[" Sailu ÎRercrù \u2022r* \u2022yj» Established 1897 SHERBROOKE, QUE., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1931.Thirty-Fourth Year* BUDGET RESOLUTIONS OF PREMIER PASSED WITHOUT HOUSE DIVISION THREE THOUSAND CHINESE ; MINERS ENTOMBED Premier Taschereau Makes Masterly Defence Against Attacks of Opposition Speakers\u2014Resents Characterizing People of Quebec as \u201cHewers of Wood and Drawers of Water\u201d\u2014Radio Measure Also Received Approval of Legislature.Quebec, Feb.11.\u2014in thef\t\u201e a w ^ Legislature yesterday the ! ! CriÇf A TURF budget resolutions of Pre-j\tI mier L.A.Taschereau, acting as Provincial Treasurer, were adopted without division, and, in spite of vigorous criticism from J.P.Sauve, Conservative, Two Mountains, and Maurice Duplessis, Conservative, Three Rivers, the radio bill sponsored by Hon.Mercier, increasing the facilities for broadcasting the Provincial Hour,, was also approved.The Conservative members, expressing the fear that the radio might become a political weapon, demanded the appointment of a non-political commission to administer the radio broadcasting of the province.Premier Taschereau, in winding up the budget debate, denned that the province had net progressed since Confederation, and that the people were still \u201cthe hewers of wood and drawers of water\u201d pictured by the Opposition speakers.Rather, the Premier pictured the provinces of Ontario and Quebec moving forward in unison to the goal that danger would threaten from neither east nor west.In a speech marked by an easy grace, the necessary touch of humor, and for the wide range of subjects covered, a comparative brevity, the Premier first delivered a mild rebuke to the Conservative members for Hull and Dorion, (Montreal).Mr.Taschereau then turned to answer the charges levelled against the administration by the member for St.George, Montreal, C.E.Gault \u201cAs far as the member for St.George, Montreal, is concerned, may I be permitted to say very charitably, for I want to be charitable, that if he had read the public accounts he would not have made such statements, and would have shown a different appreciation of them.In regard to the surplus, 1 said in the budget speech that in ten years we had increased our net consolidated debt by $4,744,000, but during the ten years we spent $o8,000,000 of our revenue in public works, permanent works, and yet the Opposition says that the surplus each year is fictitious.Where did we get the money from if we did not accumulate sur- Î pluses for ten year's ?It is true that j there was added close to $5,000,000 |\t- to the debt, but we have put into j Althouzk Early Profit-Taking practice what l call good political! \u201e\t, p,., .,i .economy by putting our surpluses into fruitful enterprises, so it means that out of surpluses we spent $33,-000,000 for public enterprises, plus the $5,000,000 added to the funded debt.The criticism of the member for St.George as to the casli account is extraordinary.He adds the balance of the ten years, and gives an average and comes to an average surplus.| PEIPING, China, Feb.11.\u2014[ Chinese reports from Manchuria | here today said that 3,000 min- ] ors were entombed Sunday noon I I in the Fv.shun mines by an un- j j derground explosion.A consider- ] i able loss of life was feared.| i Rescue work was started im- | mediately, but only a few per- | sons could be taken from the | shaft.Relatives of the entombed i men gathered at the pithead, in j | their .grief making a pitiful I scene.BUILDINGS TO BE ENLARGED! New Ten-Storey Building Will Accommodate Increasing Administrative Service for Government.QUEBEC, Feb.11.\u2014Tne Government has signified its intention of erecting a new wing to the Legislative Buildings, which will be ten storeys high and will face on Grande Allee.The new build'ng will be connected with the present edfice by a bridge, and will serve to accommodate the increaS'rtg administrative service of the Government.When the notice of motion was found by members of the Quebec Press Gallery, the no >e began to dawn that it may also be possible that the Government has in mind, even in the somewhat distant future, to give additional accommodations to the newspaperman, who still occupy one room, as was the case more than forty years ago, this room being the size of the room ordinarily assigned to a stenographer of a minister, though the number of working newspaper, men have grown to fifteen, not counting weekly newspaper.The Gallery yesterday secured a r \u201ccruit in the person of a representative of L\u2019Illustration, s Montreal French morning daily, which means that the twelve seats in the Press Gallery itself are being still more hard pressed to find one seat for each daily \u2022 newspaper published in the province, not to mention the fact that at times some dailies wish to have two representatives.BULLSRËTÂIN FIRM GRIP ON WALL STREET Caused Slight

Government proposal to begin construction of armored cruisers is regarded in Italian circles as a distinct naval threat and a disappointment to the hope that France would stand on the terms of a building truca between Italy and herself.Italy, it was said, still stands on the offer to continue the naval holiday until Franco-Italian differences are adjusted, but she is ready to carry out her declared inteniion of building ton for ton what Franco puts in the ways.Italy considers that practical parity exists because the Italian fleet is modern and roughly equivalent in fighting power to the French navy wihch has much old tonnage.France and Italy vere placed on parity in battleships at the Washington naval conference and although both countries are free to build their quota of large craft Italy has not shown a deoir-i to do so.Should France adopt the proposed plan for building a series of armored cruisers of about 23,000 tons each, it is said here that Italy probably would reply with a \u201cton for ton, gun for gun\u201d policy.Since Italy is not bound to any limitation under the London pact she might, it was intimated, answer France's programme by building an equai tonnage in cruisers.For the moment, however, these considerations must await fmvl action by France and a decision by Italian naval experts.It has been reported in Paris that the French proposal will not be introduced in the Chamber of Deputies for several days.CANADA ALWAYS DAIRYMEN SEEK READY TO KEEP PROTECTION RY HER TREATIES HIGHER TARIFF Major Bell, of Nassau, Bahamas, Pictures Canadians as Economic Imperialists and Not Flag-Wavers, a Nation Which Is Honorable With Everyone.WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb.11.\u2014Canadians are economic imperialists, not flag wavers, in the opinion of Major Bell, of Nassau, Bahamas.Major Bell went to Canada last summer for the purpose of creating interest in marketing Bahamian tomatoes.In an interview given to the Nassau Guardian, Major Bell discusses the question of the Canadian market for Bahamian tomatoes saying \u201cOur tomatoes must be supplied consistently and with .niformly graded goods.Failure lies squarely upon the producers if this market is lost.\u201d \u201cCanadians are economic imperialists, not flag wavers.Those who will play with fairness will get alt the return that can be given and Canada is willing to maintain to the I limit her obligations under the jWest Indies Treaty.I do not think, : however, that Canadian public op-I inion will tolerate for long an expensive steamship service that means a drag on the oublie exchequer, if the treaty colonies seek to ignore their obligations.\u201cThis is my personal opinion, I have hesitated for long to give my views.The Bahamas need Canada much more than the Dominion has need of th-' Bahamas, and I think that if we close this open door, it is a shortsighted economic policy.\u201d To Ask Committee for Increased Tariffs on Casein and Milk Powders\u2014Brief Being Prepared by F.E.M.Robinson, of Richmond.OTTAWA, Feb.11.\u2014The National Dairy Council will ask for increased tariff protection on casein and milk powders during _ the tariff hearings before a committee of the Cabinet, which will open here on February 17th.Although the final decisions as to the brief, being prepared by F.E.M.Robinson, ox Richmond, Que., president, and W.F.Stephen, secretary, of Ottawa, have not been reached, it is believed that the council will not ask for any alterations in the tariff on butter and other concentrated milk products, increased during the emergency session this year.The demand for casein, used as a coating for paper and leather and also in the manufacturing of plastics and glues, is rapidly growing in this country and has great possibilities.The present tariff is 17 1-2 per cent British preference, 12 1-2 under the Australian treaty, twenty-five per cent intermediate, and 27 1-2 per cent general.Despits this duty it is claimed that Argentina is able to lay down this product at a price which makes it highly competitive in the Canadian market.The importation increased from 254,000 pounds in 1928 to StKVOOO pounds in 1930.A differential will likely be asked as between skimmed milk powder.The present duty is 2 1-2 cents a pound British preference, 3 1-4 cents a pound intermediate and general.The chief competition is said to come from Holland.$100,000,000

Socialist Leader, Leon Blum, to meet which the Minister of Labor and his aides are preparing an ample report.There has been a general feeling that the government\u2019s figures of roughly 30,000 unemployed receiving official aid is below the real number of those out of work who are not drawing subsidies.Neither does the figure take into account the large number who are working only part

House of Savoy as its | ruling family.The Pope received an) indemnity of about $92,000,000 for property taken away after the capi-itulation of Rome in 1870.As a consequence of the treaty the Pope

annual meetings of the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade and the Eastern Townships Immigration Society were held at the City Hall.There were a number of representatives from various indivdual Boards of Trade, and the meeting, although not very largely attended, could be termed a successful one.The election of officers for both associations was one of the main items of interest on the agenda.Mr.B.N.Robinson, of Coaticook, was re-elected president of the Eastern Townships\u2019 Immigration Society.YVith him are Messrs.R.W.S.Nut-brown, treasurer; G.W.Murphy, Sherbrooke, and

the Dominions, and Hon.G.Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner, at the banquet of the Canada Club last night.Mr.Thomas and Mr, Ferguson alike paid tribute to the work accomplished by Lord Wilfingdon, now tho Earl of Willingdon, during his four years in Canada, and to the high regard in which he is held by the people of Canada, while of Lord | Bessborough, the new Governor- j General,

in Ontario.Mr.Thomas remarked on the financial difficulties in Australia and the complaints from certain quarters against the treatment Canada accorded to immigrants who became the victims of circumstances, \"but let us all keep a sense of proportion\u201d, Mr.Thomas added.After pointing out the tremendous constitutional changes that had been brought about within the Empire Mr.Thomas declared he was certain that the new High Commissioner would play a great part in the direction of Empire solidarity.lion.Mr.Ferguson reminded his audience that the people in the far-off portions of the Empire were making tremendous sacrifices to maintain their positions as units of the Empire.Canada, for instance, had invested three billions of dollars in transcontinental railways, when by the law of economics these would have been built north and south across the boundary line.\u201cWe in Canada are having our difficulties but I am glad to say they are of a temporary character\", added tho

Press recently, \u201cis the logical result of conditions under which it is felt that the best interests of Canada would not be served by aggressive immigration activity at the present time.A material saving in expenditure will be effected, and at the same time ample provision will still be made to furnish information to all residents of the United States who are interested in settling in Canada.For the present the movement from the United States, as from other countries, is being confined strictly to those who can establish beyond question that they will not contribute directly or

Canadian farm products were concerned.Dr.Pickel dealt with the present problems the farmers are facing.Some of these, he said, had been caused by political interference, while in other cases tha farmer himself was to blame.One of the big needs of the present day farmer, Dr.Pickel thought, was co-operation.As a result of the non-co-operation which exists today, milk and cream, he claimed, are sold in Montreal with all the profit going to middlemen instead of to the farmer, Tho grading of hogs and eggs were also carried on in a manner that were not benefiting the farmer, who is losing a largo part of the profit which he should make.Under the present conditions, with the exception of the price of milk and rents, a person could live more cheaply in Montreal than in the country.Dr.Pickel said._ The remedy for the present situation suggested by Dr.Pickel was the election of more farmers as members of Parliament.\u201cThey would put a little more common sense into the Government'\u2019, he stated.There was also too much experimental farming these days, and tco much grading.This state of affairs does not work to the advantage of the farmer, he claimed.The western farmers also came in for considerable criticism.They were termed the greatest menaça that the east has to contend with at the present time, and it was tha opinion of Dr.Pickel that although everything had been done for themi they would never be satisfied.Dr.G.A.Bowen, of Magog, dealt with the question of a provincial national park at Orford.This matter has already been given much study and consideration.Although there is nothing definite to announce as yet.the matter is by no means dead, and Dr.Bowen is prepared to give it all possible attention.Mr._ John Nichol, of Lennoxville, one of

the books and affairs of the Chicoutimi Harbor.\u201cI want to have tho facts about all these harbors,\u201d said Mr.Duranleau last evening.\u201cIt appears that most of them are saving money and are conducting their affairs properly, but we want to have the facts and I think it will oe satisfactory both to the taxpayers of Canada and to the Harbor Commissions themselves to have the fullest information made public on these matters.\u201cWe want to know particularly, as far as the Montreal Commission is concerned,\u201d said the minister, \u201cabout the building and the financing of the large harbor bridge, and we also want to know about the number of cars that are being maintained and used by the Commission.It will be most satisfactory for all concerned to have these matters
