(By Guardian's ° ' ‘ In") SOUTHAMPTON, England, Nov, 13.—Prime Minister Ramsay M“. Donald reiterated his conviction that the 0111! way to solve the disarma- ment problem is to develop an in. tel-national licensing system go;- manufacture of arms in a. speech at Southampton tonight.

In emphati terms he expressed his adherence to the cause of peace while pointing out the difficulties confronting the government in deal- ing with the armaments question.

The government was‘ zealously Pursuing s peace policy. he said. The Foreign Secretary (Sir John Sl- mcn) had to sit around tables not with peace-loving peoples but. with representatives who “do not share our views and have grievances."

' "You can pipe but if they don't dant to dance you cannot compel them," he said.

“We have got to accept armaments which I work day and night to dl- minish," he said, adding he would accept no defeat in his efforts to ad- vance peace.

LABATT KIDNAP

(continued from Page l.)

Mr. Higgins testified there were nine different types of rebates and

allowances. These ranged from ordinary dlscoun for cash to the dist. of free goods by

appearance on a charge of murder. In another section of the Jail was a wrestler accused of a minor crime. Local police had no idea he was Frank Martoir, “the Virginia Bad- Man," wanted for murder in New York state. Only after he had en- gineered the escape of Harlton, himself and three others was his identity established.

A provincial probe followed. Court officers were discharged and the "cage" was burdened with more bolts. Since that time only Jail guards have . ‘ ’ kept behind its doors.

The steel cage is also the “death cell" oi the Middlesex prison. but the man charged with the daylight kidnapping on a public highway August 14 will face only the maxi- mum of 25 years in Kingston peni- tentiary ii he should be convicted. Many believe this will not happen. They point out that Labatt him- self claimed his abductor was s. big man, athletic, strong. Meisner is the dlrert opposite, thin, nerveless, partially blind.

But most details of Labattls story are still being guarded by the at- torney-general, Arthur Roebuck, who angered by the "lack of co-cp- eration between various police bod- ies and forces." took the case into his own hands and ordered silence. The Labatt family came out‘ of hiding the day that Meisner gave himself up to the Detroit police after notice had been posted that he was wanted. The prisoner claimed he had a perfect alibi and. probably will produce witnesses who saw him in Cincinnati the day the “snatch" was negotiated. lidirs. Labatt, wife of the abducted man and her three small children, dropped from sight for some time. It was found they had sailed for England. There they probably will remain until after the trial. Meanwhile the brewer himself is and night by the Pinkerton After Melsnar was taken

Melsnens case will not be tried

CHAIN STORES

The evidence was taken, said Mr. Gibson, during 1934.

manufacturers and allowances giv- en the chains for the advertising locally of specific articles.

“Manufacturers have expressed to us strongly their disapprvoal of all these allowances which go be- yond the point of a fair allow- ance for quantity purchases," said lifr. Higgins.

Statistics were not available to show the extent to which these n. cticea existed before the advent of the chain stores. Enquiries in- “ ‘ ’ ‘ .. . .. that the number. variety and amount of such allow- ances had grown with the devel- opment of the chain store system.

Quoting from a Bureau of stat- istics report Mr. Higgins declared that stores included within two groups with sales under $10,000 constituted 56-60 percent of all stores, but their share of total sales was only 9.51 percent. In other words, more than half of the retail merchandising stores of the Dominion had less than l0 percent of all sales as their share, and 4.8.40 percent oi stores did 90.49 percent of the total business.

Witness suggested that a uni- form price policy among manu- facturers towards their wholesale and retaiLcusiomez-s might, with- out lncreasing price concessions as a whole, aid the man in the hardi-

bed location. .

At this point E. J. Young (Lib, Weyburn) clashed with witness. the former demanding to know why Mr.,Hlgg1ns should suggest establishment of a uniform policy without increasing price conces- sions. Witness, said m. Young. had a duty to probe chain stores with a view to ascertaining the cause of these price spreads. He insisted that Mr. Higgins read to the commislcn the letter author- ising him to make the investiga-

on.

While that "mysterious docu- ment," as Hon. H. H. Stevens termed it. was being unearthed, m. Hlgglnsexplained his sugges- tion to mean that the advantages he urged for the independent re- tailer should apply to the stores located in widely distributed points. The country store. which stocked both quick-selling and slow-selling foods and which serv- iced their merchandise, ought to enjoy no less benefits in their purchasing than the chain stores situated in thickly populated lo- callties '

The letter of’ authority was then |ll ’ ’ and “ ‘ ‘ itself to be an ordinary "form-letter" appoint- ing Mr. Higgins tn operate in the service of the commission.
