POPULAR EXCURSIONS
Reports received from the various
agents throughput central and
!southwestern Ontario by the .passen-
ger departments of the Canadian
i National and Canadian Pacific Rail -
I ways indicate that a great interest
'has been created in the special coach
excursions to Western Canada, which
will be operated daily from the east
from May 31st, to June 15, inclusive.
Both Id. C. Bourlier, General Pos-
senger Agent of the National Sys-
tem, and W. Fulton, Assistant Gen-
eral Passenger t Agent of the Cana-
dian Pacific, stated that all reports
are indicative of an unusually large
patronage of the excursion.
Based on the low rate of one cent
per mile, for the round trip, the
western excursion is the cheapest
fare as yet offered by the railways,
and it should greatly stimulate long-
distance travel. An analysis of the
figures charged for the old-time har-
vesters exoursien show that the
present rates are 30 per cent. lower.

DISARMAMENT IS WILL OF
PEOPLE
Highlights of Norman H. Davis'
speech on behalf of the United
States before the Geneva disarma-
ment conference the other day.
"It is the will of our people, in-
terpreted by President Roosevelt, to
join with the other powers in dis-
arming down to that level (determin-
ed by' self-defense needs). We are
prepared to bring this about ... by
decisive and progressive reduction
of armaments' through international
agreement."
"We are prepared to join other
notions in abolishing weapons of
an aggressive character. which at
present are those most likely to lead
to a breach of the peace." -
If at this decisive point any na-
tion should fail to give conclusive
evidence of its pacific intentions and
insist upon the right to rearm, the
burden for the failure of the dis-
armement conference would rest on
the shoulders of that nation."
"We must definitely make rap 'put
minds to settle our disputes around!
a conference table instead of pre-
paring to settle thein on the battle-.
fiord „
"In the long- run we may come td
the conclusion that the simplest and
most accurate definition of an ag-
gressor 18 one whose armed forces
,are found on alien soil in violation
of treaties."
"In the event that the states, in
conference, determine that 'a state
has been guilty of a breach of the
peace . we will refrain from any ac-
tion tendingto defeat•,suoh collec-
tive effort which these states may
thus make to restore peace."

VAGABOND TRIPS NOT
DETRIMENTAL
"Vagabond cruises" by freighters
to the Caribbean from Montreal and
Halifax have not been detrimental
to regular sea travel aboard Cana-
dian National "Lady" liners from
Montreal, Halifax and Boston to
the Caribbean, steamship officials
state. The freighter -cruises have
put West Indies voyaging within
roach of people of very limited
means and have even resulted in a
general increase in all 'Canada -West
Indies travel.
"Vagabond cruises" were intro-
duced by the Canadian National last
year. They are month-long voys
ages to Bermuda, the British and
French West Indies, Trinidad (Crus-

freighters with limited accommoda-

not hard and fast and there is "com-
