ABDICATION OF KING OF SIAM IS ANNOUNCED King\u2019s Rejection of His Throne Follows Months of Internal Disputes in Siam Over Governmental Matters and Repeated Conference in London, Ottawa, March i.\u2014At seventy-three years of age Coi.Harry Mullins, veteran Conservative member from Marquette, Manitoba, pioneer prairie rancher and champion of the cow and the land, is not through with politics.He served notice last night that he was coming back'to Parliament at the next election and at the same lime treated the House to a lesson in fanning and its opportunities.\u201cMarquette tells me 1 have a mission in this House,\u2019\u2019 he said, \u201cand 1 have got to serve them.\u201d Col.Mullins rose just before the House passed through the committee stage the amendments to the Farm Loan Act to provide the farmer with more and cheaper money.He approved the move, for in his opinion the great need of western fanners was cheaper money and lower freight rates.But he emphatically disagreed with those who claimed the western farmers were in a bad way or that the future of agriculture was dark.\u201cThere is a new era coming,\u201d he told the House, \u201cfor we have a Government that is doing something.For goodness sake wake up and help solve this country's problems and bring back Canada to its feet.Stop your calamity howling and spread a little sunshine.\u2019 The Government was maintaining men in relief camps which should be closed, said Col.Mullins.Farmers could not get hired men as the men were all in camps having \u201cthe time\t_________ ______________ of their lives with hockey games and ^ boxing bouts\u201d and menus fit for a high class hotel.The farmers of Manitoba were going back \u201cto horses and faming as the Almighty intended them to farm.\u201d They needed men and that was why the United Farmers of Manitoba had asked for the closing of the camps.The pioneers on the prairies had had \u201cno such pap handed out\u201d to them as men in these camps.On the prairies, said Col.Mullins, eighty-five per cent, of the farmers owned their own farms and only forty-five per cent, of the farms were mortgaged.This compared favorably with Ontario where eighty-eight per eent.of the farmers owned their farms and forty-two per cent, of the farms were mortgaged.This showed farmers were not in such desperate straits.In fact, he said, many a struggling young professional man in town could buy a western farm cheaply now, and if ne farmed as the \u201cAlmighty intended\u201d could make a home for himself.Although rural members generally approved of the measure, one dissentient voice was raised before it was approved.Wilfrid Hanbury, Liberal, Vancouver Centre, declared: \u201ct am opposed to Socialism in any form and I look upon legislation of this type as a form of Socialism.\u201d He ~ also criticized the Farmers Creditors\u2019 Arrangement Act of last session and claimed by closing up private credit channels it was working to the disadvantage of the best type of farmer.Other classes as well as farmers had gone through troubles in recent years but were not being supplier! with government loans, he said, describing the bill as \u201cclass legislation.\u201d Although a lumberman, he would have opposed making such loans to the lumber industry.\u201cBy placing in the hands of producers the funds to increase production,\u201d he said, \u201cwe are simply emphasizing the unfortunate condition now prevailing.One must interpret this measure througn which we are enabled to loan the farmers 890,000,000 as one which would have the effect of encouraging increased production.The fact is that today we have over-production in many lines of farm produce.\u201d Before the bill left committee Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Minister of Finance, had a change made in the definition of \u201cfarmer.\u201d The Act will now define farmer as \u201ca person whose principal occupation is farming.\u2019 The Minister said he could not conceive of a wider definition and insisted the determination of whether a poultry-raiser or a bee-keeper should come within the definition be left to the Farm Loan Board.Hon.Hugh Stewart, Minister of Public Works, made progress with Ids estimates in committee, of supply.With little discussion the House approved all items for the Public Works Department chargeable to income, aggregating some $13,(HK),-000.Today the House will consider an amendment to the Farmers\u2019 Creditors\u2019 Arrangement Act, also sponsored by Mr.Rhodes, and other items in the estimates.Pandemonium broke in the House when George Spotton, Conservative, North Huron, referred to J.L.Brown, Liberal, Lisgar, as \u201ca half-baked clergyman.\u201d It came during a fierce attack by Mr.Spotton on the Hepburn Government for its alleged abolition of the farm loan scheme, and before the fight ended Mr.Spotton was obliged to retract his descriptive phrase.It was Ontario day in the House, Conservative members scoring the new Liberal Ministry in Toronto for its attitude toward the farming comrivimity, and Liberal members contradicting these assertions and defending the new Ontario Premier.Conservatives declared the farmers had been let down, and that no loans had been made under the scheme established by the Henry Government; while Hon.J.C.Elliott, Liberal, West Middlesex, told the House that.231 loans had been made since the Hepburn Government assumed power.The atmosphere warmed considerably.though, when Mr.Spotton opened fire on Premier Hepburn and some of his colleagues, particularly Hon, Duncan Marshall, Minister of Continued on Page 2.1 I Ottawa, March 1.\u2014The Canada Gazette today carried a proclamation requesting special thanksgiving services in all Canadian churches on May 5th 1 and setting aside May 6th, the I twenty-fifth anniversary of King George\u2019s accession, as a | \u201cday of general thanksgiving and rejoicing on the occasion of our silver jubilee.\u201d ! The thanksgiving services on ! the Sunday before jubilee day were described as giving an opportunity for \u201cappropriate expression of gratitude to Al-: mighty God for the manifold bounties and great _ mercies ; which our loving subjects, the | people of Canada, have enjoyed | during our reign.\u201d Cranleigh, England, March 1.\u2014 King Prajadhipok of Siam was announced by his private secretary today to have abdicated the throne.The announcement of abdication of the diminutive monarch was made by M.R, Smaksman, who has been hero with his king on a \u201cvacation\u201d from troubled Siam.The King\u2019s rejection of his throne follows months of internal disputes in Siam over governmental matters and repeated conferences in London with a delegation of countrymen who attempted to patch up the wide split between the monarch and his administration officials.An official notification reaching King Prajadhipok from his capital, Bangkok, that parliament had bluntly rejected his conditions for retaining the throne was the final straw for the picturesque monarch.Smaksman announced: \u201cThe detention realizes that this answer from Siam means abdication.\u201d The king himself did not plan to issue formal announcement of abdication, his secretary said, leaving that to the government officials at Bangkok.Smaksman explained: \u201cHis Majesty feels it would bo a breach of diplomatic courtesy, while in this country, to make any statement which might be construed as propaganda for himself.\u201d The hint w'as dropped however that the king, who, among his other titles is \u201cThe Descendant of the Great God Buddha\u201d and \u201cthe Possessor of the Twenty-four Umbrellas\u201d hoped in his heart that his people might some day call him back to the throne.YU GO SLA VI AN FEE IGHTER REPORTED SAFE New York, March 1.\u2014The Y\u2019ugo-slavian freighter Bosanka, which had reported herself disabled in the North Atlantic off the coast of France, was out of immediate danger today, the Radio Marine Corporation w'as informed in a message from the German steamer Stuttgart.The German vessel reported tne Bosanka had been able to make repairs to her steering gear and was proceeding under her own power.The distress call from the Bosanka, which has a crew of about thirty, brought four vessels,including the Stuttgart, hurrying to her position, but they later resumed their courses.*- FAIR AND COED.Pressure is high over the Maritime Provinces and eastern states, also in the Mackenzie Valley but relatively low in Saskatchewan and the western slates.With the exception of some local snowflurries the weather has been for the most part fair, cold in Quebec and the Maritimes but comparatively mild over the Great Lakes and in Alberta.Forecast : Southerly

Against U.S.Dollar Pound Dropped Three Cents Below Old Gold Parity\u2014Various Reasons Advanced for Downward Trend.Provincial Secretary-Treasurer Hopeful that Improvement in Business May Wipe Out Deficit of $489,203 in Provincial Accounts.Fredericton, N.B., March 1.\u2014 Bringing down the budget in the New Brunswick Legislature today, Hon, A.J.Loger, Provincial Secretary-Treasurer, expressed the hope that continued improvement in conditions, coupled with a favorable award by the White Commission would turn an estimated deficit of $489,203^ into a surplus.Mr.Leger estimated receipts for the present fiscal year at $5,781,660, or $345,152 above a 1934 revenue of $5,436,508.Expenditures were estimated at $6,270,863, or $42,197 less than 1934 expenditures of $6,-313,060.No new taxation was forecast in the budget speech.\u201cWhile we do estimate a deficit of $489,203,\u201d said Mr.Leger.\u201cyet we are confident that the improved conditions through the province will be reflected in our provincial finances, and if we do not reach near normal condition in revenue, we may yet count on a balanced budget.In all this, we make no credit allowance for a prospective increased subsidy.\u201d This latter reference was to the anticipation which the Provincial Government has that an increased allowance from the Dominion Government will be the outcome of the submission which it presented to the Commisison presided over by Sir Thomas Whitt and appointed to consider revision of the financial arrangements between the Dominion and the three Maritime provinces.No outstanding announcements were contained in the budget speech, mostly given over to a review of conditions within the province, and a deforce of the administration\u2019s stewardship.It painted a glowing picture of recovery in different lines of industry.In 1934 a deficit of $153,842 was budgetted for.The actual 1934 deficit was $876,551.Reference to this is made in the budget speech, which points out that unforeseen and unavoidable expenditures were incurred by freshet damage and disastrous forest fires.At the last session of the Legislature, Premier L.P.D.Tilley predicted a balanced budget for 1935.TERROR REIGN MARKS PASSAGE OF COMMUNISTS Missionaries Report Many Atrocities as 25,000 Communists Pass Through Southwest Shensi Province in China.Sian, Shensi, China, March 1.\u2014 A reign of terror, accompanied by wholesale executions and looting of towns, marked the passage of 25,-000 Communist troops through southwest Shansi province during the past fortnight, missionary reports disclosed today.Some twenty-five misionaries abandoned their posts to escape the menace and fled through ice and snow covered mountains in quest of sanctuary.A portion of the scattered Christian workers, many of whom carried their children in their arms as they abandoned their stations, has been accounted for.About one half their number was reported to have reached Fengsiang to the westward and Ankang, in southeastern Shensi.The Rev.and Mrs.S.C.Freudian, Australian missionaries, believed to have been kidnapped by the invaders, were still unreported, but Miss R.V.Thompson, of Nevada, Iowa, and Miss Alma R.Artibey, of Chicago, are reported safe.London, March 1.\u2014 The pound sterling slumped again today against foreign exchanges, with no early prospect of stabilization in sight.For the first time it touched eleven shillings, eightpence against the French franc.Against the United States dollar it dropped three cents below the old gold parity.At the same time, gold rose a shilling a fine ounce to a new high in terms of the \u201cpaper pound.\u201d The causes were variously ascribed to continental nervousness over the future of sterling, the British deficit on the international balance of payments, the commodities gamble, an unfavorable foreign view' of the large increase in Government subsidies, and a belief the adverse trade balance would be reflected in a further drop in the pound\u2014either naturally or politically- The depreciated sterling so far has not seriously affected the cost of living.The index figure is slightly less than when Britain left gold in September of 1931.Echoing the brief remark of Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville Chamberlain yesterday, that the fall in the pound was a different matter from internal purchasing power, the Evening Standard said today: \u201cIn Britain there is neither nervous nor any cause for nervousness in the state of the pound.The stock market are in a healthy condition.\u201d REMAIN SILENT ON CONTROL OF WHEAT MARKET Traders and Officials Refuse to Comment on Plans of Government to Establish Grain Trading Board.NATIONS REACH AGREEMENT ON FOTDRE ACTION Believed that Great Britain and France Have Agreed that Germany Should Make Clear Attitude on All Points Security Pact.m London, March 1.Sir John Winnipeg, March 1.\u2014 Extent of control over marketing operations was the question before farmers and grain traders alike as details of the Dominion Government\u2019s grain board were awaited today.The announcement from Ottawa of intention to establish the grain board was welcomed by farm leaders while grain traders deferred comment along with some government officials until the set up had been announced.Pegging of prices last November and charges of foreign bear raids were recalled with the discussion on the grain board.Because of the bear raids, the council of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange fixed the minimum price of May wheat at eighty cents and July at Slti cents at the request of the Dominion Government.At the market close yesterday, showing a loss on the day s trading from Vi to \u2019h cent, the May future sold at 83% cents and the July at 83 cents a bushel.ALBERTA LEGISLATURE APPROVES PROJECT Edmonton, March 1.\u2014Winding up a long debate which threatened at times to become stormy, the Alberta Legislature last night unanimously adopted a resolution welcoming the announcement from Ottawa that a national wheat board is to be, formed.ROYAL COUPLE GUESTS OF JAMAICA GOVERNOR TODAY Duke and Duchess of Kent to Make Two-Day Stay in Historic Capital of British Island on Honeymoon Trip.Kingston, Jamaica, March 1.\u2014 Socialities of Kingston\u2019s old capital made ready today to welcome royalty at a ball in honor of the honeymooning Duke and Duchess of Kent.The King\u2019s son and his beautiful bride, deeply tanned from a fortnight's stay at sun-splashed Montego Bay, were to be guests of Governor Sir Edward Denham tonight at a dinner and dance, at historic King\u2019s House, the administrator\u2019s residence.They were expected to go back tomorrow to Montego Bay, 120 miles away on Jamaica\u2019s north coast, where they have been holidaying by the Caribbean since February 16, enjoying all in relaxation of a couple of ordinary tourists.They broke up their stay in the quiet resort yesterday by coming to the capital for a two-day interval.Last night they were guests at a dinner aboard the British warship T ork.Once back at Montego Bay, early next week, the.Duke hopes to go on an alligator-hunt.So far he has failed as a shark-hunter, but he looks for more success with the alligators.Simon, Foreign Secretary, arrived today at Croydon, flying from Paris after conversations held there with Foreign Minister Pierre Laval.Sir John was met by Lady Simon.Interest in the European scene, so far as the move to establish an extensive system of security pacts is concerned, shifted u day from Paris to Berlin as the brief visit of the British Foreign Minister at Paris came to an end.It was learned that his forthcoming trip to Berlin would be a \u201cvisit of exploration,\u201d The general scope of the trip, it was learned on high authority, was mapped out yesterday at the British embassy in Paris where the Foreign Secretary and Pierre Laval, French Foreign Minister, were luncheon guests of Sir George Clerk, British ambassador.Although no formal statement was issued, the impression in informed French quarters was that Britain and France still were in agreement that Germany should make clear her attitude on all points of the projected security agreement.FLANDIN GOVERNMENT GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Paris, March 1.\u2014The government of Premier Pierre-Etienne Flandin today won another huge vote of confidence in the Chamber of Deputies.The legislators voted 427 to 126 to postpone debate on a Leftist demand that the \u201cPeasant Front\u201d be prosecuted for threats to call a tax strike and march on

C.Stam, following the pillage of Tsingteh.The famine is the result of the almost unprecedented droughts which extended over virtually all China last summer.GERMAN FLAG HOISTED OVER SÂARBRUECKEN Hitler

March 1\u2014Urging a safeguarding provision be inserted in the Patent Act against the issue of patents for frivolous, unfeasible and valueless inventions, J.H.Van Koolbergen.of the International Bureau of Inventors, Montreal, toki the Senate Banking and Commerce committee that Canadian inventors were being fleced by unscrupulous United States concerns.A \u201cdeplorable\u2019\u2019 condition existed in certain communities in encouraging inventors to take out patents in this country, said Mr.Van Kool-brrge.One firm of patent solicitors, he alleged, sent out circulars of encouragement in the value of inventions to prospective patentees.Of almost l.O'OO patents examined by his organization only about 28 were considered valuable by his company.Total expenditures on these patents for Government fees and service charges had amouned to npproximbatoly $100,000 while the money invested on the strenth of these patents by the inventors or their backers amounted to a minimum of $500,000, he claimed.\"If these inventors had been Quebec, March 1.\u2014Creation of an independent commission to administer the $10,000,000 the Government is about to ask Hie House to vote for colonization purposes was urged upon the Quebec Legislature yesterday by Aime Guertin, Independent Conservative, Hull.Mr.Guertin was continuing debate on the hill of Minister of Colonization Irenee Vautrin calling for the voting of the $10,000,000.Progress was reported on the bill.Mr.Guertin foresaw grave dangers should the choice of settlers be left with members of the Legislature.A commission of independent men to include a few clergymen he believed would exercise the proper control over tiro spending of the money and the choice of the, settlers.He had no fault to |ind with the Vautrin plan.He hoped, however, it would be implemented by action and would not be marred by any \u201cpolitical manoeuvring.\u201d Edouard Fortin, Liberal, Beauce, spoke of the colonization work accomplished by the Government during the past fifteen years.During that time, he said, 30,000 acres of new lands had been turned over to settlers ami seventy-five new parishes incorporated of which thirty-five were in Abitibi alone.The sincerity of the Government in offering to spend $10,000,000 could not be doubted, he concluded, when it was remembered its revenues had decreased considerably due to its contributions to relief.These, he said, amounted to $21,000,000 during the depression years.\u201cIf we cannot make our English-speaking compatriots love us we should at least strive to have them respect and aumire us,\u201d Provincial Secretary Athanase David stated in continuing the debate on the bill.Mr.David\u2019s statement came in reference to efforts he thought should lie made not only to promote a return-to-the-land but to improve the facilities for all citizens for in* tellectual development.Declaring there was no Chauvin* ism in his remarks and that he spoke as a realist Mr.David added: \u201cEach time we are about to have a more than normal increase in population in Quebec there has been an increasa in immigration.History proves if.Wc may as well make up our minds CLAIMS

too closely for the merry grafter; to get away with it.There is coming forward the selfless man with his community close to his heart.Mr.Giles does not think that so many acclamations are a sign of public indifference; for a healthy i interest in public affair; is evervwhere self-evident.Rather, too, having confidence in the better class of: men, there is more harmony, more real civic spirit.: and lesser uproar.The phalanx system oi electing halt a council one year, and half the next season, has not worked cut t the advantage of continuity of service for which it was advocated.Rather would a complete-; two-year service tor the whole Council be more effective.This is not the expression oi Mr.Giles.A City\u2019s Best Advertisement Is Its Newspaper.Mhat car a newspaper do for its own town or city?It is the mirror of its place of publication, it is a day-to-day advertisement of its own town, and whether it be a gc >1 advertisement or an indifferent one depends on the editor and publisher and the staff.Me have held that the yearly Review Number of the Record travels all over the Engiish-reading world, and that any name or any announcement goes down to posterity.Many copies are laid away in the family archives to become treasured reference records for future generations.The Editor of the Montreal Star ha;

presentation there is no hidden interest to which the editor is tied.W'e all know that a \"tied\u201d newspaper cannot carry conviction or exercise influence any more than does ihe man who bleats an untruth as did the C.C.F.man who libelled the probity of the pres;

£ this report, submitted at Paris a week or two ago.r.as now reached us.It is a reassuring declaration of principles and purposes.In many respects, 1934 was for France a year of economic hardship.It witnessed rapid increase in French unemployment, difficult times in trade, repeated recurrence of prediction (mostly in other countries,1 that the gold standard in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy was about to break Aowti and the gold valuation of their currencies sink to unknown depths.The officia, comment on this prophecy, as contained in the annual report by the Governor of the Bank of France, is spirited.After frankly setting forte tr.e trying situation which exists in world trade and industry, he remarks: It does not rest upon us here to bring this-Situation -to an end, but it is our duty not to contribute toward aggravating it.Maintenance of the franc s stability is not solely a national necessity.In our view it represents a duty of far wider scope; a duty which we have no wish to avoid.In other words, resistance to depreciation or -reva.nation of the pre-ent franc is resistance to tendencies toward world-wide monetary and economic chaos.But, in the present confusion of outside conditions and ideas, is effective resistance possible?Tr.i; is the Bank of France\u2019s answer: Our money standard is safeguarded, more than ever heretofore, from external pressure.Its lot depends only on the courage of the French people.Their choice, in that regard, is made already.As between certainty and illusion, thrift and specula- t.productive work and the profit of a moment, 'rey do not hesitate.It remains only for us to dec,.are again our owe determination to remain strictiy faithful to the only monetary policy which w*- believe conforms to the national interest.To a good many people, this forthright declaration of fa tn wi.l seem like a gust of fresh air infused into the controversies of the timid British Exchequer spokesman and the repudiatioimt;: at Washington.To\twho.know something of our own previous economic c- an ; our own old-time battles over the rro-.eta'y \u2019araarc.the language will posdbly bring to mind the sturdy public declarations of President Cleveland, when the money standard was attacked in the hard times of 1394 and 1395.History record-pretty plainly what the longer sequel to that episode of the Nineties was.The Governor's report for the Bank of Franco recognize-: frankly the demoralizing influences at work on the international situation, but it ha; something def.nite to «ay about them: It is not.in our judgment, political umsettle-rner.t which is the essential cause of so long and w.despread a depression.It is rather that the normal play of economic force;, whose bénéficient act:or.ought V, insure progressive disappearance of tne or,-;-, has been constantly blocked by arbitrary interference.Above all, the trouble is the uncertainty that continue- to prevail ir.the monetary field.Impeding the exchange of goods as it impedes the free movement of capital, this monetary instability arrest?, every movement of recovery r international commerce.It condemns every country to withdraw into itself and, by entirely artificial expedients, to seek in its isolation an illusory prosperity.Grand Rapids, Mich., March 1.- -W.T.Irwin, of Grand Rapids, was on his way to the Northwest Territory of Canada today, hoping to meet his twenty-three-year-old son, David, who telegraphed yesterday a story of months of adventure and hardship in the sparsely inhabited district of Keewatin.Irwin started his trip yesterday after revealing a telegram from the youth briefly recounting the hardships that had overtaken him near the end of a three year journey j with a motion picture camera, through Alaska and the island dot-, ted waters around the Hudson Bay Region.Irwin and his wife said the telegram, delayed in transmission had come from Baker Lake in the Northwest Territory, and was the first communication they had received from him in more than six months.\u2018\u2018Sorry to have made you all this| worry,\u201d said young Irwin in his;

a lawyer and a detective for conspiracy to have Gerguson provide the evidence.MISFORTUNE OVERTAKES ADVENTUROUS YOUTH.Churchill, Man., March 1.\u2014Misfortune today had overtaken David!
