Dominion Statistics Prove Prairies Spending More Freely $352,000,000 Cashed In Cheques in March Increase in Figures Most Striking Evidence Returning Confidence By PAUL READING (Spicial Stiff Correspondent of ths Calgary Hsrsid and Southam Publishing Limited) MONTREAL. Aprii 29. If figures prove 'iny-thing, the prairie provinces are beginning to feel that the worst of the depression is over for them at any rate. They are spending money more freely and leading the whole of Canada in that respect. Tha evidence is contained In' a report today from ths Dominion Bureau of Statistics en the volume of "bank debits to individual accounts." To th.

layman it may look lik. highly technical stuff, but in reality it is a simple straight forward measure of how fast money ia turning over, just th. total of cheques drawn by Canadians against their.bank accounts. Sine, all but a amall fraction of our spending is done with bank chequea, these figures ar. significant Today's return covers the month of March.

IU shows that the Dominion aa a wliole has been feeling the stimulus orspring, though probably owing to backward weather not quite to the usual extent. The grand total of bank cheques cashed throughout the Dominion laU month was J2.024 .000,000, as compared with 81.990,000,000 In February. Allowing for the fall in prices Canadian business woulJ seem to be 'moving about 10 per cent more slowly than it was a year In th. prairie provinces, how-ever, th. pictur.

is conspicuously bright.r. with plenty of moistura in th. ground, and. a steadily improving world wheat outlook they ar. spending money en larger scale than laat year.

For Mam. toba, Saskatchawan-and Alberta ths ef cheques cashed in March, 1931. was $339,400,000. Last month it was $352,800,000. gain ef nearly 7 par cent ov.r last year.

The city of Winnipeg, which account! for more- than half the prairie total, showed a gain of 12 li per cent from March, 1931. Iii February; also, Wmipeg itself was 8 per cent above its. total nf twelve months previous, but the March figures showed" the ft: at sharp Jump for the prairies as- a whole; They offer the most btrik-Ing evidence of returning confidence. Elsewhere in Canada people used their cheque books with varying degrees of freedom last month. Everywhere except on the prairies, ths total volume of cheque's cashed was smaller than for last March, but Ontario was the only area whose oheque payments totalled less in.

March than in February of this year, Quebec, the marltfmes and Van-couver in particular felt the full effect, of the spring business expansion. In the maritimea the gain from February to March was about normal, in Vr-ncouver it was distinctly higher than normal. In the province of Quebec the expanaion for March wa. 10 per cent greater than usual. housemaids, and ladies' maids, gallant that ha won England prize heiress Seven Injured When Stage Fright Seizes Broadcasting Lion BOSTON, April 29.

NO DEFINITE AMOUNT WILL BE SET FORTH Bennett Gives Assurance Credit of Provinces to Be Sustained (By Canadian Prsss) OTTAWA, April 29. Provincial representatives attending the recent unemployment conference in Ottawa supported the Dominion policy of not setting out a definite amount of money in the pending relief bill, parliament was informed Thursday night. Statements to this effect were given tha house by Prime Minis, tor Bennett and Hon. W.

A. Gor-don, ministsr of labor, following a suggestion by Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King that a specific amount should bs named. "The provinces have had a very difficult experience, especially the newer provinces," Mr.

Bennett said, "with a scattered population and large areas, and they felt that it was undesirable to place in a measure of this kind a sum that might be available for the purposes indicated in the resolution." Resolution Submitted A measure would be drafted and Introduced In the commons shortly, Mr. Bennett said. In the meantime, a resolution has been submitted authorizing the Dominion to enter into agreementa for relief with the provinces, and pay whatever sums It may be necessary for the Dominion to expend. Power is also contained in the resolution to make advances to the provinces. Authority to pay sums for special requirements in the National in the drouth-stricken areas of Saskatchewan, for assistance in defraying the coat of the ssla and distribution of products of the field, farm, sea, river and mine are also set out.

Further power ef a similar nature is included. The Dominion wll continue to as sist in direct renet. ine provinces had Indicated they could not con- flnue for financial reasons on the construction programme to provide relief works. But. ttie House was told, works row under way whicb could not be abandoned without loss would be continued to completion.

No Dominion public works will be constructed this year except those authorized in the estimates passed by parliament. Indirect Relief To date. Mr. Gordon declared, $150,000,000 bad been apent on public works by way of indirect relief since the fall of 1930. Of this amount, the Dominion had contributed $48,000,000, and the province and the municipalities slightly over $100,000,000.

Bv way of "direct" relief, the Do minion in the same period had spent $12000,000, exclusive of advances made to the Saskatchewan relief commission. Total loans and advances made to tha provinces since the fall of 1930, amounted to 043 418.499.87. The provinces of Western Can. ada believed, said the prime min. (star, that they would be in a poai-tion to meet their ordinsry expenditure this year.

They hoped to do this by the Imposition of taxes and the cutting of axpandi-tura. But, whatever developed, the credit of the Dominion must be Sustained by sustaining the credit of tha provinces. In respect to the provision for requirements in national parks, the prime minister stated that some of the western provinces were of the opinion that work might be done in these parks which would provide employment for many single men. For Instance, a tourist road was now being built between Jasper and Banff. This road would doubtless be of value from the point of attraction to tourist traffic.

It was most si ruble to develop tourist traffic. It was also desirable to provide employment for single men. Consequently the government wished to be in a position to undertake such work it advisable. MONTREAL-CUBA TEST HOP MADE IN NINE HOURS HAVANA. Cuba.

The New York Times today publishes tha following cable from London: six years of litigation In volving costs of 1195,000 the House of Lords judiciary committee has finally settled the so-called Water-low case in favor of the Bank of Portugal. The court awarded the bank 610,392 and costs against the old- established London printing house of Waterlow and Sons, regular bank note printers for the Bank of Portugal.

Frauds on which the action was based were committed in 1924 by a Dutchman named Marang, who deceived Waterlow's Into printing 580.000 bank notes which the Portuguese bank had not authorized. Fraud Victims "No suggestion has been mads or can be made against the honesty of Messrs. Waterlow." se id Lord Sankey, lord high chancellor. In delivering judgment. "They.

Just as much as the banks were victims -of the Marang fraud." Apart from the huge sums Involved, the case Is of unusual interest as Illustrating the stern impartiality of British justice. The Waterlow company is probably the best known printing house in England, and Ita chairman, when the frauds were committed, was Sir William Waterlow. later Lord Mavor of London. Yet all three British courts which have handled the case have pronounced in- favor of the Portuguese bank. Rain Falls Over West WINNIPEG, April 29.

A. Gordon, minister of labor and immigration on Thursday elaborated the new Scheme whereby the government hopes to placs of persons now receiving direct relief back on the lana. The proposal of the Dora.nim, said Mr. Gordon, was to establish fund on the basis of what pre sumably would be required to furnish direct relief to those jieople who went on the land. These amounts would be capitalized up to certain period In the future.

The fund would be administered by the provinces, and it would be stipulat ed that tha Crown lands be utilized for providing farms. Otherwise there waa 'danger of land speculators attempting to reap a profit out of the Knowledge of Farmirfg The scheme, said Dr. Gordon, was designed particularly to benefit those persons, now on direct react, who knew something about farming and, after a disastrous experience in the city, were anxious to go back to the land. It was not a government-aided land settlement scheme. It was an unemployment relief scheme.

The whole amount available for each person or family would not be handed out when the party went on the land. It would re paid in instalments, and the amount paid would he rnntineent on the time a person remained on the land. Different suggestions had been made as to what amount might be set aside for each person, They ranged from $400 to $600. Maj. Ewart Smith Ends Own Life WILMINGTON.
