THE OSHAWA DAILY. TIMES. FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1931 11 CRISIS THREATENS FRENCH GAPINET "overnment Program for - Farm Relief Presents Difficulties Paris, Jan. 23.--A crisis grow- fog out of the Government pro- for farm relief threatened the newly organized Administra- tion headed by Premier Theodore 8. ; - Th Cabinet, however, sought to vert serious difficulties by steer- a middle course through the ous plans offered on both sides. The creation of a wheat of- fice charged with controlling the tmportation and utilization of for- gu cereals and facilitating do- Mestic exports was approved. , The Ministers, however, ignored \ e of Agriculture Victor Boret"s promise given last week that the price of wheat would be raised by increases in tariffs. The Boret plan for higher wheat prices was bitterly opposed by Under Secretary Leon Meyer, Another move however, looking to aid for the farmers was taken when the Cabinet charged Louis Loucheur, Minister of Commerce, and Boret to work together in the Preparation of a project for stabili- zation of cereal prices at a figure remunerative to the producers without endangering the interests of the consumers by raising prices sharply. No immediate question of a tar- iff increase was involved, it was understood. Relative to foreign flour im- ports. the Cabinet approved a de- cree that in future foreign flour must be accompanied by an entry permit because of recent com- plaints as to quality of flour from ebroad. The Cabinet's consideration of the wheat problem came coincid- entally with intimations that Can- ada is making progress in driving 8 wheat bargain with France. Scientists were quoted as declaring the only means to avold employ- meént of chemicals in bread-mak- ing was to mix French wheat with wheat from abroad, preferably from Manitoba, Canada, LEVINE'S PLANFS SOLD AT AUGTION Action Taken To Satisfy Judgment For Overdue Hangar Rent Roosevelt Field, L..I., Jan, 23.-- Three airplanes belonging to Charles AY Levine, including the experimental craft Uncle Sam, which be built two years ago in great secrecy and at a reputed cost of $265,000, were sold by the sher- itt at auction for $3,000 to satisfy & judgment for overdue hangar rent. The judgment, obtained by the Roosevelt. Field Corporation, was for $5,100, and covers about 14 months' rent. Mr. Levine did not attend the sale. An order for his arrest was issued on Jan. 6 after he had fall- ed twice to appear at the request of the District Attorney for ques- tioning about his possession of stolen securities. The Uncle Sam one of the most carefully and expensively ¢on- structed planes ever built, was flown only six times since it was completed in the fall of 1929, pilots at Roosevelt Field recalled yesterday. Defeots in design, it was said, made it difficult to fly. Levine built t'e plane for a round-the-world flight. It hag a gasoline capacity of 1,400 gallons, and is made entirely of metal, The fuselage resembles a submarine, and is riveted, braced and welded for unusua] strength. French de signers were imported to work on "the ship in Levine's airplane fac- tory at Long Island City. At the American Legion aircraft show in 1929 the plane' was "unveiled" without ever being test flown. CAMPAIGN AGAINST "REDS IS V'RGED Hon. Joseph Dillon Urges Organizations to Take Action Montreal, Jan. 23.--A sugges- don that organizations such as the Knights of Columbus engage in sounter-campaigns against the Red snslaurhts, made to advance fan- astic notions of social order, was made hy Hon. Joseph Dillon, M.L. A. for St. Ann's division, speaking sefore the members of the Dollard assembly of the Knights of Colum- bus. The peril of the propaganda emanating from Soviet Russia should not be under-estimated. but he felt' sfire that innate com- mon sense had proved itself one of the otstanding traits of the Cana- dian people from the bifth of the colony. He referred to the loyalty of the French-Canadians to the Motherland and the attempts made to endanger that loyalty. "Today when the whole world is Feinm assailed insidiously through economic means and by propaganda, with all species of gystems and forms of government. which are aided and helped by thaze who are in power in Russia, ' ~n Aen*t that the Cana- ; and the people of the province of Quebec and of the City of Montreal will see that their in- terest lies in standing by the prin ciples for whieh they fought in the past," he declared. BUSINESS BETTER AT PEDLAR'S PLANT (Continued from page 1) which he describes as "better than any other type of corrugated or rib metal rooflng on the market today. This new product will be placed on sale Forty under the trade name .of Pedidrib. It is a long sheet type of roofing, made in sizes up to ten fect. There are two oustan features. One is a large corrugation in the cen- tre of the space between the ribs, which allows for nailing between the ribs, without danger of leaking, which was not possible in the former types of roofing. The other improve- ments is a beading on each side of each rib, which provides a triple pto- tection against leakage, and makes the roofing absolutely leak-proof. The appearance of the roofing has also been enhanced, and it is stated to be the most attractive of any metal roofing. It will be made in two weights, the ordinary iron weight and council standard, a heavier, stiffer roofing. Ordérs Coming In Samples of this roofing are now being sent out, and already six fair- ly large orders have been received. Salesmen are very enthusiastic about it, and anticipate a big demand. The Pedlar People have announced a new fi ing arrangement by which farmers can buy their supply now, for delivery by June 1, with special terms, this being done to encourage pre-season orders. Besides its uses for farm buildings, this product is suitable for warehouses, and many other types of structures. her Demand Good The com_.any also reports a good demand for their metal lath and sim- ilar prodgcts. A number of large buildings are now being erected in various pafts of the dominion, and the Pedlar. fim has secured a large proportion of the orders for lath, etc, for these structures. In this :partment, another new product is being placed on the mar- ket, this being an improved type of corner beading known as Pedex. This beading has an apron of metal lath which allows plastering right up to the beading without any danger of chipping, a distinct advance over the former types. FSH COLLECTION PLAN A SUCCESS New Service By Govern- ment Valuable to Mari- time Fishing Industry Halifax, Jan, 23--The continuan of a fish collection boat service sub sidized by the Government is essen tial to the development of the various fishing industries of the Maritime Provinces, in the opinion of Dr. Rich ard Hamer, central secretary of the United Maritime Fishermen, Dr. Hamer said that "there is an attempt ot advise, if not compel the fishermen to salt and cure their fish. The deal- ers, especially those who own and op- erate trawlers, desire to retain the fresh fish marl: .t for themselves, and by having the subsidized collection boat service cancelled, force the Maritime fishermen out of this first quality fresh fish market." "The future of the industry lies in the fresh fish market and the fisher men realize it as well," said Dr Hamer. "Salting and curing fish ar not the best and modern ways . handling fish. The quality product * the fresh fish." "The. collection boat service las proved to be a huge success," he con- tinued, "and had it not been for the opnortunity to ship direct to the mar- kets, "swordfish and live lobsters, many fishermen would have found it necessary to apply for relief this win PATIFNCE TOWARD Psemier Brownlee Talks To Members of Vancouver Board of Trade Vancottver, Jan. 23--Making an ap- al for patience in allowing the wheat. pool to work out its destiny, Hon. J. E. Brownlee, Premier of As- berta, delivered an address at the an- nual meeting of the Vancouver Board of Trade. Mr. Brownlee, declared Alberta was in the best position in its history to exploit a return of normal business conditions. He warned his hearers not to be too seriously aroused by the talk of secession from the Dom- inion, which has been heard in the West recently, but he also advised it would be wise to take cognizance of it ag an indication of the feeling of lissatisfaction which is prevalent in Western Ca. ada, Referrng to the shipment of wheat through Vancouver he voiced the be- lief that the city's exports, eventually would take care of all of Alberta's production, as well as a large part of Saskatchewan's. Served Useful Purpose The wheat pool, said the Premier, had served a useful purpose, and he asked that the people of British Col- umbia should be patient in allowing it to work out its destiny. . Mr. Brownlee declared he had no fear that Russian competition in wireat production would prove ruin- ous to Canadian farmers, A return to normal conditions would materially increase the world consumption of primary products, and, when this came about surpluses would be absor- her. hie believed, Discussing Alberta's progress in the last decade, Mr. Brownlee sail his province was immeasurably Letter ' off than it had been 10 years carlicr. Alberta had built up an industrial de- velopment almost as as great as Drit- ish Colunibia, said Mr. Brownlee, which had helped tide the province over hard times, " The Premier said his province 1 ud assimilated its immigrants, instilling Canadian ideals into them, with the result that he held no fears for the future as far' as Alberta was cone gerned, SEEK TO LIMIT SOLDIERS RIGHTS Modification of Preferenc: in Civil Service Posts Is Requested 'Ottawa, Jan. 23.--DModification by Parliament of the returned sol- diers' preference in civil service ap- pointments so as to give other qualified persons a chance is being recurrently suggested in letters coming here to members of the Government from interested par- ties. Generally, the claim is that it is now over 12 years since the war ended and that conditions, justified originally, ought to be alt- ered by this time. Under the law as it now stands, in all examina- tions for civil service position, ex- service men have a preference which is mandatory and not dis cretionary upon the commission, If a clvilian writes in a1 examination and gets 100 per cent. and a re- turned soldier gets 70 per cent. the commission has no option but 'to give the position to the latter, al- though he can be rejected if unsat- isfactory. Those who are protesting have no objection to the returned soldier preference "all things being equal," but they object to the mandatory provision regardless of equality. It is particularly stressed that, under the law as it is now, many young men who were too young to enlist when the war was oun, regardless of tdmpetence, have difficulty in gett- ing into the service in competitive examinations because of the handi- cap of the soldiers' preference. Eight years ago a special eommit- tea of the House discussed a modi- fication of the preference to make it contingent upon "all things be- ing equal," but it was decided to leave it for a while longer and noth- ing has been done since, while what, if anything will now happen is pro- blematical. The sentiment for a change is strong, but so is the in- fluence of the ex-service men's or- ganizations. : HOUDAILLE-HERSEY CO.

S., AFRICA DELAYS OVERSEAS 'PHONE Waiting For Demand Before Establishing Service To Britain Pretoria, South Africa, Jan. 22.-- South Africa is waiting until there is a demand for a telephone service between this country and Great Britain before taking steps towards establishing such service, accord- ing to H. W. Sampson, Minister of Posts and Telegraphs., "As soon as the demand fer teétephonic com- munication with Britain arises in South Africa the Uni Post Office is prepared to erect andgfequip a sta- tion to work with thy Britieh sta. tion," the Minister agid in reply to a question from a newspaper report- er here recently. The position here with regard to oversea telephone service has no: changed from what it was some months ago when a statement on the matter wag made at the confer- ence of the Chambers of Commerce by the Britieh Postmaster-General, H. B, Lees-Smith, and confirmed by the South African Minister of Posts and Telegraphs.
