» § i 'W.E. N. Sinclair Takes Ex- legislature + THE OSHAWA D lh AILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27,1929 BILL PASSED BY COM- MITTEE OF WHOLE "LEGISLATURE ception to Some Phases of the Bill Toronto, Mar, 27.--Premier Fergu- son hopes to bring the old age pens _sions scheme) into force before Nov. 1, but a great deal depends on the /pace at. which the county councils {orgatiize the local commissions which 'will receive the pension applications. So' the prime minister informed the when the bill was passed by the committee of the * iwhole house. Mr, Ferguson pointed out that the county councils would 'not sit until June. They would then appoint- their commissions. "Th2a there are the summer months when no one is doing anything much and 'it will be September before you know where you are," said the premier, "If we can bring the act into force he- fore the end of the fiscal year (Ter 31) we shall do so." This statement was made by the premier in answer to a question by . W. Mewhinney (Liberal, North : {IY who pleaded that the old eT 4 ¥ : ' ¢ i . i # | 3 * ps ¥ EA tat AT MARAE 4 SE people' be given something, if pos- sible, to start the winter on, Replies to Mr. Sinclair Replying to a question by W. E. N. Sinclair, Liberal leader, the pre- mier stated that regardless of wheth- er a pensioner made application 2a month or two late, he would draw his pension as of the date upon which the act came into force, provided he was 70 years of age and otherwise eligible upon that date. p Under the premier's piloting, the bill successfully negotiated the buffet- ing of the opposition and now stands for the more or less formal third reading. Virtually every Liberal mem- ber in the house expressed some form of disapproval of the bill. Election Talk Again Mr, Sinclair pointed out that au election would probably be engross- ing the government also and that the cabinet would be out on election work. "Yes," replied the premier, laugh- ing, "I also see that I am going to retire, myself, by the newspapers." Mr, Sinclair then declared that the proposal that the administration of the act locally be left in the hands of a board appointed by the county couneil looked as if it would be plac- ing a big task on someone, "For example, take my county," stated Mr. Sinclair. "It is 20 miles long and to have all the work done by one body of men looks like a big « contract." Premier Ferguson replied that the present board of five members in each county for the mothers' allow- ance worked successfully. Osh Rate Comp Mp. Sinclair declared that he did not think the counties 'were as un- tod ..animous in support of the bill as the premier would have it thought. "Wait until a year from this fall and the men on the back concessions get their tax bills, he declared. The premier had said the rate for Oshe awa would be about 16 cents on each $1,000 'assessment. Mr. Sinclair sta- ted : yet when he was home last week he and a group of friends had fig- ured that pensions would add 'about one-half a mill to the tax rate. Sure- ly, he declared, Ontario was big en- ough to bear the full 50 per cent. of the provincial share. Went Through Ice « Brockville.--~While walking over the ice of the St. Lawrence from his own residence to Shipman's, Mac McNeil, of Ivy Lea, broke through the ice and went into wat- er over his head. Fortunately Me- Neil came up in the same spot and was able to regain the ice by clutching it and pulling himself out. .

SAYS U.S. EXPORTS OF HIGH QUALITY Dr. Klein Says Europe Real izing Value of American Products 27.~~8uspicion of Viena, Mar, American foreign enterprise is de- creasing in Europe as the realiza- tion grows that America's exports are of a high, quality, Dr, Jultus Klein, director of the foreign com- merce bureau of the Unted States Department of Commerce, told tne United Press in an interview here. Dr. Klein came to Vienna for conferences with United States ui- taches and trade commissioners in Europe and near east in connec- tion with the development of American trade. 'Reports of the attaches holding a conference here show thut murope is rationalizing commerce and re- moving trade barrier structures," Dr, Klein said.' For instance, they are reducing the number of classifications in the tariff sched- ules and standardizing import and erport documents. "There is less suspicion of Am- erfcan enterprise as it is realized America's exports are of a high quality and that specialties raise the standard of life in Europe without killing home industries. "There is less politico-economic- al statesmanship and more straight consistent business thinking throughout Europe, That made possible the Paris economic confer- ence, which in turn influenced a further advance in the same direc- tion. "Europe is Amer .a's best cus- tomer and will' h-zome still better as standard of living rises. Am- erica's supremacy over some com- petitors is due to her adaptability, which is the outgrowth of experi- ence in building her own country.

RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR OF BANK OF ENGLAND London, Mar, 27. -- The Right Honorable Montague Norman was re-elected governor of the Bank of England yesterday. Sir Ernest Harvey was named deputy gover- nor, ith NEW PRECEDENT SET FOR PRINCE GEORGE SET Appointment to Foreign Of- London, March 27--With King George's 'approval for the appoint- ment of his third son, Prince rge, to a post in the Foreign Office, an interesting new precedent has been added to a reign already rich in pre- cedents. The Prince's resignation from the Navy was impelled primarily by reasons of health, but the depar- ture from the custom that only the Navy and the Army can provide car- eers for the royal princes may be regarded. as a significant pointer to the development of the official duties of the younger members of the royal family. J The naming of the first royal prince entering one of the peace 'depart- ments of the state is known to have. been the outcome of discussions re- garding the future career of Prince George which have been proceeding between court circles and the gov- ernment for some weeks. The ap- pointment was generally approved by public opinion here, but at the same time one questioning note was struck, The majority 'of the commentators welcome ' a breach with tradition which has hitherto confined the royal princes to war Services, pointing out that peace service in a life of diplo- macy provides training equiptment which may well prove of much great- er value should Prince George some day become, say, Governor-General of Canada. On the - other hand, the Liberal Manchester Guardian raises the point that "It is conceivable that the pre- sence of a member of the royal family within the Foreign Office might at some time become an embarrassment both to the ministers and to the crown and might involve the crown in just that sort of controversy, which all parties agree to avoid, and which the crown during the present reign has admirably made impossible." ' The Imperial Link The very nature of the objection made by the Liberal paper as a mat- ter of fact serves no less than ap- proval voiced in other quarters to underline the new conception of the royal family's role in the develop- ment of tne British family of na- : In line, also with this new con- ception is the challenge which it has just. been disclosed by Dublin is thrown down by the Free State cabi- net to the constitution of the Coun- cil of Sate named to carry on King George's duty during his illness. The Council--contrary to precedent--in- cludes two members, Premier Bald- win and Lord Chancellor Lord Hail- sham, of the present British Conger- vative administration. ' The Cosgrave Cabinet maintained --and its viewpoint is understood to be rniow accepted by the Baldwin Gov- ernment---that the Council exercising the King's functions should consist either of members of the Royal fam- ily alone or alternatively include the official representative of other parts of the British Empire as well as Bri- tain. It is regarded in 'political circles here as extremely probable that this incident directly inspired the idea that the Prince of Wales should be named as regent--the appointment of which would completely meet any similar case which might arise, as well as relieving the King of deli 2c constitutional duties 'if the general election should lead to any kind of political deadlock. y uke May Be Viceroy With the attainment by the self- governing Dominions of a new status as co-equal nations with Great Britain, as laid down in the last Im- perial conference, the importance of the crown in Imperial things--in which it is now the sole link--has steadily grown. Prince George's ap- pointment to the Foreign Office where he will be groomed in the science of Government follows the report from India that the King's second son, the Duke of York, may be named as the next Viceroy of India.

Aspirin is an absolute antidote for such ain. Keep it at the office. Have it handy in the home, 'Those subject to frequent or sudden headaches should carry Bayer Aspirin in the handy pocket-tin. Until you have used it for headaches, colds, neuralgia, etc., you've no idea how much Aspirin can help. It means quick complete relief to millions of men and women who use it every year. And it does not depress the heart. , tive of the King, there were many good reasons why a politician in close touch with the British Governmental views should be appointed. This does not apply nowadays when the Governors-General are in the strictest sense of the term Vice roys, and the King's representative in all the Overseas Dominions have been - completely . "regalized." The Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur of Connaught, and Earl of Athlone, are all members of the Royal family gvho have proved successful and popular Viceroys within recent years. As they get older it is fairly certain there will be requests for the King's sons to represent him overseas and Prince George's nomination to the Foreign Office may be regarded as pointing to an extension of the practice of ap- Pointing junior members of the Royal amily to act for the King in the Dominions.

Newton D. Baker, of Cleveland, former Secretary of War, headed a delegation of legal celebrities repre- senting Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi- gan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, who instituted injunction pro- ceedings to halt further diversion of water here. Included among the attorneys re- presenting Chicago were James M. Beck, former U. S. Solicitor-General ; Jamges Hamilton Lewis, former Sena- tor, and Walter E. Beebe, of Chi- cago. "Chicago's health depends on the outcome of the proceedings," was the city's defense keynote. The contest- ing lake states claim that since grant- ed permission by the War Depart- ment to divert water for sanitary pur- poses three years ago, relatively no progress has been made in building a sewage disposal system.

DETECTIVES FEAR THAT MISSING GIRL 18 VIGE RING VICTIM Meeting eeting Plans Ways and "Means cf Combing All Sections Montreal, March 27.--Fear that a vice ring in the City of Montreal may be holding Barbara Pitcher, Arts student, missing since last Thursday morning, is expressed by police offi- cers working on the case. = It is be- lieved she has been kidnapped and is being held within a range of a quarter of a mile of the university. A total of $5000 is offered as a reward for definite information lead- ing to the restoration of the missing student to her parents alive. . This was made known at a meeting of City detectives, McGill representatives and relatives of the missing girl Monday inthe Physics Building of McGill University. ; A Directing Hunt Dr. A. S. Eve, director of the build- ing and uncle of Miss Pitcher, is per- sonally directing the hunt for the girl now believed to. have been abducted. "It would seem impossible that a girl student could entirely disappear with- in a few yards of McGill gates," he exclaimed, as he outlined again the girl's disappearance to City detectives under Captain P, O'Donnell. He felt that' it was a matter of professional honor that the matter be cleared up for the good name of the university, Sergeant H. McCoy, of the City de- tectives, who has been working with other detectives for three days on the case, stated that he believed the girl was being held "within a radius of a few blocks of the McGill campus," either in an apartment or a private room. Possibly, she may be held in the belt along St. Antoine street, he said, but he further stated that this was unlikely and that she was not far away from the university grounds. Intensive Search Plans are now laid to give the mat- ter the widest publicity. Handbills are being prepared at Detective head- quarters, giving a full description of the girl and stating the $5,000 reward for her return alive, which will be distributed 'over all parts of the city, and posted in prominent places, such as hotels, taxi stands, street corners and public centres. Another set of handbills are being made to send out- side the city and arrangements have been completed to drop thousands of pamphlets by airplane telling about the missing student and proclaiming the reward. Police stations all over the City have been notified and given par- ticulars with a descfiption of the girl, All bridges leading off the is- land are being particularly watched.
