H. A. Stewart Says He Is Impressed With the Necessities of the Situation and Intimates That the Government Will Do Its Best to Help The first stepping-stone in the plans of the Oshawa City Council and the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce to secure an adequate develop- ment of the Oshawa Harbor was well and securely laid on Saturday, when the Hon. Hugh A, Stewart, minister of public works in the fed- eral government, visited the city, in- spected the harbor and its facilities, and was the guest of the city coun- cil at luncheon in the Hotel Gen- osha.

B. Ben- nett of Canada by common consent, steadily grew in stature as the weeks went by. "He set the ball rolling at the outset, even if his de- but was thought at the time to be a trifle too dramaic and, perhaps, algo a trifle immature," said the Times, ,'By the end of the confer- ence hé had established a great reputation as a statesman of real power, of practical business experi- ence and with a capacity for ex- pression." > Premier James Scullin of Aus. tralia, though naturally hampered by the situation behind him in the comonwealth, rendered notable ser- vice as a mediator, said the Times, especially in the concluding stages of the conference. Premier G. W. Forbes of New Zealand was univer: silly popular and so, for different reasons, was Premier James Barry Hertzog of South Africa, who "falsi- fied every prediction that he had come to obstruct the conference by raising difficulties."
