Canberra, Australia, December 10. An Australian political crisis may result if the Commonwealth Bank remains adamant to the demands of the Labor party caucus in connection with returns to Australian wheat growers. Hon. J.

E. Fenton, acting Prime Minister, stated in the House of Representatives today that the caucus had asked the Government to introduce legislation for an initial payment to growers of half-a-crown a bushel, 60 cents, instead of 48 cents. It is necessary for the bank to guarantee this payment. If appropriation of the necessary funds is defeated in the Senate and the Commonwealth Banks stands firm, It is expected a crisis will be reached early In the new year; that both houses will be dissolved and Labor will fight a new general election on the issue as defined by the caucus of "The banks versus the people." ASSAILANT EXAMINED Hamaguchi Aggressor Was Political Fanatic Toklo, December 10.

The reports disclosed opposition to the London Naval Treaty figured largely in Sagoya's motives and that two accomplices had been held and indicted on charges of attempted murder. Authorities said the accomplices, Ainosuke Iwata, president of the Alkokusha or "Love of Country" As sociation, and Yosjikatsu Matsuki, a member of the organization, assisted Sagoya in the plot. 1 Iwata was described as a man of strong and narrowly patriotic ideas and was accused of having given Sago ya a desire to assassinate the Premier. Matsuki was asserted to have provided pistol target practice for Sagoya on the outskirts of Toklo. Officers stated they had not found any connection betwen the accused men and any responsible political element or individual.

RAN INTO BREAKWATER SS. Prince Leopold Made Port Safely No Passengers Hurt Dover, England, December 11. (Thursday) Passengers aboard the Belgian steamer Prince Leopold, arriving late last night from Ostend, received a rough Jolt through the ship crashing into the southern breakwater of the harbor during an extremely heavy fog, but no one was injured. The steamer backed off with a buckled stem and crept safely to her berth. The Prince Leopold, a vessel of tons, belongs to the Belgian Gov ernment.

DEFENCE IS OPENED IN BANK NOTE SUIT- Banco de Portugal Takes Action for $5,000,000 Against Waterlow Sons (Special Cable to The New York' Times and Montreal Gazette.) London, December 10. Waterlow Sons, famous London firm of banknote printers, opened their defence today in an amazing $5,000,000 claim by the Banco de Portugal, bankers to the Portuguese Government, who assert that Waterlow's issued notes made to the bank's specification to an unauthorized person, a Dutchman named Marang. Mara'ng's associates, according to the indictment, formed the Bank de Angola E. Met-ropole in Portugal to put these notes into circulation. The notes, ach valued at about $25, bore the portrait of Vasco Da Gama, circumnavigator of the globe, and the bank alleges they were forced to withdraw from circulation all the notes Waterlow's had printed to this pat- tern, and honor ail of them which' were presented, thus suffering considerable loss.

Waterlow's deny any breach of contract or duty, or that they were guilty of negligence and declare If the bank suffered any loss it was due to the bank's own negligence. Norman Birkett, one of the leading British attorneys, appearing for Waterlow's, today said in 1924 nobody in the world could have conceived for a single moment when. Marang entered Waterlow's office that he was the innocent tool of a gang of swindlers or principal of the gang. Marang, said counsel, bore as an introduction from a Dutch firm well-known to Waterlow's, a sealed contract in Portuguese whereby a man named Reis (one of the alleged conspirators) was entitled to get notes printed for the Banco Anglo E. Metropole, also a Portuguese diplomatic passport plus a certificate by the Portuguese Minister at The Hague, vouching that the power of attorney executed by Reis, which Marang had, was valid.

Counsel admitted that Sir William Waterlow had been warned by his Lisbon agent that the Bank of Portugal had nothing to do with the issue of notes for Angola, but Waterlow was aware that his agent did not know what Marang told him in confidence about Portuguese finances and the unsatisfactory condition of the finances of the Government of Angola. Both contracts wihich Marang produced, said counsel, looked official the one between Reis and the Government of'Angola, the other between the Bank of Portugal and the Government of Angola and these were left with Waterlow's and shown to the com- pany's solicitor. "The company's solicitor." con-1 tlnued counsel "thought it better to draft a confidential letter to the Governor of the Bank of Portugal, and it has been suggested that it was negligence for Sir William Waterlow to have handed this letter to Marang for conveyance to the Governor, instead of sending it through the post. But Marang had been vouched for. by trusted persons, and it is, only now since fraud has been revealed that anyone had reason to suspect him." The satisfactory answer to the let ter was received through the Portuguese Minister at The Hague, and "how was Sir William to kr.ow that the Minister was dealing wholesale In forged documents?" The notes, according to counsel.

went Into Portugal 'in Marang" baggage under the protection of a Portuguese diplomatic passport granted by Antonio Bandelra, Min ister at The Hague, and were in circulation a year before suspicion: was aroused. Meantime Marang ordered a isecond consignment from Waterlow's. The case was adjourned. the Chance of Month Slip By? sure Income has been devised by thi Canada Life.

i 1 iiiiiiniiiiiiiiiti WRIGLEY DECIDES Not an Advertising Stunt, President Explains in Announcing Policy PROFIT ANTICIPATED Plan Will Eelieve Strain on Pools and Price Per Bushel Likely to Go Up Toronto, December 10. William Wrlgley Company, Limited, has decided all money owing it in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta from December 12, 1930, to May 1, 1931, shall be accumulated to purchase wheat for delivery in May, 1931, P. A. Ross, president of the company announced tonight. In other words, he said, the company proposes to take wheat in exchange for the firm products.

The purpose. Col. Ross said, was threefold: 1 The company does not take cash out of Western Canada, but on the contrary leaves its money in Western Canada, in Western Canada's own coin wheat. 2 The company believes wheat at 65 cents a bushel is cheap, and the company will make money by locking up some of the company's resources in wheat and holding it indefinitely if necessary. 3 The company believes the plan will relieve, to the extent of its ability, a carrying strain on farmers, pools, western business and banks, at this critical time in Western Canada's affairs.

Announcing the formation of the "Wrigley wheat investment fund to buy and hold one million bushels of Canadian wheat," Mr. Ross said the offer was "in no sense a gamble, nor is it an advertising stunt." In a letter addressed to wholesalers of the firm in the Prairie Provinces, made public with his announcement, Mr. Ross says: "If wheat goes up, as we feel is probable, we will profit But, if it goes down, we become partners with the west, and as such, take our loss with them. Our real object is to let Western Canada pay us in kind pay in wheat for what the west owes us." In his statement, Mr. Ross announced that the Bank of Montreal and Dominion Bank would handle the company's investment fund, receiving moneys paid and purchasing the wheat.

It was intimated that purchases would be made through the recognized channels. The statement stipulates that the fund will only buy wheat at or below the price of 65 cents a bushel, basis No. 1 northern in store at Port William, Port Arthur or Vancouver. If the price remains within this figure, the company's holdings would be increased from month to month, depending upon the amount collected for the fund by the wholesalers. Trading would be confined to the May future as the statement specifies that the money owing the company in the three prairie provinces "shall be accumulated to purchase wheat for delivery in May, 1931." Wheat for May delivery was quoted on the Winnipeg Grain Exchange today at 64 to 64 cents, but the company plan does not go into effect until next Friday and the amount of money that will be avail able for immediate purchases on that day 4s unknown.

If the price of wheat, however, becomes temporarily stabilized between 60 and 65 cents, the company, ac cording to its avowed intention of accumulating a maximum of a mil lion bushels, will have Invested more than $600,000. The wholesalers will receive from the company a bonus of one cent for each bushel bought by his remit tances, Mr. Ross announcement kertates. A certificate will be sent for each purchase. "We suggest," the announcement adds, "that this certificate be dis played in your office, showing as it will your confidence in taking wheat instead of cash." Says Brownlee Edmonton, December 10.

"It sounds interesting," said Premier J. E. Brownlee here tonight when queried regarding the Wrigley wheat purchasing plans, "but I do not care to make any comment at this time." LABOR PREMIER INTERVENES IN INDIAN PROBLEM (Continued from Page One) legislatures, in proportion, Just as Republicans would expect as a matter of course to control Pennsylvania or the Democrats Texas. The Hindus object. "WEIGHT AGE" AS SAFEGUARD In all other provinces of British India, the Mohammedans have only small minorities of the population, ranging as low as ten per In these regions they want assurance of minority representation, somewhat In excess of what the exact proportion to the number of their adherents would be.

For example, if they have ten per cent population in any given province, they ask for representation on the basis of seventeen per cent, to give what they call "weightage" as a safeguard of their communal interests. The third demand of the Moslems Is for separate electorates, by means of which the Mohammedans would vote entirely by themselves for their own candidates. The Hindus, on the contrary, insist on Joint electorates, In which all voters of both religions would vote in common for the prescribed number of candidates in each community. The Hindu argument Is that the purpose of the round table conference Is to give a constitution to all of India, in which all religious differences must be submerged to make way for common citizenship. Inasmuch as there are 150,000,000 Hindus and only 70,000,000 Moslems, the latter are sceptical on this point Whether the controversy la settled or not, the conference will finish the Former U.S.

Secretary of State Finds No Indication of War in World WARNING GIVEN Oslo Gathering Told Western Civilization Could Not Withstand Another Conflict (Associated Press Cable.) Oslo, Norway. December -10. Sounding a confident note on world peace, but at the same time warning that western civilization could not withstand a new war, Frank B. Kellogg, whose efforts toward world peace resulted in the Kellogg-Brland pact, today received the Nobel Peace Prize for 1929. The former United States Secretary of State, fifth of his countrymen to win the award, received the diploma and medal from Professor Frederick Stang, president ot the No- bel committee.

In an address preceding the presentation, Premier Johan Nowlnckel described Mr. Kellogg as "the man practical politics," contrasting him with Dr. Nathan Soederblom, winner oi the 1930 award, whom the Premier termed "a man of the Church and a spiritual warrior." 'I npm i i 1 1 i i 1 1 1 1 ui clared in acknowledging the award.

"I know of no nobler work for humanity than promoting peace. Men must adopt higher and greater goals than that of settling International quarrels by arms. "Leading statesmen have taken steps to prevent a new catastrophe, and while, these measures are no absolute guaranty of peace, they are the most secure arrangements hitherto adopted by the nations." Mr.

Kellogg said he regarded the award not only as an honor to himself but to his country as well, and as a recognition of the United States efforts toward peace and a higher civilization. The playing of the Swedish national anthem was the signal for Dr. Soederblom to receive the 1930 Peace Award. Dr. Soederblom has long been active in the cause of world peace.

Lewis Gets Award Stockholm, December 10. Sinclair Lewis, who told Americans about themselves bringing out some details they hadn't thought about be- fore, today received the coveted Nobel prize for literature. With him in the auditorium of Stockholm's concert hall, bright with flowers and bedecked with flags and banging rugs, three other leaders in their fields received Nobel awards Dr. Karl Landsteiner, of the Roske- feller Institute, New Tork; Sir Chan-drasekhara Venkata Raman, of In dia, for physics and Professor Hans Fischer, of Germany, for chemistry- The prizes, including cheques, were handed them by King Gustav V. Facing the stage where sat the winners were the most notable men and women in the Swedish national life, and on the left was a crescent- shaped group formed by members of the Swedish Nobel Institute.

Raman, who came first, was introduced by President Pleijil of the Nobel physics committee, and after an address the famous Indian stepped down from the stage, glided rather than walked to the King, bow ed his turbaned head to the floor and was given his prize. The ceremony was repeated with Herr Fischer and Dr. Landsteiner, both of whom, however, stood erect before the King and shook hands with him to the accompaniment of frantic applause. Finally it was Lewis' turn. Dr.

A. E. Karlfeldt permanent secretary of the Swedish academy, who introduced the author, began by descrlbr lng the characteristics of three of his works "Main Street," "Babbitt" and "Elmer Gantry." Dr. Karlfeldt said the United States was still a melting pot, and hadn't yet settled down. American literature, he said, was being created, and it was a promising Indication for the future that this literature was characterized by self-criticism.

Lewis listened to the speech with his arms folded, then walked from the stage, stood before the King and received the prize. MRS. M. MORRIS BURIED Funeral Service Attended by Many Mourners Many prominent members of the Jewish community of this city paid last tribute to Mrs. M.

Rykoff, who at various times has been under suspicion by the Stalin faction of the Communist party, and at one time made a humble retraction of his "heretical" activities, was named as another conspirator.

The plans failed, said the Mall, at the zero hour, because of Stalin superior spy system and hundreds were arrested. None of the leaders was mentioned as having been arrested the paper said "Ry-koffs fate is sealed."

PARTICIPATION (Continued from Page One) lng that the subject should be disposed of at the present short session of Congress. The hope expressed Dy me president that the protocols would be arteH cm soon as nossible after the supply and unemployment relief bills have been passed meets me wishes of the ardent supporters of the nrotocols.

but does not remove the existing doubt tiiat there will be time enough for Congress to tane action. Senator Borah, who Is opposed to membership of the United States in the tribunal, showed" that he did not intend to be hasty in getting the protocols out of the foreign relations committee. Less than two months of the current session will remain when, in his opinion, that committee will authorize him to submit the protocols for the Senate's consideration. It was evident from what he said that he does know what the attitude of the Senate will be toward taking them up at this session. Another member of the foreign relations committee, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, expressed what appears to be a view to which a good many senators subscribe In saying that he was opposed to consideration of the protocols at the present session, but he had not determined what his attitude toward them would be until he had opportunity to study the Root formula.

Several, and perhaps a considerable number of Democratic senators, take the same position, and it appears likely that when the protocols emerge from the committee there will be much opposition to taking them up before all necessary legislation has been disposed of. Senators favoring ratification, but who are apprehensive of the effect of taking up the protocols at an early date, fear that if they are brought up, the way will be laid for a prolonged debate, designed to prevent action on the appropriation measures'and force the President to call the next Congress into extra session. The Root formula-is the only controversial feature of the protocols. This is a rewriting of the reservation with respect to advisory opinions of the Court, adopted by the Senate when it ratified the original protocols in January, 1926. That original reservation rejected the right of the Court to render an advisory opinion on any matter in which the United States has or claims an interest.

This proved unacceptable to other nations and it was redrafted, by Elihu Root in collaboration with Sir Cecil Hirst. The Root formula provides, in effect, that whenever an advisory opinion of the Court is requested the United States shall be notified and have an opportunity to voice objections. Should there be objections time would be afforded for discussion with the United States and if the arguments advanced by this Government were not considered convincing then it could withdraw from membership "without reproach or ill-will," as President Hoover expressed it in his message. Of the five reservations made by the Senate to the original protocols, four have been accepted by the Court's members. If the Senate ratifies the fifth or advlsary reservation, the way for the entrance of the United States into full membership in the Court will be cleared.

Senator Hiram W. Johnson, of California, a long-standing opponent of the Court, made this statement: "The President presents the so-called World Court. What kind of a court Is this, thus characterized by the President?" "We cannot be summoned before this court. We can from time to time seek its services by agreement with other nations. These protocols permit our withdrawal from the Court at any time without reproach or ill-will." APARTMENT DAMAGED Stubborn Blaze in Premises on Tupper Street A Are, which was caused by a lighted candle which had been carried into the clothes cupboard In one of the apartments, threatened the Cambria Apartments at 2116 Tupper street with destruction at 8.22 o'clock last night.

The firemen were on the scene for nearly three hours before the fire was extinguished. Although considerable damage was done, no one was Injured. The fire started In apartment IB, occupied by Saul Simon. Simon, District Chief Ruddy learned, said he had entered the clothes cupboard with a lighted candle. The flame ignited one of the coats and as a result the fire soon spread.

Upon arrival of firemen under District Fire Chief Ruddy, the flames were threatening the entire building and immediately an alarm was sounded for additional men and apparatus. This brought Deputy Chief Carson and District Chief Bernier to the scene. The blase was finally checked after a stiff fight. Photographing the lnlde of the stomach is accomplished with a tiny camera, known as a "gaatropnotor." THIS COUPON WILL BRING BOOKLET BY MAIL CANADA LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, Toronto, Ont.
