CANADNS OFFER

carping criticism has appeared in loans Liberal newspapers in oI-oliil

‘an, the nature of the tariff prefer-

bnoel offered by Premier Bennett in

the Brlitsh delegates at the Imp"- pi Conference, it being alleged gmg thug preferences are merely ympty gestures. The facts of the nativi- are clearly set forth by the "Ottawa correspondent of the Tor- onto Globe, leading Liberal news- paper, in its issue of August 2. 'I‘he qipbc points out that the confer- gnco is reaching a critical stage due in time delay in the British re-

aponse to Canada's proposals for I

trade agreement based on reciprocal pzoferences, that these M0006!“ represent substantial concessions and that thus far no satisfactory [reply has been forthcoming from

Mr. Baldwin and his colleagues-

Aocording to the Globe corres- pondent Premier Bennett stated at a joint meeting of the United Kins“ dom and Canadian delegations ex- actly what Canada expects. and is prepared to give. "Canada wants a preference on her primary products as against foreign countries like Russia, Denmark, Argentina and the United States. and is ready to open the Canadian market to certain fabricated products oi Britain. With the tariff adjustments she is pre- pared to make, it is estimated there would be an outlet in this country for an additional $50,000,000 worth of British goods. The response to these overtures has not been all that could be desired, according to information from ‘an authentic source."

Moreovcn-and hero is the point on which less responsible Liberal newspapers have apparently en- leavored to mislead, their readers:

Capt. James uishtiser. Fromm‘ President of the Canadian Milw- in his address yesterdly at the "i- nugl meeting cf the organisation at Mount Stewart. Capt. Elihu!" referred to the difficult situation new 631st!!!‘ 1n 1.118 billlnfifl ind social structure, not only o! m" country, but the world. "There is a spirit," he said, “of unrest, dis- trust and criticism abroad. There- fore I appeal to you to hold fast to the established principle! 0! W!’ country and to uphold constitutionll governments whether civic, provin- cial or federal. We who have pl"- cdtnrcughthetestingfiresofwsr with all its min-inns I-od hem" can surely endure the petty troub- les and possible grievances which civil life now imposes; these diffi- culties can best be solved and sd- justed by legal methods.”

Capt. Leightizer has done a serv- ice to the community as well as to his comrades in the Canadian Ile- gion by his timely utterance on this point. It is known that lri the recent attempted Communist de- monstration at Ottawa efforts were made to enlist the support of war veterans. The Legion, however. stood true to its principles of Brit- ish democracy and refused to sl- ign itself with the agitators. What- ever grievances ths returned sol- diers in Canada may have, they rightly feel that the proper course is to seek redress through recognized channels; and they also feel, as the Provincial President has said. that adverse conditions are by no means confined to this country, but are world wide in extent, and can best be solved by sympathetic co- operation with tha authorities, rather than by hectic demonstra- tions and appeals to mob prejudice. The Legion acting y soy was honoured by the presence of Major John S. Roper, M. C., K. C.,

. ably 100 important tariff items C11 which the barriers against British producers would be low- erred suffidently to enable them to get orders in Canada. In other words. the preferences would be genuine preferences.”

Today's despatches give a further detailed statement by Premier Ben- Iictt, ‘showing Canada's proffered concessions to be 100 per cent great- cr than predicted by the Globe correspondent.

In the circumstances. itisdifflculttnaeewhsrctbsal- leged "concessions" to the Domin- ions can be found. Britain's fiscal system has in fact been dictated as it should have been, by her owls conception of what was likely to promote her own economic inter- ests. So has that of Canada, Aus- tralia, and every other self-govern- ing Doniinion. She has adhered to (m; grade because, rightly or wronl- ly, she has believed free trade to be to her advantage. And for the very same reason most of the Do- minions have maintained PIN“- tionist tariffs.

Whichever party gels in, says Ill exchange, John Barleycorn seems sure of a more or less hearty wel- come in the United States. The Democrats will let him in at the front door, the Republicans at the back door, and i , table citizens in general. following a. good old pie-war habit, will make use of the side door. It is provided, of course. that Mr. Barleycorn shall behave himself and laws will be made to that effect. From these laws great things are expected, includin8 enough revenue to bridse the de- ficit, and a more effective justice which will out crime down by ssy fifty per cent. The gangster and the bootlegger will cilrl up and die in the steady flame of reform. It is with regret that we cavil at these high hopes.

Dr. Robert A. Millikan, famous physicist has said that the develop- ment of machinery and the ad- vance of science are "making man the master of his fate and provid. ing the opportunity for n, civiliza- tion enormously more beautiful and more beneficient to every man. woman and child on earth."

The lmisevllie Courier-Journal. one of the most influential news- papers in the United States, view- the Ottawa conciave as a major move for the benefit, not only of the British Empire, but of the world at large. "The movement, started at Lausanne when Holland, Bei- glum and Luxembourg agreed to negotiate preferential tariffs and to invite other nations into the same reciprocal arrangement, is appar. ently making headway at Ottawa, where the Imperial Economic Con- ference is in session. The idea of a tariff wall around the British Em- pire, with preference within, is apparently the farthest thing from the aim of the Liter-national ga- thering. Outside antagonism re- sulting from a policy like that 0! the United Statesis carefully be- ing avoided. - from the rest of the world would be dangerous, as Premier R.- B. Bennett of Cano- da has warned, as 70 per cent. of Empire trade goes to foreign countries."

The recovery of millions in gold from the sunken liner Egypt will be numbered among the few suc- cessful attempts to salvage the treasure that lies in Davy Jones's locker. Many millions have gone down in ships since man first ven- tured out into the open sea; some spots on the ocean's bed are no doubt paved with Spanish pieces of sight, but tively little of it has been recovered. locating the sunken ship is usually difficult, depth is an added hazard, and the salvage: is always at the mercy of the weather.

The most successful search for sunken treasure was conducted of‘! the coast cf Northern Ireland. Here in 101'! the White Star liner Lau- rentic was tcrpedoed by a German submarine. She was on her way to America with from $30,000,000 to 835.000.0011 in bullion to pay for munitions, and sank with a loss of some 300 lives in about 100 feet of Year after year divers la-

A hunt for sunken treasure, morc

dramatic though far less succcssfu. financially, was that for the Ham» ills Mitchell, which went down on the rocks oi! the coast of China. The owners of the vessel believed l“ 5PM‘- °T "m 1" u” “h” *3‘ her a total loss, but a sea captain and two divers determined to make an attempt to recover $250,000 in 801d that went down with the ship. They located the hulk and gleefully dragged up gold. About to weigh anchor, they saw some sails on the horizon and recognized them as be- T“ physlcm“ 5°“ “m” m“ 101181118 l0 the junks of Chinese pirates. After a long and exhaust- ing chase. the men finally reached Shanghai in safety.

The finding of the Egypt's gold

liner was sunk in 1922, and in the

tions were started by the original Artigllo, which had located the sunken vessel after a search be- ginning in 1929. In the autumn of I 1930 the Artigllc was blown up, with a. loss of fourteen lives. Last sum- mer the new Aztlglio spent the entire season clearing the way to the bullion mom, 1n which the 511m of $5,000,000 rested. Indian cur- rency hotes, it is believed, are also in the liner worth about $14,000,- 000..

The unsuccessfui hunts for sunk- en treasure have been as dramatic if not more so, than the successful ones. There is, for instance, the story of the Aimirantc dc Floren- vla, supposed to have been the pay ship, if not the flagship, of the Spanish Armada. Her commander, Perelra, dropped anchor in Tober- mory Bay, Scotland, in 158B, and asked for food. The terms were hard; food in exchange for 100 men to fight for the Highlanders, and a double handful of gold an well. Pereira balked at paying the gold.

‘Ifhc Scots seized a number of Spanish officers ‘as hostages to in- sure receipt of the money. Pereira. retdliated by carrying of‘! Donald Glas MacLean, son cf the chicftain. Young Donald. desperate and vengeful, broke into the powder magazine and thrust a, flame into it. He perished with his enemies.

In 1650 the title to the wreck wu granted to the Duke of Argyle, and in 1660 Archibald Campbell, ninth Earl of Argyle, first drew to light the remnants of the ship. From time to time parts of it-cannon, muskets, pieces of eight—havc been retrieved, but the treasure chests are as they were three and a half centuries ago.

Another sunken treasure ship which so far has defied man's ef- forts to rob it is the Ward liner Merida, sunk oil’ the Virginia. Capes in I911. She had taken aboard at Vera Cruz, a number of supporters of Porfirio Dias, who were fleeing from Mexico when his regime crumbled. In the strong room was gold and silver they had brought with them, and, it is said, the crown jewels of the Emperor Max- imilian. Flfty miles ofi Capo Char- les. the Merida was rammed by the United P's-nit liner Admiral Ferra- get and sunk. It was not until 1025 that Ired Nellson, veteran of the salvage of the submarine r-a in Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, located her.
