May D-Aithcugh certain evils developed in the eco- nomic system during years of de- pression, they were in the nature of "excrescent growths" which in- dicated no fundamental weakness in the existing structure. Hon. C. H. Cahan, Secretary of State, said today in addressing a Montreal Se. vice Club. "For myself," he said, "I am confident that 90 per cent of the birsiness of this country ls con- ducted on an honcstvhasis by men and women whose upright lives arc beyond serious reproach; and that indiscriminate cnnunciation cf pre- vailing business methods is un- meriied and unjust." The extirpation of the so-callcd cnpitllistic system, advocated by the modern disciples of Karl ‘riarx, would mean the destruction o! the credits built up by millions of Can- adians through careful saving and thrift, Mr. Cohan told his large audience. The advice and ctr-operation of those of matured experience should he invited in devising and preswibing remedies for existing evils in tha iccncmic life of Canada, he said.

The planes were on “routine duty" and their ovement played some undisclos- ed part in the ' widely discussed Pacific operations of the fleet. Secrecy surrounded the prepar- ations and departure, but navy authorities could not conceal the visible aspects of the movement. Officers said no progress reports would be given out. Without a hitch the planes climbed from the glassy surface of Perl Harbor at intervals of three or four minutes apart beginning at 1.18 mm. (1.18 p.m., EDT.) The last plane got away at 9.4’! a.m. (8.47 p.m.. EDT.)

Fifbt into the air and leading the flight was the squadron VP-lo, of six long-range planes. which in Jan, 1934, made the United States navy's first mass flight from Oak- land, Calif. to Pearl Harbor, 2,400 miles. Squadrons of varying numbers of smaller planes followed. The planes in the air circled the naval base in an ever-growing swarm until the last one had gained its position. Quickly they disappeared into the west. BRlllllNi SCENE AT "WESTMINSTER Loyal Addresses Read On History Making . Visit-Premier Ben- nett Sails For Home Today. (C. P.
