PRIZE-WINNERS IN THE BABY SHOW AT OSHAWA FAIR -- AS SPONSORS « T0 DEVELOP Far-Reaching Plan to Include States Both Within and Without the League of Nations Discussed at Geneva CONFERENCE OF NATIONS PLANNED Movement Believed to be First Step. Towards Real ized Dream of "United States of Europe" (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) | Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 13.-- Great Britain and France today took a joint step to bring about a world conference on the lowering of tariff barriers, in the spirit of tha comments by European state- men while discussing last. week Premier Briand's project for a "United Stateg of Europe." The delegations of the two na- tions recommended in the economic committee of the' League of Na- tions that negotiations be begun between members of the league and non-members as well top romote u meeting at the earliest possible date. The purpose of the meeting would be to frame '"'the first collec- tive agreement for diminishing hindrances to trade and developing and facilitating economic relations by all practicable means." The resolution of Britain and France also called on the States of the world not to increase their pro- tective tariffs above the present level for a period of two years or to impose new protective duties or to create new impediments to trade during this period. Pending the. convening of the world conference on economic ques tions, the other nations were thus requested, to hold down their tar- itfs. It is proposed to hold a confer- ence not only of technical experts but of political representatives of governments. 0. Loucheur, of France, present- ed the proposal and was strongly supported by Dr. Hugh Dalton, member of the British Labor gov- ernment. In the words of the French spokesman the conference might lead the nations eventually to the signing of a convention giv- ing a new basis for the circulation of goods not only in Europe but throughout the world. Dalton is particularly interested in reorganization of the coal in- dustry whose present state he ae- scribed as 'a supreme example of economic anarchy." Associating himself with the viewpoint of the distressed British miners, he de- clared the league must show itself to be a great international work- shop and not merely a remote re- treat for rhetoricians. . The consensus of the committee supported the proposal for the two or three-year tariff truce. States both within and outside the League of Nations are requested by the Anglo-French resolution to indi- cate to the secretary-general of.the league before Nov. 30. whether they are prepared to participate in the preliminary conference of dele- gates preparatory to tariff regula- tion. \ FELL FROM RUMBLE SEAT Thamesville, Sept. 12.--Gerald Ouellette, aged 13, son of Orvila Ouellette of 2660 East Fort Street, Detroit, was fatally ifjured two miles east of here shortly before noon today when he accidentally fell out of a rumble seat of a car BRITAIN AND FRANCE ACT OF MOVEMENT WORLD TRADE RECEPTION AT THE ARMORIES It was announced late this afternoon that the reception to the General Motors Lacrosas team wil be held at the arm- ories, po Oshawa Fair baby show proved to be one of the best in years and judg- es had a difficult task in selecting winners from the large number of smiling babies entered in competi- tion.

F. B. Livesay, General Manager of the Canadian Press) Toronto, Sept. 13.--Rains last night and today are pretty general over Old Ontario. and appear to have definitely broken what will go down in history as the great drought of 1929. But a week's solid precipitation is required to restore the parched lands and much of the crop is beyond repair. What the rain will do is to help farmers get on with their fall work and get the land into shape for next spring's seeding. For much acre- age intended for fall seeding to winter wheat must now go over to spring, because it wag impossible to get the seed into the ground ex- cept on favorably situated land that had been well summer fallowed. A drive yesterday athwart old Ontario, from Hamilton through Guelph to Owen Sound, revealed a distressing. picture. Much of the fodder crop ig hardly worth the cut- ting and straw is everywhere short, There will be a great shortage of feed this winter and the Ontario farmer with' a bunch of stock or a dairy herd will have to dig deep in his pockets before the spring pas- tures are in shape for running cat- tle. \ What plowing that has been done on heavy clay lands has been hy tractor only, the soil turning up in hard baked lumps that no am- ount of cultivation could get ready for a seed bed without rai. Ana there has been no rain since July. The resources of Ontario are so diversified, however, and agricui- ture is so firmly esStablishea tnat even so unusual a visitation as this great drought will not have the dis- '| tressing effects were her eggs all in one basket. But rain, and lots of it, is badly needed, not only to fin- ish the crop, but to fill dry wells 'and parched water courses.
