OUTLINES CANADA'S RESPONSIBILITY ON COUNCIL OF LEAGUE Must Think in International Terms, Says Sir Her- bert Ames HONOR TO DOMINION Former League Official at Young Men's Canadian Club Dinner Montreal, Apr, 11.--Canada, in assuming her position on the Coun- cil of the League of Nations, has shouldered a responsibility which, extending beyond national and Em- pire ties, carries an international character, Sir Herbert B. Ames, for seven years treasurer of the League of Nations, and identified with it isnce its inception, told members of the Young Men's Cana- dian Club at the dinner and an- nual meeting in the Queen's Hotel. Sir Herbert, who characterized himself as 'the first international treasurer the world has ever known" emphasized that Canada has, as her constituents, the 64 other nations that are members of the League, and in acting on the Council she must think in terms of the interests of these constituents who elected her to the Council, He indicated that since the United States is not a member world body, Canada must be the spokesman for North America, and briefly sketched the history of Can- ada's eléction to the important positio nas part of her autonomous position within the Empire. "I am speaking tonight of a new honor that has come to Canada," Sir Herbert told his audience, "In 1926 the Canadian delegation hud been asked, at the League assem- bly, whether it would stand tor election on the Council, tne deie- gates not having any instructions rather reluctantly retused candida- ture. On returning the Prime Min- ister, Right Hon, W. L, Mackenzie King was interviewed and it was pointed out to him that Canada could not escape tne question much longer, and that it woud be only fair to the otner delegations if Canada made up its mind, Canada Elected "The Government gave the mat- ter its earnest consideration, bout when the delegates leit six montus ago to attend the assembly no deti- nite answer was as yet available. Senator Raoul Dandurand on ar- riving at Geneva, however, found a cable awaiting him from Premier King stating that if conditions were favorable he might propose Canada's candidature, "Subsequently Senator Dandur- and consulted the British delega- tion, secured their unanimous cou- sent in the matter, and wrote the other delegations a brief and cour- teous letter asking that they per- mit the name of Canada to be pro- posed, In pleasing contrast to so g.c of the episodes which had marked the candidacies of some of the other nations on uther occasions, there was no canvassing of any de- scriptio, Canada's name was pro- posed and she was elected. On the Council there arc five permanent members, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. The other nine stand for election in groups of three every three years. The retiring nations were Czecho- Slovakia, Belgium and Salvador. Cuba, Finland and Canada succeed- ed to their positions, Canada re- ceived spontaneous support, secur- BRE's a silverware dice for ac S Am, Fliches with modesty} Only $17.50*--about Aslf what you had © amous mame--Wm.

Autonomous State Canada's eelction signifies the acceptance of her autonomous state by the world, Sir Herbert said. Canadian stands in the League as any other of the 55 members, "We have so to speak," Sir Herbert said, "established among the na- tions of the world our position, simply by presenting ther. with an accomplished fact." This fact lay in the natural steps which have marked the recognition of Canada's autonomy. During the war Canada sent across a separaie military unit, with a minister in London to atted to Dominion mat- ters there, The Canadian troops were always under the direct con- trol, through him, of the Canadian parliament. Then had come the Im- pperial War Cabinet where Canada took her position with the other Dominions, The Imperial Confer- ence of 1917 further defined the matter in a resolution in which it was explicitly set forth that Imper- ial relationships should be based on the ufll recogntion of the Domiin- jons as autonomous parts of an Im- perial Commonwealth, At the Peace Conoference Canada took her place and was one of the signatories, and: on October 10, 1919 the Canadian Parliament ratified the treaties. At that time Sir Robert Borden se- cured the signatures of Wilson, Clemenceau and Lloyd George, to the efefet that Canada was fully entitled to a eeat on the Council of the League, so that the matter was very definite from the outset, Functions of Council Among the functions of the Council which Sir Herbert enumer- ated were that it cam act in many capacities, being the most import ant international body today and having behind it enormous power and public opinion, It supervises mandated areas; it guarantees the rights of minorities in Burope, some 30,000,000 of population peing involved, It administers to several areas, among them the Saar valley and Danzig, and acts as an arbiter; it promotes disarmament, and finally is a general executive body on international questions, In its early years it dealt with 26 dit- ferent disputes. RELIGION AND STATE PARTED IN TURKEY Washington, April 11--Notifi- cation that the Turkish National Assembly, hy unanimous vote, has eliminated references to the gtate's relation to religion from the Turkish Constitution, was re- ceived hy the State Department today from Joseph C. Grew, the American Ambassador at Angora, and was pronounced by Govern- ment officials here one of 'the most important steps taken in the Near East: for the past 25 years." Looked upon as the comple- tion of a movement for seculariz- ation of the Turkish Government begun within the past few years, it was declared by officials to be vextraordinarily damaging to the school of writers and thinkers who say the East never changes." TOUCH THE PERSONAL (From the Toronto Globe) Commenting upon a recent edl- orial in The Globe on the preval- fons of juvenile crime in Ontarin, The Stratford Beacon-Herald makes some pertinent observations onthe necessity for some one main- taining personal contaet with hoys who are inclined to go astray if improvement in the moral charac- ter of the young people is in be effected. The Stratford paper quotes the case of a lawyer who brought about a remarkable charge in a lad through the personal in- terest he took in the boy. The point made by The Beacon Herald needs to be emphasized, The personal interest of a respon. sible adult in a lad will do more to keep the later in the right path 'than anything else that humanly speaking has yet been devised, Many a boy has taken the wrong turning and gone astray for the simple reason that there was po one to whom he could turn for ad- vice, sympathy and help at a criti- cal moment, no one whom ha eonld trust and .who, he felt, had a rea) heartfelt interest in his welfare. The hearts of the young are plas- tic and easily moulded. Unfor- tunately the formative and mould- ing influences to which they are often subjected are of the wrong kind. It was to provide the right sort of personal contact that the Big Brother Movement was started some years ago, and which has met with excellent success. There is abundant scope for the 'exten- sion of the idea throughout the smaller towns of the Province. Every town has its boys and its girls growinz to manhood ard wo- manhood, who need the steadying hand of some adult on their should- er at time and a friendly word of admonition and counsel in their ears. It is the personal touch of the older person that develops a sense of personal responsibility to do what js right in the youth. Im the case of young people particu- larly it is true that "more evil is wrought by want of thought than is by want of heart." It is the personal interest of a man in the growing boy that cam often check the wayward impulse, and guide the young steps aright. This is badly needed today. REPORT SMALLPOX.

But there is. Through his mother, born Coun- tess Margaret Hoyos, Prince Bis- marck is the great-grandson of the Englishman Whitehead, who in- vented the torpedo. And here is the romance of long ago. Our Government, or Admiralty --or whatever department Is re- sponsible for these things--turn- ed down Whitehead's invention. Austria was not go blind, so lacking in vision. Consequently a factory for the making of Whitehead tor- pedoes was established at Fiume on the Adriatic under Whitehead's management. One day his daueh- ter, sitting at an open window, saw a procession of Austrian sail- ors, headed hy an officer with a red beard, pass along. the street, *I shall marry that man," she said, And she did; because Iter they met and fell in love with one an- other. He was Count Frederick Hoyos. In those times {f an Austrian nobleman married a wife who was not nobly born she had no place or standing in Austrian society. Neither she, nor his children could go to Court, This didn't trouble the young couple in the least. Count Frederick--later he becam. Count Hoyos and the head of his family--left the Austrian navy and became his father-in-law's right- hand man in the torpedo factory at Fiume. Countess Hoyos was a most charming and clever woman. They divided their year between Fiume and England. In England they had delightful week end parties at Paddockhurst in Sussex, which old Mr. Whitehead built, and which now belongs to Annie Viscountess Cowdray, who, with the late Lord Cowdray, carried on the tradition of hospitality created by Countess Hoyos, I know this fis all what the young people call "dreadfully pre- war," but I'm sure there must be many of you who remember the Hoyos parties in London and the week ends at Paddockhurst. And it was all done out of the torpedoes at which our Government had turned up jts nose! There were, I think, four daugh- ters of the marriage. At any rate, the eldest, Countess Margaret, married Count Herbert Bismarck, that aggressive, brow-beating only son of the man of "Blood and Iron" who created the Germany which the ex-Kaiser turned upside down, and, in consequence, Fur- ope also. The present Prince Bis- marek was only seven when his father, the erstwhile Count Her- bert died. Now he is thirty-one. During the war the Whitehead fac- tory at Fiume, which went to Coun- tess Hoyos from her father, and from her to her elder son, made those leviathan guns which were used on both the Russian and French fronts opposed to the Ger- mans--don't you remember, brought up on specially construet- ed railway lines? The past is past. TI only men- tion this to show the governemntal stupidity in turning down White- head's invention of the torpedo. IS HE A LAWYER?

MANIAC CAUGHT | IS THE BELIEF Man Who Terrorized Stur- geon Falls Thought to Be in Toils Sudbury, April 11.--Believed by police to be the man who has thrown the town of Sturgeon Falls into a state of frenzy by entering homes and attacking women, a Russian, giving his name as Uht Lukentz, was arrested today and is being held at Sudbury for ex- amination. The description of the marauder tallies with that of the suspect, who acts as if he were demented, Lukentz was taken into custody on train No. 1 by District Inspector G. McVeigh, of the C.P.R. Investi- gation Department, when it arrived in Sudbury at 12.20 p.m, The man was noticed climbing aboard the train as it stopped at Sturgeon Falls for water, He had no ticket and his actions in the smoking com- partment excited the attention of a member of the train crew, In- spector McVeigh, who was among the passengers, was notified, While able to write his own name, Lukentz apparently cannot understand a word of English, and whe one interpreter was secured, communicated only a few facts relative to his movements, He gave the name of a man, whom he thought, was better acquainted with his particular Russian dialect, and could interpret for him, The prisoner stated that he is a married man, and is said to have denied molesting women in Stur- geon Falls, Requested to produce his passport papers, Lukentz claim- ed that he had lost them. In con- versation with Inspector McVeigh over long distance telephone, Chief Cusson of Sturgeon Falls, stated that the former's description com- pared with particulars which had been given to him, With more reports of the mad- inan's movements last evening, Sturgeon Falls remained on the qui vive, and the situation provided sev- eral embarrassing moments for law-abiding citizens, who were paying social calls, One incident which demonstrates the pitch of hervous tension, was that in which a woman, hearing a knock at her door, rushed to the telephone to notify the police that the maraud- er was outside, While she was doing so, the unknown caller was clamoring impatiently for admit- tance, and turned out .o he anothey woman, who, also, helieving that the maniac was lurking near her home, had come to us» her neigh- hor's telephone to call for help, DRAWBACK HITS DUSTRY PAPER IN. (From the Monetary Times) The drawback of 80 per cent of the duty on paper for magazines or periodicals produced in Canada proposed in the budget brought down in the House of Commons hy Hon, J, A. Robb is likely to have a very serious effect on those com- panies whose main product is hook paper of the. various grades, The existing duty is 25 per cent. and the drawback proposed in the bud- get amounts to 80 per cent, of that, leaving a net traiff protection for the paper manufacturers of five per cent, which it is claimed is not at all sufficient, The clause of the budget dealing with the matter is as follows: 'Newsprint paper, ma- chine finished book grades of pa- per, not coated, coated or super- calendered book grades of paper, when imported under tariff items 197, 197a, or 198a ., .. When used exclusively in the production in Canada of magazines or periodi- cals, including farm journals, print- ed, published and issued at regular intervals, and enjoying second- class postal privileges, containing critical, information and descriptive articles on various subjects, cur- rent topics, political and other news or reviews, critieism or other informative matter or fiction, be- ing bound, wire stitched or other- wise fastened together, will be subject to a drawback of 80 per cent of the duty, The change is a radical one and comes hard on an industry which has not yet become established in the way that the mewsprint pro- ducers have. The companies mak- ing book paper have to meet very keen competition from United States' mills. These mills have a Jarge market at their door and ow- ing to mass production can under- sell the Canadian product. The J, , Prince St. 41% PAGE F.:.L Canadian market for the finer grades of paper is limited, further difficulty is to be found in the fact that the output of the | Canadian mills has to be diversi- | fied according to the numerous | grades required by the various. publishers, This all adds to the expense, It is understood that the Canadian mills during the nego- tiations with the tariff board last year took the position that if the grades of paper required could be substantially reduced in number they would be able ao compete on more even terms with the United States' mills as far as price is con- cerned. This suggestion, however, it was found could not be carried into actual practice. It is well known that the vari- ous publishing housés jin Canada| were not upanimous in asking for | a reduction in the tariff, and in| fact those houses, including the | Monetary Times, which are mem- bers of the Canadian Business Pub; lishers'" Association, presented ing for such a reduction. In their brief they took the ground that the publishers of maga- zines were not unduly hanpdicap- ped by the existing duties as com- pared with other industries, but on the other hand already enjoyed substantial special consideration. It was also pointed out that the publishing industry, directly or in- directly, derives the greater part of its substance and support from Canadian industries which owe APARTMENTS For Rent Oshawa"s Finest Apartment House, Simcoe St. North.
