Phillips, head of the British delegation, after just a- vigorous defence of the code had "Britain may be forced to reconsider whether it is willing to enter any agreement if the will ot the majority is not imposed." While the vote to eliminate the code was 28 to 10, Mr. Phillips said those ten votes represented far more code users than the other twenty-eielit.

CATHOLIC SAILORS' CLUB Bound to Rise Shortly, Declares Savile Row Merchant on Visit Here AUSTRALIAN WOOL CLIP Wool Market Has Little Effect on Clothing Is Statement London Hous-.

ing Problem Easier Contrary to general the slate of the Australian wool clip, whether it be good or bad, has little or no effect on the price of clothes made from It. The crux of tho situation lies In the fact that tljere are about nine middlemen through whose hands the wool passes before it gets to the public. This fact was emphasized to The Gazette yesterday by T. Osborne, a director of John Cooper and Company, one ot the old established firms of cloth dealers ot riavile Row, London, during the course of an interview in the Windsor Hotel. Mr.

Osborne is in Canada on business for his firm and stated that it had dealt with one Montieal tailoring company for up wards of one hundred years. "At the moment." he said, "the price of clothes made from the better woollens is as low as It is likely to be for a long time. It is bound to rise shortly and then a further drop is not expected for some long period. The number of hands through which the clip passes before it gets to the person who wears it brings the price up above wnat it should De. HOUSING PROBLEM EASIER.

The situation in London is one of interest at the moment. Mr. Os borne remarked. There has been construction of apartment houses lar beyond all reason and the build ers are feeling the reaction. The Englishman is essentially a home-bird and likes to own his house and the few square yards of land which surround it.

Therefore, the apartment house moguls are find-in? it Impossible to let their structures and the added facility which the recent years have given Londoners in getting about has made lire in the suburbs very simple. The result has been that the model dwellings have been snapped up and the more outlying districts such as Croydon, Collindale and Ilendon are becoming important parts of the metropolis. Little gardens are a part of most houses and in these tne Londoner finds solace from the toil of the day in the The era of apartments is fast coming to a close and the owner will once more find himself proprietor of the hearth before which he Uvea.

Tait, of McGill, Declares World Is Overworked SOCIAL ORDER CHANGING Present Conditions Preface Different Form of Civilization, General Accountants' Body Told The day is not far distant when the four-day week will be in vogue. Prof. W. D. Tait.

McGill University, told the first general meeting of the General Accountants Association last night in the Biology Building. His topic was "Psychological Tests in Business arid Industry." At the outset. Dr. Tait said he couldn't subscribe to the idea that the world is experiencing a depression. In his 'opinion, present conditions preface a change in the form of civilization.

are about due for a different sort of social order, not communism by any means," he hastened to remark. Briefly, there are two tests that can be applied to individuals to guage their efficiency, Dr. Tait pointed out. There is the test of an individual's capacity, referring in the main to inherited traits, wnile, on the other hand, there are those tests of aoilities, which deal with the skill acquired during one's lifetime. Psychological tests in business and industry are invaluable, lor, most important, they can measure intelligence and compare persons as to their respective fitnesa for certain vocations, Germany, Dr.

Tait said, leads the world in a practical application of these tests. It is now possible, by means of scientific Jnstrumente. to measure the speed with which one responds to all situations. In like manner, the steadiness ot the hand, useful in engraving or surgery; accuracy of aim, the ability to concentrate, the ability to string discs or fit bolts, to feel surfaces, useful in ttxtile Industries, can be guaged. INTERESTING RESULTS Many and interesting have been the results obtained by a practical use ot psychological tests in business and industry.

Dr. Tait continued. Accidents have been reduces to a minimum, the happy choice of the right type of workmen to do certain jobs brought greater efficiency, with less amount of energy expended. The world, in fact, Is overworked. Mofe and better work can be done by the proper placement of individuals in employment, Dr.

Tait maintained. He believed that a greater realization of the practic ability of psychological test in business and industry would make possible fewer working hours per day and fewer working days per week. Better workmanship would Ik. possible and human beings would have more Independence, leisure and time to improve their condition by educaiion. William Bentley, C.G.A., presi dent, was In the chair.

He an nounced that the lecture commutes had gone to a great deal of trouble to get the type of lecturers that would draw capacity P. C. Cole, chairman of the lecture committee, took the opportunity of thanking McGill University and the Board of Trade for their co-operation in making possible the attendance of their foremost lecturers at the series of lectures that will take place throughout the season.

FLAYS CANADIAN POLICY British Trade Expert Criti cizes Dominion's Industry Calgary, October 3.

One of the foremost experts on trade matters in Great Britain, H. Morris, of Manchester, does not think Canada i-s pursuing the right policies. "During the last three years we have exported less of our goods to Canada than for many years before. And this is due to a great extent to conditions in Dominion and to your rediculous tariff policies," he declared. "If your wheat belts are down, the whole of Canada is down and all the manufacturers ot eastern Canada cannot alter the situation.

These tariffs are responsible for the high cost of living in the Dominion and you people out in the west have to pay through the nose for all you get as the result. "The manufacturers in eastern Canada attempt to manufacture far too much," he maintained. "Where we in England, with a large factory employing thousands, would only manufacture one line of textile, manufacturers in eastern Canada try to produce numerous lines. This makes the cost of production much higher and out of all proportion to the cost of Mving. "It is you people In the west who eventually have to pay for it," he concluded.

Concert for Seamen Tonight's concert at the Sailors' Institute will, as usual, be made up of ahip and shore talent. Conrert parties are expected from the many ships in port, including the As-cania, Letitia, Lady Rodney and the Duchess of York. The Royal Montreal Regiment's brass quartette will play a number of instrumental selections; Bert Eason, tenor, and Jack Roberts, comedian, will also take part. A programme of songs. Instrumental pieces and dances is being; arranged by Mrs.

T. Preparation for Upswing in Business Urged by Col. Wilfrid Bovey EXTRA-MURAL LECTURES Special Courses Available Through McGill and Other Institutions Stressed in Radio Address In anticipation of the upswing in business that is said to be ahead, this is the time for young men and women to so that they may be able to slip into the places that will open as soon conditions improve, Col. Wilfrid Bovcy, director of the department of extra-mural relations at McGill University, suggested In a radio address from Station C'KAC last night. He was speaking on the educational opportunities available In this city to those who are unable to attend universities during tho regular houre.

wide field lies before you young men and women who will be at the helm of Canadian business during the next few years," Col. Bovey said. "Whether you succeed or not depends upon your determination to make yourselves efficient, and upon the energy with which you pursue such opportunities as those which are open today." In speaking of the courses available. Col. Bovey mentioned those In commercial education carried on in the evenings by the Montreal Board of Trade, "specially designed for ambitious young people who want to obtain a really good commercial education." Diplomas are awarded for these courses, and of these Col.

Bovey said: "I need hardly point out just how valuable is a diploma which carries with it the corporate approval ot our leading men of business. They know how thorough is the work that leads up to it, how high a standard is set fo-the examinations, and they have a full appreciation of the sound qualifications which the holder must possess." "Then there are the McGill extension given at the university and of the same standard as those offered to undergraduates, but open to all of you whether yon ever matriculated or not. You will find a great variety. You may study English or Chinese, psychology or philosophy, religion, history or sociology. Some of the courses are designed for professional men, that for instance in minor oral surgery; some of them for those whose callings require much technical knowledge, metallography and steel treating, for example.

SCHOOL OF COMMERCE. "The staff of the school ot commerce has organized a four-year course for training young men who wish to become accountants, the lectures being given in the afternoons." i Col. Eovey explained that he wa not professing to give anything like a complete catalogue, but only speaking of those courses with which McGill in connected. He mentioned, however, the School ot Higher Commercial Studies, the Sir George Williams College of the Y.M.C.A., and the Adult Education Association work at the Y.M.H.A. For those who could not attend lectures the radio offered many fine chances for education, the McGill director felt.

There was the Provincial Hour, for instance, with a lecture in English every fortnight, Canadian history being the subject for this fall; also the National Council of Education programme, which proved so popular last year. Col. Bovey also mentioned the lyeeum lectures which might be given by members of the McGill staff to any group which made arrangements for them. The weekly meetings at the Mechanics Institute formed a lecture series of great value and interest. Canada's position in the future will be assured If her young people take advantage of the opportunities offered to Increase their knowledge and efficiency, Col.

Bovey believed. AHUNTSIC CITIZENS DISCUSS PROBLEMS Aid.

CODE CHANGES OPPOSED U.S.-Eritieh Delegates Unanimous at Conference (Special Cable to The New York Times and Montreal tiazette.) Madrid, October 3.

When busi ness is struggling In a depression It is no time to embark on venturej detrimental ti 'commerce, Walter Lichtensteln. American delegate to tho International radio and tele graph conference told the tariff Evidence Concluded Defence and Prosecution Addresses Delivered SELF-DEFENCE STRESSED Accused's Counsel Claims Extreme Provocation Children's Testimony Is Protested (Ey Gazette Staff Correspondent) Jolietto. October 3. The fate of Albert Preville, charged with the brutal murder of Mrs. Joseph Men-dor at St.

Damien on January lb last, will go into the hands of the jury tomorrow morning at the conclusion of Mr. Justice Louis Cousin-eau's charge. Defence and Crown addressed the jury this afternoon after a short morning session, at which the only interesting bit of evidence was the statement of Laporte, St. Gabriel de Brandon hardware merchant, that six days before the crime, Alphonse l'reville. brother of the accused and himself charged with murder in the same connection, purchased a knife similar to the one the Crown alleg-es was used to cut Mrs.

Mondor's throat. In his address to the jury this afternoon, Alexandre Rivest, local Crown prosecutor, set aside Laporte statement, first, as being uncorroborated, second, as being unimportant in view of the fact that Albert Preville had been seen leaving the Mondor house with the dripping knife In his hand and had later surrendered It to his aunt, Mrs. Octave Grandchamps, with the request that she wrap it up. Laporte identified Alphonse Preville as the man who had purchased the knife because Alphonse has a noticeable cast in one eye. The defence attorney, Gerard Denis, this afternoon set before the jury a number of theories of the crime, any one of which, he declared, was plausible.

He did not claim truth for any particular theory, but on the assumption that all were plausible, sought to convince the jury that they must be in some doubt and must give the accused the benefit of the doubt. The self-defence contention, advanced by inference in cross examination of Crown witnesses, was stressed by defence counsel, who laid down a groundwork for the idea that Albert, it he participate in me killing at all, had done so under ex- either his brother or Mrs. Mondor or both. It was clear, counsel staled, that at one time all three, Mrs. Mondor, Alphonse and Albert, were in the Mondor house together and that a quarrel ensued, but who precipitated the quarrel, who started the attack which ended with Mrs.

Mondor's death, who wielded the knife, was not clear. The Crown has tried to show that Albert was jealous of Mrs. Mondor's preference for Alphonse. Who could say, counsel asked, that Alphonse was not also jealous and his jealousy, because' it was not articulate, as Albert's was, might not have been deeper and more bitter? Who could say, then, who started the attack? EVIDENCE DISCREDITED. Mr.

Denis discredited the evidence of Aurore Mondor, eight-year-old daughter of the victim, Omer Robi-taille and Maiyice Mondor, a nephew, three children who testified, first, on the ground that two of them did not know the nature of an oath; second, that there were contradictions in their own evidence; third, that they had been contradicted by other witnesses. Counsel stressed, too. the fact that Dr. Fontaine's evidence no mention was made of the presence of blood on Albert's clothes, and if he had cut Mrs. Mondor's throat in the brutal manner described by the Crown, his clothes would have shown signs of the struggle, Mr.

Denis pleaded for an acquittal, or, if not an acquittal, a manslaughter verdict. Alexandre Rives't, for the Crown, discarded the self-defence and manslaughter theories of the defence as being untenable in the light of the evidence. He stressed the brutality of the murder, the fact that the woman's throat was slashed from ear to ear, that nine other knife wounds and three bullet wounds were found in her body, most of them inflicted after death. Such a killing precluded the possibility that the accused had acted in self-defence or that it could have been manslaughter, which required an element of accident to make it tenable. Jealousy and a desire for revenge actuated tne murderer.

Crown counsel contended, and in a review of the events leading up to the killing, emphasized the statement that on two occasions Albert Preville had declared his determination to kill if he were thwarted. In his view, Albert precipitated the quarrel which led to the murder when, after refusing the chair offered him by Mrs. Mondor, he walked over to her, whispe'red something in her ear and evoked her cry, "My God," and called to Alphonse to hold Albert. It was then, the Crown contended, that Albert pulled a gun, Shot his brother once and Mrs. Mondor once, then fired at his brother again as he went through the door holding an injured g.

After following his brother out of the house he went to the home of a neignbor, where remorse overlook him and he bade them adieu, saying he would meet them in the next world. But his desire for revenge was strong and he returned to the Mondor home to finish the grim task he had started with a bullet. The defence had declared there was no evidence that Albert owned a revolver before the crime. Huw did it happen, then, the Crown asked, that when he surrendered a revolver to Come Mondor, Mayor of bt. Damien, he surrendered fifteen bullets with it? Moreover, he had avowed his crime to several people.

The sobs of Joseph Mondor, h-g-band of the victim, broke the stillness of the courtroom as Mr. Rivest ended on a note of pity for the husband left without the companionship of his wife and three small children left without a mother's care. He was helped from the room as counsel closed with a demand for a conviction for murder. The crowd which tried to enter the courtroom was so great that in the rush to get places for the afternoon session, the doors of the courthouse were broken in. Airways' Winter Schedule Coincident with the inauguration of the winter schedule of Canadian Colonial Airways' Montreal-New.

Bracken Denies He Knlw of Shortages Before Election Winnipeg, October 3. Emphatic denial that he had had any knowledge or even suspicion that things were not right at the University of Manitoba until after the general elections in July were over was made here tonight by ITemier John Bracken. Addressing members of the young men's section of the Winnipeg Board of Trade, Mr. Bracken dealt with Evidence being given before the board of Inquiry investigating the loss of $1,000,000 in university funds, and the position of John A. Machray, K.C., former bursar.

The aged lawyer is now serving seven years for theft of $500,000 from the university. Tonight, the Premier also declared that no other member of the Government, so far as he had been informed, had any knowledge of university losses, or defalcations prior to the elections beyond the hint of the possibility of- trouble contained in Comptroller-General Robert Drummond's confidential letter to Hon. R. A. Hoey, Minister of Education, which ended with the- statement that Mr.

Drummond had no reason to suspect that anything was wrong. This letter had been sent to Mr. Hoey in May. 1932. REV.

HAROLD LAWS APPOINTED RECTOR Takes Over New Duties at St. Stephen's, Westmount, November 6th Announcement was made last night that the Rev. Harold S. Laws, rector of St. Matthew's Anglican Parish, Notre Dame de Grace, has been appointed rector of St.

Stephen's, Westmount, by Bishop Farthing. He will take over his new duties the first Sunday in Novem ber. St. Stephen's, at the corner of Dorchester street and Atwater avenue, was left without a rector on the resignation of the Rev. Dr.

Frank Charters, who had been the incumbent of the Westmount church for a number of years. He was superannuated recently. The Rev. Mr. Laws is a graduate of the University of Bishop's College, Lennoxville, and served overseas with Canadian infantry and field artillery units.

After the war he was appointed assistant priest of Trinity Memorial Parish, where he remained for two years and a half. He then went to St. Cuthbert's, Montreal, and later to a mission parish eight years ago. During his incumbency St. Matthew's became a self-supporting parish and undertook an ambitious programme of building construction costing $40,000.

The old church was enlarged and later with the growth of the district it was decided to build a church and hall suitable to the needs of the congregation. The basement hall was opened by Bishop Farthing and is now used as a temporary church, the building plan calling for a church over the hall. The congregation also bought a rectory. The first rector of St. Stephen's was the late Dean Evans, at whose death the Rev.

Dr. Charters became rector. STATES SEEK RELIEF IN DIVERSION CASE Prosecution of Work by Chicago Sanitary District Urged Before Court (By The Associated Press.) Washington, October 3. Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin protested today to the Supreme Court that Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District are not complying with the court's decision in the Lake Michigan diversion case. Attorney-General Bettman, of Ohio, representing the attorneys-general of the other three states, asked and obtained permission to file a motion looking to the court i taking action to enforce its decree ot April, 1930, under which Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District were required to cease practically all diversion of water from Lake Michigan by 1938, meantime constructing other sewage disposal works.

The decision required the Chicago Sanitary District to make periodic progress reports to the court. In a statement, Attorney-General Bettman asserted that at the rate the work had progressed before it ceased entirely some time ago, it would have required 37 years instead of the eight allowed by the court to construct the sewage disposal plants. The court will decide, probably next Monday, whether it will order Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District to show why the relief asked by the four lake states should not be granted. The Sanitary District in its reports to the court has stressed the lack of funds to prosecute the work. Should the court find -there is sufficient ground to grant the relief asked by the four states it must decide how this can be obtained.

The complaining states would have the court designate a representative' with power to raise funds on the credit of Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District to push the construction work to completion. Attorney-General Bettman insisted that such action was necessary to preserve the rights of the four states in the waters of the Great Lakes and pointed out measures to complete the construction work at this time would contribute to the relief of the unemployment situation. It is not often the Supreme Court finds it necessary to take action to enforce Its decrees 'and it is problematical just what the court may do should it decide Illinois and the Chicago Sanitary District have wilfully failed to carry out it orders. Local Firemen Sponsor Thursday's Extra Concert The Catholic Sailors' Club will be the venue for two sailor concerts this week. On Wednesday, Rev.

M. T. O'Brien, P.P., will preside at the entertainment to be provided by members of St. Anthony's parish. It is noteworthy that St.

Anthony's first parish concert given for visiting seamen took place thirty-six years ago and has always been one very greatly appreciated by the directors of the Sailors' Club. Thursday's extra concert will be sponsored by tho Montreal Fire Department under the chairman ship of Acting Chief Christopher Carson. This entertainment has been an annual presentation since 1914 when the late Chief Gauth'er became interested in sailer welfare work, an activity which he held very dear. Acting Chief Car3on has kindly consented to carry on the good work for the benefit of seafarers visiting the port. WILLIAM TREMBLAY FAVORS WATERWAY Maisonneuve ''Independent" Portrays Advantages at Labor Club Meeting William Tremblay, for Maisonneuve county, and dynamic "independent" political leader of the riding, was re-elected president of the Maisonneuve Labor Club by acclamation at a largely attended meeting held last night in the Buffalo Temple, Lelourneux street.

Previous to his re-election Mr. Tremblay delivered an address on the vexed topic of the canalization of the St. Lawrence waterways. Contrary to his custom, he remained exceedingly cool in his recital of the advantages that would accrue to the citizens of the Dominion if plans such as devised by governmental leaders of Canada and the United States, carried. Right at the outset he m' litioned that he was not one whit interested in the political aspects ot the scheme.

The country, he stated, had suffered more than enough from political machinations, and he believed, that In the waterways' case everyone should be broad-minded enough to cast aside all thought of political allegiance and favor a proposal of wide ramifications and of certain benefit to all Canadians. He had drafted a resolution in which it was urged of the federal and provincial governments that they hasten all arrangements in connection with the undertaking so that work might be started and employment given to thousands of jobless men.
