Council.#\u2022 Ottawa, June 9.\u2014 Following their three day meeting here, the sixty-first in the history of the organization, the members gf the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association were today en route for their homes.Addresses that have travelled the whole field of national and industrial economy, of politics and commerce, were delivered to the three hundred representatives who were present at the sessions.Last night the manufacturers heard Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Minister of Finance, upholding their faith in Canada and emphasizing that in spite of the welter of depression into which the world has been precipitated, the credit of the Dominion continues to stand high among the nations.Speeches by Sir William Clark, the British High Commissioner, and by Hon.H.H.Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, were also features of the manufacturers\u2019 meetings.The imminence of the Imperial Economic Conference dominated the deliberations of the Association.Confidence that practical results would be achieved was frequently expressed, while the reciprocal advantages that -would have to be offered in the negotiation of any agreements among the British nations were recognized by all the speakers.W.C.Coulter, of Toronto, was elected president of the Association yesterday.Mr.Coulter, who was first vice-president during the year just ended, succeeds W.H.Miner, of Granby.George Henderson, of Montreal, was elected first vice-president; L.L.Anthes, Toronto, second vice-president, and T.F.Monypenny, Toronto, treasurer.The following were among those elected to the executive

Involved in Scheme that Would Have Defrauded Insurance Companies of $68,000 at Daveluyville Is Narrowing Down.Victoriaville, Que., June 9.\u2014The investigation into the arson case at Daveluyville is progressing rapidly and the search for those involved in the plot that would have defrauded insurance campanies of $68,000 is narrowing down.One man, Donat Pepin, has already been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary when evidence was established that he had been concerned with the setting of the fire in question.This fire occurred in a small plant at Daveluyville at the end of last December, the plant being the property of and operated by the Victoriaville Furniture Limited,one of the largest furniture plants in Canada and with headquarters here.It is believed that several persons were connected -with plotting the fire.Among those who arc doing everything within their power to unearth those responsible for the crime are J.E.A.Alain, president of the company, and George Can-tin, vice-president, who gave testimony at the trial of Pepin, and have since keen leaving no stone unturned in their investigations here.ROOSEVELT RETAINS HIS LIQUOR CONTROL VIEWS Believes Democratic Party Will \"Clearly Indicate\u201d in Its Platform a Way to Abrogate the Eighteenth Amendment.Washington, June 9.\u2014Prohibition, the unbidden guest of United States politics for a decade, has started for the Chicago conventions with main entrance tickets and a seat on the platform.The White House took occasion last night to repudiate reports that President Hoover had approved a re-submission plank for the Republican party but other leaders of the party have indicated that such a plank is receiving consideration.James R.Garfield, who is writing the platform, has declined to discuss it.Governor Roosevelt, of New York, in an interview last night, said he believed the Democratic party, which he hopes to lead as Presidential candidate in November, will \u201cclearly indicate\u201d in its platform a way to abrogate the eighteenth 1 amendment.His own views on prohibition as pronounced in 1980, he added, have not changed.At that time he said the control of liquor should be returned to the States.CANADIAN FINANCES SOUND, SAYS HON.EDGAR N.RHODES Ottawa, June 9.\u2014When prosperity makes its long awaited return to the world and historians begin to record the statistics of the nations during the past two years, Canadians will be able to look back over their financial history with pride, Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Minister of Finance, told the members of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association assembled here last night, \u201cWe have met all our obligations, both domestic and foreign, without undue strain,\u201d asserted Mr.Rhodes \u201cOur banks and great financial institutions have been more than equal to all reasonable demands made upon them.Our national credit stands high, and we can today marshal as strong forces to meet every possible test as we could one year ago, notwithstanding the fact that, in the period which lies immediately behind us, Canada was confronted with, and successfully met and overcame a number of very real problems of more than ordinary magnitude.\u201d Mr.Rhodes was the speaker at the banquet of the association which concluded its 61st annual general meeting here.The meeting has been in progress during three days.It brought together delegates from all parts of Canada.The speech of the Finance Minister was strongly optimistic.He declared that Canada had every occasion to look to the future with confidence.Touching on the Imperial Conference next month, Mr.Rhodes agreed with the statement made to the association by its past president that \u201cwo should not expect miracles.\u201d \u201cWe should have, nevertheless,\u201d he proceeded, \u201cfull faith that benefit can accrue to each component part and to the Empire as a whole.The measure of its success will be the degree to which its discussions are approached from the point of view that there can be no advantage which is not mutual.\u201d He expressed the \u201cfervent hope\u201d that in making representations to the Government the association would keep this fact in mind.\u201cDuring this period of excessive\u2014 indeed of unprecedented depression \u2014reason is apt to give way to fear,; and atmosphere to be charged and surcharged with dire rumors and evil forebodings,\u201d the Finance Minister stated at the outset.Under such circumstances it required courage and cool-headedness to main-lain one\u2019s sense of proportion.Therefore, without attempting to minimize difficuties it was well to keep in mind those factors which made for encouragement, and held out every hope for the future of Canada.In this connection, said Mr.Rhodes, it was impossible to avoid quoting a few figures.\u201cDuring the fiscal year ending March 81, 1931,\u201d lie conthierl, \u201cwe exported of fully or chiefly manufactured goods SCO per cent, of the volume of tho year 1914, a quantity equal to that exported in the year 1924, and 75 per cent, of that exported in the buoyant year of 1929.\u201cFigures for partly

Continues in Free State.Norfolk Shipbuilder Quite Reconciled to Remaining in Jail Until Date Set for Trial.Flemington, N.J., June 9.\u2014An assertion that all bonding companies refused to furnish his bail because they were \u201cafraid\u201d was made last night by John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk shipbuilder, awaiting trial on a charge of misdirecting the Lindbergh baby search.In his first public statement si:.re he was incarcerated on May 18th, Curtis declared the only reason he did not post bond was that he could not get it.He denied he himself was \u201cafraid of anyone.\u201d He is reconciled to remaining in jail until his trial, he said.The trial was set for June 27th, but indications were today that it would be put over until September.\u201cJAFSIE\u201d VISITS BOSTON Boston, June 9.\u2014 Dr.John F.Condon, of New York, the \u201cJafsie\u201d of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case, made what was apparently a surprise visit to Boston police headquarters today.Dr.Condon was accomp.-ied by Samuel Leon and Robert Coar, loth New Jersey state police investigators.They arrived o'n the night boat from New York and walked to police headquarters.\u201cJafsie\u201d said he had come to Boston to see the rogues gallery and attempt to identify a man known as \u201cJohn Bergman.\u201d FLEISCHER EXPECTED TO SURRENDER SHORTLY Detroit, Mich., June 9.\u2014Police said today Harry Fleischer, recently sought, in connection will: the Linidfbergh baby kidnapping, and wanted for questioning in the Col-lingwood apartment massacre here last year, would surrender soon to Detroit officials.MARTINEZ HAS DECIDED TO RULE SALVADOREAN PEOPLE Intends to Remain President, Even Though His Regime Is Not Recognized by Numerous Foreign Governments.Dublin, June 8.\u2014Two more important sections of Mr.De Valera\u2019s pet measure have been rejected by the Irish Senate, thereby prolonging the parliamentary deadlock over the bill providing for abolition of the oath of allegiance to His Majesty the King.If pieces continue falling of this measure, Mr.De Valerà will soon be as scantily clad with parliamentary clothing as Mahatma Gandhi, his brother in sympathy, is with bodily clothing.Despite reports the Senate might adjourn further consideration of the bill, which has been given second reading, until th-e conclusion of the negotiations with Britain opened here.President Eamonn de Valera told the Senate the Government had not changed its attitude towards the bill and, therefore, he saw no reason why the Senate should not proceed with it.After passing without division a section eliminating that part of the constitutional act which defines the form of the oath to be taken by members of Parliament, the Opposition majority rejected two important sections.By a vote of 30 to 22 they rejected a clause which would repeal that section of the Constitution Act stipulating that anything in the constitution repugnant to the Anglo-Irish treaty shall be null and void.Then by a vote of 31 to 22 the Senate rejected a third section which would have removed references to the treaty from article 50 of the constitution.President de Valera, accompanied by Sean T.O\u2019Kelly, vice-president of the Executive Council, and two secretaries, none of whom took part in the preliminary discussions, will leave for a conference in Tandon on Friday at which Prime Minister Ramsay MàcDonald will be present.He evidently expects the RAIN ASSISTS FATIGUED FIGHTERS TO CONTROL RAGING FOREST FIRES Fires in Lake St.John District Reported Under Control\u2014 Several Settlements
