OTTAWA, Nov. 15. -- Replying to luestions on soldiers problems put i'orward by the Dominion Command, 3reat War Veterans Association, to the leaders of the three political parties, Right Hon. Arthur Meighen de-ala.os that he is in favor of legislation enabling the permanent addition of the present bonus to the pension rates if, af;er a reasonable time, experience shows that the cost of "It seem to me, though," Mr. Meighen states, "the best way to deal with such a subject and to receive such recommendations as to making it permanent or not, is through the medium of a joint parliamentary enquiry such as has been adopted with Mr. Meighen does not think that the relation established by past committees between the total received in pensions and the cost of living, should be affected to the disadvantage of the pensioner. Dealing with the question relating to the pension proposal of a monthly rate of one dollar per. one per cent, of disability, Mr. Meighen says that he is advised that pensions awarded to married disabled pensioners are in practically every case higher than the payment suggested. The Prime Minister replies in favor of immediate steps toward the relief of unemployment and points to the measures already taken to relieve unemployment by assisting in municipal works through the winter With regard to housing and legislation providing small holdings for ex-service men and women, Mr. Meighen points out that existing housing legislation has been put in effect in many parts of the country "with the very best results." He is in favor of continuing this policy, but is of the opinion that the matter of small holdings should be again referred to the Joint Committee of Parliament. The G.W.V.A. asked if Mr. Meighen favored immigration and naturalization legislation "ensuring preservation of British traditions with rigorous application of such policy as regards Asiatic immigration," Mr. Meighen 'replies that he is in favor of such laws as ensure the preserv-'ation of British traditions, arid also favors the honest enforcement of these iaws as regards all classes of Mr. Meighen says he is in favor of action, where necessary, providing for the complete"re-establishment of then Major Andrews, M.P., of Winnipeg, who classifies himself as a Liberal in the Parliamentary Guide, but who was elected in 1917 as a Unionist, in announcing his intention to support Mr. Meighen, is thus reported: "Canadian industry is founded on protection. Remove the foundation and down comes the house. Half the people in Canada would probably suffer and there are too many out of work now. If Canadian industries were stifled and manufactured products entirely imported, what would be the effect for Canadian workingmen? I have been a free trader all my life, but am so no longer. To buy in the cheapest market, irrespective of the conditions under which the workers produce, to sell in the dearest market, irrespective of the necessities of the buyer, is pure jumble".

OTTAWA, Nov. 15. -- Alternative schemes to be submitted by the Canadian and United States Government engineers for the power and navigation development of the St. Lawrence Deep Waterways System were placed before the International Joint Commission here on Monday by representatives of the Ontario Hydro-Eleciric Commission and by W. S. Connolly, representing the New York and Ontario Power Co. of Wadding-ton, N.Y. Col. Cooper, New York, representing American financial interests, will place another plan before the commission. W. A. Bowden, chief engineer of the Canadian department of public works, and Col. Wooten, representing the American Government, submitted a plan last July which provides for dams and Power houses at the Long Sault. This plan is what is technically known as the single power development and it is estimated would produce approximately 1,500,000 horsepower, for a construction cost of $159,000,000. The plan of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission prepared by F. A. Gaby, chief engineer, R. S. Lea consulting engineer, and H. G. Acres, hydraulic engineer, consists of three alternative proposals. Scheme A is practically identical with the plan submitted by the Government engineers but scheme B. provides for wdiat is known as the double development and includes two series of dams and power houses with particular concentration at the Long Sault and a lesser concentration at Morris-burg. Scheme C. is similar to scheme B. with the exception that the lesser concentration is contemplated for Crysler Island. Mr. Acres, in explaining the plans to the commission, submitted that the double development would produce 100,000 extra horsepower in excess of the government plan. Under scheme A, Mr. Acres explained that there would be a control dam at Morrisburg to protect the levels of Lake Ontario and to regulate- the flow of the river. If this scheme were carried through 11,200 acres,, of land along the river would be flooded, and if the dam at the Long Sault was increased to 29,500 COUNTESS D'UE DEAD. She Abolished the Keeping of Slaves In Brazil. PARIS, Nov. 15.--Countess D'Eu, daughter of former Brazilian Emperor Dom Pedro II., and former Empress Theresa, died here Monday at the age of 75 years. Countess D'Eu, whose name before she was married was Princess Izabel de Braganca, was born at Rio de Janeiro in 1846. She was the eldest daughter of former Emperor Pedro II. of Brazil, and was heiress to the Brazilian throne until the abdication of her father in 1889. On October 15, 1864, she was married to Louis G^ton d'Orleans, Count D'Eu, by whom she has three living sons. During the absence of her father in Europe and America she was three times regent of Brazil. Durifrg one of her periods of regency she signed a decree abolishing slavery in Brazil without compensation to slave owners. 'Women ^Canada "I ask from all the people of Canada an earnest review of the real issue before Canada to-day. I ask from men and 'women a calm, thoughtful consideration of serious public questions; and, so far as I am concerned myself, I ask not farors but fairness."-- ARTHUR MEIGHEN. WOMEN OP CANADA, the coming General Election will be one of the most momentous in Canadian history, and Arthur Meighen asks YOU to give the issue fair, unbiassed consideration. Women and men alike are called upon to decide whether political, industrial and economic stability is to be replaced by class rule, political and industrial chaos and possible economic bankruptcy. The facts are clear, and every Canadian woman will do her own thinking. She will not be misled by others. She "will not blindly follow family political precedent, neither will she be carried away by the false, theories or empty "isms" of theorists and extremists. Every woman will arrive at a personal decision by the application of practical common sense. The great issue is the Tariff and here are briefly the facts. '*' The present Canadian Tariff, so far as it affects the necessaries of life, is a very moderate one. It is simply a tariff maintained to keep Canadian factories in Canada, employing a steadily increasing volume of Canadian labor and developing Canadian reaources. Meighen stands firm for the continuance of a reasonable tariff. It is now even more imperative than in the past. All other important countries are retaining or increasing their tariffs in order that they may hold their home markets for their own people. Under foerar's Free Trade policy Canada would be swamped with foreign goods, principally from the United States, Canadian industry would be ruined, thousands of men and womec. would be out of work with all the hardships to themselves and their children that must result. The farmer's great home market would be seriously affected, taxes would be increased, and Canadian working men would have to go to the United States for employment. While King's Tariff policy is wobbly it nevertheless tends toward the destruction of the Tariff and would bring' with it practically.the same results. MEIGHEN'S POLICY EVERYBODY KNOWS. It is the only means whereby confidence may be maintained and employment given "o7 all classes ^jf the people. The foregoing is a plain statement of logical conclusion^ arrived at from the facts. Think the matter over carefully "without favor but with' fairness". Make your own decision, stand by it unmoved and be sure to exercise your vote. Canada Needs Your Vote; and-- Canada %tcL Oim^m.
