The opinion is expressed locally, however, that if Capt, Maxwell had landed at Lillabelle Lake at Cochrane, he would not have encountered any trouble, Pilot Plijske, of the Gen- eral Airways, Limited, came up from Noranda, Que,, yesterday to take a passenger from Cochrane to Noranda. Pliske landed at Lillabelle Lake at 2 p.m, and took off with his passenger an hour later without difficulty, RAILWAY BILS ARE APPROVED BY COMMITTEE C.N.R. and C, P. R.

CHURCHILL SEEKING T0 FIND REFUGE Goes to Riviera to Escape from Delegations Seeking Tax Relief (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) London, Mar, 12. -- To gain some re-invigoration before preparing the budget and also doubtless with the intention of escaping personal encounters with deputationg from innumerable interests seeking re- lief from taxation in the new budg- et, Rt, Hon. Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has gone to the Riviera. rrobably, however, any of these deputations would have received from the chan- cellor the same definite negative as he gave the liquor interests earl- fer this month. On that oceasion Mr. Churchill declared the general strike of 1926 and the stoppage of coal production cost the Exchequer approximately $400,000,000° and instead of being able te consider a remission of taxation, the Govern- ment was having a hard struggle to avoid imposing numerous in- creases.

Few towns or cities of like size in Ontario, or Eastern Can- ada for that matter, have shown the remarkable growth and development of Oshawa. Five years ago last Friday it emerged from its swaddling clothes and took its place among the cities of the Dominion. The anniversary has been made the occasion of a special issue of the Daily Times, which contains an exeellent outline of the city's growth and a splendid review of 'the progress it has made.

It has digo a progressive and dart people, thoroughly alive to the opportunities that are theirs and with the eommunity spirit. Given all these things, no one can prediet what the Oshawa of the future may be. (From The Toronto Globe) Recen RS DENIED BY G.M.C. OFFICIAL REPARATIONS BANK PROBLEMS STIL BEING DISCUSSED SCOPE OF PROPOSED INSTITUTION MAY BE ENLARGED Settlement Would Be Easy if Debts to U. S. Were Not Payalb'e (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) Paris, Mar, 12, -- The Repara- tions experts were engaged today in working out some of the purely banking aspects or the proposed new international reparations bank. The experts' committee is unanimous in its belief, it is sald, that it will be necessary to enlarge the scope of the projected institu- tion so that it will be not merely a reparations office but capable of playing a much more extended role, filling a long-felt want in interna- tional financial practice, There is less unanimity however, as to how this is to be auuw sua the experts are applying themselves to producing a scheme which will reconcile their divergen. views unw answer as far as possible all the objections which may be raised, A German viewpoint in this re- gard is now known to be that the question is how much German: shall pay, not how much do the other countries have to pay their creditors. As expressed quite outside the committee room fit is sald that if it were not for debts owed by Great Britain, France, Italy and Belgium, to the United States, an agreement coulda be reached without difficulty because Germany's capacity to pay would be fully equal to the cost of recoil struction of the devastated regions and to pensions, N.Y.

A. Brows. vice-president and general manager of the company this morning made a statement to The Times in which he gave a full explanation of the points in the mat» ter which caused the rumors. Mr, Brown was emphatic to his declara- tion that there was no disaffection of any consequence among the employ- ees, and that work was going on as usual, with all departments function- ing well. The claims which had been made by a small group of workers, to the effect that German workers were being brought in to replace Canadians was also emphatically de- med, and Mr. rn asserted that it was the policy of the company to secure all the "workers possible in this country, Only Few Involved The only men involved in the trouble at the local plant are about twenty workers in the dic making department, These men, said Mr, Brown, had walked out of the plant in sympathy with an assistant fore- man who had sight promotion, but who was not felt to be fully qualified for the foremanship "of the group. The position he has sought was given to a man who was fully quali fied, but who happened to be a Dane, and this gave rise to the claim made by the twenty men who walked out that foreigners were replacing Cana- dian workman, The trouble, how- ever, is confined to this small group of men, who have been removed from the General Motors list of employees since last Wednesday.
