The Reconstruction Party speak- ers addrested meetings in Rustico and Milton last night. The hall in Milton was about three-quarters full with a smaller number at Rustico. Mr. John Gallant presid- ed at Rustico and Mr. Coies at Milton.

Mr. Bernard Hughes. the Recon- struction candidate. and Messrs Harry Richardson. Wellington Dix- on. and R. E. Connolly addressed the Rustico audience. In addition to the above named speakers Mr. Robert Duvar spoke at Milton.

Mr. Richardson

Mr. Harry Richardson who was the first speaker referred among other things to criticism of Mr. Stevens claiming he was sincere in the establishment of his party. He told how the Stevens’ party came to be formed and then went on to say that Stevens was the only one who made any promise to the youth of Canada. Any government that goes into power and does noth- ing for the young people is wrong and cannot succeed.

In the matter of tariffs, he claimed that seven million people in Canada. the agrlculturists, fish- ermen. and lumbermen. were being exploited to help three million in- dustrialists. It has been the placing the desires of a. few ahead of" the interests of the many.

So f r as the laborers are con- cerned Canada has never enjoyed s. zeal era. of prosperity. he claimed.

Mr. Dixon

Mr. Wellington Dixon spoke as at previous meetings on the theory of economics. The theory and prac- tice of banking were also discussed by the speaker.

Mr. H. H. Stevens is not tied to financial interest he said. He dealt also with what he claimed were the causes leading up to the de- presslon. Machinery, when it was introduced in 1830 in England caused a depression and a. rebel.- lion, but England came out of it all right because there was a. great market at that time in other coun- tries of the world. Now the pur- chasing power of tbe people has been so reduced that "goods cannot be purchased nearly so. rapidly as they can be manufactured.

“If there was another continent to develop it would help the depres- sion for c. few years, or what may be likely a way of destroying ex- oess goods will be found by war and perhaps end by destroying our present civilization, the speaker claimed.

s

Mr. Council)

Mr. R. E. Connolly in his address asked how many had hope for the future, hope for prosperity. and if they were idle for profitable em- ployment. Those things are the "birthrights of the people of the country, he declared. but govern- ments for the past 68 years have been fooling the people. Dealing with price spreads, he claimed, he sold a carcass of pork in Charlotte- town for ‘l 1-2 cmts a pound and the same clay bought bacon in a store in town for 43 cents a. pound. It was a case of i2 million people being bullied by a few, he claimed. Answering a question How going to remedy the spread of price, the speaker relied that H. H. Stevens says he will bring about reforms. the constitution of Can- ada giving enough power to enable laws to be passed to combat those men.

Mr. Hughes

Mr. Bernardjiughes in his ad- dress first explained the Recon- structlon Party platform.

The party realizes that the pros- pe.ity or Canada depends upon the ability to absorb into useful and gainful employment the youth, and the employment of thoss at pres- ent without work. The Reconstruc- tion party has made provision to reduce unemployment to the extent of B0 per cent during the first year in office if elected, he claimed.

Debts will be reduced. and re- funded at lower interest rates. The party also proposes to sn- gage in ,the construction of useful public works such w, paved roads. He also referred to proposed legis- lation which would provide mini- mum wages and limits the hours ot employment. It will among other things increase the purchasing pow- er of the people.

The Reconstruction party be- lieves it can psy on the debt of Canada in 30 yea-rs and will there- by greatly reduce the taxes of the people. wss another ststunent Mr. Do made in dealing with the plat emu.

Mir. ILPIIIC after commending those present on their interest in Dolitim. said Mr. McLum and Mr. Myers were afraid to face the

Mr. Lara-bee compared unerrrploy- ment under Mr. King grid m. 3m. nett. The unemployment cam, established by the government are fostering a spirit of Communism. A good fresh dairy cow could be sold for $80.00 or $100.00 in I980, to- day that cow would bring only $30.00 and some have been sold for as low as $10.00. Mr. Iarsbee said that Mr. Myers had promised that every man over seventy would re. ceive an old age pension of $20.00 per month the whole cost of which would be paid by the Federal gov- ernment. He paid u tribute to Messrs. LePage and MscPhee whom he believed to be the two men most fitted to represent the district in the local House.

Mr. Sinclair raid he wouldn't go B8 far as Mr. Iarabes in criticizing Mr. McLure and Mr. Myers. Ho realized they had both Bot some- thing T01‘ the Province. Mr. Mc- Lure is a director in the lL1&itlon Association and he got them $35,000. Mr. Myers got a good job for his son.

mental

lnoe for the DWPOEQ of influencing an election as was going on at ths Present time. He challenged anyone to deny this statement. "The Ben- nett govcrnment is wholly re- sponsible for the less of the Cuban market. and they know it." The Bennett administration has in- creased the ‘debt of Canada 0405 for every day it has been in power. A 4°11" Wd-IY is only worth 95 cents as compared with 100 cent; under Mr. King due to the sales tax.

Mr. LePage mentioned the favor- able comments made by papers in the Western Provinces on the spec- ial session. He said when they came into office they were faced with an overdraft of $509000, and a. great deal of money had to be found to pay for the roads built under the Macmillan government. A part of the authorization io borrow $3,- 000000 will be used to pay off a. $500000 bond dssus due next year. He went on to assure the people that they"were not adoptingflany form of government control. The administration of the low was simply taken out of the hands of the commission and given to the Attorney General. He predicted that both Stevens candidates would lose their deposits. He sold that he and other members of the g ernment were inspecting Falcon Hog- pital when an old lady poked her hesd out of the door and stated "Hurrah for Bennett". That was the only time he heard anyone sticking" up for Bennett.

Mr. MacPhee, the last speaker, explained that the $10.00 received by the members for the special ses- siOn was to be deducted from the sessionsl indemnity they will re- ceive next Ma-rch. Turning to Do- minion politics Mr. MaaPhse sold the Bennett policies had very much against them. I-Ie said the high tar- lff policy was like burning the candle at both ends. Mr. MacPhee said he could go over the country and pick out dozens and demons of old ladies who could go up to Ot- tawa and get more for this prov- ince than the present representa- tives.

Warns Farmers I Re Speculative ' . Prices

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON." warning to farmers against specu- lative prices caused by talk of war came from Secretary of Agriculture Wallace ss ho noted l- lfour-oent rise in the wheat mar-

et.

The Secretary, holding a list of

closing market tations, spoke thoughtfully at a press conference

as he recalled disastrous farm product price speculations 00 years ago.

“It might be well." the Secre- tary mused, "for the farmer to think of what happens w prices in times of war and in times wrxn there are threats of war. They might consider tbs in- evitabfe distortion of judgment

ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 3—Nearly 350.000 Ethiopian fightorr were JQPOXNQ on the march tonight, some toward the Italian colonial frontier, in anticipation o! a gen- eral mobilisation tomorrow.

Native drums will call 10,000,000 men, women and boys into service in the face of a threatened war with Italy.

Emperor Hails Selassie decided upon the mobilisation, which he will proclaim from the balcony of the Imperial Palace, after dis- patching s, protest to Geneva charging Italy has already invad- ed his kingdom with 50.000 troops.

One hundred thousand Ethiop- ians werc reported marching from Gondsr gaward the Eritrean fron- tier, where Italyds expected to strike. This army was followed by 60,000 warriors from four prov- lnoes led by Ras Mulugeta, Min- ister of War. Another 80,000 troops from Jima and Wallaga provinces were said to be on their way to Addis Ababa to protect the capital.

Clash Reported

(The Addls Ababa correspon- dent of the Paris Soir reported fighting between Italian and Eth- iopian troops had already started in the Mussa All-Easterh-sec- tion of Ethiopia and that there have been casualties).

Although previous Ethiopian reports said none of the country's troops was in that vicinty, the newspaper asserted three columns of advancing Italian troops, to- talling 25.000 men, fought with irregular Dan kil tribesmen. The Italians have not yet met Ethiop- ian regulars, the report said.)

In the traditional Ethiopian fashion, ‘drums will call the war- riors to arms. Mobilization orders are already in the hands of prov- incial governors.

Before making the decision, the King conferred at length today with his advisers. Some officials here expressed belief war may break out even before the arrival of Italian consular agents from the interior. They have bun called in for safely.

‘Ilnder Armed Guard

The consul at Aduws. was ar-

rested by Ethiopian officials when

he attempted to cross the border into-Eritrea, but was later releas- here under armed Ethiopian guard.

Ethiopia's protest to the league charged, Italians had entered Aussa Province, in a triangular portion of Ethiopia in the region of Mount Mussa Ali.

The text of the protest as re- ceived at Geneva follows:

("We inform you for communic- ation to the Council and the state members that Italian troops have violated the Ethiopian frontier in the region south of Mount Mmssa Ali, in the Province of Aussa, be- tween that mountain and the frontier of Ethiopia and French Somaliland and have established themselves in Ethiopian territory preparing a base for extensive at- tack

("Ths proximity of the sea to this region and its easy access through the territory of French Somaliiand make it pcmible with the Council either to send ob- servers or to obtain confirmation of this violation of Ethiopian tor- ritory through the Government of French Soma‘ils.nd.")

Invasion Denied

Italians were reported hem to have sent in some 50.000 native Eritrean troops and motor trucks. tanks and airplanes. |

(In Rome official circles the re- ported invasion was denied.)

The Ethiopian Government said the reported invasion came to its attention through French sources in French Somaliland. ‘

Mount Mussa Ali, when the It- alians are said to have moved, is 6.000 feet high and commands a great section of the Ethiopian des- ert. The Government here said the Italians had completed six roads from Eritrea to these bases.

Wild Enthusiasm

A wave of wild enthusiasm and excitement swept through Italy as the populace was called out with- out warning in the long-awaited national mobilization. ~

Mussolini said he did not be lisve the “resl" French or British people ever would execute milit- ary sanctions. He struck out at the League of Nations.

The Government protected the British embassy with 300 police and helmeted soldiers. 'I‘hey form- ed three linss about the building and grounds. ,

The “mobilizatioi-i" came with sirens. bells and drums at 3:30 p. m. and ended at 7:15, a few min- utes after Mussolini finished his 15-minute message" to his peo-

pie.

Immediately afterward. unoffic- lai observations predicted the It- alian tffensive upon Ethiopia would begin between Oct. 5 and l0 —-nrovided rains thers ended.

Flock in Designated Points

Home, like other Italian cities. became one of strange sights when the Premier's calls came. As the sirens sounded, hundreds of thousands of men and many women walked out of their offices and homes. All knew exactly to what point they should go. from some windows women waved and men put out the white, red and green flags of Italy. An hour later striding youths in long black columns appeared with huge pic- tures of Ii Duce. Women tossed flowers at them.

The crowd reflected what Muss- olini said later: "A solemn hour is about to strike in the history of the fatherlsnd.”

Ii Duce said of the Italian peo- ple "there is attempted to com- mit against them the blackest of injustices, that of withholdilll from them a little soil under the sun."

Italy, he said, "has been patient for 40 years" with Ethiopia and "that is enough."

Talks Sanctions

Of the League, he asserted, "in- stead of recognizing the just rights of Italy, they dare talk sanctions."

“To sanctions of an economic character. we shall respond with the spirit of discipline, with sob- riety, and with sacrifices. To measures of a military order, we shall respond with measures of l military order. To acts of war, we shsll respond with acts of war."
