in an address here he would not be
swerved froth the course he fixed in
his Barry’s Bay, Ont., ‘reformer re

Czech Trouble Not Settled
Berchtesgaden—High Nazi sources
reported Konrad Henlein, leader of
Czechoslovakia’s Germanic minority,
had departed for home bearing Adolf
Hitler’s rejection of an important part
of Czech peace plans but carrying
new counter-proposals. Hitler was
understood to have rejected the port
of Premier Milan Hodza’s ‘“plan No.
3” calling for a three-month truce in
Czechoslovak-German negotiations to
permit passions of the contending
parties to cool.
Manion States Party
Tariff Policy
Charlottetown—For the first time
since his election as National Conser
vative leader, Hon. R. J, Manion in
the concluding address of his brief
Maritimes four set forth the party’s
tariff policy as he conceives it “I
belive in the principle of reasonable
protection for all industry, for labor
and for farmer,” said Dr. Manion.
“There will ,be compensating adjust
ments for the east and west.”
Hitler Wants Peace Report Says
Paris—The Rightist newspaper, Le
Journal, published an interview with
Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler quoting
him as saying France and Germany
have more reasons for reciprocal ad
miration than for hate. The reporter
says Hitler told him that national as
sociations is impossible without peace.
King Invited Hepburn
To Study Waterways
Answer by Prime Minister Macken
zie King to Premier Hepburn’s fam
ous “squeeze play” letter bearing on
the St. Lawrence construction releas
ed here is a gentle,.studiously drawn
communication compared with the
one it answered. It doe? not accept
the latest proposals of Secretary Hull
and it does not repect them. It pro
poses to follow the same procedure as
successive Dominion and provincial
governments have followed with “re
markable continuity of procedure”
and study the very technical problem.
So Mr. King in his letter extends an
invitation for a joint technical exam
ination and discussion between fed
eral and provincial officials. Mr.
King says he will be glad to name his
men at any time and he hopes Mr.
Hepburn will do the same. While
this is the crux of the letter, there is
the definite implication that when the
Dominion Government has a policy to
elaborate it will do it in Parliament,
the body whose ratification is essent
ial.

Teeswater Invents Radio Parts
Mr. Leslie Thompson, a son of Mr.
and Mrs. R. W. Thompson of Tees
water, has earned for himself a high
place in the field of radio. Leslie
lives in Philadelphia and for some
years has been working with the
Philco Radio Company. A small
workshop in his basement provides
him with the necessary to follow his
hobby, radios. And from this lowly
workshop has come what is claimed
the greatest invention since radio it
self. It is, in short, a remote con
trol idea for stationary radios. By
this new gadget one can sit in an easy
chair, or lie gomfortably in bed and
by a slight motion of the fingers
change the station, control the tone
or shut off the radio in the living
room downstairs.—Teeswater News.
