0n Canadian Liquor Exports. ‘

(Special in Tho Guardian)

OTTAWA, Jan, 9.—'I_'ho result oi yesterday's smuggling conference was wholly negative so far as the United States’ desire for a ban to be placed upon Canadian liquor exports was concerned. Admiral Hillard, Head of the United States delegation, however, expressed the desire for friendiinse of spirit, regardless of what the outcome might be.

On behalf of the Canadian dele- gates it was ‘ pointed out that the difficulties which arise on. the border were incidental to the domestic poll- cies of each country, which were quite different. Each country had adopted its policy without re rence w that oi the other either prei dicaliy or other- wise whencc neither could be regard- cd as created in n. spirit hostile to the

i other. -

Be Long '

While Canada had in as muny ways as possible tried and more 0r less succeeded to minimize the evils of smuggling from this side, it was in- evitable that any agreement. to ban exports altogether would simply drive the business under cover, and extend its operations so widely as to make it still more difficult to deal with.

Another conference was held this morning, but not continued this af- ternoon, reception and tea at govern- ment house being substituted instead.

"Last evening the American delegates

were entertained at the country club.

The conference will be resumed in the morning, but it seems to be ob- vious that the result will be that the delegation from Washington will have enjoyed n very pleasant excurs- ion at the expense of the United States Govt. and that the delegates will goJmc-k with the impression that the Canadians while not. wholly re- sponsible in ussLsting ‘that country in endorsing the act, are s lot of Jolly good fellows which will help in main- taining international bonnc cntcnw.

OTTAWA, Jsu. 9. -— The liquor smuggling conference attended by Canadian and United States officials was “practically concluded today. fol- lowing which the American delegates took tea at Rideau Hall with their ex- celiencies, Lord and Lady Willingdon, and in the evening entertained the Canadian officials at a dinner.

‘It was apparent from the joint statement issued by the conference membersthnt while the United States continued to ask that clearances of liquor from Canada destined for the republic be discontinued, the Canadian officials are not prepared to recomm- end such n policy to the Dominion Govt. and that about all they will ad- vlsc is to remedy the defect in the system of exchange of information undcr the treaty.

'I'he Canadian Govt. will bo willlnz to consider suggestions for improve- ment in this respect and fool that hav- ing done everything possible to notify the United States preventive service concerning consignments bound for that country, it is then for the United states to stop illegal importation.

At the annual meeting of the Board of Trude which took place last night in the Board of Trade Rooms, the officers for the omitting your were elected; the proposal -thai. all business firms should. in their correspondence and advertising writ/l out tho name of the province “Prince Edward Island" in full. the question of lower potato freight rules to the west was discussed, and many other matters dealt with.

MucLeod, presided.

After the minutes of the previous quarterly meeting had been read and adopted, the president. Mr. S. A. MacLeod. read his report, which ap- pears in full on page 6 of this issue.

The adoption of the report was moved by Mr. E. T. Riggs. In doing so he expressed appreciation of the great service which the retiring pre- sident, Mr. S. A. MacLeod. had ren-

"dered the board and the province. His energy and fidelity in this mat- ger could not be too highly commen-

ed.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Harold Jenkins. M, n. who added his tribute of appreciation to that of Mr. Higgs. He was glssd to see that the remrl. was so optimistic in tone. This he felt was fully justified. Our ‘pro- vince had been _ .d.\vitli much‘ prospcrityin the t year.

l Mr. 8.1-‘. ltlzwPhcc. the Vice Pro- sident, also spoke of the devotion that Mr. MncLeod bad given to the work of the board. and the hours taken both from leisure and business which he had given up to it. Now when so many things we bad fought for seemed on the eve of fulfilment- n new car ferry. the widening of the gauge in the Murray ‘Harbour rail- way and other matters-ii. was a pity that Mr. MacLcod would not still be in the chair to see these things he hnd striven for so well carried out to their final position.

The motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously.

Mr. W. L. Higgins then read the 'Secrctaryfs_..report. It disclosed every satisfactory wndition of finances of the board. The surplus of the year was $05.73 anrl- the balance in the bank $276.82. The Board now had 1'74 members-w. net loss of l0.

Mr. W. L. Cotton. in moving the adoption of, the report, praised the excellent work of the Secretary, Mr. Higgins. He mcorporawd in this mo- tion, that a bonus be paid him at least equal to that of last year.

Mr. ll. V. Buutain seconded this motion, which was duly adopted.

Election of Ofllccrs

The next business was the election cf officers. The following are the members of the executive for i929:

While the senienoers were casting the ballots, Mr. James Murley an- nounoedto the hoard that the West- ern Union had reduced their cable rate t!) the Old Country to 4c per word for night letter rates. This permits n message of 50 words to be sent for $2.00. This would be effect- ive from Monday next v _ | , lilr. Keith Rogers brought to the 1 attention of the members the fact that» there were only six exclusive wave lengths allowed the Dominion of Canada under international-anamo- rnentn. C.‘ F. C. Y. occupied one of those. He felt that there was some -, danger that the present Federal Commission in charge of this mutter ‘ might take away this wave length

from C. F. C. -Y., abolish the station.

and establish one central maritime station. Such a step would be bv no means in the interests of the Prev- ‘ lnoe. ‘Such a valuable means of pub- licity for Charlottetown and Prince ~ Edward Island should not be Miner- diizd. He hoped the board would keep

Mr. it. L. Cotton than read the fol- lowing report; us convenor of the committee on Aerini transport:

Report of Committee fin Aviation

Your committee appointed at the last qunr, ‘ly meeting to take into conside at n s. communication in respect to Aviation from the Border Cities Chamber of Commerce, beg to submit the following report:

The communication from the Bor- der Chamber begins in these words: "We presume that Aviation is be- coming a. very live project with you as it is with us. There are such vast possibilities in aerial transportation the‘. none of us can properly estim- nte what the future will bring. But probably all of us are firmly of the opinion that there will be very great development in the next year or two in Canada." -

It is along this general line that your Committee has considered the subject and prepared its report.

Even in Canada the. Airmail has now passed well beyond the stage of spectacular novelty and the air-craft manufacturing industry is already creating fireworks on the New York stock exchange while Canadian com-

, ponies engaged in this industry are

not without their champions among Charlottetowws stock trading frater- nity.

it. was on December 17, i903 — twenty-five years ago last month — that the first heavier than uir marli- lnc rose from the surface of this rzlolae propelled by its own power and

guided by the hand of man. For five .

or six years thereafter progress was very slow though the daring pioneers were learning much from experience: but in 1909 many men's minds were turned uirward and advancement in aviation became too swifVto he cen- rsrally ignored. Prior‘ to and duriIlK the great war the great bulk of.’ de~ velopmcnt was directed along mili- taristlc lines. Following upon the declaration of peace the development of civil-aviation in Europe was at once taken up energetically-the sir- mindcdness of the population there being naturally more advanced sm- ongst those who had seen‘ so much of thefevcrish activity of the air forces during the latter years of the. great struggle. Lindburgk wonderful flight fired the imagination of the whole people of tho Unit/ed States and from the date of his trans-Atlantic suc- cess tremendous lumps in wrlfll transport in the great republic have been made. '

The‘ Canadian Government has been using air craft quite consider- ably in an increasing variety of ser- vices ever since the war but the in- auguration of Flying Clllbll in mlllll! of the larger cities of Canada durinil last summer and the great eflilflllslm‘ of nir transport of mails last year on the general policy of contract with commercial operating companies. led to a great stimulation of interest throughout the Dominion and an sc- tive demand for both machines and licensed pilots. ~

Data in Aviation

The following data may be of in- tereet.

Less than 400 commercial aircraft were produced in the United States in the year i921. in i927 twenty- four hundred were nwduwl- The i928 production was expected in iot- al fifteen thousand.
