A despatch from London says:-
Great Britain is embarked on the
shortest and what promises to be one+
of the most hectic electoral campaigns
in history,
Prime Minister MacDonald, beaten'
in the Reuse of Commons on Wednes-i
day night, motored to Buckingham
Palace on. Thursday and obtained the
assent of I{ing George; who had hur-
ried bacic from Scotland, for dissolu-

Accordingly that body was pro-

Labor Government Meets De=
and Liberals Unite in Pass -
364 to 298_
The fact that the Premier remained
with the Ring for an hour instead of
the 'few minutes usual In the case of
a formal ministerial resignation, lends
weight to the rumor that the Throne
objected strongly to authorizing an
election on an issue which merely in-
volved the conduct of the Attorney -
General in dropping a sedition case.
Proceedings during the prorogation
in the House of Cmomons were purely
formal. But a great demonstration
awaited Mr. MacDonald at the Labor
party conference, which has been, by
a coincidence, meeting in London dur-
ing the present political, crisis. ' The
Prime Minister came to the meeting
direct from the Palace. Here the Labor
leader delivered a bitter speech, which
indicates the unrestrained language
which is likely to be used by all sides
during the campaign.
"Murder had been !lotted and plan-
ned, and it came off," he declared, in
summing up the vote of censure which
defeated the Government Wednesday
night.
This was a Liberal motion demand-
ing an investigation of the dropping
of charges against James R. Camp-
bell, Communist editor of the Workers'
Weekly, who had been accused of in
citing troops to mutiny. The Govern
ment has pledged its word that politi
cal considerations had nothing .to d
with the case, and so Tabor regarde
the demand for an inquiry as an in
sult to the integrity of its ministers.
The _, present composition of the
House of Commons' membership is as
follows:
Conservative 246, Labor 187, Lib-
eral 156, Ulster Unionist 11, Co-
operative 6, Independent 3, Indepen-
dent Liberal 2, Nationalist 2, Sinn
Fein 1; total 614.
The total membership of the House
of Commons is 615, but there is a
vacancy for the London University
constituency.

GRAND JURY FIND NO
BILL AGAINST SQUIRES
Hold That Evidence is Insuf-
ficient to Warrant an
Indictment.
A despatch from St. John's, Nfld.,
says :-A grand jury investigating
charges against Sir Richard Squires,
former Premier of Newfoundland, in
connection with alleged irregularities
in the course of his administration, re-
turned no indictment on Thursday
night. The grand jury held that evi-
dence in support of eharges of larceny
and of receiving money in the testi-
mony of Mrs. Jean Harsant, formerly
secretary to Squires, was insufficient tit
to warrant finding a true bill. 1c
The former Premier was placed
under arrest last April on charges of p
larceny which were the immediate out-'
growth of the report of Crown Com
missioner Hollis Walker. The Walker! e
report sustained charges that Squires,' a
while Premier, received $22,000 from s
the funds of the Government liquor
control department which was paid,
into his account at the Bank of Nova; t
Scotia instead of into the public treas- of
ury. It was also charged in the re -f
port that $46,000 was paid into the:
same account by the British Empire; r

SETTLEMENT OF LAST
OF CANADA'S CLAIMS
German Indebtedness Ques-
tion Being Undertaken by
Under-Secretary of State.
A despatch from London says:-
Although it is some months since the
Dawes report was adopted and ap-
proved, among others by Canada's rep-
resentatives, no one knows how much
or when Canada will benefit under it.
Thomas Mulvey, Under-Secretary of
State, is now in London and one of the
objects of his visit is to find out. It is
a question of some immediate as; well
as considerable ultimate importance to
e Dominion, since it will affect her
ourse with regard to $20,000,000
worth of sequeatrated German pro-
erty still in Government possession.
Mr. Mulvey's principal mission was
to clear up what are known as enemy
laims, that is, claims by Canadians
gainst Germans and vice -versa, re-
citing from the dislocation of busi-
ness relations during the war. The
Canadian Government has had much
rouble in getting a proper accounting

epresentations have now had their

leering office. It is hoped that in

oonsenting party to both transactions
in the Walker report.
Evidence presented against Squires
consisted largely of the testimony of
Miss Jean Miller, secretary to Squires
when he was Premier, and who has
since been married. Sir Richard has
maintained an absolute denial of the
charges against him or complicity in b
the alleged irregularities. 0

"marsh 1'f nds" which are found all
along the Bay of Fundy, eastward
from St. John, form one of the most
valuable farming assets of the :prov-
ince. In appearance they resemble
flat stretches of prairie meadows 'cov-
ered with rich grass and are not at
all to be confused with bogsor
swamps. These so-called marsh lands
have been created by the extraordi-
nary tides of the Bay of Fundy, and
are wonderfully fertile. It is record-
ed that at Jolicure, county of West-
morland, thirty-five consecutive an-
nual crepe of hay of an average of
two tons per acre have been harvested
and the quality gives promise of re=
maining eo indefinitely. The land,,
which used to bo overflowed by the:
tide, was reclaimed by dikes built by
the early French:' settlers, and now
forms a vast natural meadow with a
soil sometimes 80 feet deep. It yields
heavy crops of hay year after year
without any fertilizing and this inex-
haustible supply of cheap hay from
the marsh is of great advantage to the
stock farmers. If at any tune the.
land needs reviving, the dilce gates are
opened for a while so that the tide
can come in and deposit a fresh layer
of soil: They are not, however, equally
good -for all crops, but are best for
grasses and grains, to which they are
almost entirely given up. The grasses,
the usual upland English hay grasses,
grow very tall, very dense, and of
very superior quality, luxuriant but
not rank. No attempt is made to take
GERMAN LOAN SURE
UNDER DAWES PLAN
Details to be Laid Before Re-
parations Commission by
Owen D. Young.
A despatch from London says:-
Owen D. Young left London for Paris
on Thursday after a conference with
1 Montagu Norman, Governor of the
Bank of England, and German Fin-
ance Minister Luther on the repara-
tions loan which will be made to Ger-
j many under the Dawes plan.
I Mr. Young carried with him the
complete plans for and a prospectus
of the loan, which he will lay before
the Reparations Commission. If it is
approved all the 'facts will be made
public soon after. o
Everything now has been settled
with the exception of the final assent
of some powers to the quotas assigned
them. Italy in particular is under-
stood to object to her quota, but Mr.
Young is sanguine about the general
agreement.
Tokio to Have Subway
Despite Earthquake Perils
A despatch from Tokio says: -De•
spite the unknown possibilities of
damage and danger in earthquakes, •
Tokio is to have a subway. It is ex-
pected construction work will corns'
mence by the end of the year.
Out of four original franchise, three
have lapsed and the remaining fran-
chise is the property of the Tokio
Underground Railway Co., which in-
tends to have subway trains running
within two years' time. This company,
Wits organized in 1918 with 10,000,000
yen capital, one-tenth paid in, and
since that time has virtually complet-
ed the survey and geological in-vestiges'
tions for ten miles of lines.
The company proposes to start with
one line of one mile and a half, con-
necting Uyeno and Asalcusa, to be
followed by an extension from Uyeno
to Shinagawa. The directors of the
company expect to raise 4,000,000 yen
by a call on shareholders, When the
Uyeno-Asakusa line is completed the
property will be used as collateral for
loans, the proceeds of which will be
used, along with another payment
from shareholders, to finance the con-
struction of the Shinagawa line.
