that the only eeat of such jurisdiction was thr Imperial Parliament.Great Britain might on the advice of t Canadian ministers, negotiate such a treaty, but only the Parliament.at Westminster could approve of such a pact.There was no authority in section 1 32 of the British North America Act, Mr.Tilley further contended,for Canada to assume a treaty obligation for a province only.As to question six of the reference, dealing with treaty-making powers, Mr.Tilley de-;

that is, the provincial ownership of the bed of a stream is not subordinate to the public right of navigation, and the Dominion has no legislative power to declare that such ownership was subordinate to that public right of navigation.Pointed Reference To Framing Of Questions.At the outset of the Ontario argument there is pointed reference to the framing of the questions in the reference, and to the nature of the questions as framed.\u201cIn the conferences that took place,\u201d says the Ontario brief, \u201crepresentatives of some of the provinces, including Ontario, complained that the questions then submitted by the Dominion for discussion were obscure and inadequate, and these objections have not been removed in the questions as finally incorporated in the ordor-in-council.The representatives for the province of Ontario did suggest that if questions similar to those proposed hy the Dominion wore to bo allowed to stand, questions eight and nine should be add-( Continued on page 9) the China Inland Mission headquarters at Lanchowfu, capital of Kansu, dated August 1, stated that acute troubles started last spring.At that \u2019time armed Mohammedan bands began raiding villages throughout Central Kansu, robbing and slaying the inhabitants, who were unable to offer effective resistance.More Troops Sent.This situation caused General Feng to dispatch an army corps from Honan province to Kansu in an attempt to subjugate the Mohammedans.These forces, however, were defeated and more \u2022 soldiers were then poured into Kansu.This resulted in civil warfare which was believed to bo continuing, although there have been no reports later than August.The American headquarters of the China Inland Mission are in Philadelphia.Lack of Housing and Food.The letter from Lanchowfu stated that at the time it was sent refugees were pouring into the Kansu capital from the countryside.This resulted in deaths and acute suffering because of lack of housing and food.Information received from the assemblies of God Mission in Min-chow, southern Kansu, dated August, stated that similar conditions viciv\t.,___________ ____ Two score were - Express Company, members of the ed out and their prompt action %vas\tj Brotherhood of Railroad and Ex- Kansu situation stated that the responsible tor saving at least to missm\t.\t.\t! press Clerks, went on strike shortly warfare was of the cruetest nature some extent the exterior of the bund- Pedestrians in the narrow;
