MURRAY Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, Aug. 19~The need of good relations Between France and Germany as a prerequisite to stabil- ity in Europe, and the perseverance of Great' Britain in her policy of es- tablishing closer harmony etween the Empire and the United States, | were the outstanding features of the! first address delivered in Canada in the course of his present tour by the Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Churehill spoke today to more than 1,400 people at a Canadian club luncheon, and the speech was heard | by several hundred more in ante- rooms where amplifiers and loud- speakers had been installed. His re- marks were delivered incisively and furnished a comprehensive analysis, not only of present British policies, but of the course which these poli- cies will conceivably continue to take. Mr. Churchill discussed reparations | and disarmament, He strongly en-} dorsed the "virtle attitade" of the resent chancellor of the exchequer, Re. Hon. Phillip Snowden. He hoped however, that Mr. Snowden's defence of British rights would be carried out with a minithum of offense to other nations. With respect to disarmament, Mr. Churchill felt that it was all very well for other nations to point the finger of reproach- at the great inagnitude | of France's standing army, but that it shoud be remembered how France had been invaded twice in the pre- sent generation. France asked a greater assurance than mere prom- ises of disarmament; nor was Mr. Churchill certain that reductions in! arms would result in establishing a surer basis of peace than at present existed. Mr. Churchill explained the pur- pose of his present trip to Canada: as being to study the economic posi-| tion and the means by which trade! might be promoted within the Em- pire. During the coursé of his speech he would endeavor to make one continuous statement of the joint interests as between Great Britain and the dominions, conceived from the point of view of a member of the British House of Commons. Jt was his desire t ospeak in Mon- trea, however, of peace. No other association among men had so great an interest in the maintaining of peace as the widespread communities of the British Empire. "We have a greater need for peace than any other people," he said. "We have all we want in land and fame, we have all we want in natural re- sources, we have potentialities in the British empire sufficient to ab- sorb the whole energies and fenius of its many peoples for generations and even for centuries to come. All we require is the reign of peace and law and the confidence of the people which comes from the reign of peace and law. x Britain Leads Disarmament "From peace," he continued, "our minds naturally turn to disarmament and I think the British empire has set a good example in that, The British army is reduced to less than that little army that we had before the war. The air force is not half the strength of our nearest neigh bor and good friend. Even in the sphere of the navy, that vital founda- tion of the whole life of the British empire, we have made the greatest reduction which has taken place since the war, and we have ag to the principle that Great Britain and the United States shall be equal powers upon the sea." Mr. Churchill did not think - that France would be willing to reduce her army to such a point that noth- ing stood between her and invasion but the good-will and faith of the German people, nor was he at all sure that even if the French so ren- dered themselves defendless that the peace of Europe would rest upon any more secure basis than to-day. The only way to promote disarmament was to develop confidence and good- will between all nations, to develop alternative forms of national endea- vor in commerce, science and trade. The former chancellor of the ex- chequer touched upon the present reparations conférence; Subject to necessity for preserving world peace he cordially supported the very firm attitudé of the present chancellor of the exchequer, Mr. Snowden, in his dealings with certain provisions of the Young plan, ; "I cordially support the stand Mr. Snowden has made," said Mr. Churc- hill, "but 1 hope it may be done with a minimum of offence to others; that it may be maintained with a minimum of offence to others, ahd I hope that these larger considerations which are of immense importance to every nation will not be suffered to|h fall into the background." Own Attitude Mr. Chutchill outlined his own at. titude when he said that he had al- ways made it celar to M. Poincare that Great Britain believed the so- called Spa Dircentages of apportion- ment should be the basis of the new arrangement. At the same time he had rserved for the British govern- ment the right to review, and if ne cessary revise, the decisions of the experts' conference. "Here in Montreal, in this magni- ficent Dominion of Canada, which the whole empire regards with such deep affection and pride, I claim on behalf of the centrol government, which necessarily must take the ini- tiative must bear the burden of con- ducting foreign affairs, that our Eu- ropean policy since the war has been loyal, far-reaching and humane." The former chancellor. paid tribute to Canada's conditions and pointed to Quebec, where he had landed, as an outstanding feature of the genius of the British empire. The spectacle of the progress and power of the French-Canadians was only another example of that genius for reconcil- ing and combining within the British empire two great races, FISHING WITHTHE CORMORANT IN SUNNY JAPAN Dr. E. W, Gudger, Ameri- can Museum of Natural History London.--Cormorant- fishing in the rivers and lakes of Japan is carried on both as a sporting and as a com- mercial proposition. As a regular sporting attraction, usually carried on at night, it attracts a large number of sight-seers among the Japanese, and nd with lanterns, servants, and refreshments carry the visitors to the fishing grounds. A writer in the London Times, Ma- jor-General Palmer, gives a clear ac- count of how the fishing is done at night, by the light of great capes of blazing pine-knots suspended over the bow of each boat to attract the fish: . "There are, to begin with, four men in each of the seven boats be- fore us, one of whom, at the stern, has no duty but that of managing his oraft, In the bow stands the master, handling no fewer than 12 trained birds with surpassing skill. Amidships is. another fisher, of the second grade, who handles four birds only. Between them is the fourth man who, with a bamboo instrument makes the clatter necessary for keep- ing the birds up to their work. Each cormorant wears at the base of its neck a metal ring drawn tight enough tc prevent marketable fish from pass- ing below it, but at the same time loose enough to admit the smaller prey, which serves as having attach- ed to it at the middle of thc back a short strip of stiffish whalebone, by which the great awkward bird may be conveniently lowered into the wa- ter or lifted out when at work; and to this whalebone is looped a thin reiti of spruce fibre, 12 feet long, and so far wanting in pliancy as to min- imize the chance of entahglement. "The master lowers his 12 birds one by one ito the stream and ga- thers their reins into his left hand; and forwith the cormorants set at it their work in the heatiest and jolliest way, diving and ducking with won- derful ies Booty as the astonished fish come flocking toward the blaze of light. The master is now the bus- iest of men. He must handle his 12 strings so deftly that, let the birds dash hither and thither as they will, there shall be no impediment. He must have his eyes everywhere and his hands following his eyes. Spe- cially he must watch for the moment when ony of his flock is forged--a fact generally made known by the bird itself, which then swims about in a foolish helpless way, with its head and swollen neck erect, There upon the master, shortening in on that bird lifts it aboard, forces its bill open with his felt hand, which still holds the rest of reins, squeezes out the fish with his right, and starts the creature off on a fresh foray-- all with such admirable dexterity that in another moment the whole flock is again perfectly in hand." This account gives" the reader an excellent idea of this combined sport and business. As for the cormorants "...they are trained When quite young, being caught with bird-lime on the coasts. ge trained, they work well up to 15, often up to 19 or 20 years of age; and though their keep in winter bears hardly on the masters, they are very cious and profitable hunters months' season. For one bird will catch about 150 fish of four or five inches length in an hour, or 450 for | the usual three hour fishing trip. Every bird in a flock has and knows |' its numbers; and one of the funniest ethings about them is the quick-wit- ted jealousy with which they invari- ably insist, by all that cormorant lan- guage and pantomimic protest can do, on the observance of their recog- nized rights. No. 1, or "Ichi" is the senior in rank. His colleagues come after him in numerical order. Ichi is the last to be put into the water | If and the first to be taken ou, the first to be fed, and the last to enter the baskets in which when work is over, the birds are carried home. If, for instance, No.'5 be put into the water before No. 6, the rumpus that arises WANTED House with store front where owner will take good house In exchange. LYCETT 25 King E. Phone 205 during the five-| is a sight to see and a sound to] ear," Cormorants are also used in anoth- er way -- by men wading in streams. The cormorants are often as pointer dogs, and apparently full of perfect enjoyment. To. the right and left they plunge with lightning strokes, each dip br iigioe u a shinging fish. When the fish are sorted the small fish are thrown first to one bird and then to another. Each bird catches his share "on the fly" and makes a sound which doubtless means that he likes the fun and will be glad to try. it in at the proper time. (Note: The author guites at length from the accounts of many ancient and contemporary writers to show that this time-honored Japanese sport is carried on now much as it has been for centuries.)~The Scien- tific Monthly, RELATIONSHIP OF CANADA AND STATES LESSON TO WORLD So Declares Premier Fergu- son Addressing Apple Shippers ---- Toronto, 17. ~Six hundred uests attended Thursday night's in of the International Apple Shippers' Association in convention at the Royal York Hotel. There were no vacant chairs at 8 p.m, as Premier Ferguson: took his place at the head table. The blessing invok- ed by Rev. Canon Ward-Whate. Canada's relations with the United States were discussed by Mr. Fergu- son. He said: "We live alongside one another, two great nationalities in cordiality and' friendship. We are making a practical demonstration to all the world, that differences alike in economics and politics may be set« tled without resort to physical force. I think that the lessons to be learn= ed from the relationship between the United States and Canada have de- veloped more influence toward the dissemination of the principles of in- ternational peace, since the conclu- sion of the great conflict, than any other single world incident." Prouder 50 Years Hence The Premier said that while visit- ing at Geneva he had a conversation with Sir Eric Drummond, who had frankly said that the best and. high- est purpose of the League was to "endeavor to change the attitude of the peoples of the world, so that ev ery kind of international arbitration and friendly settlement." Continuing, the Premier said: 'We are proud of your 'tremendous progress south of the line. You have shown what can be done by detérmination" "#nd vision. We in Canada, when we have gone even a less period than you along the road of nationhood, believe that we will have reached your sta ture. The whole economic structure of the world has changed. These are speedy days--tomorrow will be faster still, T wish I could live 50 years hence. 1 am satisfied that you would be prouder to have Canada as your neighbour than even you are now." Premier Ferguson outlined the marvellous growth in the transporta- tion world--by water, rail, motor ana air--and reduced the whole govern- ment down to terms of comradeship, contact, and cordiality. "We have in- vested $200,000,000 in a highways sys- tem, not only for our own social and business needs--but in the hope that we may find opportunity to give you some pleasure; and, should you avail yourselves of that, you might find it necessary to leave behind you the odd American dollar here and there." In the laughter which followed the speaker was heard to add: "Because we take the American dollars here, without discount--just as we take the American people--at their face val- uel" Aug. The speaker drew attention to the development of air transport, giving due chronological credit to Alcock- Brown-Lindbergh. He concluded on the following inspirational note: "Ine spirit of patriotism is really the mov- ing force behind all people. If it means anything, it means national wealth, unselfishness, co-operation, and a maximum of effort in the de- velopment of your institutions. Now, on this.

Canon. Cody pointed out in attractive detail some of the historic parts which "the apple" has played in the history of man, and concluded with singing - phrases on the note sounded by Mr,. Ferguson, "We believe that if the British Em- pire and the United States of Am- erica=which were once part of it, and gtill. certain its language, law and traditions--were invited, the peace of the world would be secured, and the Prosperity of the whole future, I eliecve we shall ultimately work to such good purpose that the British Empire and the United States of America will together say: "We shall not allow war as a means of settling disputes in any part of the world' MAY PURCHASE COBURG UTILITIES Hoild Plebiscite Next Month on Water, Electricity and Gas Plants Cobourg, Aug. 19-~Visions of par- ticipation in a 15 million dollar split in physical assets and reserves and from the surplus accruing from the operation of Hydro utilities, will guide the votes of Cobotirg ratepayers in September when they decide whether or not to sanction the purchase of the electric, gas and water utilities = from the Hydro Commission of Ontario. for $316,771.41. A committee investigated the offer but sought further information. They suggested employment of engineers to determine the sum required to mod- ernize the pumping station so as to provide a greater water supply. The introduction of the latter clause in the recommendation of the committee was the outcome of repeated demands for more water by local industries, and if the utilities are purchased the ferme improvement will be along this ine. Oshawa, Peterboro, and Lindsay have purchased their systems; Belle- ville is on the verge of deciding the question ; there remain Cobourg, Tre- nton, Picton, Napanee, other -muni- cipalities before the entire system is operating under local commissions and before the fifteen millions prom- ised by R. J. Cooke, can be appor- tioned. In the event of purchase, a local commission would control the utili- ties under the supervision of the pro- vincial Hydro confmission; 30-year debentures would pay for the utilities and the surplus would go to celar off the debentures and improve the equip- ment, while a certain portion would go into the town coffers." Otherwise, and according to the president of the Central Ontario Power Association, the surplus would continue, as form- erly, to go into the general system, and there was also the possibility that a private company might take over the local systems. . The Hydro commission stipulates emphatically that all three utilities must be purchased or none at all. The price asked by the Hydro ia October of 1927 was $106,771.41 for the electrical system, on which an annual surplus of $12,168.71 was shown, The combined price for the water and gas plants was $210,000. The gas plant was breaking even, while a surplus of $3,745.30 was being realized per year in the water supply system. This brought the total price in the neigh borhood of $311,000. The prevailing opinion among rate- payers seems to be that the town has all to gain and nothing to lose. Some, however, are opposed on the ground that it will take thousands to modern- ize the system to take care of present demands. to say nothing of accommo- dations for the future. The plebiscite I of December will decide which opin- ion is held by the majority. "Russians who drift into China" says an observer, "are quickly ..ab- sorbed by the older race."
