H, PRICE Accompanied by Mrs, Price, sail- ed from Quebec on the C.P.R. liner Empress of Australia on his first visit to Europe in ten years. a ems the influence of the present situ- ation at Washington and the nat- urally unfavorable reaction creat- ed throughout Canada. Just what the United States is going to do about the tariff is not yet known, but it is going to do more or less and, whatever it does, Canada is likely to be affected adversely. The proposals at Washington im- plement: one end of the Hoover plan for the relief of the mid-west American farmer. It is a double barrelled program that provides for a higher tariff on agriculture produce having, for its counter- part, the St. Lawrence Waterway with its supposed effect of reduc- ing the transportation costs of the same farmers who primarily seek relief in the tariff. : One question is wholly within the competence of the United States. Its right to frame what- ever sort of a tariff it wishes is unassailed. The second part of the program, however--the St, Law- rence Waterway--can be embark- ed upon only with Canadian co- operation. Even if the present Government were disposed to give this co-operation, the magnitude of the project could be invoked as a reason for cautious committ- ments, but when there is added the hostility developed by the American tariff proposals, fhe out. look becomes more than ever un- favorable. If the American farm- ers insist upon shutting Canadian produce out of their markets it will be urged that they are not tae. tically placed to ask Canadian co- operation in the so-called seaway plan--the second item of their re- lief 'scheme, There is, of course, the alterna- tive of an all Canadian waterway though complications are seen to be inherent in it apart from the increased cost and the necessity of it being shouldered alone by Can- ada. The advisory council consid- ered that only Jjoipt development. of the international stretch was feasible when the channel so re- peatedly zig zags across the Inter- national boundary. There will be further confer- ences but what engineers may agree upon will not remove the responsibility of the . Government and of Parliament. Neither has ever come out with a definite de- claration and the present outlook is perhaps less hopeful than ever. Another round table conference, scheduled for the autumn or fall, will be between the Dominion and ments--perhaps all the Provincial Governments--oOver the ownership It will be recall- ed that the reference of the ques- tion to the Supreme Court was quite abortive. To the extent 'that they answered the abstract questions, the findings were large- ly favorable to the provincial con- tention but upon many of the vi. tal points raised the learned judges found themselves unable to pronounce unless something more concrete was put before them. As there was nothing in partic- ular to carry to appeal there will be no appeal. Mutual agreement, however, can clean up an obscure situation which a process of yuas: litigation has failed" to do. This is what will be sought and the way out seems simplified by the Dominion Government's concession that the powers on. navigable wa- terways belong to the provinces, subject to the paramount authority of the Dominion in respect of navi- gation. An undetermined point is as to the ownership of power incident- ally created by works of the Do- minion Government for the im- provement of navigation. Its right to construct such works {is not questioned but whether the sur- plug power belongs to them or to the provinces or whether the lat- ter should be compensated is in HBT HHH HEROIC SATERS the Ontario and Quebec Govern-|- FAIL TO SAVE DROWNING BOY Woman Succeeds in Saving : Life of Young Girl Chatham, July 10--Tumbling off a low oak ater almost into the chan- nel of the River Thames, Bernard Brown, the 4-year-old son of Mr and Mrs. Leslie Brown of this city, lost his life:by drowning between 8 and 9 o'clock last night. The little boy, with his sister Betty and a playmate, mings, was playing on the d the rear of the residence Chaplin, ex-M.P., when th occurred. The exact mand accident is unknown tonight. "Eithe: the little Brown boy and his sister fell in. together or the boy slipped into the water, and his sister, who is only S, jumped or was dragged in when she tried to save him. Both children went down and disappeared. The Cummings lad, who is only 5 years of age, ran up the bank to the home of W. E. Rispin, situated near the spot. Miss Margaret Ris- pin and her sister, Mrs. Jack Tem- pleton, noticed the child was crying and inquired the cause. He told them Betty Brown was in the river. They hurried to the breakwater, carrying the Cummings lad with them. He pointed out the spot where the little girl had disappeared, and Miss Rispin, who had discarded her coat and shoes on the way down to the bank, immediately jumped into the stream. She managed to find the little girl on the first dive and bring her to the surface. . ; She was swimming with the child to the breakwater when she began to weaken. Miss Rispin is an ex- pert swimmer, however, and retained her hold on the child. Mrs. Temple- ton, also a strong swimmer, jumped into the channel and 'assisted in bringing the child to safety. The little 'girl was unconscious. Pre- liminary resuscitation was adminis- tered by Mrs. Templeton, and the child was carried to the Rispin home, where Dr. Jean Duncan succeeded in restoring consciousness. As little Betty came to her senses she cried out piteoysly, "Get Bernard," leading to the belief that she had fallen in while trying to save her brother.

Want of gasoline forced them down today as night was falling over the northern Spanish coast, not far from the spot where their French comrades of the yellow Bird were obliged to land. : illiams and Yancey said they had realized a few hours after leav- ing Old Orchard that they could not reach Rome. ; During their flight since they lef Pld Orchard 1 at 7.49 am.

For only two hours were we free of the fog and able to see: the ocean," they said tonight. "We didn't sight any ships. Near Cape Ortegal we saw land for the first time, and were very glad. But we continued the flight, wishing to go as far as our gasoline would take us." Williams and Yancey explained that they had been well prepared for the flight, and it was not physical fatigue which prevented them from reaching Rome. . They said that during the flight they ate only four bars of chocolate and drank coffee out of a vacuum bottle. They were greatly pleased with the hospitality shown them at their landing.- ¢ . The Pathfinder appeared over San- tander, after flying low over Comil- las, just as dark. set in, apparently looking 'for a suitable landing place. Williams "and Yancey waved hand- kercheifs to show they wanted to land, and the peasants started a huge benfire to guide them.
