THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1929 WILL GIVE HOOVER POWER TO CONTROL INDUSTRY FOR WAR Bill Being Prepared for Sub- mission to Washington Congress LESSONS FROM 1917 Right Over Production To Parallel Right Over in an Hour 'Washington, May 29.--Bills giving the president wide powers to draft industry in time of war will be ready for submission to Congress within 90 days, Secretary of War Good said last week. A bill to enable the president to conscript man power for army ser- vice in time of emergency was intro- duced in Congress earlier this month. It was severely criticised, cven by ad- ministration congressmen, because there was no provision for similar conscription of industry. As revealed Tuesday, the War Department wiil not seek enactment of the man-power conscription bill until the industrial legislation is ready for simultancous action, Justice demands Good's opinion. "It would be unjust," he said, "to pass a law to draft man power with- out provision for drafting the indus- trial group which will produce mate- rials the soldiers will use." Bernard M, Baruch and others as- sociated with the Wilson administra- tion in establishing national industry on a war-time footing, already have been consulted, Good said, Examina- tion of the problem will continue in the expectation that the regular ses- sion of Congress, convening in De- cember. Good said "will be able to act on both projects. If greater time is required to prepare legislation to draft industry, the bill to conscript man power will be held up," he said. The man power bill, as submitted to Congress, will become the pattern of the industrial legislation, Good be- fies. The bill does not, as has been suggested, empower the president ar- bitrarily to employ the tremendous authority by the bill. The terms of the proposed legislation expressly provide that it shall not be operative until after Congress has proclaimed existence of a national emergency. Upon such proclamation, which could be recommended to Congress by the this delay, in Sail Cunard! Book through The Robert Reford . "Limi Cor.

Internal or external disorders might create a situation which Congress would declare to be a national emer- gency. The attempted secession of the Southern states is typical of an internal disorder of this kind.

"I am very desirous of having the congress meet in British territory at its 'next session," he said, "So far it has been convened in a British country. For 1931 I have Ottawa in mind. As soon as I am ready to leave Montreal for Great Britain I shall make a definite announcement." Mr. Bell said his purpose in visit- ing Canada is to lay. the foundations for the proposed convention in Ot- tawa. He arrived in Toronto Thurs- day from the Pacific Coast. On Sat- urday night he leaves for Montreal, where he will spend a few days prior to sailing for Great Britain, 1 p d by R He declared that present interest in Canada's welfare should attract the international journalists who com- pose the congress. He was deeply impressed by the vast resources of Canada, he said, and proposed as a means to fill the great gaps of popu- lation that he observed on his jour- neys through agricultural sections an increase in immigration from the countries of Northern Europe. CANADA TO BECOME FUR TRADE CENTRE World-wide Campaign Dis- cussed by Toronto Guild Toronto, May 28.--Proposals to undertake an international cam-1 paign to establish Canada as the world centre of the fur farming, producing, manufacturing and sell- ing industries met with approval at the meeting last night of the newly-formed Toronto Retail Fur- riers' guild.

"Before the war, Russia wag the great fur-producing country of the world," observed, Mr, Crowder, "hut Russia has been slipping, fad- ing out of the picture, Canada has taken her place to a great extent, and, with a little impetus, can take a dominating position in the world's trade in furs. PELEE ISLAND IN JEOPARDY Flood Threatens To Inun- date 3,000 Acres of Farm Land Windsor, May 2' --Five thousand acres of land, half of Pelee Island, are in jeopardy 'today with only a slender sandbank between the land and the waves of Lake Erie, Ralph Harris, ex-reeve of the island telephoned to Windsor today that the situation was dangerous in the extreme, Fear that the fate which overtook three hundred farmers at Ericau two weeks ago may be their's today, is urging the Pelec Islanders to des- perate measures. The lake level, highest for nearly 100 years, threatens to top at any moment the tall sandbank which is the island's only protection. Within the bank, the land is 5/4 feet lower than the lake level.

CANADIAN EXODUS T0 U.S. FALLING OFF Report Also Shows Marked Increase in Immigration From States Ottawa, May 29.--There has been a decided falling off in the Canadian exodus to the. United States during the past year, while on the other hand there has been a marked in- crease in United States imnrigration into Canada.

For the eight months ¢ ding February of the present year ' nmigration into Canada from the United States was 18518, while for the corresponding period a year carlier it was 14961, oor 1 tos "Lost Aviators Located and Saved by Aeroplane The rescue of the crew of the aeroplane "Southern Cross" after they had crashed and been lost in the Australian bush for 13 days is regarded as one of the outstanding } episodes in the history of aviation.

Discuss- ing more recent developments of the Deisel powered coaches Sir Henry Thornton declared that they promise to be the greatest advance in raii transportation in three quarters of a century--and it is only a year or two in excess of a century that the suc- cess of Stephenson's "Rockett" cast the die in favor of rail transportation. Some time ago the automotive editor discussed the question of the future of steam railroad transporta- tion with Ludlow Clayden, the bril- liant chief technologist of the Sun Oil company, who although an Eng- lishman--*"in spite of all temptations" as friend Gilbert would say--is one of the best known automotive en- | gineers on the continent. He ws: for years technical editor of Motor. It is his belief that wherever distri- bution of cheap hydro power is fea- sible railroads will be electrified and that elsewhere Diesel electrics will | supplant steam locomotives. All of | which and much else is recalled by | the declaration of H. L. Horning of the Waukesha company, before 350 automotive engincers and railroad of- ficials a few days ago that "within five years the internal combustion en-~ gine would be the backbone of rail- road transportation. The simile is perhaps not a happy let alone an ele- gant one but the meaning is suffici- ently apparent. He added that his company is developing a rail car en- gine rated at 400 horsepower, with a unique crosshead piston that is ex- pected to be a sensation in the rail- road power world.
