OnU" June 28 (CP) changes are made In the United States tariff which are found to be detrimental to the Interest of Canada, alterations tn the Canadian tariff structure to correct tbe situation will unquestionably be made.

This was tbe declaration of Bon. James Malcolm, minister of trade and commerce, tn an address whlcb he made here. Canada, he said, bad made, and would make, her own tariff structure to suit her own economic needs. Mr. Malcolm's speech was designed to meet and answer certain statements and criticisms directed again the gov ernment's tariff policy by Hon.

R. B. Bennett, Conservative leader. In the course of his Western Ontario tour. WILL MEET SITUATION.

At the outset, he stated that Mr. Bennett was trying "to create fear In the minds of the people of Ontario that tbe government whlcb had so successfully administered the affairs of Canada for the last eight years will not be able to meet a new situation whlcb he fears has arisen." "No situation has arisen during the past eight years that has not been satisfactorily met," proceeded Mr. Malcolm. "Nor do I believe the people of Canada fear that should a change be made in tbe American fiscal policy detrimental to Canadian Interests, the government Is not prepared to meet It. "The Government of Canada Is much more alive to tbe situation than Is the leader of the opposition, and la fully prepared In the Interests of Canada to readjust Its fiscal policy from time to time to meet any changes that may place In the tariff structure of the United States or of any country." BRITISH TRADE.

Referring to the demand of Mr. Bennett for an Inter-Empire trade conference, Mr. Malcolm stated that ever since Mr. Fielding introduced tbe British preference It had been tbe Liberal policy to Increase trade within the Empire. How tbls bad worked out was Indicated by figures covering the past eight years.

"Our Imports from British countries have Increased from approxlmataely tl50.000.000 to $257,000,000, and our exports from 1347,000,000 to I639.OO0.0O0, giving us an Increase of trade within the Empire during that period of almost (300,000,000," the speaker said.

Under him he work of the area and Its develop ment will proceed without Interruption. IWhat will be done ultimately with the land will depend largely on IMr. Dajkin's final report. While bis interim report, filed yesterday, found that there had been grave Irregularities In the administration of the area through the use of government funds to develop private areas, another Important side of the whole question has yet to ne investigated. This Is the cost lot developing the subdivision land and the returns secured from them or likely to be obtained In future.

BARELT PAVING FOR ITSELF. In starting the enquiry the govern- I merit believed that the area was barely I paying Its way and that If It proved lpo more profitable In the future It I might never contribute to the uokecD I of the university as originally planned. iwoit Mr. us vain nnas on this point is Iivaiwu wiwi eagerness oy the cabinet. If, as the government expects, the scheme is not profitable, some entirely new policy In handling It In the future may be necessary and further development may be halted for the pres- I cnt at Until these facts are dls- covered the business of the subdivision will be carried on as usual under Mr.

Daykin. Beyond the dismissal of Ma tor Mc pherson and the appointment of Mr. Daykin as officer in charge of the sub division the government contemplates no Immediate steps. As Mr. Daykln's Investigation is not nearly finished yet all the affairs of the subdivision In a sense are sub judlce and ministers de cline to comment on them or on prob able action later to straighten them Out.

HOPES TO GET RESTITtTION. It was learned, however that" the government has good hopes of securing restitution or mucn or the money which Mr. Daykin finds was misspent on private ianas. it is planned to re cover every cent possible. Crowded conditions that prevailed on all Vancouver city beaches last Sunday proved beyond a doubt that there is need for more beach space here.

In an interview following the publication of charges that government funds had been used for the development of the golf course, a purely private venture, Mr.

Boyd denied that any government money had been paid to his company for work done. Mr. Boyd undertook to give his explanation of the charges. In the absence from Vancouver of Major Frank M. Ballard, a resident of tbe University section, who Is the prime mover in the development of the golf bourse on lands leased from the university for a period of twenty years.

While a skeleton company Is In existence to take over the project, at present Major Ballard and Mr. Boyd are the- two men who have advanced money to finance construc tion. It Is expected to open the first nine holes of the course this autumn. CLAIMS INDERSTANDING. "Major Ballard carried on" the negotiations for the lease iof the property with the former government and the present i administration and It was clearly understood that the two rectangles of land on either side of the University boulevard Just west of the area gates, would be banded over clear of stumps," said Mr.

Boyd. "There was no provision for this In the lease, so far as I know, but It was certainly a clear understanding. This Is tbe only work which has been done on the property by government men since we leased It; They cleared the land of tbe original timber and we finished the Job." Mr. Boyd explains that the lease constitutes 120 acres, consisting of two rectangles on either side ot the boulevard, the northern portion being slightly larger. At the western end of both parcels of land some original timber remained.

The rest of the land was cleared some years ago by unemployment relief work. SECRECY IS. DENIED, "There was no secrecy about it," declared Mr. Boyd, "the government men worked on that part of the land, did the heavy clearing and we followed up with the finishing work. believe this expenditure was kept in a neparate account and there could have been little difficulty 'tn 'finding out wbat had been "My company did not do any work for which the government paid.

"The scheme was suggested to me by Major Ballard. I thought It was a good Idea and It provided winter work for our equipment. I believe that It will be a great Improvement to that section and It will remove an eyesore from land that will not be needed by the University for twelve or fifteen years. If the land bad been left, a second clearing of major proportions would have been necessary within a few years." Stage- rivet for 13 Years Tak es Busman's Holiday HCiyLIAM.

(AP) Biasing way through a gusty wind for the big field, two sturdy Italian professionals, Gene Sarazen of New York and Al Espinosa of Chicago, went into an early tie for the lead today with 142, two under par, for the 36 hole or halfway mark of the national open golf championship. SARAZEVS BRILLIANT ROOD.

Sarazen duplicated his brilliant 71 of yesterday, chiefly because he needed only 11 putts on the last nine holes, while close behind him Espinosa came home with a par 72 to add to his fine 70 on the first round. Three putts and a bad five on the short 13th cost Espinosa a golden chance to take the lead. These two performances left the issue over the leadership up to Bobby Jones, whose sensational 60 led the opening day's battle.
