About a. mile oi the road was subgraded in 1938, Th5 work on about- another mile of the food. namely. from Rollo Bay Church to Cantwell’s gate was he. gun last summer and is not yet flnishcd. This compelled the people 1° "Bl/Bl by the detours for an- other summer anci fall, and as no work was done on the detours they became practically impgsslblg and the main road was wholly impas- sable.

"To make matters worse. and to‘ apparently deride the public, the Minister came up here a. couple oi weeks ago and stopped all work on the main road. This so exasperat- ed everybody that it was threatened to call the people oi the district to turn out and make the roads at least passable to Souris.

BIB INCREASE IN BRITISH

BY rmwm s. Jollnvsou Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, Nov. 23 --(CP)-- Great Britain's trade is booming. Gone arc the “dog day's,” ushered in by the world-wide depression of 1929 and latest statistics show the United Kingdom has tinned well beyond that elusive “corner." 1

Figure; released by the Board o! Trade for the first l0 months of. i937, disclose the British business has presented in eight. years. The improvement was 21 per cent over 1936 with almost every branch oi domestic industry sharing in the rise. Empire oouiit- ries playcd an important role in boosting the important figures.

During the l0 months Britain exported $497,880,279 62.489.401.- 395) worth of goods. This repre- sented an advance of 286.900.1399 for a similar period last year.

At the some time imports mounted to '£83’i,940,598, almost £i50,000.000 in excess of the 1936 Britain also exported goods to the value of £65.02‘1.748. against £50.269.673 a year ago.

The nation's huge rcarmament program was mainly Nlpflnfilble 101- the gIlBTp uptreud in imports as Empire and foreign market-S were topped for raw materials.

Non-ferrous metals, used prin- cipally in the iron and steel trades. alone accounted for an advance in imports oi about £96.600.000~

Unless a change takes place soon the Province will be over- whelmed with taxcs. It Ls just possible that the Minister in whose department all this waste and ex- travagance is going on is so well- to-do that he docs not care, but the poor people who havo_ to work for every cent they get, do care. The Minister makes frequent visits to Western Canadian cities, even to Chicago.

Order Exchange To Reorganize

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23—-The Roosevelt administration cracked down on Wall Street tonight, sewing an ultimatum that the stock exchange must reorganize

or be regulated much more dras- tically.

"Adequate safeguards“ must be thrown about this and other ex- changes, either by the marts themselves or the Securities Com- mission, said William O. Douglas. chairman of the Commission.

The surprise move recalled that Wail Strectcrs and new dealers have been hurling recrtminatioiis, blaming each other in part for the present business recession. Some administration advisers have ac- cused Waii Street oi “leaning on its shovel," while their critics have blamed restrictions imposed by the Government.

Statement Re Hali- fax Berlin Visit In House Today.

LONDON, Nov. 23 — Informed quarters tonight disclosed that Great Britain aml France planned to open bilateral discussions on tiic "German problem" follow- ing recent talks in Germany be- tween (IIHLHCEHUI lliiier and Vis- count Halifax.

The Foreign Oflice declined to confirm or dcny a. report that the British Government had. invited French Premier Chautcmps and Foreign Minister Delbos to come to London next week.

The report was strengthened, however, by developments in Paris.

Dclbns announced that he had received an account oi’ Lord Hali- fux's visit to Germany from the British Foreign Oilico and that Britain ‘and France would shortly “establish a common viewpoint" on the questions raised by llltler.

Sir Eric Phipps, British Ambas- sador to France, also called on Chautenips-—an unusual procedure as he customarily has dealt with the Quai D'Oivay (French Foreign Office.)

The probability oi Anglo-French conferences on Hitler's proposals opening immediately was strength- ened by the fact Dclbos was sched- uled to begin o tour of central Europe early in December.

It was taken for granted that IlC would want to thrash out the latest German devcfopments in the complicated European picture with France's ally before such a

trip.

Reliable diplomatic sources said Hitler liad asked Lord Halifax for three definite commitments, all‘ regarded as inacceptnble to Great Britain. They were reported 00 be:

l. British recognition that Cer- msny has "special interests" in central Europe.

2. Abandonment oi Britain's at- tcmpt to obtain a general Europ- ean settlement.
