Recommendation Of The Imperial Conference.

(By Ray Brown, Canadian Press

staff Writer).

OTTAWA, Aug. Ill-Ways and neans whereby economic consul- tation and cooperation within the British Commonwealth may be furthered, are to be explored. Es- tablishment of an Empire-wide committee, upon which eacr Com- monwealth state will have epresent- i ation, constitutes the major rec- ommendation of the Imperial Con-I ference committee on methods of wonomlc cooperation.

This report. to which is added the reports of five sub-committees, was given out today after being ap- proved by the Conference. It is an important document involvng much detailed work and corfaining major recommendations. The five sub- committees dealt with industrial standardization, grading and stan- dards of agricultural products, in- dustrlal cooperation. films and ra- dio and finally, procedure.

With the recommendation for a committee to go furtht into ec- onomic cooperation and report "not later than May 31, 1933," two states are not in full agreement. South Africa and the Irish Free State are opposed to the setting up oi anything in the nature of a permanent secretarla,‘ South Africa also declares the‘. it is not committed to giving any financial support to such a Commonwealth organization.

In respect to the financial side oi the matter, the conference was given to understand by represent- atives oi the United Kingdom that funds for financing essential work of the Empire Marketing Board zrould be made available until the end of September, 1933.

The United Kingdom, which has always financed the board will con- tinue to do so until that time. Thus the new committee will have an in- terval in which to conduct its in- vestigatlons and prepare a row"- before the present marketing ma- chinery ceases to function.

One 0f Crew Has Nar-

' row Escape From Death When Gaso- line Expiodes In Hold.

(Special to The Guardian)

A fishing smack from the Mag- Jalene Islands was burned Just out- side Summerslde harbour last night. Brest ,the engineer, nar- rowly escaped instant death when five casks of gasoline exploded and blew him out of the hold of the' vessel. He escaped with burns about the face, arms and side. His iii- jurles were not considered serious.

The vessel had been hired by Mr. Andre Paturel, Summerside, for the fishing season to pick up lobsters from the fishermen along the coast. The vessel had-been hired through Broudie and Co., of Cape Tormen- tine. The owner of the vessel with a crew of three had arrived in Sum- merslde on Tuesday and had made a trip Wednesday to Egmont Boy, bringing back thirty crates of lob- sters to Puturels factory.

How he escaped instant death is a mir- acle.

The Captain had $15 in the cabin which he was unable to get. The other men had considerable money with them which was burned. They lowered the dory to the side of the burning bout and got tile injured man into it. Owing to a rough sea the dory filled with water and the

‘English People Look- ing For a Gradual I m p r 0 v e m e n t In Empire Trade As Result 0f Gon- ference, Says Fer- guson

QUEBEC, Aug. 18.-—“'I'l1e Brltisl people are very optimistic about th/ results of the Ottawa conference,’ said Hon. G. Howard Ferguson Canadian High Commissioner t~ Great Britain on his arrival her! this evening on the Canadian Paci- fic liner Empress of Britain. "The; were, perhaps a little upset at the outset when they received press stories indicating that things wen not going as well as they had hop- ed. but all that is straightened out now. The people of England do not expect an immediate speeding up of everything. What they look ior and what I think the Canadian Government is looking for is a gradual improvement ln Empire trade as a result."

The conference, Mr. Ferguson thought, could not be expected to do more than deal with things in ‘a broad way, but he felt that it had lmore than demonstrated the splrii of Britain to link up the Empire more closely than it ever was.

One of the best features of the Jmporial Economic Conference, Mr. Ferguson said, was the attendance Inf so large n number of unofllclai Idclt-gatcs. “What Canada needs," Inc said, “is for more men who know ithelr jobs to come here and see what we have."
