CHARIKJTIETOWN. Sept. 18- (CPJ-Canadws Fathers of Con- federation envisioned more than mere political unity when they fashioned the Dominion. In the opinion of Hon. H. H. Stevens, Re- construction Party leader, they dreamed also of an economic entity in which a united people would re- Wlvfl Justice and fair play. Until this had been established, "we have failed to carry out in full the idea of Confederation.“

Here in "the Cradle of Confeder-

ation" Mr- Stevens once again trained his guns on financial and industrial corporations. which he charged were dominating the life of Canada. Particularly he stressed .tbe view Canadian banking and financial interests, with support of Prime Minister Bennett, had stag- nated business with "a tight money policy" instead of permitting ade- quate a-nd free flow of currency and credit.

“One of the things which is throt- tllng Canada. Ono of the things indeed which is throttling the world. is high interest," Mr. Stevens told his listeners. Financial inter-

ests would "throttle Canada's econ- omic iife" if permitted to go un- checked with a policy which cut down note issue by a. hundred mil- lion in six years and reduced com- mercial loana by $573,000,000.

It was not sufficient to get to- gether on-July l and celebrate Con- federation. More important was full implementation of the idea which

lay behind confederation-that of a happy, prosperous and united people.

Mr. Stevens, who was making his single appeal to electors of Prince Edward Island, took the audience over part of the ground covered by the Price Spreuis probe. He told of great concentrations of economic

Hitler Summons Reichstag To Make Announcement.

(B! Louis P. Imchner Associated Press Foreign Staff)

NURNBERG, Germany, Sept. l8—Adclf Hitler called his Reich- stag into unexpected Sunday ses- sion to proclaim the Swastika. bold symbol of the Nazi Reich, as Germany's only national flag and to pronounce it the “Flog of Free- dom" members of Der FHCIIXBYS personal entourage said tonight.

This intended honor for the

Swastika was made known as the Relchsfuehrer spoke to 150,000 political organizers at the Nazi party convention. V "I dared to conquer Germany because I kzzew the heartbeat oi my nation," he told the organiz- ers. "I was not mistaken."

The Bremen incident in New York Harbor, when the Swastika was ripped from the prow of the German liner by rioters, and the subsequent discharge of five de- fendants by Magistrate Louis Brodsky who called the Swastika "u pirate flag." were said author- itatively to have contributed to Hitler's determination for a nat- ional tribute to the flag.

Another factor was the oppos- ition of rewtionarles and mon- uchlsts at home and even of some army officers.

Der Fuchrer had no other pur- pose originally in summoning the Reichstag to meet here Sunday. hll associates said. Other topics the nature of which has not yet been made clear, were added later.

Even the traditional red, white and black of the Imperial era. which out of veneration for the past had been permitted to fly as an equal to the Swastika. now must take second place.

Earlier Dr. Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda, had told the Nazi convention delegates they must war on Bolshevism as "the sworn enemy cf all nations, all religions and all culture." He accused Jews, "those wandering tribes without a nationality." as the moving spirits of Red propaganda.

Long Forces Seek Peace WithRoosevelt

BATON ROUGE, 1.3.. Sept. 13- Repeal of decrees which Senator Huey P. Long was drivingthrcuzli his Louisiana legislature when lie was assassinated became tonight an objective of the late Senator's foes, already cut to seek defeat of his organization at the polls as Long's men held out an olive branch to Washington.

The men Long never was abic to bring into his political Camp, as well as some who were forced in but now are free to line up with the oppositionlsts again. thus rpcnsored a dual campaign.

In the Long camp it was learned a truce was being sought with the Roosevelt administration. against which the fallen leader waged a. bitter war. Particularly anxious are the Long leaders to terminate in- come tax investigations for which they claim there is no basis. A caucus of lung's followers next week will shape the course to be taken.

While , claimed the major interest, on announcement was made that the inquest into the

Proved False

Cherry Hill H25? With Acclaim Dr. A. A. MacDonald, Kings County Candidate. Quality Of Dr. Thomas Grant’s Arguments Revealed By Senator J. A. Mac-

Donald.

I-Iow enthusiasm for a party_ may die or change to distaste in a few

,weeks was demonstrated most con-

clusively last evening at the joint political meeting at Cherry Hill, where the King's County campaign opened. Dr. A. A. MacDonald with the support of Senator MacDonald in one cf the most stirring debates of the yea;- completely vanquished Dr. Thomas Grant and his hench- men. The audience reached a. high point of enthusiasm as insincere Liberal arguments were subject to devastating stack.

Dr. A. A. MacDonald opened the debate with a. brilliant eflort, plac- ing the issues fairly before the el- ectors. Dr. Grant, who flve years ago made his reputation as a. com- edian appeared in the role of a pol- itical mountebank who carried out a burlesque with deadly seriousness. He. read letters and quotations with dramatic emphasis. interpolating funny remarks on his own account. His Waterloo came when Senator MacDonald proved point after point of Dr. Grant's speech to be absol- utely false. suggesting that possibly the candidate lacked knowledge of the subjects he had been discussing. Ftdgety and fuming, Dr. Grant saw his empty arguments prlcked like balloons while the audience listened with delight. '

Mr. Henry Coffin oapably pre- sided at the meeting.

Dr. A. A. MacDonald

Dr. ‘A. A. MacDonald in opening his address recalled recollections of his boyhood days in the vicinity of Cherry Hill. His nomination as county candidate was unsought as he already had sufficient work to do. he said.

The country at present was tn an unsettled state due to the de- pression. The Great War‘ had been followed by a period of inflation which set the world giddy. The de- pression was the result. As a result of panic in Prince Edward Island one of the best governments which the Island ever had was turned out of power. Liberals were now direct- ing an unfair, an unjust, criticism against one man. R. B. Bennett. In tlic light of history not one name will stnd out nfore prominently than that of R. B. Bennett. The traditions of the Conservative Party were traditions of which Canada might well be proud. Sir John A. MacDonald had built Can- ada, and Sir Wilfred Laurier. the

Speed Record

For Land A Planes

SANTA ANA, Calif, Sept. 13- The world's speed record for land planes was pushed nearer six- miles-minute today by Howard Hughes, movie producer, who nar- rowly escaped death in a forced landing at the finish.

Taking the air only l0 days after the racing car of Sir Mal- colm Campbeli rocketed the speed record on land to 301.387 miles on hour, Hughes roared six times over a fixed course. b61118 (500395 unofficially at 358 miles an hour- 337, 350, 340, 350 and 853 m. p. h- respectively.

Depression Responsibility

Dr. MacDonald asked the ques- tion: "Undcr whose regime did de- pression start?" The crash came in 1029. Why? Because the world went wild. People were doing too much business on paper. Mr, King had promised to put his old policies in force and bring back prosperity. If those policies could bring back prosperity, why did they not pre- vent the coming of depression in i929. the speaker asked.
