EFFORUO END POOL CONTRACTS IS DEFEATED Resolution Overwhelmingly Voted Down at Carman "Volunteer" Meeting Special to The Winnipeg Tribune CARMAN, August 13 Pressing to be released from their agreement obligating them to sell their grain for a five-year period to the wheat pool, dissatisfied members of the Carman local made an unsuccessful attempt Tuesday night to get en dorsement of a resolution recommending legislation to terminate the contracts. The resolution was overwhelmingly defeated on a formal vote which came after three hours of discussion. The pool itself was defended by Colin H.

Burnell. president of the Manitoba organization. Defeat of the resolution was accompanied by endorsement of an amendment which proposed that those who had signed contracts fulfil them in every particular until their expiration. The meeting was cauea Dy a -Unter committee." It was advertised as a meeting of pool members to discuss "matters of vital importance to members of the pool organisation." It was alleged by po' supporters that the bills calling the meeting were circulated through the private elevator companies. "The farmer's marketing organisation is stronger than ever" commented Mr.

Burnell. The whole attitude of the majority at the meeting seemed to be that the pool has not lost ground." Mr. Burnell said the agitation for the petition against the pool contract was centred around four men. Not more than 25 out of 700 expressed disapproval of a "confidence resolution" by refusing to stand when the vote wa taken, he said. "Membership figures for the prairie pools do not show any recessions, according to official state-' ment" Mr.

Burnell stated. During the past 12 months membership of the co-operative organization In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta swelled by more than 2.000 members to better than 140.000 members. Meanwhile, a section of pool members in Saskatchewan is agitating for a 100 percent pool In ht nmvlnre. where some 60 per son! nf the West's wheat Is harves ted; ballots sent out to pool tnem-J bers on the compulsory pool question are expected to be to hand by the beginning or septemper.

LINDBERGH FORECASTS AIR TRAFFIC NEEDS Tells Institute of Politics Standard Regulations Necessary WILLIAMSTOWN, Aug. 13.

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh yesterday outlined some of his ideas for the facilitation of international aviation before the general conference of aerial navigation at the Institute of Politics. With the growth of experience and the improvement of aircraft Colonel Lindbergh said, "we find that this country's Interest Is not alone in communication between the various states by air. but that one of our most important interests Is better communication with other countries, at this time particularly, I think, with Mexico and Central and South America. Plenty of Opportunity "There are still great opportunities to make the carrying of passengers and express a great deal more valuable, a great deal faster than at the present time," he continued.

If we can obtain a standard set of regulations, obtain a simpler ser ies ot lorms to Be tilled out in international transport and if we can prevail upon the various countries i which are served by the United States airlines to co-operate, with an Idea toward the future and what these lines will bring to them in the future. Armaments Discussed In the round table discussion of limitation of armaments. Admiral Arthur J. Hepburn, chief of staff of the United States fleet declared the outlawry of war needs. If it is to endure, to have back of it some principle that will appeal to human reason.

In accepting the pact of Paris we have agreed, he said, to settle all disputes ol whatever nature by paci fic means, but we have not said what those means shall be. When we reply upon Intelligent public opinion we must explain the method to the understanding and conviction of the intelligent citizenship. Statu of Neutrals To obtain a settled and satisfac tory understanding as to the rights of neutrals and belligerents in time of war, we need to make a fresh start, declared Lord Eustace Percy, of London, in his fourth address on the freedom of the seas. Lord Eustace is former president of the British Board of Education. No one has yet proposed to es tablish complete freedom of the seas in time of war, he said.

If freedom must to some extent be limited, the best method is one which distinguished clearly between the transactions which a neutral trader may engage In without risk and those which he must undertake at his peril. Of the two main laws of war, blockade does give this certainty, but It operates with grave unfairness Between island and con tinent nations. COMMISSION ON BLIND WILL GO ON TO REGINA Dr. Olin H.
