S. Mc- Laughlin, president of the General Motors of Canada,limited, and one of the men responsible for the erec- tion of the Arcna, put forward the interesting suggestion that, having secured an Arena, Oshawa now needs a modern stadium to complete the equipment necessary for the develop- ment of athletics and sports in the city. Mr, McLaughlin, in making this suggestion, was speaking of the value of participation in athletics in developing the 'citizenship of Canada, and he was strongly of the opinion that in order to take its proper place in Cnada as an athletic cenrte, a stadium was a necessity. Mr. McLaughlin further imple- mented his s gestion by saying that he SPitidere be dra Park 'was an ideal location for such a stadinm, providing the present unsightly build- ings of the South Ontario fair board could be removed from it. In opening his remarks, Mr. Me- Laughlin said there has been a great need for an Arena in Oshawa, and while disclaiming that he had been solely résponsible for the new build- ing which 'has been opened, he said he had simply wanted to do his duty as a citizen in supporting clean sport. "I like to see clean sport, and to see boys brought up as good sports. That builds up their manly qualities, whether they win or lose, and there is nothing which brings out man- hood better than being a good loser, Need For a Stadium ""The next thing we need)" con- tinued Mr. McLaughlin, "is a sta- dium. There is no readson why we should not have one, and the place for it is at Alexandra Park. Alex- andra Park was purchased by an Oshawa driving club, and was de- veloped for horse races.

Tess than in the 1928 fis- cal year. Revenue from all sources totalled $4,970,282.13 while ex- penditures which were pared 4.68 below the 1928 figure, stood at $3,042,401.96.

Railway creased revenue, the road paid $1, 100,000 into the provincial treas- ury and finished the year with a surplus of $221,464.14 or $70,000 less than in 1928. In his preface to the report, the rallway commission chairman, Geo, |' W. Lee, attributed the lessened revenue chiefly to adverse agricul- tural conditions encountered dur- ing the year In the north. He saw slight improvement in the news- print business and expressed the belief that the country's economi- cal position was "fundamentally stronger than some recent events would indicate."

EFFORTS OF FRANCE AND ITALY FAIL France Refuses To Concede Naval Parity--Pact Seems Unlikely (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) ! Paris, Jan, 10--France is unable to concede naval "parity to Italy as a basis for negotiation of a Mediter- | ranean pact of non-aggression, but official circles do not feel too much importance should be ascribed to the fact. The French Foreign Office authorities believe that the entire subject of sea strengths should be settled from the standpaint of the security needs of each. nation. Naval parity as such is held to be a doc- trinal question of prestige only. Nevertheless hope for a general pact of non-aggression in the Medi- térranean as a preclude to any agrec- ment which the London conference may evolve appeared considerably dimmed today. It was stated, how- ever, that the situation was not hope- less and that a way might yet be found out of the difficulty. ""Breakdown of Franco-Italian nego- tiations for a preliminary agreement was not believed to weaken chances for success of the London conference, It was believed that when Italy meets Great Britain -and the other naval powers in the British capital she will sce the need for bringing Spain and Great Britain into the proposed naval reduction agreement.

DUNNING SURGESTS CHANGE IN INCOME TAXES Field May Be Devided Be- tween the Dominion and Provinces (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, Jan. 10--Suggestion by Hon. C. A. Dunning, minister of finance, that Canadian "businessmen should give some consideration to the situation arising in the dominion out of the duplication of income taxes, was made here otday. Speaking to a deputation representing the Cana- dian Chamber of Commerce, the new minister of finance said that some of the provincial governments were anxious for the dominion govern- ment to get out of the income tax field. The federal income tax was a war tax, Mr. Dunning pointed out, and a large part of the cost of the war remained to be paid. "The dominion cannot do without the in- come tax," said Mr. Dunning. Certain of the provinces, however, had suggested that the ficld might be divided. For instance, the sugges- tion had been made that the field of personal income taxation be left to the provinces and that of business income taxatoin to the dominion. "I am not making any promises" said Mr. Dunning, "but I think business- men 'might very well study the mat- ter, Urges Ban on Battleships London Spectator Calls on| Great Britain to Set Example London, Jan. 10.--The Specta- tor, = London weekly of nom-par- tisan affiliations but Conservative leanings, adding {its voice to the Times and other authoritative Lon- don journals in its issue to:® fw will urge the British goverament to propose abolition of battleships at the forthcoming naval confer- ence. Admitting that United States na- val opinion places grea faith in the big ships on their merits, the Spectator says President Hoover nevertheless has pledged the Un- ited States to 'reduce her naval strength in proportion to any oth- er country."

S. | McLaughlin and Mayor Mitchell Addressed the Crowd FIGURE SKATING WAS BIG FEATURE Arena Is a Marvellous Struc- ture, and Is One of the Finest in Dominion of Canada Oshawa's new $130,000 Arena was officially opened last night. An event which - has long been anticipated, thousands of Oshawa citizens, lovers of Canada's great winter game, were present to witness its culmination. The long vows of seats, rising in tiers from all sides of the huge ice surface, were crowded with men and women and many exclamations of surprise and delight were heard as, for the first time they surveyed Oshawa's new ice palace. And what a palace! Dedicated to the service of old King Hockey, it provides an ice surface of 85 fect by 194 feet, the second largest sur- face to be found in any city or town throughout Ontario. Buried beneath the ice are nine miles of iron pipe thus insuring a hard, keen surface under all kinds of weather conditions Above the ice are suspended 24 one= thousand watt clectric lamps provid- ing perfect illumination, Then im- agine the players in bright colored jerseys skating to and fro at dizzy peed, the click of the steel blades and the duller sound caused by the sticks and you have a scene which will delight the heart of any hockey follower. Although events in connection with the openiug of the rink had been scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, they did not actually commence until sev- eral minutes later due to the fact that hundreds of people were still pouring into the arena at this time. The crowd started to come at 7 o'clock when many, anxious to se- cure rush seats, sought admission, Before 8 o'clock every entrance to the arena was jammed with strug- gling Oshawans, They pushed and shoved like a crowd in a subway but all in good nature. Soon the long rows of seats, providing accomoda- tion for 3,750 people were filled with hockey fans who received a thrill of pride and joy when for the first time they surveyed the interior of a build- which is fulfilling a long felt need in the city.

It provides splendid accomodation for the public including conveniently lo cated refreshment booths, 'Lhe dress- ing rooms for the players are large, comfortable and well equipped, while there are also complete facilities for those who will use the rink on skat- ing nights, Every seat in the Arena is so lo- cated that a good view may be had of the ice; This is because of the absence of pillars or posts, a special type Lamella roof being used. This splendid building which fills a long felt need in the city has been made possible through the enterprise of Messrs.

J. McCallum, president of the County of York Law association, last night advo- cated the bringing of a test case as was done in Manitoba in 1910 to decide the question of jurisdic- tion. With the 1930 session of the federal parliament approaching and the question of divorce courts for Ontario looming large as a par- liamentary issue, great interest is being manifested in the subject throughout the province, and par- ticularly in Toronto, The York County Law association at its rec- ent annual meeting resolved in i~ vor of divorce courts being estab- lished. Prominent lawyers fami- | liar with divoree practico before the senate, and others familiar with constitutional law, last night discussed the issue freely, with the Test Divorce Case for Ontario Court Favored cheapen divorce for poorer people was a point much disputed. Noted clerics, including Dr. W. T. Gunn, moderator of the United church, Rev. Canon Ward-Whate, of the Anglican body, Rev. Canon Vernon, Rev. W. E.

Believes in Jurisdiction The vresident of the County of York Eaw association expressed himself as being strongly in favor of Ontario courts being granted the right to deal with divorce, or the present right which he asderts, being established.
