London.--Canada's share in the British Empire's reparations receipts under the Dawes plan, covering the period from September 1, 1924, to November 13, 1920, amounted approximately to £784,000, which has been paid over. This was stated in the House of Commons by Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to questions. Canada was also entitled to a share in the pre-Dawes plan reparation receipts, which on the basis of the accounts accepted by the Dominions were estimated at £778,650, he added, and this would be paid over as soon as the accounts settlement was reached financial cli Great Britain and C< "I submitted the proposals of settlement to Premier Mackenzie King last November, but have not yet received a reply from the Canadian Government," the Chancellor said.

Canada receives 4'.35 per cent. the struggles of a few years ago. He said that a breach with Russia was bound to have a reaction on the other countries if made suddenly, before the world realized what was the provocation and could place responsibility on the right shoulders. Whatever the provocation, he continued, a sudden breach could not occur without a repercussion on the European situation. Without retracting anything it had said in its note or otherwise about the conduct of Soviet Russia, the British Government's view was that Russia should be given another opportunity to form its conduct to the ordinary rules of international life and comity At the same time that the Foreign Secretary assured the House that lations would not be broken off, he remarked that there were limits the Government's patience, with gard to anti-British propaganda.

On their way to rejoin the train the Royal couple walked for a quarter of a mile down the main street beneath bowers of white roses held up by ranks of cheering school children. Other places visited were New Plymouth, Hawera, Wanganui, Feilding and Palmerston North, at all of which children, including Maori children at Hawera, were prominent in the popular receptions.

Parry-Thomas, Who Once Set a Mark of 1 72 Miles an Hour, Was Killed as He Piloted Huge Racing Car Along Beach at j^end^wine, Wales. Pendwine, Wales.--J. G. Parry- tonk Beacn, London.--Newfoundland's claim to ownership of territory in the Labrador peninsula is sustained in substance, with two reservations. This is the decision of their lordships of the judicial committee of the privy council, who were asked to define the boundary between Canada and Newfoundland in the Labrador peninsula. The dispute between the two dominions was referred privy council by both parties. two reservations, or rather points of detail, are first, that while Newfoundland claims the southern boundary of Labrador should be northward from Blanc Sablon .Bay to the 62nd parallel and thence westward along the parallel line until it reaches the height of land, which point is considerably to the west of the junction of the parallel with the Romaine river. Their lordships de-the boundary as following the parallel only as far as the river, thence turning northward to the watershed, which turns northward shortly west of the river. From the watershed it should run, according to the decision, north and west ilong the Atlantic rivers' watershed northern tip of Labi " The second reservation from the concessions to Newfoundland decision that Woody Island, a small island opposite the boundary between Quebec and Newfoundland at Blanc Sablon Bay, belongs to Canada and not Newfoundland. This island is not named on the majority of maps. The definition of the boundary places a considerable portion of the hinterland under Newfoundland's jurisdiction, because the boundary running north from the Romaine river to the northern tip of Labrador is many miles westward of the little strip along the coastline which, Can-! ada claimed, was all that Labrador was entitled to.

Miller (Lib., Halditnand), in a maiden effort, scored the budget as being "evasive," and that the Government was "lucky"!1; rather than good financiers. Hon. H. C. . Nixon (Prog., Brant, former Drury Prov. Sec't'y) labeled the budget as a "booze budget" and said the present Government "was reaping where the Drury Government had wisely sown." Improved conditions was stressed by both critics as "enabling factors" helping the Govern-o report as low a deficit profit ranging from 25.57 per cent, 1919 to 14.92 per cent, in 1926. MARCH 1ST-- Thomas, one of the greatest automobile racers, met a terrible death trying to break the world's automobile speed record. The driving chain broke as he piloted a huge racing car along the | sands of the beach at the terrific I speed of 160 miles an hour. The big t automobile turned three somersaults, and skidded about 150 yards. A wheel came off and the broken driving chain whipped around Parry-Thomas' neck, almost severing it. He apparently died instantly, and the body was so entangled in the wreckage that rescuers had to break one leg before it could be pulled clear of the blazing car. Parry-Thomas met his death in continuing the speed competition inaugurated some time ago between-himself, Malcolm Campbell, and Major H. O. Seagrave, who sailed for day en route to Day- , Florida, where he hopes to smash all automobile speed records driving a mystery car of British make which is said to be capable of a speed of 200 miles an hour. Parry-Thomas himself made a record of 172 miles an hour from a flying start over a mile course here last April. He went out to better it, using a 400-horsepower car with a 12-cylinder engine. Parry-Thomas himself had a large share in building the car which killed him. Difrcjssine the maehine before he started he said . "I call her 'Babs,' and in very truth she is my baby. I have nursed her, tended her, and she is a child of my creation." He was 42 years of age and a bachelor. Major Seagrave received news of the tragedy by wireless to the steamer Berengaria. He sent back the following reply: "I deeply regret to hear the sad Canada contended that Newfoundland was limited to the mere strip of land along the Labrador coastline which had been granted to' Newfoundland in 1763 for fishing facilities. This had bean transferred to Quebec in 1774, but in 1809 was again granted to Newfoundland. "Upon the whole, their lor.iship9» having considered the facts and Mgu-ments necessary in a matter ; such grave importance, have come to thej ^conclusion that tl.e claim of New-! foundland is in substance made out, but there are two points of detail tot be mentioned." In this way Viscount Cave, lord! chancellor of the judicial committee, announced the findings in the special! reference to the committee. Thej judgment runs to 10,000 words, con-| stituting a historic document of the! first importance. Markets-- TORONTO. Man. wheat--No. 1 North., $1.56% No. 2 North., $1.51 %; No. 3 North.', $1.43%.
