OTTAWA, Aug. lL-How the Gov ernment plans to proceed, with further reference to the Beauhar- nois Power Corporation and those financially fostering the project is indicated today. One conspicuous fact is that, in effect, the company will have to start all over again in the process of securing the consent of the Gov- ernment and otherwise complying with the legislation passed at the end of the session following the parliamentary inquiry. Presumably the necessary proceedings will be initiated without delay if the works are to be uninterrupted. The company. it is stated, must prepare and present plans for the works with es great detail as pos- sible, submit them to the Govem- ment, and ask for its approval. It will be for the Cabinet to discuss and decide on the terms and con- ditions under which sanction will be given. The old order in council had 28 conditions attached. These may be re-affirmed or varied or_ supplemented. New Agreement Sought It is indicated that the intention of the Government is to exact a new agreement. covering the whole matter. As soon as such an agree- ir.ent is reached. the act of the recent session will be proclaimed or brought into operation. This will wipe out the old situation and create a new one. of navigation to hand over to the Dominion Government in fee simple the lands and appurtenances re- quired fer such purposes.

Holcombe, pro- fessor of Government of Harvard University, at the institute of pol- itics today. Professor Holcombe told members of the general conference on the future of the British Commonwealth that the United States. “now that it may have a navy inferior to none," seems likely to succeed tovthe Bri- tish point of view concerning the freedom of the seas, and to cease to be interested in challenging the traditional British attitude."

The Trans-Canada Air Pageant will be in the City on August B6 and 27, according to information re- ceived by Dr. J. S. Jenkins. The building of the airport on Upton Farm was resumed on Tuesday un- der the supervision of Mr. Ivan Reddln in order that the field might be completed in time for the Erect aerial performance. It is ex- pected that about fifty planes will take part in the demonstration. Before the work on the airport was discontinued several months ago due to lack of available machin- ery, the East-toWest runway was completed. It is now expected that the North-to-South runway will be finished 1n about ten days. The erection of office buildings, gas tanks, and markers, begins today. The telephone and electric light companies are, co-operating by burying their lines located on the North River Road. It is believed that the pageant will be important not only from the fact of the advertising and fin- ancial remuneration which the Province will receive. but also in the impetus given air service and transportation fn the Province. The co-operation of the Govern- merit ,the City Council, and the citizens generally is expected by the air port authorities. As incorporated air lines hesitate to allow their planes to land in un- licensed fields. the Federal Inspect- or of Airports, Mr. George G. Wake- man, will arrive next week to in- spect the port- Mr. Wakeman who viewed the site in May made certain recommendations as to the proper course to follow in construction. All recommendations are being car- ried out. While the pageant is remaining in other cities only one day, it will be here for two days. Two fields of sixty acres will be available for the parking of cars. Among the aircraft in the pag- eant will be an auto gyro plane which will be new even to citizens conversant with aviation. There will also be six fighting planes from the Department of National Defence with their mother ship, an eighteen passenger tri-motor Ford. Several American flyers of international fame will also be present for the meet. An effort will be made to have Captain Errol Boyd, trans-Atlantic flyer, present for the presentation of the trophy donated by Mr. Har- man of Paris, President of the In- ternational Aviators‘ League, in recognition of Captain Boyd's trans- Atlantic flight last Fall.
