March Automobile Production Totals 594,000, Breaks Record Philadelphia, Pa., April 11.-- Breaking February's all-time mo- tor vehicle production record by nearly 100,000 units, total car and truck production in the United States and Canada during March totaled 594,000, according to re- ports. from the National" Automo- bile Chamber of Commerce and the Ford Motor Co, N.A.A.C. members produced 412,000 vehicles while the Ford production was about 182,000. This makes a total out- put for the first quarter of 1929 of 1,514,000 units, over half a mil- lion more than were produced dur- ing the same period of 1928. Keeping pace with production, exports have arisen to new heights with January sliipments to foreign markets totaling more than 62,000 units. That figure has been exceed- ed only four times and they were during the latter half of 1928. Par- tial returns for February indicate foreign sales 66,700 units. As this figure does not include unreported foreign assemblies, which in Jan- uary amounted to 13,800 vehicles, it appears that the total of Febru- ary exports will be nearly 80,000 units, far above the best previous record. Chevrolet Motor Co., broke all monthly production records in March with an output of 147,274. cars and trucks, compared with 121,249 cars and trucks in Febru- ary and 133,657 units in Maren, 1928. The best previous month in the company's history was May, 1928, when output was 140,775 cars and trucks. Total output for the quarter just ended was 354,701 cars and trucks, compared with 342,184 units in the corresponding period last year. Olds Motor Works has a tenta- tive schedule of 15,000 cars for April. March production exceeded 12,000 units, which was 4,000 more than were built in March, 1928, a gain of 44 per cent. The company shipped 16,000 more cars during the quarter just ended than in the corresponding period last year. Buick Motor Co. reports March production as 15,206 cars. Accord- ing to A. H. Sarvis, assistant gen- eral sales manager, Buick new car stocks in the field are very satisfac- tory. Retail demand has increased. Cadillac Motor Car Co. announc- es shipments of 4,009 Cadillac and LaSalle cars in March, a 10 per cent Increase over February. The company entered April with a con- siderable quantity of unfilled or- ders. Deliveries are running ahead of last year, according to President Fisher. U.F. LOYALISTS MAY PRESS U. §. CLAIMS Meeting in June Will Decide Whether Action Should be taken to Recover Lands Belleville, Ont., April 11.--Unit- ed Empire -Loyalists throughout Canada are becoming somewhat deeply interested in, their claims against the United States, sald Magistrate W. C. Mikel, K.C., vice- president of the United Empire Loyalists Association, in a state- ment published here recently. This question of the return of the lands to the Loyalists or payment of com- pensation by the U.S. Government will be considered at the U.E.L. Celebration at Deseronto next June, Mr. Mikel said it should be borne in mind that it would be difficult, expensive and practically impos- sible for an individual to succeed in establishing in an action a right to the possession of !and in the United States owned by his original U.E.L. ancestors after 145 years. Apart from this right of action the claims of the loyalists he said were only of an equitable or non-legal character arising out of the Treaty of Paris and not enforceable by legal proceedings. Therefore U.E. Loyalists should hesitate seeking private assistance. The United Em- pire Loyalists Association of Can- ada, incorporated by the Domin- ion Parliament is thé only organ- ization that can properly represent the Loyalists, he said. Hon.

Generator & Starter Co., Ltd. 15 CHURCH STREET OSHAWA, ONT. ----. Washington is the proper person to approach. the U.S. Government, should it be decided to make an ap- peal to urge redress for the Loyal- ists under the Treaty of~Paris. By Treaty of Paris, 1783, after the Seven Year War, Great Britain con- 'sented to the separation from the Empire, of the thirteen British coi- onies in America, While a con- siderable number of the people of these colonies rebelled a large num- ben remained loyal to the Empire. The thirteen Colonies rebelled because of the Quebec Act passed by the British Parliament in 1774, which gave the privilege of the Ro-~ man Catholic religion to the peo- ple of the fourteenth Colony ot Quebec and extended the borders of Quebec on the West, taking mn what is now Ontario, part of west- ern Canada and also the Ohio coun- try now part of the United States. The British Parliament, while re- pealing all the other Acts woula not repeal the Quebec Act, so that the fourteenth, the Roman Catho- lic colony of Quebec, remained loyal to the Empire, while the other 13 rebelled. By Article 5 of the Treaty of Paris after the close of the war, the Government of the United States wag to arrange for the vari- ous State Governments to. provide for the restitution of the Loyalists of "estates, rights and properties." These 'estates' rights and proper- ties" have never been restored. Friends of the various State Gov- ernments, during and after the war, squatted on these lands of the Lo- yalists and refused to give them up and the various State Governments submitted to the influence of those land grabbers, who in fact got some of the State Legislatures to pass Acts that made it impossible for the Loyalists to remain in or re- turn to the States to seek their rights, Mr. Mikel declared. This was a very distinct breach of faith, Mr. Mikel said. It was treating the Treaty of Paris as a scrap of paper. . There is no doubt that in early days of the New Republic follow- ing the Treaty of Paris the Central Government of the U.S. was very shaky and some thought at times that it would not survive. He said this may have been an excuse for the non-fulfillment of the terms of the Treaty at that time but the U.S. Government is now, however, in a very strong and powerful po- sition and should see that the spir- it of the Treaty of Paris is carried out, he added. There are thous- ands of descendants of the U. E. Loyalists in the Bay of Quinte, Dis- trict of Ontario, alone, whose in- terests in those 'estates, rights, properties" would now be worth many millions of dollars. There are also U.E. Loyalist families scattered all through Canada, Mr. Mikel, local master of the Supreme Court and Magistrate of the City of Belleville, is a great grandson of the late Godlove Mi- kel, who was an officer in a Brit- ish regiment, recruited from the loyalists in New York during the Revolutionary War. Godlove Mi- kel owned g farm which is now part of a large city in New York state and without the buildings now erected upon it {is worth a large sum of money, Magistrate Mi- kel has therefore a personal as well as a general interest In these claims and would naturally be glad to know that these claims could be enforced but he takes the ground that as the Treaty of Paris wus made, not with the individual Loy- alists but with the Government of Great Britain that the individual Loyalists have mno legal claim against the U.S. under the Treaty although ~ their equitable claim might be taken up by the U.E. Loy- alists Association of Canada, and presented through the Governments of Canada and Great Britain, He believes that now or later the Unit- ed States Government will recog- nize the justice of the claims of the Loyalists and the wisdom of carry- ing out in some form the terms of the Treaty of Paris. "To allow an important Treaty like the reaty of Paris to remain unfulfilled must naturally diminish the self respect of the people of United States and affect the in- fluence of that country as a Pan American power," he sald. "How can they expect nations to go into treaties with them with the Treaty of Paris unfulfilled?" The State of South Carolina did restore the estates of some of the Loyalists.

Liquor enters in a flood--hun- dreds of thousands of cases annu- ally. The traffic is handled on a strict business basis. It combines, curiously, the glamor and thrill of the old-time smuggler with the ef- ficiency and cold calculation of the modern -high-pressure business en- terprise. Told By Skipper These facts are revealed as an aftermath of the sinking of the I'm Alone by the U. S.'Coast Guard cut- ters Walcott and Dexter. Captain John Thomas Randell, who dived from -the deck of the sinking smuggler to be rescued by the coast guards and brought to New Orleans in irons as a prisoner, told an interviewer about them as he lounged beneath the apple blos- soms in a peaceful orchard in rural St. Tammany parish, across Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans, and waited for his trial in federal court. Life Of Excitement Captain Randell can tell an in- teresting story. He has craved ex- citemient all his life--craved it, sought it, and found it. The epi- sode of the I'm Alone is only the latest incident in a long series; the latest, and hardly the most inter- esting 'or thrilling. He holds for example, a Distinguished Service Cross, awarded him for sinking a couple of German submarines dur- ing the war. Then, before that, he fought wlth the British army in South Af- rica. He was a Gallipoli, too, dur- ing the War; and later on, with the battle fleet, he was at famed Scapa Flow, helping Britain keep the North Sea secure. Two years ago he took command of the steamer Morso and sailed from Halifax to the Arctic on a sci- Government. He explored desolate coves in Hudson's Bay, flew an air- plane over ice packs, drove a dog team on journeys to the interior, helped the Royal Canadian Mount. ed Police to solve a murder njss- tery--had, in short, a fine time. Then he returned to Halifax. He discovered that it would be about a year before he would be going to the Arctic again, and he disliked inaction. Takes Over Schooner A- Canadian shipping concern had just bought the trim schooner I'm Alone, which had made some- thing cf a reputation on the At- lantic Coast. The new owners proferred the command to Captain Randell. This was last October. "TI couldn't see the idea of just loafing about in Halifax," he ex- plained. "So I took the berth bhe- cause I thought I'd get some excite- ment----and I did, entific mission for the Canadian "I took the ship at Lunenburg, and we cleared in ballast for St. Pierre. There we took on a cargo of 14,000 cases of assoated liquors, bought from the Great West Wine Co. "Just before we left St. Pierre. an employee of the Great West Wine Co. came to me to explain how I was to deliver my cargo. I never knew the names or identi- ties of the consignees. I didn't have to. They. had a better' sys- tem. "This man gave me the torn halves of about a dozen one dollar bills. I got one half of each bill you see. Then he told me to take my ship to a position thirty miles due south of Trinity Shoals light- buoy and deliver my cargo to the person who presented me with the missing half of the lowest-number- ed of the bills." Takes No Chances Thus do the modern rum run- [nets make sure that there will be no chance of a cargo landing in {the wrong hands through forged papers or mistaken identities: "Well," resumed the. captain, "we went to that spot, and after a | brief delay there a large motor {boat came alongside. A man came | aboard and handed me the missing | half of my lowest bill. So I de- livered him my entire cargo. We transferred it into his motor boat, cast off, and headed back for an- other cargo." The second cargo, consisting of some 2,700 cases of liquor, was delivered like the first, without a hitch, said Captain Randell. Then the I'm Alone put off to Belize, in ritish Honduras, for a third car- go. And it was this cargo that was destined to cause the trouble. Instead of reaching the hands of the consignees at New Orleans, it went to the bottom of the Mexi- can gulf, cost the life of one sail- or, and landed the government of dle of a puzzling international dis- pute that has not yet been solved. « No Money Passes Captain Randell, in telling of his cargoes, revealed that no money changes hands. Payments are all taken care of separately. The ves- sel is hired, just as any other ship i8 hired, to carry aieargo--quite as if ge were unloading: if cane, or cotton, or railroad' ties, or any. 'He knows who hired hi f does not know who.gets" traband he brings if, or how. fii¢h is pad for it. TEARTY yd » or smuggling, 'in other' semi-piratical condition of its in- fancy and has become a business. To be sure, it has phases that most businesses lack. Captain Randell, for instance, was unavoid- ably delayed on his second trip. A coast guard cutter was prowling near the rendezvous, and after "playing tag' for a day or so, the I'm Alone put back to Belize to wait for a better opportunity. The crew loafed for a few days, while the schooner swung at anchor there; then it started out again, and this time managed to dodge the patrol and deliver the cargo. Then there was the incident that ended the final trip. BRITISH SYNDICATE WANTS TINY ISLAND | Pending Purchase of Jan Mayn, Off Greenland, Reported Oslo, April 11.--The possibility of trans-Polar air routes and the growing realization that there is a certain wealth in Arctic and Ant- arctic fisheries and possibly large mineral resources, have revived Norwegian interest in its Polar possessions. Norway's interest was stimulat- ed by a combination .of recent events, culminating in the an- nouncement that an unknown Bri- tish syndicate was attempting to buy tiny Jan Mayn island. The announcement followed recent statements by Bert Hassell, Am- erican aviator, and Capt. Albin Ah- renberg, Swedish aviator, that the far north was the logical location for an air route from Europe to the United States. Jan Mayn Island, midway be- tween Spitzbergen and Greenland, was claimed in 1920 by D. Jacob- son, a Norwegian. The following year he extended his claims and notified the Norwegian Foreign Of- fice. Government officials visited the island, took possession in the name of Norway, and erected a ra- dio and meteorological station on part of the land Jacobsen claimed. Jacobsen protested erection of the station but was not heeded un- til he announced he was arranging a sale with British interests. The Government {immediately brought suit to prevent the sale, and the case now is pending in a Norwegian court. : It was recalled that a British syndicate recently acquired virtual control of one of Norway's largest whaling industries, and that a dis- agreement has arisen between Great Britain and the United States over Commander Richard E. Byrd's discoveries. The question was raised as to what motive the British firm could have in seeking to buy Jan Mayn Island. The public has watched developments closely: An American movie actress told a reporter that she could not say for sure whether she was happily the United States right in the mid-4 other perfectly proper commodity, | words, has passed out of the wildy | * eon-| "J Rice Krispies is the new cereal that's making such 2 hit.
