New Zealand Farmers Ask
for Agricultural State Banks
A despatch from Wellington
says: -Great pressure is being ex-
erted on the_New Zealand Government
to establish agricultural state banks,
the Agrarian interests urging here,
as they have done in Canada, and
-other agricultural countries, that
farmers need further credit facilities.
Mr. Wilfrid, the Opposition leader,
moved a vote of censure on the Gov-
ernment on Thursday on the ground
of their failure to extend pensions,
and to promote other social and hu-
manitarian legislation; to • relieve
soldier settlers; to solve the housing
and unemployment problems, and to
establish agricultural state banks.
Mr. Stewart, the Minister of Cus-
toms, in reply, defended New Zea-
land's sound financial position, and
contended that the Australian exper-
ience did not warrant the establish-
ment of a state bank here. The de-
bate is preceeding but defeat of the
Government is considered highly im-
probable.

The British Cabinet, accepting the

strategical objections taken by the de-
fence authorities to the project.

Success of "Beam" Wireless
Abolishes High -Power Station
A despat'h from London says: -
Following announcement by Senator!
William Marconi of the success of his
short wave; low-power "beam" wire -I
less experiment:, in both telegraphy
and telephony, Godfrey Isaacs, head'
of the Marconi Company announced!
his firm will build no more high-power
stations.
All the stations of the future, ac-
cording to present plans, will be
under _26- kilowatts in 'power. Both
Marconi and Isaacs, predict that a
substantial redtiCtion in rates 'can bel
made when the new stations •are in
operation.
The four advantages are: ..Low
power; comparatively • inexpensive.
short wave 'stations will maintain di-
rect high-speed service with the most
distant points; more words can be
sent a day; the system is directional,
and can be received only by stations
within the restricted sector of the
beim; economy in the cost of new
stations, and in operation due to the
low power.

IRISH BY-ELECTION
ASSUMES IMPORTANCE
Because of Claim Set Up by
Republican Leaders in
Campaign.
A despatch from London says :-
That the Irish Free State considers
her position in the Empire'the same
as that of Canada, and in matters of
status takes Canada as bier exemplar,
has often been noted. Hitherto, it
has been the Free Staters who have
taken this attitude and stressed the
analogy to prove that the Free State
under Dominion constitution enjoys
all the freedom she needs. Accord-
ing to the latest news from Ireland
in connection with the impending by-
election in Mayo, the Republicans
have now adopted the Canadian anal-
ogy for more sinister 1.1.S2R. They are
arguing that as under the treaty the
Free State enjoys the same status as
Canada, she enjoys Canada's right;
already admitted and defined by Brit-.
ish statesmen, to secede from 'the Em-
pire and become an independent state.
They are making till:, a contentious
issue in Mayo and for this and other
reasons the by-election is regarded as
fraught with great significance for
Ireland's immediate . future.

WEST INDIES BARRED
BY U.S. QUOTA LAW
Denied Unrestricted Privileges
of the British Self -Governing
• Dominions.
•
A despatch from Washington
says: -Immigration officials have cor-
rected information given out at Sec-
retary Davis' office that the British
quota restrictions will not operate
against British subjects of the West
Indian possessions.
Under the regulations of the new
Act, Commissioner -General Husband
explained, the quota exemption of the
Western Hemisphere applies only to
the 'self-governing Dominions of the
British Empire, which means that the
West Indian Islands possessed by
Great Britain and the'other European
powers fall within the emote restric-
tions.
Assistant Immigration Commieslcn-
er Sibray asked for a ruling from the
Labor Department on the status
of the British West Indies. It
was stated at Secretary Davis' office
that they would remain exempt. from
quotes, as they were under the old
law.
The fact that the insular posses-
sions do not have the unrestricted
privileges of the British self -govern -
lag Dominions 'will mean a .check on
negro immigration from the West In-
dies to New York.

CANADIANS FLOCK TO
THE OLD COUNTRY
Tourists from the Dominion
Attending Variety of.Social
and- Other Functions.
A despatch from London says: -
There are more Canadians in London
to -day than at any other time in its
history. The Dominion Day dinner
had a record attendance, 'including
Canadians from every point of the
world, some of whom had come over
from the continent specially for the
occasion. Wembley is the magnet
-which draws a great number of Can-
adian visitors; but other factors are
the world power conference, to which
well known Dominion Hydro -Electric
engineers are delegates; the Congress
of Empire Chambers of Commerce,
which is attended by many officials
of Canadian Boards of Trade, the
visit of the weekly newspaper editors,
the Risley shooting and even the inter-
national lifeboat conference. There
was a Canadian competitor in the
early rounds of the tennis champion-
ships at. Wimbledon and a Canadian
entrant for the Diamond Sculls at
Henley. There are also one hundred
members of the Canadian Manufac-
turers' Association here under the
leadership of Col. Hatch, of Hamilton.
A number of prominent Canadian law-
yers are in London in connection with
the Privy Counsel cases, including E.
L. Newcombe, Dep. Minister of Jus -
ties, who will be joined by hundreds
of •others when the Bar Association
comes here in a few weeks. Many of
these Canadians have been playing
their part in society during one. of the
most brilliant seasons London has
known since the war. Many attendees
the. Royal Garden party1;oftzand courts.
Square scarves of vivid colors, for
men to wear on the tennis courts, are
said to be gaining popularity.
The astonishing increase in exports
! of grain. through the port of Van-
eouver to the European and 'Oriental
markets during the past two or three
I years. is evidenced by figures issued
by the Federal Government which
I show that during the eight months
ending April, 1924, 30,000 cars oA
grain were delivered to Vancouver.'
Shipments were made to Japan,'.
China, Great Britain and other cour
tries.
