[" storbrnoke Sailg Swnrù Established 1897.SHERBROOKE.CANADA.TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26.1933.Thirty-Seventh Year.RADICAL PREJUDICE CAUSED DISMISSAL OF TWELVE WAR HEROES, HEADS OF FAMILIES, AT POST OFFICE Trouble Makers, Who Delight in Spreading False Reports, Endeavoring to Break Down Bonne Entente\u2014Temporary Workers Dismissed on Orders of Postmaster-General Sauve, Who Has Boldly Disregarded Legislation Giving Returned Soldiers Preference\u2014Positions Filled by French-Canadians Recommended by Politicians Concerned Only in Advancing Their Own Ends.*- SEVEN PERSONS WERE TRAMPLED TO DEATH Manila, P.I., Dec.26\u2014Seven persons were trampled to death in a Christmas Eve church service in the village of Tunauan, a dispatch today to La Vanguardia said.The story from Tacloban, provincial capital of the Island of Leyte, said the congregation thought the church was afire when a sparkler fireworks display was lighted at the altar in a midnight service.#- The underground activities of a certain group of picayunish politicians, ever willing to use the race cry to advance their own narrow interests, has resulted in the dismissal of twelve English-speaking temporary employees at the Sherbrooke Post Office and their replacement by six French-Canadians.The twelve dismissed employees are all returned men with families, who risked their lives for the country for a period of four years and suffered injuries from the effects of which they have never fully recovered.Their places have been taken by a group of which only two answered the call to arms of their King and country.And these pin-headed political chieftains are not content to disrupt the workings of the Canadian Civil Service for their own advancement, but would also use.what is at the worst only a minor incident as an excuse for breaking a tradition of long-standing in Sherbrooke which has done much to promote the feeling of good-fellowship between the races and advance the Bonne Entente.They would scrap the unwritten law that French-Canadians and their English confreres should alternate in the Sherbrooke mayoral seat.Every winter the local Post Office engages a number of temporary employees during the Christmas rush, the number required this year being twelve.Under Act of Parliament, all government departments are required to give preference to returned soldiers with families, regardless of race or nationality.Seventeen men.all English, in this category applied and a list of the twelve men believed to be best fitted for the posts, was forwarded to the authorities.These men were duly appointed and started their duties the Monday before Christmas.Not a single French resident with the necessary qualifications applied.Then the trouble-makers got busy.A local French organ immediately erroneously charged that the French-Canadians had been deliberately overlooked.Demanding concerted action by the French-speaking element, the paper declared, \u201cThere is a limit to tolerance and the Bonne Entente.\" Whether the action was inspired by a group of politicians headed by Charles DeL.Mignault, Armand Crepeau and Ernest Sylvestre, or whether inspired them, cannot he determined, Ibut they wasted no time in enter- Kg the fray.\t^_______________________________________________________________ These Conservatives, supported by i ~ ; UNITED STATES DEATH TOLL OVER tions with the

recent demonstration before high ranking JAPANESE PLAN GREATEST ARMY OF PEACE TIME Legislative Programme Calls for Army and Navy Appropriations of $281,400,000, Largest Peacetime Defence Appropriations in Country\u2019s History.Tokyo, Dec.26.\u2014Emperor Hiro-hito opened today a Diet session at which are expected to be approved the largest peace-time defence appropriations in Japan\u2019s history.Thousands stood in brilliant sunshine along the route taken by the procession of state from the palace to the parliament building.Thera the Emperor, reading from a rescript, declared the session opened.The legislative programme, drafted by a cabinet dominated by the Ministers of W'ar and Navy, calls among other things for army and navy appropriations of 938,000,000 yen, about $281,400,000.These appropriations represent forty-four per cent, of the total for all purposes \u20142,112,000,000 yen, or $633,600,000.Under the cabinet\u2019s programme, the army will receive 450,000,000 yen, $135,000,000, and the navv 488,000,000 yen, or $146,400,000'.The former is the largest peace-time appropriation for land forces that Japan has ever known, and the lat- civil and military air officials.It is the work of Nicolas Florine, *-er Just 12,000,000 yen short of a young engineer of Russian the Navy s all-time high of 499,- descent, who is a naturalized Belgian.He has been financed by the Belgian fund for National research.The helicopter, which looks like the skeleton of a giant insect, has two four-bladed propellers rotated by a 200 horsepower engine.The machine weighs about one ton.Hon.Artnur Sauve succeeded in hav- i ing the twelve Englishmen dismiss- i ed, the men receiving their notice on t Saturday afternoon.In the mean- 1 time another list had been forwarded : to the local postmaster of six 1 French-Canadians who were to fill | their places for the balance of the j rush.W.H.Lynch, K.C., local Federal ; Conservative party leader, was disgusted to say the least with developments.\"On Saturday morning,\u2019\u2019 he said, \u201cI received a call from Mr.Sauve asking me why I had made this selection.I referred him to a letter from Louis J.Gaboury.assistant postmaster general which de-clar-ed that in every case, returned men witn families must be given preference in making or recommending appointments to the post office.Mr.Sauve denied that he had ever issued these instructions and told me he had requested Armand Crepeau to prepare a new list.I then told Mr.Sauve that I was through with the whole affair and that he and his self-appointed advisers had better carry on the whole business on their own.\u201d The agitators found support from a former English mayor, A.C.Skinner, who was ready to enter the fray upon hearing a one-sided explanation of the case \u201cIt is unfortunate,\u201d he said, \u201cthat the FrenchCanadian element has been forgotten in this matter of engaging temporary employees for the Christmas season; but the fault does not lie with the English citizen?of Sherbrooke in general.The blame must he placed upon the Federal government that permits such a situation to exist, and also upon those who committed this grave error in Sherbrooke itself.\u201d Mr.Skinner commented before he knew the real facts of the rase.C.E.Soles, local postmaster, refused to make any statement, hut the twelve discharged men have only I he highest praise for the treatment he accorded them.W.E.Husbands, ¦Uh Brigade C.F.A.who served overseas from 1915 to 1919, one of the dozen, said, \u201cMr.Soles seemed only too pleased with the way we were performing our duties and retained us until ho received definite orders from his superior officers.\u201d The dismissed war veterans immediately took up the matter with the local branch of the Canadian l-egion and W.W.Foote, the president, this morning stated that a : trong protest had been lodged with the Dominion Command, who brought pressure to bear in official circles.\u201cWe take strong exception to these men being dismissed for no reason other than to satisfy the whims of some petty politicians.The law provides that in all Federal Government appointments, permanent or temporary, returned soldiers with families are to be granted the preference.No qualified French-Canadians applied, with the result that none were appointed.If Parliament feels that the situation is wrong, let them amend \u2022tlit1 law, but in the meantime follow the letter and the spirit of the legislation.\u201d The complaint by local French organ that French-Canadians are being neglected for local Federal appointments is absolutely not borne out by facts.In the local Department of National Revenue there arc fourteen permanent employees, only three of whopi are English.This despit the fact that ninety-three per tent, of the revenue comes from English sources.Furthermore, one of the three Englishmen is W.R.Mooro, the acting collector, who is due to retire on pension shortly, and many see the English minority growing still smaller.In I he local Post Office, over two-Coatinuod on Page Two.HOLIDAYS NEARING TWO HUNDRED 000,000 yen in

assertion that \u201cthe position we have taken has isolated us.\u201d Breaking his long silence in Agence Economique Financière, M.Herriot, whose cabinet fell on the issue a year ago, declared: \u201cI am for as close contact as possible with the United States of America.\u201cI can not cease,\u201d he said, \u201cto denounce the danger\u201d of the attitude France has assumed toward the

\u201cwhat might happen in case of a European war.\u201d While Britain wTas making a \u201ctoken payment\u201d on her debt to the United States, France defaulted for the third time earlier this month.M Herriot, who now is said in political circles to be a likely prospect to succeed Camille Chautempe as Premier soon, maintained his silence at that time.However, before the third default

Victims, Total Fatalities in Saturday\u2019s Catastrophe Now 199\u2014Entire Nation Mourns Great Disaster as Preparations Advance for Thorough Investigation \u2014 President LeBrun Pay* Respect to Dead Visits Injured in Hospitals.Paris, December 26.Known fatalities in Saturday night\u2019s railroad disaster reached 199 today with the deaths of three more victims, including an unidentified man, in Paris hospitals.Of the total number killed, only three persons remained uniden-titied at noon today, they were tw\u2019o women and a man.Meanwhile an investigation was pressed into the worst train wreck in France\u2019s history.An indication of the frightful shock of the crash of the Strasbourg flyer into the fogbound Nancy Express, seventeen miles from Paris was the fact that 163 passengers in wooden cars of the express were killed outright.As investigators continued what loomed as a long inquiry into t ie tragedy, the worst railroad disaster in the history of France both the engineer and fireman of the flyer remained in prison at Meaux, charged with homicide by imprudence.Reflecting the grief of the entire nation, President Alfred LeBrun bareheaded and pale with emotion, passed before 160 caskets __ .\u201e in the basement of the East Paris station.He tonight and probably tomor- ; hospitals, leaning over each bed row, kd observers to predict New j comfort to the injured y.rt, City would experience it, ;\t^ smiled or painfully lifted , hand in gesture of thanks, hut many were unable to see or hear their President.Lucien Daudigny engineer of the flyer, and Henry Charpentier, be fireman, both badly shocked by the disaster, continued to insist he signal was for a clear track ahead and that they heard no warning torpedoes, left by tbe crew of the Nancy train.A protest against their \u201cillegal and arbitrary\u201d arrest and imprisonment was made by Deputy Louis Rollin.Other deputies insisted that a thorough investigation of railroad safety measures be made, claiming the French system may be out of date.New York, Dec.26.\u2014A blinding snow storm covered New York City with five inches of snow in less than four hours today, discr-ganized traffic, caused a minor harbor accident and tied up incoming ships.The snow began shortly before 7 a.m., and was driven by a thirty mile wind.It made walking hazardous, slowed up motor traffic and held ferryboats behind schedule.The rapid fall, coupled with the weather bureau\u2019s forecast cf snow also visited speak words of sympathy and worst blizzard in years The accident, without -jrijus consequences, involved the ferryboat Somerville, bound from Jersey City to Manhattan with three hundred passengers, and the Youngstown, empty and returning to Jersey City.The boats were Jiily slightly damaged and no one was injured.Ten thousand men were given employment clearing snow.Motor Car Mishaps Responsible for Greater Part of 180 Deaths, but Zero and Sub-Zero Temperatures in Many Squadron Sections Also Took Heavy
