Sixty-nine other persons wcro saved, States Congress and Says Impossible if Both Macdonald Declares Amid Cheers That Jealousy and Fear Have Disappeared ; Peace Pact Was Going To Be British Guiding Ideal WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. -Prime Minister Ram-say Macdonald of Great Britain interrupted his conference with President Hoover yesterday to tell the United States congress that there could be no war between the two great English-speaking nations if each did its duty in making effective the Kellogg-Briand treaty renouncing war. "There can be no war any more. It is absolutely impossible if you and we do our duty in making the peace pact effective. Any section of our arms, whether land, sea or air, can never come into hostile conflict the British Labor leader declared. The senate chamber was crowded with legislators, diplomats, citizens, spectators, and all eagerly cm-braced his words. Asserting, amid applause, that the problems of jcahusy and of fear had disappeared, the prime minister declared that the American and British governments had met together and have said: "What is all this bother about parity, parity?: Take it without reserve, heaped up and flowing' over. That is one of the results. This visit is another. The result of the ""VisiWs thatSvcr'havc-to understand each other,'' he exclaimed. "Did the nations who signed the Kellogg pact intend it tn be merely an expression on paper?" asked Mr . Macdonald . "Or did they mean it to be a guiding ideal in policy? We mean it to be the guiding ideal in policv," he declared . He demanded that the spirit of war be exterminated, the spirit which regarded conferences between two great nations with suspicion and distrust was the war spirit . It was the wrong spirit . The British prime minister was the guest last night at a state dinner given by President and Mrs . Hoover. Included among the eighty-one guests were the diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, Canada and the Irish Free State. Log Production Likely To Increase On Queen Charlotte Islands in 1930 If Plans of Operators Carried Out There has been a good deal of logging carried on at Queen Charlotte Is amis this year, but next year there will be a great deal moro if the plans of the oporators are carried out. In fact, next year promises to be almost a record in spruce log production, the demand for that class of lumber having increased to such an extent that it pays well to produce . During the season the Kelly Logging Company has taken out ten mirion feet of logs at their camp near Thurs ton Harbor, employing four donisey- engines and 05 men. ui wis, oeycu million feet has been shipped to the Big Day lumber mill at Prince Rupert. Next year the Kelly company expects to quadruple its output. The camps expect to operate all winter, cold decking the" logs and hauling them out in the spring. This is done because rafting logs to the mainland is risky In winter, many rafts having been lost in the past. The camp of J. R. Morgan Co. on Skldegatfc Inlet employs-two donkey engines and thirty men near Queen Charlotte ctty.WebUl of mo . Blllmor Company near Prince Rupert, bum msi wmw, una u yet Cdrnmenced operating, but it is expected that It will operate soon, and probably the output of logs will then be increased. The first logging on the west t coast of the Islands has been done Tnsno Harbor, west of Moresby Island. In addition to tho 'logs logs taken out by the Allison Log- lnK company there. log3 have been DUrchased purchased from numerous hand Ueaeta In the neighborhood Vh- FWmsn camn at Mussett , Inlet has ten men employed. There arc a number of other con- cerns considering the matter of opening up on the Islands, one near Sandsplt. and there are mill protects under advisement. All these things point to the probability of great activity in connection with log and lumber production in the north. SEARCHING .. F0RPLANE r Reports of Flares , Mar Cane.
