In outlining the policies on which the Conser- vative party will seek renewal in office at the general election on' May 30 the premier pointed to a conservative, sober policy of nurs- ing trade into better conditions, for development and encourage- ment of the colnies and assistance to agriculture as objects that were being accomplished. "We do not promise more than we can perform," the prime minis- ter emphasized. Britain's great contribution to the development of self-governing' dominions will be by giving them the best of her people, the prime minister declared, and by arrang- ing with them such terms of trade preference as could be reached.

Dies Suddenly Passed Away As Result of Heart Attack Early This Morning M.P. FOR 17 YEARS Represented Constituency of Frontenac-Addington in House of Commons (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, April 18--Hon. Dr, J. W. Edwards, Conservative member of parliament for Frontenac-Addington, died suddenly early this morning as he was being removed to the Ottawa Civic Hospital following a recurrence of a heart attack which had afflicted him earlier in the week. On Monday - night Dr. Edwards was first seized with an attack. He had participated in the commons de- bate: on the divorce issue and was leaving the chamber when "he sud- denly collapsed and had to be assis- ted to a member's room. He was under treatment in hospital until yesterday afternoon when he' return- ed to his seat in parliament. Dr. Edwards had apparently fully recov- ered and was accorded an ovation from all sides of the house. He did not take any active part in yes- terday's debates. During the night he complained of a recurrence of the cardiac trouble and as his condition became more acute was ordered to be taken to hospital, where he died at 3.20 this morning, a few minutes after he had been admitted. Of U.E.L. Stock Hon, Dr. John Wesley Edwards upheld the traditiong of the United Empire Loyalist stock from which he came, and he never lost the op- portunity .to further the. interests of the British Empire. Perhaps was never more clearly borne out than in his immigration policy, for the Frontenac-Addington member for years took the keenest of in- terest in immigration and especi- ally in the bringing into Canada of those of British birth. Born in Frontenac Born May 25, 1865, in Storring- ton Township in the County of Frontenac, Dr. Edwards was the son of George Edwards of Norfolk, (Continued on Page 9) Plot Discovered To Assassinate King of Bulgaria BOMBS FOUND IN KING'S PRIVATE RAILWAY COACH Warnings Given That Com- munists Intended to Kill STATESMAN PASSES SIR CLIFFORD SIFTON Notable figure in Canadian public life, who dropped dead. in New York yesterday forenoon.

Talk of Return To Dawes Scale Of Reparations FEAR OF FAILURE TO REACH SUITABLE COMPROMISE Committee: Headed by Lord Revelstoke Making Effort to Solve Problem 3 Press Leased Wire) Paris, April 18.--The 'confer- ence of experts orn' reparations to» day reached'a stage where it was necessary to consider the probable effect of a breakdown in negotia- tions and subsequent return to the Dawes plan. Negotiations and - attempts to reconcie the vastly divergent view- points of the Germans and the al- lied Nations were continuing, with a committee of eight headed by Lord Revelstoke seeking a. com- promise between the offer of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, German spokes- man, and the total Allies' claima. But so great was the difference between the two figures--a differ- ence estimated by some to exceed a present value of $3,000,000,000 --that there was a tendency in many quarters to envisage failure, and consider what was next. Reversion to the Dawes plan would involve continuation of basic annwities of 2,500,000,000 gold marks (about $600,000,000), with prospective increases dating from the beginning of the next fiscal year, and continuing to an uncer- tain total. Germany has repeated- ly insisted the Dawes plan an- nuities are far beyond her capacity to pay. The procedure of the Revelstoke committee was uncertain, but it was believed ' to be principally round table discussion. : It was expected that such negotl. ations as started today would con- tinue for several days and that there would be no further .plenary session of the experts committee for some time. "An almost immediate effect of redkddbwn, it 'was believed, o- | would be a request by the French Bulgaria with the dW unexploded' bombs in" the King's]! private railway coach last night. The bombs were of obsolete type but sufficiently powerful to have wrecked the railway coach, the police said.

OSHAWA ESCAPED FORTUNATELY IN THE REGENT FLOOD WATER WORKS, SEW- ERS, PAVEMENTS, NOT DAMAGED HERE City Engineer Smith Con- trasts Oshawa's Position with Other Towns Oshawa escaped rather fortunately in the recent flood, as far as most of its civic works were concerned, City Engineer W. C. Smith, told The Times today. The pavements did not suffer, 'and these Lo Gi works systems were not damaged to any appreciable extent." Gravel and dirt roads were the only civic/works that really suffered material dam- age and the repairs to these will run into many hundreds or perhaps even thousands of dollars, Mr. Smith said. In remarking that 'the Oshawa water works, sewers 'and pavements had not suffered any great damage, the city engineer contrasted Oshawa's situation with that of other Ontario towns. Mildmay, near Walkerton, had lost its entire water works plant, pumping station included, simply washed away by the force of the elements, North York, not many miles from Oshawa, had suffered much damage to its water works sy- stem. In the township of York, also, considerable damage was -done to sewers and to pavements, There were many streets which had been paved 'with narrow pavements without curd and gutter, in which a strip was left alongside them for the laying of sew- ers. These were literally washed out, Several other . instances. of loss in other municipalities that Oshawa did not suffer were also cited. shawa, in common with practi- cally all of the Ontario municipali- ties, suffered considgrable damage to its unpaved streets. This will cost the municipality a fairly large a- mount of money but-not heavier in proportion to 'the size of 'the city than in other places, Mr. Smith said. Work was proceeding as rapidly as possible in getting repairs affected, working on the wore heavily travel- led streets first, byt a definite sum- mary of the real extent of the dam- 388 was not available, Mr, Smith said, ACCIDENT VICTIM LOSES WHOLE ARM Toronto, April 18.----Despite the amputation of her right arm up wv Miss May Sehrum, 21-year-old victim of the Summer- last Sunaay morning, is reported by hospital authorities to be making good pro- gress towards recovery.
