QUEBEC CHIEF JUSTIOE IS TO INVESTIGATE Into the Customs' Dy + == Will Hold Hearings Throughout Canada. Malcolm George For- | The settlement which Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the mx- chequer, made with M. Calllaux, the French Finance Minister, received strong censure, especially from Phii- lip Snowden, who declared that Mr. Churchill was a very poor hand at striking a bargain and had to crumple up every time he came into contact with representatives of European debtor countries. No action. was - taken by the House on the settlement, but the debate was the frankest treatment this question has had in Parlia- ment. The most important speech was: that of Mr. Churchill in wind- ing up the debate, in which he re- plied to Secretary of Treasury Mel- lon's latest, statements about the debts. The Upited States Secretary of the Treasury was reported to have said that Britain borrowed a large pro- portion of her debt for purely com- mercial, as -distinet from war pur- poses, to meet commercial obliga- tions matumng in the Unfted States to furnish India with silver, to buy food, to re-sell to the civilian popR- lation * in order to maintain ex- change. United States loans to Bri- tain, adcording to Sectetary Mellon, were not 80 much to provide war supplies as to furnish sterling for home and foreign needs and to save Britain from borrowing from her own people. This, declared Mr. Churchill, was 4 real and complete misapprehen- fision of the facts of the case. ~ Bvery.cent was spent under - the 'stipervision of the = United States Treasury in what was, according to their view, the furtherance and pro- TH seeution of the war, ASKED COUNCIL FOR GRANT POR THE FAIR R. J. Bushell Appeals For Co- operation of City For An- nual' Exhibition. Mr. R; J. Bushell, the hustling manager of the Kingston Industrial Fair, 'appeared before the members of the City Council, on Monday night and made a strong appeal for financ-- fal help for the big show this fall. The matter was referred to the fin- ance committee. Mr. Bushell pointed out that the fair association was up against it, as a result of the wet weather last fall. He realized that many de- mands were made on the council but he felt that something could be done to help the association in its en- deavors to boost the city. He sald that Frontenac county was giving a grant of $500 and asked that the city grant a similar amount. Mr. Bushell sald the association was $4,000 "in the hole," as a re- sult of rain on the two big days last year. The 'city provided the grounds, but it was a great deal | harder to finance the exhibition now, than twenty-five | time bad now sees . ie years ago, "Belleville got your circus and Belleville will get your fair toa, it the association does not get your co. 'operation," said Mr. Bushell. Mr, Bushell stated further, , that he 1d been working hard to 8 success, but he felt that the not | Sargent was called 'extension on Bagot street, and the make the *s04v0s0ssass returning officers for the election.
