U.S. BAN ON SOVIET G00DS ADVOCATED | Resolution Passed by New People's League was conducted on | York Chamber of Commerce New York, 1bargo on Soviet im- ports and deploring the exportation of industrial equipment and the ex- tension of technical advice to the Russian Government were adopted by the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York recently. I'he resolutions were based on the » of an investigating commit- [tee headed by James S. McCulloh, president of the New York Tele- phone Company. They were passed amid much applause by a vote of 207 to 3. Copies will be sent to Pre- sident Hoover, Congress and heads of federal executive departments. . One resolution holds that "the importation of commodities produced within the boundaries of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics is det- | rimental to the public itnerest should be discontinued." Another states that "the exporta- tion of industrial equipment and the extension of technical advice to the rulers of Russia, which is, in effect, giving aid to elements seeking to de- and June 9 -- Resolutions | ratc of progress in insanity contin- ues, the period is calculable, and must come within the present cen- tury, when the Province of Quebec will be peupled mainly by insane, imbeciles, feeble-minded and men- tally defective, judging by official figures. A few years ago Dr. A H. Desloges, general medical direc- tor of hospitals for the insane, re- formatories, industrial schools and anti-venereal campaign for the Pro- vince of Quebec, startled North Am- erica by a prognostication that at the then rate of progress it would take about a quarter of a century for the civilized world to be mainly peopled by mentally defectives. Statistics available in his office and consulted by The Star the other morning seem to tend to bear out his suggestion, although the period may have to'be extended somewhat. Number Increases Tn 1929 these official statistics | showed that the number of patients | hospitalized in Province of Quebec hospitals for the insane had in- creased from 7,136 to 7,552, or 5% per cent. In 1930, the official stati tics showed an 'increase from 7,552 to 8,438,+or 14 per cent. The population statistics of the Province of Quebec as contained in the official yearbook issued by the Provincial Secretary's department shows that in the past few years the increase in population throughout the province has been not more than three per cent per annum, If the 1930 rate of increase of nearly 14 per cent is maintained, and the increase in population continues at three per cent, it is a matter of comparatively simple calculation to establish how long it will take for the more rapid increase in insane cases to overtake the increase in population, and people the province almost entirely with insane, feeble- minded and defectives, Jf, however, the ratio of increase | in insanity of the past three years is continued, the possibility becomes appalling. Tn 19 increase was less than one per cent In 1929 it was five and one-half per cent. In 1930, nearly 14 per cent, 1f the 14 per cent increase is maintained, in 20 years the popula- tion of insane asylums in the pro- vince would already have reached over 50,000, while the total poula- tion of the province would not have reached four millions. But if the proportion of increase continues the prospective number of insane in the province in 20 years is staggering. Accurate Figures Asked as to the accuracy of these figures, Dr. Desloges, while reluc- tant to discuss the matter in detail, admitted that they were accurate, and corresponded with official fig- Insanity Shows Steady Gain Through Quebec HT Montreal, June 9--If the present] 28 the proportion of | uthoritics on mental hygiene. He [has just returned from Toronto, where he attended and addressed a convention of psychiatrists and men- tal hygiene workers. He was not prepared to admit that the proportion of insanity was likely to go on ificreasing however. He pointed to the effects of the wave of frantic stock speculation and subscquent stock market crash, with the period of general depres- sion which followed it, as being pro- bably largely responsible for the sudden jump in the proportion of insanity in the province during the past two years. Asked whether this was a condi- tion confined to the Province of Quebec he said he did nc think so. He did not believe that this prov- ince was any worse off than other provinces and other parts of the world. In fact he thought that there were many places whose figures, if accurately tabulated, would make a much worse showing than those of this province. He also admitted, however, that these official figures only took cog- nizance of the cases of insanity, of a dégree of gravity which made it necessary for the patient to be con- fined in an institution. To this he thought one had to-add the number of cases which were not confined ; people who were undoubt- edly defective, feeble-minded, epil- cptic and so on, but who were go- ing around at large, earning some sort of a living and caring for them- selves. If this class were added to the known figures of actually in- sane, there was no doubt that the result would be a considerable . in- crease in the proportion of mental deficiency. The probability seems to be that this class of defectives in- creases at least as rapidly as the proportion of hospitalized cases, and was frequently the breeding ground of the latter, More Normal Trend hopeful side of the picture at after such a violent shak- | ing up as has been seén in the past | year or two, there was a possibility | that mankind would settle down to | a quieter and more peaceful, less | nerve-racking mode of life. Violent speculation would become the weak- ness of a few instead of the obses- sion of the mass 'as it was for a time during the boom period; the mass of people would be spared the nerve-strain of violent disillusion, heavy pecuniary losses and the like. There was also a possibility of a return on the part of the great mass of people to quieter home life, old- fashioned religion, and avoiding of those "jazzy" crazes in music, en- tertainment, finance, religious specu- lation and the like which tend to The ures and the statements of reliable' unbalance the minds of all but the more staid people. Husband's Claim Based Upon 47-Year-Old Marriage Contract stroy the economic and political sys- | tems under which we live, and is, therefore, wholly unjustified on po- litical, economic, social and moral grounds." The executive committee of the or- ganization, as well as a sub-commit- tee, have been examining the Rus- sian question since last November Hearings have been held, both pri- vate and public, and many persons, including leading American business men as well as visiting foreigners, have been quesfioned. The inquiry also included examin- ation of private documents and of Congressional committees, The five-year plan, the resolutions state, if suacessful, will subject the foreign trade of all nations toe un- fair competition. "However, it is not to be over- looked," they say, "that by itself Soviet Russia: could not, certainly not in any brief period, accomplish its ultimate aim without outside as- sistance and the help of the very nations whose economic welfare it professedly seeks to destroy. Are we prepared to assume the responsi- bility of aiding the Russian regime hasten the accomplishment of its ativertised objective? "Some of the industries of the Un- ited States are gravely threatened by unfair and destructive Russian competition. We should not hesi- tate to act promptly to prevent any aggravation of the situation. Other- wise, the Communist economic men- ace may be fraught with the gravest consequences. "It is necessary that trade with Soviet Russia be discontinued in or- der to conserve the economic well- being and political .institutions of the world." OLD TRADITIONS FELT IN QUEBEC Visitors Are Given Peculiar Impressions in Old Province Quebec, Que., June 9.--Going to Quebec and viewing' this quaint and historical city is similar to the ex- perience of someone suddenly awakening to find that the clock of time has played a strange game and that instead of living in 1931, the years 1600 and 1700 are still count- ing the beadsof their months and days, In this oasis of traditions of good taste, slow living, and 'humbleness of attitude of imnd towards the creative fields, one meets men who are still responsive, in'a human way, 'to what took place in Canada hun- dreds of years back. If Quebec you are not in a sort of Museum of the past as you are in Athens or Rome Champlain, Montcalm are not mere names as you find inscribed on monuments or in books of history. To listen to the first passer-by in the streets, if you were absolutely ignorant of Canadian history, you might think these men lived onlv yesterday, so alive are the ties be- tween the past and the present of Montreal, June 9.--Under a mar riage contract entered into 47 years ago, he was entitled to all revenues from a donation which he then made in favor of his wife, George A. Slater, former prominent shoe manufacturer, declares in an action beiore Mr. Justice Delorimier in the Superior Court in which he asks that certain stocks purchased by lis wife should be turned over to a trustee and the revenues paid to him. The case is proceeding. In his declaration to. the court, Mr, Slater states that by the mar- riage contract in question he made a gift of $10,000 to his wife, at the same time reserving the right to all revenues coming from any invest- ments.made with. the money. At various times, he declares, Mrs. Slat ter invested the money in Montreal Light, Heat & Power shares and herself collected the amount of di- vidends. At a certain date, He called upon her to hand over the dividend earnings as provided in the marriage contract, he contends, but she refused. . The present action therefore asks that the 1,354 shares of stock be handed over to a trust company to be administered. With the action was taken a seizure of the. stock. In her defence, Mrs, Slater main- tains that the shares have always belonged to her and that the plain- tiff never had any ownership of them, under the marriage contract referred to. The stock, she says, was acquired by her at various times out of the proceeds. of insurance policies on the life of her brother and on a fur neckpiece which was stolen. Also, she says, she managed to effect savings in the household management and from certain other sources, she acquired the money to buy the stock in question. In any event, if her husband has any re- course for the stock, it should be taken by way of a mutual account- ing, she contends. the French-Canadian in. Quebec. Young ladies of- the best families wear cotton stockings with distinc tion and, walk home from schoo! with chaperons. The stranger, if he addresses a Quebec inhabitant, is questioned about his impressions of the city with a delightful candor. You rub your eyes, you box your ears, to be sure that this is so. Here you are, away from the mo- dern world and its complexities, yet not in a necropolis but in a very much alive city, in a city which has no duplicate anywhere else in the world, in a city where every man and every woman is what he or she is because of a rare worshipping attitude towards the past, because of a unique heritage oftraditions and customs' borne with pride and ap- preciation of what they imply as moral and social values. What, will you inquire, do these people offer in the field of creative art? Not much up to this date, "We are not a people of creators so far", says a noted French-Canadian, "Our own people concentrate on their history, on the investigation of what their ancestors did, of who they were, how they lived; this is not in- conductive to a creative spirit, vet when it comes to the faithful achievement in any work of hand, our craftsmen arg the most depend- able and the mo#t skilful." And to corroborate this statement one looks at the wood carvings which adorn the handsome doors of the Quebec Museum, a building © to which French-Canadian craft brought its full share of skill and careful con- tribution. Museum Holds Canada's History The Museum, of which Mr. Sim- ard is the curator, is erected on the Plains of Abraham not far from the Wolfe monument. It dominates the lovely greenplains by the St. Lawrence known as the Battle Fields. It is not dedicated to an aesthetic purpose as much as to a Canadian ideal. A very important section of the Museum is to house the archives of the Proyince of Quebec and such documents which have to do with the past history of Canada. This department, under the care of the able historian M. Pierre Georges Roy, is graced with manuscripts and papers unique in their authentic value as they are mostly original documents. Around the walls will hang copies of portraits and historical paintings which have to do with the past his- tory of Canada. A portrait of Francis I. by Francois Coluet and several portraits by Rigaud attract- ed the attention of the visitor by their remarkable qualities of like- ness to the originals. These conies were executed in France by Oliver Flornoy, noted for his rare ability as a copyist of masters. In the hall adjoining the denart- ment of archives, there will be a display of models of historical monuments. "These were made af- ter designs by French-Canadian craftsmen and they include the church in Beaumont, Chateau St. Louis, Maison Montcalm, Manoir de Gaspe, Kent House and several other interesting and noted old houses. A department of natural history will offer a large collection of the fauna of Canada. Canadian Art Trd The Fine Arts department will devote itself to assembling a com. plete collection of paintings and sculpture by Canadian artists, Two factors will be considered in the ac- quisition of work for this section; the Canadian orign of the artist and the Canadian character or associa- tions of the work selected. The group will even include portraits and religious paintings by those Brothers who came to Canada un- der the French regime and were, to' a certain extent, the first paint ers in the country. Among these Antoine Roy, in his recent work on "Literature, Science and Fine Art in Canada during the French Re- gime," mentions as outstanding the work of Brother Luc Le Francois" Early names which will make up the collection of Canadian paintings are Kreighoff, Plamandon, Finlar. deau, Legare, Hamel and many oth- ers. When it comes to the contem- poraries, painters throughout the country will be represented. 1 It is not the plan of the Museum to ostracizg any particular school or manner of paintings as long as the artists represented have won recog- nition by discrimminating art lovers It is even planned to include such men as Ernest Lawson who are Canadians in their back-ground only although their lives have been spent mostly outside of Canada. In this category will probably fall Henri- etta Shore, who started to paint in Toronto and who has won rec- ognition in California both in the field of painting and in that of lith- ography. We found no narrowness on the part of the curator no desire to make this collection representa- tive exclusively of the Province of Quebec as, many in other parts of the country have been inclined to believe. French-Canadian Expression As in Montreal, there is in Que- bec a School of Art which is paving the way for a French-Canadian are expression. The school was, until his recent death, under the direc- torship of the aquafortist Nielson. Succeeding this artist' in the func- tion of Director, Horatio Walker, interpreter of old fashioned French- Canadian life, has been temporarily placed in charge. An official decree will tore than likely confirm his title very shortly. Two men play an active and im- portant part in the formation of the students of the school. They are Lucien Martial, who directs the sec- tion of painting and decorative arts, and Mr. Panichelli who directs that of architecture. It was gratifying to discover that in'the class of Mr, Martial, as in that of Mr. Maillard in Montreal, students are being trained in the technique of painting but left iree to express their own individual temperament. Mr. Mar- tial is a fine painter in his own title and was invited to exhibit at the Carnegie International Exhibition of painting which was held in Pitts- burgh last October. CENSUS TAKER WAS WELCOMED BY KISS Case of Mistaken Identity | Brings Salute From Pretty Housewife (By The Canadian Press) Montreal, June 9.--'And thes she kissed me," concluded the in- dignant census taker, narrating to a reporter a comic incident in connection with his ticklish task of counting the great Canadian nation-- or an allotted part of it, A pretty house-wife, he explain- ed, was expecting her uncle on her husband's side and jumped to conclusions when he called in con- nection with the decennial census that started on June 1. "What did you do?" "What could I do? T said, Ma- dam, I'm not your Uncle Jim. I'm the census taker.'" "Then she fainted arms?" "Not nowadays. What she did was laugh and 'phone up someone and tell it as an immense joke on me." Another census taker was greet- ed by a blithe young man who said, "Sure. 'Come in and have a drink on me. You can put down Mr. and Mrs. Brown aud a son. It's a boy ... . this morning . . . gonna call him John." GERMAN CRUISERS OUTCLASS OTHERS Offensive Power, Speed and Action Radius Amaze British Experts London, June 9.--Recently re- vealed details of the radius of action and offensive and defensive capabi- lities of the new 6,000-ton German cruisers Koenigsberg, Karisruhe and Koeln have amazed British naval experts and convinced them that these threc German vessels are far superior to anything in their class in the world, - According to information now reaching London, each of the new cruisers has a radius of action, us- ing steam only at 5500 miles at 15 knots, but running on Diesel engines alone, they will be able to travel 18,- 000 miles without refueling. This far exceeds the cruising perform- ance, without refueling, of any other warship in the world, and gives them a strategic performance entire- ly disproportionate to their ton- nage. in your Armament Is Powerful This strategic performance is fur- ther enhanced by an exceptionally powerful armament consisting of nine - high-velocity 6-inch Krupp guns, each capable of firing eight rounds a minute, or 24 rounds per turret a minute. There are threc turrets, and the cruisers are there- fore each capable of hurling 105+ pounds shells at the enemy at the rate of 72 a minute. Against such a rain of steel and explosives only the most heavily armored vessels could hope to survive, In addition to the 6-inch guns, the cruisers are equipped with four 34-inch semi-automatic guns for use against aircraft, and the unu- sual number of 12 torpedo tubes. To withstand heavy punishment the ar- mor belt covers the water-line and a thick steel deck lies over the ma- chinery and magazine spaces, while numerous water-tight compartments rovide more than the usual protec- tion against shells or torpedos find- ing their way below the waterline. New Mark in Efficiency According to British designers, the Diesel engines used in the three | vessels set an entirely new mark for efficiency and low weight, develop- ing onc horse-power for each 12 pounds of weight. This is barely one-third the weight of Diesel en- gines ordinarily employed for marine purposes. They are also remark- ably compact. : : This fact becomes more evident when it is realized that the Diesel engines were installed only as an af- ter-thought. * Yet ample room was found for their installation, and by this clever stroke the Germans created three cruisers with a radius of action in a class wholly by them- selves. These engines, it is pointed out, would enable the three vessels to make a voyage from Germany to the Far East and back without re- fueling--a feature that is viewed here as no little significance. 15 TANG EXPLAINS HIS ACTION T0 HOOVER Veteran Chinese Statesman Tells of Re-Entering Struggle Canton, June 9,-- veteran Chinese statesman wl the first premier of the republic in 1912 and now is a member of the standing committee of five of the new "National Government of the Republic of China" set up here last week, dispatched recently the fol- lowing personal telegram to Presi dent Hoover, explaining why he ha joined the movement against Gen- eral Chiang Kai- k, president of the Nanking Government: She "My dcar friend: For nearly a score of years I have been \ the battle watching and r upon men's doings in Today 1 re-enter the part in a struggle whose 1 to reassert and make clear the ciple underlying the abdication the Manclin dynasty, as well as failure of Yuan Si to rein- troduce the d tem nn China.
