RUSSIA-U.S. TRADE TREATY FORECAST Washington Recognition | of Soviet Regime Now Washington, -- As an immediate project to bolster . this country's foreign trade it is confidently pre- dicted in reliable sources close to! President-elect Roosevelt that re- | cognition of Russia will be one of | the first moves in foreign affairs undertaken by the new Adminis- tration. This intention, it is learned, is given considerable impetus by the recent indication from the De- partment of Commerce that a total of something over $200,000,000 of United States trade with Canada and Great Britain is likely to be affected by the Ottawa agrecments Loss from Empire Pacts While it is. emphatically made clear in all Department of Com- merce statements concerning the Empire preferences that officials by no means believe the United States will loose all or any large propor- tion of the trade in the commodi- ties covered bh. the preferences, there is enough evidence of a pos- | sible adverse effect trom them to make Governor Roosevelt's ccon- omic advisers urge that other trade opportunities shall be opened with as much speed as feasible to fill in the holes made by the Ottawa Conference, Chief among these opportunities, it is generally admitted here, is Russia. Although Senator Cordell Hull, Democrat, of Tennessee, one of Governor Roosevelt's principal international trade advisors did not specifically refer to resumption of relations with Russia in his recent statement assigning only a small place to the war debts in the gen- eral depression of world commerce, it is learned that he regards the in- clusion of Russia essential among the nations with whom this country should seek to enter re- ciprocal trade agreements, Committee Favorable It is further learned that Prof. Raymond Moley of Columbia Uni- versity, who accompanied the Pre- sident-elect in his conference with President Hoover on the war debt situation, is definitely in favour of a®@pprochement with Russia, Like- wise, it is ascertained that a priv- ate poll of the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee as it will line up in the Democratic Adminigtra- tion is overwhelmingly in favour of a more cordi.l attitude towards the Soviets. A new and potent force working in the same direction in the new Administration will be Senator- elect William Gibbs McAddo of California who has been outspoken in his championship of the idea that the Soviets have the right to any kind of government they de- sire and that this country should as Semet Solvay COKE $9.50 Under cover, positively dry GENUINE WELSH Anthracite COAL *13* Lowest Retail Prices in Canada D & H CONE-CLEANED AMERICAN ANTHRACITE a $13.50 Per Ton Cash Per Ton Cash Per Ton Cash "ABOVE PRICES GUARANTEED UNTIL DEC. 15 313 Albert St. Dixon Coal Co. Ltd. TEL. 262 (5 Lines) not hold off recognition because of opnosition to the regime set up by the Russian revolution. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, another close associate of Governor Roosevelt during the campaign, is also keenly in favour of Russian recognition, Secretary of State Stimson and varions of his closest associates in the State Department have for two years been ready to reverse the policy of hostility to Russia set by Charles Evans Hughes when he was Secretary of State. They weré prevented from so doing by Presi- dent Hoover, but had high hopes of persuading the President to re- lent in his attitude had he been clected. So many of the powerful busi- ness interests of the country such as the Bethiehem Steel Corp. had, swung around to favoring Russian recognition as the depression con- tinued that Mr. Stimson believed that a sufficient conservative argu- ment could be made to alter Mr, Hoover's position. Forecast in Three Months State Department officials priv- ately predict that Russian recogni- tion, or at least trade agreements, will be accomplished three months after Mr. Roosevelt enters the White House--that is, by the last of June, : Two of the chief factors which Lave been held up as forbidding Russian recognition--ever sincg Mr, Hughes stated them---are the So- viet refusal to recognize the debts of the Czarist regime to the United States and other countries and the propaganda activities of the Soviets. Department officials have believed for some time that the Soviets would be willing to sit down at a table and discuss the Czarist debt problem. NOVA SCOTIA BIRD FARM IS GROWING John Piggot's Sanctuary Adds to Knowledge of Feathered Friends Halifax, Canada.--A highly inter- esting little experiment in wild life has been undertaken at Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, by John W. Pigeot, who has set apart acres for development to suit the an area of 25| | | | | } | | | | | | | | fancies-of native and mirrang birds. | In the past season, which was the second of the enterprise, Mr. Piggot estimated that nesting bird life mn the sanctuary had increascd more than 500 per cent. : Mr. Piggot beran development ot his little tract by excavation of two large ponds and the grading of lawns. Now he is providing ever- greens, alder and birch thickets and willow-bordered streams; plans an arboretum of 15,000 trees and al- ready has 6000 of them in the ground. , He has played host to birds of many varicties. Bluebirds, not common in Nova Scotia, have found his nesting places, and var- ious kinds of swallows, The spring and fall migration seasons bring wild geese, ducks and other water- fowl and shore birds, resting on their long journeys, and twenty wild geese are making their per- manent home within his friendly acres. rity From computations based on his own observation Mr. Piggot has concluded that Nova Scotia normal- ly has a population of 67,000,000 wild birds which eat 56 bushels of insects every day. MADE BONAR LAW'S FIRST BREECHES Mrs. James Wood of Saint John Recalls Childhood of Statesman Saint John, N.B. -- Out ou Manawagonish Road in Fairville, a suburb of Saint John, lives an aged lady who made the first pair of breecheg ever worn by the late Rt. Hon, Bonar Law, once Prime Minister of Great Britain. Cele- brating her 92nd birthday, Mrs James Wood recalled how proud the young Bonar Law was when he wore his first trousers. It wag at Rexton, N.B., that Mrs. Wood was acquainted with the family of the late Rev. James Law, a Presbyterian minister and father of the distinguished Bri- tish statesman. When she mar- ried James Wood at Rexton 71 years ago, the ceremony was per- formed by Rev. James Law. Mr. and Mrs. Wood moved to Fairville 65 years ago, and on July 1 of the same year she wit- nessed Saint John's celebration of the first Dominion Day. Mrs. Wood's parents were Mr. and Mrs. Francis Peabody Sty- mist, United Empire Loyalists, who settled at Tabusintac, Nor- thumberland County, N.B. When she was 12 yearg old she moved with her family to Miramichi, and later spent several years at Rexton. Two sons reside with Mra, Wood and she is active in the housework. Frequently ghe rides into Saint John to visit friends. Neighbors who call upon her us- ually find her doing patchwork quilting or reading the daily newspapers. Her husbapN died a few years ago. Seven [sons and a daughter are living, CHINESE GIRL GETS AHEAD OF FATHER Parental authority was defied by a Chinese girl at Darwin, North Australia, recently. Her father, Jimmy Ah You, arranged a marriage for which several valuable presents had been sent from China, The daughter de- cided that a member of the un- employed was better than the husband chosen by her father, so she packed all the money, gold, Hot N ews!

Smith, daughter of Sauve, in telling of the manuscript today, said it disclosed Riel's body was not in the coffin buried in St. Boniface, but. was buried secretly clsewhere. In the book other famous char- acters of the west of those days are described, including Jean Bap- tiste Lagimodiere, who travelled on snowshoes from the Red River to Montreal. One of M, Sauve's ex- nloits as a4 young man was to dup- licate this feat of his ancestor, walking to Montreal and back, carrying nothing but his gun, He was gone a year, clothes and presents available, and eloped with her sweetheart by train to Birdum. Thence they flew south by aeroplane, The girl's two brothers followed the eloping pair by motor-car but did not catch them before the ceremony.

Sho seems to have been born knowing what she likes in the way of a story and what she doesn't like And like all folks with inherdn good taste, she just can't listen to anything that don't interest her. That ig the basis on which her father and mother, Sadyebeth and Andeon Lowitz work. Into these three chaming and instruc- tive books they have written only the material to which their own child responded. The facts are authentic and many of them fresh and brand new. For one book alone, the Christopher Columbus one, thos did tremendous research, ing Columbus' own diary, in ad dition to turning to 30 for specific data on debatable points. Catching Parents' Interest Their original idea, strength- end by the reception of their books have had, was to furnish children with good material but in form that would appeal to juveniles and also the parents who read to them. Columbus, under their treat- ment and "Bobbin"s" editing, breathes, eats and plays, he is happy, disappointed and reward- ed. In short Columbus steps out of the book a real person! "During the period of writing we consulted 'Bobbin' on every- thing by the method of trying this incident and that on her," Mr. Lowitz told me. "Her queries and remarks were largely respon- sible for what humor we were able to instill into the work. As with most children, animals fas- cinate her. So we have endea- vored to bring into the stories and pictures, all the mules, dogs, goats, camels, whales, iguanas, lizards, birds, flying fish, piz- fish, cofferfish and others that wc could."

MUSSOLINI COMES T0 THE RESCUE British Amateur Actors Given Special Consideration British amateur actors, who re- cently 'gave a performance of Shakespeare's "Merchant of Ven- ice" in Geneva, have to thank Signor Mussolini for the sumptu- ous dressing of their show. Silk costumes were ordered from the famous Scala Theatre at Milan, and permission was granted for their free entry into Switzerland. A few days before the production was to start, however, an Italian customs official informed the Brit- ish players that thev would have to pay a heavy duty on the cos- tumes when they were returned to Italy. It was only when the Marquis Paulucci, Italian Under-Secretary of the League, telephoned to his friend the Italian Premier that this pay- ment of duty upon the returned costumes was waived, and since then the customs official who had given the ruling is reported to have lost his job.

BAHAMAN SPONGES FOR ROYAL BATHS Montreal, -- It is likeiy that the traffic in sponges from the Bahamas to Canada will increase within the next few years, as a result of scientific culture meth- ods. The Bahamas once thrived on its sponge trade. The disan- pearance of the sponge beds due to movement caused by storms discouraged the industry, which now prospers on the Florida coast, although Bahama sponges are still brought to Canada in Canadian National ships and are received duty free here. Attempts to "incubate" and cultivate sponges from choica stock by attaching bits of the growth to shells and casting the "plant" into coastal waters, may prove a hoon to the indnstrr, Meantime the sponge trade is far from completely neglected in and around Nassau, the colony's capital.
