The South African flag will be used as a domestic flag and the portion of the flag assigned to the Union Jack has been increased from one-sixtieth to one-twenty-seventh of! the whole. Describing the new flag, General Hertzog said It gave expression to the position of South Africa as an independent dominion. Concluding with details as to the flying of the Union Jack, the premier emphasiied that the government's aim henceforth would be to unite all the people of South Africa, which would be the crowning work of what was accomplished at the last Imperial Conference. General Smuts, leader of the opposition, congratulated the premier on his statesmanlike speech. Hon. N. A. McLean, minister of the interior, who was recently credited with being the stumbling-block to compromise, seconded the reading of the bill and suggested that the next Union Day should be the anniversary of the day when the two races in South Africa joined hands.

He did not wish to appear weeklng any favors. As a matter of fact. It was something of more Importance to the welfare of the port of Prince Rupert than it was to the Wheat Pool. Personally, he would like to see the VANCOUVER, October 27. "The Premier's conference I con-pool continue to use the port of Prince aider to be one of the most vital events in Canada's history since ! Rupert but it was simply a business confederation. In fact I look upon it as an opportunity for re-con-; proposition in which his or anybodys else's Fcnttment would not govern. The one Important thing the people of I Prince Rupert could do was to create) a favorable tmDress'on on behalf of the elevators and its terminal facilities at the coast. VAST OKOANTATION To show the vast extent of the pool' business, Mr. Wood stated that, during the past season, the central pool had sold over two hundred million bushels of wheat which was approximately fifty-four per cent of the entire dell verles of Western Canada wheat. The sales amounted to some $280,000,000 odd which approximated close to dally rales of one million dollars on the basis of S00 selling days In the year. Some 140.000 western farmers, Mr. Wood went on. had bound themselves together to sell their own wheat for a period of five years and thus the pool waa formed. The present term of five years expired wtth the completion of the selling of the 192 crop. The fann ers were already signing another five year contract to take effect beginning with the selling of the 1923 crop. "There is every Indication that the poo! will be stronger than ever next year." declared Mr. Wood. Up to last year the Alberta Pool had forty-two country elevators but, during the past twelve months, the number had increased to 156. The Saskatchewan pool had 700 elevators , In .that, province arm the Manitoba pool,, some forty or fifty. The terminal elevator holdings of the pool Included the lease of the Prince Rupert elevator: No. 2 elevator at Vancouver, where the pool waa building a new one of its own, and Interest in terminal elevators at Fort William. The Owen brothers, who are engaged in logging at Klldala Inlet, have arrived from down the coast with a gasboat which la undergoing overhaul and repairs at the local dry duck.
