1930 Dominion Government Has Guaranteed Bank Loans of Co-operative to Premit It to Buy Wheat Futures, Mr.Bennett Informed House\u2014Plan Cheaper Than Subsidy and of More Benefit to the Producer in Opinion of Prime Minister.Ottawa, November lb.\u2014The curtain of secrecy has been lifted from the Dominion Government\u2019s activity in the wheat market.True to a promise made last week, Premier R.B.Bennett yesterday revealed to the House of Commons the steps taken to aid in stabilizing wheat prices.Salient points of Mr.Bennett\u2019s carefully prepared and comprehensive statement were: Since thp fall of 1930 the Dominion Government has guaranteed loans made by the banks to the Canadian Co-operative Wheat Producers, Limited, to permit it to buy wheat futures.It is impossible to say whether these guarantees will entail a loss to the Government until the transactions are all wound up.No forecast can be made as to how long it will be necessary to continue this practice.Practical cessation of speculative buying of wheat left no market for the futures.The wheat pools had to sell in hedging against grain purchased from the farmers.Canadian Co-operative Wheat Producers, Limited, the general selling agency for the pools, under the management of John I.McFarland, was able to supply this need with Government assistance.Mr.McFarland was one of the shrewdest grain men in North America, was not appointed by the Government but by the directors of the company and acted without salary.The payment of a bonus on wheat last year had met with criticism, said Mr.Bennett.This year it was decided financial conditions would not permit payment of the bonus.Any loss sustained in supporting the market would be less than the amount required to pay a bonus, and, he believed, the benefit to the producer would be greater.Today the House of Commons resumes its task of advancing the Canada-United Kingdom Trade Treaty through committee.For the first time since the treaty has come before the House the Liberals and Conservatives were agreed on one of its provisions yesterday.This was the cxiuse providing for removal of the restrictions on the importation of Canadian cattle into the United Kingdom.DUMPING PROVISIONS DO , NOT APPLY TO BRITAIN Ottawa, Nov.15.\u2014Canada will exempt from the operation of the clause in the Customs Act relating to the dumping duty, all goods from Britain and entitled to the British preference or any lower tariff, Hon.F.B.Ryckman, Minister of National Revenue, announced in.the House yesterday afternoon.BRITISH LORDS TO GIVE PACTS THIRD READING We publish the statement from the City Council through the City Auditor, which would appear to be a refutation of our charge that the City Sinking Fund had been impaired by and through the Finance Committees of the City Council.This statement is authorized by the City Clerk for publication.We still do not understand how sewers, sidewalks and Housing investments can represent liquid assets, which is the basis of a Sinking Fund.The Auditor\u2019s statement regarding the composition of the Sinking Fund is exactly as we showed them in our figures.They had to be, as we took them from the same source\u2014the printed annual report.The statement says that these sewers and sidewalks and loans are to be repaid in twenty years.In the year 1931 the amount collected on permanent works of $954,616.66 was $37,665.93, according to the city statement in the printed annual report.Interest alone on this figure of permanent works at five per cent, would amount to $47, 730.83.Therefore, the city\u2019s statement does not show that the permanent works will be collected in twenty years, and in addition thereto earn interest at a reasonable rate Regarding the statement that the Sinking Funds earned approximately $95,000 in 1931, the only amounts of interest received which we find in the 1931 statement are: Tax Department.$11,499.63 Gas & Electric Dept.7,111.48 Water Department .5,503.10 Hoped that Empire Treaties Will Receive Royal Assent in Time to Replace Expiring Tariff of the usual anti-dumping powers and insofar as the Canadian Government had power to fix artificial values for the purpose of duty, but it would not prevent the Government from applying the anti-dumping clause in the case of depreciated currency.In other words, under the new law Canada will not apply the ordinary anti-dumping law to imports from Britain but it may apply it so long as sterling is down and Britain\u2019s currency is depreciated, in relation to Canada's.\u201cThe difficulty which Canadian importers of British goods were experiencing in trying to estimate the amount of duty they were going to pay,\u201d said Hon.Charles Stewart, former Minister of the Interior, \u201cperhaps has had more to do with this amendment than the carrying Act.pired at midnight.It was expiration of these preferences that prompted out of the provisions of the agree- \u2019-be Government to rush the agree- ment.My honorable friend (the j ments measure through both houses Minister of National Revenue) has been learning from rather expensive experience that this is a poor way to enforce the tariff and I desire to congratulate him on the introduction of this measure.I hope he will extend it and that the importer of goods into Canaria will not experience the difficulty which now faces Mm in knowing exactly what the ¦itnount of duty is to be until, in ome cases, certain of the goods lave been sold.\u201d DOMINION LOSS UNLIKELY FROM HEDGING OPERATIONS Ottawa, Nov.15.\u2014It is improbable that the Dominion Government will sustain any considerable loss through the guarantees given the banks in connection with the hedging operations of the Canadian Co-operative Wheat Producers Limited, Premier Bennett told the House of Commons yesterday afternoon.Without hedging operations, prices on the Winnipeg Grain Exchange might have fallen below 10 cents a bushel, Mr.Bennett ;aid.Circumstances combined to limit the organizations or individuals willing or capable of buying futures.Prices dropped on the exchanges, markets became demoralized.The Dominion then stepped in, arranged the credit to enable the central pool hedge.This had the effect of stabilizing the.market and promoting the orderly marketing of the crop.It would not disturb natural laws of supply and demand.Hedging was necessary for orderly marketing of the crop, Mr.Benneht said.When a buying agency purchased wheat from the farmers it protected itself by selling in the Winnipeg pit n corresponding amount in grain futures.Banks, advancing credit to buying agencies, insisted on hedging.Under normal conditions speculators and investors bought the futures.Speculators practically disappeared and the operations of investors (milling companies) were restrirr-cd by the depression.The only organization left to make hedging possible was the selling agency Continued on Page Two.Total .$24,114.21 If the Sinking Fund is earning interest of $95,000 it should be apparent in the statement.It is not shown.* * * Regarding the statement that current borrowings from the Sinking Fund -were temporary and had been approximately 60 per cent, repaid to date, we note that on December 31st, 1930, they amounted to $138,477.61.So that \u201ctemporary\u201d would seem to be an elastic expression.As far back as 1G28 they amounted to $30,000.That it is wrong in principle and reprehensible in practice is proven by the extracts from tht printed critique of the Auditor: \u201cBorrowings from the Sinking Funds cash have continued, and the sums due from the current funds to the Sinking Funds at December 31st amounted to $224,373.17, as shown by the Consolidated Balance Sheet.\u201cI must say that I do not approve of such borrowings; the Sinking Fund should be kept intact.Moneys for current funds should be procured from other sources.\u201d Surely, the City Auditor had given effective reproof to the Finance Committee.We have not held any of the permanent officials at the City Hall to blame for the irregularities in financing.There has been a diversion of of Chambers of Commerce of the ' funds to the detriment of the liquid Empire, to modify the government I assets of the City of Sherbrooke.We rn! in ° n ^ r: irec t s h i p m en t ^ of ^ g rm n are ioth to risk damaging the city\u2019s credit, but who among us would wish to rebuild on an unsound foundation?London, Nov.15.\u2014The House of Lords was expected today to give third reading to the Government\u2019s bill implementing its Ottawa Conference agreements with the Dominions after passing it through committee stage last night.It was expected the bill would be given royal assent immediately, as the Government planned to bring it into force today.Meanwhile customs preferences granted the Dominions under the Tariff Act of last autumn had ex- in the hope it would be in force by the time the provisions of the Tariff Act became ineffective.GRAIN PREFERENCE RULING TO STAND London, November 15.\u2014Despite a last minute effort by Lord Elibank, former chairman of the Federation from Canada, the bill implementing the Empire agreements was passed without modification.Lord Elibank asked for an amendment that would define the term \u201cconsigned\u201d as meaning despatched from Canada and ultimately delivered in the United Kingdom without regard to intermediate steps in transit.He contended without this provision difficulties would be encountered in direct shipment from the Dominion to Great Britain during the winter months.He withdrew his amendment, however, after Lord Hailsham, Secretary for War, had made it clear direct consignment was one of the principles on which the Government was determined to base all Empire preferences.The Government spokesman, Lord Hailsham, said he had had no intimation from Premier R.B.Bennett that the Canadian Government desired any alteration to the existing plan.According to the declarations of importers, continued Lord Hailsham, more than ninety per cent, of the imports of Canadian wheat was imported directly from Canada.There was ample storage accommodation in Canada and England.Already a considerable amount of wheat had come from Saint John and Halifax and another route with merit was from Vancouver, through the Panama Canal and thence to England.The Finance Committee must assume the full responsibility for borrowing from a fund which should be held in trust.We would ¦welcome further statements from the same source as the one published to-day, so that the citizens may be enlightened.We shal\u2019 take pleasure in publishing any explanations received for the information of the taxpayers.It is in their behalf that we asked the questions.The increases in the cost of the necessities of life\u2014light, heat and water\u2014at a period of distress\u2014 from which no one is exempt, has aroused the citizens to take a closer interest in their own public affairs.From the City Officials Editor Record, Sir: Will you be good enough to publish the following \u201cstatement of facts\u201d and give it a two column space

City of Sherbrooke.On page twenty-six of the annual report of the City of Sherbrooke, dated December 31st, 1931, may be found a detailed statement of the consolidated sinking funds which I now

farmers\u2019 fields and oeen unloaded at the elevators.Approximately 175,000,000 bushels had actually been sold.Last year the entire crop sold had amoun-ed to 265,000,000 bushels.The elevator companies had substantial working capital.It was obvious, however, that the elevator companies had not available sufficient working capital to purchase the entire wheat crop.They consequently obtained money from the banks.The banks were perfectly willing to advances approximately 75 per cent, of the money needed on this security of the hypothecated grain.Adjustments were made at the end of each day.But the banks insisted that they should be protected from possible fluctuations in the wheat market.There must he someone who was willing to stand behind the price of the wheat and insure its

University.The chemical is sodium rhodanate.With it.Dr.Bancroft told his fellow academicians, he has increased his own sleep from an average of four hours to seven.Yet sodium rhodanate is an awakener and not a sleeping potion.Its action, Dr.Bancroft said, demonstrates a theory of sleep which shows that form of temporary oblivion akin to.if not exactly the same thing as unconsciousness, anesthesia, or the stupor of narcotics and alcohol.The \"agglomeration\u201d theory, Dr.Bancroft called it.In lay language the proteins of the centres of consciousness harden a little, like the white of a boiled egg.Sodium rhodanate counteracts this hardening, but a small amount acts only on the nerves, without reaching ihe sleep centres.It soothes the nerves, so that they stop interfering.In larger quantities it reaches the sleep centres themselves, and \u201cpeptizes\u201d them into wakefulness.\u201cCaffein,\u201d said Dr.Bancroft, \u201cirritates the sensory nerves and some people, including myself, cannot sleep if they drink coffee in the evening.In my own case 1 can counteract the effect of coffee by taking double the usual does of sodium rhodanate in a glass of water after dinner.I have never tried this on anybody else, and I have : never tried putting the sodium rho-jdanate in the coffee, i \u201cThe sodium rhodanate does not 1 put people to sleep any more than \u2019darkening the bedroom does; but it , makes possible their going to sleep or staying asleep.\u201cRobert S.Outsell, M.D., has ! given sodium rhodanate intraven-I ously to a man suffering from an attack \u2019of sciatica and the man was : sound asleep in half an hour.Incidentally, it cured the sciatica, SEVERE LETTER IS ISSUED BY JUDGE STUBBS Y/innipeg Judge Intimates Court Proceedings Will Be laken if a Law Can Be Found Under; Which They Can Be Instituted.Wnnipeg, Nov.15.\u2014Intimation of ; court proceedings, if a law can be found under which they could he in \u20221 stituted.and a demand that Hon.j Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Justice,\u2019 give an explanation of his \u201cofficial.conduct,\u201d are\u2019 contained in a letter [ sent to Ottawa by Judge L.fit.G., Stubbs, of tfie county court, Win- j nipeg.\t.In the letter addressed to the Minister of Justice.Judge Stubbs ; charges Hon.W.J.Major, Attorney ; General, with attempting to oust him \u2019 from office, and declares Mr.Gu- : thrie has \u201ctumbled\u201d over himself j \"to assist him in doing it.\u201d The county court judge faces an ; inquiry into his judicial conduct early in the new year, when Mr.Justice Frank Ford, of the Supreme Court of Alberta, will open the in-1 vestigation here.Judge Stubbs, who.in the letter, Intimates he is considering the pos- .sibility of court proceedings, says: 1 \u201cFor ordinary malicious prosecution the law gives a remedy.I do j not know whether any redress is, available to a judge for malicious | prosecution by an Attorney General ^ anil Minister of Justice.I do know ; that there ought to be and that if !
