LONDON, Sept. 21—The sugges- tion that the British West Indies, including Bermuda. should be trons- "ferred by Britain to Canada, was made by Sir Harry Armstrong, lo:- mer British. Consul Csnsrsl st New York, in a letter to the Times today. Sir Harry wrote in connec- tion with rumors concerning the purchase of the British West Indies in liquidat‘ i of Britain's debt t0 the United States. Ile said that in view of the many cases in recent years in which certain British is- lands hitherto under the authority oi the Crown have been trails- ferred to the Dominions, it seemed to him very desirable thst the West Indies be transferred to the Canadian Government.

“There are excellent lines oi steamers between Canadian ports and the west Indies," Sir Harry pointed out. "The natural markets of the West Indies are the United States and Canada, snd trade would undoubtedly rapidly develop while additional capital for devel- opment of the islands would bs obtainable; and the British Gov- ernment would be relieved of con- siderable needless administrative expense. The arrangement would enable Canada to increase her navy to replace the British squad- ron stationed in the West Indies."

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. ill.- More than a dozen cities and towns in portions of Ohio and Indians were sevonly shaken lsst night by subterranean tremors, the most pro- nounced in this section since 1011. whm the entire Ohio-river valley was affected.

Little Dlmlge

Although attended by intense eli- citelncnt among householders, the quake did comparatively little dam- sge and caused no loss of life. It reached its greatest intensity st the village of Anns,.in Wcnier, Ohio. The community of 500 persons was without e. whole chimney today, and every house and building was dsm- aged to some extent. Plastering in the Anna Hifh School was shaken from the walls and the corner stones of the Lutheran church were Jarred loose. Damage was estimated at $10,000.

Happy Ending To One Of Aviati0n’s

Greatest Narra

Lisbon To New York Airmen Snatched From Watery Grave After Being Marooned More Than Six Days Without Food Or Water.

(By Charles Bruce, Can. Press Staff Writer)

HALIFAX, N.S., Sept. 21.—-Sparks from a freightefs wireless gave notice today that a happy ending is written to one of aviation’s greatest stories. Safe aboard the motor ship Beimolrzi are Wily Rody, the German who in- vested his inheritance in a' second hand aero- plane; Christian Johanssen, who was at the controls when the “Esa” set out from Lisbon nine days ago, and Fernando Da Costa Viega, the Portuguese sportsman who went along

for the fun of it.

sari: AND WELL

A week ago tonight New York's metropolitan airports were ablaze with lights to guide _Rody and bi companions to their goal. As hope for their safety congealed to appre- hension, the crew of the “Esa” were riding out the hours on their ﬂoating plane off Newfoundland. As the lights poled into dawn, and anxiety dulled to near forgetfulness with the passingdays, they were still riding. Tonight the three were snug and well, eastward bound between the decks of the Norwegian tramp that picked them off the

face of the Atlantic.

MAROONED SIX DAYS

They alone knew the toil taken of nerve and sinéw by two days of flying and a week rnarooneii on a bit of power" less metal. Only Rody and Johnassen and Viega could tell the story of six days life under the threat of thirst and

Legislation Passed All Stages of B o t h House of Commons and House of Lords.

(By George llsmbleton, Canadian Press Staff Whiter) (Canadian Press Cable)

LONDON, Sept. iii-Parliament today approved the suspension of the gold standard and with the old world ceremonial, the Royal as- sent was given by commission to the enabling bill.

It was a. case of high speed in the emergency, the legislation pass- ing all stages of both the House oi Commons and House oi lords in s. single day. In the Commons, both the Government and opposition front benches were alone on the need for united action. Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, leader of the Labor opposition, while putting certain questions to the Govern- ment, made it clear he had no in- tention oi opposing the bill.

In the House of Lords, Lord Reading, Secretary for Foreign Af- fairs, made o. speech to the main speech by Rt. Hon. Philip Snow- den, Chancellor oi the Exchequer, in the Iawer House. The Lords then adjourned until the bill itself actually arrived from the House of Commons. And in the Commons, Labor hack benchers argued and objected until late in the evening. They challenged the division on a motion for leave to introduce the

From the meagre information svsil- able, If. is deduced here that Body, Jobnsssen and Ds Costs Viega struck aviation’!

Rt. Hon.

The official opposition leader united with the Government, though back‘ bench Laboritcs rais- ed some obstacles.
