BRUSHTFIRES
Overcast skies and showers
throughout Prince Edward Island
yesterday brought relief toanxious
farmers and proveda God-send to
terrified residents of forest-fire
areas in Tyne Valley and Bt. Pet-
ers.
The long-sought rain came car-
1y yesterday morning after 29
days of drought. Some of the root
crops were destroyed by thc long
diy spell and early wheat in many
parts of the province did not fill,
but the moisture was not entirely
te late and will be of great
benefit to perched farm and
woodhnds.
With no further damage to
property reported and fires in this
district confined to the woods,
residents last night took well-
earncd rest as the skies opened
and heavy showers poured down
on sn ldering woodlands- It was
believed the menace would be
wiped out by morning.
The blaze broke out at Ellerslie
Monday and swept across 2,000
acres of valuable wood lots de-
stroying f"r homes and three
barns lying in its path. Damage
could not be estimated last night
but it was said to run into thous-
ands of dollars.
Fir:-fighting' equipment from
O'Leary left the scene Wednesday
night and residents who had been
battling the blame-front turned in
for their first nights :ost in four
days.
Heavy showers poured down on
thickly-wooded Goose River ,dis-
trict last night striking a telling
blow to forest-fires which have
ravaged woodlands there for the
past foiir days.
The fires had raged through the
thick tlmberland until shortly
after noon yesterday when the
first drops of rain were felt. Last
night with .the sky overcast and
rein still pouring down. the flames
had died.
Eight buildings in the fire-area
were destroyed since the out-
break Monday night and a tract
of timber "ve miles square was
wiped out. ,
No flames could be seen last
night _-.ld farmers who had been
standing guard of their homes re-
tircd to their beds after a four-
day watch.
One home in the centre of the
destroyed woodland district stood
unscnthed yesterday, having es-
caped miraculously when the blaze
was at its height. Flames were said
to have been burning on all sides
of the building at one time. The
occupants. Mr. Angus McIntyre
and family, escaped unhar-med.

assured a Social Credit Government
tonight as a 15 year reign by tho
United Farmers of Alberta came to
an end.
And with the success ofthe Al-
berta Social Credit League at the
polls came the opportunity for
"baaic dividends" for all adult Al-
bertans and the new economic deal
promised by Social Credit support-
ers.
At ll p.m. (3. a.m. A.D.T.) the
Social Credit League had elected 23
members to the Legislature, and
W. R.. I-Iowsan, Liberal leader, was
the only other party member elect-
ed. All of the Social Credit mem-
bers will be entering the Legisla-
ture for the first time.

Eighteen seats that went to
Social Credit nominees previously
were in the 'United Farmers of
Alberta column, two were held by
Liberals, two by Independent mem-
bers rntl one by Labor.
Premier Rleid, lacing defeat in
Vermilion- conceded defeat of his
Government- William Aborhart,
leader of the Social Credit league,
would make no clmment. While
not a candidate, Mr. Abcrharr in-
dicated he would accept the prem-
iership if his party were success-
ful at the polls.
Three Cabinet members-Hon.
Perren Baker, Hon. George Houd-
ley and Hon. J. J. Mactcllan-
had gone down to defeat and all

Will Uphold League Covenant
The cabinet emphasized. the in-
formant sa-id, its determination to
support the covenant of the
league and all treaties.
He added the League of Nations
must decide the type of sanctions
to be employed in event of hostil-
ities and how forcefully they are
likely to be employed.
(The authoritative Italian news-
paper Giornale d'Italia said today
"sanctions mean war”).
Brltaln's leaders, however, voted
to maintain a policy against single-
handed British action or sanctions
alone against the aggressor-in
other words the cabinet decidea
Britain will not become a lone po-
liceman lf’ other powers "dodge"
treaty and League obligations.
The cabinet surprised most
quarters by temporarily maintain-
ing the ban on arms exports to
both Ethiopia and Italy. Mainten-
ance of the ban was regarded as a.
gesture to Italy.
New Peace Moves
New peace moves toward Italy
were initiated at the urgent request
of Premier Laval of France. Laval.
it was leamed. urged Hoare and
Eden to approach Mussolini fur-
ther in diplomatic channels-
Britain will make overture-s di-
rect and in conjunction with Laval.
'I‘he two governments will continue
to explore the possibilities of a
peaceful solution right up to and
including the Geneva meeting.
If their peace efforts break
down, then proposals for sanctions
will follow, the Associated Press
was told.
The cabinet agreed a formal ao-
proach to the United States on the
question of cooperation outside the
League is not necessary at present.
The Associated Press was told
Britain will go to any length under
the covenant jointly with other
powers to try to prevent war.
Premier Stanley Baldwin left
London tonight to rcsumo his in-
terrupted vacation.

LONDON, Aug. 22-Great Britain, an advised inform-
ant told the Associated Press tonight, will' go to any
length under the League covenant. to try to prevent war
If other powers join her, he said, she will subscribe
not only to financial and economic pressure upon the ag-
gressor but to the use of military, naval and air sanctions.
(In other words display of force). She will even consider
joint closure of the Suez Canal.
The informant' said the cabinet, in emergency session
today, decided to seek a peaceful settlement by every pos-
sible device but, if that fails, to advocate the use of the
strongest League instrumentaiities provided-and this was
definite-she does not stand alone. Britain does not intend

Former Official
Of Agriculture
Dept. On Visit
Dr. J. L. Tennant, who was con-
nected with the Department of
Agriculture here from' 1914 to 1919,
and who is now engaged in econ-
omic research work in Rhode Is-
land State College, is now revisit-
ing scenes of his former labours.
He is accompanied by Mrs. Ten-
nant who twenty years ago came
here as a bride. They are renew-
ing many old acquaintanceships.
On leaving Prince Edward Is-
land in 1919, Mr. Tennant pro-
ceeded to Comell University, from
which he received the degrees of
M.S-A. and Ph.D. He specialized in
agricultural economics in market-
ing. Subsequently he held several
important posts in Texas and oth-
er states. He has been engaged in
his present work of research in
connection with fluid milk market-
ing in Rhode Island since 1928.
Last June he attended conferences
of agricultural economists in Ger-
many, England and Scotland.
'I'he most important agricultural
product in Rhode Island is fluid
milk, states Mr. Tennant. Market-
ing the product constitutes a real
problem. Poultry, market garden
crops and fruit follow milk in rr-
der of importance, It is a common
thing to see eighty to ninety cows
on twenty acres of land.
Mr. and Mrs. Tennant note
many changes in Charlottetown in
sixteen years. During the next few
days they plan to drive through
the Island to revisit familiar
scenes. They will remain in the
province till Monday or Tuesday
next.
