Amalgamation of All Related Industries Proposed ,—- Experts Offer Remedy.

._____._ LONDON, February IT-Recon- sfruction of the British economic system from top to bottom ‘has been proposed in a new five-year plan for Britain which has just made its ap- pearance and which is certain to start the ferment of discussion in all parties as its implications are lmder- stood. ' Fully as drastic as Russia's ex- periment, the new proposal would transform the 1' British economic structure to enable ‘it to keep pace! with the Ilnited States and Russia]

gweits wired Mr. Schryer that they would play CIYStRLs in either Port E181". Sackville or Amherst. The ans- wer came a few hours later- that Moncton was the spot or get off the roost. This final ultimatum took the wind out of all Abbie sails, and the unanimous opinion was then, don't play at all-Give ‘em the champion- ship. However the team was to be considered, who to a man, stated that if the club would not send them, they would defray their own expens- es and play the game. The result ll, the Abegwelts will play Crystals in Moncton tonight for the Island championship and the right to meet the Amherst-Moncton Atllntics for the championship of the Cesitral N. 3., N. S., and P. B. I. section.

Needless to say each and every red-blooded. citizen in Charlottetown wish the boys folly good luck and hope for a well merited and ‘clean- cut victory over their Western op- ponents. - »

Referees for the Abegweit-Crystsl game tonight are: James Fallon, Newcastle, and George Duncan, Campbellton.

The examples of the United States Farm Board, the Canadian Wheat Pool, the Russian five-year plan and German reorganization are cited as showing the path to be followed in the future by Britain.

Military precautions were taken against the danger of a revolutionary mWement during, the tumultuous day- Rumors flew mound Madrid of l" "P1151118 in the army at Getafe, cutside- the Capital, but there was no indication this evening that the army was not entirely loyal. Madrid was quiet. The King's action was taken through the resigned Govern- ment headed by Gen. Damaso Ber- enguer. The defunct Ministry is con- tlnuing to function during the crisis, although its resignations were ac- cepted last Saturday, when the pres- ent critical political upheaval began.

Developments during the day in cluded the failure of Jose Sanchez Guerra to form a Cabinet suitable to King Alfonso. It was learned that the King objected to at least three men named as Ministers by Sanchez Guerra. Following the rejection of the Sanchez Guerra Cabinet, King Alfonzo, apparently fearing the plan to foroe him to relinquish much of his present authority, turned sharp- ly toward the extreme right wing political ‘ " 1n his efforts to form a Government and save his power. It was understood that Count H.0- manones, Liberal leader, who has played a vital part in the present impasse, telephoned King Alfonzo this evening, urging him to form a Government headed by General Ber- enguer. ‘This was regarded as an un- usual move, because the Berenguer Government resigned Saturday, when Count Rnmanones and other Liberal and constitutionalist ‘ ’ defin- itoiy informed him and the King that they would not participate in the general parliamentary elections which had been announced for nut month -the first since 1923.

FIRESIDE NIGHT

It's a safe bet that every radio owner on Prince Edward Island will be “listening in" ‘on the’ Abbie-Cry- stal game in Moncton tonight.

saunas CHANCES '

Wl‘h one of‘ their front liiitfi badly weakened and many others of ilic pcrsonellsuffering injuries, the lo- cal fans are asking-Have the Abcg- wcits got a chance? Of course there's always a chalice, mid if‘ the boys of Giiilspie, that dangerous band of puck chascrs, ahnt have nli'c:uly' iniulc hockey history on Prince Edward Island, let and hold the paoe they maintained in the recent memorable game in Summerside, they make that’ “chancc" a word in be remembered.

WILL HELP MEND BREAKS

Jack “Whackey" McEuhern, who needs no introduction to Maritime hockey and Frank "Duck" have answered the call, and will help fill the gaps on the ned and blue line. These boys can be depended upon in give their all in this last rend final hockey battle with the Crystals. Their work will be closely watched by home fans. ‘

THE ICE SPACE

Much has been said about {the Moncton ice space, which is about ten feet longer and seven feet wider than the local Forum. Many "duper- ters" think Abegwei n will be at a dis-, advantage on this “large’ surfac Have been frying to ascertain why. Some say “Chick" Gallant will be perfectly at home on flhis ice, but fail to mention any of the others. 0i’ course Gallant will he at homwso will Nicholson ‘d very much so. So fiir as the rest of iihe Crystals are concerned, the writer in‘ not far astray in stating that The Charlotte- tonians can skate every bit as fast and as fur as they can.

_BATTLE OF GOALIES

The game ‘tonight may develop in- to a battle of goailes—and if such is the case "Stull will be still stellar." The tougher the going the betfler Ray works, and home fans are pull- ing to see him stop the game of his young life.

THE GOOD 0L‘ DAYS

Tonight's hockey battle reminds the wrl‘ er of the Susscx-Abcgweit days, when the red and black clan fought to the last ditch and came out on top-Who knows but history is repeating itself. Snag Square- briggs says a victory tonight would be as good as a Maritime tlilc. Judg- ing by the interest manifest it looks ‘n me as if it is as important as an Allan Cup playdolvn.

A RECEPTION Win or lose the Abcgweits. one cf the gamrst tennis in Canada, should be tendered a civic reception on their

HockeyIn Eastern Section

OfP. C. League

Much interest has been shown in Intermediate hockey in Prince County for thc McLean Trophy and especially in the Eastern section, which comprises Bedeque, Albany, Cape Traverse and Borden. The lat- ter two teams have been having con- siderable argument as to where their games should be played on account of their open air rinks, They decided to play the final game of their sec- tion at Kensington. The game end- ed after sixty minutes of play in a tie. Then an argument arose as to whether they should play overtime. For the benefit of the public inter- ested the referees report which wes- the deciding factor in the decision of the President, Mr. Ralph Dodds, vice president, Mr. Preston Kennedy, and Secretray ‘Treasurer, Mr. Leo Wedge regarding the final game at Kensington, which is printed else-

where in this issue. is published herewith. Referee’: Report Mr. Leo Wedge:

Sec. 'I‘reas. of the McLean Hockey Association:

Dear sir:-In compliance to your request to report the Borden and Cape Traverse Hockey game played at Kensington on Saturday, Feb. l4, also other games which 1 refereed in connection with this section. The first game that I refereed that end- cd in a tie at the end of sixty min- utes was the Albany-Cape Traverse game.

After the sixty minutes had been

‘plyncd flio tennis advised me that

no overtime had to be played, that oach team took one point. A few days later Borden and Cape 'I‘rav- crse played a. league game which at the end of 60 minutes also was a draw and again no overtime. Both teams seemed contented with one point as before. Later a league game between Bedeque and Albany was a draw and no overtime. I was not pres out at this game. But to my know- ledge no_understanding came Ls- fwecn the two teams regarding over- time. Cape Traverse claiming that a tie gave them one point to the good. Borden had not informed me as to their idea of points. After Saturday nights 60 minutes of hockey the Borden team wanted overtime. _'I'he Cape Traverse team refusing to play. After some argument I permitted Douglas Bell and Leyton Rogers to telephone for fuller information as to what steps to take, after having been away about ten minutes, Bor-

, den asked me to call the teams out

which was done and after about two minutes of play Douglas Bell re- turned taking his team from the ice. Borden then scored two goals and claimed the game. At the end of sixty minutes the score being 1-1.

This report-to the best of my knowledge is correct. If there was any other agreement regarding over time between teams it was unknown to me. At the first game which was a. tie in Albany I was informed by

one of the managers that your league

instructions to them were that at the end of 60 minutes _the game ending in a tie each team was to take a. point. Mr. Munroe, Manager of Borden team claimed that last night's game had to be played ov- crtime.
