new york in the heart of midtown man hattan were raided by the govern ment forces according to federal authorities the ring was the chief smuggler of foreign liquors into terri tory along this coast and the federal offensive against it was a spectacular one every move synchronized plans for this attack authorities indicated were in process of forma tion for the last six months and when the final word to move was given vcry detail of the operation was syn chronized the movements of each man were directed by the second hand of his watch and the activities of each group of raiders fitted smoothly into the doings of every other group at the appointed hour a federal operative stepped quietly into the cottage which housed the rings un licensed wireless station placed the wireless operator under arrest and slipped into his place before tho sput tering key while he directed a big liquor boat belonging to tho syndicate into a carefully planned rendezvous with a coast guard

contingents in now york city and long island began a series of assign ed operations that kept them occupied far into the night plans laid last spuing plans for the actual consummation of this clocklike operation began early last spring when a federal radio in spector intercepted a strange code message the code proved baffling nor could its origin be traced then followed weeks of effort to de code the mysterious cipher and when finally it was found a careful check was kept upon tho syndicale3 mes sages not a message was sent but was recorded by government oper ators not a pint of liquor was landed it wa3 said but what knowledge of it was laid before prohibition officials all the operations of the six ocean going ships owned by the ring were carefully followed even the banks where the syndicate deposited its money were known and subpoenas upon them prepared hard ly a detail of the operations of a com plicated organization which turned out each week it was said illegal liquor valued at 1000000 at retail prices but what was known to tho govern- ment only when a federal wireless oper ator had learned the secret code so well that he could slip into the un licensed operators seat without a break in the message being transmit ted and when all other details were thoroughly mastered was tho raid ordered and so complete was its suc cess prohibition authorities declared that where ordinarily weeks would have been required to clean up evi dence the entire raid was almost com pletcd in less than a single day more than 1800 persons hear address at royal york hotel toronto tho

ruling that women aro eligible to be summoned and to be come members of the canadian sen ate tho judicial committee ot the privy council emphasized that it was unwise to apply to modern canada tho decisions which had been taken prob ably rightly by those applying tho law in different centuries and differ ent circumstances the privy council rendered this opinion ou tho appeal by five women of alberta against an adverse decision of the canadian supremo court cocntrary to tho supromo court the privy council came to the conclu sion that word persons includes members of both the malo and femalo sex tho appeal hinged upon tho moaning to be placed on the word persons as contained in tho clause ot the british north america act the lord chancellor of great bri tain lord sankey delivered tho judg ment taking the unusual course of reading it in full before the court for some yoars it has been the practice merely to announce the general result nd to hand out written copies to those interested tho judgment was of exceptional interest not only for tho constitution al point involved but because it also raised tho question ot the general ulatiw ot women mackcnzic king clad on loarjjjng ot tho decision of the privy council that women were elig ible for tho senato mr mackenzie king said that ho was very pleased ho added that it had boon tho inten tion ot the government had the de cision boon against the admission ot women as membors of tho upper chamber to proposo an amendment to tho british north amorica act the decision of the judicial commit tee howovcr makoa this unnecessary it is arsumod here that tho govern ment will doubtless in the very near future appoint ono or more women to the seuate there arc five vacanclos two for ontario one from manitoba and two from quebec lord sankey remarked that counsel on both sides had invited their lord ships to consider the legal position ot women from the earliest times their lordships accordingly turned to two points first the oxternal cvldcnco as derived from extraneous circum stances secondly the internal cvl dcnco derived frcm uio british north america act relic of past on the first point said tho lord chancellor it was found tho exclu sion o women from alt public offices was a relic of days more barbarous than ours but it must be remembered the necessity o the times often forced on man customs which in later years were unnecessary such exclu sion is probably due to the fact that the dcliberateive assemblies of the earlier tribe3 wero attended by men under arnrs and women did not bear arms yot- tho tribes did not despise the advice ot women tho likolihood ot attack rendered sucha proceeding un avoidable and aftor all what is neces sary at any period is a question tor the times upon which opinion ground ed by experience may move one way or another in different circumstanes i this exclusion ot women found its i way into tho opinions of tho old ro- i man jurists lord sankey proceeded the barbarian tribes who settled in i tho roman empire and wero exposed to constant dangers naturally pre served and continued tho tradition in england no woman under tho degree ot queen or regent married or unmar ried could take part in government until recent times a woman was un der legal incapacity to bo elected to servo in parliament and oven if she was a peeress in her own right was not nor is she yet entitled as an in cident of her poerago to rcceivo a writ ot summons to tho house of lords excluded by law women wero also until recent times excluded by law from taking part in

this tradition tho judgment of tho chief juslico of canada relies upon theso cases but their lordships think thoro la great forco in the viow taken by mr justice duff with regard to them when ho says

this par ticular region and in order to attain that end between tho countries bor dering on this ocean wo must cooper ate and all of thoso nations must bo determined to do so when wo talk about relations be tween canada and japan wo must first look upon them as constituting part ot the group ot countries border ing on tho pacific i think canada and japan being the two older countries on the pacific must do their utmost to strive for a continuanco ot tho friendliest rela tions that exist today and in order to cooperate towards that end we must know each others rcquirei3nts economic and otherwise so that wo may be able to adjust any differences as to those requirements if necessary on my arrival in british colum bia went on mr takugawa i felt i must emphasize this point because i need hardly say that this province is tho one whih is really japans neighbor it also holds tho greater part of the japanese population in this country and is the province through which wo do most ot our trado with canada i greatly regret that i must pro ceed at ouco to ottawa but i hopa to come back as soon as tho oppor tunity presents itself and then as l shall presented my credentials to the government i shall be able to take part in official functions which on this occasion i have not been abla to accept trade development the purpose ot bis work in canada said hon mr tokugawa was to look around and determine the wisest course to adopt in the interest of both countries particularly with respect to the development of trade the question ot trade enters large ly into the work ot the new japanese minister to canada mr tokugawa said trade between canada and japan was a vital thing and he would like to see trade between the two countries develop to an over greater extent he considered it important that tho balance ot trade should be as even as possible and with tho object of keep ing trade even he hopes a way may be found of increasing japans ox- ports to canada on his departure
