Toronto.--Sergeant John Leopold Sf the Royal Canadian Mounted Police told a- criminal court jury here re* cently how for ten years he had beeii' an active member of the Canadian Communist party, even acting as secretary of the Regina branch and attending a grand Communist conference In Moscow, to get the low down for the Canadian government on the aims and ambfttOns of the Reds In the Dominion. When he testified in court against nine alleged Communists charged under the new federal law with being members of "ah illegal association," Leopold wore his red uniform for the first time in a decade. Throughout all the preceding ten years his wearing apparel has been working man's rough clothing and his haunts the so-, cret Councils and conclaves of t$e ai; leged emissaries in Canada of Moscow. Tails of Mo«coW# Dreams. fte .told of Moscow's hopes, for- Cairiadl&n secession from the British empire, of plans fd^mtilate^l for a Red revolt In Canada; of secret Codes and communications from Moscow; of an "A" Communist party which worked legally in the open, and a "Z" party which worked illegally underground; and of a jShflkeup of the Cajiiidian Communistic arm at the demand of Moscow because It was not sufficiently active In fomenting strikes and unrest among the working population. Leopold's entrance into the witness box was reserved for tha last Item of the crown's case In the sensational trial, and recognized as a desperate crown effort at convlttlon, for. with Leopold's public testimony went his further usefulness as police spy in the Red ranks. Nine pairs of scowling eyes glared at him from the prisoners' dock as he relentlessly bared the secrets of the Canadian Red organifatlon and even revealed the secret namely which individuals were designated in party communications. & The pretentious aspirations of the Communist element, involving Canadian break with the British empire and Red revolts in the mining and industrial centers of the dominion, re- Veals for the first time the reasons for the anxiety of the dominion governmentIn strengthening Canadian laws against illegal organizations and seditious utters nee. Wheu the Bennett government at thfc last session of the'Carthdian parliament took unto it- Itself virtually autocratic authority to deal with uprisings or movements aimed at government authority, it had before it all the Information which Sergeant Leopold gave to the Criminal court. But the government revealed nothing of It to parliament at thai time. ' • Bacame Trusted Member, Sergeant Leopold was known Tn the Communist party which he served as Regina secretary as J. W. Ksselwain. He said he became one of its most trusted members. His sensational testimony relative to Moscow's interest In Canadian secession from the British empire came when he was discussing the inner councils of the 11)25 convention" of the Communist party of Canada. ' ^ -- At this 1925 convention, he said, one Moriarity was the delegate from the (ommunistic international headquarters at Moscow. Moriarity, he said, reported that since the previous International conference in Moscow, a commission has been set up to dlf cuss the prospect of Canadian Independence." "What did they mean by that?* asked Special Crown Prosecutor Nor*, man Sommerville "Seceding from the British empire," Leopold replied. This Moscow commission, Leopold explained, had consisted of members of the executive committee of thS Communist International. Leopold introduced and identified S literal trunk load of Communistic lit*, erature and communications which had figured one way and another la Canadian Communistic activities, and- In the relations of the Canadian party; with its Moscow directing heads. One of the interesting revelations was the code System used by th* party. It was a cipher code, he salcV baaed on a certain page In a recog.i nized publication of the ^ party. By writing numbers certain letters wert indicated, as, for instance, the numbe? 57 would mean the fifth letter in th« seventh line -of the designated page.. FARM POULTRY MOST VITAL POINT IS PROPER MATING Careful Selection of Male Big Proposition. Correct mating of poultry for great*, est profits during the coming year Is • difficult problem and one that is usu ally conducted as a "hit-or-miss" proposition. S. W. Williams, poultryman In charge of North Carolina state college flocks, gays mating poultry is a bnrd Job for the experienced poultryman, and that the Inexperienced pan geherally gives it no consideration at all. However,, it is one, of the most important Jobs to be undertaken at the beginning of ..the hew poultry year. ' thfci "grower must know what h^, wants. If he wants, egg production, he must mate birds that have been producing eggs. If he wants show birds, he niust use those tttat have the standard conformations. To mate birds for egg production, the poultryman ought to understand what body factors indicate high egg production, says Williams. Select those of standard weight that are vig orous, broad, deep and with large body capacity. Such birds will lay more eggs and the chicks will be stronger than those from birds which do not have such desirable characteristics. If the hens lack some of these good qualities but are good layers, use a male bird which will correct the deficiency in the chicks. No bird should _be used In the breeding pens which has a tendency to be weak constitutionally.
