Australia and South Africa Makes Protest Abolition of Imperial Pref- erential Tariff Viewed With Dismay (By Canadian Press' Leased Wire) Melbourne, Australia, Jnly 12--A spirited protest against the abolition of Empire preferential tariffs, as in- timated by Right Hon. Philip Snow- den, chancellor of the British ex- chequer in the House of Commons last Tuesday, 'has been cabled to Premier Ramsay MacDonald by Fre- mier Stanléy M. Bruce, of Australia. Mr. Bruce pointed out in his cable- gram that while the matter of abol- ishing preferential tariffs was pure- ly the concern of the British govern- ment, it would seriously affect Aus- tralian industries, particularly sugar, dried fruits and wines The necessity of a conference to consider the whole question of inter- imperial trade was urged by Mr, Bruce. A dismal outlook was visualized if preferences were withdrawn, by Lieut.-General Sir John Monash, speaking on behalf of the returned soldiers who have settled in the dried fruit area.

T. Champion, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) The Archbishop of Canterbury's expression of opinion in convoca- tion yesterday concerning Bishop E. W. Barnes' choice of terms in which to set forth his convictions --an expression which virtually amounted to an open rebuke by His Qrace of this stalwart of the Modernists--is bound to have wide repercussions. Intervening in a lengthy protest by Bishop Michael Furse against Bishop of Birmingham (Bishop Barnes), the Archbishop said: 'The Bishop of Birmingham so frequently uses language of a vehement kind that he must not ge surprised if any of his brthren wish to call attention to any of its implications." Later on he re- marked: "I think the fact that it is 80 necessary for him from time to time to give an explanation of the phrases he usés must indicate to him that there is something in them making them peculiarly lia- ble to misconstruction. Every day I receive from every part of the church, both here and across the seas, indignant protests against the kind of language which the Bishop uses and--TI think it must be inad- vertently--wounds the consciences ann feelings of so many of his brothér churchmen. May I in a most friendly way appeal to him that in the development of what he feels to be right and in the enunci- ations of truths he deems impor- tant, he should refrain from prov- ocative language." . The Bishop of Birmingham will answer this by a restatement of his modernistic principles, He as- serts that if the Archbishop has received many letters condemning what he has already said, he has himself received many letters of appreciation. It was noted, however, that in convocation almost the whole body of Bishops, not merely those opos- ed to Bishop Barnes' views appear- ed gravely displeased at the Bish- op's attitude. Not so: much be- cause of his opinions as his man- ner of stating' them, as the 'Arch- bishop pointed out. There is some talk even of disc 'rlinary action against Bishop Barnes for '"heret- ical teaching" ' Under this provi- sion he could be cited by one or 'other of his brother bishops, or gy a. layman. before 'the Archhishop of Canterbury, oh account of al- lazad harstical teaching.

Members of the order attired in ritualistic dress mad wearing, in most instances, the ty- pical colors of the individual lodges to which they belonged, formed in ' marching order at the cenotaph and completed the long walk around the town. Thousands lined the streets to witness the affair. Colorful features of the parades: were numerous. The Loyal True Blues in their natty uniforms and' the Juvenile Lodge members in yel- low proved a source for the more favorable comment. The parade lasted for well over an hour and a half. Highways were unusually active during the day, and many cars bearing Orangemen or their friends were picturesquely decorated in or- ange and gold. The celebration will last until late at night, when spe- celal train sand busses will convey- the visitors to their homes. _ Tunnel Section Launched Windsor.--The fifth section of the Detroit-Canada tunnel was launched yesterday by the Porter Construction Company at Ojibway.
