BEAVERBROOK HAS PRAISE FOR STAND OF THE PREMIER Lauds Baldwin's Acceptance of Bennett's Plan (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) London, Eng., Oct. 11--=Lord Beav- cerbrook, in a statement issued last night, gives Kt. Hon, Stanley Bald- win, leader of the Conservative party a pat on the back for lining up with Premier Bennett of Canada for em- pirc preferences but declares also his empire crusade must go forward until success is achieved. He seems to have some doubts as to whether Mr. Baldwin, is prepared to make the full plunge. Lord Beaverbrook's says ~~ "Mr. Baldwin has declared himself in favor of an arrangement whereby a market for dominion foodstuffs is to be secured in Great Britain in re- turn for a wider market for British manufactured goods in the domin- ions. This would appear to mean he has adopted as his own the ends for which the empire crusade is striving and in he has indeed done $0. statement "I, like all other empire crusaders, must give him my cordial support. But before 1 say any more than that it will be right for me to ask him whether he really means what at first sight he appears to mean because while seeming to adopt the policy of the empire crusade he goes out of his way to discredit and damage those who urged it upon him so long and because he seeks to do so by suggesting that what they have urg- ed was something quite other than in truth it was." Lord. Beaverbrook adds that in view of Mr. Baldwin's attitude to- wards them the cmpire crusaders must continue fighting until they know beyond doubt that Mr. Bald- win's words regarding empire trade have a practical meaning.

PARALYSIS DEATHS INCREASE BY 14, ONTARIO REPORTS Number of Cases Also Up --Worst Over For The Year (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Oct. 11.--Infantile par- arysis in Ontario has taken toll of 14 more lives this year than in 1929, and the total number of cases ro far this year is in excess of last year's figures. There were 395 cas- es in 1929 and 440 up to the pre- sent this year. Deaths in 1929 numbered 23 and in 1930 so far 37. The disease has appeared over a more widespread area than is usually the case, and the type of disease in many instances has heen more virtulent than that observed in 1929. Toronto has been "contributing approximately between 20 and 25 cases per week for the past six weeks, There is no occasion for alarm; it is believed the worst is over for the year and that the outbreak will rapidly decline. Inaccurate diagnosis on the part of some physicians has resulted in a greater number of cases reported this year. These are the outstanding feat- ures of a statement made publie yesterday by Hon. Dr, John M. Robb, Minister of Health, "The disease this year to date has shown the characteristic course of other outbreaks," said Dr. Robb, "It commenced as a very mild out- break about the middle of June and towards the end of July the number of cases showed consider- able increase. By the middle of August the case incidence had in- creased to a point which in some localities was sufficient to cause considerable alarm. By the middle of September, as in last year's out- break, the peak had been reached, and by October 4 a marked de- cline was in evidence. !

U.S. Favors Helium Export But No Applications Have Been Received For Supply (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Washington, - Oct. 11.--The ex- portation of helium gas for use in foreign: airships is favored by. the United States government, This was definitely established through an utterance of President Hoover, who yesterday said that far from hampering the export of the precious non-inflammable gas, the administration wished to en- courage its sale abroad. He spoke to clear up what he held as a general misunderstanding since' the R-101 disaster on: the government's attit- ude, At the same time he took ve- casion to answer, critics on the authorized reduction of 4,800 men in the navy's enlisted personnel. Those who held this would cause unemployment, he said, also misun- derstand. He pointed out the re- duction will come gradually, through expiration of enlistments and through deaths. No one will be put out of the navy before his enlistment period ends, but re- placement through recruiting will be curtailed. Dealing with helium, Mr, Hoov- er said every application for ex- porting licenses made during the past two years had been granted, and that private industries manu- facturing the gas had been urged to develop the foreign market. Pre- viously it had been indicated by officials that only ona such applica- tion had been made by an United States producer and that this was denied because the application had neither orders nor prospects abroad. Before the president spoke, assis- tant secretary Ingalls of the navy, said no foreign interast had sought to obtain helium. Although this lifting gas saves atrships from the threat of fire, which is constant in hydrogen-in- flated dirigibles, officials have point- ed out that its comparatively low buoyancy sacrifices 25 percent of the pay load of an airship. This, coupled with the fact that the Unit- ed States alone has helium in com- mercial quantities, is believed to have deterred foreign governments and corporations from seeking to use it.
