FORCE RUSSIA TO
SHOW EXPENDITURE
Litvinoff Finally Yields to De-
mand for Full Information.
A despatch from The Hague says:—
Cancellation of Russia's war debts on
the basis of the Genoa moratorium for
pre-war debts and interest was de-
cided on in effect at the meeting of
the Russians with the non-Russian
sub -committee. The Russians agreed
to lay bare their Budget showing ex-
traordinary and ordinary receipts and
expenditures. The decisions followed a
spirited set-to between the French and
the Soviet delegates, the former at-
tempting to reopen the Genoa agree-
ments, but Sa donikeff, the Russian
Commissar of Finance, asserted that
he entered the meeting determined to
*pipe out Russia's war debts.
M. Alphand of France outlined the
work of the sub -committee under five
divisions: First, Russian Government
loans; second, Provincial, railroad and
public utility loans guaranteed by the
Russian Government; third, similar
loans not guaranteed; fourth, treasury
bills; fifth, other public utilities.
M. Alphand demanded that the Rus-
sians submit details of the Budget
showing financial circulation,. which
Litvinoff attempted to' place beyond
the province of the sub -committee.
M. Alphand explained the details
necessary before a moratorium could
be declared, or other facilities for pay-
ment made possible. Litvinoff contend-
ed that a meratorium was granted at
Genoa, but Alphand insisted that the
Genoa decisions were not binding en

expert, Hilton Young, then intervened,

Litvinoff finally agreed - to produce
the information asked for, but de
mended time to obtain the figures. Itl
is estimated that the claims of for -I

INCREASE OF NINE
MEMBERS IN HOUSE
Prairie Provinces Will Have
Eleven More Representatives
After Redistribution.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
There will be 244 members in the
House of Commons after the next re-
distribution, according to the revised
papulation figures for Canada, which
have been given out by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics. This is an in-
crease of nine inembers over the pre-
sent House,
The distribution of the members
among the provinces in the present
House and after redistribution will
compare as follows on the basis of
these figures:
Nevi Present
I Province 'House House
Quebec .,. 65 65
Nova Scotia . , 14 16.
New Brunswick 11 11
Prince Edward Island, 4 4
Ontario ...... .,81 82
Manitoba 17 15
Saskatchewan • 21 16
Alberta .. 16 12
British Columbia .... 14 13
Yukon 1 1
The chief increases in membership
axe, as were expected, in the Prairie
Provinces, which will send eleven more
members to Parliament after redly
tribution, than they do now, The de-
creases are in Nova Scotia and On-
tario. The province whieh gets the
largest increases is Saskatchewan,
with five; while Alberta is a close sec-
ond, with four.
It is not certain whether the Yukon
will retain its separate representation
after redistribution. That territory
was first given a member by Act of
Parliament in 1902. At that time there
was a population of 27,219 in the ter-
ritory, but at present it is only 4,157.
MT. EVEREST AGAIN
BAFFLES EXPLORERS
It will be walearne news to the
alumni of University College to learn
that the Government of Ontario has
provided money for the erection of an
Administration Building for the Uni-
versity of Toronto and that the plans
have already been drawn. For many
years g nduates of University College
and students in attendance there have
felt very strongly that the historic
old college was not receiving "a square
deal," Its classrooms have been al-
together too few and too small in
proportion to the number and the size
of the classes taking instruction there.
The college has been 'submerged in
the provincial university and has not
had any opportunity for the develop-
ment of that corporate life which is
characteristic of the other three arts
colleges, Victoria, ' Trinity, and St.
Michael's. Even the name Univresity.
College, has fallen somewhat into dis-
use because its, building has been
known as the Main Building of the
university. " The new building, which
is now under way, is to be erected at
the rear of Convocation Hall. It will
provide offices for the President, the
Registraac, the Bursar, the Superin-
tendent ,of Buildings, and the Director
of University Extension. The removal
of these offices from University Col-
lege will set free several rooms for
elaseroom instruction and will restore
to University College the distinct
identity which has been dormant for
many years.
Canada'+s total population, as fixed
by the sixth .census, is '8,788,483. The
population of Ontamio stands at 2,933,-
662, of whom ,1,226,292 live in rural
districts.
Further Efforts Likely to End
in Useless Tragedy.
A despatch from London says:—
Mount Everest has again baffled the
best efforts of man.
The -Calcutta correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph confirms previous re-
ports that Brigadier -General C. G.
Bruce, head of the present expedition,
has been forced to the conclusion that
persistence in the effort to scale the
peak would only result in useless.
tragedy.
General Bruce was most reluctant
to abandon further attempts, but the
condition in which the two last climb-
ing parties returned, the advice of
his medical officers and the certainty
of worse weather conditions daily,
forced him to a decision, says the
writer.
Major H. T. Morshead was the
worst sufferer from frost bites. 0. L.
Mallory and another member of the
party also were badly bitten and sev-
eral others less severely.

that the summit is almost unattain-

is that if an expedition started 'earlier
in the season it might be barely pos-
sible to reach within a. thousand feet
of the top, but that the last lap could
only be covered by almost superhuman
