PALL . ~~. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, juLY 12, 1928 p---- _ p-- BRITAIN DELAYED N SIGNING PACT BY DONINIONS 'Sir Austen Chamberlain - Gives Reason For Not Signing Kellogg Treaty + London, July 11.--The attitude f overseas Dominions is partly responsible for Great Britain's de- lay in signing Secretary Kellogg's treaty for the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy, Sir Austen Chamberlain, foreign tary, suggested to the House of Commons when he announced that the Government was not yet able to set a date for signature. In answering the Labor party's demand for immediate acceptance and signing, Sir Austen sald that everything possible was being done to hasten the dispatch of England's yeply to the State Department's latest note. This note was delivered to the foreign office here on June 23 by Ray Atherton, American Charge a'- Affaires. Replying to a supple- mentary question by the Laborite, Col, J. C. Wedgwood, Sir Austen said: "I am not prepared to an- A lawer without notice as to the ai- titude of the Dominions of which 'Y am not fully informed." | The Foreign Secretary's sugges- tion that the uncertainty as re- gards the attitude of the Domin- 'fons is holding up the signature injected a wholly novel element in- to the situation and took diploma- tic and political circles here cum- pletely by surprise. It was pointed out that in his note to Washing- ton dated May 17, Sir Austen, af- ter going on record that the pro- osed treaty was one in which his government could not participate otherwise than jointly and simul- taneously with the Dominions and India, declared: "His Majesty's Government, therefore, has been in communica- tion with these governments aua I Your Excellency that as a result of the communications which have passed, it has been ascertained that they are all in cordial .agree- ment with the general principles of the proposed treaty. I feel com- fident, therefore, that om receipt of the invitation to participaie ia the conclusion of such a treaty, they, mo less than His Majesty's Government in Great Britain, win be prepared to accept the invita. tion." Opposition circles expressed flat bewilderment as to how Sir Aus- ten's statement of apparently blam- ing the delay on the Dominion governments can be 'reconcuea with this passage in his note of May 19. Heretofore, it had been understood that this government's delay in affixing its signature to the pact was due chiefly to Sir Austen's known anxiety to keep in the closest step with Qual D'Orsay where the draft of the treaty now is being subjected to expert juri- dicial examination. The Foreign Secretary's implied and somewhat disingenuous®sug- gestion that new and unexpected complications are arising within the British Empire, seems unlikely to halt the demand of public opin- ion in all parties in this country which now is being mobilized under the slogan: 'Sign it now!" Adopting this slogan as an edi- torial caption, the liberal "Daily News" lined up with Garvin's Con- servative "Observer" {in insisting that every negative day that passes makes the achievement not easier but more difficult to realize. It tends to increase suspicion here and abroad that our Government is not in earnest." Auto Insurance In Ontario Compulsory? (By Canadian Press) Toronto, July 12.--The Ontario government is watching the results of legislation in various American states where insurance of automo- biles is compulsory, with a view to establishing the idea in this prov- ince, Hon. G. 8. Henry, minister of Highways, says. The legislation is not wholly ap- proved by Mr, Henry, however.

ROBERTS IS HONORED BY TRIBE Sarcee Indians Make Noted Writer A Chief Calgary, Alta, July 11.--As a very fitting climax to the conyen- tion of thq Canadian Authors' As- sociation just finished in Calgary, Dr. Charles G. D. Roberts, re elect ed president of the organization, was made a "writer chief" by the leader of the Sarcee Indians Sat- urday. This author of woodland stories received the honor of the magnificent war plumage of eagle feathers presented to him by Chief Big Plume, while the name of "Na-Kee-Tlee-eee Ah-Kee Tcha" was conferred upon him. "We want more human interest in our Canadian history, a greater sense of imagination and achieve- ment for the development of Can- ada exhibits a tremendous ro- mance," were the words of Dr. Henry F. Munro, Toronto, in a speech before the members of the Canadian Authors' Association as- sembled at a banquet held at Banff over the week-end. Dr. Munro, the Hon. Perren Baker, Mrs. Nellie McClung and Arthur Stringer were the speakers. . Prefacing his address with con- gratulatory remarks as to the high order of the program of the recent convention, Dr. Munro returned to the subject of writing Canadian history with an interesting motif. He especially commended Miss Don- alda Dickie's books, which are used from one end of Canada to the other. "We want more books like those," he concluded. GIRL ATHLETES MAKE BEST WIVES (By Canadian Press) Edmonton, Alta., July 12.--That carrying off Olympic honors does not take a girl's mind off home- making and matrimony {is proven by the fact that every girl who formed the Edmonton Grads Base ketball team at the Olympics, four years ago has now married and retired from the floor and the bas- kets, leaving the 1928 honors to the younger girls, The players who form the team going to the Olympics this year are very young, from 17 to 22 years of age. Five of them are employ- ed as stenographers in offices, and the sixth, Gladys Fry, is a third vear student at the University of Alberta, studying household science. Mae Brown is the shortest girl on the team, and she is the utility "sub." Whoever said women are poor losers certainly wasn't talking about weight. -- Ogden Standard Examiner, .

S. Railway Difficulties London, Ont,, July 10. -- Faced with Crown Attorney Judd's re- port announcing the collapse of criminal charges against the Lon- don and Port Stanley Railway, Mayor G. A. Wenige, at a special meeting of the London Railway Commission today, was saverely criticized by fellow-commissioners who, in the words of Commission- er J. P, Moore, K.C.,, M.P.P., have witnessed "so much lying and prevarication that I am sure the public must he disgusted." Case Collapses Entirely The Crown Attorney, in a ten- thousand-word report dealing exhaustively with every phase of the Mayor's ' charges, concludes that the very "hackhone'" of the Mayor's case collapses with the production of indisputable, oftic- jal and impartial evidence that the cars which the Mayor claimed to have been illegally diverted on the I. and P.S, . were never in Canada, or within hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of miles of the I, and P.S. on the dates cited by the Mayor, In many cases no cars exist of the num bers given, while of those that dn exist only one was in Canada for a month hefore or a month after date named by His Worship. Therefore, the Crown Attorney finds that cars of such numbers could not have heen illegally han- dled, and there could not have heen any conspiracy in these spec- ific instances on which the May- or rests his case. Commissioners Discuss Report The report was read to the com missioners at a special meeting called by Senator E. 8, Little, Chairman of the London Railway Commision, immediately after {its receipt this afternoon, The Mayor smoked vigorously as the Secretary read, and he fol. lowed "the document through on his own copy, As the reading was completed, Senator Little ask- ed if the Mayor had any Sugges- tions as to what should now be dene. "No," answered Mr, Wenige, have no suggestions. TI am going to let that soak into me strong for the next few hours.

The amount eollect- ed for commissions and general costs was only $129,827, so the average commission was below § per cent. "Generally speaking, merchants of the country are more and more following the practice of buying in smaller quantities and turning mer chandise over more frequently, and while this situation is throwing the load upon the wholesalers and manufacturers of the country to a material extent, it is also preclua- ing the merchant from having as large an assortment as he has car- ried heretofore," it is noted. "Chain store development has in- creased in Canada during the past 12 months and there have been quite a large number of amalgama- tions, but one outstanding example in Ontario has tended to check the latter development. In this con- nection it is interesting to note that the Association through fits Ontario Division, and under fits Manager, A. S. Crighton, has been associated with G. T. Clarkson in handling the largest commercial insolvency that has ever been handled in the history of the Do- minion, the realization from tne assets being something like over $5,000,000."
