ottawa, Aug. 7th.-The- sec0nd .ses-
sion of the Imperial Press Conference
closed this afternoon with a short session
in which merely routine business was
taken up and disposed of and the dele
gates left tonight for Toronto. Empire
trade formed the subject. of an address
by Sir George Foster before the Satur-
day morning conference. Sir George
said he welcomed the opportunity Of
meeting men whose influence for good
or evil was so tremendous. No bounds,
he said, could be set on he achievements
of a high-minded and united press with
in the Empire. Its opportunity for mis-
chief as we'll as for good was %boundless,
and it ought to make. pressmen feel their
responsibility. He was glad. he con
tinued, that the question Of imperial
trade had been placed in the forefront
of the convention. AS to the name I'm
perial he did not object to it one iota,
in fact he ~rcjoiced in it, because OF Its
influence in reckoning forward to great
e things within the Empire. If this
Imperial Press Conference would throw
it's weight and influence behind the adj
vocacy of Empire trade development and
stay with it for twenty-five years, its
progress would eclipse anything ever
ACCOMPLISHED of a like nature in Cana
da, said Sir George. He had taken a
very strong position in regard to lmpe-
rial trade and there were many ways IN
which it could be fostered, one OF the
most essential being the method OF pre-
ference between the component parts OF
the Empire. He then traced the pre-
ferences granted by Canada since 1879
down to the one contaminated only a few
, 1920-08-17

days ago with the British West India
Islands, and declared that the lead given
by Canada had had an inevitable re-
action in the United Kingdom where
the principle of preference had been re-
cognized by the granting Of actual pre-
ference IN. colonial products, In addi-
ton to better commodities, said Sir
George. trade meant, in a larger sense,
an exchange of man power of spiritual
ity and the enterprise of peoples. In
the last fifty years, He said, the best
of brains and character which has pour
ed from the British isles to this country
had been contributing forces in the
worlds development, In so far as this
contribution had gone to British coun-
tries, the effect had been to benefit
the British race, but much of this val
liable man power had gone to foreign
countries. 1t was, he declared, unrea-
sonable to expect that British emigra-
ton should be directed solely to the
colonies of the Empire, but it was fair
ta ask that these colonies should have
the first call. Trade ought to he idea
lized. In the original barter of conmo-
dities between neighbours to their mu-
tual advantage, and later in the first
activities of the middle man, as a useful
agent between SUCH uGISuUOuIS, tIduS
had meant only service to mankin6.
rather than dividends, and this must
again become the paramount considera-
ton. If British citizens would use their
enterprise and spirit of adventure in
developing the r natural resources tor
the good of one another, they could
make the waste spaces of the Empire
blossom like the rose. He wished
he had the power of a wizard SO that he
could take hold of the power of the En-
pire and use it for the development of
the democracy and the prosperity Cf the
Empire. but, said Sir George, we
have all the-power that such a wizard
would use and we can use it if we will tc
the same end. If British citizens would
make up their minds to it", he contin-
ued, they were equipped 70 meet the
menacing years ahead, which are not
less menacing than the darkest days of
the war and they would weather the
shoals as they had met the dangers Of
war;. Sir. George received an ovation
at the end of his speech and the chair
mans vote of thanks was warmly en-
dorsed. Lord Burnham said that news
papers combined perhaps to lake the
nearest approach to the world wizard,
Sir George had referred to, and that
they hoped to use their power for the
realization of the objects which he had
urged upon them.

The trees were without branches
and stood vertical, or nearly SO; they
were scmipctrifcd. The longest trunk

top. 10 inches thick. rose to within I
feet OF the surface of the lake. The
butt was feet q inches In diameter.
and the roots, firmly embedded In III.

In Lake Washington. nearly u hundred
trees were destroyed. The cleanup
gave count Of mere than u hundred
trunks during the first three months
OF 1870, or Manltou point. The lnrg.
est trunk In that area stood 10 l2l feet
OF water. 100 feet from shore. The
tree was III feet long. with a o.inch
top ana 3foot butt.
Wherever possible. the trees were
pulled out by the roots. Fastcnlngs
were made to the trunks by dragging
the blight OF cable through the wnisr
at The required depth. When the
blight touched the trunk. one end of
the cable was passed through nm eye
at the other end. and the loop formed
was run down to the trees. When the
trees were hauled up. they were cut
into 4-foot sections and thrown back
Into the lake. Since they were water
logged. they Immediately sank.
Sometimes q trunk was caught that
could not be uprooted. Such trees
were blasted on at the top until YES
