THE law represents the will Of the
people, and we have obedience and
satisfaction says Premier Tas:h-
eIeau.
The general belief in Montreal is
that the law has brought temperance,
enness, cut taxes and brought about
respect for law.
On the other hand, n group of
prChibitionists is vigorously opposed
to the law. They charge the law gives
arbitrary powers to the liquor com
mission and that it has not reduced
the consumption of liquor.
The new law has not stamped out
drunkenness. Police in Montreal
arrest an average of 10 intoXicatci

arrests, however, goes up i'm summer

TOWNS COMBINE
TO BACK BANK
Border Towns Quickly Sub
scribe Enough Stock

Portal, N. D., March 19.-At a meet
ing held in the Commercial Club Hail
for the purpose Of recognizing the
First International bank, which was
closed last November, it was decided
to open a new bank UNDER the name
of "Union Bank of Portal" The pro-
posed bank will take over the bank
able paper of the closed bank and will
issue certificates Of deposit to the
depositors of the defunct bank, for
the amount of paper taken over, 1t is
expected to open about May l.
The capital stock of the new bank
was placed at $15,000.O0 and this
amount of stock was subscribed be-
fore the meeting closed at IL p. m.
The shareholders of the new bank are
nearly all creditors of the old bank,
comprised of business men on both
sides of the boundary line, there be-
ing no bank in North Portal.
The whirlwind subscription finish
on Saturday night was the culmina-
ton of many weeks of uncertainty as
to whether the bank would be re-or-
ganizcd or pass into the hands Of
receiver. Certain recent changes in
bank regulations in North Dakota,
as result of the financial crisis
arising from so many closed banks,
made it advisable to organize new
bank. Shortly after the closing Of
the First International bank the cled-
itors had signed agreements not to
withdraw deposits until fixed time,
should the bank reopen. These con-
ditions will also apply to the new
bank but are now effective by law
without the signature of deposito1s.

From every quarter of the city
came reports of automobile acct
dents. Cars with tire chains were
helpless on the glazed pavements,
while those without chains were
hopeless. South Portland bridge
early In the forenoon was lined with
machines and trucks which had
smashed into the curbing, or were
waiting to have chains adjusted or
new ones purchased.
Trolley cars were delayed on oil
linesAby automobiles unable to get
out OF the tracks. American Express
trucks were stalled in many places.
One slid nearly the entire length of

Union station, striking trolley poles
as 1t passed.

Attack by Plane

planes" Major William +. Mitchell
testified today before the house air
craft investigating committee in re-
ply to question about the sinking
of the hull of the unfinished battle
ship Washington Off the Virginia
Capes.
The problem was merely one of
strengthening the explosive charges
carried by the bombs. he said.
AS to the possibility of inaugural
ing an services between continents,
he said that regular air transporta-
ton between the United States and
Asia will be started far earlier than
with Europe. The world fiiers, Gen.
eral Mitchell said, had proved the
ease with which Asia could be reach
ed compared with Europe.
With an annual appropriation equal
to half the cost of a battleship, said
General Mitchell, the United States
could control the seas by air In two
years. At present. he asserted. Great
Britain and Japan are the greatest
air powers, the United States having
a strength relative only to that OF
Italy despite appropriations which
he considered adequate for the main
tenance of n powerful air feet.

British Premier
Is Vague in Voicing
Policies of Regime

London, Dec. 11.-(By A. P.)-Pre-
mier Baldwin today outlined somewhat
briefly and vaguely the British gov
ernment's intentions for reversing the
policy Of the late Macdonald govern
ment, which. on the ground that they
We're of protective tendency. abol-
ished a number of war duties imposed
on various commodities under the safe
guarding of industries act.
Mr.. Baldwin repudiated the idea OF
using the act as a wedge to introduce
a protective tariff, and admitted that
taxation of food was not practical poll
tics. He stipulated that any industries
requiring to be .safeguarded must
prove themselves important and effl-
cient and to be suffering from excep-
The premier suggested submitting
the question Of lapsed duties and the
like to an economist committee. which
he said first should deal with meat and
fruit. These article could not be realt
with by taxes, but he hoped 1t was not
beyond the wit of man to devise some
plan by which. without taxing the
food Of the British people. 1t might be
possible to modify the course Of trade
for the benefit of the empire. He pro-
posed that any duty levied under sthe
safeguarding of industries act should
be a general any not particular duty.
Discriminating duties against partic-
ular countries had their drawbacks IN
working. while a general duty was no
breach of the favored nations clause In
treaties.
The premier was strongly attacked
by the late chancellor of the exchequer,
Philip Snowden, and former Premier
Lloyd George.
1t was stated unofficially tonight
that the idea Mr.. Baldwin advanced of
spending n million pounds yearly is to
stimulate empire exports of meats and
fruit to Great Britain by substituting
shippers who bring in copsignments
of colonial meat, apples and certain
other commodities in excess OF guaran-
teed quantities. The entire question.
however, has to be threshed out by a
committee yet unappointed, to include
colonial representatives.
