[" Sailu Uwnrîi Establishéd 1 897.SHERBROOKE, CANADA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1935.Thirty-Eighth Yea: RUSSIA IS STRONG SUPPORTER OF ANGLO-FRENCH SECURITY TREATY Soviets Enter European Puzzle with Declaration that Peace Can Best Be Secured Through General Mutual Defensive Accords\u2014Britain Still Insists Germany Must Accept Proposals as a Whole\u2014Possible Visit of British Foreign Minister to Germany Discussed.Russia loomed today as a fador in the movement towards general security pacts in Europe, while an official silence cloaked the decision of the British cabinet concerning the next move in seeking German approval for the Anglo-French proposals.The attitude adopted by the cabinet at yesterday\u2019s meeting in London to consider Germany\u2019s reply to the Anglo-French communique was not made known publicly.» In unofficial quarters, however, two things appeared likely.It was believed Britain would maintain her stand that Germany must accept, as a whole, the proposals duawn up three weeks ago.These include Germany's approval for the central European and Eastern Locarno accords, her return to the League of .Nations, as well as approval of the projected aerial assistance pact and recognition of Germ a n re-armament.The possibility also was seen that Sir John Simon, Foreign Secretary, or some other official representative of the Foreign Office might travel to Berlin in March to further the accords.Russia entered the picture with a joint communique from the Soviet Foreign Office, handed \u2019 simultaneously to foreign offices in London and Paris.It set forth Russia\u2019s conviction that peace could best be secured through general mutual defensive accords.The Anglo-French proposals should be accepted in their entirety, it urged.YOUNG SISTERS MET DEATH IN

DOMINION WIDE HOUSING PLAN Organization of Government Corporation Demanded if Mortgage, Trust and Loan Companies Refuse to Take Needed Action.London, Feb.21.\u2014-Unofficially, it was believed hero today the cabinet planned to abide by the dicision to insist that Germany accept the various points contained in the Anglo-French security proposals as a whole.While no statement was forthcoming as to the outcome of yesterday's cabinet meeting which considered the German answer to the Anglo-French communique, newspaper comment indicated the likelihood of an exentual visit by a Foreign Office representative to Berlin.The Times declared \u201csooner later the visit must be paid and thej Upminster, England, Feb.21.\u2014 Two beautiful girls, daughters of the United States Consul-General at Naples, plunged 1,500 feet to their deaths from an aeroplane near here today and friends said they started on their last flight heart broken over the recent deaths of two officers ,or of the Royal Air Force.-ooner the better.This opportunity simply must not be missed as other opportunities have been missed.\u201d While The Times was remark\u2019 tg on the increased German demands in the last year or so, whereby she now wants nothing less than outright equality, it was learned that if there should be discussion with Germany about abrogation of the disarmament clauses of the Versailles Treaty, Germany would like ly demand also the abrogation of I he demilitarized zone in the Rhineland.This was not mentioned 'n the Anglo-French accord.The full Anglo-French exchange of views about Germany\u2019s reply has not yet been completed, it was stated.But Sir John goes to Paris on February 28 on a private mission\u2014 he is to make a speech on parliamentary customs\u2014and he would have at that time an opportunity to meet Premier Pierre-Etienne Flan-din.and Foreign Minister Pierre Laval.Otfficals circles voiced the opinion that in any event definite progress in bringing Germany

embrace.\u201d They were Elizabeth du Bois, aged twenty-three, and Jane Du Bois, twenty years of age.Reports from Naples where the girls\u2019 father, Coert Du Bois, has been stationed for some time, said Jane was engaged to marry Flying Officer John A.C.Forbes, while her sister, Elizabeth, was reported engaged to Flight Lieut.Henry Long-field Beatty.The two officers were among the nine victims of the crash of the big British flying boat \u201cAce of Diamonds\u2019 near Messina, Italy, last week.London friends of the girls, the only children of Coert Du Bois, of San Francisco, stationed at Naples, said the girls\u2019 grief was uncontrollable over the loss of their friends.The girls had been with the British fliers when the flying boat was in Naples during January and the early part of the month.Pilot Kirton said the sisters appear- Toronto, Feb.21.\u2014Failing action by executives of mortgage, trust and loan corporations, the Dominion Government should form its own corporation to finance a nation-wide housing programme, Hon.H.H.Stevens.former Minister of Trade and Commerce and chairman of the Price Spreads Commission, told the Ontario Retail Lumbermen\u2019s Association.By the sale of bonds and, if necessary, by guaranteeing them, such a government-controlled body would do for the people \u201cwhat those at present in control are failing to do, that is.provide decent housing for the people,\u201d Mr.Stevens declared in.his address last night.The former cabinet minister presented figures to indicate the \u201camazing\u201d increase in the assets of the mortgage loan and trust companies during the depression period.He stated that there had been a decline of $600,000,000 to $900,000,000 in \u201cnormal\u201d building in the past four years, suggesting a diversion of funds from building to other investments.At the same time, Mr.Stevens said, there were 400,000 able-bodied men eager for employment and ready for a building programme.CANADIAN DOLLARS STK.ADT New York, Feb.21.\u2014Trading on the foreign exchange market was dull today with leading currencies losing fractionally.Pound sterling eased one quarter of a cent to $4.88 1-4, and French francs declined one-eighth of a point to 6.61 7-8 cents.Canadian dollars were steady and unchanged at 100 cents Quebec, February 21.\u2014 For the third year in succession a bill of Martin B.Fisher, Conservative, Huntingdon, to change the basis of automobile registration for licence purposes from that of possession to that of usage, was dropped in the Quebec Legislature yesterday.In brief Mr.Fisher\u2019s demand was that automobiles be subject to licencing only when in use and not when stored as, for example, in winter months.In Ontario, he said, it was possible to get a half-year licence for about half the cost of one covering usage of an automobile for a full year.Another claim was automobilists were taxed heavily enough as it was.Automobiles stored in winter or kept on private property for one reason did not cause any wear or Lear on highways, he concluded, nor could they contribute to any accidents.Provincial Treasurer R.F.Stock-well said Quebec followed the example of most other provinces and States in taxing on possession and not usage.Over $150,000,i>00 had been invested in Quebec highways, he said, and those who used them had to make some return.Inauguration of the system\u2014such as proposed by Mr.Fisher, he believed, would entail the hiring of numerous inspectors whose salaries would add to the province\u2019s debt.The bill was dropped on division.A BOLD ACCUSATION MADE BY LEADER OF OPPOSITION , ,\t\u2022- 1\t\u2022\t,\tV .1., » V» i.i i v.- I o l .-I Cl J > (-JCtl 1 ~ negotiations on the accord will be a ed to be agitated

PACTS London, Feb.21.\u2014All the Dominions are being kept fully informed of the progress of negotiations for the proposed defensive air pact among signatories of the Locarno \u2019\u2019realy.as well as of the situation generally in regard to all the pro-T 'sals of the Anglo-French accord, it was learned today.But none of the Dominions have p yet expressed any desire to adhere to the proposed pact.Their position is much the same as under the original Locarno treaties.These contained a Clause exempting the Dominions from any liability unless they should specifically express a desire to join in.As none adh r-ed, all the Dominions remained out- j longed to the side.Thus, while negotiations for stabilization of European peace by a new series of multilateral pacts are under, contemplai ion,, the Dominions are free to remain outside and probably will do so.Should the pacts actually come into force, and their provisions be invoked in event of an outbreak of hostilities, the Dominions will, of course, be entitled to make their own decisions a - to what course they will follow.Whether a clause regarding the I QTfcJniors similar to I hat in the oriirTnal Locarno will he inserted in ihe

accusation th Quebec Government was subservient to an \u201codious economic dictatorship\u201d was made by Maurice Duplessis, K.C., Conservative Opposition leader, in the Quebec Legislative Assembly yesterday before the House voted forty-nine to nine in favor of granting certain taxation exemption in the municipality of St.Louis de Gonzague to the Beauharnois Light, Heat and Power Comany and Beauharnois Land Company.The by-law of the municipality, which was ratified, reads in part: \u201cthat on October 1, 1934, its by-law No.18 was passed fixing at the annual sum of $531 for a period of ten years the total amount of municipal taxes payable by the comoan-| ies on all their taxable property ; and rights, and an annual tax for j school purposes of $1.260 for the i same period.\u201d The bill was in the ! name of Contran St.Onge, Libera1 ' Beauharnois.Mr.Duplessis said the number of favors being granted companies presaged a coming election, \u2018\u2018Is an election fund being created?\u201d he asked.It was these same companies, Mr, Duplessis said, \u201cwhich lead Mr.J.Kirton, the pilot, apparently flew on for an hour after the girls fell to their deaths without knowing of the late of his two passengers.It was believed that the distance of the fall was about 1,500 feet, for that is the normal altitude of the Hillman planes when they cross over Upminster.A shattered wrist watch engraved with the initials \u201cJ.Du B.\u201d was found near the bodies.They were embedded one foot into the ground.Pilot Kirton was the same man who was flying the Loudon-bound plane late in January which spilled $110,000 worth of gold bars out on the French coast.I\u2019hc gold was found subsequently by searchers.An official of the Hillman Lines said Kirton was an excellent pilot

historic hostelries along the international boundary line, is today nothing but a mass of ruins following a fire which completely destroyed the structure and for a time threatened adjoining houses and outbuildings.The fire had made considerable headway before it was noticed and a call was put in for the Fnosburg Falls, Vt,, fire, brigade, which arrived on the scene with a pumping engine in less than half an hour.Realizing that the hotel was doomed, the Enosburg firemen turned their attention to saving the adjoining buildings, with the result that, aside from ihe hotel, the only damage was scorching of clapboards and breaking of windows in the nearby residence of Alba Morse.The hotel, built in 1869 by Marcus L, and üleveland Jeune, has had many changes of ownership.At one time if was a

council of St, Louis de Gonzague.\u201cYou will never convince me the entire County of Beauharnois favors being mulcted by the Beauharnois Company,\u201d Mr.Duplessis said.\u201cWe can make our own

was started and adjourned in the Quebec Legislature yesterday on a motion by Aime Guertin, Independent, Hull, calling for an immediate start on construction of the Mont Laurier-Maniwaki-Amos highway.Hector Authier, Liberal, Abitibi, and Deputy Speaker of the House, spoke in favor of the Guertin motion.The Hull member said construction of this road had been demanded for several years past and \u201cmany provincial members have been elected by promising it would be done.\u201d The road, he said, would provide an ideal outlet for the farm products of Abitibi and a new and important market for Quebec industry.Moreover, he added, the road would be of invaluable assistance in the colonization work scheduled to be undertaken by the Government.\u201d The road, Mr.Guertin declared, would place the \u201cvast mining and agricultural regions of Abitibi and Temi'skaming in direct communication with Montreal, Quebec and Hull.\u201d Start of construction would absorb many unemployed men,\u201d Mr.Guertin asserted.As member for the region most directly affected, Mr.Authier agreed with the statement of Mr.Guertin.There was a vast mining region in Abitibi and Temiskaming the potential wealth surface of which had not been scratched, he claimed.Dr.Ernest Poulin, Liberal, Montreal-Laurier.adjourned debate.UCANADIANEG0LDN^XP0RTS DOMINION-WIDE SCHEME OF LAND Value of Gold

question is now under consideration and we shall arrive at an early decision,\u201d Walter Rurtchnan, President of the Board of Trade, said in the House of Commons this afternoon in a statement on the proposed 1935 contract for sale of Russian timber in the United Kingdom.The Minister\u2019s promised statement definitely disposed of reports the Board of Trade had put its approval on the contract between exporters and Timber Distributors Limited.The contract calls for 400,(KM) standards against 350,000 standards last year and is understood to contain the now famous \u201cfall clause\u201d permitting automatic drop in.the contract price to meet any competition\u2014a clause nullified by the government on Canadian protests last year that it violated the Anglo-Canadian agreement signed at Ottawa, which contains a clause guarding against \u201cunfair competition.\u201d Replying to questions by Peter MacDonald, Conservative member and native of Cape Breton, Mr.Runciman said the first intimation of protest against the 1935 contract under the terms of the Ottawa agreement reached the Board of Trade on Monday.Yesterday he had received a letter from Hon.G.I Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner here, enclosing a memorandum giving the views of the Canadian Government on the situation.He then promised early action, CLAIMS STOCK LOSSES CAUSED BY \u201cWASH SALE Ottawa, February 21.In an effort to arrive at some method of stopping the continual drift of young people fiv.-ni farms to cities, the House of Commons committee on agriculture will study a proposal to launch a five-year plan of asusling young farmers to settle on new land.The proposal was launched yesterday by .hocepn llradette, Liberal member for Temiskaming .Xorth, and Sir George Perley, acting Prime Minister, agreed to send it to committee.Amplifying his idea, Mr.Bradelte said he would have the Government spend $20,000,000 in the next five years assisting twenty thousand farmers\u2019 sons to carve out new farms for themselves in pioneer districts of the country.He thought settlement of city unemployed on.the land was a waste of money and a mistake, hut with farmers it would be different.Each young farmer would he allotted 81,000 in five annual payments of $200, all conditional upon his developing his farm in accordance with regulations of supervising officials.Although the plan brought forth varied ideas, there was almost complete agreement some such move would be productive of good.Sir \u201e George Perley thought people on self-sustaining farms like many in the Province of Quebec were happier and more secure than those in cities.He attributed many of the economic ills of recent years to the drift of people from country to city.Speaking as \u201can honest dirt farmer,\u201d John Vallance, Liberal member for South Battleford, took to task business and professional men who sit in arm chairs and attempt to.discuss farm problems.Nonetheless he favored the idea provided those selected were \u201chand picked\u201d for their adaptability, to farming.They would have to be Assistance to Needy Unemploy- men who loved the land, because ed, Quebec Government

Recommendation for U.S.Currency, a Badly Need- Two-Year Extension on N.R.A.Quebec, Que., Feb, 21.\u2014 Quebec will not take action on the unemployment situation until it has seen what course Ottawa intends to fol-\u2022low, it has been announced by Hon.J.N.Francoeur, Provincial Minister of Public Works, Game end Fisheries, who recalled that the Dominion Government had advised Quebec that nothing further would be done by Ottawa after the present agreement came to an end in March 31st, next, This province, at the present time, receives $500,000 a month as the Federal contribution to the cost of unemployment relief in this province.If the central authority persists in its stand to discontinue all assistance to needy unemployed then Quebec will go ahead with its own special legislation contained in a bill now inscribed on the agenda paper i of the Legislative Assembly, accord- j ing to the Quebec Minister, who said ! that, otherwise, if Ottawa decided to continue any co-operative agreement, the Provincial Government would merely be called upon to ratify arrangements as in the past.The province\u2019s own bill while requesting extraordinary powers, is quite likely to be very much amended before it is finally adopted by the Legislature, according to Hon.Mr.Francoeur who pointed out that, if Ottawa does nothing, Quebec will have to make all sorts of agree- when a man set about farming he realized he was giving up his chances for riches and fame.Not all farmers' sons would make successful farmers because many of them were- attracted by lure o£ cities.Dr.J.P.Bowden, Liberal, SL Boniface, spoke of a \u201chappy peasantry,\u201d but Mr, Vallance declared the only reason a peasantry was ever happy was because it was ignorant.He hoped there would never be a happy peasantry in Canada.If young farmers were educated in farming, taught something about the scientific end of livestock raising and grain growing, they would be given a greater interest in.and a greater love for the land.Sir George Perley, Acting Prime Ministerf, replying to the Bradette motion, said that the Federal Government had done everything possible to assist in the back-to-the* land movement, but the project pro-! posed in the Bradette resolution 'was realty an unemployment relief move and the responsibility for such proposals lay primarily with the provinces.He told the House how under unemployment relief tha Federal Government had helped in-placing people on the farms and) keeping them there, and he deplored the tendency of young people to flock to the cities.In nearly four years the scheme whereby the railways and the Department of Colonization co-operated had placed 14,748 families on farms and engaged a total of 32,600 people in farm work.Then there was the relief land settlement scheme, in in flight.Experts at that time said that two men together would have been unable to open the passenger door against the \u201cslip stream\u201d from the propeller.Yet Captain Loewensnin disappeared without a trace and nothing more was heard from him.WERE POPULAR GIRLS Naples, Fob.21.Mrs.Coert Du Bois, wife of the United States Consul General and mother of the two girls
