Annual meeting
The 22nd annual meeting of the
Australian Section of the Imnpire
Press Union was held this year in
Adelaide on May 11. All office
bearers were -re-elected, and appre-
ciative references were made to the
News Letter. A number of matters
of domestic interest were discussed,
including the question of Empire
broadcasting. ‘
Australia md Ottawa
The increasing attention being
‘Paid to the question of monetary
i>011¢Y which it is hoped will be
dealt with at the Ottawa Confer-
ence has excited, stabilise wholesale
prices and influence currency
movements cannot, of course, be ef-
fective. Our national power is nm.
lted and may be nullified to a ser-
ious extent by actlon overseas. Im-
perial action at Ottawa to stabilise
sterling values, with a view to the
interests of the whole Empire, pro-
mises greater security for our ex-
porting industries and may poss-
ibly glve Australia s. considerable
measure of the relief she desires
through an honest agreement for
reducing the burden of overseas
-interest. The Australian delegation
to Ottawa is a strong one, but no
authority on currency capable of
putting the case for the Common-
wealth and of specially watching
Australian interests has been ap-
pointed, yet, but it ia now expected
that the Government will do so.
Australian Delegates
Austra1ia'.s representatives at the
Conference were hidden farewell
at the adjournment of the House of
Representatives on May 24. The
Prime Minister, Mr. Lyons. ex-
pressed the hope that the Assist-
ant Treasurer (Mr. B. M. Bruce)
and the Minister for Customs (Mr.
H. Gullettl, who will represent the
Commonwealth, wolud have a com-
pletely auccessfui mission, which he
said. was possibly fraught with
greater possibility than any other
mission which had left these
shores. He emphasised that the
Ministry had the utmost confidence
in its representatives and in their
official advisers. The Leader of the
opposition um. sculllm sale there
was a great opportunity for .lego-
tlation for reciprocal relations be-
tween Australia and other parts. oi'
the Empire. P
Messrs. Bruce and Guiiett res-
ponded, and both emphasized the
significance and the magnitude of
the task before the delegation.
Federal Finance Improves
Reviewing the year’s finances in
the House of Representatives, the
Assistant Treasurer (Mr. Bruce)
brought forth loud applause when
he announced that there was ev-
ery indlcation that the Common-
wealth-Budget would be within the
limits laid down bl' the Premiers
Plan. Under that Plan a. deficit of
£4,380.00() is allowed for, and Mr.
Brllce added that this might even
be slightly reduced. Allowance,
however, must be made for the
unexpected relief afforded by the
‘Hoover Moratorium, which saved
Aiislfiui during the current year
£4.030.000. and further relief was
gained by the action of the British
Govemment in suspending pay-
ments of the sinking fund on Aus-
tralla's war debt, amounting to £1,-
600.000 a year, for two years.
Empire Day
Empire Day was celebrated
throughout Australia with unusual
fervor this year, probably due to
the realisation by n large number
of people of the increasing growth
of anti-social and anti-British for-
ces. The Federal Ministry has
brought in new legislation to deal
with agitators and other undesir-
abies in accordance with an elec-
tion promise made by Mr. Lyons.
On the other hand, it is notable
that at the recent State elections in
Victoria there was but one single
Communist candidate, and he lost
his deposit.
Broadcasting
Great interest and considerable
satisfaction is expressed on all
sides ‘with the composition of the
newly appointed Broadcasting
Commission, which is to control
broadcasting throughout the Com-
monwealth on similar lines to the
British Broadcasting Commission.
Mr. 0. Lloyd Jones, the chairman,
is managing director of a large
Sydney business, and is.weii known
as a lover of music and art. Mr.
.Herbert Brookes, vice-chairman, is
universally respected for his worth
in public life and business circles,
and he has high musical and lit-
eral qualifications. Professor Wal-
lace, vice-Chancellor of sydney
University, will bring light and
learning to the board, while Mr. R.
B. Orchard is noted for organizing
ability in the entertainment world.
The sole woman member, Mrs.
Claude Couchmun, ia president of
the Australian Womcn's National
League. and has for many years
‘interested herself in public activi-
'ties of many and diverse kinds.
A Interest ln raliuea
A sign of the times is the re-
markable interest shown by nearly
everyone in the political situation
which has undergone some highly
significant changes of late. The
overwhelming victory of ine Lyons'
Ministry has been followed by the
dismissal of Mr. Lang, the rout of
the Socialists in Victoria, and the
discomflture of the Lang forces in
New South Wales. The improved
position in Queensland, where Mr.
Moore and his henchmen have per-
formed woudcrs ha the past two
years, is an earnest of what can
be accomplished in New South
Wales under similar sane and bon-
est leadership. The most notable
factor is the inevitable rise in all
stocks and shares, the increase in
confidence and the greater indus-
trial nctivlty. which always follow a
Socialist defeat.
Not for two years have the peo-
ple of the Commonwealth been so
cheerful or faced the future with
greater hope and confidence.

UNUSUAL HARVEST g
__-a
A Week in the “Mnriiimes", From
P- B- -irnkin. un :rha lualbonrna
Hmiir Australia)
Australians who have travelled
from Vancouver to Montreal, or
from Montreal to Vancouver, must l
D05 1111881116 1.311815 tl’lEy have geen
Canada.
It is amistakewhichmanymake,
and Ana for which the Maritime
provinces - New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
cannot forgive them.
For the last week a “Goodwill”
party has been “talking Australia" 
to receptive audiences ln these far !
eastern provinces of the Dominion,
and has discovered, or re-discover-
ed, how important they really ere.
As is the case in Australia, they
are often overshadowed by the more
populous and politically more pow-
erful centres, but in the move for
increased trade, they deserve our
close attention.
We have been told by the con-
sumers themselves, that they like
our canned and dried fruits, and
our wine, and everywhere we have
been, the people have expressed a.
determination to use more of our
products in their homes. But as
this is an age of salesmanship, we
must keep Australia constantly be-
fore them.
Journey of Discovery
From Ottawa we started east-
ward on a. journey of discovery,
answering questions about Aus-
traila at. every town of importance
on the route. We found several old
friends, and made many new ones.
At Charlottetown, the capital of
Prince Edward Island, we met the
Rev. R. Moorhead Legate, who
came to Canada four years ago, af- l
ter having spent 20 years in Aus-
tralia, mainly in Queensland. He
served in Palestine with the Aus-
tralian Light Horse.
The provincial secretary of the
Island, or, aa he calls himself, the
oillciai “leave it to George man,” is
Mr. H. R. Stewart, who served in
the Royal Air Force during the war
with Mr. A. H. 0'!-lata Wood, of
Melbourne. `
At Halifax, we met several old
friends of Mr. D. H. Ross, the Can-
adian Trade Commissloner in Aus-
tralia, and a bank official, who gets
his breakfast radio music twice a.
week from an Australian station.
He is anxious to hear the kooka-
burra record.
Land of Christmas Trees
On the way to Halifax, we pasa-
ed through the province of New
Brunswick-a veritable land of
Chrlstmastrees. It is possible to
travel for hundreds of miles
through these beautiful cone-.shap-
ed firs, which we in Australia. see
only in pictures.
We were just in time for the
harvesting of the "crop", which, by
the way, had never been known to
fail. For Christmas festivities in
cities 1000 miles and more away,
tens of thousands of the trees were
being out and carted to the nearest
stations, where special flat trucks
awaited them.
The cutters receive up to 25
cents each for the trees, and in
New York and Boston, where most
of them go, they are sold for three
and four times that amount. The
Christmas tree harvest provides a
considerable, and, in these days,
much appreciated, addition to the
yearly revenues of the landholders.
Objections have been raised to
wholesale cutting, but apparently
there is no danger of the Santa
Claus forests over becoming ex-
hausted.
Strange Bock Formations
We broke our eastward journey
at Moncton, a railway jlmction
town in New Brunswick, on the
Petiteodiac River. The river runs
for many miles through soft red
eart‘h,sndasithasstidalrlseand
fall of 40 feet, the water is any-.
thing but transparent. ~
There is a. local legend that the
salmon which come in with the
tide have been known to wear gog-
gles.
A Canadian National Railways
,oiliciai drove us 30 miles down the
‘river to Cape Hopewell, where some
of the most extraordinary rock
formations in Canada are found.
Several of them are shaped like
giant mushrooms; st high tide
they are islets, and at low tide they
are tree-eluted projections oi
earth and rock.
One of them _iooh remarkably

It is no doubt safe to say that
in the thought of the majority at-
tending church yesterday vvas a
prayer for the Inlperial Conference.
Thai; is the one great subject en-
gaging the attention of the people
at this time. The United Church of
Canada is loyall- to the core and
when the Government of Canada
expressed the desire that on Sull-
day, July 24th, prayers be offered
for Divine guidance for those who
are charged .with representing the
several members of the British
Commonwealth of Nations in the
Imperial Conference, the leaders in
our church at once approved of the
suggestion.
Rev. Dr. Ramsay preached at
both services yesterday as Rev. Mr.
Brown is on _holidays during July.
The text in the morning was Matt.
6-11, "‘Glv`e ‘lls this day our daily
bread." The sermon was _designed
to lead the thought of the congre-
gation-alorlg the true lines in the
intercession for the temporal bene-
fits. The text, which are the words
of Jesus, show that it is our prlv- `
SERVICES _ .
11889 and duty to pray for tem-
poral wants, ft recognizes that all
we need for our sustenance is the
gift of God, that our prayer should
be universal in its scope, a prayer
for others and when we pray for
the Empire we should embrace hu-
manity at large for we are all
made of one flesh and blood.
In the evening Dr. Ramsay spoke
from the text Matt. 'l-24, 26, “The
two foundations," one built upon
the rock, the other upon the sand
with an exhortation to cast aside
the flimsy things of life that may
_look attl'l1cti\'e and beautiful for the
moment but to build upon Jesus
Christ, upon the rock of his truth,
the only foundation that will with-
stand the storms of judgment.
The service of praise yesterday
was par_ticularly attractive and
pleasing, Mrs. Roy Cudmorc sang
with fine effect “God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes" and
at night Mr, C. F. Connell of the
Royal Bank sang “Come to Him
Now," and Miss Margaret Coffin of
Montague was listened to with de-
light as she sang beautifully “An-
gels ever bright and fair."
Port of Halifax -
Halifax, the chief winter port of
eastern `Can'ada, is noted for its
fine harbor-and its handsome wo-
men:‘"'  ' _
From the beginning of December
until the end of the winter, when
the St. Lawrence is more or less
frozen and is closed to shilllllns.
ateamera coming to eastcm Canada
from Australia and other countries
make Halifax their destination.
The winter unemployment problem,
consequently, is not so serious there
as it is in some other Canadian
cities.
The harbor is exceptionally well-
equipped with wharves and grain
loading facilities. and Halifax is
urging just now that it should. get
e greater snare of Ce.nada’s annual
wheat shipments'
More than 37 per cent of the an-
nual export of Canadian grain, we
were told, is shipped through Unit-
ed States ports, while the infinite-
simal amount of 0.1 per cent is
ohippedlthrough Halifax. The port
has elevator ,capacity to handle 20.
million bushels of grain a year,
and Halifax wants to know why
the "solemn public pledges" made
to the province are not being kept.
At the same time, the prairie
provinces are looking to the new
outlet--opened for experimental
shipments this year-on Hudson
Bay, and further south there is a
demand to-proceed with the deep
sea shipping scheme on the St.
Lawrence, which will enable over-
seas vessels to reach ports some
hundreds of miles "inland" from
Montreal. This is one of the little
problems which keeps the politici-
ans busy.
Baso of Fleet
Durlngthe war, Halifax was one
of the busiest of the Empire's ports.
It was used as the base of the At-
lantic' Fleet, and from its wharves
300.000 soldiers embarked for Eng-
land and France. The port. can ac-
commodate the biggest ships afloat,
and nowadays it is used as a ter-
minal by the big Atlantic liners,
which improve the shining hour by
running' week-end jaunts from
New`York.` In the season just clos-
ed 10,000 tourists took part in these
trips, and thus escaped for a few
days the comparative dryness of
New York. "
'I"he tourist trade in Nova Bootie.
has been one oi the few brilliant
features of a slack year. Figures
issued while we were in Halifax
snowed that 254,000 tourists-a ra-
'oord--had visited the province in
the -five months' season. Nature
madajiovo Bcotia a holiday-mak-
era' paradise. and the Bureau of
Information, by the publication and
alstrlnution or attraetlva booklets,
is capitalizing sn asset which pro-
mises to become more valuable ln
the passing years.
` la halter rattle
` Nova Scotiaf and ill fact eil the
Maritime provinces, claim that
they are in better fettle than the
remainder of Canada. They miss
the extremes of great prosperity
and dcephepresslon, they say.
When other provinces of the Do-

going along nlceZ_, but when their.
neighbors are depressed they can
still raise an occasional smile. Prob-
ably this is because they depend
very largely on primary production,
but at present. they are haviflg
their troubles, too.
The steel and milling industries
of Nova Scotia are practically dead.
and farming and fishing are by no
means prosperous. In former
years, trelnloads of men left the
Maritime provinces at harvest time
for tile prairie fields, but owing to
the introduction of up-to-date ha.:-
vesting machinery their help is no
longer required.
And the fishing fleets have been
decimated by tho- -invasion of
trawlers.
Colonel G. S. Hlllrillgton, the
Premier of Nova Scotia, told. us
that about 20,000 men, equal to four
per cent of tile total population of
the province, were unemployed
The provincial Government; is af-
fording relicf through the munici-
palities, and as many men as poss-
ible are being given employment on
road. works. The Govcmment will
.not consider granting a. dole.
In Canada so far we have founr.
no spectacular methods of dealing
with unemployment. Opposition
members of the Commons are still
urging the appointment of a board
"to handle unemployment. relief."
TIGNISH
Mr. Ed. Brooks, and M.r. John
Hackley, Boston, Moss., spent a
week in Tignish, tile guests of Dr.
and Mrs. Johnston, and returned
