PREMIER KING ON QUEEN'S ENDOWMENT Says That Queen's Is An Asset Which Canada Should Develop. The Queen's Endowment paign, which has just been launched, hag attracted the attention of many men prominent ju the business and Tecetved dafly at the "the laying from letters Fibs Kt. Hon. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada; Arthur Meighen, Leader of the Conservative Party;' and Robert Forke," Leader of the Progressive wParty, indicate in what esteem Queen's is held. Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King writes as follows: "The Universities of Canada have an indispensable part to. play in the upbuilding of the Dominion. It is to them we must largely look to cher- ish and make available for all who can profit thereby, the intellectual heritage we have received from our fathers, to widen the Present bounds of knowledge and research, to train our young men and women in clear, honest and tolerant thinking, and to achieve a national unity based upon understanding and upon a diversified but harmonious national civilization. It is a part which they are playing with ever increasing effectiveness and for which they should be given pub- He encouragement and adequate means, "In this work, no University has had a more distinctive or more in- dispensable share than Queen's. Its impress alike upon its graduates snd upon the national life has been mark- ed and individual. I therefore wish you all good fortune in your endeavor to maintain and 'expand its" useful- Hess. Queen's is an asset, which Canada should develop to its fullest capacity." Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen says: "In its appeal for funds which seems necessary at the present time, Queen's University should command a wide and generous support. No one intimately associated with the many phases of Canadian life--its educa~ tional and. professional activities as well as its business enterprises ---- can fail to appreciate the contribu- tion made by Queen's to all that Can: ada has accomplished.

RECOUNTS DIFFERRNCES Between Hise! al fe Mis ter of Customs-Committee Adjourns Till March 16. Ottawa, March 4.--With Dugald Donaghy of North - Vancouvey pro- testing agains{ what he called 4 "dirty - political - trick," Inspector Duncan gave evidence at fhe cus- toms probe late yesterday 'afternoon of 'his differences with Hon. G. H. Boivin, Minister of Custbms. It was Inspector Duncan who = made the now-famous report on the customs port of Montreal. He explained first how, in 1924, he Wad been lent by | thé Department of Finance to' the Commercial 'Protective Association to investigate smuggling. A memo that he had received notified "him that he was not to take cgart action without ;authorization from Ottawa. He thought the thing "ridiculous" and protested to Premier King and to Hon. J. A. Robb, Minister of Fin- ance, "Ignore the whole thing," observ- ed Premier King, "put in jail any smugglers you get." "80," Mr. Duncan informed the committee, "we started out with that intention." Mr. Duncan then told that on November 27th, in the year follow- ing, Mr. Boivin instructed him to proceed to Montreal and report on whether there was sufficient evi- Sout to Janity the dismissal of J. rrr ation a rs Mr. Duncan a there was men- tion of the House resolution of Hon. H. H. Btevens. Mr. Duncan related a subsequent conversation with Mr. Boivin. In this conversation, he said, Mr. Boivin had charged him with giving Information to Mr. Stevens. "He sald he would expose me to his col- leagues," added Mr, uncan. Mr. Duncan informed the committee that he had told Mr, Boivin the charge was untrue, ag---- Tells of Withdrawal. Inspector Duncan read a series of telegrams between himself and Mr. Boivin in which Mr, Duncan protest- ed strenuously against a statement reported to have been made in the House by Mr. Boivin. "From this moment I withdraw from the .in- vestigation," wired Inspector Dun- can. Mr. Boivin replied hoping In- spector Duncan would . reconsider and asking for allowance for his own difficult situation: "My decision is final unless retraction is made on |® the tléor of the House," Inspector Duncan wired back. "Is my rew.rd for doing my duty to be slandered in the public press from coast to coast through a state- ment made by an hon. minister of the Crown on - thé floor of the House?" Three days later, Mr. Boivin wired back: "When I have seen you, will endeavor at first opportunity to correct that portion of my remarks in the House to which you refer." Mr. Donaghy warmly protested againet production of the telegrams. He called if & "mare's nest" and a "dirty political trick." There were angry interchanges in the committee. Mr. Boivin under- took to clear up the "grievance" which Inspector Duncan held against him..

Regina, Sask:, Mdreh 4-- It° has been decided by the Con- servative Assocjation of this city not to oppose: Hon. Charles Dunning in 'the bye<eléction to be held-on March 23. It was felt that the party had absolutely no chance to defeat the Liberal leader of Saskdtchewan, who on Monday' was sworn in as min- ter of ré&ilways and canals in the Magkenzie King 'cabinet. Mr, Dynning would welcome an élection, but he is not. to have the Opportunity of showing his great strength at the polls in a federal contest at this time.

Motherwell will leave for Regina to take part in the byelection which will contitm Hon. Charles Dunning in his ap- pointment ag minister of railways. Hon. ¥. BE. Tolmle is already in Regina calling the dress parade of he Conservatives. ; "There are several cogent reasons why the blue general staff is hesitat- ing over the.Regina attack.

The promise is definite and certain, Mr. Meighen, on the other hand; has merely promised that the work will be done if three million' dol- lars will complete it. 7" A Mr. Dunning himself would pre- fer a contest. It would provide him the sort of battle ground he likes and would enable him to make pro- nouncements on public questions that would place his position square- ly before the Canadian people. As a newcomer in the house he would be diffident in occupyifiz a large space in Hansard for some littlé time, but on the platform and hustings of his own riding he can discuss public questions fully and freely.

Toronto, March "4--Yesterday af+; ternoon's session of the Ontario Leg+ islature was largely routine with iittle debate or discussion. The most interesting feature was the introduc< tion by Col. J. A. Currie (Con. South East Toronto) of a bill which would -| provide for Government control of the sale of beer in municipalities which voted in favor of such control in the last plebiscite. The bill also provides for the sale of beer and na~ tive Ontario wines in standard 'ho. tels, clubg, rajlway trains and 'boats where it was sold previous to 1919, Another bill introduced by Col. Currie would = amend the Ontario Temperance Act to bring it into con~ formity with the Government control bill should the latter pass the House. This brings two liquor. bills be« fore the Legislature, J. A. Pinard (Liberal, Bast Ottawa) having se- cured first reading of a bill which ° would increase the alcoholie content of heer allowed to be legally sold in Ontario from 4.4 to 10 per cent. It is probable thatsboth bills will be subject to a decision by The Speaker as to whether a private member can introduce such legislation. The Gov- ernment is not in any pox gto e bi pot give the Ontario: Church "Property. Commission power to grant congre- gations another vote on the question of union when they have decided that a previous vote was fllegal or { irregular.

Raney, Progressive leader, gave notice that today he would ask the Speaker to make a decision as to whether questions can be asked the Government concerning matters of policy. He sald he would support - his point with argnment. . Several bills, mostly consolidating present laws were passed through the committee stage and several pri= vate bills were introduced. 3 Cabinet Vacancies : Premier Ferguson declined to make afly comment when asked if he had reached any decision concern ing appointments to vacant Cabinet posts.
