“Generosity” Of Brewery Lauded
In Loaning Horse
Agricultural Mfiiéter Credits His Predecessor, The Late‘ Hon. Mr. Lea, With Putting Through Brewery Stallion Deal.
Acceptance of the "generosity" of a Montreal brewery in loaning a stallion to the Province for breeding purposes, without too closely looking into the motives which prompted the offer, was in- timated in the Legislature last evening by Hon. W. 1!. Dennis, Minister of Agriculture, as the at- titude which he intended taking in connection with a transaction which has aroused a considerable amount of interest and speculation throughout the Province.
Mr. Dennis outlined his depart- melws policy in this and other Nee-rd-5 during the course of the budget debate.
"In reizard to our stallion pro- gram for the Province." he said, “I would say that when I came into office I found that our iatc lamented Premier and Minister of Agriculture had made arrange- ments with the Dawes Brewery that the stallion "Starlight Laget" would be brought to the Island

“First. that this low service charge would attract ii. class of dams from which we could not ex- pect the high quality of off-spring that we should obtain from a horse of such outstanding qualities.

PEACETITTTUUGH THE LEAGUE
Britain To Seek More Drastic Sanctions But Will Act Only With League.
(C. I’. By Guardian’: Special Wire)
GENEVA, April 15. — Belief that Italy, flushed by new military vio- torles, intends eventually to demand a peace implying Italian dominafi of the entire Empire of Emperor I-lalle Selassie was expressed tonight in League of Nation: circles.
Peace in Africa — under League ausplces—-seemed doubtful and dis- tant. after the Italian delegates for peace conversations arrived here without instructions from Premier Mussolini on a basis for settlunent.

Abandoning his hope of getting the Italians and Ethiopians around a, table for negotiations, Salvador de Madariaga, the League's peace representative, received the Italian delegates in the new palace of the League in an effort to learn Rome's attitude.
With Dessye reported occupied by the Italians, Geneva saw increased dlfiicultles in negotiating peace "within the spirit of the covenant."
one opinion expressed here was that Mussolini is “stalling for time" and that before the annual torren- tial rains set in in Ethiopia he hopes to clinch his military tri- umphs by the occupatlon of Addis Ababa itself.
WILL NOT LIFT SANCTIONS
LONDON, April 15.—(C.P.-Haves) —Brltziin will refuse to lift sanctions against Italy until a complete or- mistice is effected in Ethiopia, auth- orized sources stated here tonight.
As Foreign Secretary Eden left for Geneva to attend tomorrow's meeting of the League of Nations conciliation committee of 13, it was learned Britain is ready to back a League majority favoring more drastic sanctions against Italy un- less tomorrow's developments at Geneva indicate an early armistice can be reached.

Rescuers Begin New Approach To Mine Prison
Ontario Offers-A-ssistance In Men And Equipment. Meagher Shaft Route Abandoned.
(C. I’. By Guz1l‘di:ui’s Special Wire)
MOOSE RIVER, N. S., April l5—Siill clinging to a faint hope of rescuing three Toronto men trapped in the Moose River gold mine, provincial mining officials began a new approach tonight. A vertical shaft was begun 25 yards away from the old Meilgher shaft. Blasting their way through 20 feet of solid rock, engineers in charge hope to meet up again with the sloping Meagher shaft at ll level unaffected by cave-ins which have already halted work three times in that approach.
From that point men will continue excavating the filled in llleiighcr shaft in the hope of reaching the 141-foot level of the mine before Dr. D. E. Robertson, H. B. Magill ard Alfred Sczidding die from exposure, hunger and thirst if they still live.
RETAIN CONFIDENCE
Although their hopes of seeing their husbands alive were severd! tested late this afternoon when a third disturbance threatened collapse of the Mcagher shaft, Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Maglll said tonight they had not lost. confidence the miners would reach them alive.
The man who had driven them here from Halifax had been incorrect in saying they had abandoned hope, they said. They were confident the new plan would be successful.
Meanwhile, the government of Nova Scotla was preparing for A prodigious attempt to open the operating shaft which was blocked b1
the cove-in Sunday night. _
