Annual meeting

The 22nd annual meeting of the

Australian Section of the Imnpire Press Union was held this year in Adelaide on May 11. All office bearers were -re-elected, and appre- ciative references were made to the News Letter. A number of matters of domestic interest were discussed, including the question of Empire broadcasting. ‘

Australia md Ottawa

The increasing attention being

‘Paid to the question of monetary i>011¢Y which it is hoped will be dealt with at the Ottawa Confer- ence has excited, stabilise wholesale prices and influence currency movements cannot, of course, be ef- fective. Our national power is nm. lted and may be nullified to a ser- ious extent by actlon overseas. Im- perial action at Ottawa to stabilise sterling values, with a view to the interests of the whole Empire, pro- mises greater security for our ex- porting industries and may poss- ibly glve Australia s. considerable measure of the relief she desires through an honest agreement for reducing the burden of overseas -interest. The Australian delegation to Ottawa is a strong one, but no authority on currency capable of putting the case for the Common- wealth and of specially watching Australian interests has been ap- pointed, yet, but it ia now expected that the Government will do so.

Australian Delegates

Austra1ia'.s representatives at the

Conference were hidden farewell at the adjournment of the House of Representatives on May 24. The Prime Minister, Mr. Lyons. ex- pressed the hope that the Assist- ant Treasurer (Mr. B. M. Bruce) and the Minister for Customs (Mr. H. Gullettl, who will represent the Commonwealth, wolud have a com- pletely auccessfui mission, which he said. was possibly fraught with greater possibility than any other mission which had left these shores. He emphasised that the Ministry had the utmost confidence in its representatives and in their official advisers. The Leader of the opposition um. sculllm sale there was a great opportunity for .lego- tlation for reciprocal relations be- tween Australia and other parts. oi' the Empire. P

Messrs. Bruce and Guiiett res-

ponded, and both emphasized the significance and the magnitude of the task before the delegation.

Federal Finance Improves

Reviewing the year’s finances in

the House of Representatives, the Assistant Treasurer (Mr. Bruce) brought forth loud applause when he announced that there was ev- ery indlcation that the Common- wealth-Budget would be within the limits laid down bl' the Premiers Plan. Under that Plan a. deficit of £4,380.00() is allowed for, and Mr. Brllce added that this might even be slightly reduced. Allowance, however, must be made for the unexpected relief afforded by the

‘Hoover Moratorium, which saved Aiislfiui during the current year £4.030.000. and further relief was gained by the action of the British Govemment in suspending pay- ments of the sinking fund on Aus- tralla's war debt, amounting to £1,- 600.000 a year, for two years.

Empire Day

Empire Day was celebrated

throughout Australia with unusual fervor this year, probably due to the realisation by n large number of people of the increasing growth of anti-social and anti-British for- ces. The Federal Ministry has brought in new legislation to deal with agitators and other undesir- abies in accordance with an elec- tion promise made by Mr. Lyons. On the other hand, it is notable that at the recent State elections in Victoria there was but one single Communist candidate, and he lost his deposit.

Broadcasting

Great interest and considerable

satisfaction is expressed on all sides ‘with the composition of the newly appointed Broadcasting Commission, which is to control broadcasting throughout the Com- monwealth on similar lines to the British Broadcasting Commission. Mr. 0. Lloyd Jones, the chairman, is managing director of a large Sydney business, and is.weii known as a lover of music and art. Mr. .Herbert Brookes, vice-chairman, is universally respected for his worth in public life and business circles, and he has high musical and lit- eral qualifications. Professor Wal- lace, vice-Chancellor of sydney University, will bring light and learning to the board, while Mr. R. B. Orchard is noted for organizing ability in the entertainment world. The sole woman member, Mrs. Claude Couchmun, ia president of the Australian Womcn's National League. and has for many years

‘interested herself in public activi- 'ties of many and diverse kinds.

A Interest ln raliuea

A sign of the times is the re-

markable interest shown by nearly everyone in the political situation which has undergone some highly significant changes of late. The overwhelming victory of ine Lyons' Ministry has been followed by the dismissal of Mr. Lang, the rout of the Socialists in Victoria, and the discomflture of the Lang forces in New South Wales. The improved position in Queensland, where Mr. Moore and his henchmen have per- formed woudcrs ha the past two years, is an earnest of what can be accomplished in New South Wales under similar sane and bon- est leadership. The most notable factor is the inevitable rise in all stocks and shares, the increase in confidence and the greater indus- trial nctivlty. which always follow a Socialist defeat.

Not for two years have the peo- ple of the Commonwealth been so cheerful or faced the future with greater hope and confidence.

MONTREAL, July 24-(By The

Canadian Press)-The Mnntrcnl Stock Exchange gave an lrrcllliliii' performance Saturday with pivotal issues holding their wesk's gains fairly well. Gains and losses were evenly distributed throughout the list. Price revisions ranged from fractions to two points.

UNUSUAL HARVEST g

__-a

A Week in the “Mnriiimes", From P- B- -irnkin. un :rha lualbonrna Hmiir Australia)

Australians who have travelled

from Vancouver to Montreal, or from Montreal to Vancouver, must l D05 1111881116 1.311815 tl’lEy have geen Canada.

It is amistakewhichmanymake,

and Ana for which the Maritime provinces - New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. cannot forgive them.

For the last week a “Goodwill” party has been “talking Australia" to receptive audiences ln these far ! eastern provinces of the Dominion, and has discovered, or re-discover- ed, how important they really ere.

As is the case in Australia, they

are often overshadowed by the more populous and politically more pow- erful centres, but in the move for increased trade, they deserve our close attention.

We have been told by the con-

sumers themselves, that they like our canned and dried fruits, and our wine, and everywhere we have been, the people have expressed a. determination to use more of our products in their homes. But as this is an age of salesmanship, we must keep Australia constantly be- fore them.

Journey of Discovery

From Ottawa we started east-

ward on a. journey of discovery, answering questions about Aus- traila at. every town of importance on the route. We found several old friends, and made many new ones. At Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island, we met the Rev. R. Moorhead Legate, who came to Canada four years ago, af- l ter having spent 20 years in Aus- tralia, mainly in Queensland. He served in Palestine with the Aus- tralian Light Horse.

The provincial secretary of the

Island, or, aa he calls himself, the oillciai “leave it to George man,” is Mr. H. R. Stewart, who served in the Royal Air Force during the war with Mr. A. H. 0'!-lata Wood, of Melbourne. ` At Halifax, we met several old

friends of Mr. D. H. Ross, the Can- adian Trade Commissloner in Aus- tralia, and a bank official, who gets his breakfast radio music twice a. week from an Australian station. He is anxious to hear the kooka- burra record.

Land of Christmas Trees

On the way to Halifax, we pasa-

ed through the province of New Brunswick-a veritable land of Chrlstmastrees. It is possible to travel for hundreds of miles through these beautiful cone-.shap- ed firs, which we in Australia. see only in pictures.

We were just in time for the

harvesting of the "crop", which, by the way, had never been known to fail. For Christmas festivities in cities 1000 miles and more away, tens of thousands of the trees were being out and carted to the nearest stations, where special flat trucks awaited them.

The cutters receive up to 25

cents each for the trees, and in New York and Boston, where most of them go, they are sold for three and four times that amount. The Christmas tree harvest provides a considerable, and, in these days, much appreciated, addition to the yearly revenues of the landholders.

Objections have been raised to

wholesale cutting, but apparently there is no danger of the Santa Claus forests over becoming ex- hausted.

Strange Bock Formations

We broke our eastward journey

at Moncton, a railway jlmction town in New Brunswick, on the Petiteodiac River. The river runs for many miles through soft red eart‘h,sndasithasstidalrlseand fall of 40 feet, the water is any-. thing but transparent. ~ There is a. local legend that the

salmon which come in with the tide have been known to wear gog- gles.

A Canadian National Railways

,oiliciai drove us 30 miles down the ‘river to Cape Hopewell, where some of the most extraordinary rock formations in Canada are found. Several of them are shaped like giant mushrooms; st high tide they are islets, and at low tide they are tree-eluted projections oi earth and rock.

It is no doubt safe to say that

in the thought of the majority at- tending church yesterday vvas a prayer for the Inlperial Conference. Thai; is the one great subject en- gaging the attention of the people at this time. The United Church of

Canada is loyall- to the core and when the Government of Canada expressed the desire that on Sull- day, July 24th, prayers be offered for Divine guidance for those who are charged .with representing the several members of the British Commonwealth of Nations in the Imperial Conference, the leaders in our church at once approved of the suggestion.

Rev. Dr. Ramsay preached at

both services yesterday as Rev. Mr. Brown is on _holidays during July. The text in the morning was Matt. 6-11, "‘Glv`e ‘lls this day our daily bread." The sermon was _designed to lead the thought of the congre- gation-alorlg the true lines in the intercession for the temporal bene- fits. The text, which are the words of Jesus, show that it is our prlv- `

SERVICES

_ . 11889 and duty to pray for tem- poral wants, ft recognizes that all we need for our sustenance is the gift of God, that our prayer should be universal in its scope, a prayer for others and when we pray for the Empire we should embrace hu- manity at large for we are all made of one flesh and blood.

In the evening Dr. Ramsay spoke

from the text Matt. 'l-24, 26, “The two foundations," one built upon the rock, the other upon the sand with an exhortation to cast aside the flimsy things of life that may _look attl'l1cti\'e and beautiful for the moment but to build upon Jesus Christ, upon the rock of his truth, the only foundation that will with- stand the storms of judgment.

The service of praise yesterday

was par_ticularly attractive and pleasing, Mrs. Roy Cudmorc sang with fine effect “God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes" and at night Mr, C. F. Connell of the Royal Bank sang “Come to Him Now," and Miss Margaret Coffin of Montague was listened to with de- light as she sang beautifully “An- gels ever bright and fair."

Port of Halifax -

Halifax, the chief winter port of

eastern `Can'ada, is noted for its fine harbor-and its handsome wo- men:‘"' ' _ From the beginning of December

until the end of the winter, when the St. Lawrence is more or less frozen and is closed to shilllllns. ateamera coming to eastcm Canada from Australia and other countries make Halifax their destination. The winter unemployment problem, consequently, is not so serious there as it is in some other Canadian cities.

The harbor is exceptionally well-

equipped with wharves and grain loading facilities. and Halifax is urging just now that it should. get e greater snare of Ce.nada’s annual wheat shipments'

More than 37 per cent of the an-

nual export of Canadian grain, we were told, is shipped through Unit- ed States ports, while the infinite- simal amount of 0.1 per cent is ohippedlthrough Halifax. The port has elevator ,capacity to handle 20. million bushels of grain a year, and Halifax wants to know why the "solemn public pledges" made to the province are not being kept.

At the same time, the prairie

provinces are looking to the new outlet--opened for experimental shipments this year-on Hudson Bay, and further south there is a demand to-proceed with the deep sea shipping scheme on the St. Lawrence, which will enable over- seas vessels to reach ports some hundreds of miles "inland" from Montreal. This is one of the little problems which keeps the politici- ans busy.

Baso of Fleet

Durlngthe war, Halifax was one

of the busiest of the Empire's ports. It was used as the base of the At- lantic' Fleet, and from its wharves 300.000 soldiers embarked for Eng- land and France. The port. can ac- commodate the biggest ships afloat, and nowadays it is used as a ter- minal by the big Atlantic liners, which improve the shining hour by running' week-end jaunts from New`York.` In the season just clos- ed 10,000 tourists took part in these trips, and thus escaped for a few days the comparative dryness of New York. "

'I"he tourist trade in Nova Bootie.

has been one oi the few brilliant features of a slack year. Figures issued while we were in Halifax snowed that 254,000 tourists-a ra- 'oord--had visited the province in the -five months' season. Nature madajiovo Bcotia a holiday-mak- era' paradise. and the Bureau of Information, by the publication and alstrlnution or attraetlva booklets, is capitalizing sn asset which pro- mises to become more valuable ln the passing years.

` la halter rattle

` Nova Scotiaf and ill fact eil the Maritime provinces, claim that they are in better fettle than the remainder of Canada. They miss the extremes of great prosperity and dcephepresslon, they say.

minion aroqbooming, they are .ill-si

going along nlceZ_, but when their.

neighbors are depressed they can still raise an occasional smile. Prob- ably this is because they depend very largely on primary production, but at present. they are haviflg their troubles, too.

The steel and milling industries

of Nova Scotia are practically dead. and farming and fishing are by no means prosperous. In former years, trelnloads of men left the Maritime provinces at harvest time for tile prairie fields, but owing to the introduction of up-to-date ha.:- vesting machinery their help is no longer required.

And the fishing fleets have been

decimated by tho- -invasion of trawlers.

Colonel G. S. Hlllrillgton, the

Premier of Nova Scotia, told. us that about 20,000 men, equal to four per cent of tile total population of the province, were unemployed The provincial Government; is af- fording relicf through the munici- palities, and as many men as poss- ible are being given employment on road. works. The Govcmment will .not consider granting a. dole.

In Canada so far we have founr.

no spectacular methods of dealing with unemployment. Opposition members of the Commons are still urging the appointment of a board "to handle unemployment. relief."

TIGNISH

Mr. Ed. Brooks, and M.r. John

Hackley, Boston, Moss., spent a week in Tignish, tile guests of Dr. and Mrs. Johnston, and returned to United States Sunday. They were accompanied on their return trip by Mrs. Johnston, who will visit her daughter, Mrs. (Dl'.)_ Kratz, of Chicago.
