officials of .the Canadian National Parks
Branch, of the Department of the In -

ON PARLIAMENTHILL
By a IYnamber of the Parliamentary Pres; Gallen/
1
()Newts -- From the oltarauter o
the debate already In the House of
Commons, from the correspondence
tabled in the liduse from day to day
by different members of the Oovera'
anent, and from the warns attacks trade
by steamship concerns, both on ti's
side and on the other side of the At-
lantic, against the Federal Govern-
ment's plan for obtaining control of
Atlantic freight rates, it has become
evident that there has been uncovered
one of the largest and most powerful
combines now in existennce. The man-
tra! of freight rates now exercised by
the ,North Atlantic Sibpppi 1,g Confer-
ence extends to 'a. similar degree over
almost every seta and is exacting a
heavy toil upon all shippers and pro-
ducers.
• More serious in its effect upon Can-
adian goods and Canadian ports then
the actual high rates nsaintlained by the
North Atlantic Conference is the gross
discrimination against these ports .and
favour avour of the same goods slipped
from United .States. This discrlm'na-
tion, which was abundantly establish-
ed in the evidence taken two sessions
ago by the Special Committee on Ag-
ricultural Conditions and clearly dem-
onstrated in the speech made by Hon,
'i'homas A. Low, Minister of Trade Ind
Commerce, on March., has been the
subject of repeated protests to The
'Canadian Government for for the past
five years. It is noteworthy, though,
that while the ,present Government
Inas been quick to act upon such com-
plaints by introducing a measure in
Parliament, the Meighen adm;nistratiun
: id the Borden Government only in-
vestigated and took no notion what-
ever.
Britain Also Investigating
Another feature of this situation,
which has become the central subject
of discussion +t111S session• both in and
out of Parliament is that, following
strong objections taken by British
shipping interests to the subject msis..
ter of the Preston report, It has bees
arranged than c,r.cu:rentiy with th; :n-
4 '. gatios: .., be conducted by a sec-
ial coramatee of the !louse of Com-
mons, there will be an enquiry by She
Imperial Shipping Committee in Great
Britain. Also, the evidence to be taken
by the Canadian House Committee will
he transmitted from day to day to the
Imperial Shipping Comamittee and, on
the other hand, the latter body along
with British shipping interests are ar-
ranging to have witnesses not only
frons Canada but also from Greet Brit-
ain attend the sittings of the Canadian
committee and give evidence here. All
this was disclosed In correspondence
between the British and the 'Canadian
Governments during the last three
weeks+.and tabled in the Clouse of Com-
mons last Friday by the Prime Minist-
er.
A Long -Simmering Explosion
in one of the cables sent a. few days
ago by the Prime Minister to the Sec-
retary of State for the Colonies in Lon-
don it was made clear that the course
of action now being pursued by the
King Government was decided upon
some time ago and was based upon the
evidence and the recommendations of
the Special 'Committee on. Agricult-
ural +Conditions two sessions ago.
That cable said in part:—"That Spec-
ial Committee found that a combir..e
existed in North Atlantic traffic and
it recommended that action be taken to
control its operations. The Canadian
Government will welcome before the
Special Committee soon to be named
representations from the Chandler of
Shipping of the United Kingdom and
win be obliged if the Chamber can be
so advised. 1f for any reason the 13rit.

in addition to this enquiry it would
be desirable to have an investigat'on

would Committee int
wish their course of action, whioh was
decided upon some time ago, to defer
in any way such further Investigation"
Canadian Exports Only to Benefit
Important contributions to the de-
bate on this measure in the House of
Commons during the week ended
March loth, were from Hon. W. R.
Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture;
William Duff, Literal member for Lun-
enburg, N. S.; W. D. Euler, Liberal
member for North Waterloo; Robert
Forke, leader of hte Progressives and
Alfred Speakman, Progressive member
for Red Deer, Alberta. General Clark,
one of the Conservative members from
British Columbla, had made a point of
criticism that the ships which would
be subsidized by the Canadian Govern-
ment would be carrying out of the port
of Montreal, United States wheat, as
well as Canadian wheat and that anoth-
er nation would reap some Of the ben-
efit which is intended for Canadian
Shippers. To this Hon. Mr. Mother-
well replied that United States wneat
came into Montreal elevators in bond

would not be mixed with Canadlin
wheat at any time. "The evidence
given before the Royal Grainnlnnti
;
ion", proceeded Mr: Motherwell,
"showed quite distinctly that we are

absolutely that there Is no mixture of

Action Rather Than Words
"9 am prepared", said Mr. Euler to
his speech last Thursday night, "to
support any reasonable :plan that may
be suggested that will tend to destroy
the power of an organization that is
hampering the ,progress and, prosperity
of this country." Earlier in this speech
be said, "What I like about the whole

departure from the old condition of

Attitude of Progressives
The attitude ;of .the Progressive par-
ty, as expressed by its leader, Robert
Porke, on friday afternoon and; by Al-
fred Speakman on Tuesday, is that' they
are not 'hostile to the Oa», but s?inuply
critical. They readily recognize the
existence of a great combine that is

THE NEW TOKIO.
Very vividly Mlss Macdonald lsictur•
ed the new Tokio built up temporar-
ily, a city of, shacks and tents and little
lip houses. "This Is something else
that the earthquake Ihurried osa," she
explained. "It was destine,i to make
over Tokio, to entirely reconstruct .he
city, which has a most 'unusual and In-
terestin+g formation. The 'feudal castle
is in the centre; here, under military
regime, were the military headquarters,
the ;whole surrounded by groups of
little„ villages, made up of the people
who were the' hostages demanded by
the rulers to insure good behaviour in
the outlying districts. When the mon-
archy came back some 6o years ago
the city continued to grow m2 the same
basis, with moats . and occasional
streets and rivers dividing the wards.
This reconstruction will be carried for-
ward now, perhaps with greater speed.
In th4 meantime, however, building
regelations mere lifted, since tempor-
ary shelter had to be .provided, and the
slsaek city :vas raised up."
Miss Macdonald's'chief Interest still
Ices in the prison ;work in which she
has for years been engaged and on
which she is an authority. an this con-
nection she told The Free Press what
she called a "human interest" story of
the great work done by the governor
of the heavy sentence ;prison with its
1,300 prisoners, for whom the terms
of imprisonment are from 12 years to
life. This man who is a Christian, is
beloved by the ,prisoners, over whom,
he exerts a beneficial influence. At the
time of the earthquake the prison work
shops were. shatteredand the prisoners,
who, unlike the cases in most prisons,
were not 'locked in, might have gone
free, for all the possibility of appre-
hending them. And yet not one man
made his escape. Prison officials and
prisoners worked together to extricate
those caught in the debris and perfect
order reigned.. When the military
arrived to take over the prison the
officer was not admitted by the gover-
nor.
Miss Macdonald spoke of the social
service work of the fihuddisas; or the
students' federations that meet at St.
