In B.C. Is Charged WOULD BE BIG THING Sir Henry Croft Pictures What Large Scale British Settlement Would Mean To this District PRINCE GEORGE, August 18 (Canadian Press) --"Imagine what the settlement of 10,000 British settlers in Central British Columbia would mean to your shipping your' dock workers, your stores!'' commented Sir Henry Page Croft in. speaking here, at a dinnci .teudcred him and his party Investigating British settlement possibilities in Canada by the Prince George BArd of Trade acting as hosts for the provincial government. Such settlers would need machinery for land clearing and roadmaking, for furniture, clothing, food, ail the hundred and one articles necessary for civilized lire.

(CP) Italy possessing a germanlc minority in days when possession of such Is regarded as a peril to any of Germany's neighbors, is redoubling her fforts to Italianize the South Tyrol. Chancellor Hitler's assurance that Germany will respect Italy's AlpitH frontiers for all eternity has dispelled fears of a German attempt 'o annex the region for the present but Italy Is taking no chances on he future. Figures published by Impartial sources abroad place the Germanic copulation of the South Tyrol at 215,000. Italians say there are but 180,000 and that 80,000 of these are really of Latin orlln, leaving a baie 100,000 Teutons. And Premier Mussolini has sa'd that these are not a minority but merely "the residue of barbarian 'nvaslons." He made this statement before the development of the present close friendship with Germany. Since the welding ofths Rome-Berlin axis, officials have dropped reference to the "barbarians of the north." More important than such de nlals, however, is the energetic race. The Italian policy there today vhlle firm, appears much more ncnevolcnt than In the early 'days of Fascism.
