HOUSE HOPES TO END SESSION BY LATE THIS WEEK Important Business Still Must be Disposed of by Members (By Canadian Praail OTTAWA, July 20. Parliament enters on another week, but It is yet Impossible to tell whether next Saturday night will see the end of the session. There la a general wish to wind up the business and the new heat wave adds to that desire. However, a great deal c.f business remains to be done. The House today will clean up odds and ends from the budget which may develop Into a discussion of the tariff changea made in the emergency session last September.

The Australian trade agreement will come up after that. Considerable mean estimates still have to be passed and the supplementary estimate hsve yet to be brought down. Several minor bills have to be passad by the House before It turns its attention to the relief for the western farmers, whose crops have been lost through lack of rain. The general provision for unemployment also will be taken up. The report of the committee Investigating the Beauharnols project will develop a very important debate.

It is uncertain yet when It will be ready for submission to the House. A resolution was placed on the order paper Saturday, to provide for introduction of a bill to give authority for the payment out of the Dominion treasury of five cents a bushel on all wheat exported from the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan in the 1931 crop. The name of Manitoba does not appear, but it was stated in government circles that this was an oversight and that Manitoba would be Included. The report of the committee Ins vestlgatlng the report of the Canadian National Railways, has yet to be considered by the House. Some opposition to one or more of the recommendations is possible.

tjmtrs By DR. JAB. W. BARTON GETTING A DIRECT VIEW OF INTERIOR OF STOMACH Tou have often heard of the use of the ray In examining the stomach. A barium sulphate meal which makes a dark shadow, enables the physician to see the outline of tha stomach, how It empties this material out Into small Intestine, and whether there la an ulcer or a oancer present.

It also shows whether the opening from the stomach Into the small Intestine is large enough, because sometimes the seer tissue from a healed ulcer will contract or make the opening too small to allow anything but liquids to pass through. A couple of years ago, a photographic apparatus, an actual tiny camera was Inserted Into the stomach by means of a tube down the throat, and pictures of the lining of the stomach were thus obtained. And now a Russian physician, Dr. G. Belenkly has discovered a method whereby the physician can look down the throat and actually see the lining of the atomach.

He has been able to do this by means of the oesophagoscope, an Instrument that Is used to Inspect or see the lining of the oesophagus, or gullet, the tube that connects the throat with the stomach. This tube like Instrument Is first put down the throat, and then a smaller Instrument which he calls the gastroscope or stomach scope (gastro means stomach) easily passes through the larger tube right down Into the stomach. The end of this gastroscope Is provided with a rubber cap. This gastroscope Is connected with the source of the electrical energy, from which the oesophagoscope or outer tube has been disconnected. This method allows a direct In spection of the lining of the stomarA: It has been used by Dr.

Belenkiy for the last four years. Difficulty or complications were never encountered. Now yen can see that while the rav method of examination will contihtie to be used as It shows the shape of the rate of progress of the meal through the stomach, and the length of time it takes a meal to get comnletely out of the stomach, nevertheless this gastroscope or stomachscope rrlves the physician an exact and Immediate view of the entire lln tnrr of the slomach. It Is certainly advance In our knowledge of that necessary and ousy organ, tne stomach THE VVliNJNiPJiiG EVEiliG IKiBUiE, iUOiiDAi, JUL ZU, ml THREE MANITOBA TEACHERS GOING TO CONVENTION Twelfth Annual Sessions Will be Held at Monc ton, N.B. Three Manitoba teachers, George Florence, B.A., president of the Manitoba Teachers' Federation; J.

S. Clark, B.A., of Selkirk, and J. R. Reid, B.A., of Brandon, leave today to attend the 12th annual Canadian Teachers' convention in Moncton and St. John.

N.B., July 27 to 31. With each of the three delegates from the nine provinces attending, approximately 27,000 teachers will be represented at the annual clearing house of ideas and problems. The research committee of the Manitoba Teachers' Federation is forwarding a report to the convention on teaching conditlona in rural schools, a study covering 1,000 rural schools. The report states that most of the rural school libraries of Manitoba boast of 250 books. One school near St.

Claude has 1,200 while some six report SO or less. In 378 schools there are gramophones while nine have organs or pianos. Only 10 percent of rural teachers stay over three years in the same school. One teacher Is completing his 47th year as a rural school teacher another reported 21 continuous years in the same school. The average number of pupils Is between 25 or 30 although 26 schools have between 60 and 60 and one reports 80 on the roll.

In the thousand schools Investigated for the report 18 percent of the teachers have a first class certificate and 81 percent a second class Forty percent of the teachers reported that it was obligatory for them to lead In community affairs. Twenty percent reported that they were expected to engage In church activities while 62 percent said they were not. Many teachers refer to aood teaching conditions and community co operation. The main reasons for resignation are Insecurity of tenure, discontent over the local achool problem and local persecutions and discouragements. A APPEARS BEFORE COMMITTEE CONTINUED! now hesitates to make further advances, in view of what has been brought out." Speaking as a banker.

Sir John said believed "a great damage has been done to credit." Heavy committments had been made by the Beauharnols corporation. Sir John would recommend that "the air be cleared as quickly as possible, at the earliest possible moment, so the project may go on." Although he was not speaking for all the banks, Sir John believed he was echoing their thoughts. In reply to Peter White. K.C, counsel for the committee, Sir John said credit was being Injured "by the fact the public will not take up the second Issue of (Beauharnols) stock. With this Inquiry go ing on, ine punnc win not know what Is going to happen.

I do not believe the company will be able to buy machinery and continue the project while that is going on." Need Credit or Stop Work Sir John said he did not know Mr. Sweezey personally. He was speaking oply as banker. "If the company Is not able to get credit, the project will come to a stop." Several thousands of workingmen were Involved, with famlllea and dependents. 'To Mr.

White, Sir John repeated he could not remember his son telling him he had secured some money from Mr. Sweerey. "I believe he would tell me and if he says hs did, I believe him," he added. That concluded Sir John's avl dence. Commenting on the number of banks who had been summoned before the committee, Hon.

Wesley A. Gordon, chairman of the committee, said they had been brought to Ottawa for the purpose of finding out where the bonda mentioned by John Alrd were. "I quite agree," said Hon. Ian Mackenzie (Vancouver, Centre). "But If the committee wants to make an independent audit of all these things, it means the committee will be here for another three or four week." Royal Bank Man on Stand C.

F. Lennon, manager of the discount department of the Royal Bank of Canada. Toronto, was shown a letter written to Mr. Alrd, on July 14 last, respecting an enumeration of the bonds held by the bank to Mr. Aird's credit.

Hf was asked by Mr. White if he had examined the records prior to signing the letter. Mr. Lennon replied In the negative, and was instructed "to do so now." Answering questions In his examination, he said that $12,000 Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario bonda had been deposited with the bank by Mr. Alrd for the Champlaln Construction on March 27, 1931.

Some of these were for Mr. Alrd personally and others for the company. On June 15 last there were deposited $8,000 province of Saskatchewan and $2,000 province of Alberta bonds, while on July 14 a deposit was made of $10,000 Dominion cf Canada Air loan bonds. This was an ordinary banking transaction, Mr. Lennon told Mr.

Mackenzie. The first deposit, In March, was a hypothecation by Mr. Alrd. The bonda deposited on July 14 were placed against loans advanced to Mr. Alrd by the bank He had no other bonds on deposit except those enumerattd.

"The first transaction was on March 27. Did you have any previous transactions with John Alrd, Jr asked Mr. Muckf nzie. "1 did not; but I can't say If the bank did." $11,000 Advance Advances maue to Mr. Alrd were $11,000 on Murch 27, made In the toim $10,000 demand loan and $1,000 time loan.

"How much was deposited In the two transactions on Juns IS by way of collateral?" Witness replied that $8,000 Province of askatchewan and $12,000 Hydro Electric Power Commission bends had betn id placed. Also on the evening of June 15, he had deposited $20,000 security against advances of "That's correct." "His collateral was thus $2,800 In excess of advances. Had you made any advances to Alrd before July 14?" "Ye. Another tender cheque for $13,200." "What was his obligation on July 14?" "Are you speaking of John Alrd. or his associated companies? His own advance was that of the Champlain Constructon $7,200, and the St.

James Court, $5,500 making In all $22,700." "Is it a usual thing to have collateral deposits In excess of the loans 7" asked J. H. Stewart. Leth bridge. "Yes." Current Account Flat W.

J. F. Ross, assistant manager, securities department, Canadian Bank of Commerce, Toronto, then took the stand. On July 14 last, he said, Mr. Alrd deposited $40,080 in Victory Loan bonds with the bank.

Turning to tha records, he said the current account of air. Alrd was flat and the saving account showed a balance of $17. An overdraft of $3,000 was created in Mr. Aird's account on Dec. 6.

said Mr. Ross. On the following day. $100,000 in 1937 Dominion of Canada bonds was lodged with the bank. Others to Appear Other witnesses who will appear this afternoon wilt be: W.

J. F. Robs, Bank of Commerce, Toronto: D. D. Macleod.

The latter, who has been ill with heart trouble for six months, was not expected to be In condition to appear before the committee, but Senator Raymond, who already has given evidence of his personal association with the company, will be recalled to tell of tha campaign fund contributions.

OBSCURITY VEILS INQUIRY OUTCOME By CHARLES BISHOP From Tha Tribune's Ottawa Bureau Copyright by southern Publishing Ltd.) OTTAWA, July 20 Political observers are prepared to believe that almost anything may happen in the parliamentary situation In the next week or so. Arising out of the Beauharnols affair particularly the campaign fund part of It have been revelations commonly considered to be sensational and astounding. Most people know that campaign funds are necessary radio broadcasting, alone, may coat $50,000, halls and committee rooms have to be hired and canvassers and scrutineers employed and the election act permits it But a distinction is usually drawn between these necessary funds, derived by passing the hat around among a mass of faithful sympathizers and those coming from large corporate concerns which have either got aomething or expect something of a beneficial character as a result of governmental action or legislation. When such sources are disclosed, the pub 11c mind becomes disturbed. In these drab days of depression, the story of money made easily and circulated may awaken mora than a normal resentment Preasure From Quebec At least one leading Liberal member of the committee would have Mr.

King go before It and tell what happened in the period of a year leading up to the approval of the plan from the Federal angle of protecting navigation. There has been the recurrent suggestion that approval was secured by political lnfluei.ee. F. P. Jones, in his evidence, declared that what operated, in the last analysis, waa the pressure from Quebec and the claim that, unless the plan was sanctioned, the lease of the power by the province would be nullified and a half a million yearly, in rentals blocked.

Mr. Taschereau was said to be very insistent. Anyway, the plan was approved and no accusation of ingratitude or parsimony can be levelled against Mr. Sweezey or the company. They thought they had, and they did have, a big thing big In what they already possessed but.

potentially, admitting of that much greater expansion the plans plainly contemplate. The money spent, though large In amount, was only a modest percentage of the future capitalized value of the concession. That there friends say, explains why they were good spenders. Nevertheless, It is denied that money was thrown around recklessly. No doubt there were modest requests or persuasive hints of likely delays or the more dynamic force known as "pressure." Company's Future Puzzles A question commonly asked, apart from the disclosures generally.

Is what is to become of the company? Will It go on or be reorganized or taken over? To many It is Inconceivable that a huge enterprise In which $30,000,000 of capital, largely subscribed by bondholders, will be scrapped but, undoubtedly, further financing Is prejudiced. Down on the ranal the company Is spending $65,000 a day on advances from the banks but they may shut off the supply any day. Then, the operations would cease and several thousand workmen released. It is said that 50.000 men are affected by the various contracts. The Dominion government would need to exercise great caution, If It had any inclination to take over powers which Quebec claims and which the foimer government, after the supreme court Judgement conceded, although the exact title has never been cleared up, satisfactorily.

The Montreal Power Trust which owns the minority interest In Beauharnols, Is financially equipped to carry It through but, It would be urged, that that would only accentuate the monopoly and besides, Sir Herbert Holt, does not appear to be persona grata with the present political powers. The full scheme necesl tates much more of the river's flow. Situation Involved Obscurity thus envelopes the ultimate outcome. The whole situation is most Involved. It links up the company and Its many subsidiaries, three of the leading banks, scores of dealers In investment securities an army of bondholders, one of the political parties, In particular, but with the other, having Its nose In at least, the Quebec corner of the trough, while tha alleged Ontario conrtlubutlon Is in doubt.

Three Liberal senators are concerned though one of them gave what the committee considered a satisfactory account of his relation with the company, but, now, he has to corns and explain the campaign fund of which he was a part custodian. Then there Is the fundamental question of federal and provincial rights Interlocked, in a way, with the relative merits of public and private ownership. The former, popular elsewhere, has no foothold In Quebec. It Is a condition of things that Is very sensational, but, also. Very bewildering.

As to what it will lead to, there is no Identity of view anywhere. MANITOBA SECURES NO CONTRIBUTION; HODGSON By Canadian Preee CHARLOTTETOWN, July 20 Dr. P. C. Hodgson, president of the Conservative association of Manitoba, in a statement to the Canadian press here, corroborated the statement of R.

O. Sweezey, of tha Beaucharnols Power company, before the parliamentary committee investigating the Beaucharnols project on Friday last, to tha effect that the Conservative organisation of Manitoba had received no contributions from Sweezey or the Beauharnols company. Dr. Hodgson's statement follows: "I arranged for Garland, Campbell and Irving to make a trip from the west to visit Beauharnols as the company was having different groups visit the works. I was invited to go and bring these people with me which I did.

All they got wa their expenses. I never at any time received more than expenses. Manitoba received no political contributions." The three Beauharnols visitors mentioned by Dr. Hodgson are E. J.

Garland. Milton Campbell and W. J. Irvine, U.F.A., members of parliament, whose hotel expenses were paid when they Inspected the Beauharnols development, according to the testimony ot Mr. Sweezey.

Gaby, chief engineer, and Hon. M. Ferguson sat in at the meeting." ROYAL COMMISSION MAY CONTINUE INVESTIGATION By Canedlan Preee TORONTO, July 20 Recommendation that a royal commission continue the inquiry now being made by a parliamentary committee Into the Beauharnols power project might be made by the committee, in the opinion or Baker, Toronto North east, sufficient evidence had been brought out, he thought, to warrant such a commission to carry on the inquiry as exhaustively as possible. The parliamentary committee would be unable to conclude Its hearings by the end of the week, when parliament is scheduled to adjourn, he believed. CLAIMS N.Y.
