Noting Further Test of Grain Route Ottawa, May 19.--Arrange- / 'ments to test the Hudson Bay tu a E A ot a sg 4 bh § ways Grain route further by a ship- ment of 2,000,000 bushels to be- 'gin from Churchill within the coming fortnight were an- nounced to the House of Com- mons by Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, Minister of Railways. The minister also lower insurance rates Hudson Bay route. "As I advised the House some weeks ago," - Hon, Dr, Manion sald. "The Department of Rail- and Canals has been doing everything possible to encourage a proper test during the coming season of the Churchill route, and about 10 days ago a repre- sentative of a responsible grain , company called up on me and made a verbal proposal to send 2,000,000 bushels of grain to the Churchill elevator won condition that the Government would not make any charge for elevation or storage, 1 requested that he should put his proposal in writing, which he did, and the matter' was then discussed with the Department of Prade and Commerce, the Board of Grain Commissioners and the officers' of my own department. a result of these discussions a satisfactory agreement has peen drawn 'up between the Depart- » ment of Railways and Canals and the grain company mention- ed, permitting the grain company to ship 2,000,000 bushels of grain forthwith to the Churchill ele- vator, the understanding being that they should ship out from that port at least 1,000,000 bush- els during the coming season. The grain company undertakes also that in the event of other exporters shipping through Churchill, it will lend such ex- porters any reasonable shortage to fill their boats and not charge a premium in excess of one-half cent per bushel for such loan. The borrower, however, must show evidence satisfactory to the board of grain. commissioners that he has provided for the full shipment that he is making. Other Shippers Not Barred Continuing, Dr. Manion said: The grain elevator has a 2,- 000,000-bushel storage capacity and a 500,000-bushel work house capacity. Therefore, even with the elevator storage spaee com- pletely filled, grain can still be moved through the elevator di- rectly from cars to ships, The permission, therefore, to the grain company mentioned for the use of 2,000,000-bushel storage space does not in any way pre- forecast for the "*"vent other shippers from using the port. In order to prevent congestion of grain at Churchill and at the PURELY /® VEGETABLE " Take them every so often. They'l Keep you HEALTHY 2 Ce YTERS similar to that in effect at Van- couver, will be put on, and grain 'will be allowed into . Churchill only under these permits, as and when vessel tonnage has been provided or storage space avail- able. The railways and the ex- porters are all familiar with the operation of this permit system, which has now been used. for six or seven years in connection with the port of Vancouver, I am informed that 1,250,000 bushels has heen already pur- chased by the grain company, and a movement to the Churehill elevator will probably begin within the next fortnight. The operation of the Churchill eleva- tor within the next fen days has been arranged for, and I see no reason why this whole movement cannot be made without any trouble whatsoever. Lower Insurance Hoped For The Government has. . been making every effort to have the insurance rates out of Churchill lowered, and I think that T may safely say that there is likely 'to be a slight lowering of the in- surance rates out of Churchill this season; at least, we are very hopeful of this hecause of cer- tain information which we have received, The fact that the charges for elevation and storage are elimin- ated, as they were last year, nat- urally cancels a good deal of the excess insurance, though, of course, it will be understood that the port of Churchill ultimately will have to operate on the same basis as other ports of the Do- minion, May I add, in conclusion, that every effort is being made by my department, and such efforts have been going on continuously, to have the Churchill route given a fairly complete test in every way during the season of 1932. FISHING AT FRENCH Eugene Madden, a ' nationally known sportsman, of Millvale, Pittsburgh, Pa. and an outstand- ing promoter of the policies Izaak Walton, recently that the supply of bass, pickerel, pike and muscalunge in French River can ever be exhausted by ordinary legitimate methods of an- gling. No matter how great the number of fishermen who visit Champlain's celebrated route from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay, they cannot seriously decrease the crop of the finny denizens pro- pogated annually by Nature, For ten years Mr. Madden has been a regular visitor at French River. To confirm his statement, he 'explains that the myriads of spreads, bays and tributaries of French River preclude it ever be- ing more than half fished by wvisi- tors. Game fish are raised there in great numbers and suffer no molestation during the spawming seasons, save from their natural enemies, Mr. Maddon added that it is difficult to find any body of water in any part of North Amer- ica, catering to such a vast num- ber of anglers, which compares with French River in providing such good fishing and maintaining it year after year, ol declared A farmer was plagued with a terrible wife who not only nag- ged him, but who, when enraged, threw things at him, At length she died, and on a wild and windy day was buried. The wid- ower has just returned from the funeral when a slat was dislodg- ed from the roof and hit bis head.

C. Davison Dis- misses Trades-Unien Schemes in Lecture Montreal.--While the present unemployment ginsurance scheme and its derivatives in Britain are far from perfect they do meet the needs of the situation fairly well, and are Infinitely more practical than the recently trades- union fostered scheme of non- contributory unemployment re- lief whose costs would be torn by general levies, according to Prof. Ronald C, Davison of the London School of Economics when addressing the League for Social Reconstruction in Strath- cona Hall . recently. Professor Davison is visiting Canada under the auspices of the National Council of Education. The speaker was introduced hy Prof. I", R, Scott, McGill, chair- man, as an authority on matters of unemployment relief and in- surance- and as author of two books on these subjeéts. Professor Davigon traced the development of unemployment relief from the establishment of hte Elizabethan Poor Laws to their modification in 1834 when the work-house was made the obligatory source of relief for the unemployed. Carried Workless He pointed out that the house was soon regarded loathing by the urban poor who endeavored to avoid entering it at all costs, but that it and spas- modic charity as well as public undertakings carried the British workless through many periods of stress, But the type of work provided even by the larger employment schemes in times of crises was nearly always of the pick and shovel type and unsuited to at least half of the workless, as he- came recognized in Britain soon It was also realized at the same time that the works accomplished were much too costly. : "'Best opinion now realizes in England," he said, 'that you cannot mix up relief with em- ployment, You must not hire labor just because it is unem- ployed, That way lies disaster. You must not start public works with the intention of having them affect unemployment condi- tions except through their econ- omic effect, "It 13 a said, "but it." Professor Davison the start of the first Health Insurance Act and the subsequent the unemployment insurance laws which applied to some 000,000 workers as a start, "It worked very well the war," he said. "And contin- ued to work well until the bot- tom dropped out of the labor market in 1921 when 12,000,000 workers in it." Gradual Relaxation The speaker pointed out that subsequently the number of un- employed was never less than 1. 000,000 and sometimes ap» proached 2,000,000, He referred to the gradual relaxations of the rules which followed. and the many abuses that crept into the operation of the scheme until last year the Labor - Government tightened the provisions, and was followed by the present Gov- ernment which made rules still stricter and cut the amount of work- with hard doctrine," he you must all come to described National in 1909 addition of " 3,- 2-PANT SUITS STUDENTS' YOUNG MEN'S & MEN'S In fine Hair Lines Oxford Greys Fancy Brown and Blue Serges worsteds 3 Holiday Prices Friday, Saturday and Monday hefore we had | Albert, France.--The Cross of the Legion of Honor has been pinned on the standard of this little city.

This was enshrined in a provis- ional chapel nearby and was the scene of many pilgrimages dur- ing the .vears immediately fol- lowing the war. the dole by 10 per cent, besides increasing the contributions, a result of these econo- mies," he said, *I believe that we will have saved $150,000,000 in the current year, and have very nearly balanced the insur- ance budget." He stated that the pensioned exserviceman drew unemploy- ment pay in addition to his pen- sion when qualified to do so and declared that the Minister: of Labor had instructed local au- thoritjies not to compel workless owners of their own houses to sell them before giving them re- lef. British trade unions like the American Federation of Labor at present, opposed the insurance scheme, and urged that the Gov- ernment ghould rather subsidize their own union treasuries, fear- ing that (hey would lose solidar- ity. This fear they lost after the scheme had been operating for a vear or two, To David Lewis, who an- nounced that a Montreal Labor party candidate would be select- ed next Monday to contest the Maisonneuve Federal by-election, Professor Davison told that the non-contributory type of unem- ployment relief scheme suggested recently by the British unions, was quite impossible as it would once more profit most thousands of those who would not ordinar- ily be entitled to the dole. "Profesgor Scott in opening the meeting mentioned the recent episode in the Canadian House, of Commons when Premier R. B Bennett had coupled the name of Hop. Vincent Massey with that of the league for Social Re- construction. He denied that Mr. Massey was anv way associated with the anization. NEW ROBOT FIRE ALARM IN SCHODLS Designed to Eliminate Pan- is in Public Buildings-- Occupants March Out to Music in or Montreal. -- A robot "hero", | mechanical counterpart of the | cool headed person whose calm voice directs less collected folk to gafety in time of fire, has been introduced to the world of sci- | ence through engineers of the Northern Electric Company. The | new contrivance, operated by electricity, was designed. to re- move the panic hazard from thea- tres, halls and schools. As soon as a fire starts, and before the acrid fumes of smoke have even' gone through the build the robot whirs to life. "There is a fire emergency but no immediate danger," booms a calm, but commanding voice through concealed loudspeak- ers. 'You must leave the build- ing. Leave your hats and coats and take you place in line. Steady now, don't rush. Follow the green arrows." Meanwhile the firemen are on their way to the scene, automat- ically summoned by the Tohot which has specified on which side of the building the fire originat- ed. When the firemen arrive a system of light signals at the front of the building tells them exactly where the fire is located. Occupants of the building march out to the strains of a mil- itary band playing through the loud speakers while green Arrows flash the way to safely. A special phonograph record produces the voice amplified au- tomatically. . The automatic fire detector uses special wiring which is _sen- sitive to heat. The core #§:a fusible alloy enclosed in a steel sheath which is slit along" 1s entire length, At 160 degrees Fahrenheit the alloy melts and expands forcibly. It spurts | through the slit and, making con- tact with an outer metal sheath, causes a short circuit that 'sets | oft the alarm. In actual installa- { tion, this wiring is placed through-out the building and a very small current, enough to spring the alarm is kept flowing through it. The music reproducer is asso- elated with am amplifier which may bé connected to loudspeak- ers of any size placed in any num- ber of rooms, hallways and audi- toriums. The apparatus is "elec- trieally supervised.' A small current, about equal to that con- suméd by am ordinary 60 watt electric light bulb, keeps the 'amplifier tubes warm and ready to operate instantly, and also no- tifies the local technician should 'the 'slightest misadjustment oc- eur. All the vital 'apparatus in the system is protected in a fire- proof vault. -. The inventors claim that the bell or gong of the traditional fi*e. alarm actually alarms and frightens people, but does not tell them what to do, Modern study of the effect of sound showed that clamorous sounds of that kind even in the absenc of an emergency, end to \ , 're- | morning WORLD TRADE HAS DECLINED Action Rapid Since 1929 Says Financial Review "From the depression year 'of 1921," states a review of the Clevgland Trust Co., "to the peak prosperity year of 1929 world trade steadily and rapidly increased in volume and in value, Since 1929 there has been a rap- id and continuous decline, s0 great in extent that the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce es- timates that the dollar value of world trade in 1932 may not ex- ceed 35 or 40 per cent. of that of 1929. The advance showm prior to the depression wag not a mere post-war increase, It was & con- tinuation of an almost steady growth that had been going on for over 100 years, and which had been a characteristic feature associated with the steady devel- opment of ecomomic prosperity during that long period. "International lending is one of the essential features of inter- national trade, developing their resources and are large producers of raw mater- jals, but have not yet assembled large accumulations of capital, are debtor nations. They borrow by selling corporate bonds to the investors abroad, The creditor na- tions have more capital than is required at home, and they lend by buying these securities. The repayments are In reality made by the balances between the ex- ports and imports of goods among the debtor and creditor nations. Show Steady Growth "These processes of interna- tional lending amd repayment have been going on for a great many years, and have steadily grown as world trade has increas- ed. They were sharply curtailed during the wave of security spec- ulation that swept over the world in the late prosperity period and reached its greatest excesses in this country. Since then interna. tional lending has almost ceased, and as a result world trade is de- clining, and will probably con. ! tinue to recede, for it camnot he revived without international loans, and foreign corporate bonds are everywhere regarded with deep disfavor, "Recent action on the part of the Mexican State of Hidalgo in moving to appropriate foreign holdings for operatfon as public utilities may be counted upon to have a serious effect in deterring the buying of foreign bonds, Such buying is essential if internation- al trade is to improve. The pro- posal by the State of Hidalgo may get nowhere, It may be thrown out by the senior government, but regardless of what may actually happen to the latest proposition, the intention of at least a portion of Mexico has been made clear. Make Similar Move "Peru made a move in the same direction a few weeks ago. Underground word has it that most . of the Latin-Americans would like to follow the example of the Mexican state and force matters through. If that is to be the policy, or even the unspoken thought of Latin-Americans, it must appear that considerable time must elapse before any of the big investing mations will ex- perience that return of confi dence in foreign placements which is essential before international trade can retum to its old level."
