A meeting last evening attended by residents of Bonshaw and sur- rounding districts una.nim_nvsly adopted a resolution "most earnestly and humbly craving their represen- tatives in Parliament and all others interested in this matter to make an honest and earnest effort to secure the site of the proposed na- tional park at Bonshaw"

Short addresses were made by Messrs. J. W. Mitchell, New Domin- ion: Mnloolm McNeili, st. Cather- ines; Malcolm Mcxinnon, Churchill; Lcughlin Mlcliinnon, Canoe Cove; D N. McKay. M.L.A., Springfield; W. F. A. Stewart, M.L.A., Stratu- gartney.

The resolution, the text of which is given in full below, was moved by Mr. J. W. Mitchell and seconded by Mr. L. T. Benton, Bonsbsw.

Mr. H. E. Crosby, Bonshaw, who Diesided. also spoke briefly

The meeting was held in the Court House at Bonshaw, and was fairly well attended

The following is a summary of the remarks made by each speaker:

Mr. J. W. Mitchell. New Domin- ion, in his remarks said that a complete survey of the Island was made and the Park site selected. He understood that it had been selected before the survey was made. "We shouid make a fight Rsainst having it go to Dslvay." he declared.

There are only two places for the park, either here or at Rocky Point. he continued Really, he said, he could notnsee what they wanted a National Park for any- how. The whole Island is a park. It would be better. in his opinion to spend money on improved roads and tourists resorts. Several mil lion dollars could be made here on tourists each year if the business was property handled.

He cited as an example the state of Florida, which he had seen when "you would not give 50 cents for the whole state", he declared. Ten million dollars should be spent here to develop the roads. He didn't see why the government lays back. It does not ask for enough when it goes to Ottawa and should wake up. he thought. He advised the meeting to draw up a resolu- tion and have all those present sign it and take it to the govern- ment.

"Here or Rocky Point are the only logical places for the park. It is no use putting it at Dalvay in a cranberry pateh", he finished. Mr. Malcolm McNeill, st. Cath- crines, said he though it was "a great thing" that the meeting was called, “Ask and you shall receive" was just as true in material as spiritual things, he thought.

He recalled a meeting in the same district is years ago when a railway was promised but never came. Everything seems to be go- ing north he said. First the rail- way. which is now paralleled by a paved road with a branch to Eus-

X, Slvlftzerluand, July 6—'l‘urkey and the soviet Union today ranged themselves in oppo- sition to Britain's demand that the Black Sea be kept open to all na- tlons in time of war.

Nor did the Turks favor the British suggestion that the straits should not be closed in case of a war-menace to Turkey until the move had been approved by a two- thirds majority of the oouncil of the league of Nations,

'I‘urkey,‘which has proposed rig- id limits on warship tonnage pass- ing through the Dardanelles in time of peace and wants the right to close the straits to warshfps ar- birarily in time of war, was dis- pleased with the British draft pre- sented today.

JAPANESE PLDTTERS T0 BE EXECUTED

17 Leaders of Bloody Coup Condemned To Speedy Death By High Military Court.

(A.P. By Guardian's Special Win)

TOKYO. July '1 —- (Tuesday) -

‘ A leaders of Japan's bloody

Ed). 28 coup were condemned to

speedy, death today by a high mili- tary court.

There 15 no appeal.

Hence the

:l!fmperor's proud army, probably will be shot within a matter of days.

With the powerful War Minister, General Count Juiohi Terailchi, presiding. the court also handed down sentences of life imprison- ment for five conspirators and or- dered prison terrm ranging from 13 months to ill years for 44 non- commissioned officers and eight civilians. -

Sentences of 2'! lesser offenders were suspended.

The charges were murder, rebel-

lion and disobedience in the com- mands of the Emperor himself. and by the punishment they meted out, the military leaders of Japan dis- closed the strength of their will to stamp out the cult of assasslnaion which hasvflourished among the army's younger officers since the Manchurian conquest of 1931. Heading the list of those senten- ced to die for the bloody incidents in which three elder statesmen were out down in their homes and Kel- suke Oimda, then premier missed death by minutes, was Captain Teruzo Ando, of the third infantry regiment. Ando, with Capt. shiro Nonaira, allegedly shared command of the insurrection. Nonaka killed him- self. to did Flight Captain Hishashi Kano. lmdo tried to do the name, but was merely wounded, and re- covered.

Actually, the powerful secret tri-

bunal made its decisions Sunday. But the announcements were with- held by the war office until early today, army leaders seeking a, time when, they believed. the news would be least likely to Isturb the pubiic mind. The special court martial was promulgated March 4 after the privy council had advised Ellnperor Hirohito to talke drastic means to restore public confidence after the uprising.

The powers of this tribunal were without precedent in Japan's peace- time hisiory. The prisoners were not even given the right to engage oounsel.

Here is the history of the epi- sode: ’

Shortly a."ter midnight the offi- cer-leaders of the coup maroiwd some 1,400 men out of their bar- racks in Azabu ward to the heart of the capital,

Armed with pistols, machine guns and swords, knots of officers appeared suddenly at the residen- cos of five leading statesmen, bent on assassination to paralyze the government.

Slain on the spotwere th1ee-dis- tinguished statesmen, Admiral Count Makota saito. Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal, Koreklyo Take- hashl, Minister of Finance and General Jotaro Watanmbe. Inspec- tor General of Military Education.

Premier Okada escaped death by minutes, indeed, for several days he was reported slain. But it de- veloped his intended assassins kill- ed his brother-in-law. Col. Denno Matsuo, who looked like him, and left his body lying in the show.

In disregard for Japanese tradit- ion. the rebels refused a direct oom- msnd to surrender from Emperor Hirohito.

However, the enlisted men at length heeded the governments BP- peals and promises of leniency, laid down their guns and their officers were seized and imprisoned.

Italy's Export Trade Cut By 75 Percent, League Is Told.

(C.P.-Envns by Gllardln-II’: Special Wire)

GENEVA, July 6—The oo-ordin- sting oommltiee of the League of Niitions auemhiy tode/y officially decided in call a halt on July 16 to the economic and financial sanc- tions imposed upon Italy last aut- umn.

The committee unanimously vot- ed a. resolution fixing that date for raising the penalties. The assembly is expected to accept the date.

Vlfhile the league acted thus to end Emperor I-Iaile selamie‘s hopes of assistance for Ttluopia, oonquer- ed by Italy, the Negus arrived in Great Britain from Geneva.

Before the committee's vote on the resolution, Augusto de Vascon- -oeilos of Portugal said sanctions had hampered Italy economically although they failed to prevent the advance of the Fascist soldiers to Addls Ababa. Italy's export trade declined more than 75 per cent during the sanctions siege, de Vas- conoellos reported, and in six months she lost nearly half her gold supply.

The League Council probably will remain adjourned until Sept. 18, and the next meeting of the as- sembly will be held three days later. Technically, however, the council is

still in session. It can be oonvuked by Britlzh Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden, its president, at any time he believes such action neces- sary. 1
