Ferguson Declares Bilingual Policy Has Widened Scope of English Language in Canada Thomas Green Canadian Press Staff Writer) Alliston, Sept, 24.--Voicing strenuous approval of the course of his government in the abolition of Regulation 17, Premier G. How- ard Ferguson addressed a mass meeting in the fair grounds here yesterday. '"We have never before had the. co-operation of the French people in the learning. of the English language which we now have," the prime minister stated. There was now more elasticity in the educa- tional policy of the provincial de partment following the report of the Merchant commission. French teachers were undergoing training in English at the Ottawa normal schools, and at the recent Ontario entrance examinations, he proceed- ed. 180 students ' from French schools had passed the English ex-| aminationg out of a total of 220 who had presented themselves, "If we can continue to bring about that conditions' Premies Ferguson continued, "and dissemi- nate the English language so that they will be able to read the Eng- lish papers and English literature and get an understanding of our spirit and our point of view then I think we are doing a great work not only in maintaining the Eng- lish language but 'n spreading the spirit of the Anglo Saxon so dear to us." | English was the only official langauge in Ofitario, Premier Fer- guson stated. "This is no bilingual province," he exclaimed. Tracing the whole history of the bi-lingual issue, the prime minjs- ter said that out of 700,000 school children in the province only 28,000, 'or a meagre four per cent" were French. Some people, he continued, would think that this language question is a new issue. But, he recalled that on the occa- sion when Germany took over Alsace-Lorraine m France the Germans had mad® a fruitless ef- fort to force the German language on these people. "This failed," he went on, 'and when Alsace-Lor- raine again became part of France after hte Great War it was found that these citizens had maintained their mother tqngue, "In Wales today," he continued, "under the aegis of the Union Jack the Welsh language was being taught."

MacDonald's Trip to America Is Considered Largely a Matter of Form in London PLANE LEAVES ON FLIGHT TO HALIFAX Two Airmen Expect to Cover 1,000 Miles in 11 Hours (By Canadian Press) Toronto, Sept. 24.--Soaring high above the roof-tops of surrounding buildings, then sliding. gracefully through a fog-bank which hung, gray and uninviting, to the 'east, Captain P. C. Garatt and his co-pilot, T. Has- tings-Trew, left Toronto today on what was probably the first Toronto- to-Halifax flight. They fhopped off from the Toronto harbor airport. . With 1,000 miles air-distance to be covered, they expect to complete the flight in cleven hours' actual flying time. Travelling . 350 miles over water, the seaplane, a Gipsy Moth, will then turn its nose. towards Megantic, Que, where 'a landing will 'be made for fuel. Then the state of Maine will be crossed. St. Jolin, N.B,, will be the scene of the second refueling. With the Bay of Fundy the next port of call, the machine will then make its final lap to Halifax. When. the machine roared out of the harbor today, Joyce, aged 9, and Margaret, aged 7, the two little girls of Mr. Hastings-Trew, were with their mother at the airport. "It's not going to take us long to get there to deliver. the machine," said Garratt,. "but it's going to take a whale of a lot longer to get back." Found With Bullet. Wound Sioux.

(By Canadian Press) London, Sept. 24. -- Premier Ramsay MacDonald's visit to Washington next month will be little more than for the purpose of shaking hands with President Hoover and demonstrating to the American people the friendliness and sincerity with which the Brit- {sh wish to see naval parity estab- lished, it was learned today from authoritative quarters. This accounts for the smallness of the British delegation and ex- plains why it does not include a naval expert, notwithstanding that several names have been discussed during the last few days. There is still some doubt as to whether Sir Arthur Willert, head of the Press Department at the Foreign Office and former corres- pondent of the London Times in Washington, will accompany the delegation, the matter being still discussed, but it appears that R. L, Craigie, head of the American department at the Foreign Office, will handle the press. Mr, MacDonald has been criti- cized in some quarters for not in- cluding Willert in the official list, although a few days ago it was stated that he would go, and the Manchester Guardian today com- pares the Premier's attitude with that of Right Hon. Philip Snowden at The Hague reparations confer- ence, .where British journalists were provided with an efficient press officer from the Foreign Of- fice, instead of having to rely on French sources for their news, as was often the case when Sir Aus- tin Chamberlain was Foreign Min- ister. : In this connection the Guardian points out that the reason why the British side at The Hague confer- ence was so ably presented was due to this press officer. "At the Washington conversa- tions," concludes the newspaper, "there is renewed hope that we shall not have to wait on our American confreres for news." | New Lithuanian Cabinet Berlin--An official Lithuanian telegraph agency dispatch from Kovno last night announced that the Cabinet formed by Jonas Tu- belis had been submitted to Presi- dent Smetona and approved.

J. Bragg Nominated as Candidate (By Staff Reporter) Orono, Sept, 23, --Training his gun! upon Premier Ferguson's statement in his Royal York banquet speech as to the financial position of the Pro- vince of Ontario, W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal I speaking at the nominating convention for Durham riding held here this after- noon, charged the premier with try- ing to deceive the people of Ontario in claiming that the net debt of the province amounted to only $60,000,000 Mr, Sinclair made apt comparisons between the premier's speech and the statements of the provincial treasurer and the public accounts of Ontario, and contended that the, figures given by Mr. Ferguson were ridiculous, Mr, Sinclair also touched on various other phases of his clection mani festo, and particularly with the li- quor issue, referring specifically to the statement of Premier Ferguson, made at Elmvale on Saturday to the effect that he was not much con- cerned with whether liquor control or prohibition prevailed, so long as the welfare of the people of Ontario was 'safeguarded, This statement, said Mr. Sinclair, showed that the premier did not * "ow where he stood on the liquor question, but was will- ing to adopt any policy so as to se- cure the return of the government to power.

He answered by stating that he was unreservedly in favor of taking a case to the privy council to decide as to the rights of the provincial legislature to prohibit the manufacture of alcohol. © Mr. Sinclair's Speech Mr, Sinclair's speech was the chief feature of the convention, and it was a splendid effort.
