Too long, he contended, the Prarie Provinces had smarted under the sting of injustice. "li we are so un- concerned to the necessities of our own future and refuse to move in the matter, we will continue to remain the despoiled children of confedera- tion," he declared. In a resolution which he presented to the delegatds, the organized farm- ers of the provinge were urged to press for immediate return of all un- alienated lands and natural resources, with an accounting by the Dominion Government for all lands and re- sources already alicnated. The reso- lution also recommended that the matter of the provinces' inherent right to these lands be submitted to the judicial committee of the Privy Council without delay. At the suggestion of G.

WEAPON SED BY SLAYER IS FOUND Winnipeg Police Find Small Axe Smeared With Blood Winnipeg, March §.--Ong of the weapons used to kill Mrs. Lottie Ad- ams, 30-year-old St. Viral housewife. whose hody was found in a snow-filled ditch near her home on Monday, has been discovered by provincial police officers. After an intense search of snow-covered woods, in the wyicinity of where the body was found, the of- ficers have umearthed a small axe smeared with blood and hair. Police are certain it was the weapon used by the killer in battering the head of Mrs. Adams. Other articles belonging to the dead contingyed to woman also were fou On Friday police search the vicinity in hope of finding the .32 calibre revolver used by the slayer. Mrs. Adams was shot through the head as well as being cut and slashed by an axe. Albert V. Westgate, charged with the murder, is held in the provincial jail.

Any exodus - of university graduates to the United States, he attributed to the lack of higher institutions of learning in the Dominion, "I am impatient with those who say we cannot afford to pay for it.
