Menders, M.P. for MncDonnld arid ox-prcsidont of the Manitoba Grain Growers has issued a public statement with refer enco to his difficulties with that us socintlon. Up therein charges that ho has been treated unfairly by the executive in not being given an opportunity to defend his position before the farmers' convention and a«sertp that his course in parliament, which caused the whole trouble, was dictated by a sense of duty. He claims that the farmers would have obtained fair treatment from the Kovernmcnt if the western members had co-operated with the ministers in their plans. He says: "I reflect the spirit of the age when I say it is calling aloud for co-operation, that it does not ' believe that great issues can be set tied by. class fighting,, that, it does believe In tho spirit of. brotherhood, in reasoning together and in reaching conclusions that are frankly sought for the good of all.* He adds that he believes that his action in parliament has been an honest expression of the principles and teaching of tho grain growers movement since its, inception. Referring to his action at Ottawa, Mr. Bonders says he did not sit still when the government decided not to touch the tariff during 15)19, he did all in his power to dissuade that conclusion with all the ministers and Ills fellow members from tho west and at the caucus opposed strongly the government decision to delap tho tariff issue. When the western members' caucus sent a deputation to the government on tho point, he was there to present the case of tho farmers and assorted that tho government reconsidered their decision and offered concessions favorable to the views of the western members. He adds: "Tho one thing I cannot • understand is the reasoning by which the thon minister of agriculture agreed to tho government action which was to give nothing, and then refused to support tho government after they had made concessions to the farmers which amounted to a reduction of tho tariff to tho extent of about $17,000,000. It must further be stated that, when these changes wore announced by Kir Thomas White ho gave on behalf of the.government definite assurance that a commission of the government would be appointed which would hold meetings in tho several provinces, * It was promised that the findings of this commission would influence th egovernment in further shaping its fiscal policy." It is on this phase that Mr. Hcn- ders thinks the whole of tho western members should have co-operated ■with tho government and to havo given open support. He says the time to. havo pronounced on the government policy would have been . on' the conclusions reached by the commission promised. "I acted on that conviction ami I believe In so doing I not only acted in accordance ■with my own conscience but in accord with the best interests of tho farmers of western Canada/' MAUD POWELL NOTED AMERICAN VIOLINIST DIES UNIONTOWN, Pa., Jan. 8— Maud Powell, American violinist of International reputation, died here today following. ; a seizure last night while playing in a local theatre. ■ Mi=3 Powel was 52-years of ago and is cqual'y well known in Europe, Canada and the United States. She ranked with the worlds greatest violinists. [iffiitjp Government Asked for Improvements Shelved During War OTTAWA, Jan. 8.—The executive of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress and other Canadian labor officials had a three-hour conference with members of the cabinet this afternoon, during which they pre'sented their memorandum asking that legislation be enacted along the lines which hbor in Canada is seeking. Tlie labor men were given a sympathetic hearing and the various questions brought up were freely discussed by both sides. At the close of the conference Tom Moore, president of tho Trades and Labor Council, said their suggestions had given him a friendly reception and they had been promised that careful consideration would be given to the demands of the labor men. However, he said, labor would wait and see what legislation was forthcoming along the lines tho deputation had suggested as a result of the discussion. Labor's ideas had been fairly placed before the government as a basis for future action. The labor men pointed out that now that peace was finally signed labor would look forward to the carrying out of many 'improvements which had been deferred until the end of the war period. Members of the cabinet seen after the conference stated that there had been a frank round-table discussion of all the questions presented to thom by the labor men and that the whole matter would be given every consideration. The labor deputation, which was receved by Sir George" Foser, act lug premier, and the,other members of the cabinet included Tom Moore, P. M. Draper, Hi J. Halford and A McAndrew of the Trades and Labor Congress executive. HERS no irani TD11 FOR III SMS Hon.

A, rov- onue estimated nt about 500.000 francs, will bo lost, to the regret of .'some of the councillors, who want to |know "why whnt is allowed on walls becomes intqlek-nble and ugly when placed on a moving monsler, which is i'so ugly in Itself that nothing can' deduce It." BUANDON.'jan. S.—(C. I'.)—The most urgent of the problems facing tho farmers independent political party in Canada are in the federal field, so Hon T. A. Crerar tonight told tho convention of the United farmers of Manitoba. The former cabinet minister talked for more than an hour late in the evening and outlined federal problems, tariff, naval and military expenditures and Imperial relations. "The only way to escape the vast financial burdens which rest on us is by the practice of drastic taxations and rigid economy," said Mr. Crerar. He urged the importance of tho supremacy of parliament', of cabinet and advised the federal government to remove al restrictions on personal liberties and restore all the liberties enjoyed before the war. Mr. Crerar said that he had little .doubt that there would bo a good representation of farers in the next parliament and he would like to see lb to 20, inuor men mere too, the farmers would meet heavy opposition since special privileges died hard. Mr. Crerar expressed his belief in the principle of direct taxation and announced the existing tariff system. After his speech and answering a question, Mr. Crerar declared it was ■his personal opinion that federal and provincial matters should be kept entirely separate. "If the farmers permit their objective to be altered of sending to Ottawa, a solid representation of. supporters ' of the farmers platform, I think they. will be making a great mistake. If you as famcrs give the impression that you want to run everything will you Ifeep the support of all classes as you have il now " he asked. "I say the thing to do is to concentrate on the federal field. The first and greatest thins for the farmers of western Canada is to get a solid representation at Ottawa." "I am," he-continued," unalterably opposed to the building up of any spirit of ilitarism in Canada, (Cheers) There are some in Canada who would tie this country up to' a military system. I am not prepared to say what our naval system should be but I am unalterably opposed to any naval scheme which involves an initial expenditure of fifty or sixty million dollars and then millions annually for maintenance," he thought after thorough discussion the sober sense of the Canadian people would be against an extensive military and naval organization. "This country should not be committed,.' continued Mr. Crerar, "to any form of imperial paliument or cabinet or council without the fullest and freest discussion by the Canadian people." "In tho near future we will soe the farers of the west, of Ontario and of Quebec 'and the maritime provinces united to make Canada for Canadians, said J. A. Caron of Quebec a director of the United Farmers of that province, adrcssing the United Farmers of Manitoba this afternoon. Mr, Caron said he brought word that the farmers political movement was mating progress In Quebec. "Especially our young men," he said," are looking to the west and its farmer move, nient.

Next Session Will Sit in Building Which Has Been Beconstnictecl OTTAWA, Jan: S. — Sir George Foster, acting prime minister, at four o'clock this afternoon made the definite announcemejnt through the Canadian Press, Limited, that parliament will meet for the transaction of business on Thursday, Feb. 26. In the reconstructed building partially destroyed by fire. He stated that in all probability the address in reply to the speech from the throne, to dispose of ■which is tho first business of parliament, will probably be moved by Hume Cro- nyn, M.P. for London, and seconded by Alexander McGregor, member for Pictou, The acting prime minister also stated that writs will shortly be issued making provision for the filling of the only two seats in the commons now vacant, Kamouraska and Temiskamlng. Kamouraska is without a representative because of the resignation of Ernest Lapointe, who successfully contested Quebec east in the Liberal interests at tho- recent elections. Temiskaming was loft without a member by the death of Hon. Frank Cochrane in September last. The choice of Feb. 26 as the date on which parliament will convene does not cause any surpise at Ottawa- as it is understood that for some time that the house would meet during the third week in; February and the choice' almost' invariably falls' on a Thursday. This allows for the preliminaries to 'he disposed of on Thursday and Friday and clears, the deck for the opening of the formal debate on the address on the fol lowing Monday. It is regarded , as likely that this debate will occupy several days. It will' afford Hon. W. L. MacKenzie King his first op portunlty as Liberal leader in the commons to deal with political que* tions in a general way. "When Mr King entered the commons towards the end of the special autumn ses sio he did not replace D. D. Mc- Kenzie us Liberal leader of the house, but in the absence of Hon, Rodolphe Lemieux, occupied that member's seat until the end of the session. The general expectation is that the house will he in session for from three to four months and that Sir Robert Borden will not return' to Ottawa until after prorogation. The Evening Citizen today states that there is a growing impression that Sir Robert will not return to political life because \ of the danger that such a step would result in complete physical breakdown. Tho impression is growing that if Admiral Jellicoe's naval mission proceeds to South Africa Sir Robert will accompany the admiral on his flagship. There is considerable doubt as to tho amount of legislation that will bo called* for in the speech from the throne. Provision is almost certain to be made for a new federal election act, but there is less certainty as. to a naval bill. General estimates will probably be large because' of the steadily increasing cost of administration, but the vote for "war" purposes will be comparatively, small. It is not improbable there will be legislation dealing with shipbuilding and labor.' Tariff ..changes are likely to be few because of the government's decision that tlie time is not opportune' for a general revision of tho tariff and the request made by "the government to people interested to send in their views to the minister of finance in writing. A unionist caucus will be held shortly after tho opening of i the session to consider the government policy during the session, and to select a house leader to assist Sir George Foster. The choice, it is said, will fall upon Hon. C. J. Doherty, minister of justice, PEACE TREATY 1ST CANADIAN MONEY NOT ACCEPTED BY U. S.
