At Friday's meeting, Mr. Allichin was criticized by other members of the commission for giving this information to others. The letter from Bathe and Me- Lellan is as follows: "To the Editor, Oshawa Times, Oshawa.

"At a time when the air Is charged with 'sporting chances,' may we make this sporting prop- osition to them: We ask that they do as they suggest--Ilay the documents that -were signed, hands of the Secretarya -Or sealed and delivered into the Commission before noon of the twelfth instant, at which time the tenders closed, before the county judge, and we, if wrong, feeling that it would be a shame that the public should bear. all the expense, will pay one hundred dollars of the costs, if on the oth- er hand, the members of the Commission who were instrumen- tal in putting the affair through, will personally, if wrong, donate the same amount between them to the same end, If our action was not justified, we will be very pleased to pay up, look pleasant, and to extend through your columns a sintere apology for any innuendoes or unpleasant remarks that we may ave made on the subject.

Reports assembled here gave the impression that Chiang Kai Shek, President of the Nanking government, was ready to order Chang Hsueh Liang to lead troops into action against the Jap- anese. Commission Proposed Paris, Nov. 23---Aristide Briand presented a new Manchurian pro- posal to the League of Nations council today, but the council was reported to have declined to ap- prove it until the Chinese and Jap- anese delegates had looked it over. There was no official description of the new suggestion, but persons on the inside said it provided for an inquiry in Manchuria by a commis- sion of three neutrals, one Chinese and one Japanese, Says Voluntary Method of Raising Funds Unfair Expressing the opinion that the plan of raising relief funds by bscriptions was un- fair, Ross Mackinnon gave to the Oshawa Rotary Club at its lunch- eon today some of .the thoughts which had come to him as a re- sult of the campaign of last week. "I am satisfied," he said, "that this method of raising funds by voluntary methods is unfair. There are subscriptions on the list that should not be there, be- cause some ple gave more than they were really able to give. On the other hand, there were others which should have been 'bigger. That, of course, is not for me to judge, as it is left to the conscience of the individual, but I think it is unfair, and that the relief, funds should be raised thro e tax rate, so that each would have to give in accordance with his ability. Yet, it is only fair to say that reds who gave hun SLT to a hearty expression of thanks tendered to him by the club through Alex, G. Storie, president of the Associated Welfare Socie- ties, who paid a tribute to Mr. Mackinnon for not only organiz- ing the campaign, but doing it in. such a manner as to have the eiti- zens attuned to the spirit of giv- ing. Mr. Mackinnon, on his part, sald that the credit belonged pri- marily to the citizens who gave so generously, and also to the workers, rather than t'> himself, and that it had been a pleasure to be associated with those citizens who had taken part in the cam- paign.

E, Bracken, pre- sident of the Toronto Milk Pro- ducers' Assoclation that they should be satisfied with what they were getting now in view of the low prices prevailing for other farm commodities. Three hours discussion of their problems failed to bring action although the principle of closer co-operation between producer and consumer was established and unanimously approvea, Mr. Bracken warned the farm- ers that if they sisted in their agitation for cheaper milk for the consumer the public would get the cheaper milk but it would come out of the pockets of the producers.
