We have a won- derfui trade with the St. John's, Newfoundland, market. where we ship in the vicinity of about 2.000 heed or more of our beef cattle each year along with quite a num- her oi our dairy cattle. our horses, sheep, pigs, and a large amount of produce. “Mr. Speaker, if we are to main- tain and develop this market, it is important that our farmers raise a better quality of beef cattle. Ow- ing to the higher rate of freight and duty to this market, we must have better stock. Inferior stock only tends lo lower the price; be- sides. they will go to some other place for their requirements. This is most important, as thh outlet proved a profitable one for the sur- plus stock of this Province. “Two yearsago I took a trip to St. John's, Newfoundland, and at- tended sales them, at which the shippers lost money. On the follow- ing dly I took the matter up with the Newfoundland Government, to see if the freight rates could not be reduced. and I succeeded in hav- ing the freight rates lowered from $75.00 to $70.00 per ear-load of cattle which moans a saving to our tann- srs of 08.00 per head."

Membe agree if there should arise any dispute likely to sever relations hey will submit the case to arbitration. to judicial settlement or to the League Council, and meantime agree not to resort to war.

The Incarno Treaty was signed in 1925 by France, Germany, Bel- gium, Great Britain and ftaly. It provides that if any of the first three should attack another. the others would join forces against the aggressor. The Anglo-French ac- cord of Feb. 3 last suggested new teeth for this in the proposed mut- ual guarantee against air aggression, BRIAND-KELLOGG PACT In the Briand-Kellogg Pact sign- ed in 192B by the major powers in- cluding the United States and since adhered to by practically all the nations in the world, the signatories "renounce war as an instrument of national policy." Around and about these three in- struments many regional pacts have grown up. The demllitarlzation of the Rhineland is guaranteed by Bri- tain, France, Germany and Italy. Regional guarantees have been giv- en by France to Poland and Czecho- slovakia. The little entente treaties, first of which was signed in 1920, provide regional guarantees between Rumania, Yugoslavia and Czecho- slovakia to preserve the territorial status quo.
