LONDON, Jan.28.\u2014 The signature of Great Britain to the optional clause of the statutes of the Permanent Court of International Justice was ratified by the House of Commons last night by a vote of 278 to 193.Thus Britain agrees, with certain reservations, to abide by the decision of the World Court at The Hague in questions of international legal dispute.Premier Ramsay MacDonald postponed one of his naval conference discussions to attend the House while the optional clause signature was being considered.Rt.Hon.Arthur Henderson, Secretary for Foreign Affairs, moved the resolution affirming ratification.The clause had been signed at Geneva on September 19 last year.Removes Defects.The World Court and Britain\u2019s adherence was an important development of the old tradition of arbitration which Great Britain used to employ before the war, and in which there were serious defects, the Foreign Minister said.\u201cThe optional clause removed all these defects and applied to international disputes the principle universally accepted by every civilized state, for the settlement of legal disputes between their citizens\u201d, he continued.\u201cThe optional clause conferred great advantages on the British Government, which regards the acceptance of it as the logical consequence of our commitments to the Paris Peace Pact.It is only by such measures as general acceptance of the obligation to accept impartial arbitration, that members of the League can give real life to the Paris Pact.\u201d Three Classes Excluded.Dealing rvith the British Government\u2019s reservations, Mr.Henderson said three classes of disputes were excluded from the World Court\u2019s jurisdiction: 1\u2014Disputes with other members of the British Commonwealth of Nations, 2\u2014Disputes about matters within the domestic jurisdiction of the state.3\u2014Disputes for the submission of which to some other method of peaceful settlement provision has already been made in existing or will be made by future agreement.Rt.Hon.Austen Chamberlain, who was Foreign Minister in the former Conservative Government, had submitted an amendment urging the need of an ailditional reservation, namely, that in carrying out any work for the League of Nations, the British navy should be subject only to British maritime lawn Mr.Henderson admitted that he himself had insisted on such a reservation in 1924.\u201cI never dreamt that, after wo had become a member of the League and had accepted all the obligations of it, we were going to claim the old pre-war CONSERVATIVES FAVOR PLAN OF Claim that Support of Plan Dees Not Mean Free Trade Within Empire, But Each of Colonies Working With Motherland for Benefit of AH Others.(Canadian Press Despatch) TORONTO, Ont, Jan., 28.\u2014Hon.R.B.Bennett, leader of the Canadian Conservative party, and the Liberal-Conservative party are in close sympathy with Lord Beaver-brook on the extension ci;

North hat ley, Jan., 28.\u2014 Mr.T.H.Andrews, forty-five years old, well known auctioneer of this place, is at present in the Sherbrooke Hospital suffering from a severe wound in the left cheek caused by a bullet from a heavy calibre rifle.Mr.Andrews was in the workshop near his home yesterday, when, seeing a rat, he reached for his rifle which was on a bench nearby.It is thought that the trigger must have caught on some projection, for the weapon discharged and the bullet entered the left cheek.For some hours Mr.Andrews lay unconscious.When he regained consciousness he attempted to reach the house, but, feeling that he could not make it, he went into the stable, where he fell unconscious to the floor.Again ho came to and tried to negotiate the few yards leading to his house.This time he was successful.Mrs.Andrews, who had thought that her husband was at his office down town, opened the door and helped her husband reach a chair, after which Dr.R._J.Spier was sumomned.The medical man rendered first aid and had the injured man removed to the Sherbrooke Hospital.-»- WELL-KNOWN ARTIST DIED AT HIS HOME IN QUEBEC (Canadian Press Despatch) QUEBEC, Jan.28\u2014Charles Edouard Huot, well-known Canadian painter, died at his home here last night.He was born in Quebec and studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris, under Cabanel.He received honorable mention at the Paris Exhibition of 1876 and won a silver medal in the Paris Black and White Exhibition, 1888.His picture \u201cHabitant Plowing, Quebec,\u201d hangs in the National Gallery at Ottawa.Q UEBEC, Jan.28.\u2014Present medications around the Government halls of Quebec arc that the Assembly will proceed this week with the project of dividing some of the rural electoral divisions, and that there will be a series of speeches when the motion of Hon.Hector LaFerte, Minister of Colonization and Fisheries, for the appointment of a committee is brought forward.The committee is to be compbsed of the Minister himself also C.Oliver, M.L.A.for Brome; Gustave Delisle, M.L.A.for Chicoutimi; Leon Casgrain, M.L.A, for Temiscouata; Ceophas Bastien, M.L.A.for Ber-thier; Camillien Houde, Opposition leader, and Alderic Blain, Conservative M.L.A.for Dorion-Montreal.No Increase in Urban Seats As far as plans have been formulated up to last night, there is no intention of increasing the number of urban seats, and certainly not as far as the Island of Montreal is concerned, and those who favop the extension of the Government plan so as to give increased representa-I tion to Montreal will have hard I work to convince the Government I n that point.The Government point of view is hat rural members are of great and rect value to their constituencies, ¦pecially now when agriculture is going through a period of reorganization.It is said, for instance, that the presence of a legislator among the farmers will mean a great deal in helping to put in reforms, since the personal influence of the member in urging the advisability of Government measures is very great upon his constituents.Some of the counties cover such a vast area that it is impossiblet for a mem to visit all of the parishes each year, whereas the Government would like to have him preach the gospel of betterment and encouragement several times a year in each parish, and in this way help to dispel the cloud of discouragement.Election Rumor Ridiculed The charge that the Government is endeavoring in its redivision of rural seats to better its position j when the general elections'- come i about, possibly next May or early in ! June, is laughed at by the wise men ! of the Liberal organization.If it ! was a matter of helping the Liberal party in Montreal, it is explained, the Government, by giving several additional seats on the island, could help itself politically by such a rearrangement as might prove disas-rous to Conservative hopes in some instances.There are one or two seats in Mont, real now held by Conservatives that it is felt in high Liberal circles here could be swamped among Liberal portions of the population, though, of course, with a population that constantly moves about as do the citizens of Montreal, a.redistribution in this sense is always problematical, and certainly much more so than a rural redivision.It is also claimed regards (Montreal j that it is possible by a redistribu-; tion to \u201chive\u201d the Conservatives, to ! use the classical expression of Sir John Macdonald.However, the Government does not seem much concerned with the matter one way or another, apparently not worrying whehter it gains or loses a seat on the island, and it is to be noted, incidentally, that there is no Montreal Island Liberal member on the spec-(Continued on Page Five.) * ?4> * 4» ?*!\u2022\u2022!?*5* *!\u2022 \u2022fr-S*\t+ THINKS OTTAWA SHOED ASSIST UNEMPLOYMENT Considerable Decline Shown In Canadian Wheat Export Figures Dominion Bureau of Statistics Figures for Year 1929 Indicate Decrease of $184,000,000 as Compared With Previous Year\u2014Shipments Had a Value of Only $249,-347,000 as Against $433,767,000 in 1928\u2014Loss in Total of Grain and Its Products Amounted to More Than $225,000,000.(Canadian Press Despatch) OTTAWA, Ont., Jan., 28.\u2014The year 1929 saw a drop of $184,090,000 in wheat exports from Canada.Shipments had a value of only $249,347,000 as against $433,767,000 in 1928.The loss in the total of grain and it?products amounted to more than $225,000,000, the comparative totals being $333,004,000 and $558.-091,000, Finally revised figures were made available today at the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.With the exception of animal products, in which there was also a contraction, practically every other item of exports showed an increase.Nonferrous metals moved up to $148,164,000 from $103,411,-000; iron and its products advanced to $90,101,000 from $70,655,000 and wood and paper increased to $292,600,000 from $289,125,000.Fibres and textiles -were slightly reduced at $9,471,000 and animal products were down to $140,820,00 from $163,457,000 in the previous year.Despite tho recessions in agricultural exports, total trade for 1929 amounted to $2,507,351,000 as compared with $2,596,564.000 in 1928.Total domestic exports had a value of $1,182,412,000 and imports for consumption $1,298,992,-000, Exports of foreign origin amounted to $25,916,000.Premier Bracken, of Winnipeg, Does Not See Why Provinces Should Bear All Responsibility When Dominion Has Chief Charge of Immigration.I\t__________ (Canadian Press Despatch) WINNIPEG, Man., Jan.28.\u2014Ur-! gent representatives will be mad« | to the Dominion Government to is-i sue one-third of the amount of un-' employment relief measures that I may be adopted in Manitoba.In the Legislature last night.Premier John Bracken declared the Dominion, which has charge of immigration, should be a party to tho solution of the unemployment pro-: blem and should not have the entire I responsibility on the provinces.The , Premier made it clear that he would press for assistance from Ottawa In view of the conference of western mayors to be held in Win-mpeg Wednesday, Mr.Bracken an-! nounced, however, that final action ! in the matter by the Provincial Gov-jernment would be delayed until af-; ter the conference.Meantime, ha invited constructive suggestions from members of the House as to | the course of action that should ba i followed.; The Premier spoke on the amend-[ ment to the reply to the speech from the throne proposed by John !
