Prince of Wales
TO Visit Canada
By ROBERT c. DAWSON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON. Jul; , The Prince of
Wales and Premier Stanley Baldwin
will travel to Canada on Eve s
Own Ship
This is the title conferred on the
Empress of Australia, latest addi-
tion to the Canadian Pacific 5 At
lantic Fleet. on which suites have
been reserved for the Prince and the
Premier who will embark at South
hampton on July %, bound for Ca
NADIA in connection with the Dia
mond Jubilee celebrations.
Built in Germany the year before
the war, this ship was among those
handed over TO the British as re-
parations. The Canadian Pacific
purchased and ran her on the Paci
fic service and curing the great
earthquake in Yokahoma in Sep
tember 1928. she distinguished her
self as a haven of refuge for home
less and wounded. 4
Now. at a cost of $2.500,000. she
has been rc-crgined ana practically
rebuilt and is promoted TO the At
lantic route.
The ship won its name because in
decorations and conveniences it is
arranged so as to be particularly at
tracTiv2 to women.
At almost every turn there are
flowers in profusion while the color
schemes in the lounges. the ladies
drawing room and the smoking room
are extremely pleasant. The state
rooms are spacious and are fitted
with so many switches that wherever
/" Eve y may be she has only 70
raise her little finger to switch the
light Oh or off as she desires.
There is a shop on the main deck
where silk "hankies. - stockings
and Other feminine fancies NAV be
purchased and the hairdresser : 60.
loon is equipped with the most mod
ern appliances for bobbing shing-
ling and permanent waving.
The suite reserved for the Prince
is on the starboard side of the ship
and consists of bedroom, a lounge
verandah literally filled with flow
erS, dining room. bathroom and box
room. the Premier's quarters being
almost identical on the opposite
side.
In the gymnasium are two cleo
tricallv driven "horses, one fit
ted with a gentleman 5 saddle and
the other for the use Of ladies. On
the former the Prince will be able to
take his morning ride, for with the
touch Of a lever the machine will
emulate the motion Of a real mount
and can be made to walk, trot or
gallop.
Another section Of the ship which
IS likely 10 receive frequent visits
from II. X. II. is the large swimming
nool. the only one on the Canadian
Atlantic route, decorated in the
Pomp"iian stvle ana surrounded
with luxurious dressing room.

Aboii ton Of

LONDON, July THE recent
crop IN the price of rubber to l
STERLING 4 La per pound-the low,
est price recorded since the early
part OF l924-has again aroused
agitation here for the abolition of
the Stevenson Scheme of rubber

Lord Stevenson has enervated Brit

who operate OIL a zol.E,s,s.,uss
basis. There Is also undas impetus
being given to the utilization OF re-
claimed rubber, it is charged as a
result OF the exorbitant prices ire
quently resulting from the Steven
son scheme.
According to the financial editor
of the Liberal "Manehcster Omar.
dian, the American manufaetur.
ers who from 1927 10 1924 used
barely one tone Of reclaimed rubber
to every four tons Of crude rubber
are now using one ton Of reclaimed
rubber to two tons II crude. This
change IN practice on the part Of
the manufacturers Of the United
states is due to the Improvement
in the reclaiming technique stimu-
lated by the prohibitive price level
of crude rubber in 1928. Statistics
show that the United States in 1925
employed approximately 10000
more tons of reclaimed rubber than
in 1924 as compared with the in
crease of only $1,000 tons Of crude
rubber.
In 1921. before the scheme came
into operation, the percentage of
the worlds production of rubber
grown in the restricted areas Of
Malay and Cevlon was estimated st
20 per cent and the percentage
grown in the Dutch East Indies at
about - per cent. But in 1926 the
production in Malay and Ceylon
had fallen to about 80 per cent of
the world total while the produc-
tion in the Dutch East Indies had
risen to at least 33 per cent.
Despite this agitation for the alb
olition of the Stevenson scheme. l..
5. Amery. the Minister for Colon
les, in answer to q question in the
house of commons declared that he
was aware of the large fall in the
price of raw rubber but that the
was not contemplating
the abolition lor the restriction OF
the scheme.
Before the recent drop in the
price Of rubber it had been thought
that the Stevenson Scheme would
stabilize the price of rubber at the
very lowest at Is Sd per pound.
