To Take Control Of I n dus try

(Special to ole Glllrflllll)

TORONTO, March 27—The anoun- coment made yesterday of a new cop- per refinery at ludbury today promp- ted the conjecture by a mining expert in Toronto that a. large copper refin- ery company was seeking to take control of the industry in Cdnada from the American smelting and re- fining co. .

The Sudbury plant was only a start, he said with an objective of

_ up “ “ f l‘ " n control as opposed to American interests. "When the recent Robb budget was announced," said one manufacturer. "and my attention drawn to the spo- cial powers given to the governor and council in the event of price discrim- ination being exercised by American refining interested knew that the big interests had been to Ottawa."

“Then came the announcement of the refineries. I was talking to one of the big mining capitalists some

9d time ago and he said ‘I don't think

there is anything in the renninggamr es for us unless we combine and 80 in both feet: "

- "Apparently they have and I would not be surprised to see a copper re- finery orgdnisation in Canada as large as the American smelting and refining co.“

Sinking ~of the I'm Alone May Lead To . Strained Relations With Canadian And British Governments

ii (Canadian Press)

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Mar. 27.- Offlcial reports of the British con- sulate pt New Orleans on the sink- ing last Friday of the Canadian rum runner, Pm Alonepwere received to- day by the Canadian legation here. It was said at the legation that the only point in the repons which had been studied so far is that of dis- tance of the I'm Alone from shore when first hailed by the United States coastguard cutter Wolcott.

Diplomatic circles said today that there is a possibility that the case may not reach the pomt of dip- lomatic ,_ irritations by the Can- adian government, since it is estab- lished that the I'm Alone was inside

. Uhitfid States jurisdiction. the case

would probably not be presented. In case the ship was proverl to be out- side Unitedbtatos territorial waters it was believed probable that the State Dept. ‘would acknowledge the _same.

The Canadian legal-ion will trans- mit to the British embassy any in- formation iniodayb report which may be desired or thought necessary by the British representatives.

Chairman Britten cf the house naval committee today declared the situation created by the sinking of the I'm Alone wasvery serious. If the United States government is gr» in: to chase vessels 200 miles oii the coast and sink them because _tllcv are suspected of rum running, Brit- ten said. it will be able to chase them through the English Channel and into the North Sea and sink them. Such acts as this lead to war.-.

It would not be surprising if the incident would result in very strain- ed relations between the United States and Canadian and British governments. Britten said that it any government desired to pursue the practice of using force such as was carried out in the I'm Alone affair,‘ it would hSVLHthO largest navy in the world so that it could dictate terms to other governments.

LONDON, Man, 27.-Capt. Randall oi the Canadian vessel. I'm Alone. talked with the Evening News by telephone today and was quoted as saying among other things: "I went into the liquor trade with my eyes open. I knew all the risks. but I never expected a raw deal like this. Its a miracle of luck that I'm here talking to you on the phone-its no fault of the customs men we aren't-all drown- ed." ' .

Capt. Randall said alter being put in irons and taken ashore he de-

day I asked to see him and I know no. ing to get in touch with me but they told rne the consul had tumed us down and would have nothing to do with us-the consul here is just as sore as he can be." the captain said.

Delegation To Visit Moscow

(Special to the Guardian)

MOSCOW, March 27.-An impress- ive trade delegation will arrive in Moscow Thursday _noon composed of B5 prominent British business men representing I50 of the most import- ant ilrms of Britain whose combine’ capltal totals over 31.500.000.000. The delegation will tour Soviet Russia for a month. investigating manufacturing conditions and the chances‘ of doing business there.

‘more is considerable speculation in foreign circles of Moscow‘ today as to the'pos.slble outcome of such an imposing visit. In the first place this ‘ mission is supposed to be absolutely unomcial having no con- nection whatever with the British government and it is a fact that the diplomatic mission hens which has been handling British affairs since the rupture in trade relations two years ago has not even been notified that

In the earlier days of aviation in Canada frequent accidents were. at- tributeble to engine failure, rclllty construction‘ and defective parts.

Last year only one airplane accident _

could be blamed in any way on a defect in machine or engine.
