Reeve Carruthers reported that work was proceeding satisfactorily on ditching on various roads in the town from the moneys allowed Following a council session which lasted until midnight Monday, the town fathers decided not to award a contract for the new equaliser tank at Salem but to do the ex- cavating work under the super- vislon of the town engineer and later call tenders for the concrete work. This decision was reached after a lengthy committee meet ing, held in camera, in which the dispute of the contractors who had tendered for the work was thor- oughly discussed. Tenders were called last week and in the specifications it was stipulated that a minimum wage of 356 cents be pald aud that the town relief committee hire these men for the contractors, Evidently the local contractors and the one outside contractor were satisfied with the former clause but they dislikely the town hiring their help for them. All mentioned this fact in their tenders and none would take the contract on this basis. The contractors tendering for the work were T. E. Flaxman, well known local contractor, W, J. Culley, another well known loca! man and the Ontario Bridge Come vany 'who have been working on the bridges on the highway in the vicinity of the town, The contractors said that they woud have no guarantee that the {men would be good workers and they would naturally be put to added expense should it turn out that some of the men were not Ld Town Will do ".xcavation ork on Salem Equaliser 'as technical advisor. kooa workers.

He suggested that a Parks Commission be formed and be composed of a committee from the council and one from the Rotary Club to take care of the project. Mayor Elliott stated that he thought that wark should be started at once to give employment to the ever growing number of unemployed. Counciilor Strike was of the opinion that the work should go right ahead and that the mayor name a committee to work with the Rotary Club com mittee Deputy Reeve Rehder found himself in the center of op- position when he suggested thar only a sum of $300 should he spent onl the work in the new park. Cous- cillor Lockhart thought that the expenditure of this sum would be ridiculous after asking the Gov- ernment for $3,500 to spend on the park.

This mo- tion was ordered to be advertised in the local press for two weeks. No Hockey Grant Councillor Strike chairman of the Finance Committees reported back on the request for a grant of $100 for the Junior Hockey Club. He recognized all the hard- ships of running a team he stated, but in the present depression with so much money being spont on re- lief work tho committee was un animous in their decision that no grant should be awarded.

BENNETT RFPLIES ~T0J. H. THOMAS (Continued from page 1) ed, "then I have little hopo that any agreement which Canada may reach with the other overseas Do- minjons will include the United Kingdom." "Holding those views, it is but right that I should express them," said the Canadian Premier. "Time is running against us.

"But if her proposal is to be thu= contemptuously rejected Canadians can only accept ond act on the re jection by endorsing the othr means at hand of further strengt! ening their economic position | the world." « The statement made by Mr, eBn nett follows: "It is indeed a matter of rogret that IT am obliged to refer to a statement made in Parliament here on Nov. 26 by the Secretary of State for the Dominions (Mr, Thomas). I have refrained from earlier allusion to it in the hope and expectation that realization of the far-reaching consequences which must Inovitably attach to that statement would have com. pelled its denunciation by the Gov: ernment of the United Kingdom. "The failure of the Governmont to do this must, therefore, be con. strued as an eadorsation by it of |. the views expressed by one of its Ministers, This statement was a condemnation, in terms unusual as they are imjurious, of a proposal made by myself, on behalf of the Government of Canada, and which we sincerely believe contains the best solution of the urgent problem of closer Empire economic associa- tiop. This is an association which must be the joint concern of all, who, in their own interest and the commen interest, strive to promote the grestness & the British Com- monweslith of Nations, "Made Concrete Offer' "My proposal made op Oct, 8, at the plenary session of the delegates to the Imperial Conference, was that we -of the British Empire should subscribe to the principle of Empire tradc preferences and without delay, should take the ne- cessary steps to put it into ef. fective operation. To crystallize the the terms of my proposal and to provide a definite basis for dis- cussion, 1 made a concrete offer of reciprocal, and what I belleve to be mutually advantageous tar. iff preferences. "At the time T was careful to point out the need of a certain flexibility in the matter of tariff snd J said that the unit of prefer- ence suggested would necessarily be modified or increased in rele- tion to different classes of com- medities. On many other occasions I have made clear my views op this point. "The principle of preferential tariffs has been approved by all the overseas Dominions, and among them there was a common eagernéss to canvass their detailed application. But we did not wil- fully shut our eyes to any con- celvable moritorious alternative Indeed, I have declared on several occasions my willingness to favor- ably consider a qnota system, as a competitive method to that of tariffs, for securing a preferred po- sition for Empire wheat in the United Kingdom, Was Not Approved "The principle of preferential tariffs was neither approved nor categorically disapproved by dele gates of the United Kingdom in the Imperial Conference, nor was there offered by them any definite alternative to the general scheme endorsed by the Dominfons. The quota system was carefully con- sidered by the Committee on Eco nomic Co-operation, but, despite the favorable views which such in. quiry developed, no proposal of a quota on Empire wheat was made by the Government of the United Kingdom. "In the closing days of the Con- ference the delegates of the United Kingdom formally declared policy of their Government That policy naturally condemned--as, of course, those of all the other Gov- eruments represented did by in- ference--any scheme which would 'injure foreign trade or add to the hurdens of the people,' but it sug- gested that the Governments of the Empire should make a close examination of the various meth- ods by which each unit may make the greatest possible contribution to econpmi¢ co-operation within senting reports to the Conference to be held pext year. Agreed to Resolution "It was on the Dlasis of this statement of policy that the Cana- dian delegates agreed to a resolu- tion which was adopted by the Conference. This resolution, while acknowledging that the pro- cedure proposed should not be con- strued as a modification of the policies expressed on behalf of anv of the Governments represented at the Conference, azreed that, in- gsmuch as the Conference had not been able to examine fully the various means by which intra- tained and extended, the economic section of the Conference should he adjourned to meet at Ottawa within the next twelve months, The intention was that that exami- nation of means would be resumed with a view to adopting methods which "were most likely to help the achievement of the common aim. "It was in the spirit of thie resolution that the Conference ad- fourned. There was heard no modification the views exnress- od at the outset. On the contrary, and speaking for the Canadinn delegation, consideration of the alternatives suzgested--with the possible exception of the quota system as applied fo wheat--has hut served to confirm my original view, that Empire economir co- operation cdn hest be- estahliched and developed through the instru- mentality of mutually advantag- eoun tariff preferences. "But there was, nevertheless, an earer desire to search out some means of common acceptability by whieh the wrest object of closer Empire eonomie assaciation misht "e achieved. And with that earnest desire and with the hope that fit would be realized next year at Ot- tawa, the delegates separated, Pronoeal Conder nnd "Now the Recretary of State for | the Dohiniane hag contemned. he vond the neecihitity of further die ~ussion and in lan~vn~e whi-h fs deenly re<ented by the Government of Canada, the pronosal which I made in the earnest desire to n our inAtvidual and ane ears needs, He must be taken to have condemned alike the nrinsinla Ae un- of was advanced to remc~ve onr hate from purpoveless and vrofitahle peneralities, ont which there can never come a cr crete and stable acranmant 1» hag condemned it despite the res- olntions which were nite the statement of noliey of hf Government, desnite the fart 1° Aurin® the whole preaad, 7 tariff preferences nor anv nlane make them operative were cussed, And he has condemned it without offering a sinrle positive as an alternative to mine, "No Other Course Open" regret that I refer to this state- ment of the Secretary of State for | the Dominions.
