The statement says that His Maj- esty's Government hopes the com- mission will proceed to India early week above Chalk River, and was taken to Whitney yesterday, where he will appear before Park Mag- istrate Miller, The warrant issued against the accused states that he intimidated a park ranger in Algon- quin Park by using firearms, refus. ed to accompany him to headquar- ters, and had in his possession fire- arms for the purpose of destroying game within the park, "NOHLEMAN" SENTENCED Stephen Hastings, 19 years old alias "the Right Hon.

DISCUSS HIGHWAYS A road to connect the Petergoro- Port Hope highway with the Whitby- Lindsay highway .via the 9th line of Cavan Township. through Cavan- ville, Bethany, Yelverton and Port Perry to Manchester was discussed at a meeting in the Bethany Town Hall last night Representative members were there from the town- ships and municipalities that would he affected. W. H. Bradburn, M P P. for Peterboro, was elected chairman of the committee to inves- 'tigate. The secretary of the commit. tee, I". C. Dawe of Bethany, points Lut that this highway gould provide 3 shoftergyoute from sPeterboro to rojffo ghan by way Port Hope Also it would relieve congestjon on t highway in addition to pov' ready acgess to Jeterboro tron africh farming "district, returning thither im AB to per- form the main task. As regards the composition of the commission, the statement says it was doubtiul whether a commission including a substantial proportion of Indian members and British official mem- bers would satisfy the condition that it should be unbiased and cum- petent to present am accurate pic ture of the facts "om which Parlia- men could take actiom. His Majesty's Government, says the statement, had expressed the opinion that a commission, drawn from men of every British political: party would bring a fresh, end unaffected judgment to r wpon the immensely complex consti- tutional issue im India. Moreover, the findings hy some of its own members could count beforehand on a favorable reception x hands of the British Parliament. should be: Welcomied The ~ Viceroy's 'statement tinuése; + "If. those who speak india have confidence in their case they ough to welcome such an op- portupity for members of the Brit- ish Legislature, to come into con- tact with the ities of Indian life and polities. Furthermore. the ~ethod chosen by His Majesty's Government would assure Indians of a better opportunity of influencing the pansage of desired measures because through Indian Legislatures they would be able to express them- selves freely to the commission it- elf, and also challenye in detail vr principle, to a joint select com- nittee of Parliament, any om uv wonesals of His Majesty's Govern- ment." Opinions Differ Delhi, India, Nov. 10.--Reac- férs to the appointment of the In- 1ian statutory commission made up entirely of Europeans have not yet natured, but Colonel Gidney, a re- resentative of the Anglo-Indian anu 1iomieciled Europeans in the Legis- lative Assémbly, welggmed the eom- nission as eminently suitable. He «pressed the opinion that a mixed ~ommission scheme would have been unworkable as it would have yroduced a crop of dissenting min- ites. If the commission were boy- ~otted and Parliament therefore ra. fused to proceed with it, Indiang vould only lave themselves 'wo thank for putting the hands of the reform clock back, he said. An unofficial member of the As- sembly said a mixed commission would have been preferable. Busi- ness men disliked anything that ao centuated racialism.
