Carmichael similar fate by a vote of 108 to ill. The division on the amendment saw Conservatives lined up with members of the U. F‘. A. group in silpport. Premier Mackenzie King said that the government had bcengiving con- sideration to the question of nation- al highways for some time. But, he proceeded, if the purposclof this re- solution was to commit the govern- ment to make grants towards provin- cial highways, the government did ' not feel that the present time was opportune. The Dominion had spent large amounts to’ "supplement" the funds of the ‘provincial governments, but received little credit for its action in this connection. The government could not grant all the requests for expenditures made, and at the same time ac oniplislr a reduction _of taxes. Practice Economy "Practice economy," lntcrjected Mr. Bennett. The cost of a. national transconti- nental highway’ was calculated by the department of railways and ca- iials in the neighborhood of $50,000 a mile. Such a. highway would cost c200,00o,00b to complete. Nor, said Mr. ‘King, did this figure include the sub- Btqucut cost of upkeep which would be considerable on a. route of an es- timated length oi 4,000 miles. Extension of Canada's Notional Air mail service would serve much more effectively. Hon. R. Ii. Bennett, leader of the Opposition, declared that if the ilrline minister had confined himself to facts he would not have risen but in consideration of the paltry reasons which the premier had given he felt it incumbent to speak. Mr. Bennett pointed to the limi- tations imposed on the provinces by the British North America Act with respect to sourcos of revenue. But no limitation had been placed upon the federal government. The question was how pressing were the necessit- ics of taxation. The same citizens We"? Paying the taxes.

Al- though the exact origin of the blaze is as yet undetermined it is believed to have started from an overheated flue, near the office quarters on the second floor and was making great headway when first noticed. The building, one of the oldest in the city. having been built in i891, is o’! three storey structure, occupied on the first floor by the Menzies Music Store and Harry Grant's liaberdash- ery, while on the second floor are contained the recreation rooms and business office of the Y.

James Fitzmaurico first negotiated a. westward air crossing of of the North Atlantic, says he has decided definitely on the flight, and probably will select Lisbon, the Azores and Bermuda as refueling points. Col. Pitamsurlce and two others ll yet unnamed are expected to accom- pany him in what is described as purely an experimental venture, made to ascertain the possibilities of rc- fiiellng on trans-oceanic commercial flights. A three-motored machine of the type designated as G-M, will be used. It is expected the trip will take about 50 hours. ed that the application of great na- tional policies had not brought to all progress, therefore there must be compensating adjustments made un- der that union. The prime minister, Mr. Bennett went on, had used the tcriu “vicious principle" in referring to what the premier had termed the "generosity of the federal authorities toward the provinces." "If that statement is sound," Mr. Bennett declared, "would the old age pensions scheme have passed the House!" "l have come to that conclusion since," Premier King interjectcd. The prime minister was now con- demning a principle which he had formerly asked parliament to sup- port, Mr. Bennett declared, and he alleged that the government was experimenting in things better loft alone. "We contend on this side of the House," said Mr. Bennett, "that by application of simple business acu- men to the estimates, sufficient might be saved to allow sovcmmwi assistance for both technical educa- tion and this federal highway?’ "Hockey at Stanley.

Alfred James Watts. Donald R. Kennedy. Charles W. S. Bentley. Comrade Victor Coyle favored those present with a solo and Com- rade Hamilton playcd a violin selec- tion. Mr. Walter MacNutt presided at the piano. Comrade T. E. MacNutt read a pa- per on the trip of the 105th Battalion overseas on the Empress of Britain. Major George H. Huger of Halifax was a visitor. A unanimous standing vote of ap- proval was given to the action of the Executive- Council in recommending Comrade Arthur G. Peake to fill the office of Lieutenant-Governor of this Province when next vacant. Strong and enthusiastic speechos were made by several present supporting the ac- tion, and especially so by men who served under Colonel Peaks overseas, and had Colonel Peaks been present at the time he would have been much gratified in hearing of the splendid ‘support given by all who spoke. The resolution stressed the fact that a man's services to his country l in the Military Forces of Canada are well worthy of recognition and that such services, in the days of stress ‘and strain of war, are of greater im- portance to the welfare of the Em- pire, than any service that the state could ask of him in terms of pesos. As reasons for such recommenda- tions, the resolution set forth Col. Peakes services in the Canadian Mi- litia since boyhood; his choice as the officer to represent the Province at the Coronation of King George; his organization of the 2nd and 8th siege batteries, it being while he was in command of the latter in France that he was seriously wounded, and his social qualifications for the office. It was resolved that copies be for- warded to the Prime Minister of Ca- null. and members of his cabinet, The regular monthly meeting of the Canadian Legion was held last (lovers Prince Edward Island Like the Dow.
