Outstanding developments of the day, as Judged here, were the elevation of the Danzig Nazi leader, Albert Forster, to chief of the Free City and the peace ap- peals of President Roosevelt and Pope Pius. ' The appeals were welcomed. but were conceded little chance of success.

Five classes of reservists came from all parts of the country to concentration cent-ras. Tonight. the calling of three more classes would make the mobilization com- plete.

Latest. available estimates were that somo._2.000.000 men were un- der arms in France and French territory. Troops in the south were moving in large numbers to the Italian border. 'nhe Maginot Line, opposite Germany. has long been fully manned.

Dr. MacPhee was called to th platform, amid rousing applause. In expressing his thanks to the delegates. he said his desire was to serve his party and his country, and service to party u service to countzry where the National Con- servative Party is concerned. He was pleased to see such a large gathering which showed that the Conservative party was not dead and that a return to stable gov- ernment was egvcted. He referr- ed to the recent speech of Prem- ier Macxenzle King at the Lib- eral dinner in Toronto. The speech was, to a vast number of Canadians. disappointing as there was no mention of whathe intend- ed to do in the great problems that confront Canada today.

HON DR. MACMILLAN

Hon. Dr. Mai-.Milian. as usual. re- ceived a tremendous ovation when called upon to address the meet- ing. He congratulated the dele- gates on their unanimous choice and referred to the splendid rec- ord of D7. MacPh-ee in his service to his country in the Great War. He expressed p‘easure at so large a gathering of farmers at this busy harvest season and interpreted it as strong evidence of their faith in the party. In Dr. MacP'hee they would have a strong man who would look after their interests at Ottawa.

Dr Mm-Mlllan spoke strongly on the deplorable condition of affairs in this province under Premier Campbell. The ‘enormous expendi- tures and waste of the Public Works Department. the tax methods. an-‘ Administration of the Pro- hibition Act under an autccrarc Attorney-General.

No further sessions of cabinet council have been fixed. but the Prime Minister said that his col- leagues had been asked to stand- ready for call on short. notice and if developments make it advisable. I meeting will be called t.omorrow_

Under the War Measures Act of 1914. which is still in force and which the prime minister said yes- terday would serve tn any emerg- ency until parliament could be summoned. the government has almost unlimited powers to take whatever steps considered neces- aary.

The prime minister said that to- day's session of council was largely devoted to consideration of "such measures as would require to be put into effect in the event of emergency both in reiatioii to act-

ual defence and in relation trade and industry." Numerous orders in council

would be necessary to effect the regulations and control measures which would ordinarily follow an outbreak of hostilities. such as for censorship, the disposal of aliens and foreign reservists in Canada. shipping and transportation. It is assumed it was to these the Prime Minister referred.

An order in council would also be necessary for the summoning of Parliament. Presumably steps are being taken to have this ready for use at a momentfs notice.
