Little or no Progress Made During Open- ing‘ council session-- Germans Strength- en Demands by Threat to Return to. Berlim-Crisis Fear-l ed.

(special to The Guardian)

tpldNlll/‘A; March 8.——-'l‘be future of the League of Nations, which is Europe's conscience, and the spir it of ‘Locarno which ‘is Europe's best hope for peace, are seriously threatened. After vigorous discus- sl-ons Sunday between the lflve so- called locarno powers Great Bri- tzlltl, France, Germany, Belgium and ‘ltaly it must lbe said that there is a possibility of a major il-Itlropean crisis, which would not only ‘be fatal to the League, but would seem to ‘prove the imlpossi- bility oi‘ ‘European countries work- lllg together.

The "dress rehearsal" for what‘ should be the greatest historical‘ event since the signing of the‘ Treaty of Versailles resulted in postponement of the rformance. 'i‘he statesmen after t ree or four hours of extremely frallk exposure of their several viewpoints detlart- ed without being-able to agree just what, if any. “piay" they would stage later.

(Canadian Preea) OTTAWA. Mar. 8. —The govern- ment's legislative programme is now largely ill silape for present- ation to the House of Commons when lt reassembies on March 15th, it was learned on good atl- thority here today.

Probably the first order of the ‘new DUBUIBSS will ‘be the tabling of the estimates for the fiscal year. The estimates will contain a vote for completion of the Hudson Bay Railway according to the best un- official information available. it is lcnow-n that the old Age Penn- ions Bill stands‘ printed and ready for distribution when the govern- ment introduces it into .tbe Com- mons. lt will likely call for Drov- incial cu-operatiou and will provide pensions for indigent persons over 70 years of age. The rural credits legislation is now practically cont- pleted. A committee of the cabi- net and the executive of the Pro- gressive party in the House have worked together over the bill for some weeks. As the measure stands :tl0w it is said to be waiting the consideration of Dr. H. M. Tory, of‘ the research council who tuade an extensive report on rural

otirers homo to ‘such all extent that‘ an hour ctlt off on either end would be not only n benefit but would help materially in making hotne- life more congenial for labourer and his family.

lMayor Miller assured the delega- tion that the, matter would be giv- en every attention-as labor must be heard-and that the Council

would deal fairly and squarely with the petition.

EIRST MEETING

Splendid Addresses b Minister 0f Agri ing Authorities ries -Meetings C

I

Prince Edward island's Annual Farmers‘ Week was officially open- ed last evening by a general meet- ing ‘held i-n the Technical School Building. and considering the un- suitable conditions for travelling was well attended. It was pro- ductive of some valuable and inter- esting addresses on the agricultur- al situation in. t-his and other pro- vinces, given both ‘by visiting agri- cultural authorities and by Hon. J. H. Myers, Provincial Minister of Agriculture.

Mr. Walter Shaw acted as chair- man and called upon as the first speaker Mr. L. A. Gibson, a former Islander, and now Dairy Commis- sioner of the Province of ‘Manitoba. Mr. Gibson in ‘a very effective and pleasing speech reviewed the live stock farming that ‘has ‘been made in his adopted province in the lust few years, and incldently mention- ed the important part that former islanders are playing in the ‘build- ing up of Western agriculture in all its branches.

As bis particular llnc of business was dairying, Mr. Gibson said that he would confine his remarks principally to that subject, but would also endeavor to show ‘how other forms of farming, including swine-raising, fit in with and works nicely along with, this in-‘ dustry. l-n the province of Mani- toba the swine ‘business had been progressing very nicely, practically every farmer was raising a number of pigs, and they were finding that it was a fine side-line in connec- tion with cattle-raising which is the Provinces principal live stock industry. At first the bulk of the pork and ‘bacon used in Manitoba ‘had ‘been imported from" Easter" Canada, ‘but today a fairly large quantity was produced right ill the Province. Some weeks as‘) the speaker had visited Calgary and Edmonton, and he found that one company in the former city had killed 1900 pigs u. the day. with their average daily kill fluctuating from 1600 to 2000 piss- At Ed- monton the Swift Canadian Com- pany averaged from 500 to 700 a day. The particular ‘breed of hogs being raised at present was the Yorkshire, and although the farmers ‘had ‘been previously grow-
