J might be affected, was displayed in
the House of Lords recently when
several peers made demands for
facfs concerning the slave trade ac
tivity.
Earl Buxton started the ball roll
ing by asking the government whether
the report upon slavery which the
' foreign secretary undertook to call
for in 1923 had as yet been received,
and also whether the League of Na
tions had asked to be supplied with
any available information on the sub
ject of slavery. In northern Africa
and the Far East, he said, slave
raiding and trading still existed, and
it was knowni, he alleged, that raids
had been made in Kenya and the Su
dan.
Lord Oliver asserted that there
wras a good deal of information on
the subject of slavery in the posses
sion of the government which the
public had the right to know. The
earl in this connection, said condi
tions in Abyssinia wrere much as
they had always been and slavery
and slave raiding existed there to
day.
Replying for the government, Vis
count Cecil explained that the gov
ernment was eager to the utmost of
its power to help in the suppression
of slavery in general and slave raids
in particular. The League of Nations
had undertaken inquiries into this
subject, he said, and one great ad
vantage of the league was that it
worked w'ith the utmost publicity.
That fact alone, it seemed to him,
ought to put an end to any sus
picion, that the British government
desired to hide in any way anything
that its officials were doing in that
direction.
Viscount Cecil went on to say that
the government was prepared to
place all its information at the dis
posal of the league. His information
was that there had been no slave
raids in Kenya, but he would cause
further inquiries to be made.
Lord Gainford maintained that
from information in his possession
it appeared certain that raids had
been made from Abyssinia and Brit
ish subjects made slaves and trans
ported across the Red Sea. and thru
Arabia to Mesopotamia and he could
not understand w'hy the government
had no information along these
lines. The subject is to be brot up
again for further discussion.

15,000 motion picture theaters.

Board of Trade
Debates Greedy
Cows of Quesnel
QUESNEL, B. C., June 23. (/P)—
There has been much good-natured
discussion at meetings of the Board
of Trade here over the question of
enforcing the pound law, and after
the hearing of many opinions it has
been decided that the only thing
to do is to protect the poumUkeeper
from rough treatment at the hands
of irate cow owners, and let the law
take its course.
The chief difficulty in enforcing
the pound act is the retaining of a
pound-keeper. For a time, one year,
the president of the Board of Trade
acted in that capacity, but his life
being threatened on one or two oc
casions by cow owners whose ani
mals he had impounded, no one else
has offered to take the job.
“Its not the gardens they destroy
that bothers me; mine is well fenc
ed,” remarked one member of the
board, “•but in the spring before the
grass gets green the cows come up
to my store and try to scoop the
green things out of the plate glass
window.”
The United States has 4,000,000
acres planted to potatoes.
Fish with poisonous flesh are a
