LONDON, Oct. 28-(By George Hambieton, Canadian Press ‘Staff Writer)—“'l‘his is no party victory," declared .R.t. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader tonight. “It is an emphatic declaration by the people as a whole in favor of national cooperation in order to restore the fortunes of the country.- Democracy has justified itself in the most triking fashion and the patriotic instincts of our people h ve been revealed in all their strength."

Mr. Baldwin tonight was speaking not merely as the leader of the Conservative Party, but as the second-in- "command of a Government which had just amassed the most overwhelming ynajority the House of Commons has seen in modern times. With the results of yesterday's gen- eral election virtually complete the National Government -Conservatives, National-Labor and NationaLLibeI-ap. was ‘ilssured a majority of 500 over all other parties com-

MONTREAL. Que, Oct. zit-The lie direct was given today by George W. McCollum, of Toronto, General Secretary of the Canadian Electrical Trades Union, to witnesses who had declared that he.had encouraged destruction by strikers of property of Montreal Light, Heat and Power Consolidated. w

Taking the stand in his own de- fence, McColium swore he had not aided any men in commiting any acts of sabotage. That he had been ignorant, until certain linemen con- fessed in court, that many mem- bers of his union were u nnected with the destruction although his suspicions had been aroused in one or two instances by the nature of the sabotage.

Among the propositions discussed were a bonus on. fish caught by shore fish- ermen, an increased bounty, relief measures, an emergency fall lobster season for the eastern shore, and a government grant of $5,000 to the organization.

"Joint action, joint benefits, and Joint responsibility," were called for as the keynote of co-opcratlou by Rev. Father James Boyle, of Havre, who remarked that "people outside are looking on. We must not fall.’ l-Ie described a new movement inhis own colnmimity, where men hsd gone to the woods for lumber, and were finishing a building, co-opera- tlvei! built, for the canning of fish and other produce.

Plans for effective financing of the organisation, and improvement of living conditions among the shore settlements were outlined by A. B. MacDonald of the S. F. X. Univer- sity Ertension Department.

MESSAGE’

lnriylnv

SEAHAM HARBOR, Durham, Eng, Oct. till-Prime Minister J. Ramsay MacDonald was re-elected to the Irlouse of Commons from this constituency. He was in a three- cornered fight running against Wil- liam Coxon, a. school teacher and the regular Labor candidate, arid George Lurnley, a Communist.

The Prime Minister's majority was 5,951. , ‘

In the 1929 election, running as the Labor candidate against a Con- servative, s. Liberal and a Commun- ist, he polled 35,615 votes for a ma- jority of 28,794.

(Through an error in the Canad- ian Press Report in yesterday's Guardian, Mr. MacDonald's oppon- ents were described as "Conservative and Communist." Naturally, there was no Conservative pposltlon to the Premier, as the Conservative party in Great Britain is unanim- ously behind the National Govern- ment. A similar unfortunate mis- take occurred in yesterday's Patriot, in which Rt. Hon. was described as a National-Liberal, whereas, of course, he was a Na- tlonal-Labor candidate.)

Volcano Gases Cripples Plane

(Canadian Press)

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 28—A story of e. perilous airplane Journey over the Aniakchak volcano in the centre of the Alaskan Peninsula during its eruption last May is told by Father Bernard It. Hubbard, Jesuit priest‘ and head of the geo- logy department of the University of Santa Clara, Cs.lif. He has ar- rived here from an Alaskan ex- pedition.

"The only way we escaped what appeared to be certain death," he said, “was by the pilot making a power dive and shooting downward slantwise outside the danger zone.

"As we flew past Anlakchak crat- er. which was sending up billowing clouds of smoking gases, We could l see only the base of the mountain, we began to notice very strong gas fumes when we were forty miles away.

"As we flew 2,000 feet above the highest point of- the rim, the fumes from the crater began to af- fect the engine. The plane refused to climb and began to lose air speed.

“Our ship turned tail on us and was sucked toward the erupting are; by the rush of cold air to- ward the volcanok Vents. Henry Blunt, the‘ pilot. and Al Monsen dived straight downward and with the speed thus gained righted the ship and shot awsy from the crat- cr- We came to a landing on Mesh- ik Lake, l5 miles from the rim."

Father Hubbard explained that the Aniakehak disturbance was the greatest eruption of modern times. The volcano is thc largest active. crater in the world, he said, and is visited by few except scientists. During the May erupiion. ashes were found on Bristol Bay. 200 miles sway.

Socialism.

The Daily Telegraph says the_ "nemesis of political folly and weak- ness has been swift and deadly. Leaders who betrayed their trust and the party that upheld them have been taught a lesson that will long be remembered." The newspa- per adds that the National Govern- ment has a majority far beyond its expectations and that the road is open cor enterprise in setting the country on its feet and leading it into a new path of progress and prosperity. “The result is an ab- solutely shattering blow to Labor," comments the News Chronicle. “There has been nothing like this landslide since i918."

The Daily Mall attributes the Government victory to a growing enthusiasm in Greet Britain for tariffs and the determination of the working class to deal a death blow to "predatory Socialism."

The Daily Express says the Social- ist party is wiped out by the elec- ticrn result.

"The country has delivered its Judgment in no uncertain terms up- on the men who ran away,” com- ments The Times.

WASHINGTON, D. 0., Oct, 28- Astonishmcnt and optimism com- bined tonight in United States of- floialdoxrfs reaction to. Great Brit- ain's political upheaval.

The National Government had been expected to receive firm sup- port’ at the polls. The landslide which left the Opposition with scarcely a handful of votes in the House of Commons brought expres- sions of amazement here. The over whelming support led to optimist- ic statements that the Government was now in a position to deal posi- tively with Britain's economic diffi culties.

While there was no formal oom- ment at the White House or the State Department, the overwhelm- ing support given the National Gov ernment was received with the ut- most grutltication. tempered only by speculation over the ultimate position of Mr. MacDonald.
