AHURSDAY, APRIL 3, | 942 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE THREE Canada To Press For Seat At Further Peace Conferences & > Newfoundland Set For Conferences; May Desire Union IL SE Ottawa, April (CP)--A delegation from Newfound- land will arrive in Ottawa probably this summer to discuss the terms under which the island might become Canada's 10th province but whether or not the colony would favor a union remained a matter of speculation in the capital today. External Affairs Minister Ste Laurent, announcing the New- foundland national convention had appointed a seven-man delegation to come to Canada, told the C n- mons yesterday the federal gov- ernment would be "happy to re- ceive" it. Just, what the delegation would seek in the way of terms for union were a matter of speculation but it was recalled that only one mem- ber of the 45-man national conven- tion elected last June to recom- mend a future form of government for Newfoundland 'had openly ad- vocated confederation. He is J. R. Smallwood, of Gander, Nfld, and will be a memlir of the delegation coming to Ottawa. A Canadian Parliamentarian in close touch with Newfoundland af- fairs offered the unofficial opinion that the island would not be anx- fous to become Canada's 10th prov- ince. Newfoundlanders, he said, had so often heard that the Maritime provinces do not get . their fair share of the benefits of Confed- eration that the colony would want some other set-up. He even suggested that Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick possibly could join with Newfoundland and Labrador to make one big province which would have the importance of On- tario and Quebec in the Canadian federated family. However, politi- cal circles in the Capital question whether the Maritime provinces would agree to such an arrange- ment. Reserve Judgment In County Case The Ontario Court of Appeal re- served judgment yesterday on an appeal by Toronto East General Orthopaedic Hospital from the Judgment of His Honor Judge Lov- ering, dated February 11, 1947, in anaction against the County of Ontario, Judge Lovering had dismissed the plaintitf's action to recover $316.50 against the County for hospitaliza- tion supplied to one Mabel Struth- ers who was admitted from the Township of Pickering, A.

No Increase in Coca Cola Prices Here The price of Cola Cola to dealers in the Oshawa district will not be increased, it was learned from Mr. Hambly of Hambly Beverages this morning. This is despite the lift- ing of the ceiling on soft drinks and the increase in the price of sugar, Mr. Hambly informed The Times- Gazette that it is his opinion that the consumer should pay no more than the usual five cents plus two cents tax as the dealer's margn of profit is greater than ever before.

Both the Canadian National Rail- ways and Canadian Pacific Railway American Air Lines, said here that extra sections were being added to regular schiedules over the week- end. More than 1,500 passengers al- ready have been booked for special Easter tours to New York and other centres. Sample of the holiday business was announcement that the four regular daily flights from Toronto to United States points on one air line will be augmented by 11 special flights, the first of which leit yes- terday afternoon, At Niagara Falls it was said that Canadians planning to cross to the United States there would be ad- vised to secure United States cur- rency on this side first. The unoffi- cial discount on Canadian currency in Niagara Falls, New York, today was said to have gone to nine cents. For some time American merchants have taken a flat discount of five per cent. All Must Till De Valera Tells Irish Dublin, April 3 -- (CP) -- Prime Minister de Valera says the only way for Eire to avoid another "black '47"--3,000,000 died in Ire- land's worst famine 100 years ago --is "for everybody who has a bit of ground that can grow wheat and who has the means of doing it to do 50." The target is 700,000 acres, more than was grown in any year during the war. It is unlikely to be reached in 1947 because bad weather has delayed farm work by many weeks. Eire has no reserve stocks. Much of last year's grain crop was de- stroyed by rain. At least 150,000 tons of wheat are needed to main- tain the present six-pounds-weekly bread ration through July, August and September and so far only 9,000 tons has been promised by the In- ternational Food Council, Lack of fuel was another critical problem. All reserves had been used up during the winter, worst for more than 50 years, and every per- son who could be spared from other work should help cut peat. "All the efforts are in these two lines and they are first priorities," de Valera warned. "Firstly, sow wheat; secondly, cut turf." Agricultural experts have estimat- ed de Valera will be lucky to get 350,000 acres of wheat this year. At mid-March seeding was only one- fifth as far ahead as in 1946. Farm- ers have a few more tractors and mechanical implements than a year ago but industrial tractors are being pressed into farm service to speed plowing and seeding. Claims Jury Misdirected counsel A, W. S. Greer, K. C., of Oshawa yesterday started presen- tation of a submission asking for a new trial for Judge J. C. M. Ger- man of Cobourg on the gro:nds of misdirection of the jury. His re- quest came as hearing of the appeal against convictions of drunken driving and dangerous drivirg ccn- tinued in the Ontario Appeal Court. Mr, Greer tcok up the argument for a new trial after Walter M. Martin of the Attorney General's Department had told the Appezllate Court that Crown Counsel Frank Wallace of Brantford, had pro- ceeded by indictment on both char- ges on instruc ions received {rom Attorney General Blackwell. Mr. Martin said these instructions were issued followng the prel minary bearing in Magistrates Court of the danzercus driving charge. He was replying to a submission by Arthur Slaght, K.C., of Torcnto, that the County Court of General Sessions which convicted Judge German lacked jurisdiction 'and that the Crown had np right in law to proceed by indictment on the drunken driving count after having first elected to try it by summary trial, Mr, Greer said he would accept full blame for not challenging the trial jujdge's charge to the jujry at the conclusion of the trial when Crown Counsel had objected to it "from teginning to ena." The fact a review of the charge later show- ed it did not appear to be as favor- able to the defence should not mli- tate against the appellant becavsz of a lapse on the part of his coun- sel, he said. "I am not dealing with the per- versity of the verdict now, but scmetning happened at this trial that the jury should bring in the verdict it did," said Mr. G.eer. He claimed the trial judge had nct ex- plained fully the point that the onus wag on the Crown throughout to prove its case "beyond a reason- able doubt." Mr. Justice J. B. Aylesworth said he thought the point had been fully covered. Hearing of the appeal enters its third day today. The 57-year-old county judge was sentenced to 30 days in jail on the drunken driving. charge and fined $250 for dangerous driving, Both charges arose from an accident in Cobourg last Sept. 3 in which Mrs, Jeanne Taylor was in- jured when struck by an gutomobile | driven by the judge. with trans-Canada Air Lines and |- Toronto, April 3--(CP)--Defence | Soloists In "The Messiah' Four Toronto soloists will take part in the annual presentation of Handel's "Messiah" at St. George's Church, Good Friday evening.

In the Count's will, probate of which was granted by a British court, all the money and securi- ties the Count kept in a London bank were left to Lady Diana, for- merly the actress Diana Manners, together with "whatever I may possess in the Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, Lausanne (The Vaudois Cantonal Bank, Lausanne, Switzer- land.) ; The Count's British estate was valued at £25,989 11s ($104,000). The Count once lived. at a Lon- don hotel, but then went to Gene- va, where he died at 65. He met Lady Diana only once in his life- time, when he stopped her in the street, but he was her secret ad- mirer for more than 15 years after seeing her at a London ball before her marriage. He wrote her once weekly until the street meeting, when he idenitfied himself as the writer of the letters. From then on he wrote once a month. The Count was involved in a three-day sensation in London so- ciety in August, 1922, when reports circulated that he had been order- ed to leave the country. In an in- terview he declared that he did not intend to go and that he had been engaged to a "well-known English society lady and we were to have been married." A few days later a British paper sald it was authorized by a "dis- tinguished young woman," whose name was withheld to publish an emphatic denial of the Count's story. Provincial Hansard Takes ent Work Hard, Effici Toronto, April 3.--(CP)-- By the time the Hansard experiment in the Ontario Legislature is com- pleted for the current session on more than 2,050,000 words will have been duly recorded for posterity. With the regularity of a newspa- per, Ontario's first published Han- sard appears daily with the com- plete transcription of anywhere from 70,000 to 150,000 words spoken from the floor of the Legislature. When Luke C. Hansard, an Eng- lish typesetter began reporting and printing the debates of the British House of Commons in 1774, it never occurred to him that more than 150 years later his name would be per- petuated in the practice pursued in the Canadian House of Commons and in two of the provincial legis- latures--British Columbia and On- tario, To everyone familiar with Parlia- mentary nomenclature, the official daily reports distributed in pamph- let form and containing the debates of the previous day are known by the handy and historic name "Han- sard." Hansard was first started in the Dominion House of Com- mons in 1874 and in 1880 Hansard reporters became officials of the Commons--29 years before this was adopted in the British House. The first Hansard reports in the Ontario Legislature were made in 1943. These were put out in thim- meographed form and were avail- able to members of the assembly at the end of the session. This year, appointment was made of an editor and with a staff of some 16 persons Hansard is available to the press within a half-hour after a Speaker has uttered his words and is printed in completde and revised form 48 hours after the day's sit- ting. | To prepare these reports, five shorthand reporters take down the "viva voce" debate in the House, each man working for about 20 minutes at a stretch, Their copy is dictated to a dictaphone and a battery of seven typists transcribes this onto seven typed coples-- two for the press, three for the leaders of the main partiés in the house, one for stenographiz record and the last copy to be sent to the printer. The verbatim reports are sent to the press gallery for immediate use of the newspaper men and the printer's copy is edited and sent by special messanger to the printing plant every half hour. Editing by K. C. Armstrong, former London, Ont., newspaper man, is limitad to obvious grammatical errors and punctuation, Small headings are put on var- ious sections of the debate to help in reading, essential particulars identifying the Speaker are insert- ed and the copy goes to the print- er to turn up the next day in ad- vance copy form as a brochure containing the previous day's dis- cussions. The advance coples that are printed by noon the next day may be changed by the members con- cerned, providing their changes are not "substantial." That is, they are not permitted to alter the sense of any observation. The com- pletion of broken sentences, the cor- rection of names or quotations and generally giving their oratory "pol- ished diction and the rounded phrase" which it often lacks when delivered, encompasses all that a member may do in the way of re- vision, The revisions then are sent to the printer, and the final copy which is mailed to newspapers and anyone paying the $5 annual sub- scription, is ready within two days after the debates concerned.

Hawaii's climate is so uniform that 'the native language has no word for weather. on CORINTHIAN LODGE No. 61 Meets Every Thursday 8 p.m. 8Y, King St. West Tonight: INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS TRIAL COSTS MUNICIPAL UNDERTAKING Toronto, April 8 -- (CP) -- Not a high court justice presiding at any murder trial in Ontario nor any policeman investigating a crime knows what can be admitted in court in the way of statements from accused. : So said Attorney-General Black- well of Ontario in the Legislature last might during a discussion of the Dick murder case at Hamilton. The question arose when Harry C. Nixon, former Premier and Lib- eral member for Brant asked if the Attorney General had received any representation from Wentworth county about the cost of the Dick trials. Mr. Blackwell said he had and went on to recall that Ajax, a muni- cipality east of Toronto made up almost completely of federal hous- ing projects, had had crimes that resulted in three murder trials, "The mbtnicipalities that pay the costs don't get a nickel from Ottawa and yet we have had three murder trials from that Dominion Crown colony in the province of Ontario," he said. The municipality affected did not think the province should bear the costs but thought the Do- minion might help seeing it was receiving all the rents. However, Mr. Blackwell said, the problem of high justice costs on the municipalities would be examined after the session and representa- tions would "e received. Mr. Nixon asked if there was not some provincial responsibility in the delays in the Dick case at Hamilton, There was not, said Mr. Blackwell. Mr, Nixon was under a delusion if he thought so. After Mrs. Dick's conviction and the sentence of death upon her, the trials of Boho- zuk and MacLean were postponed because the judge felt Mrs. Dick would be better able to give evi- dence after the shock of conviction had passed. "It wasn't in our contemplation that a new trial would be ordered for Mrs. Dick," Mr. Blackwell said. At Mrs. Dick's second trial for murder, Chief Justice J. C. McRuer said he felt the police, both muni- cipal and provincial, had discharg- ed their duties honorably and effci- ently. He would have admitted the statements by Mrs. Dick had he not been bound by the Appeal Court decision and added that there was a variety of opinion among lawyers on what made a statement admis- sible or inadmissible, but all he could do was pronounce the laws as interpreted by the appeal court. "It is important to the people of the province of Ontario and to the people of the whole of Canada to establish what are the rules that allow statements to be admitted," said Mr. Blackwell. For that rea- son, the province was going to the Supreme Court of Canada. If there the decision of the Ontario Appeal Court was upheld, there would lie ahead "a clear cut job for the Parliament of Canada to legislate." TRY AGAIN Widower: "You are the sixth girl to whom I have proposed without avail." The Girl: "Well, maybe if you wear one when making your seventh proposal you'll have better luck!" Our Participation At Moscow Is Now Out Of Question By ROSS MUNRO Canadian Press Staff Writer : Moscow, April 3 (CP)--The Big Four Foreign Ministers, confronted with a stalemate on outstanding German peace treaty problems, have shelved the question of participation by 18 Allied powers including Canada in the drafting of the peace settlement, and nothing more will be heard of it at the Moscow Conference apart frome possible inconclusive discussions by the deputy ministers, it was re- liably learned last night. However, Canada and Australia, the countries which fought particu- larly hard in London and Moscow to obtain an adequate voice in the treaty making, will continue to press for a place at later stages of these complicated negotiations after the Moscow Conference adjourns. Opposition by Russia in allowing countries among the 18 major Allies to sit on the four permanent com- mittees of the Council of Foreign Ministers hasn't let up an inch. Britain and the United States has insisted that these Allies be repre- sented in the treaty drafting stage. The final development on the participation problem was contain- ed in a letter sent by State Secre- tary Marshall to Foreign Secretary Bevin answering a request from the latter for clarification of the United States' general position on the ques- tion. In his reply Marshall indicated he wants all the countries which declared war on Germany to take part in the main peace conference to be held sometime in the future. However, the United States Sec- retary was somewhat vague on the position of ex-enemy states which declared war on Germany but it is probable he did not mean to include them. Even without them the total listed for the peace conference would be more than 50 countries. Marshall cleared up the point whether all these countries should take part in the drafting procedure before the big conference when he distinctly said he meant only the 18 Allied countries, originally named as main Allies and including all the Dominions, should share in the drafting stages. He evidently meant that just these 18 countries would be eligible for membership on the four per- manent committees delegated to do the drafting work. However, he still disagrees with the British view that all 18 should have an opportune ity to sit on all four committees. Selected Farm Pupils Released For Work May 23 Middle school students in Ontario high schools (grades XI and XII) who volunteer for farm work in the summer months are to be released from school May 23 and will not be required to write the department- al examinations, the Department of Education annources. The plan will apply only to stu dents believed by their principals to be entitled to departmental standing without having to write the June examinations, Volunteers will be required to sign with the Ontario Farm Serv= ice Force, undertaking to remain on the farm as long as their serv- ices are required but, in the case of students returning to school, not later than the Saturday before September school opening. Grade-to-grade promotions in Grades IX to XII also came under the scheme at the discretion of the principals. F. S. Rutherford, deputy mini- ster, said students are needed to help farmers fulfil their pledge to produce as great quantities of food as possible, enable an increase in the British ration and alleviate the world food shortage generally. Maritime Mayors Offer Coal Strike Solution N.S., April 8 -- (CP)--Increased subsidies to coal operators and immediate steps to "mechanize" Nova Scotia collieries as a means of ending the six-week-old Maritime coal strike and putting the industry on "a firm financial basis" were suggested today by Cape Breton mayors in a resolution forwarded to government, company and uni- on officials, The resolution, containing an appeal for "a fair and just settle- ment" of the strike, was passed yesterday at a meeting of mayors. It was to be placed before a Glace Bay, conference scheduled for next week when top officials for Uni- tel Mine Workers (A.F.L.) inter=- national headquarters at Wash- ington will meet with executives of Dominion Steel and Coal Cor- poration to discuss the walkout. Place and date of the strike conference still appeared to be in doubt today with Freeman Jen- kins, president of U.M.W, (C.C. L.) district 26, denying a prev- ious announcement that it would be held in Montreal Sunday. Mr. Jenkins issued a statement saying that "there may be a meeting in Ottawa at a later date."
