Road Transport Parley Dec. 14 Manion Announces Tentative Date for Dominion-Pro- vincial- Meet--Con~ sultative Only Ottawa.--The date for the Dominion. Provincial conference on road trans- port has been tentatively fixed for Thursday, December 14, it was an- noynced by Hon, R. J, Manion, Minis: ter of Railways and Canals, in'a state- ment issued over the week-end, The Minister emphasized that regulution of road transport was the egclusive ) jurisdiction of the provincial authori ties. There was no intention on the part of the Dominion to invade the jurisdiction of the provinces. The conference would be entirely consultative and advisory in character, It was not expected the conference would last more than two or three days. "The proposed conference arlses out of the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Railways and Traus- portation," Dr. Manion declared. "These suggested that the "federal and Provincial Governments, in co-opera- tion, should examine the question with a view to equalizing the conditions un- der which road and rall transport is carried on, and to secure uniformity of action throughout the Dominion. Subsequently the suggestion came before the Dominion-Interprovincial Conference in January last, at which time it was agreedl that when the data to be supplied by the provinces had been assembled and studied a con- ference of the appropriate officials of the Dominion and the provinces should be called to consider the whole situation. : Among the subjects of digcussion will likely be the question of publica- tion of rate schedules, Insurance, standardized statistics, working condi- tions and saety restrictions, as well as uniform licensing. Consideration is, it is understood, being given the question of receiving representations. In view of- thé fact that the conerence will be consulta- tive and advisory only, and that deci- sion upon the questions discussed must in the final analysis rest with the provinces, wher) full representations may be made by all interests concern- ed, it is likely that written communi cations only will be received, with the understanding that sufficient copies of these be made available to permit of their being forwarded to the provinces for consideration in advance of the as- sembly. It is expected that the confer- ence will be open to the press and public. ' 2 Archaeologist Holds Earthquakes Caused - Fall of Jericho New York, Nov. 19.--The opinion that the walls of Jericho fell and that the waters of the River Jordan were dammed for the Israelites to cross-as a consequence of a timely earthquake, is held by Sir Charles Marston, arch- aeologist, who has beefi- directing ex- cavations in Palestine and Mesopo- tamia since 1925. J Sir Charles talked with ease to-day _ of the incident of 3,330 years ago when Jericho's walls collapsed. "It has been my purpose,' he ex- plained; "since amassing sufficient means, to ascertain by excavation in Bible Lands how far the early history of the Old Testament is correct. "Concerning the 'quake, may I point out that the fact that earthquakes caused both of these incidents--the tall of Jericho and damming of the Jor- dan--is suggested in Psalm 114, which reads: "The sea saw it and fled, The Jordan was driven back, The mountains skipped like rams, "Phe little hills Tike lambs." ---- ee ee Hunter With a Bark .

Sir Arthur Steel-Maitland, former British Minister of Labor, Here for a few addresses before proceeding west, after a stud? of conditions in the United States at the invitation of he Rockefeller Foundation, Sir Arthur, who is recognized ag an authority on labor and ecomonics generally, un- hesitatingly expressed his belief that conditions were much worse in the United States than in Britain, He pointed to the system of un: employment insurance - in Britain, which is to be widely extended, and to the drop of unemployed figures by half a million in the year. The Uni- ted States, he explained, "had reach- ed a peak of prosperity much higher than ours and the higher one climbs the harder one falls, "Besides, our gystem of unemployment insurance with all the abuses that once accom- panied it, has provided a rock bot- tom beneath which the people can- not sink.
