,GOING AHEAD WITH
CRUISER PROGRAM
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Feb. 8-W. C. Bridge-
man, Fh~st Lord of the Admiralty
today spiked reports that the gov-
ernment was about to postpone the
1929 cruiser construction program.
Replying to a question in the House
of Commons, he said that anange-
menis for ordering two cruisers laid
down, one this month, and the other
in March, were proceeding.
Two days ago reports of the pro-
posed postponement were published
in several London newspapers. They
were based upon the fact that Ad-
miral Sir Charles E. Madden, chief
of naval staff and nrst sea lm.. had
conferred at the House of Commons
with Mr. Bridgeman, Prime Minis-
ter Baldwin and other cabinet men.
The Admiralty said then,_however,
that Admiral Madden's appearance
at the parliament buildings had notn-
ing to do with cruisers.

TORONTO, Feb. 8.-Evidence that
the Maritime Provinces are endeavor-
ing to keep tourist traffic active in
Canada, especially in having Cana-
dians visit their provinces, is shown
in the opening here this week of the
Maritime Provinces trade commis-
sioner‘s office.
“The object of this office is to de-
velop better markets for Miritime

commissioner, here tonight.
"Since we opened this office we
have received many inquiries for

have \vritten in seeking trade con-
uections.

fwish success to the venture. Among

RISE IN BANK RATE
SHOCKS LONDON
(Special to The Guardian)
LONDON, Feb. 8-The Bank of
England today announced a rise in
the bank rate from 51-2 per cent.-
and thus gave financial London its
greatest shock in many months. Busl
ness men were filled with dismay. Dis-
appointment was immediately ex-
pressed by leaders in the "city" who
said the increase would give British
trade a serious setback, and there
were predictions for higher prices,
lessened profits and more unemploy-
ment as a. result.
Almost the only good word said for
the bank's action was that it would
check speculation in New York and
elsewhere. Hints of the impending
rise have been circulating in stock
brokers oflices ever since the heavy
gold withdrawals to the United States.
When sterling exchange improved yes
terday, many observers thought the
danger past. Leading financial news-
papers tried to calm their readers
fears but they were wrong.
