But q collision a few million years
ago would fit the known facts, they
state. The collision could, they say,
slow the earth's rate of rotation.
That would change earth's elliptical
shape, its f1attening at the poles, be-
cause there would be less centrifugal
pull about the Equator and the fat
ness Of the poles would tend to rise.
The sea, they explain. is elliptical
the same as the land. But with the
slowing down after collision, the
liquid seas would change their shape,
become less elliptical, with their waters
following speedily toward the poles.
Water Would Change More Quickly.
Far faster would the water thus
change its shape than the earth's
crust. which would lag behind the
water in changing its shape.
During this lag the oceans, between

ALBERTA PREMIER
STILL SEEKS LOAN
Government Withholds Its
Guarantee in Face of
Banks offer.
By the Associated Press.

EDMONSTON, April 3.-Efforts OF
Premier William Aberhart to arrange
a loan for redemption of Albert's S.
100000 bond maturity continued to-
day A federal government guarantee
to back the loan was an essential part
of pending negotiations.
Assistance in the form of 81, $50 900
advance was proffered by the Impe-
rial Bank of Canada. There was only
one condition attached to the offer
that the Dominion government guar
antee the principal.
Finance Minister Charles Dunning
said at Ottawa that failure of the
social credit leader to commit HIM
self to a loan council scheme pre-
cluded possibility of Dominion finan-
cial aid
The federal treasury so far has de-
clined to consent to guarantee for
the same reason it refused to issue
loan-aid to the Province The Do
minion government, Dunning stated,

amounts of Dominion funds or guar

Per Cent Asked.
Premier Aberhart said the bank Of
fered to advance the money at per
cent. The loan could be refunded at
any time.
'As long as the principal was pro-
tected," he stated, the province could
do anything it liked about the inter-
est We agreed to earmark as much
of the Federal subsidy as necessary
to guarantee the interest"
A Federal guarantee for 80 days,
he declared, would not cost the Do
minion Treasury one cent, yet the
Dominion has refused to guarantee
the loan and, as result, the province
defaulted its bond issue"

He contrasted the governments ac-

the province defaulted AS long as
the issue retains its identity and is
not refunded, he said, the present rate
of interest will be paid on it. Under
the terms of Alberta's new compul-
sorry refunding legislation, however,
1t will be one of the first issues to be
converted into perpetual provincial
bonds.
The compulsory refunding bill, en-
bracing the whole public debt of
Sl60000,000, was given second read
ing yesterday in the Legislature. 1t

spokesman said today that an adjust
ment of the divergent views Of France
and Great Britain on the question OF
Germany's navy was hoped for within
the next three weeks.
Failing such an adjustment, 1t was
said, the international naval confer
ence, in which the United States and
Italy, as we'll as France and Great
Britain, are participating, might
break up without an agreement.
The British remained adamant tor
day in their demands that Germany
must be included as a co-signatory OF
any naval agreement reached on a
basis of noval heights.
The French, on the other hand, was
representa- as believing that no
French government could stand
which agreed to permit Germany TO
enter conference as naval equals.
It was believed possible that the
French delegation might try to delay
the decision until after Frances
spring elections.
Such a move, however, was regard
ed as likely to have disastrous eff
feet on the conference, since the re-
representatives. of the United States
might not agree to such a delay.
