| FRANCE sniE’sErniaaEcE QUESTION . 0F WAR arms Alli) REPARATIONS Paris, July 2.â€"The settlement of the inter-allied debts must be made: the object of a special arrangement; between all the powers concerned. While France has no desire to re- pudiate her own obligations the pres-l out is no time for her to fulfill them." In any case they cannot be separated l I 'from the problem of German repara- tions. Those are the main points that the French Government emphasized; in the instructions to Jean Parmen-l tier, who left yesterday for New York‘ at the head of a mission to discuss the; matter with the United States War"~ Debt Commission. Up to a certain point France is shaping her attitude: 120 that of Bnitain, and Parmentier’s instructions have been communicated- to London. France sees with obvious! regret'that the United States is not“ ready to accept her View that the can- cellation of inter-allied debts must; eventually come. Meanwhile, M. Par-v mentier hopes to demonstrate to the. United States Commission how hope- less it is to expect France to consent 'tain continue to demand payment of to reduction of the German reparation- de‘ht while the United States and Bri- the French debts. Figures are giveni out here to show that if France were to execute the plan of Congress for paynnnt of debts, interest and capiâ€"p tail in 25 years she would have to dis- burse annually the equivalent of 1,â€" 500,000 gold marks more than she could rccciye from Germany, provided the latter loyally executed the terms of May 5, 1921. In other words, the whole reparation indemnity would be swallowed up by the French debt and France would then be left alone to bear the cost of restoring her ruined provinces. A commission entrusted with the task of deciding what public works shall be undertaken first with the aid of German labor and material in part payment of the reparation debt is about to submit its report to the Gov- ernment. After the schelne has been approved by the Cabinet, it will be sent to the Reparations Commission, which will transmit it to Germany. Em HOUSE OF COMMONS-P TO HAVE 244 MEMBERS After Redistribution Ontario Will Have 81. Representa- tives at Ottawa. A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" There will be 244 members in the House of Commons after the next reâ€" distribution, according to the revised population figures for Canada, which have been given out by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. This is an in- crease of nine members over the preâ€" sent House. The distribution of the members among the provinces in the present House and after redistribution will compare as follows on the basis of these figures; ‘ New Present Province House House Quebec 65 Nova Scotia 14 16 New Brunswick . . . . . . 11 11 Prince Edward Island. 4 4 Ontario ......81 82 Manitoba 15 Saskatchewan . . . . . . . 21 16 Alberta . . . . . . . 16 12 British Columbia . . . . 14 13 Yukon 1 1 The chief increases in membership are, as were expected, in the Prairie Provinces, which will send eleven more members to Parliament after redis- tribution than they do now. The de- creases are in Nova Scotia and‘ On- tario. The province which gets the largest increases is Saskatchewan, with five; while Alberta is a close sec- ‘ and, with four. It is not certain whether the Yukon will retain its separate representation after redistribution. That territory was first given a member by Act of Parliament in 1902. At that time there was a population of 27,219 in the ter- ritory, but at present it is only 4,157. --â€"-â€"â€"â€".â€"___._ Large Shipment of Canadian Cars to Britain A despatch from London sayszâ€"The statement that 85 per cent. of the firm's cars im- » ported into England were comâ€" pletely manufactured in Cana- da, was made by the manag- ing director of General Motors Limited, in opening the com- pany's new plant at Hendon.

It will be welcome news to the alumni of University College to learn that the Government of Ontario has provided money for the erection of an Administration Building for the Uni- versity of Toronto and that the plans have already been drawn. For many years graduates of University College and students in attendance there have felt very strongly that the historic old college was not receiving “a square deal.” Its classrooms have been al- together too few and too small in proportion to the number and the size of the classes taking instruction there. The college has been submerged in the provincial university and has not had any opportunity for the develop- ment of that corporate life which is characteristic of the other three arts colleges, Victoria, 'Ilm'nity, and St. Michael’s. Even the name Univresity College, has fallen somewhat into disâ€" use because itis building has been known as the Main Building of the university. The new building, which is now under way, is to be erected at the rear of Convocation Hall. It will provide offices for the President, the Registrar, the Bursar, the Superin- tendent of Buildings, and the Director of University Extension. The removal of these offices from University Col- lege will set free several rooms for classroom instruction and will restore to University College the distinct identity which has been dormant for many years. .__._4;._.

Jewish National Home Founded in Palestine Condition of Climbing Parties Renders Further Progress faced the certainty that they would Premier and ‘ Impossible. A despatch from London says:â€" Mount Everest has again baffled the best efforts of man. The Calcutta correspondent of the Daily Telegraph confirms previous re- ports that Brigadier-General C. G. Bruce, head of the present expedition, has been forced to the conclusion that persistence in the effort to scale the peak would only result in useless tragedy. General Bruce was most reluctant to abandon further attempts, but the condition in which the two last climbâ€" ing parties returned, the advice of, his medical officers and the certainty of Worse weather conditions daily, forced him to a decision, says the writer. Major H. T. Morshead was the worst sufi‘erer from frost bites. O. L. Mallory and another member of the party also were badly bitten and sev-I eral others less severely. , . The correspondent quotes “one of the greatest authorities on the Him- alayas” as saying that Bruce’s “glor- ious failure” has proved conclusively that the summit is almost und‘ttainâ€" able. The authoritative view in India is that if an expedition started earlier in the season it might be barely posâ€" sible to reach within a thousand feet of the top, but that the last lap could only be covered by almost superhuman effort, under unprecedently favorable weather conditions, and by men who London, July 2.â€"The British Gov- ernment's statement of policy regard- ing Palestine, issued to-day in the form of a White Paper, says: “The British Govemment reaffirms the declaration of November, 1917, which is not susceptible of change. Al Jewish national home will be founded in Palestine, and Jewish people will be in Palestine as of right, and not on suiferance. “But his Majesty’s Government has no such aim in view as that Palestine should become Jewish as England is English.” â€"â€"â€"-â€".’.§â€"â€",_.â€".I Eastern Canada Railways to Reduce Fares A desrpatch from Montreal says:â€" At a meeting of the Canadian Pas- senger Association in Montreal the railways in Eastern Canada decided to authorize some reduction in fares for weekâ€"end trips from the larger centres to nearby summer resorts and coun- try places, also for organized society excursions, pilgrimages, round-trip parties, celebrations and demonstra- tions, efiective July 10. Particulars of these reduced fares will be in the hands of agents by July 10. RUSSEANS AGREE TO , DISCLOSE FINANCES! Moratorium May be Extended- to Country’s War Debts. A despntch from The Hague says:â€" Canccllation of Russia's war debts on I the basis of the Genoa moratorium for preâ€"war debts and interest was de- cided on in effect at the meeting of the Russians with the non-Russian sub-committee. The Russians agreed to lay bare their Budget showing ex- ‘traordinary and ordinary receipts and lexpenditnrcs. The decisions followed a lspirited sotâ€"to between the French and the Soviet delegates, the former at- tempting to reopen the Genoa agree- ments, but Soklonikofi‘, the Russian Commissar of Finance, asserted that he entered the meeting determined to wipe out Russia’s war debts. M. Alphand of France outlined the' work of the subâ€"committee under five divisions: First, Russian Government loans; second, Provincial, railroad and public utility loans guaranteed by the Russian Government; third, similar loans not. guaranteed; fourth, treasury bills; fifth, other public utilities. M. Alphand demanded that the Rus- sians submit details of the Budget showing financial circulation, which} Litvinofi’ attempted to place beyond; the province of thersub-committee. M. Alphand explained the details1 necessary before a moratorium could be declared or other facilities for pay- ment made possible. Litvinofi‘ contend~ ed that a moratorium was granted at Geno-a, but Alphand insisted that the Genoa decisions were not binding on The Hague Conference. The British expert, Hilton Young, then intervened, explaining that the delegates here are merely experts, and are unable to over- throw the decisions of the Govern- ments settled at Genoa. Litvinofl“ finally agreed to produce the information asked for, but de- manded time to obtain the figures. It is estimated that the claims of for- eigners against Russia total one hun- dred billion dollars. German Police Make .
