LONDON PAPERS PRAISE THOMAS Says Success Due to Empha- izing Diffuculties and Minimizing Gains London, Eng.--The Times makes the following comment on the speech delivered by the Hon. J. T. Thomas, in the House of Commons: "There is sound sense and political shrewdness in Mr. Thomas's Speech It would' be unlike him to make a dramatic an- nouncement today which this year or next might prove hollow and empty. No small amount of Thomas's success is due to his ties and understanding the difficulties and understanding the gains to be expected. Now he avoids the risk of an anti-climax by combin- ing caution: with optimism. At the same time, he is obviously desirous of conciliating- his political enemies, He has no illusion as to the existence of a bottomless pit where- from money can be obtained' and therefore discards the notion that the mere spending" of money will provide a lasting cure. -It should follow: that the Government will seek to promowe commercial prosperity in every pos: sible way. Not the least interesting are the passages wherein it is sug- gested that Empire development will assist in providing work for depressed industries. There is not the remotest idea of solving unemployment at the expense of other parts of the Em- pire but by financing the development of 'overseas the Mother Country will share the common.benefite. _. , A { » 'Killed Returning 'home pants escaped uninjured: | _ 1 t (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Quebec, July 13.--Fifty small boats | t each with armed riflemen abcard and an acroplane laden with bombs are to be used by the provincial govern- ment in the p@rpoise hunt' this year. it is learned from Hon. Hector La- ferte, minister of ' colonization and fisheries. An aeroplane base will be established at Seven Islands, from which point a machine, supplied by the Laurentian Air Express will jour- ney periodically over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and "will drop its cargo ¢ of 'bombs on the mammals, The plane will act in co-operation with the boat crews, and wholesale slaughter of the porpoises, which are regarded as the greatest menace to fish that ever existed in the province, will result from the combined efforts of the two. branches, Last year fishermen of the district demonstrated that the only ways to combat the porpoise menace were either by. hunting them with armed boats or bombing them from the air, and in an effort to get rid of as many as. possible the two methods will be used. Eugene Comeau who recently lost his brother by drowning in the Lake St. John region is now down in the gulf banding the fishermen together to wage war on the mammals which have ruined cod, salmon and halibut fishing in that section of the province this year. A base will probably be established at Seven Islands with telegraphic| communication between the various posts and whenever a school of por- poises is reported the plane will fly out and bomb them providing the weather is favorable.
