Whig NO REASON T0 COMPLAIN Should Great Britain Buy Less From United States. TANI AGANST INPORTS Policy to Reduce US. Ex- ports-=-Comment on Im- perial Conference. New York, Oect. 5.--Commenting on the policy proposed at the British Imperial Conference in London to keep trade so far as possible within the Empire, the World declares that the people of the United States are the last people in the world who could complain should Great Britain buy less from them. - "We have an economic policy to- day which invites exactly such a policy as the British are thinking about," says the World, "We have a policy aimed to make imports diffi- cult. In a world where nations must buy if they wish to sell, we need not be surprised then if the British an- swer our tariff 'against imports by a policy aimed to reduce our ex- ports." The Times also devotes an editor ial to a discussion of the conference and, like the World, declares that in the proposal to develop Imperial trade there Is a "hint for the U.8. that need not be labored." "To-day." continues the Times, "it it not only our bankers and manus ° facturers, but our farmers, who are awake to the need of securing for- eign markets. Only this week repre- sentatives of the American Farm Bureau Federation went to the White House to recommend a great extension of U.S. loans to foreign countries, so that they might be bei-° ter able to buy the surplus of our agricultural production.

W. S. Fielding, seventy-six years of age, spent sey- eral hours yesterday in a railway car travelling between Cttawa and Toronto, to be in intimate touch with the Home Bank situation here, and presumably, to confer with the Ontarfo authorities as to the course of the investigation. Arriving at the King PMdward ho- tel at nine o'dlock last might, the finance minister left on foot thirty ,minutes later to consult with per- sonal friends, among whom were eminent counsel, representing, be: 'sides other interests ,the finance de- partment at Ottawa. He returned to . Bis sulte at 11 p.m. One of Mr. Flelding's first expressions upon meeting those in close touch with the situation is said to have been that of intense anxiety to get to \ work at cleaning up the tangle. He declined to be interviewed. When the federal finance minis- fer and Ontario's attorney-general get into conference to-day, the big mater to be discussed doubtless will be the nature and extent of investi- gations to be made into the affairs of the Home Bank. ' Questions us to whether the criminal proceedings will In themselves be sufficient in- quiry, whether Ontario would prefer an additional investigation by a royal commission, or whether a fed- eral government financial expert x should conduct a probe, as was done "in the case of the Merchants' Bank, are likely to be discussed Attorney-General Nickle stated LT.-COL.

Although the authorities at the Portsmouth penitentiary are endea- voring to keep everything secret, it is almost certain that sensational de- velopments in connection with the escape of the five convicts will take place any day. For some days, detectives employ- ed by the justice department at Ot- tuwa have been here gathering up evidence in connection with the es- cape. One of the first things the 'detectives did upon their arrival was to secure a search warrant and visit the Glenburnie district. It is thought they suspected that the convicts were assisted by some parties after leaving the prison. A home was visited by the detectives at Glen- burnie but whether or not any clue was obtained is a matter which only the detectives know. There have been rumors to the effect that the convicts received "in- side'" assistance. All these rumors ure being investigated by the detec- tives. On Friday morning, Warden J. ©. Ponsford and ome of the detectives visited the court house and had a long conference with Sheriff Vair. The cour: house officials are say- ing absolutely nothing, but it is known that County Magistrate Brad- shaw made out the search warrants for the detectives. It was learned on Friday after- noon that it had been suspected that the four convicts had been able to make their escape in an automobile which had been stored in a tay stack on a Glenburnie farm. There was evidently no truth in the report, for when the detectives visited the place where the auto was supposed to have been, there was no trace whatever George on his first visit to America. of the hay stack being disturbed.

Toronto, Oct. 5.--Three strong resolutions were passed at a meet- ing of the depositors of the Home Bank of Canada held last evening. The resolutions read as follows: (1) Resolved, that the federal and provincial governments be requested to waive their priority in respect to the assets of the Home Bank of Can- ada. (2) Resolved, that the depositors' representatives take the necessary action to ensure the conservation of the assets of the bank by protecting shareholders against the immediate winding up of the affairs of the bank. (3) Resolved, that the federal government be petitioned to give financial assistance to the depositors, and thet the Canadian Bankers' As- sociation be pressed by the finance minister to supplement the assets of the Home Bank of Canada by shar- ing the responsibility to the extent of assuming a proportion of the loss.
