P. By Guardian’s Special Wire) OTTAWA, Jan. 2-Ringing up the curtain on the 1905 general election campaign Prime Minister R. B. Bennett tonight announced that his government would go to the people on a program of reform which he believed would bring prosperity,_and security against future depressions. In what may be regarded as his most out-spoken public address since the 1980 campaignthe Prime Minister declar- ed that the time had come for changing the economic sys- tem. He asked for support .that the government might ef- fect essential reforms which were delayed inthe fight against the immediate problems of the depression. “And in my mind," said the Prime Minister, “reform means government intervention. It means government con- trol and regulation. It means the end of ‘laissez faire! Re- form heralds recovery. There can be no permanent recov- ery without reform. I raise the issue. squarely.

The anticipated increase in imports of Irish cattle was set by Irish authorities at 150,- 000 head over existing quota limits.

The note, couched in a somewhat more conciliatory tone than the preceding messages, declared the Ethiopian government is ready to make reparations to Italy if Rome can prove the Ethiopian forces pro- voked the clash. _ The message was received yes- terday but its contents were not made public until today. It reiter- ated Ethiopian charges that the Italian Ualual outposts on the bor- der between Italian Somaliland and Ethiopia which 30 Italians and 110 Ethlopians were reported slain. “The Ualual incident," the .mes- sage declared, "assumes an ex- tremely grave character owing to the many Ethiopian dead and wounded and to the fact that the Italians were commanded by regu- lar army officers and used tanks and acroplanes. “In its first note the Ethiopian government clearly showed the Italian government its desire that the work of delimiting the frontier between Ethiopia and Italian Som- aliland in accordance wit hthe 1908 treaty, be started without de- lay. This desire has been voiced several times by the Ethiopian gov- ernment since then. "The Ethiopian government has taken note of a declaration by the Italian government that it is dis- _pwed to proceed. with such demar- cation, but considers that the con- dition attached to the Italian dec- laration presents obvious difficult- ies to thc Ethiopian government." The condition referred to by the note apparently was a demand by the Italian government, made ln its second note to the League on Dec. 26. repeating its demand that reparations for alleged Ethiopian aggression be made before resump- tion of work on delimitation of the border between Italian Somaliland and Ethiopia. "The Ethiopian government can- not consent- that satisfaction de-,_ manded of it be accorded before s full investigation has established respective responsibilities,” the note went on. “The Ethiopian government de- clares solemnly that it is ready to satisfy the Italian demands if it is proven the responsibility for the clash rests on Ethiopia."

Mr. Greenham, former Professor at Queens University, Belfast, Northem Irelgid, and msmber of both the Che cal Society of Eng- land and thc American Chemical society. has sent his findings to Ot- tawa and applied for patmts. Now he is perfecting a machine which he plans to take up in an aeroplane next summer to spray the clouds. He estimates thc colt of producing a fall of 5,000 tons of water at |20 to |60. Announcing the completion of his formula, the Halifax chemist reid today it was lnaohed thrown thc application of well known principles of chemistry and phyriu. Theore- tlcally it was perfect, he decla-lcd. expressing confidence that rain could be produced as long as than were clouds to attack. Bc remarked that the flsecy clouds which pass over Nova Scotia on a fine summer day without giv- ing up their moisture to the land "sail out over the Atlantic and spend their days in riotous living." Coming to Canada from Northem Ireland in 1080, Mr. Cheenham was busy as a consulting and research chemist, but after his retirement one year ago he found time to ex- periment with some of his iona- chertshed schemes.

The statement follows in part: The recovery that has taken place has been very largely due to the influence of the Ottawa Agree- ments, providing us with preterm- tial markets in the greatest lm- porting nation in the world as well as in other Dominicns, The total exports of Canadian merchandise in the latest 12 month period ended October 1934 were $638,226,000 as compared with $508,996,000 in its predeoewor, an increase of $129,230,000 or about percent. Exports of the pro- ducts of lille farm, the fisheries the forests and the mines all showed increases. Again, exports of coin and bullion not included with merchandise exports also scored a remarkable advance, due in thc main to the hlglhor prices secured for our newly mined gold.
