J. H. Woods of Calgary, pn idont of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, did not thiol; that Canada's system of preference could continue li iitr unless there was reciprocity on the part of the Mother i wintry. The extension of preferences, Mr. Wood said, nu obviously include their extension by the United King-don; for "unless the United Kingdom does this, what is the ; of our talking among ourselves of preferences when Gc at Britain has nothing in its basket to give " T K Congress voted on a resolution favoring the extendi oi Imperial preferences and passed it with but seven di. nting votes. The seven were delegates from the free tra 'h areas of Lancashire and Yorkshire. An important development foreshadowed during pri-v;ir discussions of British and Canadian delegates to the oiKToss was action by British motor manufacturers to imade the Canadian market. The manufacturers announced that theywere preparing to erect' manufacturing airl assembling plants in Canada and to make a concentred attack upon the Canadian market by advertising and publicity.

Novel Means Adopted By Labor Government To Allay Unemployed Half Million Children Will Attend School For Year Longer and 100,000 Will Be Needed to Replace Them On Labor Market 1 LONDON, May 30: Half a million children of Great Britain will be given an extra year's education under a new education bill of the government which provides for the raising of the school age from 14 to 15 years. The bill was given its second reading in the House of Commons yesterday. President of the Board of Education Trevelyn said that the extra year would keep the children out of the labor market that much longer and thus leave room for from 100,000 to 150,000 people to replace them. That would mean that perhaps 100,000 people would be taken off the ! dole and 8,000 additional school teachers would be re-i quired. The state will provide 70 per cent of the whole cost of raising the school age. REAL ESTATE MAN CHOSEN George Heggie of Vernon Nominated to Succeed W. F.
