At no time have the' prospects of achievement been more cer,fain. ., "We meet in 'days when the ma- chinery of world commerce'is out of gear. International finatece has broken down; the old-fashioned industrial life the which we have grown accteetotned has undergone a change. 'We move toward a new economic order of things. Our part in fashioning it de- pends in tangle measure upon the out- come of this coniference. Since the prosperity of other years has feet us we have been witness to the efforts made in many/ countries throughout this time of trial to recover the hap- piness and plenty which, despite in- tervenin'g troubles, we yet should claim to be the ;birthright of us all. And these heroic efforts, because they failed os e but in part succeeded, do not on that account commend them- selves less warmly to us. They mere- ly serve to show that recovery is he - Pend the strength of any single na- tion. Recently at Lausanne the nations of the old world by a like utesellfiehnesis have, laid the foundation, of a better tnedierstanding and have exchanged old doubts and fears for a new con- fidence and trust. To those who, out of the seeming dissension of earlier days of that conferepce have 1)rought agreement, we offer our tribute of sincere praise. And we rejoice that there the representatives of the motherland have tuaintained its tra- Aldan as a sure .guide to whose wise counsel and direction the world w ill always be indebted. Lausanne detn-i onstrates the force of united effort directed toward the achievement of a 1 common purpose. "We have a common purpose.

It is in this spirit that they will strive to play their part in the work of th,e conference." Premier Bennett submitted to 'the Imperial Economic Conference Can- ada's offer of wider prefences, what Canada asked in return. reiter- ated in principle his offer mode at the London Conference of two years ago and expanded it. lOn the assumption that effective operation of the agreement would not be impaired by unfair competition, Canada now proposed to grant to the United Kingdom: 1, Extension of the free list. 2. Retention of the existing prefer - in favor of Great Britain. 3. Increased preferences in respect of a selected list of articles in which Great Britain is especially equipped to supiply the Canadian market with- out injuring efficient Canadian enter- prises. In exchange Canada asked: 'I. The retention of existileg pref- erences, 2. Their elfeective extension to those other natural and processed products of which the United Kingdom is an importer. The proposals were directed to the United Kingdom, but "in principle," all the other parts of the empire wherever its application will be mut- ually advantageous." "The agreement," Mr. Bennett de- clared, "should he a lasting one. This is not the time for ephemeral treaties. We must decide our course and ,th Follow it unswervingly-. An arrange- ment terminable on short notice would, 1 fear, have hut the effect of inerelasing inetability. T hie proposal is 'directed to the United Kingdom, but in principle it is !offered to all the other parts of the empire wherever its application will be mutually ad- vantageous. RVibh the two great deeninions and !Australia and New Zealand we have, within the past year made trade agreements, which, I believe, are already proving muttii adeiontagelons. Those agreetnente in the eight of this proposal may be reviewed and, if possible, made more comprehensive." Mr. Benuett further proposed that a conemittee should be set up to inquire into the monetary question "with a view to agreeing on some ptan to be made the basis of o a cliScussion in a huger world conference." at. Hon, Stanley Baldwin, head 'of the British delegation, made special reference to Canada's offer, in these Words: "I wish to thank the Prime Minieter of Canada for his speech and to say that we shalt look forward to studying sympatheticaely the propos- als in the eines he has laid down, and we will do our best to co-operate with good -will to accomplish the purpose he has in .view." "We hope," declared Mr, Baldwin, "that as a result of chis conference, we shall be,.able, not only to maintain ,eXisting preferences, but, in additio,n, to find ways of increasing them.

Mr. Moser Owns the old hotel property on the north- east corner of Dunlop intersection. Ili also owns a 11)0 acre glass farni. There is a barn on the property. Re- cently he made some improvements on the old hotel, a nese roof and cor- nice. This year Assessor William Sal - lows increased the assessment on the hotel property firain $550 to $700. "The assessor's excuse," said Mr, Moser, "is that he did not Make the increase because I spent ell00. He says he ixe- tesded to make the increase three years ago, but neglected to do so. That sounds fishy to nee. That build- ing was in a terrible condition. I fixed it up intending to turn it into a reven- ue producer if 1 could, I fell off the verandah and broke an arm and .while I was on the broad of my back my neighbors (?) got out a petition to block me. I don't like that." 'Mr. Moser's farm is assessed at $2,500. It was reduced from $2600 by the court of revision. The deputy reeve claims it is still too high. 'He says he paid $31100 for it when times were good, hut thiat he would gladly take $2,500 for it now. There is no house on the property, nor is it worec- ed ar producing revenue worth men- tioning.
