by
local
shippars

form of the tender.
The points objected
to are the ralling for tenders
for sailin;
s
from Halifax or St. John
ani the calling
for only
alternate
stops
at
some of the
small
shipping
points.
It
is felt
that
St.
John should be necessarily
a shipping
port for the service and also
that
all the
West
Indies ports should
be
called at on
each
trip,
as
it
is
hoped
to build up
a
ccnsiderabie
trade
with
some
of
these
places.
A letter

department
this

stating
that
the
matter
of

itinerary generally
would
be
gone

London,
April 2nd. —One
of
the hot-
test
recaptions
yet
given
by
striking
fishermen
at Aberdeen
to
Germans
arriv-
ing
at
that
port
witl
catches
of fish
from
the
North
Sea,
was
that
meted
out
to
the
crews
of four German
traw-
lers
today.
Three
thousand
strikers
vaided
the
Abardeen
fish
market
and
pelted
the
crews of
the German
vessels
with lumps of
ice.
our
German
traw-
lers,
which
rad
arrived
previousiv
and
unloaded
earzoes
of fish,
were
set
adrift
by
the
strikers
but
they
were
berthed
later under police protection.
The
distur-
bance
in the fish market
became
so great
that
special
police
reinforcements
were
rushed
to the
scene.
The
strike
of
the
Aberdeen
fishermen
began
a
month
ago.
It was
started
as
a
protest
against
the
landing and sale
of (German-caught
fish.
I,oeal dealers,
however,
have
not
ceased
doing business
with
the
German
fisher-
men.

London, April 2nd.—The
I[ndependent
Labour party,
at
today’s
session
of
its
three
day conference,
adopted
a
resolu-
tion
condemning
the
Ruhr
occupation
and
demanding
the
withdrawal
of
all
foreign
forees
from
Germany.
During
the
discussion
of
the
resoluiion
Herr
Crispien. o’ Germany,
said
the Socialists
in Ins country
desired
that
in
any
case
the British
should
not
withdraw
alone.
M. Longuett,
of France,
asserted
that
but for the split in
the
French
Socialist
party
M.
Puincare
would
never
have
decided
to embark
upon
‘‘The
abomina-
ble Ruhr adventure’’.
He added
be
had
strong
hopes
that
next
year’s
election
would
not
only
destroy
M.
Poincare’s
majority,
but double the
Socialist
repre-
sentation
in
Parliament.
The
King’s
recent
invitation of
the
Labourites
to
Buckingham
palace,
over
which
there
has
been
much controversy,
also
came
up
for
discussion.
‘lt
shows

have
reachad
our rightful place in
the councils
of the
nation’’,

Dr.
Gardner,
chairman
ot the

the
invit: ion.
‘"Allhe (Mr. Asquith)

Many wi.l

be loarh
to
attribute
his

so regardiess

fortunately

shown
dignity
and
real
wisdom
in

declining

to
the
Polish
Government,

chr vacterizing Poland’s attempted
inter-

terence
with Russiun
jusiice
as
an
un-

friendly act.
So far

that representatives

told
the
British representatives

in
Monscow,
or
any
body
else,
that his

trial had only a
formal
significance
ard

would have
no serious
consequences.
The

Russian
Government,
it
is
added,
de-
clines
to enter
into
a
discussion
of
un-
permissible
and
unfounded
accusations
aavanced
against

Washington,
April 2nd.—The
Secre-
tary of State
has
informed
the
WFrench,
British, ltalian and
Greek
Governments,
in iden‘ical notes
handed
their
represen-
tatives
in Washington,
that
the
Ameri-
can
Red Cross
will
terminate
Its
emer-
geney relief work in Greece
on
June
30ch
next.
The
note
declares
that
the
solu-
tion of
the
relief
prooiem
in
the
Near
East
can hardly lie in
measuares
of
tem-
porary relief alone
and
suggests
a coop
erative
agreement
between
the
nations
interested,
which would
make
1t possible
for the thousands
of refugees

sorbed
as promptly
as

New

Apil 3rd.—The
visit
of
Loord Robert
Cecil
has
caused
intense
in-
terest.
The
newspapers
of all shades
of
political
opinion
editorialiy
discuss
his
visit and its probable
effeet
en
the
ques-
tion of
United
States
entrance
into the
League
of
Nations.
The
Times
terms
him a practical
idealist
and after
noting
that he ecame,
not on
a
mission,
but
for
a free exchange
of views,
says:
“‘Under
this guise of a
modest
inquirer, however,
people
are finding

[Lord Robert
Cecil
carries
a
formidable
debating
power’.
The
““World’’, in an
editorial
devoted
to
support
of
the
entrance
of
the
United
States
into the League,
advises
its
read-
ers
to pay
close
attention
to Lord Robert.
‘*No man
can
discuss
the League
of
Na-
tions
more
authoritatively’’,
it
says.
"“The Leacue
that
he
is
talking
about
is
the League
that exists,
the
League
that
is slowly finding itself and
is helping
to
establish
the
ecrumbling
peace
of
the
world.
The
message
that
he brings
is
a
message
that
the
American
people
can-
not
ignore,
for
events
day
