CITY TO CELEBRATE
f00TH ANNIVERSARY

Prof. Weaver explained that the
people OF Columbia were nearly all
mixed negro and Indian blood. with
negro predominating. In Ecuador
the Indian blood Is mixed with Span
ish. In the northern part OF Ecuador
live descendants OF the old Inca
tribes that inhabited the Andes be-
fore the Spanish invasion.
On the seacoast OF Ecuador the
old city OF cartegana is preparing 10
celebrate the 400th anniversary Of
It's founding. The entire city is sur
rounded by a wall about so feet high
and 90 feet wide. with fortresses and
underground passages. This city
was destroyed by Morgan and other
English pirates, but the wall still
stands.
Sixty miles from the seacoast and
10. 900 feet above the sea Is the city
OF Cuenca- This city has paved
roads. electric lights and phones but
is not connected with the outside
world by railroad or cart road
Everything from outside has been
carried in by the Indians who do the
common labor for about is or 20
cents a day

French Customs Surtax Ruling
Benefit 10 American Shippers

Notice has been received by the Red
Star Line from its Antwerp manager of
a ruling by the French government
modifying French customs surtaxes on
goods passing through Antwerp for
AlsaceLorraine and the Saar district,
which is of first Importance to Ameri-
can shippers, as it means saving to
them on surtaXes of 1853 per cent.
The ruling comes as result of long
negotiations between the Belgian and
French governments. 1t is, in sub
stance, that on all shipments on a di-
rect bill of lading for Antwerp, show
ing that the goods shipped are destined
for Alsace-Lorraine or the Saar, the
French customs surtax hitherto i'm
posed will not be collected, regardless
of whether the goods go forward from
Antwerp by water via Strassburg or
by rail via Thionville.
This restores Antwerp as a shipping
point for the territory in question to
the same favorable position it held be-
fore the war

Strong opposition to the operation
Oh the Canadian government merchant
marine vessels in competition with pri-
vate ships is being manifested at the
hearings held by Dominion parlia.
mentary committee appointed to in
vestigate marine and rail conditions.
Halifax witnesses who were here re-
Gently emphasized the difficulties with
which privately-operated Canadian
ships were confronted as a result OF
the governments incursion into the
business.
1t was stated that the government
ships had practically put the Red Cross
Line out of the Newfoundland business
as far as Halifax was concerned. The
lne, IT was said, formerly operated two
vessels, but now did not have business
enough for one.
One witness declared that the rov-
ernment should rot operate ships at
all, as 1t would kill private enterprise,
In his view, the government should
have offered the vessels to the different
concerns operating out of Canada on
terms to be agreed on. The feet. he
sand, should be written down to its
actual value, like other assets created
during the war.
Shipping on time charter, it was
pointed out, could be secured to-day
much lower than formerly, and if the
government remained in the business it
was certain to require a further capital
investment
Another witness declared that it was
wrong that he should be forced to 90
into competition with himself, which
was practically what the present situa-
tlon amounted to, when he, as tax
payer, was forced to make up deficits
caused by the operation of the gov
ernment's tonnage in competition with
his own.
# the policy on which the Canadian
government merchant marine was
founded had been carried out, this wit
ness continued, there would be no OBJ
lection, but what was being done was
to invade the business that had been
developed with the West Indies and
Newfoundland for the last century.
Now" he added, "the government is
putting out of business the Royal Mail,
and II the government undertakes to do
this business it will have at least four
passenger ships
There are now so per cent too many
ships in the Newfoundland business,
which means a slashing of rates. The
general manager of the Royal Mail has
stated that because of the competition
of the government boats his line would
have to advance rates 25 per cent, and
Halifax and st. John shippers have
agreed to this rather than see the line
withdraw, as it provides an absolutely
necessary service. AT present, there
fore, we have to pay the subsidy for
the line and the losses of the govern
ment boats in addition"

believe it is token of real patriotism
at present to stand squarely under our

of our moral support in bringing peace
