GERMANY j Wa.i Expected tu Ocnounce Both Locarno Pact and Treaty Of Versailles Today LONDON, Marcli 7: The eyes of Europe were rivetled with anxiety today upon Berlin where Keiclisfcnlircr Adolf Hitler had called a special session of the Reich to receive an "important declaration" from the Nazi government. While the statement is reported to have been ready for ; three, days, its contents had been guarded with secrecy. It had been reported, however, that both the ' Locarno Pact and the Treaty of , Versailles would be denounced on ! the ground that Germany no i longer considers Itself bound by ! cither treaty. ! There was also believed to be a posibility that Germany might announce its intention to re-arm I the Rhineland. In other quarters there was j speculation that the Franco-Russian alliance might be con demned and that support might be proffered Italy in combatting sanctions imposed by the League of Nations.

PLAN FOR SETTLING chamber of Commerce Again Endorses Voluntary Migration Project From Britain The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce, at Its regular monthly i meeting last night adopted a re - .1- mi-Uh,.. ...k. v H. F. Puiien, chairman, recom - mending endorsatlon of the Volun- tary Empire Migration movement. Brigadier General M. L. Hornby, act tne provinclal government :controls the land of the province It ,..,. -n,. ua niSDu, n. elated with such a move. The object of the plan is to apply to Canada a scheme of voluntary migration for settlement from the United Kingdom to the Dominions. At a conference In Newcastle, England, the British government was called upon to take action together with the Dominion governments to aid such a colonization scheme. The proposals of the conference were laid before the British government and received a sympathetic hearing. Under the plan a number of foundation community settlements would be established in Canada on areas of proven land close to or in the midst of existing settlements. The land for these settlements would be purchased by committees In Britain and settlers would be olaced on them as tenant farmers until such time as they had proved their adaptability and learned how to farm. Then they would be en couraged to acquire farms of their own and others would take their places In the foundation settle ments. The aim would be to secure culture. The essence of the Hornby plan ls that It provides the new Immi grant with a home and a farm on a tenancy basis with agricultural training under expert supervision and with financial backing until such tune as he has proved his fit- ness to farm on his own. Then and not till then It provides finances to u ui tiiiti iiiav. Alio uw ii airuiw Xilt scheme also provides that those who do not prove adapted to the work shall be returned to Britain at the expense of the committee that sent them to Canada.
