' (By Louis P.

fault. J

And if British Prime Minister Chamberlain and French Premier Chnuicmps do mt sec the complete mt with all his strong words‘, it also will not be Gocrlngb fault since the speech later was officially released verbatim.

TIIUNDEBS WARNING

Raising his voice to a high Ditch and pronouncing every word will: studied emphasis, the Air Minister thundered to an dudience oompoesd largely of aviators:

“And so, my comrades. we have all helped lay the founrdaltlonx of that force which no longer Permits Germany to be exposed to impo- tengc and violation of her notional

ts.

"And if the Ifirehwr (Chancellor Hiller) in his Rciohstaz speech (of Feb. 20) presented the proud record of achievement and used those proud words that we no longer can tolerate the maltreatment ‘with im- pull ty of 10.001000 Germans on our borders. then you members of the a.r force kncwylhst if nced b? you must g0 to the lim‘. to make good these prords of the Fuehrer."

NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y, March l—-A second polo-written on a cheap "dial" typewriter commonly sold as toys for children-was dis- closed today as the parents of the 10-year-old Peter Levine, missing sutce last ‘Thursday, frantically {vaulted to contact The boy's abduc-

rs.

The note directed Peter's father,

Iurray Levine, New York lawyer. to carry out a fantastic method of signifying his wllllness to negotiate for the boy's return. It instructed the father or an emissary to go to a. Third Avenue elevated-train track m Manhattan and mark a pillar at a designated spot with

green chalk.

Presumably a member of the “snatclfl gang or the kidnapper himself would be on the watch and uoukl recognize the father or emis- sary, thus being nmured the pay- off negotiations could proceed n good faith.

New Measure Ignores: Highway Trafficl And Limits Ship-' ping Control.

(YITA A, March l-The House of Commons today gave first read- ing to the Government l convert the Conrmlwsloners of Canada into the Board of Transport Conrmissioners and extend its jurisdiction to in- clude carriage of passengers and freight by water and air.

There was no debate when Transport Minister Howe moved the preliminary resolution and in- trmluced the blli.

Unlike the similar measure in- troduced in the Senate last year and defeated, today's bill does not deal with highway traffic. nor does 1Y1 HD1113’ to bulk cargoes on the Great Lake: or slipping wholly confined either to the Atlantic sea board.

These changes from last car's bill are expected to mee the ztrcrluous objections that came

from nil ports of Canada when the Senate measure was in committee.

Mr. Howe sold the highways control clause was dropped be- cause of the limited jurlsd ctlon of

Squires Flays N. B. Government

(By The Canadian Press) FEEDER! , March 1—A1- leged lack of action by the Gov- ernment in dealing with the edu- catlonal problms of the province was strongly criticized by Opposi- tion Leader F. C. Squires as he opened the debate on the address in reply t0 the speech from the throne in the New Brunswick Leg- islature today.

Speaking for an hour and three quarters, he attacked the admin- istration from many angles. He condemned a "dilatory reruns-out program" the department of education. l-le asserted that the“! had actually been a deficit in the [u]; nun year of $189,000 instead of the Government announced sur- plug of $29,000 on current account and that if the Government had nowreneged" on sinking fund pro- vision the real deficit would have been more than 8646.000-

l, Improved Economic

Conditions Cited In l Speech From The Throne.

HALIFAX, March 1—llmproved economic conditions in Nova Sco- ilu were reported in the speech from the throne today as Lleut. Governor Robert Irwin opened the

, province's 18th Legislative Assem- bly since Confederation. T "Tire general economic condi- ‘. tions throughout the province dur- l iug the your‘ have, on the whole, ‘ been very satisfactory. Few, if any, parts of ‘the Dominion reveal ‘ more substantial improvement than l does this province," the House was

told.

Following closely on the reading of the speech and addresses of the mover" and sccondcr in reply 23 bills were introduced, believed to constitute a. record for the open- mg (lay. Introduction of seyeralof the bills was forecast in the speech which mentioned legislation to amend the Education Act, Motor Vehicle Act, the Gasoline Tux Act and the Trades Union Act would be considered.

lilinlng Production

Cool production in the rovince during 1937 had exceeded ,000,000 tons with output of gypsum, gold and salt bringing the tots,_l value of Nova 5collab mineral products to $3.000.000 for the year.

A high production level ln the Sydney steel mills and "substan- tial increases in wages and salar- ies" were n . ‘

Value of fish production was slightly greater than that of i936", although the condition of this in- I dustry still leaves much to be de- , sired". Appointment of a provin- lclul director" 0f fisheries, as had been suggested in the province's submission to the Rowell Commis- sion would result in “extremely valuable work."

Accustomcd Ceremony

Accustomed ceremony marked the opening of the legislature. A solute boomed from Citadel Hill as Lleut. Governor Irwin opened the House for the first time since his ap intmcnt last May. Brightly un formed officers added color to the sombre walls of old Province House.
