w, P, By Guardian's special Wire) ' HALIFAX, afar. 28.-Suggsstions [q a unified bar in three blari- tlne Provinces mlgh be worthy of serious consideratiul, 1dr. Justice J. 3,1. Baxter, of the Supreme Court cf New Brunswick mid members of tbs Nova Scotia Barristers‘ society at their annual dinner here.

Possibly the three provinces could aeunliiedln cnecourt of appeal which would "give greater scope to m Bar and strengthen the Bench," he added. It would save the litigant the expense of unnecessary appeal.

Iwtaal Underatanding

'0ne ed the weaknesses of our people-and I am speaking generally cf the Maritime Provinces-is that we have not to the fullest extent cultivated a mutual understanding between our tan million souls. Wa would tells a much more impressive part in the Dominion and in the future of‘ the British lmpire if we were not treading different paths."

Oalling for the Maritimes to "pull together" for progress, he made it‘

clear he was not advocating a Mari- time puitieal union. but rather a closer Maritime sympathy, under- mam; and oo-operation.
