The tea; tables were set out on the lawn undel- boughs of evergreen and garlands oi flowers. A very de- licious supper was served. Two an- niversary cakes. beautifully decora- ted with golden bells were cut by the bride and groom later in the cv- ening and served with ice cream. Before the evening shadows fell Mr. A.

Occasions like this remind us that time is swiftly passing: but for Mr. and Mrs. Phillips the years have been pleasant ones and the many lovely gifts and messages oi con- gratuiatiorls are tokens that they have many staunch friends who have valued their friendship through the years.

Known as grain exchange rule no. l. the restriction governing sales of wheat made effective last Aug. l6. was rescinded by the council of the exchange alter it met to consider the new minimum wheat price of 87 1-2 cents a bushel as set by the Canadian Wheat Board. The regulation read: "No sales of any wheat future authorized for trading shall be made except: " (o) Such’ sales are of futures contracts purchased prior to the time of sale; (b) as hedges against wheat. purchases cfwheat, or wheat products. originating in Canada; (c) as spreading between different delivery months in wheat in this market: id) such sales are made and closed ouf by purchases in one and the same market session." It was this clause which virtu- ally closed the market to spccula- tors and also made the building up of a line of short wheat almost an impossibility. The latest move cf the exchange council means the market wul now operate with only one restriction. namely the daily range of futures quotations shall notexoeed three cents a bushel, higher or lower. than the closing prices of the pre- vious session. This particular reg- ulation unifies to all grain futures except flax on which there is a permitted range of five cents. Prime Minister Plans Dominion p Widle Tour (C. P. By Glllrdlsnk Spools!

B.. Sept. 8- Notwithstanding what Liberal lead- er Mackenzie King says. increase of Canada's external trade is not the solution of this country's prob. lems. Hon. H. H. Stevens. Recon- struction leader, said he“ 15st; night. Bttfimpied to increase trade with cther countries he would find him- self hampered by almost prohibi. tive duties against Canadian pro- ducts as well as by the terms of 22 favored nations treaties negoti- iii-ed by the last King administra- on. In a voice husky from persistent speaking-he addresed three meet- ihss today-the Reconstruction par- tv leader warned his audience not "lobe deluded by a pitcl-Lnnd-tbg; ti"! same between Messrs Ben- nett and King. "Mr. King d"es not dare to lower the tariff on commodities made by those who are friends of his party. Mr. Bennett won't offend his friends either." Mr. Stevens laid down the pfln- ciple tariff should be based on pro- tection to the Canadian workers Passed on to them. Deals With Fisheries A swift rnztor trip. with stops for meetings at Si. Andrews and St. Stephen, brought the Recon- struction paxty leader here for the fourth meeting of his Maritime trip. At St. Andrews Mr. Stevens dealt with the plight of fishermen asserting big concerns dominating the fish industry had "fallen down hopelessly in establishing a reas- onable systcm of marketing." There was a. great market for fish in Central Canada, but it lay there almost undeveloped. "There are practically no fish stores in Onta- 1'1‘) and Quebec cities. Sale of fish there is a mere sldelline in both chain and independent stores." With respect to the export fish market. the Reconstruction party leader, undertook. if returned to power. to establish a branch of government for dcvelaping this.

It might be possible to effcctwancr- rangement whereby Canadian wheat and fish were excljnged for Ger- man farm tractors. v Canadian farmers would never be rewtablished by "Prim/e Minis- ter Bennett and Japan snarling at each other over tariff matters." Mr. Stevens said the Prime Minister "in his last valedictory address" indi- cated he was going to announce measures for assisting fanners. and then "went on for seven para- graphs to discuss his raw with Ja- pan." That was useless. The way to reestablish the fennel- was to see he got fair prices for his pro- duce from packers. canners. dairy companies. The Reconstruct/lea party, if letumed to power pro- posed to set up boards to do this. Sees Possibilities “Farmer in this COUIltN should be prosperous. but they're not." Mr. Stevens said in referring to the wonderful possibilities 0i New Brunswick as a dairying and cat- tle fin-fishing province. Owing to activities of financial interests in merging individual dairies into huge corporations, the Canadian dairy farmer was today unable to get a decent price for his butter fat. One organization alone had "a. strange hold over many of Canada's farming sections." They are selling milk today on the farms of Canada at prices which will not permit farmers to survive except in penury.“ he said. "In Canada there is greater concentration of wealth than in ‘any country of the world and it is going steadily on Mr. Stevens told his St. Stephen audience. A tremendous redistribution of weath had been carried out in Great Britain through the so-called "ra- tionalisation of industry." A doz- en men control half the wealth of Canada. Did they ever get toge- ther durlng these past five years of distress and try to evolve n plan to help the people cut of their troubles? Not much.

The British here have received no advice regarding the rumored three-power conference in north- ern Italy.

They said the project had been submitted by the manager of the railroad and that they understood it was supported by Laval. If traffic were interrupted. Eth- iopia could not import medicinal supplies nor certain food essen- tials- The suggestion was advanced that the railroad might be placed under the protection of the Red Cross to which Emperor Haile Selassie pledged his adherence. The French delegation said it had no knowledge oi a London re. port that Premier Mussolini had given assurance to Premier Laval he would not resort to hostilities while the dispute is in the hands of the League.

Officials said the govemmentb attitude, now that a. five-power committee has been named by the League Council to deal with the dlmutc. was virtually the same as when the council last met to ex- amine the Italo-Ethiopian con- troversy. Skeptical of League Results Authorities said Italy was skepti- cal as to whether anything could be accomplished at Geneva which would be acceptable to Italy or which would be effective in avert- ing hostilities. The reasons given for this atti- tude were: l. Italy has no great confidence in the efficacy of the League. 2. Italy insists the East African controversy is not one with which the League should concern itself. 3. The committee select-rd to study the problem has. in France and Great Britain, two members with special interests in the is- suc-a fact regarded here as jeop- ardizing seriously the usefulness of the body.

The discouraged Premier even fears. his advisers said. a breaking down of his complicated scheme for European peace. “Pessimism ls the watchword," they asserted. Laval. alone in his offim after returning from Geneva. where he was named by the League Council to a five-power committee to deal with the crisis, was said to have obtained a. little, comfort from telephone calls to Rome and to Geneva. Worried Over Sanctions Officials said the question of application of sanctions was troub- ling the Premier, and that he hoped to avoid any such punitive measure. They expressed doubt. however, that he League would remain silent when and if Italians started fighting in Ethiopia. “The first cannon shot. will be the signal for league action," said one lesponslble source. "Until then. sanctions cannot be discussed. But if one power raises the question, how can the League avoid it?" The League. they said, “is there- fore unabfe to wash its hands n! the Italo-Ethiopian affair. yet in- terferenceto halt war, once start- ed, will be a disturbing factor for Europe's peace."
