On their deliberations much depends. In fact it is not too much to say that almost overwhelming disaster to Germany and the economic secu- rity of the world may result if this conference fails. The situation in brief and ghorn of all political considerations is that Germany urgently needs o. loan of not less than $500,000,000. Falling the early receipt of that loan her whole economic structure is likely to topple.

"This accounts for the large amount of gravel in Prince County and scattered elsewhere over 1 ing the Government to buy from them. The Canadian National Railways Political combines, and the Govern- ments own rrivate interests were beckoning towards the mainland. Mr. Rrechette, Dominion engineer, was on a trip to idle Island in 1021, and while here looked around for deposits of road material, and later had w.

His yprbal report to the owners was "good road material fit tobeshippedtoanyplrtofthels- land.” In the summary of Mr. Picber's port, by our chief engineer, in 1020, we find, "It is also to be in- ferred from the report of our pit gravel or conglomerate, it is not only inferior to the N. S. and N. B. gravel, but is even inferior to their conglomerates." Quite a change this, after this re- port has passed through two Lib- eral Governments! '_ The first report to the owners is the one that has been proved cor- rcct. The whole "Gravel surfacing” article in our chief engineer's re- port is a justification of the Phil- lip‘: contract. This gravel was bought on the mainland for 5 cents per yard, and cost us 84.12% per southaideof the Illind.

Among those laborers was our ro- turned soldier, with almost nothing to live on, owning a truck, also idle. About 13 chains from this pit is a main highway, of which Premier Lea said just 2 days before the byi- election last fall, while canvassing for Mr. Campbell, that he did not know there was such a bad road on the Island."
