SAGE TWELVE: THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1931 CH INSPECTED [ CAPT, CAMPBELL at Daytona for Speed Trials Daytona Beach, Fla., Jan, 29. Capt. Malcolm Campbell, only man to drive an automobile ® than 200" miles per hour, "C in a pleasure car over the bach course on which he will try Ta new world's automobile speed next month. ® Briton announced strong east winds are needed to eli- swells and soft red sand before the course will be "ready for his Bluebird 2nd ana its |. trial to break the existing record 1.36 miles per hour, establish- here in 1929 by the late Sir hry Segrave. Campbell, who established a rec- in 1928 by driving his Blue- d 1st at 206,95 miles per hour ved here at midnight accom- nied by relatives and his agent ind mechanic. He expects his +450 horsepower superspeed car i to arrive here Thursday by freight. Trial runs with the white, (Nap- jer-powered motor will begin'Sat- . urday or Sunday, provided the course is right, he announced. The present unfavorable condition of 'the course can be remedied over- night by the right winds. The course has been alternately good and bad for the past month ob- servers stated, it was in perfect condition only last week. = Captain Campbell is confident = he will break Segrave's mark, but declines to estimate what speed he expects to attain, He talked of a speed of 240 miles an hour, or 14 seconds flat. He sot 300 or 302 miles per hour as a mathematical maximum tor the present trails, explaining that higher speeds would require A perfect riding surface and super- perfect tires. The tires to be used in the forthcoming trials are test- ed for 300 miles an hour, Captain Cantpbell explained the thought of being the only 'living manto drive a car more than 200 miles an hour does not conspire to form a mental hazard, "I have had many 'narrow es- capes from death as a racing driver, and am of the firm belief that I will go when my time comes and not before." He has been rac- ing automobiles for 25 years and expects to continue. until he is 70, he sald. "I will not be satistied until I have broken the existing record,' he declared. In addition 'to his Bluebird, Campbell brought from England a British seven-horse-power Austin, owned by Sir Hubert Austin, which he hopes to try out on the beach for a possible speed of 100 miles an hour. He has full confidence in the engine of the Bluebild, he said, but "there are other factors to con- sider--the car and the beach. I will be satisfied if the beach is iu as good condition as it was at the time I drove 206 miles per hour." SOVIET SCORNS LEAGUE'S POWER Moscow, Jan. 28.--The newspa- per Izvestia, gencrally regarded as a Government organ, warns in an editorial that the Soviet Union will not be bound by the draft conven- tion at next year's world disarm- ament conference. SAY PEAGE RIVER RAILWAY PROJECT NOW ABANDONED Government of British Col- umbia Cannot Assume The Cost Now Vancouver, Jan, 29.--The Van- couver Sunday Providence this week carried the .following special despatch from Y¥ictoria: "British Columbia is not going to build the Pacific Great Eastern Railway to Peace River. All the present attempts, fathered in Van- couver, to persuade the Govern- ment on this project are futile, for the Government has definitely de- cided "that it can not undertake such a policy with its present fin- ancial resources, "This pivotal point of Govern- ment policy was made clear here Saturday after strong pressure from various sources had been brought to bear on the Cabinet, in favor of a provincial "On-to-the- Peace" mavement, The Govern- ment, 'The Government is em- phatically in favor of a Peace River Railway, but it must be built by one or both of the trans-con- finenta) systems or by other cap- tal. "The cost of an extension by the P.G.H. to the Peace River is not known to anyone. Reports in the hands of the iovernment esti- mate it at anything from $20, 000,000 to $40,000,00. In any cage the province, in view of the fact, could not consider it for a moment, Hven at a cost of $20,- 000,000, the fixed charges on the necessary borrowings would be something more than $1,000.000 a year, at a time when provincial révenues have dropped in every direction and when only the most rigid economy can prevent in- creased taxation, '"'Any large extension of the P. G.E, at' this time would certainly mean a'large new burden of taxa- tion on the people of this prov ince, This, the. Government is not prepared to impose." SEES WORLD COURT AS PEAGE-MAKER Address, at Dinner In New York New York, Jan. 29,--One can only hope that the 'pesition et leadership in the cause of interna- tional understanding which the United States held will be re- sumed, so that the World Court can go forward and take greater part in the settlement of interna- tional disputes, declared Hon. Newton Wesley Rowell, of Toronto. in an address Saturday night at the annual dinner of the Canadian Society of New York, "Canada stands for the World Court and support of the Hague tribunal," Mr. Rowell said. "Settle- ment of international disputes by judicial methods, instead of war represents the difference between barbarism and civilization, "If the present world-wide de- pression dees nothing but teach egch nation that it cannot live apart, but is dependent upon every other nation, it will have 'done something worth while." Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, of Brooklyn, the only other speaker referred to the difference in popu- lation between the United States and Canada, and said: "What we need today is not more population, but a more in- telligent public opinion." He traced the growth of the Dominion and its amicable rela- tions with the United States. Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, presi- dent of the society, was toastmas- ter. THERE IS A BR = AKING POINT | (From the Kincardine Reviews Reporter) When will the breaking. point of a tax-burdened people be reached? We do not know any more than the next person but we do know that there 1s a breaking point and it can- not be far away, and one of the things that is making for this is the doubtful benefit of many lines of public welfare being taken up by governments and foisted upon the 1 people, The latest one of these, if we un- derstand the report correctly, is to be the establishment of township dental clinics by the Ontario gov- ernment, As we see it, the govern- ment will establish these clinics in all rural municipalities, but will not contribute more than $1,000 per year toward their upkeep and the town- ships will have to foot the balance of the bills, including the supplying of equipment which will"be no mean amount, There is more in this than meets the eye. We are willing to admit that the care of the teeth is a prime factor in good health, but this is primarily the business of the people themselves, In this enlightened age there is no reason for anyone not knowing the henefits of dental serv- ice and securing them and it is a parental duty to sce that children get these Ate: and the truth must be admitted that all such movements as this tend to weaken the obliga. tions of parents to their children, Not only that, but such a: system will mean a huge increase in the civil service and on the whole a public expenditure of millions of dollars, which will fall on the taxpayers. Where this sort of thing is going to end we cgunot say, but if the av- erage perso™ll just give the mat- ter thought they can vistalize how it 4s going to end unless there is a cry of halt! DANGER IN CHINESE SILVER LOAN SEEN Will Be Eventually Devoted To Stop Agricultural Imports Victoria, Jan, 20--"Whatever credit is pledged to China, it will be devoted eventually to defeat importation of products of the soil," stated J. Lock- hart, former adviser to the Chinese Government Railway administration, on arrival here from overseas. Mr. Lockhart is enroute to Ireland where he is to be superintendent. of the Great Northern Railway. "I, cannot believe it would be good business to extend the proposed sil- ver loan unless can be preguarded," he said. "There should be no question &f sentimentality entering into this negotiation, and if it is really a ques- tion of obtainingtrade preferences and securing them, it would probably be sound business, if not economy, to advance the money and forget the principal and interest." Touheing on Canada's proposal to participate in this suggested credit loan of $1,000,000,000 in silver bullion, Mr. Lockhart stated that if Canada's portion was advanced contingent up- on wheat sales alone; it. could not achieve its object. "Primarily an agricultural country, China's vast areas will produce more than enough wheat for its own peo- ple and you must look for her as a competitor when she brings the fer- tile plains of Manchuria to the state of full production," he commented, "In this connection the silver loan which is now suggested might be us- ed to excellent advantage, provided it. could be applied honestly and straight-forwardly to put the country on a productive Lasis, However, that is not likely to happen. If all the contributory nations would consent to place the funds administration in the hands of a select committee of the League of Nations, the difficulty might be solved to a great extent, but such a sugestion will probably not be accepted, "With the Nanking Government desirous of effecting a lasting union of China's many provinces und re- habilitating the country industrially, it would seem to me that Canada, if she is in a position to take advantage of them will have some splendid op- portunities to sell that country cer- tain wanted commodities," Mr, Lock- hart believed. "Included in saleable material there will be, my mind, all kinds of el- ectrical machinery, railway equip- ment, motor cars, and for a short time canned goods, wheat and flour. For the latter three items. Canada need not expect an indefinite market, but for the first-mentioned articles it will be many years before the coun- try is in a position to take care of its own needs in these lines," ASKS DUTY REMOVED FROM U.S. LITERATURE Washington, Jan. 29.--While some agitation looking = towards further Government control of United States publications in Can- ada is observed in the Canadian Press, delegates to the annual conference of the International Travel Federation meeting here adopted ¢ resolution that the Cana dian Government be asked to waive the payment of duty now in force on literature published in tho United States for free distribution by chambers of commerce and travel bureaus addressed to Cauu- dian points, \ Comparable literature coming from Canada to the United States, it was sald, is admitted free of duty. NEW VARIETY OF WHEAT IS CLAIMED Discovery By Experts Is Fruit of Fourteen Years' Research Kansas City, Jan. 29.--A wheal variety which he hopes will serve equally well three masters--farm er, miller and baker--has bee! submitted to a jury of experts by Dr. John Parker.
