Deported Rumored That Doukhobor Leader Has Been Served With Papers Yorkton, Sask.—It has been learned here on high authority that Peter Veregin, Doukhobor leader now serv- ing an 18-month term in Prince Al-| bert jail, following a conviction for | perjury, has been served with depor- | tation papers by the warden on behalf | of the.Department of Immigration. | Serving of these papers, it is under- | stood, followed investigation reported | to have been made by the immigra-| tion department through the Sas-| katchewan attorney-general's depart- | ment. Formal proceedings may re- quire considerable time as there is the right of defence as ‘well as the right of appeal. Mr, Veregin did. not come to Can- ada direct from Russia, having lived in Germany for a time before sailing from Hamburg. A man prominent in Doukhobor af- gin would like nothing better than to return to Germany, as he is a great admirer of the German people. Under the Immigration Act, a per- son who is not a Canadian’ citizen may be deported {f he has been con- victed of a criminal offence in Can- ada. Think Panic Has Passed Bank Letter Sees a Period Of Reconstruction Ahead Toronto, Ont.—The Canadian Bank of Commerce, in its monthly news letter, made public here, saw in ris- ing security prices evidence of a per- fod of reconstruction. “A few important developments,” the letter said, “would seem to indi- cate that the period:of panic has passed and that one of reconstruction ds ahead.” “ While: the letter made much of the general improvement to international action levelled at the forces-of de- pression, it added conditions through- out Canada showed signs of recovery in themselves. Recovery of sentiment in the west, improved crop conditions and pros- pects over those of last year, and the willingness of Canadian financial in- stitutions to back sound expansion of business, it said, promised‘ greater ac- tivity. Railway and Truck Problem Must Give Thirty Days’ Notice To Cancel Rate Schedule Ottawa, Ont—The board of railway commissioners, in a judgment handed down, appreciated the problems set up by highway truck and water com- To Take Advantage Of Trade Agree- Eatinate For This Year Piaces ‘Crop | ments Reached At Conference | At 426,818,000 Bushels Ottawa, Ont.—At the coming ses-| Winnipeg, Man.—The wheat fields sion, parliament will likely be.azked | Of western Canada will produce 426,- to take steps to enable Canada to 813,000 bushels of wheat this year, ac- better participate in the advantages | cording to the. annual estimate of offered by the trade agreements en- | &Tain crops compiled by the Winnipeg tered into at the Imperial Economic | Free Press, Saskatchewan's prcduc- Conference.

The railways had argued that when | freight rates were lowered to meet competition on the promise of ship- | pers that they would use the rails, | the bus and water carriers promptly | lowered their rates and the shippers, failed to redeem their promises. They | asked the, right to make changes in | thelr schedules with no more than | five days’ notice. | The commissioners held that the | 80-day notice was statutory and could not.be disturbed. 1959 WwW. ON. Uz markets in the United Kingdom is| being made by the Department of | Agriculture in Ottawa. A campaign | for increased hog production is one, of the projects under consideration. | One of the surprises has been the | low prices for live cattle in the Unit- | ed Kingdom. Canada shipped no cat: | tle to Britain last week and up to the, Present the department has received | |n0 information of any being shipped , j this week. ‘The chief-reason is that | Canadian domestic prices. have ad-j | vanced above United Kingdom prices | when shipping costs are taken’ into’ consideration. Despite the 20 per cent. duty on! zeta cattle, beef prices in Britain: are | low. Bacon is exceedingly cheap in Britain just now and in great abund- | ance so that its consumption has ma terially increased. Lamb and mutton | are also in great abundance. | A heavy movement of western cat- | tle to the Ontario farms this fall is expected. The live cattle market is always the best in Britain in the| spring and with so great an .abun- dance of feed in Ontario this year, | plans are being made to buy western cattle, fatten them during the winter'| and have them ready for export in the spring. Loading Wheat At Churchill Fifth Ship Arrives At Northern Port | To Load Cargo For Cardiff Churchill, Man.—After ‘battling | gales, fog, and ice in the North At- | lantic and Hudson Strait for a week | the 8.8.

She ex- pects to discharge her cargo in Car- diff in two weeks. Capt.. Thomas Griffiths, of the Hainton Lines. sald he was bothered somewhat by ice in the strait. This ship does not’ carry a Gyro compass. Officers sald such a. compass was necessary in Hudson Bay. The M. H.

Commissioner Of Excise \ | Toronto Investment Banker To Suc-| ceed G W. Taylor, Who Has Resigned Ottawa, Ont.—Hugh D. Scully, in- vestment banker, Toronto, will be ap- pointed Dominion commissioner of ex- cise. He will succeed G. W. Taylor, who has resigned. Mr. Scully will bring to his new duties 2 wide experience in finance and business, For some time he was associated with the Canadian ‘Manu- facturers’ Association, occupying the position of assistant secretary in that organization.

Had Perilous Ride Meetettse, Wyo.—Unknown to Pilot ‘Bin Monday, Young Jerry O'Leary ‘grabbed the tail of Monday's ‘plane and rode aloft 1,000 feet, hanging on | grimly as the ship wavered with its | rear-end weight. When the pilot found out what was wrong he landed with- out injuring O'Leary.

R. A, Hoey, Minister of Education and acting , premier. Mr: Hoey also stated he} would recommend restoration of uni- versity funds. “The government will undoubtedly make restitution of the funds at some time in the future,” Mr. Hoey said, “but they cannot, of course, do’ so until after the matter has been thor-| oughly threshed out in the courts and! if, as understand it, it is the intention of | the government to appoint such a’ commission to fix the ultimate re- sponsibility for the losses.” “The matter is purely one of gov- ernment policy,” Mr. Hoey continued. “It 1s not a question for decision by any one. member of the cabinet, it must await the decision of the cabinet as a whole. The inquiry in connection with the university monies will have no bear-. ing on the similar position, of the Anglican church. This will be dealt with by church authorities. Rev. Can- on S. Gould; Toronto, general secre- tary of the missionary society of the Church of England in Canada, held a conference with His Grace Arch- bishop I, O. Stringer of the diocese of Rupert’s Land. He will also spend some time in the west discussing the western church crisis with heads of the missionary dioceses. ‘UNITED STATES AMBASSADOR TO CANADA RESIGNS It is with regret that Canadian MacNider, United States Ambassador Washington.

So he expressed himself in an ad- dress here recently before a gathering Lord | of city service clubs. “It Is a very fashionable amuse- ment nowadays to try to diagnose maladies from which the world is | suffering. Nearly all of us fancy our- | selves world doctors and like to think we could put things right if we were | allowed to adm‘nister our own partic- ular economic ‘pill, our own financial tonic,” said-his excellency. “Though ‘we may differ about the right cure, though we are by no means about “there is one general principle on ‘ which I think we are agreed—that is: One of the worst evils we have to- overcome is waste.” Men Return To Work C.P.R Shop Departments, Winnipeg, | Operating On Short Time “Winnipeg, Man-—-Nearly 1,200 em- | ployees of the Canadian Pacific Rail. way’'s locomotive department epee re- turned for 12 days’ work in ber, in addition to the 700 men oe ‘the car department who were taken 28 21 | again on September 1 to work for days, according to an So coca of the company. | All men will continue to be em- ployed on the basis of a 40-hour week | and no-extra help will be taken on, |.tte announcement added. i , The employees of the car depart-| ment worked 22 days in August, a/ considerable increase over the pre- vious month, made possible by the ne- cessity of preparing additional grain cars to take care of the large grain crop expected this year.

Passing of the order-in-council, sanctioning the plans removes any ob- stacle in the way of the Beauharnois concern fulfilling its contract with the Ontario Hydro commission on Octo- ber.1. According to the terms of this contract the ' company will make 35,000 horse-power available on that date for the use of the commission. This amount is to be increased gradually until a total of 250,000 | horse-power is placed at. the disposal of the Hydro authorities at the end of five years.

Mr. Bennett was quoted as having (said that the unemployed veterans would have their pensions increased to conform with the relief rate paid by municipalities. This, the depart- ally incorrect.. Not the pension rate but the relief rate would be raised, Veterans, receiving small pensions, were barred from receipt of relief and received less than other unemployed.- The attention of Premier Bennett was drawn to the situation by a resolu- | tion sent’ him: by the: Winnipeg Le- gion command. UNION CABINET PLAN MAY SOLVE B.C. DIFFICULTIES Victoria, ‘B.C.—Premier Tolmie of | British Columbia stepped out upon | the traditionally treacherous ‘union government” with the sup- porters of such a move confident, that ‘the footing has been made more’ se- cure by the frigid exigencies of the times, and with the confident march of the National Government in Eng-| land to assure them: The premier said he would shortly issue a statement which will include a clause favoring the establishment of ‘a union government composed of “men, who, regatdless of other consid- |. | erations, appear to be able to render the best service to the state,” and “along the lines of the National Gov- ernment in England,” as the best method of meeting present conditions. The announcement is the first break in the hazy atmosphere of | political rumor that has enveloped} the province for many months. Those | who have stood undecided as to what would happen and what they would do when it did happen, must soon de- clare themselves, and the electorate will presumably have an early chance to say whether they have done well. Though events may be expected to move rapidly, some little time will probably be necessary to clarify the situation. It is not thought that Premier Tolmie’s plans are clear-cut as yet. He is conferring with W. J. Bowser, K.C., former Conservative premier, who is regarded ‘as playing an important role in the situation. In-all probability the premler will go ahead with his plans regardless ice of | ordinary course of events the legisla- ture would be called together, the new 8 pI Pi . and an appeal made to the people on r Every possible combination of pub- lic men has been suggested as the likely members of the new govern- ment, but beyond the presumption that certain members of the present fi overnment will go out, and certain 4 eral will Gome im, forecast is MEAGRE RESULTS OBTAINED FROM ARMS PARLEY Newcastle, _England.—-Disappoint- ment and disgatisfaction is wide- | spread in England and other coun- tries over the meagre results of the first six months of effort at the world disarmament conference at Geneva, Arthur Henderson, Labor. leader, and | president of the disarmament confer- ence, told the. Trades Union Con- gress here. It was Mr. Henderson's first pub- lic announcement on disarmament since the adjournment of the Geneva conference. He said he frankly con- fessed the results were far from what | he had expected. A critical situation was created, he said, by Germany's demand for arms equality. The suggestion was made that Germany leave the conference, he said, because it would now be im- possible to achieve success there; but this course, he added, would mean | disaster. “It would lead certainly," he said, “to a renewal and intensification of >| the old ocmpetitive race for arma- ments. Although the results to date were not encouraging, he added, it is too early to declare the conference a failure. “I have refused to contem- plate failure and cannot do so now,” he said. “There has never been a conference with a greater public opin- jon behind it than this.” The Wheat “Wheat Preference Question Of Great Importance To Western Grain Growers Ottawa, Ont.—Will the five-cent preference on Canadian wheat enter- ing Britain apply only to wheat ex- ported through Canadian ports? This question is being actively canvassed at Ottawa and there is a good deal of variation in opinion between the different departments. ‘The question 1s of importance to western grain growers, since the pre- ference will probably come into opera- | tion early in October, before the new crop is really in the export field. The department of national rev- enue, which’ administers ‘the Cana- dian tariff, is inclined to think that feny Canadian wheat proceeding to ater through the United States is ond will win the preference. The trade and commerce department, however, takes a different view, be- lieving that the British Government may insist upon export through Cana- dian ports and in British bottoms. The trade and commerce .depart- ment points éut that wheat js im- ‘possible to identify and in s'milar circumstances, the Canadian customs service has imposed full tariff upon Canadian” goods, Lumber sent from British Columbia to Ontario. through ‘the United, States hasbeen taxed the maximum duties on the ground that nobody could tell if it was Canadian or U.S. lumber. Just how the wheat pieference will work will not be clear until the con- ference treaties are approved by the British Parliament, the wheat pre- ference enacted and the regulations governing it issued.
