It was not the soldier or the militiamen that caused war, he reminded his audience, but public opinion, and it was caused by the unbalancing of power between two nations, It was the last resort of bungling statesmen. D The militia was not out for war, declared Captain C. 8. Mason of the Ontario Regiment in replying to the toast, but he believed that, if trouble should arise, prepared- ness was 90 per cent of any bat- tle. : Other Toasts The toast to the "Oshawa Branch, Canadian Legion," was proposed by Leon Frazer, Indus- trial Commissioner for the city, and responded to by J. T, Dalby, president of the branch. The toast to the "Ladies' Auxiliary" of the local branch, which catered for the banquet last night, was proposed by A. H. Power and responded to by Alderman Dan Douglas, W. E. N. Sinclair called upon the assemblage to observe two minutes of silence in memory of the fallen comrades, and Brig. Gen. J. A. Gunn, C.M.G., D.S.0.,, past president of the Ontario Command of the Canadian Legion, replied, in the chief address of the evening. General Gunn In his address General Gunn called upon all ex-service men to unite in joining the Canadian Le- gion, which was the Canada-wide organization that amalgamated all of the war veterans' clubs that sprang up after the war. He re- ferred to the splendid work being done by the Legion in caring for (soldiers who were unable to look after themselves, and in also assist- ling the dependants of soldiers that had passed on. The interest being taken by citizens in the Legion work was remarked by the speaker, who said that our business men had been pursuaded to accept posts on the advisory board of the Canadian Legion at Toronto. The Legion was really the expression of respect by the ex-service men for their fallen comrades, he said, for it was aiding the widows and fami- lies of soldiers who had died in ac- tion or since the war. There were over 700 branches serving in Can- ada, he said. The welcome of Toastmaster Hood to the guests was responded to by Robert McNee, president of the Whitby Branch, Rev. J. M. Cri- sall, chaplain of that branch, and Dr. Allan of Blind River, who ac- companied General Gunn to the banquet. NEW CHEMICAL TO AID IN COOLING AIRPLANE ENGINES Washington, D.C. Apr. 10.--Eth- yl glycol common base for many anti-freeze solutions, is an- nounced as the chemical developed by army engineers to replace water as an airplane engine cooling fluid. Use of the chemical is foreseen as opening an unlimited field for iu- ture development of water-cooled engines. The fluid, which is clear, color- less and odorless, boils at 387 de- grees Fahrenheit, It is (he first and smplest of polyhydric alco- hols and its constituents can be tained on the open market at reas- onable prices. Although simple in its compom- tion, the chemical was found to be the most satisfactory liquid for cooling airplane engines after six years of research by air corps en- gineers in the Wright Field lab- oratories in Dayton, Ohio. Use of the fluid, which 1s said to make possible a 75 per cent. re- duction of weight and air resis- tance offered by the present day water-willed radiator, is expecied to solve a problem that has been perplexing aeronautical engineers since the Wright Brothers con- structed their first plane and a proportionate increase in payload. Because of its very hgh boil- ing point 175 degrees above that of water, ethylene glycol, as a cooling fluid makes possible high speeds without overheating. Fixing Tax Rate Forest Hill--The tax rate for the year will be set at a special meeting of the council tonight. The rate is expected to be 30 mills, the same as last year's figure. BUDGET DEBATE MAY BE CLOSED THIS AFTERNOON (Continued from page 1) House. "Of late there has been brought into the discussion of the possible adjustments of the taritr, references to the St, Lawrence wa- terway. Fepresentations have been made to the effect that,'in some way or other, thse two qus- tions are being disucssed together, that the ome question is being made to relate in some measure to the othr, May I say that I can conceive of no greater misfortune than that the question of the St. Lawrence waterway should be mix- ed up in anp way with the question o fthe tariff of this country; or that the question o fthe tariff of Canada should be in any way re- lated to the question of the devel- opment of the St. Lawrence." Premier King spoke for nearly three hours and his speech was followed by crowded galleries and a fairly well filled house. He de- voted the greater part of his speech to answering statements made by Hon. Hugh Guthrie, who on March 7 moved the Conserva- tive amendment to the budget. Consequently, the Prime Minister's address today went exhaustively in- to the financial progress of the Do- minion, and compared conditions now with those prevailing under the former administration. He in- formed the House that the Govern ment looked upon the Conserva- tive amendment, and also the U. F.A. sub-amendment as want of confidence motions. British Preference The remarks of the prime minis- ter bearing on the sub-amendment which calls for consideration of an increase in the British preferencw, were significant. "Year after year," he said, "we have considered carefully wherein we could extend and increase (ue British preference, and I may say to my honorable friends, we intend to do that from this time onward. I want no misunderstanding as to why we have to reject their resolu- tion. It is not because we are not strongly in favor of the British preference, It is not because we have not comsidered it. We have made some increase in the British preference in the present budget. But I have to tell my honorable frignds frankly and firmly, and I think they must in their hearts agree with me, that there are strong reasons why, in this session above all sessions, we should do as little as possible to change the tar- iff. I think that is the wisest course we can pursue. Next ses- sion we will, as I have already said deal with the situation as we find it at that particular time." Mr, King took the ground that it would be unwise at the present time to take any action with re- spect to the Canadian tariff which might be regarded as "provoca~- - HEAR WITH THE NEW GEM Of interest to all deaf people is the knowledge that rclief is at last within their reach.

When it came to the work- steamed away westward, apparent- ly intending to combine forces with the revolutionary army in ing out of any international prob- lem, the success or failure of the negotiations would depend more than anything else on the atmos- phere of trust and good will be- tween the peoples interested. "I think it is all-important," said Mr. King, "that with respect to the tariff, as with respect to 'everything else, we should do all we can not to create an atmosphere that is hostile, but, to preserve an atmosphere of gooa will between this country and our neighbors to the south." MEXICAN REBELS ARE NOW UNITING (Continued from page 1) troops retreating from Sinaloa were moving closer to the federal border garrison, which is menaced by rebel forces on three sides, with Arizona to the north. Early today several hundred rebel soldiers and four 75 millimetre guns were re- ported to have passed 6 through Nogalse, Sonora, en route to Naco. Reports reached the little town of Sasbe, Sonora, held by 45 rebel soldiers, that a federal force under the command of General Abelardo Rodriguez, was marching east from Baja, California, to reinforce the Naco loyal barrison. A squad of United States infantrymen camp- ed at Sasbe, Ariz., said they had checked the movement of these federal troops with a field radio set as far as San Miguel, Sonora. Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, April 10.--Rebel troops who in- vested this city after a Sanguinary Sonora. A train of 26 cars, commanded by General Marcelo Caraveo and heavily laden with men, horses and equipment, left Juarez at 9.50 o'clock last night for an wunan- nounced destination. The city prac- tically was deserted of troops, only a handful of rebels remaining behind to serve as a rear guard. QUEEN MARY KEPT WAITING IN STORE Child Clerk Unable to Make Change for Royal Cus- tomer Pine Panelling for Summer Homes At this time of year, when summer homes are being planned, you will find much of interest in pine panelling. This can be supplied at a price in keeping with your needs, whether you are building a simple lake cottage or a pretentious country home. Pine panelling can be just as reason- able or as elaborate as the owner de- sires. In either case it lends original- ity and character to the room in which it is used. Bognor, Sussex, Apr. 10--Mem- befs of the Royal Family are not accustomed to being kept waiting, but Queen Mary had to wait re- cently. She paid a surprise visit to one of Bognor's little old-fashioned stores to buy some sand toys fur her baby granddaughter, Princess Elizabeth. There was only a child assistant in the store when the Queen en- tered, who, recognizing her Royal customer, served her with an ex- pression of awe and surprise. We have for display now, a room of our own done in this most popular and beautiful finish. It will be a plea- sure to show it.
