Rev. S. I.D. Chown, D.D., For-
mer General Superinten-
dent of the Methodist
Church in Canada
DIGS in Toronto
Rev. Dr. Samuel D. Chown, form-
er general superintendent of the
Methodist Church in Canada, died ir
Toronto Monday night.
Dr. Chown, who was 79 years old,
had been ill for some time, although
Ise had been quite active in the in-
terests of the United Church before
he was stricken.
IIe was one of the strongest pro-
ponents of ohuroh union and played
an outstanding' role in the ultimate
realization of the union of the Pres-
byterian, Methodist and Congregation-.
al churches in 19255. At the firs]'
general assembly of the United
Church Dr. Chown was nominated
frt• the office of moderator, Ind de-
clined for the sake of "absolute un-
animity."
Friends said they believed Dr,
Chown's death was hastened by his
persistent n attention
to duty. A year
ago last fall, despite his years, he
was elected chairman of the Toronto.
Centre Presbytery of the United
Church, and last spring accepted the
Yet of chairman of the board of pub-
lications for the whole church, a
duty which required his presence on
many. platforms and at many con.
ferences.
In October lie took an active part
in the general council of the church
in Hamilton and returned to bis home
exhausted. Soon after he was feined
to take to his bed and became grad-
ually weaker thereafter,
After his official retirement in
1920 be continued unceasing efforts
to bring about a greater measure of
church union.
Dr. Chown was known personally
to many in Huron County, as he had
from time to time visited many of
the churches in the ' several towns
hereabouts. He had on here than
one occasion taken special services
in the Clinton' churches.
SEAFORTH: There was a large
attendance at the Y.P.S. meeting in
the parish hall of St. Thomas Church

HOSPITAL GRANTS
The County 'Council, in its very
commendable policy of -ecotone,
looked about for some way of sav-
ing money, and one pian was to cut
off all hospital grants. But some
friends of the hospitals of the coun-
ty, Reeve Elliott among them, put
in a :strong plea for a continuance
and the final result was that a
grant of 8650 was given each hos-
pital, This is a cut of 850 from last
year's grant, which was then cut
$50. But this is a good deal better
than, none at all.

PREMIER BENNETT EXPLAINS
RUSSIAN DEAL TO PARLIAMENT
Premier Bennett in the House 'of
Commons on Tuesday made a state-
ment regarding the much -advertised
Russian offer of trade, the following
being in part a report which ap,
penned in yesterday's news from Ot-
tawa:
. "Mr. Bennett came to the pare
tieular project of a Western syndi-
cate represented by a Winnipeg law-
yer, Mr. Serlcau. It seems that he
came here last fall, unfolded the
scheme to the minister of agricul-
ture, Mr, Wier, went down to New
York, and then, over to Moscow
coating back with notes of an ag-
reement. The notes, however, weer
his. Mr. Bennett says there has been
no communication from the Soviet
authorities. Nothing to show that
they sanctioned the proposed ar-
rangement. But the syndicate, with.)
out at all overlooking themselves in
the matter of commission, affirmed
a willingness by the Soviet people
to buy 100,000 head of Canadian cat-
tle in exchange for Russian anthra-
cite, lubrieating oil and coal oil.
The Caandian Government was asked
to finance the scheme up to $4,000,-
000, at this end, by a guarantee of
Soviet bonds,
with
the further cur-
ious provision that, if Russia should
fall down at their end or break the
contract the Government here should
guarantee to fully protect the syn-
dicate,
When the scheme was unfolded to
the minister of agriculture he sought
truth of the bona fides. It has not
been furnished. The whole purpose
of the plan, Mr. Bennett said, was a
promotion for profit—a cent a pound
commission on every head of cattle
purchased, but with the whole deal
contingent upon the extensive pnhlir
financing aforementioned. The pre,
mier, having outlined this fact, de-
voted attention to the ttewspapere
which hadbeen particularly seduloue
in promotional publicity and saying
that the people reading them would
be able to decide if their efforts arc.
'conducive to the national welfare
tinder present conditions.' Mr. Ben-
nett invited discussion, but, "while
thanking him for the opportunity.
Mr. King preferred to wait and react
the statement. He took occasion to
snake it clear, however, that wha'
his Government did was simply e
cancellation of certain diplomatic'
privileges to the Soviet, not intended
to restrain the, freedom of trade."
