Canadian Press) London, Mar, 2.--~Liberal newspa- pers today splashed to the utmost the Right Hon, David Lloyd George's proposal to reduce unemployment to normal proportions within a year without increasing. taxation. "Start- ling," "dynamic," and "arresting simplicity," were typical adjectives playing the Liberal leader's plan, dis- closed in opening the Liberal election The scheme is evidently an ela- olved as the result of an industrial enquiry embodied in a socalled yel- low book, Among other things the book 'suggests a scheme of national' tional Investment. This board would Imaginative Scheme The Free Trade Daily News says the proposals are not an election stunt, and it is inconceivable the electorate will fail to give the "bold, imaginative scheme" its earnest con- sideration. The Daily Chronicle says the pro- posals are "An appeal to the whole nation to arise to face a great task, just as years ago Lloyd George called upon the country to brace itself for the war."

It it is gathered from a sandy shore it is full of impurities but on the Nova Scotia coast it has ideal conditions and a rocky shore. One firm alone imports 50,000 square feet of eel-grass mat each month. It 4s fixed to'the flat spaces of cell- ings or along walls; thin wood bat- tens are then nailed over it, and upon this is stretched canvas which may be treated to suit any desired decorative scheme. All outside traffic noise are practically 'eliminated by this method of absorbing sound, while the buzz of conversation and the sound of mechanical apparatus in- side the buildings themselves are greatly reduced. Up to the present, only the hare vesting of the eel-grass is carried on in Nova Scotia, the raw product being taken to Boston to be con- verted into marketable form. el-grass has been used for many years for "banking'" country hous- es against the frost in winter. It is a source of inconvenience to fish- ermen through the clogging of gil- nets and fouling of motor boat pro- pellers, TWO GIRLS HIT BY AUTO SUFFER SCALP WOUNDS Grimsby, March 2, -- A, Culp, Johns street, Grimsby, driving a se- dan on highway No. 8 a few miles west of Grimsby ran down and ser- fously injured Elsie vuncan and Margaret Kelon who live at "The Fifty," as they were walking on the highway.

CANADIAN PRODUCE TARIFF OPPOSED Boston, Mar, 2.--Much opposi- tion is being voiced by editorial writers throughout the east to the proposed heavy tariffs on Cana- dian products. One writer points out that at present one-fifth of the entire exports of the United States goes to Canadian markets, and that Canada buys from us annually $300,000,000 more than we buy from her. If Canada should lose her market in this country she might also lose much of her rev- enue she now spends in our mar- kets, it is argued. "Injuring Our Best Customer," the New York World terms the agi- tation for higher tariff. "It is hich time for the Republican leaders in Washington to stop long enough in a mad scramble for increased tar- iff duties to see where their plans are taking us," says that newspap- er. "The present tariff agitation in not only counteracting any posi- tive effects that may have been achieved by Mr. Hoover's good will tour among our neighbors to the south; it is plainly having equally undesirable effects on the good-will of our neighbor in the north. If the tariff spokesmen have their way there will be a virtual embargo on Canada's exports of foodstuffs and raw materials to the United States. This possibility has already started a discussion over the border of re- talrtory measures. "Canada is now our best custom er. Her recent purchases of our products have placed her ahead of Great Britain in this respect. But these purchases will not hold up if the high-tariff advocates get what they are after. Canadian im- ports amount to only a drop in the bucket when compared to our total domestic consumption, but to their producers the loss .of this market will mean disaster. It will not be necessary for these producers to or- ganize a boycott against American goods. With our tariff rates suf- ficiently high they will have to re- frain involuntarily from buying." The Boston Transcript sees many undesirable possjbilites n the event ties over the St. Lawrence Canal, and the barring of west coast fruit and produce by British Columbia says the Trans- eript. "is virtually interested in as liberal an exchange of American and Canadian products as may be con- sistent with the revenue necessi- ties of both countries."

UNSELFISH GROUND TAKEN Indian Christians have presented Sir John Simon with a memorandum giving their views on conditions in India.
