Prorogation Took Place

Shortly After Noon,

Yesterday Following Which His Majesty Signed the Proclama_ fion Dissolving Par- liament.

(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON, May. l0——Tho British parliament was prorogued shortly after noon today, following reading by the Lord Chancellor of the King's speech from the throne. King George signed the proclamation dtsnlvlng parliament, immediately after word that the House of Commons had been

prorogued had been received over an: mllltgry matters. Our Island sol-i menu shoum not be cmcemi md

open telephone from parliament. The proceedings occupied only a few minutes.

The dissolution was preliminary to holding of the general elections May 3U. and for most of the mem- bers of the Commons ended a full five year term in the English legis- iativa body. Inasmuch as it was con- stitutionally impossible to dissolve the parliament until after prerogat- lon, arrangements were made where- by Sir Maurice Haiikey. clerk of the Privy Council, could rush from Dog- nor. where the King is recuperating from his long'lllness, hack to Lon-

don. with the signed proclamation oi‘ I

dissolution. The Lord Cimncellor then announced in the House of

Lords that parliament was prorogu-.

ed until May 24. The King's speech touched on all

political matters but more particul- t

arly on ihs recent preparatory dis- armament conference at Geneva. The Privy Council at Bocnor was the first which the king had held aince the historic meeting at Buckingham Palace during the early days of His Majesty's illness, when he appointed

councillors of state to act for him.

with the dissolution of parliament the campaign for the general elect- ion wlil now enter on its most active ﬂags. On Mav 20th the nominations will close and on May 30 Great Bri- tain will go to the polls to elect a

new gowrnment.

Strong Resolution Night ’s Meeting Removal Of Lo

At a meeting of the Retail Mer-

chants’ Association and citizens held j last night, a strongly worded resolu- ’ tion against the transference of the l annual militia camp, customarily

I held in this city, t0 Aldershot, N.S.. Was

ance of Empire shopping week, which begins on May 25th was brought to the notice of the meeting by Major T. h. MacNutt, and appropriate ac- tion taken. It was also decided to hold the customary summer half holidays on Wednesdays during July and August, beginning the first. Wed- nesday in July.

The President, Mr. W. A. Stewart. occupied the chair, and opened the meeting. ‘

There was an interesting discus- sion on the main question under consideration, namely. the removal of the militia camp to Aldersilog for training this season.

.

Condemns Proposal

Mr. George E. Hughes said that the citizens and people were much sur- prised at the decision of the Coun- cil of the Board of Trade, in voting down a resolution protesting against the camp going to Alder-shot. This camp means an expenditure of $15,000 per year in the province. and 1t looks as though we would ’loaa ‘this in future. and also , our identity in a military sense. f Citizens could not stand by and l aeo this injustice brought about. f Parents came into the city to see i their sons at drill and in training. 1f I the camp is removed, it will lessen i the interest of the people in,

A prominent military man had said that the argument that the men would receive better training. was no usumbﬂt- ll l“-

A second argument was that the range was out of condition. Even if it were, this was a matter to be fem- cdicd by the Department. of Militia at Ottawa.

Then thci-c is the ci-aument thli

they would not have enough ofllccrl at headquarters to attend both camlil which were being held at once. But why could they not hold our camp later? ‘

our strong protest against the pro- posed arrangemcnt to have our pro- vincial mllitla hold their annual camp in the province of Nova Scotti. We consider this a moat, unfair dis- crimlnation against this province.

We urgently request that the pro- posed arrangements be cancelled at. once, and that. the annual camp take plaoc here, as in former years. Fill‘- ther resolved that a copy of this re- solution be forwarded to the Honour- able Minister of Militia and Defence. and to our Federal Representatives and Senators, urging that immediate a‘ ‘clan be taken.

Mr. S. A. MacDonald believed that Mr. Hughes had covered the ground fully. He was surprised that there were any citizens who would sup- port the project of removing the camp. The question of our range be- ing in order was a matter which was up to the Militia Department.

If we stand back, and do not. en- ter a protest we will Gradually ﬁnd ourselves in this sltuation- that grants for all our, annual events, such as exhibitions will be taken away and given to other provinces.

It is quite a sight to see our soi- diera on parade. Last year the Bun- day parade was vﬂtneased by thou- sands of people from outside the city. It ia a social cvent in the life of the community. Then was no reason. ha felt, why the arrange-

itie military camp held herc ls in the past. The right of the citizens should be maintained. He had much gﬁlcsslire in second! ig the rasnlutlon.

Mr. W. Chester S. Mc-Liiro, M. L. A. agreed with the mover and scconder cf the resolution that the question was a most important one. As citi- zens of the province we have a f!!!“ go enter a protest on this occasion. and we should be very firm and un-

Stevens, Conservative, Vancouver- Centre. ‘rho attention of the premier had been drawn by Mr. Stevens to a Canadian Press cable from Paris, which declared that "the absence oi direct representation for the domin- lons a‘. the present conference is con- sidered by thc British delegation as all the greater reason for not. yield- ing on the question of the domlnierra share of German reparations.

Island Producers Advised To Dis- , count Depression ‘Rumors And Go‘ EasyDuringNexf Few Days.

Interviewed by The Guardian yes- terday with respect to the potato alt- iiation, a number of prominent local shippers stated emphatically that there was no justlﬁcatlon for tho pessimism expressed recently in the clean-up of the small quantity of po- tatoes atill on the growers‘ hands in Prince likiward Island. While some shippers did not care to express a definite opinion as to the outcome. others declared that there was as good an opportunity for the market to advance during the next couple of weeks as there was for it. to go to pieces, and that the surest way of bringing about demorallzation was to i rash the few potatoes to market within the next two or three days.

This was the opinion expressed by Messrs. J. Lester Douglas, Frank Clarke of Clarke Ems, and Mr. li/LG. McNecly, Provincial manager of the Harris Abattoir Company, Ltd. They were ﬁrmly convinced that if the po- tatoes remaining are marketed in an‘ orderly fashion and not crowded into consuming markets except as order- ed, not only would present prices b! maintained but there was a good chance to realize even better prices before the close of the season. These firms stated that they were receiving orders regularly but that consider- able potatoes were going into con- _ suming markets not carefully graded , and often on consignment. mesa potatoes were‘ breaking down the market and making the dealers at these polnu afraid to buy for ship- _ ment for fear that by the time their purchases arrived they would be up against a competition of these con- signed ears which would be sold for whatever they would bring on their arrival, with no respect whatever to the cost of the product.
