THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1921. 3 PRINCE OF WALES RECEIVED LOYAL WELCOME ON ARRIVAL AT BOMBAY Tour of His Royal Highness Has Opened With Splendid Promise--Gandhi, Leader of Non-co-operationists, Not in Evidence During Reception Which Surpassed All Expectations in Goodwill. A despatch from London says:-- Reuter's correspondent with the Prince of Wales, in a long detailed despatch, describes the reception of the Prince by the populace of Bombay when he landed and during the four-mile circuitous procession through the city. The splendid military cortege at various points along the route touched the fringe of the native bazaar, where there was tumultous enthusiasm unprecedented in the history of Bombay. The route of the procession was lined with British and Indian troops. A public holiday had been declared and all the inhabitants closed their shops and lined into the streets to greet the Prince, whose manner and bearing made a great impression. The correspondent adds that, although the political atmosphere in Bombay is rather tense, the tour of the Prince is considered to have opened with splendid promise. The Bombay correspondent of The London Times says the non-co-operationists had made the utmost efforts to render the boycott of the Prince of Wales' visit effective, but the only result was an overwhelming and tumultuous reception, passing all possible expectations. Experts say it will be a severe blow to Gandhi and his party of discontent, but the correspondent refrains from prediction. At the moment of the demonstration Ganhi himself was somewhere in Bombay, but is reported to have been assisting at "a farcical bonfire of imported clothing." His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will have a strenuous time during his four months' stay in India, beginning with Bombay, where the battle-cruiser Renown, on which he sailed from England on October 27, arrived on Nov. 16. He was greeted by Lord Reading, the Viceroy, and the rulir.g Princes on the staff of his Royal Highness. The initial ceremony upon his landing at the Gateway of India, on the Bunder, which was built to commemorate the durbar visit of the King and Queen, was the presentation of an address by the Bombay municipality. A state drive through the city to Government Hoi at Malabar Point was followed in i evening by a reception, preceded by a quiet dinner. On Thursday morning the Prince held a durbar of the ruling Princes. A dinner and ball at Government House at night concluded the Prince's initial visit in Bombay, and shortly after midnight he left for After a public welcome to the Prince in Poona his Royal Highness will unveil the Mahratta War Memorial. He will attend the races in the afternoon, and will then return to Bombay. Among his engagements in Bombay will be his attendance at the quadrangular cricket match (so called from the competition of European, Parsee, Mohammedan and Hindu elevens), and the sports tournament of the great Bombay Maidan. The Prince will leave Bombay on the night of Nov. 22 for Baroda, which last received a visit from the then Prince of Wales in 1875. After some formal engagements in Baroda the Prince will go into the country and have some black-buck shooting. He will then proceed to Udaipur, whose venerable Maharaja is considered the leading ruler in Rajputana,, on account both of his legendary descent from the semi-divine Rama and the great traditions of chivalry associated with the ruling house. Through all the J generations of Mogul domination iti was the only ruling Rajput family! which gave no daughter in marriage to any member of the Mohammedan Imperial dynasty. The Prince will spend a couple of; days in the valleys not far from the palace of the Maharaja, shooting leopards and possibly some other big S The Prince's visit to Patha, the youngest of the British Provinces, wil! be of historic interest, as it will be the first time that a member of the Royal house will be the guest of an Indian Governor, in the person of Lc-d Sinha. There will be a durbar at Patna. Three comparisons of the naval strength of the greatest powers in the world, as they are to-day and as they will be if the present naval building plans are completed. Note that Great Britain would still stand out above the other powers. Sir Ian Hamilton warns us as to Japan's great efficiency regarding armament. Note her position on the diagram. STERLING EXCHANGE OVER FOUR DOLLARS Highest Quotation for Demand Bills in More Than Six Months. A despatch from New York says:-- British exchange, as reported by the pound sterling, rose to a fraction over $4 for demand bills in this market on Thursday. This is the highest quotation in over six months and equals a gain of six cents from the low quotation cf the week. The rise again was associated with developments at the Armament Conference in Washington, as well as improvement in Great Britain's foreign trade balance. French nr 1 other leading Continental remittances also strengthened, and German marks, which recently reached their most acute stage of demoralization, were relatively firm. The 1911 census gives the Province of Alberta a population cf 581,995, as compared with 374,663 in 1911, an e of 207,332, or 55.34 per cent. Ascended 18,000 Feet With the Aid of Oxygen A despatch from Paris says:-- Flight to rarified altitudes, and even to the moon, is now possible for human beings without being equipped with special breathing tanks, through a discovery by Dr. Bayeux, which has been communicated to the Pasteur Institute. An injection of oxygen replace;; the artificial respiratory tanks hitherto in use. Dr. Bayeux has proved the feasability of his discovery by its use in the Alps, where he ascended 18,000 feet without the slightest difficulty. BRITISH OPPOSE USE OF SUBMARINES Great Britain and the United States Take Different Views on Question. A despatch from Washington says:--Great Britain's antipathy to submarines as a naval weapon still loomed on Thursday as the outstanding point of disagreement between the British and United States points of view in conneition with future re-, stricted naval programs. The submarine question is being stressed beyond any other in unoffi-sial discussion in conference circles, and views of the two powers are so far apart that it seems likely extended consideration must be given before a mutual agreement can be reached. In the British view, submarines should be aoolished entirely, as an improper naval weapon. A wide range of subjects have been covered to support that position. In the United States view, submarines, properly used, are as legitimate a naval weapon as battleships. ,No British argument yet presented has shaken that conviction, so far as can be told. The British delegation apparently does not expect an agreement to abandon submarines. There is nothing to indicate that it has presented present any such proposal in a forma1, way. Failing that, however, thrf ish will advance a project to limit the United States and Great Britain to probably 45,000 tons in submarines, instead of the 90,000 tons each proposed by the United States. Coupled with the proposal will be a formal suggestion to limit the size of indi- Northern Ireland Stands Up For Her Rights A despatch from London says:-- Ulster's reply to the latest British Government communication on the question of an Irish settlement was delivered at Downing Street on Thursday afternoon. It indicates that Ulster stands firm in the attitude she has taken and will not submit to any- j thing considered a violation of h< rights. KINGDOM OF ARABS IN MESOPOTAMIA TO BE CONTROLLED BY BRITAIN vidual submarines, perhaps to 250 The United States viewpoint reject; immediately both of these suggeS' The 90,000-ton aggregate limitation proposed by the United States delegation was derived from a study of United States needs of the more than 40,000 nautical miles of coastline to be protected and of the need of the fleet in underwater craft. That being the figure arrived at as necessary for defensive purposes, and to round out the fleet, it was entirely agreeable to the United States that Great Britain should keep the same tonnage. United States naval officers wholly disagree with the suggestion of thi British that there is any inherent characteristic in- submarines that makes them unamenable to the rules of civilized warfare. It is pointed out that the United States thrashed out that question with Germany before German disregard of the view that submarines could be controlled brought the United States into the war. A battleship or cruiser could be guilty of just as grave violations of the requirements of humanity, even in war, it is argued, and the fact that submersibles have a quality of limited visibility does not deny them a place in legitimate warfare. JAPANESE DELEGATE ASKS FOR "SLI^ITLY GREATER" PROPORTION OF TOAGE A despatch from Washington says:--Admiral Baron Kato, head of the Japanese delegation to the armament conference, announced on Thursday that Japan would ask modification of the United States naval limitation program, which would permit Japan to maintain a "general tonnage slightly greater than sixty per cent." of that of each of the other two powers. Japan would also ask, Baron Kato said, for the right to maintain "a type of vessel of strictly defensive character," with tonnage approximating that maintained by the other two powers. A statement issued by Baron Kato said: "Because of her geographical position, Japan deems it only fair at the present time that the other interested countries should agree that she should maintain a proportion in general tonnage slightly greater than sixty per cent., and, in a type of vessel of strictly defensive character, she might even 're to approximate that of the greater navies." ~ iron Kato's statement was made at a conference with newspaper correspondents, but he would not give details as to the modifications his delegation would submit, saying this was for the conference to discuss. It was assumed generally, however, that the "slightly greater" general tonnage that Japanese desired would include the battleship Matsu probably just commissioned and that the type of defensive vessel referred to was a' light cruiser suitable for policing the waters of the Orient against pirates and the like. , The Mutsu is a ship of some 33,000 tons, armed with eight 16-inch rifles. She is comparable to the United States Maryland class and, according to Secretary Hughes' program, each nation would retain but one ship in this class. Great Britain has no battleships of this type. If the Mutsu is later added to the ships Japan is to retain, she will make the second 16-inch gun ship for Japan, and It was assumed that if this was granted, the United States delegation would desire to retain the West Virginia, of similar characteristics, to be launched next Saturday. Admiral Kato made his statement in the presence of M. Hanihara, the vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs, and several other members of the Japanese delegation. He was then asked to define more claerly what he meant in stating that "in a type of vessel cf strictly defensive character she might desire to approximate that of the greater navies," and in reply, said he wanted to make perfectly clear that the above reservation did not apply to capital ships but to other ships of defensive character. Retrenchment Policy of British Admiralty A despatch from London says:--In connection with its policy of retrench ment in administrative expenditures, the British admiralty has resolved to retire on pensions eighty naval cap-s and 200 commanders early next year, according to the Evening News. These retirements would not involve taking more ships out of commission, it was said, and if the Washington Conference agrees on the United States naval restriction program, further reduction in the admiralty's personnel are contemplated. Maybe Mother Was. Lucy heard her mother and some callers discussing a neighbor's rug. She quietly slipped out of the room, sang the neighbor's door-bell, and asked to see the new rug. After looking at it for some time, she solemnly said, "Well, it doesn't make me sick." Living in Austria i 5 costly as in 1914. University Spirit. "There's no use betting on a university team. University boys always play to win," said a more or less professional "sportsman" apropos of the rugby games played at the University of Toronto stadium. This man has an insight into the spirit which is produced by uni/ersity athletics. University boys play hardware glad to win, are good losers, if they lose, and they do not resort to "shady" tricks. They are trained to be above that sort of thing. Not the winning of the game, primarily, but good', clean sport is their objective. And what a valuable asset that spirit is to an indi-' vidual! The people of Ontario are proud of their provincial university', of its excellent teaching, of its success in research, of its widespread extension service, and they do not forget that, at that university, young men and women are being trained to be citizens of the highest order, unsuspicious and above suspicion, honest and upright, and that the training in sports and general athletics is helping to produce that type of citizen. Weekly Market Report A despatch from Paris says:-- Herbert A. L. Fisher, member of the Council of the League of Nations for j Great Britain, announced in Thursday's session of the council meeting here that Great Britain was preparing to negotiate a treaty with Prince Fei-sal, King of the Irak region of' Mesopotamia, defining the relations of the British Government as mandatory power to the new kingdom. The treaty, he said, will be based on the principles announced by the King himself in his accession speech, during the course of which he said that freedom of religion and worship and "the equity of commercial dealings with foreign countries" would be red. The treaty, however, Mr. Fisher said, will secure the control of the foreign relations of the Irak region to the British Government. The Kingdom of Irak, which includes virtually all of Mesopotamia, is one of the territories covered by the class mandates which are still to be approved by the League Council, and concerning which the United States Government recently notified the council that it must have a voice.
