Had Mr. Bennett not tied lilac hands of the govern- ment with the Empire pacts some o; moss pu-oductsmlght have been included. In November, 1984, continued Mr. King. the Canadian Minister sug- gested l-llflfg we're no obstacles in me way of a treaty on stipulated grounds. The only reason this did no: result, Mr, King said, was the attitude of Mr. Bennett. " it was the purposc of his govern- ment, Mr. King said, and he felt sure of the Bennett administration also, to negotiate a fair and 800078 treaty, helpful to both countries. Neither Canada nor the United States tried to get the bettcr oi the other in negotiations. The surest way to destroy the treaty, Mr, King said, would be for ono country tc get more than the other. It was for a three-year period but it could go on indefin- itely after that if both countries agreed. The treaty was s. begin- ning. s. step in the right direction. Ho believed it would not only con- tinue in force after the three-year limit but would be eapanded. The government realised no time was to be lost if an agreement was is be obtained. said Mr. King. Mr. Bennett had suggested there had been undue haste but every con- ceivable angle of the treaty situ- ation had been canvsdsed by gov- eminent officials under m. Ben- neit and their knowledge was avail- able to the new government. Th9 country had already given an overwhelming mandate to the government to effect the 88m!- ment. and to effect it. without delay. Liberals were in a different po- sition from Conservatives in nego- tiating ss they had taken the stand duties on implements of production were much too high. This enabled the government to offcr conces- slons to the United States a Con- servative government could not oi- u Favored Nation Agreements Referring to the main features of the treaty. Mr. King outlined the articles and what they meant. ‘mere was ons feature not im- mediately apparent-Canada would receive the benefits of flvdivd- nation agreements negotiated by Washington. This would rnako tho twuv increasingly beneficial to Canada. If no treaty had been negotiated. Card of Thanks Mrs. John Mscliae and family ‘ll-sh to sincerely thank all who sent M": Cards, letters and cards of ‘Ymosthy; also kind neighbours and Mend! for mam acts of kindness Ihown them during their recent sad vement. L-llTlt-i-M-li N. D. MacLean- there was no guarantee, Mr. King said, that fiansda would continue to have the tariff rates given to favored-nation countries. Washing- ton gave notice to all countries it intended to levy the higher of its two tariff rates against countries not willing to sign treaties. There was also a danger some of the items Canada supplied the United Stains under free entry would be placed on a dutiable basis. Tno most important of these was newsprint paper which could be produced from southern pine. Increasing demands wee being made on Washington for a tariff against Canadian newsprint, While complaints had been made that insufficient concessions had been obtained on fish the conces- sions obtained were important and in no case was the fishing indus- try pissed in s worse position than before the treaty. . Concessions granted the United States meant, in most cases, con- sidersblo advantages for Canadian pr ‘ n as well as consumers, said Mr. King. In many cases they related to materials or implements of ,. ’ ‘ion and requests for tar- iff reductions on them had been of long standing. The treaty eliminated the tariff on magazines which had ranged as high as lb cents a copy previously. m. King said. If Mr. Bennett had continued in his attcmpt to give favored-nation treatment to the United States, the magazine tariff would have d‘ appeared as well. Codllah, Potatoes Due to depressed conditions in the United States it was impossible .to obtain concessions on codfish and potatoes, Mr. Kinl explain . On the basis of 1920 prices, the valuo of Canadian exports to the United States affected by the treaty was more than $325,000,000, Mr. King said. It was true the iri- tcrmedlste rates were extended by Canada but they were protective rates. designed to protect Canadian indlltrles against Products from other!‘ countries with much lower living standards than the United States. In addition. with the ex- ception of a. few items, Parliament retained the right to change the intermediate rates if injustices were found. Tho treaty, Mr. King said, would be takon by all countries as a move in the direction of promoting trade "on a mutually beneficial basis when the world has 800° Pfotty nearly mad in the direction of eo- onomic nationalism." The treaty, Mr. King concluded. was an attempt to "break the hard crust of economic nationalism." It would open the way to larger trade to the benefit of pi ‘ucers, con- sumers and the railways. It would increase purchasing power and hell) to lift Canada from the sloulh 0! depression. "I greatly regret I cannot support this resolution," said Conservative leader Bennett, "I regret it very sincerely." He did not propose, he said. to deal with this treaty in the scri- monious spirit with which Mr. King same case and was also remanded. The investigation was conducted by the R. O. M. P.

The uuln: uuuiu cuuucu illllll u: Ell u u Petition From Rustico Fishermen Presen- ted — Several Other Matters Discussed. At s. special meeting of the council of theCbarlottetown Board yesterday a resolution the petition of the- fis for s fish curing plant and a competent man to take charge, be brought to the attention of Mr. Peter Sin- oleir, M. P. The Board also re- quested thst leadership and as- sistance be given the fishermen of Rustioo in curing and marketing r- -. Tho resolution was by Mr/R. ll‘. Mutch and seconded by Mi‘. J. O- Hyndman. Mk‘. Mutch brought the matter to the attention of the Board by presenting a petition addressed to the Minister of Fisheries, the Hon. J. E. Micbaud. and signed by '12 fishermen of Rustico, in which they asked the Department "to place with us s. competent man. or men, who will take charge of the curing, packinfl. and market- ing of our cod, haddock, hake and mackerel. Suitable premises will be provided st reasonable rental where fishermen will deliver their catch each day to be taken charge of by the Government's agent and handled by him in such a way as to assure a properly cured article, but up in a proper manner and placed on the market at a proper price. The proceeds of the salg to be divided among .ths parties sup- plying the plant in the proportion to their deliveries.” Mr. George J. Tweedy, K, 0,, claimed that legislation would be necessary before tho fishermen would be able to carry out such s scheme of co-w, “ n. Mr. Mulch said that. a similar plan had been in operation there already in the case of lobster; and the proposed scheme would only apply the idea. to all kinds of fish and also include more fishermen. Mr. J. 0. Hyndman agreed with Mr. MutchyDr. Clark and Col. G. E. Full also took part in the dis- cussion. As a result of the dis- cussion the Board did not directly support the petition as the fisher- men had asked although support- ing tho idea of a. somewhat sim- ilar plan. A letter was read from the King's County Liberal Assn. stat- ing that they understood that there was a strong force working to hayg a hard surfaced road laid from Charlottetown to Souris via Mt. Stewart. The letter went on to state that the distance was the same via the Town Road and Montague and by going that way would serve more people and sub- mltted a map and figures from Post Office records and car reg- istration books ln support of the statement. The letter was signed by Mr. E. D. Dunn, secretary of the King's County Liberal Assn}, and asked the Board to use what influence it had to have the road go by Montague. On motion the matter was left over until next meeting. A resolution was presented from the track forces employed on the P. ~E. I. division of the Canadian National Railways and. passed by them at a meeting on Saturday. It proteste‘ gslnst the proposed re-arrangcment of the sections by reducing the number and making proposal is to lengthen the sections by about one third. That would mean- that where there are now 43 sections in the Province with one foreman and two men to each, under the new arrangement there would be 30 sections and one foreman and three men to each. It would mean that 13 foreman would either lose their jobs or be demoted, differ- ent speakers at the meeting point- ed out. , Afwr discussion thc matter was hr':i over until further infor- mation could be obtained from the railway authorities. The board felt» they could not act until they had heard both sides of the question. Letters were read from the Sen- ators and. Federal members sc- knowledging the resolutions for- warded by the Board of Trade asking for the double sir service, and that the "Lady Boa. " or some other suitable steamship call here. They statcd that the matters would be given careful consider- ation. On motion of Mr. Mulch and seconded by Dr. Clarkgthe three resolutions regarding air mall, harbor improvement and steam- ship service will be presented to the Premier of this Province at a meeting to be arranged for in the near future. Mr. Wallace Higgins reported that the question of having the S.

Nothing defin- ite had been decided on yet, how- The question of the general mestiag in Charlottetown to d:- cuss e proposed bridges was d - cussed and on mot-ion it Wig de- cided to call a general meeting , nsored by the Board of Trade and to be hsld'ln the Board Room of the Cit Building.

O. O. F. Hall last night. It consisted of an imaginary pleasure trip to Europe on the "Three Links” ship calling at various ports where en- tertainers gave selections more or less typical of the place. The hall was decorated to represent s. ship's dock and was complete with crew and all a ship's fittings. A large number of Oddfellows and Rebe- kah; were in attendance and all voted the evening a signal success and complimented those responsible for the idea very highly. The first call was at Belfast, Ire- land, where the Misses Ruby Mac- Dougall and Hazel Henry gave a comic dialogue which was heartily applauded by the audience who were delighted with the novel idea of the cruise. Glasgow, Scotland was tho next port of call and. the audience was delighted with a Highland fling and sword dance by the Misses Arma- bclle Lawson and Joan MoIntyz-e. The music was supplied by Piper Norman MacKenzie. At London. England, stop s. char- acter song was given by Mr. Stuart Dickson. A pleasing intermission , was filled in by a deck dance in which audience joined. Music was sup- pllcd By "the Three Musketeers" consisting of Messrs. Acorn, Groom and. Morrison.

Mr. George Bears in two comic songs was the attraction at Boston while at Sydney, Cape Breton, a step dance by Mr. Alex Brown and the Sailors Hornpipe by Miss Frances Clawson provided the en- tertslnment. Another deck dance then took place and at‘ Montreal it was fol- lowed by rrench songs by Mrs- Mlller and the Chamiimde Chorus in French Peasant costume.

It was not so much a. matter of speed with these people but the necessity of having the same ad- vantages as other farmers. Public opinion must be active, and must be organized. There was a great opportunity and s. greater need of employment Fifteen per cent of the people of Charlottetown were on relief. There were about five thousand out of work on Prince Edward Island at present, and idle relief camps would never solve the problem. Instead, getting s. lot of idle men together with s. grievance led to worse conditions. Young healthy people wanted wonk, and two or three years work which the whole country could take part in. as a. lot of lumber, clay and stone would be required. The Rev. l). K. Ross strongly favored the work. l-iis duties wok him to the south snore. l-le knew the inconveniences these people were up against and would back up the work. ‘lilo people of Cornwall were brothers to the people in the dis- tricts that ‘had to sufler handicaps, and for that reason alone he thought they should support it. Trué, times were hard, but these people had waited a long time. When times were good other dis- tricts got what they wanted, and the South Shore people never ob- jected. Now it is their turn, and- monoy is scarce. Whether money is plentiful or not seems to rnske little difference, and now they are tired of it all and excuses won't do. The people of this section talked of railways. They got neither railways nor roads, After all iahese yea-rs of being put off, there has been noth- ing for the south. Mr- Walter R. Shaw gave a most interesting speech on the class of farmers all through the section right from Summerside down through Bedeque, Victoria, Tryon, down the West. River, New Wiltshire, North Wiltshlre, North River, the South Shore through to Cornwall. They were among the best, farmers. He had always lived amongst them and was proud to champion their cause. Good tax-payers are what the government needs, and they should be encouraged. He did not know of a vacant farn "i these sections. They were all good farm- ers, with very few kickers among them. Farming is their business, and they are handicapped in reach- ing the markets. All other sections are shouting for paved roads. The people of this section were not fairly treated in comparison to other sections who had both rail- roads and paved roads running parallel. There are no improved roads in this section, and now that they are asking for the bridge pro- Jflots, which will put them on the same footing as other farmers, they "T9 b61118 told there is no money.

Now more are no schooners or gasoline boats doing this work, and shipping is solely dependent on trucks, and their need for a good road and s shorter trip to Charlottetown is very important. All the people were united, and the people of Charlottetown partic- ularly no doubt would bencfit large- ly by thesc projects. He stated that the north shorejs getting its paved roads to shipping points, but noth- ing is being dons for the south shore sections- He complimented Mr. Arthur Gaudet, ss did a number of the other speakers, on the publicity he had been giving this under his own name in the press. Mr. Gordon Maeldlllan stated the people of Cornwall and Charlotte- town could bank on him for his en- tire support, and he could not un- derstand anybody from that side of the river to Borden having any ob- jections. He thanked the other speakers for their remarks.

Wright Shoe Company Purchases Former Goff Business It is learned that the above com- pany have purchased from the Na- tional Shoc Chain the old and favorably known shoe business for- merly operated by Goff Bros. in this city. Possibly the oldest still ex- istent Shoe Store, this combines under one ownership the only two Shoe stores that have had a. con- tinuous‘ and successful run fc: over fifty years in Charlottetown. The new addition will be operatcd under the name of the Economy Shoe Store and as its name signifies will provide lower priced footwear for which the demand is at present strong. ticularly from bad to wows. Mr. Han-y Hyde thought there should be no difference of opinion as to the value of the projects, and that they should back up the sec- tions of the country particularly south shore, who suffered more. He also said we have one of the clever- est men at Ottawa representing Queens County, and. no doubt if this thing was put fairly up to him he would sec our needs. Men want to work and he thought, the people of this section could not bc charged with selfishness by urging for the bridge to start, and to start at once. The people of all these districts, he thought, had a. very strong case. Mr. Ernest Leonard also made fiting remarks as to thr. necessity of the work. After the speeches, the same re- solution as was adopted at Afton Hall was passed, and all the meet- ing signed it. A delegation was ap- pointed to wait on the Board of Trade Thursday evening next. At the close of the meeting a vote of thanks was extended to all the speakers, and also for the work that Mr. Arthur Gaudet had done in keeping after this in the paper. Mr. Cvaudet was also asked to say some- thing, and his remarks were more or less along the lines that he had been greatly interested in the work and believed there was a neat fut- ure for both Charlottetown and this section of the country. It. would open up a great intercourse of busi- ness to Charlottetown. It was the duty of cities to reach out for lr-si- ness from its rich outlying sections, and for that reason he believed that everybody in Charlottetown was backing the undertaking and that their sympathy went out to the people cf the south shore, just the same as that of the people of com- wsll. They wanted the south shore people to havo the privilege of shop- ping in Charlottetown and enjoying the facilities of the city just tho same as the people in other districts close to tho city. lie stated that they had come to Cornwall last ev- ening by the new national highway of the route as it would be should through Cornwall to Borden. were entertain wlltdl‘ BMW‘ IQQOQI. n '51s ' ‘ ‘ and little hope was held for hi; recovery from the 0 I t 25—(A.P.)—-Celebrators revelled in the spirit of Mardl Gras tonight while police were confronted with a mysterious slaying in which a young woman me 4 A bullet in the head ended the carnival celebration of Mrs. Estelle Hughes, Z9.
