UNIMPRESSED WITH NEW PRDPUSAL Prominent C a 1 g a ry Dairyinan V o ic e s Opinion Of Cattle- Oil Exchange. (Canadian Press) CALGARY, Dec. 29.-The propos- cd exchange of Canadian dairy cat.- tle for Russian oil, sought by a. Winnipeg syndicate, was received proiniiicnt Calgary dairymim, to day. "I believe the itussiaii plan only a- tcmporaiy expedient and one which will prove, for various reasons, a fiasco after it has been in vogue a sliori. time," he said. The Winnipeg syndicate plans to exchange 100,000 _Canadian dairy cattle for Russian crude oil, but Mr. Hays thinks thcie ure other and better iiiiirkcts to bc found, especi- .ally in Great Britain and Furope. “Properly organized, a. bigger and more stable market could be found for cattle and manufacturctl dairy products in Great Britain and Europe," he coiitiiiiied. "In these countries there are better methods of milk distribution and larger con- sumption of milk and milk pro- ductsf Japan and China. also, he added, offered bctlcr markets than Russia.

Luniberman Back From En g 1 a n d States Soviets H a v e 4,000,000 P o u n d Contract With United King# dom. (Canadian Press) MONTREAL, Dec. 29. __ Soviet Russia has just entered into a con~ tract with a British firm to supply 870,000,000 feet of lumber valued roughly at four million pounds. H. R. MacMillan, prominent British Columbia lumberman declared, iri addressing the Montreal Wholesale Lumber Association today. Mr. MacMillan told his audience hc had received a cable today to that effect. The contract, he said, meant a "shut-nut” for Canadian limiber export to Great Britain as the amount was four times Can- ada‘s annual export to the United Kingdom. The terms of the contract, as out- lined in his cable, showed that the with little ciithusiiisin by E. Hays, “fd” “'35 against U10 Spirit Of HP* _ ticle 21 of the Imperial Economic Conference Pact hammered out lust August at Ottawa, the speaker dc- clared. Russia hiid guaranteed to reimburse the British purchasing company for any competitive price which was lower than that at which Russia had sold. In other words, Mr. MacMillan added, the Russians absorbed any loss that might be sustained by the British company, He did not state the name of the United Kingdom company concern- ed or the source of his cablcgram. Mr. Mnclviillaii, who is President of the H. R. Mi\cMi!lrui Export Company of Vancouver, returned from Great Britain a few days ago., While there he investigated the lumber situation at length. “The condition brought about by Russian competition and ii certain inertia in Eastern Caiiadn's solicit- ing of the British trade are the only two things that_ stand in the way of getting a much bigger part of tho British market now,” hc declared. Tlicrc was no doubt, lic said, that the terms of the present Russian contract, which had been entered into three days after Premier R. B. Bennett left London, destroyed the 10 per cent general preference giv- en to Canada. by the United King- dom. Mr. MacMillan felt; that if unity of action was brought to bear upon the government by eastern Canad- ian lumber companies a way out might be found. The British were Empire-minded and were ready enough to buy Canadian products, but they could not be expected to buy at a. higher price than Was iicccssary and than they could get elsewhere. ` The price at which lumber could be had in the United Kingdom from the Baltic at present was, in Can- adian iiioney, $19, he went on, this being the average delivered price. Some Canadian companies were actually trading at that rate, but it seemed hardly a satisfactory one. However, if this were to go up to $21 which might happen if there was greater parity between British and Canadian currency then the export trade would be decidedly attractive financially to the Canadian export- icd $10,730,832, a decrease of 33.012,- cr. forthe same iiionth last year.

The spot where the little girl was skating is very unsafe. Her companions when they siiw her go under threw hockey sticks to her but were afraid 'to go too near. McNeill who was some dis- tance away rushed to the scene and with great presence of mind strip- ped off his clothing so that his movcnients would not bc hampered and jumped from the concrete eni- banknient and broke right through the ice, swimming to the spot where the little girl was, She was a’most unconscious and but for the lad's quick action would have been drowned.
