Quebec Superior Court Hands Down Decision (Canadian Press) QUEBEC, Jan. 3—'I‘he Superior Court has not the jurisdiction to over-rule a decision of the Minister of Inunigration, according to a judgment handed down in Super- ior Court by Chief Justice Sir Francois lcmieux fills morning in the case of Pawcl Szczerbaty, who was found guilty of taking part in the May Day riots atRouyn, and ordered deported by an immigra- tion board of inquiry. Szczcbaty served six months in Quebec jail for his part in the riots lifter which he contested the right of the Minister of Immigration to order his deportation, on the grounds that he had been a resi- dent of Canada for more than flvé years, and ‘hat therefore he did not come under the jurisdiction of the immigration Department. The Chef Justice, however. found that it, was up to Saczerbaty to prove tl zse allegations before the Immigration Department Board of Inquiry, otherwise the decision of the Board of Inquiry could not be set aside by the Superior Court. In view of these facts, Sir Pran- co’; dismissed with costs the AP" plication for a writ of Habeas Cor- pus and a writ of ancillary certior- ari.

Past YearReview- ed By Public Men (Canadian Press) MONTREAL, Jan. 4-H the year 1932 did not bring Canada out from under the heavy pail of eco- nomic dcpression it at least display- ed a. few encouraging factors not evident; in the paifc year of 1931 and at; the same time brought home to Canadians the necessity for rigid economies and cautious expenditures. Prominent business and public nicn of the Dominion expressed this view in an annual review of trade and business con- ditions published by thc Montreal Gazette. Canadian traders and producers would do well to study both world and domestic markets very care- fully, suggests Hon. H. H. Stevens. Domlniofi Minister of Trade and Commerce. Mr. Stevens says in part: “It is high time that the world generally, and governments particu- lariy, should begin to live within their means, cease going into debt. In business we require men of a careful and cautious type who will refrain from plunging int-o extrav- agance: of new plant and new machinery when times are prosper- ous forgetful of the fact that all undue expansion tends to defeat its own purpose. Integrity, however is not enough. Our business mc-n re- quire a competent knowledge not only of their own industry as it ex'sts in Canada but of tfféirm industry in otherycountries and of the state of business throughout the world as a whole. W. C. COULTER Despite her difficulties. Canada has maintained a high place in in- dustry and commerce, says W. C. Coulter, President of the Caiadinn Manufacturers‘ Association. Cana- d'an exporters have made a veil! creditable showing under adverse conditions, and much is w be hop- ed for from the tariff agreements rearulting from the Imperial Con- ference at Ottawa. At the same time Mr. Couiter adds a wamlni ' -‘ in,‘ “ 1- expenditures of both governments and individuals. The ultimate cost of social legis- lation such as workmenls compen- sation laws and unemployment 1n- surance should be closely studied. he glyl. "Without making any ob- servation on the merits of social legislation," says Mr. Coulter, "it must be recognized that a large share of the payment is made by the taxpayers as well as by indus- try, and this fact should be borne in mind 1n considering further leg- islation d thi; type." J. A. MAcLaon "It is a matter for congratula- tion that during 1032 the fall of wholesale price has been consider- ably less rapid than ;t was during the whole of 1030 and 1931,writiea J. A. MacLcod, President of the Cana- dian Bankers Association and Belle oral manager of the Bank of Nova Sootia. Mr. McLeod continues "neverthe- less it must be admitted that the rise in the price index from June till September of 1m, .was very slight indeed. and since Janulfl last, u during the two previous years, the general direction of prices in the wholesale markets in Canada has been downwards. ‘lb many, for this reason, the central problem involved in the develop- ments in the put three yelta has been a monetary problem."

The completely , ipped counter- felting plant was prepared to turn out five, 10 and 20 dollar bills of the Royal Bank of Canada and 10 dollar bills of the United states Federal Reserve Bank. tSuspicion of a large counterfeit- ing exploit had been raised at Shawinigan and surrounding town! and villages some weclu. ago as note after note, almost perfectly “seated, were presented to var- ious stores and even to bunks.

B.’ Jun, 3~~Crail- berry productlim in the Muritlmc Provinces is showing a gain but there is still considerable room for increased production declared F. W. Walsh, Superintendent of Agricul- ture for the Canadian National Railways system on his arrival hcrc today from Montreal. The Maritime cranberry, he said, is as good a pro- duct u is produced anywhere and the Canadian market offers a. good outlet. Notwithstanding the advances which already have been made in cranberry culture in the Maritimes, cranberries are still coming from the United States, Mr. Walsh con- tinued. Prices are favorable and the Marltimes should be able to sup- ply practically thc whole of the Canadian demand. Spinach is another article which can be produced in the Marltimcs as the climate is admirably suited to its cultivation, Mr. Walsh re- marked, and he stated it should be especially valuable in places where canneries are located to can the surplus.

Purchasing power was destroyed, markets lost and a ivastly accelerated producing mach- ine had to adjust itself to the con- sequent shrinknce of internal and external trade. No nation escaped the Will's bitch" ng influence, and ‘peace was made by a world that was lost in the wilderness it had created.

We thought the way out xvns not difficult. At one time all pic-war standards of living seemed to have been regained and cven sin-passed. All too soon we had to face a great disillusionment. The cvidcncvs of recovery which we thought were real were based on false premises. A great gap was suddenly apparent between debtor and crzditor lotions. Vast quant‘- tics of gold, the generally accepted standard for determining national and international obligations, shift- ed from one group of nations fc another with disastrous wnsequen cg-s to both. Great Britain was com- pelled to abandon this generally accepted standard with wnsequen cos far-reaching in importance. "We have since witnessed two groups 0f debtor and creditor nat- ions who seemed as two individ- uals struggling in the water. one of them in apparent health and cap- able of making for the shore, but held in s0 firm n grin by the other as to make their common fate in- evitable.

Participated, the Japanese occupied the entire walled city at two p.m. The attack encountered obstinate, resistance for three hours, although‘ o. detachment of the Ticnksln Jap i anese garrison, which had been stu- tioncd at Shanhaikwan, took the inlportant south gate, fa-i cllitating the mfgntry advance w! scorch of the lost t‘\llii>l‘k'l" the city. Thus far the Japanese have not attempted to advance west of Bhan- ‘ llaikwan beyond the broken railway bridge midway between Shanha k- wan and Cilinwangtao, about 10 miles to the southwest.

General Chlang refused to divulge what took place at the con- ference. He is returning to Nan- kfng, the Capital, immediately. A War Office spokesman an- nouncing that order to localize the conflict already had been dispatch- ed, acid that much depended on whether Chinese leaders "cooperate sincerely 1n the efforts to restore peace." But the Japanese author- lties are reinforcing their troops. Clash Unforncm "lt is not possible, therefore, to say definitely that the fighting will be localiud or to predict that it is likely to lpread," the spokesman said. "I can say, however, that the clash at Shankhaikwsn was en- tirely unforeseen by our side and was in nowise connected with ihc intentions of the Japanese army ultimately to make Jchol takeably a part of Manchukuo.” (Jehol is a province lying between Manchurla and China proper. Shankhaikwan would be a logical jumping off place for the Japanese in the event of a campaign to con- quer the province.) The Japanese version of the or- igin of the conflict is that it ivas preceded by numerous skirmishes in the last fcw weeks on the south- ern border of Manchuria. Sunday svening, the Japanese said, two‘ bombs were found in a Japanese sentry box, and thereupon forces in Shanhalkwan suburb were dis- patched to the city to protect Jap- anese nationals. Battle ensued. Press dispatches said the fighting in the coastal district south and west of shanhalkwan was scvcrc. with the Japanese destroyers Fuyo and Asa-goo, as well as numerous army aeroplanes, participating. The War Office spokesman, however, said official reports indicated that only the ninth brigade of Chinese troops and five companies of Jap- anese were lnvolved in the action.
