[" lifrbnrokp Sailg Uwnrb Established 1897.SHERBROOKE.CANADA, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1931, Thirty-Fifth Year.THERE ARE SEVERAL INDICATIONS THAT DEBATE IS NEARING AN END «¦ FISHING SEASON WILL OPEN TOMORROW Political Observers Predict that Monday Will See Division on Liberal Amendment, and that After That Commoners Will Get Down to Definite Work\u2014Senate Takes Three Weeks\u2019 Holiday * ¦ OTTAWA, Ont., April 1 7\u2014 Only ope chamber will function in Parliament today, the Senate having taken a holiday until May 5 th.\tThe 1 louse of Commons will resume its now protracted debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.This debate has been going on now for up- j wards of a month, in point of elapsed time, but there are many indications that it is nearing its end.Political seers predict that Monday will see the division on the Liberal amendment, and that after that the Commoners will get down to definite work.G.B.Nicholson, Conservative, Al-goma East, will be the first speaker today.The interim supply bill, which has made definite provision that the ' country\u2019s financial obligations will be safe for at least two months more \u2014 one-sixth of the estimates iiaving been approved \u2014 received Royal assent by Mr.Justice New-eonibe, Deputy of the Governor-General, in the Senate yesterday.This was the only business done by members of the Red Chamber.Following it they took a three weeks\u2019 adjournment.After Wednesday's vigorous debate on unemployment, the proceedings in the House yesterday were tame.One bright exception enlivened a featureless day, however, and it came in the last speech\u2014that delivered by J.T.Hackett, Conservative member for Stanstead.Severely castigating those who pi-otested against reconsideration of the Montreal terminals question.Mr.Hackett denounced the \u201clog rolling which has been the curse of this country for tiie past sixty years.\u201d In these days when money could be more usefully expended on better purposes, Canada should look well to what was being done for the Canadian National Railways terminals in Montreal.He himself wanted the advice of experts and not the advice of men who were financially interested in supplying the materials which would go into the construction of the station.He wanted to be assured that the terminals would be of benefit to the whole country and that their erection was not dictated by a feeling that because Toronto had a new station, Montreal must also have one.It would not.provide work for Toronto, or Winnipeg, or Vancouver.\u201cIt would give work in Montreal,\u201d interjected a Liberal member.That, retorted Mr.Hackett, was just the point.It was this logrolling that had cursed Canada since Confederation.He wished to register his protest against that sort of thing.Mr.Hackett was loudly cheered by his Conservative colleagues when be took his seat, members thronging and extending warm handshakes.Apart from the Stanstead member, other contributors to the debate traversed only matters that bad already been exhaustively dealt with since the discussion opened.Canada's depressed conditions, the situation of the Western farmers, the conduct of the Prime Minister at the Imperial Conference, unemployment.Die tariff, falling revenues, decreased trade, low prices for farm (Continued on Page 11.)

the Federal Department of Marine and Fisheries, Hon.Hector La-ferte.Minister of Colonization, Game and Fisheries of the Province of Quebec, announced that j the opening of the fishing season has been advanced from May 1 to Saturday, April 18.The early opening is due to the unusually early diasppear-ance of ice from lakes and rivers, resulting from the mild winter.#- BOMBAY, April 17.\u2014Prince

the Throne, Sees Standards of Living Lowered and World Trade Decreasing Under Conservative Policies\u2014Farmers and City Residents Both Suffering from Low Prices, Local Member Claims.OTTAWA, April 17.\u2014In both industry and agriculture there has been added distress since the present Government came into power, said C.B.Howard, Liberal member for Sherbrooke, speaking in the House of Commons last ^.ight.All employees of industries in his constituency were suffering from decreased wages, and farmers were receiving less for their products than they had in many years.Mr.Howard stated that certain cotton mill employees working fifty-five hours per week were now only drawing $15 per week salary after sixteen years\u2019 service; although before the election they received from $23 to $25 per week.Since the present administration had come into office, Canada\u2019s world trade had decreased, there were lower standards of living in this country and the Dominion had suffered loss of markets.In Quebec province, French-Canadians, he said, had accorded to the English Protestant minority the fairest of treatment, which he wished were done in all provinces.He said ihac the election of the Government was due to the support they had received from the Saskatchewan Government.Taking direct issue with Mr.Howard on the position of industry in the Eastern Townships, J.T.Hackett (Conservative, Stanstead), said that many people were enjoying employment there1 now as a result of the tariff imposed at the special session of parliament.Mr.Howard, he added, might say he was not a \u201cProtectionist Lioeral,\u201d but he was \u201cone of those Liberals who took all the protection he could get.\u201d KIN(follow orkSnalplan STANSTEAD MEMBER CONDEMNS Thwarted in Efforts to Obtain

to his original plan to constitute a non-political government to replace that of the premier resigned, M.Mironescu.The cabinet, as is now projected, will contain men chosen by the monarch himself and not by the politicians or the nation.TERMINAL AS SENSELESS RIVALRY John T.Hackett State» Montreal Terminal Plan a Product of \u201cLog Rolling\u201d and \u201cSenseless Rivalry\u201d\u2014Sees No

Meeting of Cabinet\u2014No Election Announcement.QUEBEC, April 17.\u2014The Quebec cabinet yesterday officially concurred in the decisions reached at the recent Interprovincial Conference with regard to the Colonial Laws Validity Act.While the date for the election was undoubtedly discussed at the session, Premier Taschereau refused to make any announcement on the matter.The Premier submitted the draft Statute of Westminster to which the conference was called upon to give approval This draft is to give effect to certain resolutions passed by the Imperial Conferences held in the years of 1926 and 1930.There are six sections, and the seventh sec-jtion is left blank, with the proviso I that, \u201chere to be inserted a section dealing exclusively with the Canad-!ian position.\u201d The draft

Conservative Motion of Censure Assured MacDonald Ministry of Continuation in Office for Indefinite Time\u2014Government\u2019s Next Danger Point May Come After Presentation of Budget.LONDON, April 17.\u2014The Labor Govern merit of Premier Ramsay MacDonald appeared today to he as safely entrenched in office as at any time in its nearly two years of life after beating a Conservative motion of censure with a majority of fifty-four voles.The Conservative leader, Rt.lion.Sluiiley Baldwin, made a determined attack against the Ministry at perhaps its most vulnerable point, un- j employment, in moving its censure' on that count, but in the division 1 lobbies the Commons lined up 305 i for the Government and 261 against.' The ministry was aided by the votes of twenty-three Liberals, less than half the Liberals in the Commons.Ten Liberals voted against1 the Government, and five abstained.Fir Oswald Mosley and the six members of his \"new party\u201d abstained, : but the Labor Left Wing voted with 1 the Government.The margin of victory amazed I even the most sanguine of Mr.Mae-] Donald's followers, who previously] had reckoned that tho Government i would win by about ten votes.There i was a roaring cheer from the Labor benches as the result was announced, but the demonstration lasted only a minute affd the members, tired by ihc long debate, dispersed to their | homes.Tho vote assured the Government [of continuation in office for an inde-I finite time.Its next danger point may come after the presentation of : the budget, which is likely to contain some unpleasant items for both Government and Opposition, hut with Liberal help such as accorded in last night's division it.should pull through without difficulty.Tho burden of presenting the Government's case on unemployment fell upon the shoulders of Rt.Hon.Tom Johnston, newly appointed Lord Privy Seal, who laid the vast number of jobless to world economic conditions which he said the Government was striving with all its power to correct in Great Britain.After Johnston bad spoken the Liberals trooped out behind their leader, Rt.Hon.David Lloyd George, to decide their attitude.The vote was overwhelming to support the Ministry, although allowing individual members Ihc right to vote as they wished.j Noted Statistician Believes Business Has Definitely Turned Corner, and that Before End of Year There May Be Shortage of Labor.WASHINGTON, April 17.- The prediction that business has definitely turned the corner and that he would not be surprised to see a shortage of labor in some lines before the end of the year was made to President Hoover by Roger W.; Babson, noted statistician, who pre-1 dieted the stock market crash in 1929._ This prediction, made at the White House, was coincident with the publication of figures by the Department of Commerce showing that, although well below normal levels, United States foreign trade in merchandise during March increased $49,000,000 reaching a grand total of a little less than $500,000,000.Mr.Babson emphasized to the President that this was his first optimistic prediction since the business slump which started in the fall of 1929.\u201cIf statistics tell anything\u201d, he said, \u201cthey show that business has turned the corner.Car loadings are increasing.Earnings are increasing, particularly in the chain store industries, and one or two big firms in each industry show by their earnings that for them the corner has beer turned.\u201d Mr.Babson had just come from the Department of Labor where, he said, ho found figures showing the first actual pick-up in employment rolls since 1929.He added that the effect of the enormous combination of federal and state construction j programmes, which were started I early in the winter primarily for I relief purposes, had not yet been j felt in a great degree and that these ] would add their benefits to the up-[turn.Mr.Babson predicted that the decline in commodity prices might con-] tinue for an indefinite period.He mentioned that the last commodity price decline extended over a period of 40 years.He confidently expected that the next era of speculation would be in commodities rather than stocks.\"People arc tired of stocks\u201d, he said.Mr.Babson said that the last ] flurry in the stock market signified ! practically nothing.The sudden bull ! market early last month, he said, ! was simply \u201cthe discounting of the } adjournment of Congress\u201d.The bear trend of later days came with bad earnings, he added.\u201cThere was nothing in business, so far as statistics show, that warranted stocks going either up or down\u201d, he continued.\u201cWe have been dragging bottom since December, and I really do not expect to see much activity in \u201etoek-, for the next two years.\u201d There Are Twenty Million People Willing tr Work But Unable to Find Anything to Do\u2014Conditions in Canada Belter VANCOUVER, B.C., April 17.\u2014 Their Majesties King Prajadhipok and Queen Rambai Barni, of Siam, with princes of the Royal household, and entourage of some fifty personages, arrived here early this morning on board the steamer Em-[press of Japan.The royal party ar-I rived at Victoria last night where the King and Queen were etxend-[ ed a welcome to Canada by officials representbig the Dominion, province and City of Victoria.Today will be spent quietly aboard the I liner and at midnight the royal -arty will leave by special train for New York.His Majesty on arrival at Victoria was confined .to his cabin suffering from an attack of malaria and bronchitis.History was made in the welcoming of the royal travellers at Victoria for it was the first occasion on which Canada has been visited by a reigning king and queen from my land beyond the seas, .nd while His Majesty\u2019s indisposition was regretted, his inability to officially receive the welcome extended by representatives of the Dominion and 'provincial government, the Mayor of Victoria and Canada\u2019s military and naval services, was considerably roT-ned by the gracious manner by which Her Majesty acted in the absence of the King, when she accepted.on his behalf, the aood wish | es of the Canadian people.\u201cI desire to acknowledge with grr Jtude the many expressions of1 qood will hat have been extended to us.I am aware that in a large measure these courtesies exprès- ] also a fecling of sympathy and j friendship for the people of my) kingdom, a fact that makes them the more deeply appreciated.\u201d Upwards of fifty newspapermen j and a battery of cameramen lined j the gallery leading to the ballrocm.I Queen Rambai Barni, and her es-1 rort good naturedly faced the ! flashing lights, and the clicking ] shutters in entering and leaving ] the place of reception.Later Prince Savasti, uncle of the] reigning monarch, gave an audience i to the representatives of Canadian I md American newspauevs.WASHINGTON, April 17.\u2014 Figures collected here and abroad indicate there are perhaps 20,000,-000 people in the world who are willing to work and have no jobs.Students of economics and politics believe this is by, far the worst fea-tuve of the present depression.Mr.Magnausson, of the International Labor Office, says: \u201cIt is no exaggeration to say that unemployment has been the over-shadowing problem.\u2019\u2019 Canada is looked upon here as suffering lightly from this economic plague.On the whole new countries and countries which depend to a considerable degree upon agriculture, are happily situated in times of depression, one expert sail \u201cThere are always a few potatoes on a farm and there is undoubtedly not the actual want in Canada that may be found in highly industrialized countries,\u201d he added.It came as a stock to the people of the United States when the official figure of 6,050,000 unemployed was recently announced, despite the fact previous unofficial estimates had run as high as 7,000,000.These figures place the United States well up in the international unemployment list.The enumeration of unemployed is made or.different bases in different nations and as a consequence it is impossible to make accurate comparison.The latest official statistics available for the principal countries are as follows: Germany.4,383,843; Great Britain, 2,044,209; Italy, 642,169; Japan, 386,394; Austria, 331,239; Australia, 102,900; Netherlands, 103,728; Sweden.80,578; Denmark, 70,961; Bel glum.63,340; France, 28,530.These figures represent registered unemployed, wholly unemployed, and those receiving benefits.There is no doubt they do not reflect the situation in any adequate degree.QUEBEC.QUE April 17.\u2014Up to April 1st, this year, 60,265 automobile licenses were issued, according to figures given out from the Provincial Revenue Department.While a comparison has not yet been made it is thought that the number is an increase over that of last year on the same date.SLUMP IN NEWSPRINT INDUSTRY CAUSED BY OVER-CAPITALIZATION Premier Taschereau Declares that in Spite of Timely Warning Given by Provincial Government, Production Increased While Demand and Prices Were Falling\u2014 Promoter\u2019s Insatiable Desire \u201cto Make\u201d Stressed by Premier.ABOLITION OF SOLDIER BOARD IS SUGGESTED ^ UEBEC, Que., April 17.\u2014 \u201cLooking at the paper indus-try solely as an industry, it is adian National Railways Montreal terminal project as a product of \u2018\u2018log rolling\u201d and \u201csenseless rivalry\u201d between rail-jway companies, J.T.Hackett, Conservative member for Stanstead, pleaded for further consideration of the scheme.In a maiden speech delivered in the House of Commons last night, Mr.Hackett immediately revived the interests of the galleries as he launched into a review of the debts of the Canadian National Railway, culminating in the drive against haste in going into the Montreal termina] expenditures.The House was quick to recognize the debating ability of the new member.The official estimate of the cost of the terminal was $50,900,000, but competent persons had stated it could not be completed for less than *100,000,000, Mr.Hackett said.When it was all finished it would not bring a single additional passenger to the railways of Canada.It would only succeed in attracting a few passengers to the Canadian National from the Canadian Pacific, which would be forced to \u201cbuild a similar edifice of folly\u201d to retain its passenger business.A solution for the Montreal terminal difficulty, he suggested, might be found in a joint terminal for tho two railway companies, operated by a separate company which would prevent expensive and useless competition and deal out justice to both.The railway committee of the a profitable one, four companies, to-1 House of Commons.Mr.Hackett 8%;$8aWi?8?82 -S&SS'ÆïrV Premier L.A.Taschereau declared '\t1 t\u20acctlnica,1 knowledge to décida in an interview here on the news- iï] ^UCl\u2019\tilLeStions\t\u2019 print situation in the Province of !1 V,at c^mnuHee nad approved tho Quebec.\t!
