The chairman objected to the term Maritime lines, ss a consider. I510 Portion was in Quebec, east of Levis-to which Gen. Fisbet (Lib, Rimouskl)‘, interjected that the only part of the line that paid was from Levis to Moncton. The Maritime members sought to BMW that the eastern lines were not losing any more than tl-ls rest of the system comparatively. How- ever at the request of Mr. Euler it was shown that the corresponding figure to the net deficit in the cash crn lines was a net earning of $7.- 585320 for the rest of the system. William Duff, (Lib, Antigonish Guysboroush). entered a vigorous defence oi the “Maritime situation and Col. Cantley (Cons., Pictou), 10ined, tending that the old In- tcrcolonial paid its way ten years out of twenty. 'I‘ile chairman gave an emphatic denial when Mr. Beaubien said it was his understandnig that in the Intercolonial days everyone in -the Meritimes travelled on a pass. "Mr. Dunning said that," Mr.‘ Hanson declared, “and did not know what he was talking about." “The trouble is that all the brok- en down lines in the Maritimes and Quebec were taken over for political purposes and they are all losing money," declared Mr. Hanson. Mr. Duff thought it should be "public purposes" but Mr. Hanson replied that his considered opinion was that it was “political" and dealt especially with the Gaspe line which Sir Henry Thornton said was taken over on the urging oi.’ the people of the district and was a matter of state policy. He explain- ed his negotiations resulting in the debenture holders receiving about 50 cents on the dollar.

He hoped a plan for co-op- union between the two systems in in competition with _ the trucks mid be decided upon within a m. Objection was raised by William mil, (Lib, Antigonish-Guysbor- ougil), to any big capital expendit- ulcin trucks by the railway and this led Sir Henry to further ex- plain his proposal. Briefly it was that the two railways should select rennin lircns and provide‘ trucks which would pick up freight and express from the shippers at their plants, and bring it to the railways. firucks would deliver this freight at inc end oi the journey. He in- ltlnccd freight to be transported upwards of 100 miles. The trains yould carry it over the long haul incline trucks would handle it at each end. Sir Henry's plan was that the railway companies would lease trucks and try out the plan in cer- tlin areas to ascertain whether it would work before making any capital investment. There was no general agreement yet as to this Proposal but they were working llong those lines. The railways will go before the provinces to ask for legislation dealing with truck traffic on the iliiihways but it is unlikely any ac: iioll in this regard will be taken until after the royal commission in- vestigaiing transportation problems has made its report. The meeting developed into s llinvml discussion oi railway freight rates, Sir Henry declaring that Canadian rates were the lowest in the world and had the Canadian "iillflys enjoyed the some rate scale as the United States roads since 1923, the C. N. R. would have been able not only to pay interest 0n all the funded debt owed to the public but haye $20,000,000 over. ‘He ldmitted there were reasons why it W“ perhaps advisable that the rates in this country shoudl be kept donvn.

April lii-(By the Canadian Plum-The Rockefeller Foundation has granted 81,232,052 to McGill University, Montreal, for the establishment of a neurolog- icel institute, it was announced at a special meetingof the board of governors oi the University, held here today. With this grant, and with the co-operatlon oi provincial and civic authorities, in addition to 815,000 pledged by friends of the University and members of the governing board, plans are underway to de- velop at the university a neurolog- ical centre which will rank favor- ably with any on the continent, it was stated. A new building, specially equip- ped for research in neurology, neurosurgery and the physiology and pathology of the nervous sys- tem, will be constructed. It is an- ticipated that outstanding students in these subjects will be brought here from various parts of the world. Treatment will be available for patients. Dr. Wilder G. Venfield, one of the outstanding brain surgeons of the continent who has been asso- ciated with McGill for tile past few years, will be at the head of tile institute. His staff will'be head- ed by Dr. Colin Russel, Dr. F. H. MacKay and Dr. W. V. Cone. The Rockefeller Foundation, anxious for some time to make a contribution to the science of neur- ology and neurosurgery, chose Mc- Gill as recipient of the grant after a thorough investigation of the university's medical school, it was learned. The foundation was influ- enced partly because of the fact that Dr. Penfield was located here, partly because of the reputation of the medical school and partly be- cause of the co-operation and fin- ancial support promised by the province, the city and prominent citizens. ' l uiultjit IN (Continued from Page l) gation reached a point ncessitating police interference- The dimculty involved the right of Rev. Dr. G. A, Stewart, presid- ing elder of the district, to hold a meeting in the Church. Rev. A. F. Robertson, pastor in charge, claim- cd Dr. Stewart could not hold a meeting without the farmer's coll- sent. Dr. Stewart announced he would probably seek an injunction to prevent the pastor from "tres- passing" on the church grounds in future. ' Earlier in the day Dr. Stewart and the Rev. Mr. Robertson took turns in munching from the church door padlocks the other had put on, When Dr. Stewart arrived to hold a meeting this evening he found the hall in darkness. After mem- bers oi the conrregatlon bearing candles, discovered the switch had been turned off, Dr. Stewart ap- proached the pulpit, only to be met by' the Pastor and told he could not hold a meeting. The congregat- ion became disorderly and Detec- tive Inspector Biddescombe, who was on the scene with other mem- bers of the police, ordered the church to be cleared. The trustees conferred for an hour without reach- ing an agreement and after they left Dr. Stewart again attached his padlock. Both Mimsters stated emphatical- ly they would be the preacher at next Sunday's services. u.s._s_luon (Continued from. Page l) this afternoon.

THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN r Further ,Pled In Interests Of Radio Stations OTTAWA, April 18-—(By v the Canadian Press)-A further plea in the interests of the low-powered broadcasting station serving purely community interests. was made be- fore the House radio committee to- dly by Dr. G. M. Geldert, owner of station CKCQ, Ottawa. Dr. Geldert feared that under the proposed sys- tem of public ownership, even though provision were made for the continuation under private en- iefllrise of small station operations, these stations would be "stewed out" by the high powered stations. BUDGET (Continued from Page l) gency budget of September, which cut civil service salaries, unemploy- ment benefits and increased the levy on beer and the income tax, remains with little change. Colonial-grown sugar will receive an additional preference in the British market of a shining pel- hundredweight, with a further shill- ing a hundredweight preference on a limited quantity to be allocated by the colonial office. The motor cycle tax will be "re- adjusted." Committees will examine the taxation of cooperative societies, and the question of a subsidy for beet sugar. For an hour and three-quarters the Chancellor unfolded the story of British finances as waves of ob- vious disappointment swept across the crowded benches of the House of Commons. Hopes of such a sur- plus during the financial year just opening as would permit of tax re- ductions, were largely based on the estimated additional revenue from the new tariffs on imports: The Chancellor indeed estimat- ed the increased revenue from the import duties at 227,000,000. He in- timated that further duties would be announced later in the week, expected to yield another £5,000,000. Estimated Revenue Estimated revenue from abnor- mal dutles was placed at £1,000,000 and a yield of £25,000 from the new silk tax. Butegalrlst this he estim- ated a loss on colonial sugar con- cessions of £1,000,000 and £25,000 in motorcycle taxes. He further es- timated the yield from income tax and surtax together would be re- duced by £38,000,000, and £32,500,- 000 is being set aside for national debt sinking fund. No Other Course Yet, disappointing as the mem- bers found the budget in its lack of taxation relief-a disappoint- ment reflected in all comments to- night-there was realization that little more could be expected under the circumstances as revealed by the Chancellor. Mr. Chamberlain pleaded that there were still new mountains to climb and new rivers to cross. “The fact is," he said, "that the road to financial stabil- ity is not only hard and narrow but long and stoney. We have fer to go before we can emerge into eas- ier ways." Mr. Chamberlain agreed the whole country was crying for re- lief from taxation. The announce- ment there was to be no relief was bound to be received with disap- pointment, and perhaps at first even with resentment, he said. But the exercise of continued restraint would result in greater and more certain reward. "Hard work-strict economy—un- failing patience," Mr. Chamberlain declared, “are the qualities required of us. With them we shall not fall." In his speech Mr. Chamberlain outlined a proposed scheme to steady exchange on sterling. The idea is to wind up the old sterling exchange account, the assets of which will be used as the nucleus of a new account which will be called the “exchange equalization account." Parliamentary power will be sought to borrow up to £150,000,- 000 for this account, the assets of which may be held in either gold, sterling securities or foreign ex- change. This new account, it is asserted, will permit of more effective deal- ing with either a sudden inflow or sudden. outflow of capital» Com- ment on the scheme tonight was that it would tend to steady the gilt-edged securities market by giv- lng assurance against sudden fluc- tuations in exchange. "Coming to the financial year 1082-99," said the Chancellor, "I em including in the budget no receipts from reparations and no outgolngs for war debts.

Wesley A. Gordon, Minister of Ls- bor, told the House of Commons today. The question was raised by J. S. Woodsworth, (Lab., Winnipeg North). The Minister said the mat- tenhad been under consideration for some time, but the stage was not yet reached when the Govern- ment could make a. statement. AVIATION OTTAWA, April ill-The cutting of the estimates has practically wiped out the civil aviation branch of the Department of National De- fence, officials said here today. In view of that some adjustments will probably be required in relation to personnel. No action has yet been taken in that respect, however. Attendance Drops Oil OTTAWA, April lit-With the budget debate droning on, attend- ance records fell to a low ebb in the House of Commons today- At one time s. bare quorum of twenty-one members was sprinkled over the large chamber and the public gal- leries held eight spectators. French-speaking members held a field day during the evening, led by Hon. Arthur Sauve, postmaster- gencral. Speaking in his native tongue, the former Conservativl. leader the Quebec defended the rac- ord of the government, particularly in relation to the tariff and unem- ployment relief. A division on the Rhodes Budget is expected Thursday after Premier l-‘t. B. Bennett and Rt.

The duty is expected t0 yield $24,400,000 annually, Th‘; is the first time there has ‘been a duty on tea. since the days of Queen Victoria. The chancellor estimated the prospective deficit for the year at $6,448,000, calculating expenditure at $2,903,l40,000 and rwenue 8t $3.- 896,697,000. Chamberlain revealed that he hoped to issue a further or- der under the import duties act in gcgm-dance with the recommenda- tions of the imports advisory 00m- mittce before the end of the week that would yield a further $20,000,- 000. It would be unwise to disclose yet; to what», commodity the order would relate he said. It EBHEYBUY expected to be iron and SW81 DIO- ducts however. EMPIRE FOODS (Continued from Page l) support of the appeal. "I sincerely hope that the people of New Brunswick will stand firm- ly behind the movement and do their part in making it a success," Governor McLean declared today. "It is the duty of every loyal Cen- adian to give preference to Canad- ian products and products of other parts of the British Empire. "It is my opinion that if Empire products are served it will be of material benefit, as through this, housewives will learn what a great variety of foodstuffs are pro- duced withln our vast Empire, and how little need there is of purchas- ing products of foreign countries." Lausanne conference, I shall sub- mit whatever proposals may be ne- cessary to give effect to the meas- ures we agree upon." The Piancellor explained that the omlssino of reparations and war debts did not imply that any new decision had been made "on our policy in this delicate ques- tlon." The French, Belgian, Italian and Russian bassadol-s and the Swiss and Austrian ministers heard the budget speech. Y The tall and dignified Chancellor relieved his speech only by a 30KB‘ about Jllltrictic taxpayers “naylus more for worse beer" so as not t0 disappoint the British exchequer, and another quip about millionaires living too long. ‘ He reviewed the whole national l’ ancial position and touched briefly on the world pro" 0i business depression, reparations and war debts. To millionaires, whose death du- ties decreased during the last two years, Mr. Chamberlain said he felt like calling out as did a British gen- eral during the peninsular war when his soldiers hesitated in bat- tle. “Come on you rascals, do you want to live forever?" - » » \_ Penalty Cldims AgainstMembers Of Nfl’d.

Demonstration And Lecture At Moore &M’Leods That there is much cheerful and optimistic interest in business among the ladies of Charlottetown and vicinity has been made plain to Mrs. Doherty of the Wabesso Cotton Co. of Three Rivers, P. Q, whose products she has been de- monstrating for some days at the Moore d: McLeod store, and this too in the face of weather, for the most part of decidedly unfavourable nature. After the large annex on the second floor had been equipped as an auditorium according to the ideas of the most optimistic of the store management, the audience of ladies came in double the numbers expected, to hear Mrs. Doherty's bright and instructive address on Wabasso products and their uses. Yesterday the interested depart- ment wes crowded with lady visit- ors, ‘ specting and purchasing from the really remarkable display of beautiful merchandise, which, it is interesting to note, is entirely in design and coloring the product of one of our own Canadian mills, a striking instance of the fact that Canadian mills have the resources, skill and ability to equal and in many cases to surpass the weaves of any land. An interesting feature of the de- monstration consisted in the pre- sentation to each visitor of a ticket, entitlingthe holder to participate in a drawing for the prizes offered, which consisted of dainty colored bordered bed sets made by the great mill referred to. The winners were Mrs. C. F. Pooley of St. Avard’s, Mrs. Morrow of Clyde River, Mrs. G. F. Dewar oi Charlottetown and Miss Shaw of Charlottetown.

Baker, Gen- eral Superintendent of Transporta- tion, and Mr. Appleton, statcd: “Mr. MacKinnon, superintendent oi’ the Railway here, ca‘lcd me by phone and advised me that he had received a wire from Moncton to- day in reply to our interview which reads as follows: ‘Service once a week to Elmira is all that can be authorized. When more freight of- fers we can handle by extra trains.’ “With reference to the above wire, we would strongly recommend that you give this matter further consideration. From the attitude expressed by the delegation whg came to Charlottetown yesterday with reference to this matter, they are prepared to make any reason- able sacrifice in order to help meet the present depression, but to cur- tail the service from six to one day is, in our opinion, asking them to share a greater burden than would seem necessary. They expressed themselves as being perfectly satis- fied if they could have but two trains per week from_Elmira, one leaving there on Tuesday and the other on Friday morning of each week. In this wisy. it would take care of all cream shipments as well as the eggs gathered throughout the district by the Egg Circles. “There is another point in this connection that I should like to draw to your attention. Last sea- son at a public meeting called for the citizens of that district, a re- solution was passed pledging the district not to patronize any local truck service whatever, and that all their shipments both inward and outward would have to be forward- ed by the railways. Now, I doubt if a similar action has been taken by the residents of any other district throughout the whole region, or in fact in the Dominion. This attitude on their part was broadcasted in the press. Now, in view of the ac- tion taken by them on that occa- sion, they would naturally feel that the action taken by the railway management at this time is a little too drastic and that the economies to be effected should be made to share pro-rate. throughout the Province. “Trusting that you may givethis matter your immediate attention and that we may be in receipt of a favorable reply at an early date. MR. APPLETONS REPLY Mr. Appletonb reply, dated Monc- ton, April 18, was as follows: "Dear Mr. MacDonald: "I have your letter of the 14th instant regarding train service on the Elmira Branch. “Our studies of revenue derived from traffic on the Elmira Branch clearly indicate that they are so limited that we can hardly justify the operation of, any service and for that reason we decided that during the coming Summer we would provide a. one day a. week service or just sufficient to move the freight traffic. However, in view of all the circumstances, and your statement that train service twice a week would take cal-e of the traffic originating in that tcr- ritory, and that trucks will not be patronized, we have decided to pro- vide a two day a week service and this will be arranged along the lines suggested in your letter, ei- fective May 1st.

April ill-The in- tervention fo the Dominion‘ Gov- ernment in the affairs of Besuhar- nois temporarily crippled the com- pany, Premier L. A. Taschereeu, of Quebec, said here today. If the Government had not come into Beauharnois it would not today be necessary to use the money of the tax-payers to assure the completion of the enterprise, he said. "I have not had time to stud! the stateme it of Prime Minister R. B. Bennett as reported in the House of Commons yesterday," Mr. Tas- chereau said, “but I have read enough to conclude that he does not solve the whole problem." "One thLrlg is certain," Hon.

Public confidence was shaken and financing became more difficult. That explains why Ottawa today is obliged to we the Can- adian people's money to assure the completion of the job. "I do hope," said the Premier in closing, “that the newest interven- tion will prove the salvation of the enterprise, for it is essential that $13,000,000 invested by the people of Quebec in Beauharnois bonds be secured.” SOUNDS NOTE (Continued from Past l) sloner to Great Britain and for- mer Premier of Ontario concluded an address to the Empire Club here today. Great Britain would be the first nation in the world to come bsck to normal conditions, declared the High Commissioner. Because of the attitude of the British people, the Empire had everything to look for. When the emergency had arisen, the people of England, he said, had sold their lands and broken up their estates to pay taxes-taxes necessary in order that England might maintain her position. These sacrifices had been made, not in a spirit of grumbling, but cheerful- ly and with good grace. British people were anxious to buy British goods, he said. The Government had exempted the Do- minions from anti-dumping regu- lations and had refused to impose tariffs on Empire goods or to nego- tiete foreign trade agreements "un- til we all have had s chance in sit down and talk things over at the Imperial Conference."
