[" hrrbrnokp Established 1897.SHERBROOKE, CANADA, THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1934.Thirty-Eighth Year.RAILWAY SITUATION TO FORE IN HOUSE OF COMMONS DISCUSSIONS House Approved Principle of Construction of Peace River Railway, but Minister Declared Financial Condition of Country Prevented Early Action\u2014No Vote Reached on Motion to Write Down C.N.R.Capital\u2014Sweepstakes Bill Encountered Strong Opposition in Senate.Ottawa, March 1.\u2014Canada\u2019s revised Bank Act comes before the House of Commons today for second reading, but the companion measure to establish a central bank will likely stand over for a few days more to enable members to study its provisions more closely before passing their opinions on it.The immediate destiny of both bills is the banking and commerce committee, where they will receive detailed study.Yesterday the House gave its annual airing to the transportation needs of the Peace River country.Donald Kennedy, U.F.A.member for Peace River, pressed for the construction of a railway from his far northern constituency to the Pacific Coast, a demand he has made every year since 1922.Mr.Kennedy received a sympathetic hearing and the House approved his resolution, with the blessing of Hon.R.J.Manion, Minister of Railways and Canals, added to it.Dr.Manion, however, insisted on attaching the words \u201cwhen circumstances permit\u201d to the resolution.The railway would have to be a government undertaking, the Minister said, as it would not be a paying proposition and the government was not now in a financial position to embark on any capital expenditures not absolutely necessary.The railway picture had brightened up a lot recently and general conditions had improved.^ While no promises could be made, the Ibuilding of the road in the not distant future was within the realm of possibility.Railways were to the fore in yesterday\u2019s short session, for the only other item of business was discussion of a resolution calling for feteps to recast the capital structure of the Canadian National Railways.The proposal came from A.E.Mhinn, Liberal member for Vancouver North, but did not reach the vote stage.Debate on the Sweepstakes Bill continued in the Senate and found Senator Arthur Meighen, Government leader, joining the opposition to legalized lotteries.Senator James Murdock was another opponent of the bill and protested the Senate should not make itself ridiculous by passing the measure a second time when it knew it would be turned down by the House of Commons.The argument did not appeal to Senator C.E.Tanner, a supporter of the bill.He said by dint of repeated action the Senate might \u201cyet drive some sense into the obtuse mind of those men\u2014the Commoners.\u201d Debate on the bill will be resumed Tuesday.MR.JUSTICE MACKINNON The appointment to the Bench of Cecil Gordon Mackinnon, K.C.O.B.E., of Montreal, is a.other honor for the Eastern Townships.Mr.Justice Mackinnon, the son of James Mackinnon, D.C.L., one of Sherbrooke\u2019s prominent citizens, was born in Cowansville and resided in the Eastern Townships during his early life.CARELESS SMOKER A MENACE Iquique, Chile, March 1.\u2014A cigarette dropped into a barge loading 130 bags of gunpowder today set off the entire cargo, injuring twenty men, destroying the barge and a number of fishing craft which had just returned to port.PROPOSAL TO REMOVE SWEEPSTAKE BAN CRITICIZED IN UPPER HOUSE PREMIER HAPPY OVER CANADA\u2019S TRADE OUTLOOK Dominion\u2019s Rise to Fifth Place Among Exporting Countries of World Stressed by Mr.Bennett at Formal Opening of New Port Facilities at Saint John.A NEW EMPIRE CREATED TODAY IN MANCHUKUO Saint John, N.B., March 1.\u2014 Trade, coupled with the courage and faith of Canadians, formed the theme of an address delivered by Prime Minister R.B.Bennett at a ! \u2018\u2018The Great Manchu Empire\u201d Was Born Today Under Protecting Guns of More Than 50,000 Soldiers When Henry Pu-Yi Became Emperor Kang Teh.Hsinkhig Manchukuo, March 1.\u2014 A new dynasy was born today under the protecting guns of more than 50,000 soldiers when Henry Pu-Yi FRANCE DETERMINED TO KEEP ARMED STRENGTH UNIMPAIRED.Paris, March 1.\u2014France\u2019s de- i termination to keep its armed ; strength unimpaired today was ! i expected to be announced soon | as a result of the disarmament !

it was not the right way to raise funds for the hospitals.The money tniust com-e front the people and when lotteries were practiced it came from the people least able to afford it.It wa-s not tire wealthy who bought lottery tickets but Hie people who should be spending the money on the necessities of life.Senator Webster told tihe Senate of his recent- visit to Paris where he had taken th-c opportunity lo the slate lotteries there.His enquiries confirmed Senator Graham\u2019s statement that it was not the wealthy who bought lottery tickets but the poor working people.He had been asked a dozen times on the boulevards to buy lottery tickets and in the shops.Its effect on the people and on the trade was bad.The shopkeepers suffered because people bought lottery tickets instead of commodities.Women who wanted new hat?bought lottery tickets instead and the milliners siutffered.Senator Laçasse indicated support of tiie bill.He charged inconsistency against, those who would play poker and yet.vote against it.tawa agreement is.Some of us have very grave doubts about it.\u201d The Canadian High Commissioner, a guest at the luncheon, prompt->y rose to declare the Ottawa trade agreement was the first step in the history of the Empire to draw the constituent parts of the Empire closer together economically.\u201cNobody expects a novel undertaking of that kind would be without its difficulties, but they are difficulties we must learn to overcome,\u201d Mr.Ferguson added, \u201cwith goodwill on both sides.\u201cI am sure you will become conscious in time that the Ottawa agreement is a Godsend to Britain as well as to Canada.Canadian trade with Britain has grown twenty lier cent in the last ten months, and Canadian trade with the United States has correspondingly been reduced.\u201d Nazi Demonstration Is Awaited \",\u201d'5 c1:i,'i!a With Anxiety\u2014110,000 Under Arms.Canton, China, March 1.\u2014 Thousands of men, women and children joined today in a demonstration against the enthronement of Henry Pu-Yi as Emperor of Manchukui Vienna, March 1.\u2014 The armed strength of strife-torn Austria has been rapidly increasing since the Socialist civil war and today the government has at least 110,000 armed men to deal with emergencies.Latest figures of Hcimwehr strength \u2014 published in the newspaper of Vice Chancellor Emil Fey \u2014give 65,000 as the number of armed Fascists throughout Austria.The regular army has 30,000 men and the police gendarmerie exceeds 15,-COO, making a total of at least 110,-000 fighters.A report from Graz today said rail-road men who betrayed the Styrian Socialist leaders, Koloman and Wallisch, to police had been found slain in a nearby wood.Wallisch was hanged February 19th.A rumor of r.n attempt to assassinate Chancellor Dbllfuss was officially denied.The official organ of the Socialist party today called upon followers to be prepared to \u201cresume our fight.\u201d Although Vienna continues quiet, Hcimwehr troopers again patrolled the streets, with bayonets fixed, and wearing steel helmets.When martial law was lifted several days ago bayonets were ordered sheathed and steel helmets were replaced by hats.Preparations were being made to try imprisoned Socialist leaders for high treason.More than 2,000 Socialists are awaiting trial.The semi-official Reiehspost today-said 297 were killed in the civil war.revenue-producing, realizable assets.Ordinary expenditure\tin 1933 was $,-,.000.000 than\t!r evpenditure was There was a de-creose in liquor revenue of $5,743,-000 as compared with ,32.Highlights of the budget were: No new taxation.Ordinary oxpemiture in i!)S3 was $5,300,000 less than in 1932.told the Logisiati been acemnplisneo I , ., ,\t,\tI Kru-W il- U IV 40 rtil V l-l V il u IVAUO.\tI\t,\t, *\t' I* ^\t¦\tLl as the only means of keeping the collieries in operation.Only maintenance men were in the pits today.But while the great, majority of the miners remained above ground though the mines were supposed to work, no official strike was in progress.It was called a \u201cholliday.\u201d Members of both unions \u2014 the official United Mine Workers, ami the younger Amalgamated Mine Workers \u2014 were to discuss the i question of accepting the wage cuts .| later in the day.Meetings held last *s ' night had reached no final decision.The colliers had before them the promise of the operators that the reductions, averaging about twenty per cent., would remain in effect no longer than was imperative.A guarantee of three days\u2019 work a week had been given also, with the pledge that during a trial period of six months the company would stated the Prime Minister j defer collection of overdue rentals is Legislature should be ccn- and fuel payments, sored because, they?had appointed !

domestic fruit market, barrelled and hampered stocks of apples were not so plentiful but boxed varieties were more plentiful and varied market conditions remained practically the same as for several

Spanish Cabinet Expected, but Resignation of Entire Government a Total Surprise.Madrid, March 1.\u2014 The Government of Premier Aiejandrtx Lerroux resigned suddnely today.Re-organization of the ministry had been ernsidered last night by Premier Lerroux aite\" it was announced -hat two ministers Diego Martinez Barrios, the Department of the Interior, and Mini-iter of the Treasury Gomez Lara -planned to res\u2019gn.However, the resignation of the entire cabinet, re-organized or.January 23rd, came as a surprise move.When Lerroux went to the private residence of President Niceto Alcala Zamora early today, it was believed he had gone to present the resignations of Barrios and Lara.A short time later came the announcement of the complete walkout.These two had threatened to quit when the largest minority supporting party, the Catholic Agrarian Action of ill deputies, reached a deci-s::n to oppose Government policies.Many believed this group might withdraw from its stand provided the two ministers stepped out of the Government.It was explained that with Barrios and Lara out, Agrarian leaders believed they would be able to put through two of their protects \u2014 amnesty for certain political pri-soners and subsidies for the rural clergy.Lerroux said a new premier would be named tomorrow morning.The President, in opening conféreras for the formation of a new cabinet, called Lerroux in first.Lerroux explained his position to Zamora, but refused to reveal what it was.He may be asked to form another cabinet.Other leaders, including these of minority parties, will be called in-during the day for conferences.Dr.J.P.Day Advorates Chsaper Speech from Throne States Dif-Money as Means to Ease Strain ference Between Revenues and on Hard-Pressed Borrowers Expenditure to

surprised female rabbit at the Harvard laboratory of general physiology.She is the mother, by the norma! course of birth, of seven oung rabbits which are not her own.They are the children of another Mr.and Mrs.Rabbit.This pair, furthermore, was not even married \u2014 that is, in rabbit customs, not mated.Yet it is their young which the vicarious mother has produced.The lucky seven are the latest miracle in scientific breeding and the first of their kind among mammals.The experiment is described jin the proceedings of the National 'Academy of Sciences by G.Pincu.-and E.V.Enzmann.Ten ova were taken from a female rabbit.Microscopes made sure they j had not been fertilized.They were placed for twenty minutes in a glass receptabie, or \u201cin vitro\u201d as the scientists call it.There they were fertilized artificially.Next they were drawn with a little salt liquid into a small pipe and transferred into the fallopian tube of the female rabbit which was to become their stepmother.The eggs ::ame from an Agouti doe.They were iven to a New Zealand doe, and from them in due time came seven ark gray young rabbits.The report states that this is believed to be the first certain demonstration that mammalian eggs can be the first certain demonstration ,e fertilized \u201cin vitro\u201d and then successfully brought to birth.A few attempts have been made previously.Success this time is credited to careful refinements in the operative procedure.The prospects are that the results at Harvard can be duplicated.They may prove useful for breeding superior races of animals.Montreal, March
