I am perhaps in -as good a position as any unofficial person to put forward a point of view, as I was Chancellor of the Ex- chequer at the * time when there was formulated a scheme of re- stricted export, commonly known as the Stevenson Plan, which many persons in America are condemning as the cause of great injury to the United States." Horne says the chief reason for the increased ptice of rubber is the enormous growth in the demand, especially in the United States. "Is it suggested that because of the price of rubber Americans are being compelled to deny themselves any. of the ordinary necessities of life, or, indeed, any of its luxuries?" he asks, and then goes on to draw a contrast between living conditions in Great Britain and the United States. ° The Townis.

SEELEY'S BAY GARAGE BURNS Buildings Neary W Were Scorched Residents Saved Village. Owing to the prompt action of the residénts and ths efforts of the volunteer fire brigade, a blaze that might have swept the village of Seeley"s Bay, was narrowly averted on Saturday night. The fire originat- ed in the garage of William Moul- ton. A car whi¢h was in the shop un- dergoing some repairs back-fired, when it was being iried out, A streak of flame shot across the garage and ignited a quantity of gasoline and oil, which exploded, making = the interior a r g furnace of flame. A car, which 'was parked near the door, was saved, but the building and the remainder of tHe contents ized 'on } all the wells in the vicinity were pumped dry. An expensive Delco lighting system, which had only re- cently been installed, was a total wreck. Buildings on either side, which incinde 'the post office, and 'a number of private houses were badly scorched, but other- wise there was no serious dam- age to other property. The build- ing is owned by W. ¥. Bracken, and the total extent of the loss has not been estimated yet.
