At- tempts were made to sell it along the New England coast but even at a sacrifice, this market could not be had. iy About this time iron ore was dis- 'covered - in large quantities on a small island, Conception Bay, New- foundland, and blast furnaces were developed which made possible the smelting of the ore. The promoters of the Dominion Coal Company con- ceived a plan of building steel works in Cape Breton which would make use of this slack coal which hitherto had been a drug on the market. This was not the first at- tempt to wake iron in Nova Scotia, as the Nova Scotia Steel Company and its predecessors' had been carrying on on a small scale prior to this, but it was about this time that both the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company and the Dominion Iron and Steel Company commenc- ed operations on a large scale and this manufacture was made pos- sible by the fact that coal of a kind which did not find a ready market elsewhere could be used for this purpose.

GERMAN POLICY IN WAR IS DISCUSSED Press Seizes on Celebration Tirpitz Anniversary to Start Dispute Berlin, March 23.--The German press: seized upon the celebration of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz' 80th birthday to start a lively dispute Wednesday on the merits of the Ger- man naval policy before and during the World War, Von Tirpitz, who reviewed a par- ade and received distinguished visit- ors at Feldafing, near Munich, Tues- day, was reconciled with the former German Kaiser for the first time since their heated controversy on naval warfare during the war. He was congratulated in "warm and friendly terms" by, the former Kaiser, President Paul von Hindenburg, the former Crown Prince and others. The former Kaiser's message was not made public. The Berlin newspapers reviewed the German naval policy of war time, Nationalist party organs ; expressing unreserved praise for the work of Von Tripitz. Declaring that his pol- icy of ruthless sea fighting was justi- fied, the Kreuz Zeitung concluded a 'long article with the claim that "the halo of Trafalgar faded through Ger- man achievements in the Battle of Jutland," which would have been im- possible without the work of Von Tirpitz." Nationalist newspapers also unan- imously denied that failure of the so- called, Haldane conference of 1912 was due 'to Von Tirpitz' intervention claims.' The newspaper® said Von Tirpitz' failure was due solely to Bri- |. tain's insistence on maintaining a | construction quota of "two to one" in opposition to the "16 to 10" ratio |. for naval building which Von Tirpitz was said to have been ready to ac- cept.

Jewish people are painting a prosperous Palestine," declared Col. Frederick H. Kisch, before the Em- pire Club here Tuesday. : Col. Kisch served with. the Indian army and British troops during the Great War, He is now head of a committee of three which acts as the advisory body to the British Govern- ment and administers Jewish affairs in Palestine. "The Jewish people are grateful to Great Britain for the administration that has made possible rehabilitation of Palestine," he declafed, "and I do not believe any other power cotild have cleared away the corruption of Turkish regime in so short a time, The straightforwardness characteris- tic of the Empire largely explains the amicable relations that exist to- day," he said. 5 The importance of the British man- date from the Imperial point of view lies in the location of Palestine, Col. Kisch believed. Not only is it the point where three continents meet, but it controls the approach from the East to the Suez canal. Air routes from Great Britain to India, Africa and Persia are planned to cross it. Speaking of the strong flow of im- migration into Palestine, Col. Kisch said that about half of the newcomers turned to agricultural pursuits and were unusually successful under the modern development. The Jews have also turned attention to developing other industries and overcoming the handicap of lack of fuel by develop- ing electric power from the Jordan river.

Every package guaranteed, required years of experi: for Northern Ontario development; to amend the Niagara Parks Act, : Frauds Prevention Hon. W. H. Price, Attorney-Gen- eral, in the 'Provincial Legislature Tuesday afternoon, stated that it was imperative that the public be protect- ed in all stock transacions. For this reason he introduced, for first reading, a bill to amend the "Se- curity Frauds Prevention Act." The main amendments of the bill deal with the audit of the books of firms by the stock exchanges of which firms are members. The bill, Mr. Price informed the House, was: introduced at the request of the two Toronto stock exchanges, each of which has a membership of approxi- mately 60. "It is only proper that we stand behind these stock exchanges, and so give them power to audit the books of the members. Heretofore they have not had that latitude," hs said, The amendment states that every ¢ | broker's auditor shall at least twice a business and affairs of each coms pany of person allotted to him, such: audit to be made at irregular inter- year make a complete audit of. the vals, but no warning or notice shall in any way be given of any forth- coming audit. The executive committee of a stock exchange may at any time require any broker's auditor upon the panel of accountants of the exchange 'to make any general or special audit, or report upon the whole or any aspect of the business or affairs of any per- son or company who is or has been a member of or in any way represented upon the exchange.
