The former held un- changed, but in view of conditions, it's hard to belleve those quotations to represent going values. Fresh prices were weak; at lower levels established yesterday, and might easily de¢line more again today. Futures were also easier, 'declining near the close to low prices for the day. Values were somewhat irregu- lar on spot egg call, extras being offered on spot at 263%c, though there was some effort immediately after the close to advance quota- tions, resulting in an unchanged ther indicated by the rather steady finish on futures.

NEWSPAPER HAS LITTLE PRIVACY Montreal, January 16.--"A news- paper has just about as much privacy as a goldfish, and 1 «| should say, no chance whatever of . dishonorable affiliations without be. ing discovered," declared E. J. associate editor of the Montreal Star when he recently ad- dressed the literary circle of Em- manuel Church on "Present Day Journalism." Newspaper 4% roblems and troubles of those who earn the their living working for them, were dealt with by Mr. Archibald, who declar- ed that the charge of commercial ism often levelled at the mewspa- pers, was ill-founded. The "large amount of advertising carried by the modern newspaper did not have anything like the effect on the edi- torial columns that the general pub- lic thought it had. On the con- trary: the type of advertising car- ried by a newspaper was a good in- dex to the reliability of that paper's general news. Modern journalism had abolished the day when a man could start his own daily journal on limited capi- tal with any hope of success, said Mr. Archibald. Factors were the expensive equipment necessary for the running of a modern metropoli- tan daily, the enormous outlay for world news services, and economic conditions generally. STATE INSURANCE OPPOSITION GROWS Montreal, Jan, 15. -- Opposition to the plan to impose state insur- ance 'in the province of Quebec without a full inquiry into the me- rits and demerits of such a scheme, is mounting steadily and discourag- ing proofs of the working of the scheme in Ontario are being produc- ed to show that it has not proved successful, it was revealed in a re- cent survey. Ontario showed a surplus over a period of 15 years, of $429,421 at the end of 1929, but this did nov take into account contributions by the Provincial Government of $100,000 annually from 1915 to 1923 inclusive, in addition to which |they paid the salaries of the com- missioners. The grant of $100,000 was discontinued in 1924 but the Government continued to pay the salaries of the commissioners until March 30, 1928. One of the most serious aspects of the whoje situation, according to protests made to headquarters of the Canadian Casually Underwr:- ers' Association, revealed by inquir- fes made today, is that the Govern- ment is inserting a wedge that might easily threaten other forms of private enterprise. Three years ago, it was learned taday by reference to newspaper files, Premier Tascherecau definitely turned his face against state insur ance and said, in the Legislature, early in 1928, that the Government had mo intention of interfering with private enterprise. This was de- cided, he said, after a royal com- mission, and a committee had re- ported against the idea of state in- surance. Now, it is pointed out, there has been a complete volte face and, without any inquiry, or warning, Premier Tasehereau has suddenly sprung this thunderbolt. Realizing the gravity of the sit- uation, business organizations in the City and Province are making a determined attempt to convince Premier Taschereau that he is shouldering a burden on the Prov- ince which, eventually, according to experience in other countries, will mean higher rates for insur- ance.
