He will be accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Duke ol York. * 0 9* BALDWIN ON IMPERIAL POLICY LONDON, Oct. 30—At the Conservative rally today Baldwin, outlining his Imperial policy (which received the support of all present except Beaverbrook), said he had already decided that nothing short of a tariff on foreign manufactured goods would meet the situation of British industry. He pledged to introduce one immediately he came into ofHce. In regard to the Imperial Conference, he said no leader of the Conservative Party could have taken any other line than the one he took—namely, the acceptance of the Dominion Premier- preference offer and the expression of willingness to have a perfectly free hand with which to deal. The whole position had, however, completely changed since Spring. The Conservative Party had now a logical basis upon which to fight. Baldwin at this point exclaimed, "We can not, of course, goon as we have been going. I will not say more about that." Baldwin then referred to his fiscal policy as a policy of the free hand. At the conclusion of his statement, Baldwin asked all supporters of his policy to raise their hands, and Beaverbrook's was the only un- raised hand. Baldwin continued and said that he had been pressed to resign. In some circumstances he would not say that he would have resigned, but would have considered the matter. He declared "Under the present circumstances I will not give It consideration" (loud and prolonged applause) but if the party, after discussion, told him it desired another leader, then he would walk out without malice and retire from poUtics and do nothing to queer the pitch of his successor. On the contrary if the meeting endorsed his leadership he expected more loyalty than had been shown in the past few months. Baldwin then retired from the meeting amid loud applause. At the conclusion of the meeting, a resolution of confidence in Baldwin was unanimously passed. * * * HEAVY FINES FOR SOLLOWAY AND MILLS TORONTO, Oct. 89—W. O. Solloway and Harvey Mills of the defunct teokerage firm of Solloway, Mills and Company today pleaded guilty to a charge of "bucketing" before Mr. Justice Jeffrey in the Criminal Assizes. Solloway was fined $200,000 on this count and Mills $50,000. The other two charges which they were facing were conspiracy to defraud the public and conspiracy to affect the market price of stocks. Having been tried on these charges in Calgary and found guilty these were dropped by the Ontario Court. GUARD FOR NEW BRAZILIAN LEADER RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 29— Extreme precautions were taken today to safeguard the life of Dr. Getulio Vargas proceeding to Ciudad, Sao Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro to assume control of the Brazilian Government. Despite victory of the revolution and almost phenomenal popularity of the man it was felt by revolutionary leaders that there still are elements which question his designation by the military Jaunta which deposed President Luis, as the logical figure for the Presidency. * * * LATE NEWS OF BLOODY BATTLE NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—It was learned today that in bloody battle of the Sengues bgidgehead, October 15 to 20, thousands lost their lives. The news of the battle was held up by censorship at the time. Many are reported lost also in a wrecked train which crashed into a ravine a fortnight ago near Inginiero Schamer station. * * * THE PLIGHT OF SUGAR- PRODUCING COLONIES LONDON, Oct. 29—A Council of the Sugar Federation of the Empire has submitted to delegates of the Imperial Conference a memorandum declaring that the constructive sugar policy in operation in the Empire in recent years as far as it has gone has been an undoubted success, but that the policy today is imperilled not only by the universal depression but particularly by the action of other countries which, influenced by the importance of the sugar industry In their general economic scheme, have embarked on sugar policies even more advanced and certainly more aggressive than ours; also, temporarily, by the remarkable start of Java sugar production secured by the combined effect of advanced research and cheap labour. The extent to which the railing off of most foreign countries has left the so-called world market a mere residual market for dumping surplus sugar and has reacted with especial severity upon the producers In British sugar- growing colonies. These, unlike the sugar-growing dominions, have no home markets for which they produced in the first Instance and which rely upon preference only for further expansion of their production by cheaper disposal of their surplus stock. These sugar producing countries, although producing sugar at lower cost in the Empire, are passing through a grave crisis and are now in such a serious condition that It is uncertain just how long they can survive. "The Oouncii believes that, instead of allowing a successful policy to be frustrated by outside action, it will be well worth while to consider whether the time has not come for such further increase in preference as will enable the Empire production to continue steadily, with the Inevitable consequence which increased production brings, namely, the price (Continned oa Page 10) PERSONxiL^ The Hon.

Y. The wedding took place on Thursday, Oct. 23rd, in the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Rev. Robert Knapp officiating at the simple but beautiful ceremony. The bride was Miss Mildred Louise Stark, of Pawling. She was given In marriage by her uncle, Dr. Howard Wallace Brown. She was charmingly gowned in cinnamon chiffon, large lace bertha, cinnamon shoes, brown velvet hat, and carried a bouquet of Talisman roses tied with brown velvet. The Matron of Honour was Mrs. Fredrick de Hart, sister of the bride. She wore a gown of green lace, green shoes and hat and carried a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums. The groom was attended by his brother-in-law, Mr. John Gianella, of Brooklyn, as best man. The ushers were Messrs. Frederick de Hart and Henry Murphy. After the ceremony a reception for sixty guests was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman. Mrs. Coleman is an aunt of the bride.

AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION -00 THE R101 INQUIRY Further revelations were made yesterday at the resumed inquiry into the disaster to the R 101. The Solicitor-General quoted Irwin's report which said that after three trial flights in July he found the airship "heavy" and the outer cover "flapping considerably." A number of smaU holes appeared In the gasbag and Irwin suspected the gas valves were affected. Professor Bairstow gave a long and technical explanation ln which -oc- "THE HOLY CITY" TONIGHT Our readers are reminded that this most tuneful Cantata, which was composed fox the Birmingham Musical Festival in 1882, is to be given in Wesley Church, HamUton, tonight at 8 o'clock, by a large augmented choir of 50 voices. Mr. Norman Parker wiU preside at the organ and there wiU be several excellent soloists, including Mrs. Norman Parker, Mrs. OUver Spurling, Mr. A. F. Selby, who was formerly solo Tenor o! Portsmouth Cathedral, and Rev. T. M. Salmon- he described the differences between a Zeppelin and the R 100 and R 101 types. A sensation was caused when the Attorney General announced that a document had been picked up in France which was obviously a sheet from the engine log of one of the airship's car units wherein the last entry had been made at 2 a.m. on the morning of the disaster. The entry read "engine revolutions normal." It had previously been announced that aU logs had been burned ,and relatives of the crew had been asked to forward any private letters received from men aboard containing any reference to the flight. ACTING GOVERNOR MAKES DELIGHTFUL OPENING ADDRESS Large Crowd Appreciates Useful and Effective Display Bermuda's first radio, electrical, and talking-machine exhibition, staged in the Bank of Bermuda BuUding, was opened yesterday by His ExceUency the Acting Governor, the Hon. E. W. Evans. The exhibition was remarkable for its comprehension, and to its promoter, Major Cookson, great credit Is due. As the Acting Governor, accompanied by Mrs. Evans, entered the exhibition room, a phonograph record of the National Anthem was played. The Bishop of Bermuda was among those present. In a clever speech, the Acting Governor declared the exhibition open. He said the Bermuda Chamber of Commerce had done him the honour of asking him to open that exhibition, the first of its kind in Bermuda. It was an invitation that he accepted with special pleasure and alacrity, for two reasons. He accepted firstly because it gave him an opportunity of being associated with a remarkable demonstration of Bermuda enterprise, and secondly because he supposed he had been asked to open the exhibition on account of the official position he happened to be occupying, and he was really on an official holiday, because science in general and electricity in particular were very far removed from governmental affairs and procedure, which were essentiaUy non-political. So he could get away from shop, at any rate, his particular form of shop, and expressed himseU without fear of transgressing the canons of official discretion, and he need not enter into difficult exercises in circumlocution for fear or letting an official cat out of an official bag. (Laughter.) The objects of the exhibition were to demonstrate to the pubUc the general use and adaptabUity of electricity. Electricity played an immensely important part in everyday life, but it was a subject on which he was the last person present competent to speak, as it was altogether left out of his education. After explaining that a few days previously he had taken the precaution of seeing Major Cookson —to whose .nU and energy the exhibition owed much (Hear, hear) —for instruction in electrical matters, His Excellency said that perhaps the most far-reaching result of the development of electricity would be that in time to come so much of the drab and irksome drudgery on which the ordinary individual expends himself, and which takes such an enormously large sHce out of our time, might be so cut out or reduced that it would be possible to make the present 24-hour day go as far as a 36- hour day, thus leaving so much more time for doing the things really worth whUe, and really worth doing, and producing the things worth producing, and doing them better than we did now. "I am a great believer in leisure," said His Excellency. "I am inclined to think —tat the reason why in pre-scientlftc and pre-electrical centuries the peoples seemed more fortunate peoples, and carried the art of living to such a stage of perfection, was simply because their work—or perhaps I should say, their dirty work— was done for them by slaves, and they did not have to bother with it. Perhaps with the extension of electrical development, our chUdren, or our grandchildren, may recovers ome of those advantages, without the disadvantages, which the old slave owning societies enjoyed. See Atwater JCent Sets Today. Radio Show — WADSON'S tmmmmp "I think it is rather fortunate that this exhibition co-incides with the time when it is proposed to substitute i.c.w. for spark transmission at the wireless station at St. George's. I beUeve that is a change which wiU be particularly welcomed by the pubUc, to judge from the expressions of one rather embittered critic—who shaU be nameless—who speaking to me & few days ago described the station as the greatest pest in Bermuda. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) This exhibition also co-incides with the time when it is proposed to Unk us with the American Continent by wireless telephone. I feel confident that this exhibition wiU be of immense interest and value." Thanks to His Excellency were moved by Mr. A. J. Gorham, who referred to the interest the Acting Governor had taken in Bermuda affairs since he arrived here—in sport and in other things for the good of all. Little Miss Joan Aitken presented Mrs. Evans with a beautiful basket of flowers. ROUND THE EXHIBITS The entire top floor of the Branch of the Bank of Bermuda is taken up with the booths of the exhibitors. Not many in number, but large in class of exhibits and surpassing in the energy of demonstration and' explaining by the exhibitors wares. The room presents a pretty picture, both the beauty of the exhibits and the simple yet effective decorations add to the homelike feeling of the whole floor. Besides the exhibits, the exhibitors take a large share of the honours so far as the success of the next two days go, for they are on hand and ready to go into the minutest detaU for the benefit of each and every visitor. First on the left as you enter, Robert D. Aitken, whose slogan, "Everything E ectrical for the Home," is so well known in Bermuda, has the booth, then comes the Bermuda Trading Company, then Wadson's with two large enclosures, after which Chesley White is showing a line of Majestic Radios. The Telephone Company is also there with Mr. Ferguson and assistants in action, explaining everything, and next that booth is Mr. J. J. BusheU who is showing his acousticon. The Radio Store has the next space, and then tbe Electric Light Company with two booths. It is only when an exhibition of this kind is under way that the housewives come into their own, and one predicts that the attendance at this show wUl be made up largely of women who are interested in labour-saving devices for the home. And certainly they wiU find it,[for there is practically everything on display that is necessary in housework, aU run by electric current. A great factor is an exact knowledge of the amount of current used in the various pieces of machinery. Washing machines and dish-washers were gre^ilyjadmired during yesterday morning and the demonstrators were1 kept busy pUing cups and saucers, plates and knives and forks Into the receptacles for automatic cleansing. Some of these machines are indeed remarkable for their almost human handling of tableware. Vacuum cleaners are also well to the fore in popularity and there are so many radios and talking machines that the exhibitors are compeUed to take turns in any demonstration that means the switching on of sound. Otherwise the effect would be deafening. (Coatiaari aa Pap lt) ■^■^■'■'Z-*W--**W

After explaining that a few days previously he had taken the precaution of seeing Major Cookson —to whose .nU and energy the exhibition owed much (Hear, hear) —for instruction in electrical matters, His Excellency said that perhaps the most far-reaching result of the development of electricity would be that in time to come so much of the drab and irksome drudgery on which the ordinary individual expends himself, and which takes such an enormously large sHce out of our time, might be so cut out or reduced that it would be possible to make the present 24-hour day go as far as a 36- hour day, thus leaving so much more time for doing the things really worth whUe, and really worth doing, and producing the things worth producing, and doing them better than we did now. "I am a great believer in leisure," said His Excellency. "I am inclined to think —tat the reason why in pre-scientlftc and pre-electrical centuries the peoples seemed more fortunate peoples, and carried the art of living to such a stage of perfection, was simply because their work—or perhaps I should say, their dirty work— was done for them by slaves, and they did not have to bother with it. Perhaps with the extension of electrical development, our chUdren, or our grandchildren, may recovers ome of those advantages, without the disadvantages, which the old slave owning societies enjoyed.

Radio Show — WADSON'S tmmmmp "I think it is rather fortunate that this exhibition co-incides with the time when it is proposed to substitute i.c.w. for spark transmission at the wireless station at St. George's. I beUeve that is a change which wiU be particularly welcomed by the pubUc, to judge from the expressions of one rather embittered critic—who shaU be nameless—who speaking to me & few days ago described the station as the greatest pest in Bermuda. (Laughter, and hear, hear.) This exhibition also co-incides with the time when it is proposed to Unk us with the American Continent by wireless telephone. I feel confident that this exhibition wiU be of immense interest and value." Thanks to His Excellency were moved by Mr. A. J. Gorham, who referred to the interest the Acting Governor had taken in Bermuda affairs since he arrived here—in sport and in other things for the good of all. Little Miss Joan Aitken presented Mrs. Evans with a beautiful basket of flowers. ROUND THE EXHIBITS The entire top floor of the Branch of the Bank of Bermuda is taken up with the booths of the exhibitors. Not many in number, but large in class of exhibits and surpassing in the energy of demonstration and' explaining by the exhibitors wares. The room presents a pretty picture, both the beauty of the exhibits and the simple yet effective decorations add to the homelike feeling of the whole floor. Besides the exhibits, the exhibitors take a large share of the honours so far as the success of the next two days go, for they are on hand and ready to go into the minutest detaU for the benefit of each and every visitor. First on the left as you enter, Robert D. Aitken, whose slogan, "Everything E ectrical for the Home," is so well known in Bermuda, has the booth, then comes the Bermuda Trading Company, then Wadson's with two large enclosures, after which Chesley White is showing a line of Majestic Radios. The Telephone Company is also there with Mr. Ferguson and assistants in action, explaining everything, and next that booth is Mr. J. J. BusheU who is showing his acousticon. The Radio Store has the next space, and then tbe Electric Light Company with two booths. It is only when an exhibition of this kind is under way that the housewives come into their own, and one predicts that the attendance at this show wUl be made up largely of women who are interested in labour-saving devices for the home. And certainly they wiU find it,[for there is practically everything on display that is necessary in housework, aU run by electric current. A great factor is an exact knowledge of the amount of current used in the various pieces of machinery. Washing machines and dish-washers were gre^ilyjadmired during yesterday morning and the demonstrators were1 kept busy pUing cups and saucers, plates and knives and forks Into the receptacles for automatic cleansing. Some of these machines are indeed remarkable for their almost human handling of tableware. Vacuum cleaners are also well to the fore in popularity and there are so many radios and talking machines that the exhibitors are compeUed to take turns in any demonstration that means the switching on of sound. Otherwise the effect would be deafening. (Coatiaari aa Pap lt) ■^■^■'■'Z-*W--**W |
