one gets the impression, in going to the Old Land, of a people with s. past . . . It is to bring these two viewpoints together this even- ing that I shall attempt to outline some recent developments in adult

EBUNUMIES URINFEATIUN IS BHUIBE

(Alisociated Press)

PARIS, May 4—'l‘he Senate was warned today that France must choose between economies or infla- tion and that the government has been unable to obtain assurances from President Roosevelt of a mor- atoriuln on the debt payment due the United States in June.

Senator Henry Berenger, chair. man of the Foreign Affairs Com- mittee, demanded to know whether the Government was asking a 90 per cent reduction in the war debts to meet the reduction in repara- tions granted Germany at the Lau- sanne Conference.

“Our gesture of magnificent chiv- alry is not yet understood in Wash- ington," he said. "Was the attitude of the American Senate modified by the Herriot mission? I ask ex- planation of this point."

Foreign Minister Joseph Paul- Boncour replied that the Senator had asked “embarrassing questions for which I must ask at 1535b g 24-hour moratorium."

they would issue a call for volunteers

(Associated Press) LONDON, May 4---'l‘he first offi- cial expression of Grout Britain's attitude toward a tariff truce was voiced by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald today when he inform-

ed the House of Commons that Britain was asking for special "safeguards."

Mr. MacDonald, reporting to tho House on his economic discussions with President Roosevelt in Wash- ington, also revealed thut discussion of the war debts had been barred from the programme of the World Economic Conference.

It was understood that at a con- ference today between Prime Min- ister MacDonaid and Norman H Davis, United States Ambassador at Large, the conferees found them- selves in close affinity of view on the general programme. While dif- ferences existed over details, the be- lief was expressed that nothing in- superable in this connection would present itself.

France was said to be moving rapidly toward acceptance of a tar» iff truce ill principle, and there were indications that the same fa- vorable attitude might he expected from Great Britain.

This attitude towards eventual acceptance of the truce was con-t fined, however, to action by the conference itself when it is con- vened June 12.

WAR. DEBTS QUESTION

The question of the war debts was raised in the House of Com- mons after Prime Minister Mao- Donald had completed his report on his Washington discussions. He was asked whether the debts would be discussed at the parloy, and he re- plied, "no."

In his statement to the House the Prime Minister revealed that tile debts had been "frankly examined in all their aspects “while he was
