Alberta E Foces Seed Shortage

CALGARY, Dec. 10 — Alberta races probably the most critical seed grain shortage in its history, G. M. Stewart, chief of the Calgary office of the Dominion Seed Branch, said today. Oats and bar- ley seed supplies were particularly scarce, he said.

Mr. Stewart tstimated the situ- ation was the most serious in his i0 years’ experience and inferior reed would have to be sown ‘in some instances unless good seed was imported from other provinces.

I2 CHARGER WITH MURDER 0F BANK CLERK

Two Members Of Hull Bank Staff Among Those Held In Gun- slaying Holdup.

HULL, Que, Dec. i0.-The Crown today charged ll! persons with tho murder last Wednesday of Armand Nadeau, bank clerk. Bhot in a 816.- 610. holdup, laying the larwlkblan: ket murder charge in Canada since i924 when tho Bank of Hooholaga gang was captured at Montreal.

Nine men and a- woman were ar- raigned late this afternoon after a coroneris jury had delivered a di- rected verdict holding 13 psi-sons responsible for the lil-ycar-old clerk's death. Two man named in the verdict are sought and one is dead, drilled by polics bullets as he resisltcd arrest last Sunday in Mon- trea.

MARTIN ACTUAL KILLER The doad man, Nathan Martin,

Springfield, Mass. butcher who turned to crime a couple of years

ago, was said to have been the trig- ger man who fired three shots into Nadeaub head and body when the youth, native of Verdun, Que, at- tempted to defend his bank's mon-

cy.

The blanket charge named por- sons police claimed actually took par-t in the holdup that brought death to Nadeau, those who plotted its execution, some who had with- drawn from tho enterprise before it was carried out, a woman who drove the kiiier to Montreal, the man who disposed of the gun that killed Nad- cau.

til-tans err/moan

Paul Lafleur. 29-year-old account- ant, left the Hull branch of ths Banque Provincials du Canada about 10:15 a. m., last Wednesday with Nadcau. Their job was to take the money in Lafleurs car to the Ottawa clearing house. Nadsau was fatally wounded in his car. Laflsur was charged with murder.

Jean Beausoieil, 23-year-old led- ser-lrecoer. was alleged w. have known the robbery was to take place. He was charged although he was at work when the slaying took place. Joe Bochcn, 42, of Otiawp, was alleged to have plotted the holdup. Ho was charged.

Conferenc=eFav ors Registration Of All Unemployed

Mining Taxatio-ri-F‘ Relief ‘Camp Problems Also Considered In Private Committee Sessions.

(C. P. By Guardian's special Wire)

OTTAWA, Dec. 10. - Dominion- wids registration of unemployed persons seeking work was tentative- iy approved at this afternoon's ses- sion of the Dominion-Provincial conference commit on unemploy- ment and social services. A sub- committee oi conference technical advisers was appointed, under the chairmanship or Dominion statistic- ian R. H. Coats, to inquire into ways

and means of carrying our this work. . General agreement was also

reached upon the desirability of es- tablishing a system of mining taxa- tion which would fix such taxes at a level for a period tentatively set at five years. This subject was studied at -the first meeting oi the committee on mining and taxation which is headed by Hon. T. A. Cre- rar, Minister of Mines.

' Under the chairmanship of Hon. Norman Mel. Rogers, Minister oi Labor, the committee on unemploy- ment and social services held its ssoonduneeting afternoon and will most again tomorrow afternoon. In addition to tho a,pointment of a ...." committee on the registration of willing workers, the committee want into the question of relief camp projects and division of relief coats.

Major General a. o. Ashtori, chief of the geenral staff, Department oi National Defence, was called in to address the committee on relief camps which are to be transferred from the Jurisdiction of that depart- ment to labor. These camps, main- tained for transient unemployed men, were the subject of consider- abla discussions during the past year, resulting from some discontent that arose among those who lived in them last summer.

Views were expressed by the pro- vincial delegatas in the committee as to the best methods to deal with the transient unemployed, and on the question of reliei camp policy. A special committee is now travel- ling through Canada. after s. visit to some of the civilian conservation corps camps in the United States. studying at first hand the record of this form of unemployment reicf.

All provinces were represented on tho unempl ynreht committee and Mr. Rogers was supported for the Dominion, by Hon. Ian MacKenaie, Minister oi National Defence.

.In the mining committee the dis- cussion was general on the incid- ence of taxation as it affects the mining industry in all its phases, income, depletion allowances. duties on machinery and promotion. It was felt, a spokesman said, that stability in mining taxation over a number of years, was most desirable at the present time and would ac- complish a great deal in stimulating development in the industry.

‘The whole field of mining taxa- tion as it aflecis the revenues of tho Dominion and provinces was ex- plained from the standpoint of ar- riving at policies under which a greater erii. of prosperity and em- ployment iu the mining industry could bo affected," the official state- ment reported. "While very definite

was made in the discus- sions the committee did not arrive at any conclusions and will continue

It was understood hcrc the So- viet Union and ltumaniis, two of Italy's chief sources of oil supply. have decided they will join the orn-

Unlted Stsios Cougrrsa. It was oonaidared, however, that Congress would take no action until the Inaguo of Nations sanctions body had voted on tbs proposal, thus creating an fmpasfl. '

If Emperor Hallo Selassie of Ethiopia refused to accept the Anglo-lrcncnpeace plan (as ho was reported in London to have done), It was said by usually well- iniormcd persons here that Britain and Franco nevertheless would not urge additional sanctions Mil-inst Rome on the ground the proposed plan was fair to Ethiopia.

Britain Opposes Japan ’s Demand For Naval Parity

(By Charles Nutter, Associated mus Staff Writer) (s. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. Dec. 10—Great Brit- ain today reafllrmcd her opposition at the International Naval Confer- ence t0 Japanese demands for par- ity with the British and United States navies but the question oi total tonnages was placed on the program as the first order of bus- iness.

This issue provided one of the major obstacles of the conference. It contains Japan's demand for naval Equality and the scrapping of the 5-5-3 ratio system.

Qirck acceptance of Japan's m- quest for immediate discussion of the tonnage issue left her dele- gates momentarily nonplussed. Thev had expected the British to chal- l' ge their views in an effort tem- porarily to sldetrack the grave is- sue.

Instead, however, today's session. the first business one, was reported to be notably decorous and busin- ass-like.

Tragedy Overtakes Plane On Last Leg 0f Brussels To Lon- don Flight.

(C. P. Cabla)

TATSFIELD, Kent, England, Dec. i0.-Eleven persona war-g Iulgfl int; today, in the worst airyans disaster that has occurred on English soil when a Belgian ‘ " crashed in a Kent Valley near here.

Its wings coated with ice, the liner flew low over the village of Tatsfleld. A wing tiip touched a tree on the summit of Tlisfe Hill. The pilot made s. gallant effort to gain height but the machine wobbled, , then fell. The engine ceased, w. ‘parently switched of’! in a. last. minute effort by the pilot to prevent a. fire in the crash.

INSTANTLY KILLED

A moment later the plane, cnroutc from Brussels to London, lay in the valley, a mass of crumpled fabric l and twisted steel. All its occupants —seven passengers and a crew of four-were killed instantly. The plane had battled rain and a high wind as it crossed the English channel.

All the 11 bodies were recovered. They were terribly mutilated. Search was handicapped by a dense fog.

Two of the dead were Britons, Sir John Cordon. 43. one of Britain's leading experts on airplane engines, and G. V. Somny of Hanwell, Mid- dlesex.

The plane was. a three-engined machine of Italian make. It was operated by the Sabcria Airline, a Belgian concern.
