PALL A \WV THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1928 Life Blood of Empire Runs in Veins of Coming Generation "Young Ambassadors of Em- pire" Are Tendered Civic Luncheon in Toronto-- Are Being Given Oppor- tunity to Visit Various Sections and Dominions of British Empire (Special To The Times) Toronto, Aug. 31.--That the life blood of Empire building ran in the veins of the coming genera- tion of British citizens and that no better way could be found of cementing the bonds of Empire than by affording the boys and girls of today an opportunity to visit the various sections and Do- minions of the Britjsh Empire was voiced by Mayor Sam McBride in addressing the "Young Ambas- sadors of the Empire" at a civic luncheon tendered in gheir honor at Sunnyside Pavilion. In comment- ing upon the presence of the visit- ors in Toronto, Mayor McBride drew attention to the fact that the twenty-five boys and twenty-five girls had just completed a tour of Canada from coast to coast and highly complimented the Associ- ated newspapers of Great Britain, under whose auspices the trip was made, and the Canadian Naional Railways and Cunard Steamship Lines which so ably cooperated with them in making the trip a success. He paid tribute to the patriotic motives behind the tour, particularly that of bringing closer together the relations beiween the Motherland and the Dominion, "The Canadian National Railways are indeed to be congratulated," Mr, McBride added, 'for they have given every facility to these young ambassadors of goodwill to see what Canada is like and form some idea of the opportunities of- fered. I am sure that when they return home they cannot but prove to be enthusiasiic over the future Canada offers to the British set- tler." Mayor McBride gave an in- teresting outline of Toronto and its importance as one of Canada's leading cities and Mr. Geo, Wilson welcomed the party on behalf of the Board of Trade, while another welcome was also extended by the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. Replies were briefly made in behalf of the party by Mr, J, Lindsay, assistant director of the party, and Mr. C. G. Groff of the Agricultural Department of the Canadian J ational Railways, Dur- ing the day the party were the guests of the city of 'Loronto and were taken for a drive about the city, visiting the City Hall, Parlia- ment Buildings, Hart House and other points of interest, In the afternoon they attended & vrecep- tion at Government House given by His Honor Lieut.-Gov, Ross and the evening was spent at Sun- nyside, The *'Young Ambassadors' will leave Toronto this morning by motor buses for Niagara Falls, the guests of the Ontario Government, driving through the famous Niagara gruit belt to Queenston, where the gigantic Hydro Electric Power Plant will be inspected, after which they will proceed to the refrectory at the Falls to have luncheon as the guests of the Niagara Parks Commission, During the afternoon an interesting event of an inter- national flavor will take place when the Young Ambassadors will cross the Upper Arch Bridge and will be welcomed to the United States by the Mayor and Civic Of- ficials of Niagarf Falls, N.Y, Ac- companied by various boys and girls' organizations of that city, as the guests of Niagara Falls city the Young Ambassadors will be shown the Great Gorge and also make a trip under the American Falls at Goat Island as well as see- ing something of the mnaufactur- ing plants of the city.

QUESTIONAIRE SENT OUT BY TELEPHONE COMPANY TO PATRONS In another column Manager H. M. Black of the Bell Telephone Company calls attention to a ques- tionaire which each local telephone user will receiye with his Septem- ber account. As Mr. Black ex- ins, his Company's aim to give the best possible grade of telephone service can be fully realized only through the co-operation of users. When defects in the service are known it is often a very simple matter to correct them, but occa- sionally irritating troubles are al- Jowed to persist simply because no one but the subscriber knows about them. it will safeguard everybody's telephone service if local users will take the trouble to answer the questions asked in the question- paire and return it to the tele- bone office when settling their iil. . For Your Drug Needs THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. S.--We Deliver YOUTH IS KILLED IN TRYING TO FREE BIRD Fort William, Aug. 31, -- Cameron, aged 14, living at 347 Cameron street, this city, while work- ing overtime last evening im the workshop where his father is super intendent, was fatally crushed when some rolled steel plates fell on him. Ted Cameron, his brother, found the lifeless body between the plate bending machine and a row of sheet metal plates. It is evident that the boy had attempted to move them, and they had all fallen upon him. The theory was advanced that he got the pile of steel plates on dead cen- tre, and that they then toppled over on to him. ° Some pigeons were noticed flying in there yesterday afternoon, and it is surmised that young Cameron was trying to release one of the birds when the accident occurred. Coroner Boyd ordered an inquest, which will be held next Tuesday. He is survived by his parents and eleven brothers and sisters, PREMIER KING HEARS COMPLAINTS OF MONASTERIES Attends a Sitting of Min- orities Commission of League Geneva, Aug. 30.--Premier W. L. Mackenzie King of Canada, who took Canada's seat on the Council of the League of Nations when it convened today, this afternoon attended the sitting of the Minorities Commission which 1s dealing with the protest of the Belgian and Russian monasteries in Greece against appropriation, The League must fear exaggerated expectations and a tendency to be impatient, Lord Cushendun, Acting British Foreign Secretary, said in an interview, So far the League had shown two high qualities. -- patience and conciliation--both of which were the League's true metier rather than coercion, which latter policy the Lea- gue discredited by offering its good offices in order that troublesome ques- tions might be adjusted. OPTIMISM 18 EVINCED Geneva, Aug. 80.--The Council of the League of Nations met for its fifty-first session today in an atmos- phere of optimism, based primarily on the signing at Paris last Monday of the Kellogg-Briand anti-war treaty, This optimism took definite form in confidence voiced by Lord Cush- endun, who is replacing Sir Austen Chamberlain for Britain on the Council, that the multilateral pact will gradually lead to a reduction of armament--an end long sought by the Council, Lord Cushendun's statement was made in the course of a conference with British newspapermen after the Council meeting had adjourned, He said, too, that too much should not he expected from the Couneil in the dispute between Poland and Lithuania, and the difficulty be tween Hungary and Rumania con- cerning land expropriation, Considers National Feelings "Some men seem to think," Lord Cushendun said, "that the Council has only to issue decrees and have them enforced, but I am convinced that any effort to settle such ques- tions without due regard to the feel- ings and views of the nations con- cerned would not settle the questions at all, and would put a great strain on the League itself." While Lord Cushendun was ex- pressing this sentiment, delegates to the preliminary conference on priv- ate manufacture of arms were dole fully admitting supreme difficulties in the way of reaching an agreement on the text of a draft convention. It was said that certain fundamental divergencies of views made it im- possible to agree upon a single text, and that another session would be necessary before convocation of the international congress for control of the manufacture of armaments can be thought of. Briand Not Prseent Today's Council session, which was presided over by H. J. Procope, youth- ful Finnish Foreign Minister and the Council's new President, saw three leading figures of its previous session missing: Sir Austen Chamberlain and Gustave Stresemann, both ill, and Foreign Minister Briand of France, who will not arrive until next Mon- day, when the League Assembly op- ens. There was one new figure of prominence, Premier William Lyon Mackenzie King of Canada. Today's session of the Council was taken up principally in a private dis- cussion by members of various ques- tions on the agenda. NEW SOUTH WALES oHORT OF REVENUE Treasurer Announces Deficit of $13,150,000 in Budget Speech IF Fes Sydney, NSW. Sept. 1.--In his budget speech, delivered in the House of Representatives Thursday affer- noon, Mr. Page, the federal treasur- er, indicated a deficit of $13,150,000 a revenue of $304,160000, and an ex- penditure of $317,310,000. The chief factor in the deficit was a decline of $10,525000 in customs and excise duties. This was almost wholly due to reduced purchases of luxuries brought about by temporary depression. The Government. he said, intended to introduce immediately 2 measure providing for mational insurance, the cost to be shared by the Common- wealth Government, RATING REFORMS 15 CHIEF PLANK British Conservative Party Council Swamped With Resolutions London, Sept. 1.--The council of the Conservative party has been con- sidering resolutions from district as- sociations all over the country for submission to the annual conference of the Conservative party at Yar mouth this month, and has made the rating reforms the , chief plank of the party program. These rating re- forms provide for removal of ful local taxes om agricultural land and buildings and of 75 per cemt of the levy by municipalities om industrial and transportation properties. In re- turn the government vlans to com- pensate the municipalities from the treasury, having set aside a fund in the last budget for this purpose. The rank and file of the party, however, expect that the "safeguard- ing" question will sooner or later take precedence over the rating proposals. A large section of the conference will expect party leaders to state un- equivocally that irom and steel con- cerns be allowed to present the case for safeguarding and to promise that if a tribunal reports the case is justified that there will be no hesi- tation in giving the measure of tariff relief demanded. The whole question of "Safeguard- in," which is of course a method of giving a measure of tariff protection to specific industries who prove the need for it, is expected indeed to be the storm centre of the comference, in the light of past events. 1i the party leaders give clear guidance on this- matter there is little doubt .in political circles that the general elec- tion next year will be fought on the question of whether a protective tar- iff shall be given the basic industries. The implications of this possibility are so enormous that rating reforms inevitably will be eclipsed as an elec- tion issue, if the safeguarding ques- tion is really brought out in the op- en. Another quetion of first importance to be submitted concerns Empire de- velopment and the opportunities for emigration from Britain. Motions sent in to the council urge extension of settlement and agricultural train- ing facilities. JAMES EDGERTON SUPPORTS HOOVER Prohibition Leader Urges Followers to Vote Republican Washington, Sept. 1.--James A. Edgerton, who accepted the nomina- tion as vice-president on the prohibi- tion ticket Wednesday night, made a technical withdrawal, and came out in, support of Herbert Hoover, the Republican party nominee. Edgerton urged prohibition forces to unite under the Hoover-Curtis standard in order not to split the "forces of righteousness." "The Prohibition Party that has made so many sacrifices in the past is now ready to make this last su- preme sacrifice," he said, "but let it be understood that while we support Herbert Hoover, we support him not as a partisan, but as a man, because he stands for the eighteenth amend- ment in its integrity; because he fav- ors strengthening and not weakening the Volstead law; because he is pledged to the enforcement of that law, and by his whole life he has shown that his heart is in humani- tarian causes." Edgerton explained he originally supported the Democratic party and never before had been allied with the party which nominated him as their vice-president candidate. "When my own party was betray- &d 1 came to your convention," he said. "It is no light matter; to sever the party ties of a lifetime; yet bigger than party is country and big- ger than both is the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." Edgerton suggested the Prohibition party withdraw its clectoral tickets ia the states where a close battle tween Hoover and Smith expected so there should be no di- vision of the dry forces. 5 He declared the platforms of the two major parties do not differ. "The language of the two platiorms on prohibition and farm relief is al- most identical--general sympathy and nothing specific," he said. "Whatever issue had been raised was by the candidates." Before making his acceptance speech at the studio of WRC, Edger- ton was formally notified his nomination at his home in Fort Lyon, Va. a short distance from Washing- ton. of Red Indian Stations everywhere + » » provide the motoring public with super-service and superior products, Let the Red Indian be your guide, gasoline to buy, MARATHON HI-TEST GASOLINE Sweet in the running, because of uniform cleanliness.
