LONDON, July l1.-What amounts to a boycott against Russian im- ported goods exists extensively throughout Britain, it was revealed today. Many leading firms cf wholesalers and retailers are refus- ing to handle Russ! l goods on the ground that they are a product of slave labor or dumped here tc ruin the market.

The biggest purchasers of Russian goods are the co-operative societies who are identified with the Labor Government andwhcse leading fig- ureis Rt. Hon. A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty. As- sociations like the Civil Service supply, and the educational supply sell no Russian goods, while leading dairy and food stores like the 15X- press Dairy and Masons Interna- tional tea smres and United Dairies and Home and Colonial stores ‘have adopted an anti-Soviet policy. The Pullman Car Company will also not sell Russian products and from var- ious towns and provinces come re- ports of large stores Joining in the boycott. a

DRANDEMEN PARADE YESTERDAY

In spite of the lnclemenc, of the weather yesterday morning. a large nu ‘ of membe u of the Loyal Orange Lodge took part in the an- nual church parade. Headed by the Salvation Army Band the parade use the Orange Hail on Richmond Street shortly before il o'clock, and proceeded to the Baptist Church via. Richmond Street and Prince Street. Rev. A. C. Vincent preach- ed m instructive sermon approp- riots to the occasion. The parade returned in the Hall by way of Prince. Iiitlrncy, Great George, Grafton, Market, and Richmond Streets.

MUCH TO REMEMBER!

The impressive ceremony of bless- ‘ng the Church took place at 10.30

It is now obvious to the electors, from the nature of the Liberal press propaganda, that the Lea Govern- ment has no stomach to fight the provincial cam- paign on provincial issues. For that reason it is ap- pealing to the people to “remember” everything under the sun but its own record of incompeteincy, extrav- agance, and broken election promises-a record which was well summed up by Mr. Bruce Butler, ex-member of the Lea Government, when he publ’ ly charged it with having “floated every» principle of. democracy.”

The electors, we believe, have a much better mem- ory than the Ima Government, or its apologist the de- feated Liberal federal candidate, seem to imagine. Here are some of the things they are not likely to forget when they poll their votes on August 6:

That when the Lea Government assumed office it did so on a platform of (among other things) econ- omy and a general reduction in taxation. That shortly after the election the Patriot newspaper congratulated the Government on taking office - "under peculiarly favorable circumstances" for carrying out its pledges. That there was found in the treasury a substantial surplus of $70,697 augmented, shortly afterwards, by the first annual interim subsidy payment of $125,000 secured by the outgoing Stewart administration under the terms of the Duncan" report.

That in less than four months, according to the Public Accounts. submitted at the 1929 session of the Legislature, the Lea. Government had turned the Stewart Government surplus into a. deficit of $159,- 129.21; in other words, it had gouebehind to the ex- tent of $229,826.39, and this apart from the highway ac- count in connection with which $60,000 was borrowed in November, 1927.

RAKE’S PROGRESS CONTINUES

not need to be reminded that the Lea Government's first act, at the 1929 session, was to borrow $100,000 forthe unauthorized expenditure incurred by the Minister of Public Works when he ordered this amount of road machinery by telephone from agents outside the Province. That its next act was to borrow $300,000 for highway work and that this sum would have been increased to $500,000 but for the protests of the Opposition.

The electors will

That the Government then violated its promise of a general reduction of taxation by boosting the gaso- line tux from three to five cents a gallon (subsequently raising if to six cents by order-in-council), and passed legislation cuddling additional expense on the Province to provide for the employment of twenty-five Liberal campaign henchmen as road superintendents.

That at the end of 1928, despite greatly increased

revenue from increased tax arrears over 1927

of $88,237 and

derived from the interim subsidy payment,___

Denmark‘ And No rway May Sever Relations

(Special to The Guardian)

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 11. -A serious situation threatening a possible break in relations between Denmark and Norway was feared today over a dispute on ownership of a. section of Greenland.

July 12—-'I‘he German Cabinet, in an all day session to- day, was considering the possibility of a sweeping decree to stave off financial disasters, in which it was expected the Government would take over complete control of for- eign exchange and also assume conunand of some of the country's most important banks.
