For Early Opening.
SEATING CAPACITY .
THREE HUNDRED
With electricians, plumbers, plas-
terers, carpenters, tinslmdths and
masons at work .throughout the new
theatre, the scene presented is de-
eideelly lively.
tMr. Sam McKenzie, in charge of
the work here, says they hope to have
the 'theatre open on September 8th.
There is a lot of - work to be done
yet and only so long to do it in, but
everyone is 'hard at it and unless
something u.nfonse'en haplpen•s, Thurs-
day, 'September 8th, will 'be the day.
Already the 'bui'lding has a decided
theatre. -like appearance. The addi-
tion to house the stege at the east
end has been erected and the lobby
and entrance on Main Street is fin-
dslhed, except for',plastering, ,
The first coat of plaster is on the
auditorium and workmen are busy
building partitions in the projection
room and lobby. The electrical work
is. nearly finished and the heating ap-
paratus is being installed.
It is e•xpeeted that projection and
sound equipment will be here by the
end of the month; the work''of in-
stalling which will take about a week.
The sound equipment is by the North-
ern Electric Co. and is the best and
most modern procurable.
As. yet. Mr. an'd Mrs. Sutherland,
who own and will operate the theatre,
-crave not decided on a name for it.
The Sutherlands are now operating
theatres in, tSt. 'Marys and Go,derich,
and the Seaforth theatre will make
the third in their chain.
An opening ceremony will' prabab-
ly be arranged mid it is thought- like-
ly that the merchants of the town,
through the Business Men's Associa-
tion, will co-operate.

. 'Crippled children of Huron will
again have the benefit of specialists
when the Lions Clubs of Goderich
and Seaforth , hold, their crippled
children's clinic in .Goderich the. end
of this .month. The worts achieved at
the clinic of last year and the snuh-
'sequent -work done was outstanding
and it is confidently expected that
this year's results will be even bet-
ter than those of last year,
Dr. G; A. Ramsay, of London, will
be clin'itian at the. 'clinic, which will
be held in the Alexandria Marine and
General Hospital, Goderich, an Wed-
nesday, Q.ugust 31st, at 10 a.m. Drs.
Ross and Macklin will examine cases
of defective eyesight.
It is urged that crippled children
and children with-"defeeti'vle eyesight
be brought to this ..clinic and exam-
ined. The very beneficial results ob-
tained 'by the Lions in 1931 shows
conclusively the success, with which
the clinics meet.
Permission to attend maybe ob-
tained from the secretary of •nearest
Lions Club, H. S. Griff, Goderich, or
Dr. F. Jr Bechely,. •Seaforth. An early
application ;s highly desirable is as
much as large numbers apply each
year.
,„.The ehairman of the Seaforth com-
mittee is Dr: F. J. Bechley. He was
recently appointed to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of R. M. Jones,
who was prominent in the work since

,Empire Trade Conference.
Said To Be Falling Short
Of Optimistic Dreams -
Represents Compromise
Among Conflicting Inter-
ests.
WELLAND CANAL IS
SEEN BY DELEGATES
Whatever may be the divergent
views of the Imperial Conference, so
utterly monopolizing attention here
for a ;month, at all events it has turn
the course of all conferences arid had
the' general oonseeu'enees. None of
them ever attains the heights which,
in advance, were sealed in the vision
of enthusiasts. They build hopes so
high and the •evidennti.al value is, of-
ten, so exaggerated, that what is
finally ac'com'pliished, '.sulbstantial
though it may be, disappoints nmany
who expected more.
:About this gat),rerin'g there in Ot-
tawa=•and from it the capital in a
pecuniary way and, also, in a. world
wide advertising from 200 corre-
spondents ' has reaped enormous
benefits one thing was apparent,
from the start. That is, that imperial
sentiment goes only so far. 'The
patriotic platitude sounds well at
the 'banquet table. after rich food)
and stimulating beverages have been
served but. when thew% get down• to
business, there is 'v'e'ry little differ-
ence between the Britisher and Can-
adian doing -business together and
the Britisher; in similar contact,
with ,a delegation from the :United
States.
Everdrene Educated.
Beth sides hhhre, undergone a pro-
cess of edbu'cation, here. Some of the
imperial iuncles cameover, . •alftier
sounding the tom tom at home, im-
agining that, Ode they repeated it
formally Vete doors of empire trade
would swing wide open with the
same prampde as Jericho's walls
collapsed at the blast of the ram's
horn. They didn't swing wide opera
and, to the extent that they did,
stern sentinels were guarding the
treasure 'of domestic industry be-
neath the cover of •the protective
tariff,- And then, ' the Canadian
prime minister. who once made the
famous declaration of intent to use
'tariffs to '°blast" his• way into the
British market, finds that blasting
is a Very onerous and irfitating en-
terprise.
Bennett Speech Puzzled.
What the Conference disclosed was
that, while the present Canadian. gov-
ernment adheres with unwavering
fidelity to protection, even the Brit-
ish Conservative is still a free trad-
er. The protection they have adopt-
ed
dopted is described as only a tentative
expedient. They would get away
from it as soon as they can. For a
while the Canadian manufacturer
was on the apprehensive seat, fear-
ing, and with good reason, that, to
some degree anywa -, Mr. Bennett
was preparing to• thenep 'them. Then,
it seems, St. James Street of Mont-
real—the Wall Street of Canada—
proceeded' to get 'busy and the Con-
servative pro tee t i on ist press also
got husy and there came a consbl-
ing interpretation of what Mr. Ben-
net meant by 'efficient" Canadian
industry in his opening speech. The
question was whethea the industry
in question was so "efficient" ,as to
stand the gaff of British competi-
tion or whether it was meant that,
by' •. reason of its efficiency, it was
entitled in the untroubled .po•s'sas-
sion of the home market. The iattee
prole(' to i,e the official version.
Whereupon, our British cousins ex-
pressed large disappointment, .What
results from the conference is be-
tviet and between.
Different Angles of Approach.
In taking this .position. the Can-
adian prime minister was not incon-
Sirtnt. Ile has always 'been a pro-
tectionist and it is a plank as funda-
mental in the platform of the Con-
e rvati -e party as it is in the plat-
form of the Republicans, across the
line He was prepared to yield, con-
siderable, bet not in a way to injure
irr.'ly affect domestic industry,,
The facts are that the angles of
approach of the two sides proved to
he utterly dis,4invilar. The British
wanted to invade the Market of the
'Canadian efficient industry, especial-
ly in textiles, but, in other ways, as
well. The Canadian Government's
idea on the other hand was, that,
pretty largely, but not wholly thin
market should be reserved for do-
mestic enterprise. In ,place of allow-
ir e it to be exten. ively exploited,
from outside, their plan was to di-
vert, to Great Britain, by increases
.of the general tariff, or addition to
the free list, as affecting the old
country, some $'50,000,000 or $60,000,-
000
60,000;000 of, additional trade which would,
he subtracted from foreign account..
The British party, however, regarded',-
the figures at sulpposed benefit as
greatly exaggerated., while , also

to prevent the Uniited S'tate's manu-
f,acturer estarblisliing more bran'
