“we were prevented from nego- miing with coal, corn. canned 1mm, currants and raisins and with “mo; other products," said Mr. Kin .

s umpire Pacts Attacked

Mr. Bennett had complained be- cause the United States treaty did not glvc Canada concessions on moro products. Had Mr. Bennett not tied lilac hands of the govern- ment with the Empire pacts some o; moss pu-oductsmlght have been included.

In November, 1984, continued Mr. King. the Canadian Minister sug- gested l-llflfg we're no obstacles in me way of a treaty on stipulated grounds. The only reason this did no: result, Mr, King said, was the attitude of Mr. Bennett. "

it was the purposc of his govern- ment, Mr. King said, and he felt sure of the Bennett administration also, to negotiate a fair and 800078 treaty, helpful to both countries.

Neither Canada nor the United States tried to get the bettcr oi the other in negotiations.

The surest way to destroy the treaty, Mr, King said, would be for ono country tc get more than the other. It was for a three-year period but it could go on indefin- itely after that if both countries agreed. The treaty was s. begin- ning. s. step in the right direction. Ho believed it would not only con- tinue in force after the three-year limit but would be eapanded.

The government realised no time was to be lost if an agreement was is be obtained. said Mr. King. Mr. Bennett had suggested there had been undue haste but every con- ceivable angle of the treaty situ- ation had been canvsdsed by gov- eminent officials under m. Ben- neit and their knowledge was avail- able to the new government.

Th9 country had already given an overwhelming mandate to the government to effect the 88m!- ment. and to effect it. without delay.

Liberals were in a different po- sition from Conservatives in nego- tiating ss they had taken the stand duties on implements of production were much too high. This enabled the government to offcr conces- slons to the United States a Con- servative government could not oi-

u Favored Nation Agreements

Referring to the main features of the treaty. Mr. King outlined the articles and what they meant. ‘mere was ons feature not im- mediately apparent-Canada would receive the benefits of flvdivd- nation agreements negotiated by Washington. This would rnako tho twuv increasingly beneficial to Canada.

If no treaty had been negotiated.

N. D. MacLean-

there was no guarantee, Mr. King said, that fiansda would continue to have the tariff rates given to favored-nation countries. Washing- ton gave notice to all countries it intended to levy the higher of its two tariff rates against countries not willing to sign treaties.

There was also a danger some of the items Canada supplied the United Stains under free entry would be placed on a dutiable basis. Tno most important of these was newsprint paper which could be produced from southern pine. Increasing demands wee being made on Washington for a tariff against Canadian newsprint,

While complaints had been made that insufficient concessions had been obtained on fish the conces- sions obtained were important and in no case was the fishing indus- try pissed in s worse position than before the treaty. .

Concessions granted the United States meant, in most cases, con- sidersblo advantages for Canadian pr ‘ n as well as consumers, said Mr. King. In many cases they related to materials or implements of ,. ’ ‘ion and requests for tar- iff reductions on them had been of long standing.

The treaty eliminated the tariff on magazines which had ranged as high as lb cents a copy previously. m. King said. If Mr. Bennett had continued in his attcmpt to give favored-nation treatment to the United States, the magazine tariff would have d‘ appeared as well.

Codllah, Potatoes

Due to depressed conditions in the United States it was impossible .to obtain concessions on codfish and potatoes, Mr. Kinl explain .

On the basis of 1920 prices, the valuo of Canadian exports to the United States affected by the treaty was more than $325,000,000, Mr. King said. It was true the iri- tcrmedlste rates were extended by Canada but they were protective rates. designed to protect Canadian indlltrles against Products from other!‘ countries with much lower living standards than the United States. In addition. with the ex- ception of a. few items, Parliament retained the right to change the intermediate rates if injustices were found.

Tho treaty, Mr. King said, would be takon by all countries as a move in the direction of promoting trade "on a mutually beneficial basis when the world has 800° Pfotty nearly mad in the direction of eo- onomic nationalism."

The treaty, Mr. King concluded. was an attempt to "break the hard crust of economic nationalism." It would open the way to larger trade to the benefit of pi ‘ucers, con- sumers and the railways. It would increase purchasing power and hell) to lift Canada from the sloulh 0! depression.

"I greatly regret I cannot support this resolution," said Conservative leader Bennett, "I regret it very sincerely."

He did not propose, he said. to deal with this treaty in the scri- monious spirit with which Mr. King

Petition From Rustico Fishermen Presen- ted — Several Other Matters Discussed.

At s. special meeting of the council of theCbarlottetown Board yesterday a resolution the petition of the- fis for s fish curing plant and a competent man to take charge, be brought to the attention of Mr. Peter Sin- oleir, M. P. The Board also re- quested thst leadership and as- sistance be given the fishermen of Rustioo in curing and marketing r- -. Tho resolution was

by Mr/R. ll‘. Mutch and seconded by Mi‘. J. O- Hyndman.

Mk‘. Mutch brought the matter to the attention of the Board by presenting a petition addressed to the Minister of Fisheries, the Hon. J. E. Micbaud. and signed by '12 fishermen of Rustico, in which they asked the Department "to place with us s. competent man. or men, who will take charge of the curing, packinfl. and market- ing of our cod, haddock, hake and mackerel. Suitable premises will be provided st reasonable rental where fishermen will deliver their catch each day to be taken charge of by the Government's agent and handled by him in such a way as to assure a properly cured article, but up in a proper manner and placed on the market at a proper price. The proceeds of the salg to be divided among .ths parties sup- plying the plant in the proportion to their deliveries.”

Mr. George J. Tweedy, K, 0,, claimed that legislation would be necessary before tho fishermen would be able to carry out such s scheme of co-w, “ n.

Mr. Mulch said that. a similar plan had been in operation there already in the case of lobster; and the proposed scheme would only apply the idea. to all kinds of fish and also include more fishermen.

Mr. J. 0. Hyndman agreed with Mr. MutchyDr. Clark and Col. G. E. Full also took part in the dis- cussion. As a result of the dis- cussion the Board did not directly support the petition as the fisher- men had asked although support- ing tho idea of a. somewhat sim- ilar plan.

A letter was read from the King's County Liberal Assn. stat- ing that they understood that there was a strong force working to hayg a hard surfaced road laid from Charlottetown to Souris via Mt. Stewart. The letter went on to state that the distance was the same via the Town Road and Montague and by going that way would serve more people and sub- mltted a map and figures from Post Office records and car reg- istration books ln support of the statement. The letter was signed by Mr. E. D. Dunn, secretary of the King's County Liberal Assn}, and asked the Board to use what influence it had to have the road go by Montague. On motion the matter was left over until next meeting.

A resolution was presented from the track forces employed on the P. ~E. I. division of the Canadian National Railways and. passed by them at a meeting on Saturday.

It proteste‘ gslnst the proposed re-arrangcment of the sections by reducing the number and making proposal is to lengthen the sections by about one third. That would mean- that where there are now 43 sections in the Province with one foreman and two men to each, under the new arrangement there would be 30 sections and one foreman and three men to each. It would mean that 13 foreman would either lose their jobs or be demoted, differ- ent speakers at the meeting point- ed out. ,

Afwr discussion thc matter was hr':i over until further infor- mation could be obtained from the railway authorities. The board felt» they could not act until they had heard both sides of the question.

Letters were read from the Sen- ators and. Federal members sc- knowledging the resolutions for- warded by the Board of Trade asking for the double sir service, and that the "Lady Boa. " or some other suitable steamship call here. They statcd that the matters

would be given careful consider- ation. On motion of Mr. Mulch and

seconded by Dr. Clarkgthe three resolutions regarding air mall, harbor improvement and steam- ship service will be presented to the Premier of this Province at a meeting to be arranged for in the near future.

Mr. Wallace Higgins reported that the question of having the S. S- Charlottetown go into dry dock for the annual overhauling early

ugh to permit the boat being back on the run by the first of May was being considered by tho railway authorities. Nothing defin- ite had been decided on yet, how-

The question of the general mestiag in Charlottetown to d:- cuss e proposed bridges was d - cussed and on mot-ion it Wig de- cided to call a general meeting , nsored by the Board of Trade and to be hsld'ln the Board Room of the Cit Building. It will take place on ‘lzhirrsdsy night. Mr. B. L. McClure ,_ " ‘ last

Cornwall M e e t i n g Strongly Approves Suggested New Federal Public Works Projects.

The campaign for the Brighton and Rocky Point bridge project was enthusiastically indorsed at a public meeting at Cornwall Monday night- Mr. William Crosby was chairman, and Mr. Colin MacPhsil, New Argyle, secretary.

‘Mr. L. L Jenkins, the first speak- er, who had clone much to start the movement for these projects in the past, told of his endeavors and said he hoped to see his dream of the past for which he had worked, come true. He stressed the great benefit the work would be to all.

Mr. J. 0. Hylldmnn, who was very enthusiastic oven the work, stated that he came out to help do what. he could; but he was more interes-

Something altogether unique in the way of an evening's entertain- ment was provided by members of Alpha Rebekah Lodge in the I. O. O. F. Hall last night. It consisted of an imaginary pleasure trip to Europe on the "Three Links” ship calling at various ports where en- tertainers gave selections more or less typical of the place. The hall was decorated to represent s. ship's dock and was complete with crew and all a ship's fittings. A large number of Oddfellows and Rebe- kah; were in attendance and all voted the evening a signal success and complimented those responsible for the idea very highly.

The first call was at Belfast, Ire- land, where the Misses Ruby Mac- Dougall and Hazel Henry gave a comic dialogue which was heartily applauded by the audience who were delighted with the novel idea of the cruise.

Glasgow, Scotland was tho next port of call and. the audience was delighted with a Highland fling and sword dance by the Misses Arma- bclle Lawson and Joan MoIntyz-e. The music was supplied by Piper Norman MacKenzie.

At London. England, stop s. char- acter song was given by Mr. Stuart Dickson.

A pleasing intermission , was filled in by a deck dance in which audience joined. Music was sup- pllcd By "the Three Musketeers" consisting of Messrs. Acorn, Groom and. Morrison.

At Miami the Misses Lorena. sem- ple and Claire MacMlllan gave a skit acted to music.

At Savannah the Misos Isabelle Diamond and Helen Acorn gave a comic skit in Negro costume, and at New York, Mrs. N. D. MacLeaJi Irena Young and C. Matlileson provided the entertainment in the form of s. song.

Mr. George Bears in two comic songs was the attraction at Boston while at Sydney, Cape Breton, a step dance by Mr. Alex Brown and the Sailors Hornpipe by Miss Frances Clawson provided the en- tertslnment.

Another deck dance then took place and at‘ Montreal it was fol- lowed by rrench songs by Mrs- Mlller and the Chamiimde Chorus in French Peasant costume.

At the home port, Charlottetown.

an amusing feature was presented when the customs inspector, Mr. Angus McEaohcrn. undertook to- search the 1 gage of one of the passengers, s. Arthur Henry- It proved to be one of the most am- using features of the oveninS- Each of the numbers on the pro- gram was heartily applauded and all the performers were obliged to respond to encores. The ship's crew was made up of: Captain, Fultonndams; first mate, Ivan Nicholson; second mate. Vem- on Howatt; purser. Roy Huestls; steward, Jack Stewart; quill"- master, Leigh Dawson; chef, Dave Bethune; deck hands, Percy Worth! Theo sentner and Herb Thornton- Dalnty refreshments were served by the Rebekahs. '
