Officers. and mem- bers. This is our fifth annual meeting since the C. W. L. sub division was organized in our parish. During the past year we have had a good deal of sadness occasioned by the loss o. several of our members, also the death of our belovec pastor Rev. P. D. MacGuigan, I-le was a tower ci‘_stiength to our subdivision, h_s advice and appreciat on were a stimulus to our members and to our work. We who remain should be the better because he has pass- ed amongst us and we can do just- ice ‘ his memory by proving worthy of the trust no placed in us. While we mourn his passing we must not be unmindful of the fa- vor conferred on us in the appoint- ment of his successor Rt. Rev. Monsignor McDonald who we hope will appreciate our efforts and take an interest in our work. We have had a very successful year financially. which is shown by that ieport. Catechism was taught in differ- eni districts. Study Clubs were or- Ranized in several 0f the districts. Meetings were held regularly and inte ting subjects were discussed. The onvenor o: church work de- serves ch credit for the efficient manner n which she has done the work for the past year. decorating altars. caring for vestments. mak- lng surplices and soutanes for sanctuary boys, A tter of congratulation was sent to Rt. Rev. Bishop James Morrison of Antigonlsh. who was a former pastor of our parish. on the occasion of his silver jubilee. An acknowledgment was received from him. A unit of thLs subdivision was organized at Stella Mgr-is Church, Earnscliife in October. The dioces- an president. lVLrs. Harold l-lynes was present and she spoke on League activities. Rey. Joseph Trainer. actnlz pastor o.‘ Vernon River parish at" that time. was present. A very fine enlarged picture of Rev. Father MacGuigan was pre- sented to the subdivision by Dr. J. A. Murphy, Rector of . n- man's University, for which we are sincerely grateful. We attended the annual conven- tion held in EOUFS in September. a detailed account of that has been already given. We wish to thunk the members of the C. M. B. . for t e use cf their hall where we held our en- tertalnments. My personal gratitude to the faiihful members of the executive for their generous co-operation and good will during the past year. I may say that it has been a very real pleasure to work with them.

CHAMBERLAIN (Continued from go l) later had said nothing of the kind, and referred Mr. Benn to the re- cord. Mr. Benn said l-lansard quoted Sir Thomas as declaring: "I have said so as plainly as I could," when asked whether his question did not indicate legis- lative machinery for compulsory service. Mr. Chamberlain would add nothing to Sir Thomas’ words. Meanwhile an official an- nouncement was made the Gov- ernment were against "natlonal registration” at the present time. A communique was issued on a meeting between Mr. Chamber- lain and a delegation of Conserva- tive M. P. .

Orlggusllvitwes " ** the lloare Renews Drive For Air Defence Corps By GUY RHOADES Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, May 3l-—Sir Samuel Hoare. home secretary. faced with a lagging response to his March appeal for 1,000,000 air raid pre- caution workers. has started a new drive to enlist women as well as men and bring the voluntary or- ganization to the required strength. The Home Secretary made his second bid for a vest corps of 'civ- ilian defence workers in an aid- dress to the nation in which he traced the progress of the last three months and urged coopera- tion in the Government's efforts to minimize the possibility of panic and wholesale death in the event of aerial attack. Sir Samuel placed the present strength of the citizen defenders at 400.000. dealt with objections he had heard to enlistment. promised individual .instructicn for every family in the United Kingdom in the use of gas masks, in gas-proof- ing homes and dealing with fires that might be started by incend- iary bombs. He. said he knew there were thousands of old and young women pasionately anxious to serve their country in any hour of need. “Be ready for this special appeal when it comes out in the immed- iate future,” he told his women lis- teners, “and bring to this special job the fresh minds. the keen ima- ginatlon and the untirtng devotion that have made women's work a priceless treasure in our national ll e." Sir Samuel said he had heard people say: u-fhese air raid pre- cautions are humbug. Ii the Gov- ernment meant business they would be compillsory. If they were meant to be effective we would be spend- ing hundreds of millions on them instead of 40 or 50." Such criticism was wrong. he de- clared. The Governlment took the project seriously and believed that if the average citizen would play his part an effective system could be established that would check chaos in time of emergency. It believed also that men and women would volunteer for service once they realized the need and were told what to do. The Home Secretary promised persons taking part in A. R.P. drills and suffering injuries while on duty would be compensated so that their families would not suf- fer as a result of their lost work- ing time. Government Rebuffed On Arms Speel-up (C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) MORIXEAJVIIBE, Lancashire, Eng- land, May Ill-The British Gov- ernmints desire that union work- ers involved in the rearmament program sacrifice some of their privileges to speed up production was rebuffed on behalf of engin- eers and mechanics by the Am- algamated Engineering Union's national committee tonight. By unanimous vote the com- mittee in annual session warned it "would not tolerate" any dim- inution of workers‘ rights and privileges. Prior to this it debated. but finally shelved, an even stronger resolution, withholding support from the arms program until assurances were forthcoming from the Government that it would base its foreign policy on collective security. The resolution finally passed eliminated all references to for- eign policy iri favor of a purely professional statement of atti- tudes.

P. by Guardian's Special Wire) OTTAWA, May Ill-More infor- mation should be Gflllled o" m9 relation between small loans to purchasers. and business depres- sions before Canadian chartered banks are encouraged to engage in a greater volume of consumers credit. it was stated today in the report adopted by the BankinE and Commerce Committee of the House of Commons on the small loan bilsincrs. The report. written by Cnair- man W. n. Moore (Lib. Ontario), was adopted aftu" the committee passed a draft bill asserting Fed- eral jurisdicticn over the small loan business. The report, WEN/Gil by Chairman W. H. Moore (Lib. Ontario). was adopted after the committee pass- ed a draft bill asserting Federal urisdlctlon over the small loan usiness and making the maxi- mum monthly rate chargeable on unpaid balances two per cent. The Canadian banking system is generally regarded as organized to finance industrial production and for trade and commerce, the report said.

"As custodians of the people's ssvlnss. it may well be that die chartered banks should not be called upon to arrange their in. vestments so that, in the unfor. tunate event of crisis, we snonid fllld Public savings converted in- to small loans on personal secur- ity which, under normal condi- tions, are regarded as tolerably safe only when administered by highly specialized organization." The report said the one Can- adian bank making small loans re- quires “endorsation which many borrowers cannot provide and it assumed rejects applications that contain a substantial ele- ment of risk or i" "sent a pros- pect of undue cost in supervising collections." The state can intervene advan- tageously over rates only within a limited field, the report. continues. A legislative rate at which money is not obtainable is of no use. "In the debates over the subject it, would almost seem to have been at times forgotten that to 16515" late a maximum rate is an in- unctlon than if people cannot borrow at the prescribed rate they cannot borrow at all." the NW" said.

Foreman. traffic manager. Foreign" freight department. Canadian Na- tional Railways. L A.W. Doherty. general freight traffic manager. Canada Steamship Lines Lid, W. M. Kirkpatrick. foreign freight traffic manager. Canadian Pacific Railway Company and F. O. Day- ton, managing director. Tree Line Navigation Co, Lid. The action of the railways was anticipated in the brief of the Transportation Commission pres- ented last February before the Na- tional Harbors Board at Halifax and Saint John in protest against the proposed changes 1n rates. The Tran=portatlon Commislori at that time recommended “that a scale of top ivrarfa-ge chargas be drafted that. will no; increase the costs of the rail carriers doing busi- ness at the ports of Halifax and Saint John." May Seriously Affect The Maritimo Port! It was further contended thi . ln the event the railways refused to a-bsorb the increases on through traffic it would tend to disrupt the so-called port differential relation- ship in rates established between United States and Canadian ports In this connection the North Atlan- tic ports are relatively equalized in export and import trade and im- post rail mte". from and to the prin- cipal producing centres ot‘ Eastern Canada and the United States. Ill is patent therefore that. if shippers are compelled to my charges through Canadian ports as compared with United States rts tine traffic will tend to move the cheaper route all other fac- tors equal.
