In addressing the League, the nations could use their own language, as Chancellor Stresseman of Oermany had persistently done, but translations had to be made at the expense of the countries concerned. The last session of the council had been presided over by a Persian and the assembly by a j Col. Hiam attached much impor-repreeentative of San Salvador. tance to the work being carried out They had spoken-either In English I by the technical organization of the or French. league. Persia had been prevailed Geneva was a very international j upon to discontinue cultivating the city. There were about 100 news-1 opium poppy as a result of the work paper correspondents permanently i of league experts who had shown stationed there with hundreds more when the assembly was In session. Geneva had been chosen as the headquarters for the league by President Wilson, toe desire being to have the headquarters in some country that had not participated in the world war in order that all nations might have confidence in the spirit of the deliberations. Some member nations of the league, including Canada, main- tained offices at Geneva which cor- responded to consulates. These of-1 flees were, of course, Independent of the league organisation, having been established to follow and advise in the work of the league. In order to solve political difficulties, there had been set up technical organisations at Geneva in connection with the league. Departments included one economic and financial, a social section, a health section and a transport organisation, the latter of which the speaker had been a member. Referring to several International political differences that had been settled by the league, Col. Hiam mentioned the dispute between Italy and Oreeoe by means of which war had been threatened ' The league demanded an immediate I settlement. Italy insisted that the arbitration should be by the Council of Ambassadors In Parts, while Greece was satisfied that the league should settle it. A settlement bad been devised by the league which the Council of Ambassadors endorsed and transmitted to Italy. The dispute was speedily settled. Greece and Bulgaria men there was the flare-up In the Balkans between Bulgaria and Qreece over shooting of sentries on the border. A finding had been made against Bulaarla. Sentries were ordered moved back from the I frontier and Swedish soldi been put into patrol the border for I three years, With the assistance of Premier Brland of France, the league had also been: Instrumental in settling a dispute "between Paraguay and Bolivia, m these negstaUpniifthe Pacific Ocean was spanne$jrfjie first time by wireless telephone when Premier Briand spoke to the French diplomatic representative at Buenos Aires. In a single day $28,000 had been expended In telegrams. The league was stronger by far today than It had ever been, stronger than Its best friends a few years ago could possibly have hoped. There were league offices In Rome, Tok?WSh1i$oi( Berlin and Paris, and other offices would be opened. Saturday, January 11, 1930 not have to worry about finances. By means of the league the old order of diplomacy had been entirely changed. Col. Hiam told of having had as his dinner guests one night a German admiral and a British admiral. Rather than play bridge, they had chosen to tell how they had chased each other during the war. Through such contacts war was made the more unlikely how other crops could be grown there. The health organisation was doing valuable work Is disseminating information with regard to dread diseases. Exchange of health officers between various parts of the world had been arranged for. The organization of transport had fostered a new variety of European telegram whereby peace message had precedence over all other kinds of wires. Formerly war telegrams were given precedence, If war were threatened the league could turn the spotlight on the na Uons concerned and take such speedy and effective action, having also so extensive Information, that one nation could hardly stand out and insist' that It was right. The nations would be almost afraid to go to war. Col Hiam felt that the people of j Canada did not take enough pride in the work of Canada in connection with the league. As Canada had rallied for war, so It had entered upon the machinery of peace. The influence of the. Dominion was out of ail proportion to its size and population. Many other countries even waited to what Canada WM 40 they voted Nl" UanaOa Ued to Great Brl tain in the work of the leagae. The great confidence that other nations held in Canada, Col. Hiam attrib uted to the type of men the Dominion had sent to the league. Canada had also been always ready to put up when it came to contributing to the work of the league. Canada realized that it had much to lose In case of war, and therefore, the Dominion did much to prevent war. Canada was doing great work at Geneva. Canada's Work There was no nation that -was more ePsted and Canadians should be proud of the work their Bowmen were doing in lnterna- tional council At the close of his address Col. Hiam was tendered a vote of thanks for the masterly way In which be had handled such a great subject. The vote of thanks was inoved by Miss S. A. Mills. ' Mrs. C. JS. Cullln presided at the piano when "O Canada" was sung at the opening of the dinner and "God Save the King" at the close.

HIAM IS HEARD Expresses Opinion to Board of Trade ThaUfoJSinllf Railway; Vlll' OjSlleeiUvitUht HOTEL niSCUSSF.D ! Railway Official Recognizes Neces. I slty of Providing Accomoda lion Here One of the most significant state ments made by Colonel T. A. Hiam, assistant to the C.N.R. president. yesterday, was that he did not think any one railway would be given the sole right to construct the western -outlet of Peace River. He said he was here in Prince Rup ert gathering data with a view to placing the whole situation before Sir Henry Thornton end the other authorities in the East and that report would have considerable weight in deciding the outcome. Colonel Hiam was speaking at a little Informal dinner given him by the council of the Board of Trade at which about twenty persons were present. There were several speakers, including Mayor McMordie. J. C. Brady, M.P.. Alderman Collart and G. W. Nlckerson. O. P. Tinker, president of the Board of Trade, presided. Other guests present included Oeorge MeNlcholl, general passenger agetU. and J. M. McRae, general freight agent. Mr. Tinker Introduced the distinguished guest, after which the mayor officially welcomed him on behalf of the city and expressed the hepe that he would come often. J. C. Brady told a good story illustrating the fact that Prince Rupert was about to have removed the obstacles which had prevented her progress and expressed pleasure at the visit of the colonel. Alderman Collart laid before the visitors the case for the Peace River outlet coming to Prince Rupert. He explained how, by carrying grain through Prince " Rupert, it would reach the coast by a route 650 miles shorter1 than any other. He spoke of the apparent neglect by the C.N.R. of this port while centre ing on Vancouver, but stated that, now they were well established in Vancouver, it was expected they would turn their attention to this pert., It was the only way they could make the line pay. He refer red to the present grain situation and urged that Prince Rupert was the logical outlet for the grain from the Peace. G. W. Nlckerson expressed appreciation of the long stop-over of the executive officer. He said It was essential to transportation that hotels should be built and Prince Rupert had many advantages for it in this respect. A hotel was Just as essential here as at any other point. Prince Rupert held many attractions such as deep sea fishing, In land fishing and the rugged scenery. Sir Henry Thornton had promised that, if he could secure the appro priatlen, he would build the hotel, and the people here confidently ex pected It would be commenced this year. Came West Again Col. Hiam drew attention to the fact that he was no stranger here. He had been away from Northern B. C, fortem yekrs and, pn a recent vis)t to Bir:Hcnry Tnornionjne naa been asked if ho would like to come back to Canada- Sir Henry had offered him his present position and he had accepted it and since that time had been organizing the office at Vancouver. In regard to the Peace outlet, the colonel said the matter rested largely with the government. He doubted if the exclusive right to build would be given to either company. While he did hot know where the outlet would be, he said he thought the chances of Prince Rupert were as good as any. He would see that all the advantages of the port were placed before the proper authorities and he wished to be kept well informed in regard to the situation. The visitor said he was convinced, even before coming here, that a hotel was necessary. As soon as ho reached the East he would find out what the situation in this regard was and how soon the hotel was likely to be built. He suggested that the Board of Trade keep him Informed all the -time of -the special needs of the port so that he might have them tinder consideration. J. M. McRae then spoke briefly in regard to freight rates, after which President Tinker thanked the visitors for being present and taking such a keen Interest In Prince Rupert. 1 When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that ''the, dunces are all In confederacy against him, Swift.
