Another supporter was added to Premier John Bracken\u2019s Liberal-Progressive following in the Legislature today as the Bracken Government\u2019s fortunes hung in the balance and party leaders discussed the indecisive results of the provincial election a week ago.Election of D.McCarthy, Liberal-Progressive, in St.Rose, the only seat left unsettled from last Monday\u2019s voting, was announced early today.It brought the Government\u2019s strength to twenty-two against a Five Thousand Former Members of Canadian Corps and Their Wives to Visit Rouyn and Other Areas as Guests of French Government After Week-End in Paris.Paris, Aug.3.\u2014The Canadian pilgrimage to the scenes of 1914-18 moved, on today to the battlefront after a week-end of official celebrations and receptions in and near Paris.Tomorrow the six thousand former members of the Canadian corps and their wives will visit Rouyn, where they will receive a civic welcome and be guests at a banquet.The

U.S.CORN CROP -*** combined Opposition of thirty-one, | reached here yesterday when the Communism and Socialism.Exist In This Province.$»\u2014\u2014-*> The farmer-Premier declared his programme of subsidies to farmers was not a plan to create friction between farmers and workers, as the latter would realize their prosperity was dependent on prosperity of the farmer.The Government policy of farm aid would keep farmers on the land instead of going to cities to compete with city workers in the labor market.Mr.Duplessis and his colleagues, said Mr.Godbout, were trying to create trouble between employees and employers.\u201cI say it here before this large gathering that Communism and Socialism exist in the Province.of Quebec and I believe it is possible that agents of this movement have made their appearance in the city of Levis,\u201d he said.At Drummondville, Mr.Duplessis charged the Government had for years opposed the social measures they now offered the public in their election platform His greatest desire was to oust the unfit from public office and remove an administration that had been at the helm too long, the Three Rivers member in the last Legislature declared at Lake Megantic.\u201cWhat I want is to establish in this province a system of administration which will ignore personal interests and be firmly established on the solid rock of honesty and sincerity,\u201d he said.\u201cWe will commence our work immediately the people have cleared away the God-bout-Bouchard party on August 17th, for we will call the Legislature into session.\u201d The week-end was active in the political arena, and several Liberal ministers spoke, Hon.Oleophas Bastien, Minister Without Portfolio, spoke at Three Rivers on behalf of Philippe Bigue, K.C., Liberal opponent of Mr.Duplessis in his home division.Mr.Bastien declared that seeing Mr, Duplessis had been a member of the House since 1927 he would certainly, if he had known of the scandals he talked so much of, have said something of them before now.What meagre information Mr.Duplessis possessed had been picked up from certain discontented employees, Mr.Bastien said.Heavy Rains Alone Hold Hopes of Permanently Quelling Fires in Widely-Scattered Areas of Ontario \u2014 Claim Many Fires Deliberately Set.Toronto, Aug.3.\u2014As dry weather continued throughout many districts of Ontario today, hundreds of men anxiously tried to prevent forest fire outbreaks in widely-separated parts of the province from spreading.Hundreds of men battled new dangers in the Sault Ste.Marie, Napa-nee, Peterborough and Kenora districts.Three hundred men battled flames in the Ajgoma district around Sault Ste.Marie as officials investigated reports some of the blazes were incendiary.Reports reaching forestry offices yesterday claimed that eight places had been deliberately fired along the Bridgeland river north of Thessalon.Rangers and volunteers fought one blaze in Bridgeland township and three in Kirkwood, all near the Bridgeland river fires.The fire at Pointe aux Pins, raging for three days, was less serious, according to officials.A number of small fires burned in the Kenora region, near the Manitoba boundary.Fires burned to within three-quarters of a mile of the Roblindale station near Napanee yesterday.Fire-fighters in the Peterborough district looked to clouded skies and hoped for rain as they battled a bush-fire between Dummer and Douro townships, twenty miles north of Peterborough.Madrid, Aug.3.\u2014 The Madrid Government, claiming new victories in the field, today announced that nationalization of airplane and munitions plants and other key industries was underway in a determined effort to stem the tide of revolt sweeping toward the capital.Church bells were being melted down to manufacture hand grenades, with \u201csatisfactory\u201d results, the ministry added.An artillery bombardment of rebels entrenched in the Alcazar fortress is imminent.Gov.Jose Vega, of Toledo announced orders were issued for artillery to swing into action after the rebels in the historic fortress had fired on a hospital train.The Government approved a decree authorizing the requisitioning of all stores and other business establishments, closed by the owners, unless they opened them and re-assumed control within the next forty-eight hours.The bishop of Jaen and his entourage were imprisoned in the Jaen cathedral by People\u2019s Front militia today when they attempted to flee the city.One million pesetas ($135,500) were found in the possession of the Bishop\u2019s sister, in stocks and bank notes.with two northern constituencies yet to vote in deferred elections.Faced with the stiffest political difficulties in his fourteen years as head of the Manitoba Government, the Premier returned from his riding at The Pas over the week-end and went into conference with his colleagues.He will return to The Pas later to campaign there and in Rupert\u2019s Land, where the deferred elections take place on August 21.There were signs that party councils might bring a new deal for the Government.Beyond the statement that meetings had been held and \u201cimportant matters dealt with,\u201d the Premier and his ministers were Canadians sat down with French war veterans at a banquet and were addressed by Marshal Henri Petain, hero of Verdun, who said the Canadians \u201cwere valiant soldiers whose I courage knew' no bounds.\u201d Marshal Petain was presented with a Vimy Memorial medal by Hon.Philippe Roy, Canadian Minister to France.Speaking for the Legion,

Majesty owns t stretch of land here.The \u201cE.P, Ranch\u201d is one of the show places of the Dominion, and the thorough-l;red livestock which has been brought from England for this ranch has proven a definite factor in the improvement of Canadian herds THOSE BIG SALARIES.St.Catharines Standard.The Toronto Star cites five big industrial men in the Lnited States with salaries of 3200,000 per year and over, and nineteen others with salaries of over 3100,000 per year.In all cases, the high pay is the reward for assembling hundreds and thousands of men into an organization of production, competitive with the world, and it is a highly debatable point whether the salaries of such size are justified when compared with standard wages in industries which provide them.Comparatively movie and baseball stars are paid more and contribute no effort for the employment of large numbers of other people with dependent families.The system of high reward for creative effort and exceptional shill may be all wrong, but where is the better system to replace it.?THE KING A GARDENER.London Sunday Referee.Fort Belvedere wiii replace Sandringham House, it was said.Sandringham House was a royal holiday residence, but the King is making Fort Belvedere his home, his personal property, and not just his residence as Sovereign.He conducts his routine duties in an office in Buckingham Palace.They keep him there late.But unless some function keeps him in London he motors to Fort Belvedere for the night.There are mighty few nights when he stays in London.And he has turned to gardening for his recreation.At week- ends, or in the evenings, if he gets there early enough.But it is not because of the material gain which j h\\\u201epf,s.°,n ,gr_ey^nn
