' The governor general, who has been in residence at the citadel, Quebec, will be in Ottawa tomor- row to affix his signature to the proclamation which ends the 1'lth parliament since Confederation — just four days before it would have passed out by lapse of time. No Announcements Prime Minister R. B. Bennett stated tonight that he would hold all orders awaiting the governor's signature until His Excellency ar- rives tomorrow, and there were no announcements to be made at the moment. It was believed the seven Senate vacancies had been largely illled as well as the vacant deputy ministerial posts and the ‘appoint- ments to the Canadian Wheat Board. Some ministerial appointments may be also announced tomorrow. Selection of W. G. Ernst. member for Queens-Lunenburg, for the fisheries portfolio has been con- sidered certain for some time. It is also known that Mr. Bennett has fixed u-pon a. well-known Ontario lawyer for his new Minister of Justice to succeed Hon. l-Iuzh Guthrie who was yesterday appoint- ed chairman of the Board-of Rail- way Commissioners. Both these new ministers may be named tomorrow, and one or two mo:e cabinet ap- pointments may be announced. Although the present government was formed on August ‘l, 1930, the 17th parliament was not forms‘iy created by statute until Aug. 18. 1930. and would have reached the end of its five years of legal ex- istence on Sunday next. speculate on Election Dale Selection of Sept. 30 for polling in the general election was con- sidered likely tonight. but not cer- tain. Otherwise it would likely be Sept. 23 or Oct. 14. It must be Monday and Oct. 'i is a religious holiday for the Jewish'peop‘e which would render it unlikely to be chos- en as a general election date. Mr. Bennett held a long confer- ence with J. Iihrii Lawson. Do- minion organizer for the Conserva- tive party today. and with ad- vertising agents called in by the organization. It is understood that detailed arrangements have been completed giving the party a half hour on a Canadian Radio Com- mission national network four nights a week beginning Monday next and opening Aug. 27.

A Liberal Government would work with Mr. Baldwin in free- ing the channels oi Empire trade and by so doing aid in freeing the channels of world trade, said Mr- King. If anyone doubted his abil- ity to secure Mr. Baldwin's co- operation they should look at the record of his term of office. Mr. Baldwin had once said.‘ speaking in Toronto: ‘I defy any- one to find two statesmen who pull together better for the good of the Empire than Mr- King and myself.‘ Election Delay The long delay in holding tho election had its part in hindering recovery from the depression. Mr. King said. With the election com- ing late in the year a new Gov- ernment would have no oppor- tunlty to effect beneficial chances before the winter. The electlin should have been held a year or two years ago but “in his auto- cratic disregard for the people" Mr- Bennett had hung on to office un- til the last minute when it was apparent his Government had lost the support of the country. A new Liberal Government “would be handicapped from the start" by the delay in the election he continued. The depression would thus be needlessly prolong- ed. No businessman would make commitments until the ‘election was over and the period of im- ortainty which accompanied elec- tions. even if in normal times, was being needlessly prolonged at a time when its effects were most injurious. "Mr. Bennett is . bbing the people of the light of self-govern- ment and robbing them in no un- certain manner." he asserted. Canada should have had a treaty with the United States two years ago, Mr. King said. The United States Government was anxious to trade with countrlx which would permit reciprocal trade. Other countries were getting into the American market ahead of Canada because of the Bennett Government's policies and the de- lay in the election.‘ "The most autocratic Tory Gov- ernment this country has ever had in office," was the way Mr. King described tha Bennett Gov- ernment. ' Quite Simple Great economic questions were really very iiimpla if one s opped to consider them, aaid Mr. King. They reached right into the 1M1!- ily and the house- “We hear a lot of the forgotten man" ha said. "I think we should bear more oi ‘the forgotten fam- il ." ‘lifr. King warned against third parties.

Leader Now A Convert To Baldwin Policy serve the public "or to hold a club nver hzs followers in the House of his bidding.’ The home market, said Mr. King was not necessarily a place where goods were sold but a place where purchasing power was money coming into for goods which were sent out. By putting up tariffs and restricting external trade the Conservative coming into Canada and so had injured the home market as well as the foreign markets, Mr._f<ing declared- Trsde Exchange A country could not trade all one way. Them had to be ex- change. Ships which carrled gomis out of Canada had to carry goods irito Canada on the return trip. The high tariff policy had in- jured Canada and the first indus- try affected was shipping. Ships were tied up in harbors because another market had been lost be- there were no goods being carried. The railways next felt the pinch. Wholesale and retail trade were affected. All this threw men out of work. The unemployment prob- lem today was due to the restric- tion oi trade. "Itls all nonsense to say that our markets were lostbecause of the tariffs of other countries," said Mf- King. Only within the last few weeks cause the Government proposed to fight other countries instead cf trying to promote goodwill. That market was in Japan and Canad- ian lumbermen. wheat growers and flour mills were suffering as a result. . Mr. King said the people should not be misled in the election by debates on any particular law, such as the Marketing Act or by local issues They had to take a political party all in all cr not at all. They had to take all the acts and policies of the Bennett Gov- ernment or none of them- They had to take its autocracy and its tendency to dictatorship. Simil- arly they had to take the Liberals all together and they could rely upon it a Liberal Government would do nothing to injure the people as a whole or any section. .___?.___.

Island Two hundred and twenty-five connections of the Phillips family on Prince Edward Island met at Trout River on Mr. Ernest Ellis’ shore last Wednesday, August 7th, in a happy family reunion. It had been the custom of the descendants of Thomas H. Phillipa, Ellerslie, to hold an annual fam- ily reunion. but this year the in- vitation was extended to all the descendants from the original Phillips fflmlll! on Prince Edward Island, with a very happy result. Mr. Sanford Phillips of O'Leary was appointed chairman and after the guests were all gathered io- gether Mr. Phillips gave an inter- ifasxg sketch of the history of the a . Landeff at Port Hill One hundred and three years ago Samuel Phillips with his wife and family of four children landed, with a number of other immi- grants from Devonshire. at Port Hill, Samuel Phillips war a brass fin- lsher by trade and came from Barnstable, in Devon. His wife was Mary Ann Greensled. Their child- ren were Robert, aged ‘l years; Hannah, a year or two younger. and the twins, William and James. about two years old. The twins were so much alike that their mother had to have a string of beads cf different colours round their necks to distinguish them. Henry was born after the family came to the Island. The house where Henry first saw the light of day, has recently been torn clown. The house was quite ‘near the landing place at Port Hill and the property is now owned by William Dennis. The landing is known as Senator Yeo‘s Wharf. The name of the sailing vessel that brought the Phillips family is not known by the present generation, but they have been told. that it took them 48 days to make the voyage. Samuel Phillips started to make a home for himself and his little family upon his arrival on the Is- land. It. was a great blow to his dear wife and helpmate when. through an injury received while‘ in the woods cutting timber. he died less than three years after they landed. According to tradition he was the first to be buried in the Ang- lican Cemete y at Port Hill. According to the records Thomas I-I. Phillips was the first to be bap- tized in Port Hill Church. After old Samuel's death the famllv were given out to kind neighbours who brought them up. Room was reared by the late Mr. Hughes of Freeland. Lot 11. on the place ricw owned bv Henry Bryan, James. one of the twins. was reared bv a MacDonald of West Cane. father of William lilac- Dcnald. keeper of the lighthfllFe Bl‘- Weat Point. William and Henry were taken by ‘Hancis Dccherty of Port Hill. Henry went to Malpeque after a few years and worked on a farm. Ho later made his home in Port Hill. He has four sons. Albert. James, Charlottetown: John Y.. Surnmerside: Robert and another brother in the West. Robert settled on n. farm in Freeland and had three children. Thomas. Mary (Mrs. Edward Kinsman). and Janie (Mrs. Bannerman Craig). Mrs. Kinsman is the only one still liv- ing. James settled in Arlington and had the following children: Ed- mund J., Hamilton: W. 1-1.. Arling- ton; Euphraim. Tyne Valley; Hu- nerman MacDougall of Bldeford. William had three children, one son Alfred (deceased). and two daughters. Mrs. James Miller. only one surviving. Hannah married a Mr. Mahar and moved to New Brunswlckhnd was lost sight of. Samuel Phillips‘ widow married a Neil Ramsay cf Ar" -‘ He had a son. and divided his prop- erty between him and one of her sons. The property is now owned by Mr. William Phillips. A walking cane given to Mrs. Samuel Phillipa bv her brother when she left England in 1832 and now in the possession of her grandson Hubert» Phillips, Tyne Valley. was viewed at the picnic. An interesting story is told of William. one of the twins. Going into Summerside one day to mo. he entered the store of R. '1'. Hol- man who had Just ently in- stalled some full length minors. William, hurrying through the store caught sight of himself in the mirror and mistook the re- fiection for his brother, James. later in the afternoon he hunted for him to accompany him on the return journey but failed to find him. When ha arrived home he found James had not left the place. James was a tailor by trade and always made a duplicate suit ci clothes for his brother sitar making his own. The Phillipa are of Welsh de- scent. although coining from Dev- onahire. Then were four generations at tho picnic, although the family goes balk to tbabixth generation to the original Samuel Phillipe. dmcandenta Reunion ("Bakery firm Bedeque Scene Of "~ n. mer-e- "W; Enjoyable Outing Sports, Music AF Speeches Feat- ure Function Under Auspices About eight hundred people from all parts of the province at- tended the Fcxmews IPield Day yesterday afternoon, which was held on the beautiful farm of Rob- ert Baker, Bedeque. This was the first time in the history of the province that such a gathering had been held and was a great success. The affair was under the auspices of the Fox Exhibitors As- sociation and their President, Mr. Clifford Rogers, presided in his usual happy manner, Speeches from prominent fox- and refrlshments made up the ai- ternoon program.

Cooperation was needed in the fox industry as well as 1n any other industrv and he hoped this gathering fodav would result in a more get together spirit. I-Ie ex- pressed profound regret that he had to report the death of the wife of Malor Robertson, organizer of the field day. Mr. Rogers sug- gested that an expression of sym- pathy from the Exhibitors Associ- ation be sent to Major Robertson and his family, Mr. Leeman in a short address expressed his pleasure at being present and said he was charmed with the beautiful surroundings that he found on Mr. Baker's fann. The spot was ideal for a foxmen's picnic. Mr. Baker had one of the best ranches in the dis- trict and ii. was an appropriate place to hold the first field day. Mr. Leeman then spoke for a short time on the changes in the con- stitution of the C.N.S.F'.B.A., of which he was president. He out- lined the advantages to the fox rancher of thcchanges in reduc- tion of registration and other fees. Mr. John C. Jack gave a moat iri- teresting address on- feeding the fox puppies stressing the import- ance of avoiding over feeding. He advised the feeding of fresh meat. cooked cereal and milk to avoid bloating. so fatal to puppies. ‘Mr. b9"- TY" vane-l" "M MYS- 3m‘ Srown also gave a short talk on feeding and referred to the sad bereavement sustained by Major Robertson and moved that a vote of sympathy be extended to Major Robertson. This was seconded by Capt. John L. Read and unani- mously passed, instructive Address Col. D. A. MscKinnon, D-S.O.. gave an instructive address on the pa blems that are confronting the fox rancher in Eastern Canada at the present time. He was delighted to see so many foxmen present as these gatherings helped to strength- en the bonds of friendship between breeders and it is only by cooper- ation that the problems of the fox breeder can be solved. The quicker we all work for the common infer- est the sooner we will become p. perous, said the speaker. One of the problems today was the high coat of meat to the rancher owing to the drought in the West Tripe and other meats had riaen three with the unfavourable height rates to the Maritime Provinces, Maritime: at a disadvantage in his competition wlth_ the Western rancher. ‘Ihe cost of production of pelts was a mat deal higher in the Mnrltimca.

(By A- E. ‘ Associated Press Foreign Staff) ROME, Aug. 13-(A.P.)-Threa more ships laden with troops, war materials and workmen sailed for Italy's East African colonies to- night as the Government com- pleted arrangements to send its delegation to the tri-power con- ference in Paris. Well-infonned circles did not ‘disguise the fact Italy does not expect any development in these conversations to retard her mil- itary program in East Africa. Well-informed circles believe therefore that Baron Pcmpeo Aloisl, the Italian delegate who is expected to arrive in Paris Thurs- day, will maintain the Italian right-backed by a wealth of jur- idical argument-to deal with Ethiopia in Italy's own way. This attitude of polite indiffer- ence to the Paris meeting was re- flected in the press. The newspapers played up new “bel1lcose“ declarations attributed to Emperor Haile Selassie of Eth- iopia. They announced the steam- ship Gange will sail for East Africa tomorrow witl-l 2,000 troops who will be reviewed by Crown Prince Umberto.
