Mayor Lauds Work of Col.G.P. Murphy Ottawa Fortunate at Times Like These To Have Citizens of His Caliber. High appreciation of the services rendered by Col. G. P.

Murphy as chairman of the Public Welfare Board was expressed on behalf of the city in a letter sent by Mayor Stanley Lewis to Mrs. Murphy. The Mayor said: "I received your letter today and assure you it is with real sorrow that we realize it is not possible for Colonel Murphy to continue in the office in which he has served with heart and soul from the organization of the Public Welfare Board until his illness. "In times such as these we are fortunate indeed if we can find citizens such AS Colonel Murphy who are willing to spend time and thought and energy in the service of the city for no payment except the satisfaction of serving their city and their fellow citizens. I know that the City Council and the Public Welfare Board deeply regret the necessity for his resignation.

His advice and leadership will be greatly missed and I want to express to yott my own deep appreciation and gratitude for all he has done. In saying this I know I speak for the MR. E. P. WHAN, A graduate Medalist the and Gold College of Optometry nOW C.D8.

MeLAINE, chief of the division of foreign pests suppression, entomological branch, Department Agriculture, who was elected president of tine American Association of Economic Entomologists at the annual meeting held in St. Louis, recently. Canadian Asked Geneva To Take Definite Stand (Continued from Page One). Let them show the world. Mr.

Ferguson urged, that the League was no longer to be scoffed or laughed at but that it meant business, that when a breach of the covenant took place, it proposed to deal with the aggressor in the proper way. Would Lose Prestige. Otherwise the League and the assembly would have lost their prestige and influence in the world and might well be dissolved. If the delegations were not at Geneva to see that the covenant was carried out, said Mr. Ferguson, there was no purpose in their being there at He suggested that the committee could perhaps deal at once with the question of an arms embargo on which all members might be able to agree.

As time went oft, concluded Mr. Ferguson, there would perhaps have to be some method of adopting progressive sanctions from time to time, but surely there was somethingperhaps with regard to financial sanctions or an arms embargo- "that could be announced world tonight" in order that it might be known the league was taking some action. Making the now-famous oil sanctions "proposal" on Nov. 2, Dr. Riddell, Canada's permanent representative at Geneva, reminded the committee of 18 that in proposal No.

4 concerning an embargo on certain products to Italy, "they were entrusted with the task of making suitable proposals to their governments on this subject." List Not Complete He imagined, said Dr. Riddell, they all agreed that the list of key iron and steel were not on the list. asmuch As important a products like products was far from complete, inpetroleum and its derivatives, coal, The committee had been successful in obtaining acceptances in regard to the embargo so far as it went. Dr. Riddell went on.

He thought all states, members of the league, were to be congratulated on that score. Suggests Additions. He now ventured to propose, said Dr. Riddell, that the substances he had named should be added to the list--in principle- and that measures in regard to them should come into effect whenever the committee found that an embargo could be made effective. It was this proposal which led to the announcement by the Canadian government at Ottawa Dec.

1 that Riddell was acting on his own initiative and that Canada could not accept responsibility for launching the move apply oil sanctions. At the meeting of Nov. 2, Mr. Ferguson was not present, having already returned to London. Judging from the record in the official league minutes, Dr.

Riddell had been deeply concerned over the fact that sanctions so far proposed hit only countries exporting raw materials. The Canadian delegation, he told the committee of 18 on Oct. 19, always held the view that any scheme of economic sanctions should be the responsibilities were being placed on countries producing raw materials, which were being asked to follow these materials into member states well as into non-member states. So as he could see, Dr. Riddell declared, no serious obligation was being placed on states which not produce raw materials.

This omission could not be passed over in silence. problem of raw materials, he asserted, would affect relatively few members of the league, while the question of manufactured and semimanufactured products would affect a larger number. It was unfortunate, Dr. Riddell concluded. If it might be thought that shifting their responsibilities upon the few.

McLaine Given Honor Across Line Elected President of American Association of Economic Entomologists. At the annual meeting of the American Association of Econic Entomologists, held in St. Louis recently, in affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science, L. S. McLaine, chief of the division of foreign pests suppression, entomological branch.

Department of Agriculture, was elected president for 1936. Mr. McLaine has been associated with entomological and plant quarantine work in Canada since 1913. Largely a result of his endeavors, the plant inspection service of Canada is undoubtedly one of the most efficient of its kind in the Empire. Mr.

McLaine was born in Manchester, England, and after attending Merton House School, North Wales, attended the Boston University and the Massachusetts Agricultural College graduating with the degree of bachelor of science in 1910. Continuing in post -graduate work he attained his M.Sc. degree in entomology and paleantology in 1912. The following year he entered the entomological branch. Last November he was the unanimous choice for president of the Ontario Entomological Society.

Lamont, Senator Clark Mo.) contended the company withdrew its support of the pound to bring "leverage" on the administration. Sinking Ships Helped Clark read into the record a Morgan inter-company letter saying the sinking of the steamer Arabic by a German submarine on Aug. 19, 1915, with loss of two American lives, would create favorable sentiment for a proposed British loan in United States.

"How did sinking of the Arabic assist in the floating of an unsecured loan?" Clark demanded. "The loss of American lives, a most regrettable affair, increased sympathy for the Allies and made the background for an issue Morgan replied. Let Down the Bars As late as Sept. 6, 1915, 10 days after a brief note from Wilson to the then secretary of state, Bryan, let down the bars on loans to the belligerents, there apparently was confusion in some Wall Street quarters as to the government's policy. Robert Lansing, who succeeded Bryan, wrote Wilson urging a clarification.

Introduced at the hearing, his letter, dated Sept. 6, 1915, said in part: "Briefly, the situation as I understand it is this: Since Dec. 1, 1914, to June 30, 1915, our exports have exceeded our imports by nearly a billion dollars, and it is estimated that the excess will be from July to Dec, 31, 1915, a billion and threequarters. Thus for the year 1915 the excess will be approximately two and a half billions of dollars. "It is estimated that the European banks have about 3 1-2 billions of dollars in gold in their vaults.

To withdraw any considerable amount would disastrously affect the credit of the European nations, and the consequence would be a general state of bankruptcy. "If the European countries cannot find means to pay for excess of goods sold to them over those purchased from them, they will have to stop buying and our present export trade will shrink proportionately. "The result would be restriction of outputs, industrial depression, idle capital and idle labor, numerous failures, financial demoralization, and general unrest and suffering among the laboring classes. Contrary to Neutrality. "The difficulty is -and this is what Secretary McAdoo came to see me about--that the government early in the war announced that it considered 'war loans' to be contrazy to 'the true spirit of A declaration to this effect was given to the press about Aug.

15, 1924, by Secretary Bryan. "Manifestly, the government has committed itself to the policy of discouraging general loans to belligerent governments. "Now. the other hand, we are face to face with what appears to be a critical economic situation, which can only be relieved the appar-1 ently by investment of American capital in foreign loans to be used in liquidating the enormous balance of trade in favor of the United States."

It was learned on good authority that the Japanese are presenting new details of their parity proposwhich other delegations previously had demanded but had been unable to obtain. All the Occidental delegations want to know specifically how the proposed Japanese equality will work out in practice and whether Japan intends to actualy build a fleet equal to those of Great Britain and the United States.

It further was understood the United States delegation now is considering formal presentation of President Roosevelt's suggestion for 20 per cent, all around proportional reduction in all fleets.

His life had been despaired of since morning, though he had been critically ill only for a short time. The last illness was brought on by a severe cold, which developed rapidly into pneumonia. Insisted On Leading. Premier Lea was in no physical condition to withstand a serious illness.

Repeatedly he had been urged by his doctors last year to give up public life and retire to his prospering farm, but he insisted on leading the Liberal party through the July election of last year. He directed the campaign from the sickbed where he was convalescing from a long illness, and he rose only once to make a public speech. Apart from that occasion all his appeals were directed to the electorate through the press and over the radio. His election on July 23 saw his party make a clean sweep of every one of the 30 seats in Prince Edward Island's assembly and legislative council. It was the first time in Canada's history that one party had swept the board in a provincial election.

Second Premiership. For Mr. Lea the election marked his second accession to the premiership in a political career that opened with his return to the legislature from the fourth Prince district in 1915. Four years after that he became minister of agriculture and provincial treasurer. Defeated in the Liberal debacle of 1923, he came back in 1927 to become minister of agriculture again under Premier A.

C. Saunders. When Mr. Saunders went to the Supreme Court in 1930 Mr. Lea became premier and remained in office until the Conservatives ousted his party in 1931.

He led the opposition through the four years that preceded last year's election. On his return he assumed the portfolio of agriculture and the treasurership with the premiership. One of the most successful agriculturists on the island, Mr. Lea took pride in his designation as his province's first farmer premier. After the last election his health appeared to have improved somewhat, but the strain of office soon impaired it again.

After his last trip to Ottawa, to a attend the Do-provincial conference, he was confined for several days to his home on his return.

The Menai suspension bridge, linking the island of Anglesey and Carnarvonshire, closed when the center span thrown two was feet out of position. Authorities said the bridge was in no immediate danger, however. Heavy rains accompanying the gale increased flood danger in many parts of the country, just recovering from serious floods.

Lancaster suffered particularly severely. Appeal Over Radio. In Manchester the chief constable took the unprecedented step of broadcasting an appeal urging people to stay indoors until the gale abated. Two persons were killed by a falling tree at Rawenstall, Lancashire, and a girl was killed when a wall collapsed at Manchester. Five persons were injured when a wooden hoarding was blown down.

Various other injuries were reported from different points. Dublin and district were hit bye the storm with considerable damage caused. entire City Council and the public of Ottawa."

Several informal gatherings of the junior members have been held to date and it is likely general public meeting will be called next week to discuss the whole pro position.

The city took over the club property and equipment for non-payment of taxes. In addition to about $1800 in back taxes, the club owes an additional $600, the grand total of the indebtedness being upwards of $2,400. As the equipment taken over by the city is of little use to any organization other than a rowing club, the junior members feel that it may purchased from the city at a reasonable figure. Also the club property on the banks of the Ottawa river near Queen's wharf now on the market and the members feel that they can obtain lease from the city for a reasonable sum. If this can be accomplished, the Rowing Club may carry on.

One of the organizers of the junfor members, who did not wish his name mentioned at this stage of on ganization, told The Citizen today that if suitable arrangements could be made, the club would have to get! a number of young members enrolled. Even if the older member did not wish to carry on, the jun tors would, provided they could ob tain a sufficiently large member ship, he said. Dr. G. M.
