The city of Prince George lost one of its best citizens on Sunday morning in the sudden death of Charles A. Pyne. Mr. Pyne contracted a cold about a week ago but did not consider his condition serious, and not desiring �to give his friends concern elected to remain in his residence rather than go to the hospital. He put up & brave fight for a week, slipping out of his �jick bed to drive down to his office in the afternoon and attend to his correspondence. From, the first he was urged by Dr. Evert to go to the hospital but he refused to give in, and remained at home for treatment. He

Washing'On, Aug. .29�The refusal of Henry Ford to sign the industrial code for the automobile industry may bring on a fight between Ford and the federal government. Ford's friends es:ert his unwillingness to sign the le is due to his determination to "go it alone" in all his enterprises, more than any disposition to fight the government's industrir". recovery programme, but it is also admitted Ford dees not like being placed in a position in which labor-heads may dictate to him. General Hugh S. Johnson, head of the industrial recovery programme, says Ford will not be permitted to remain outside the code Should he decide to do so the United States government will refuse to purchase any cars.

CANADA MAY REDUCE WHEAT AREA BY FOUR MILLION ACRES
Ottawa, Aug. 28�An effort is being made to secure the consent of the governments of the prairie provinces to cut the wheat production area in 1934 to 200,000,000 acres, which would mean reducing the wheat area next year by 4,000.000 acres. An effort is to be made to reach the reduction by consent, but if this fails legislation may be invoked. The trouble with reducing the acreage in Canada is that it has nothing like the processing tax out

is interference with his liberty of ac ticn. At present the Ford schedule i a five-day, 40-hour week, with a mini mum wage cf 50 cents an hour. Thi schedule was adopted not long after the industry, exclusive of the Ford Company, had agieed upon a maxi-
Company, imu �.B�<..., ... mum of 35 hours a week and a minimum of 40 to 43 cents an hour.
Mr. Ford has refrained from any open comment regarding the code I tentatively agreed upon by his fellow i manufacturers, but he is known to be bitterly opposed to it. Associates have rep'esented him as holding that the National Recovery Act proposes to "hand industry over to labor union of-fipinis." He resents the idea, they add.
who have followed the philosophy ever a period of years.. suggested that in his present alttitude I regarding t,he automobile code he was J but giving another manifestation cf his "ec it alcne" ps-licy.- This policy started in 1919 when Mr. Ford bought out all his early partners and made the Fcrd company n purely family corporation.
He gave the philosophy its first real test in the bleak years for the auto-mobile industry that came in 1921-22. when he refused Wall Street aid�on its own terms�tmd through drastic merchandising programs pulled his oompanv out nf the difficulties that beset all industry a* that time.

MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE
Lack of Fair Medium Great Deficiency of Capitalistic System to be Fought
j Dr. J. Lyle Tellord. of Vancouver, j was gieeted by a capacity house oit Fi'day evening when he stepped on the stage at the Princess theatre to deliver his address en the plaoform of the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation. The doctor Ls an entertaining rather than convincing speaker. He does a lot of w:se-cracking to get the laugh and succeeds, but when he Ls through his audience has a very nebulous conception cf the CC.F., and none at all as to the manner in which i the 'heories advanced should be ap-! plied. Fortunately ior Dr. T^lfoid, � however, the supporters of C.L.D.L. wore present in considerable force, and at the clcce of h.:s address made it plain they are very much opposed to the C.C.F. Seme of them were inclined to be abusive of J. S. Woods-worth, the head of the new political party, and they rounded out their dissent with Canadian institutions in general with the singing of The Red Flag. The reaction of the audience was favorable to Dr. Teiford and the new doctrine he was preaching. Mcst of its members were free to admit they had been unable to appreciate the method of application and the working out of the new system, but they reasoned there must be something commendable in any system of government which would rouse the opposition of the C. L.D.L. The outstanding feature of the evening was the demonstration there is no immediate connection between 'this ohase of communism and the C.CJP.
In the course of his tilt with the representatives of the C.L.D.L. Dr. Tel-ford declared he is not a communist, but. at the same- time in the cours? of his remarks he admitted to a very high regard for the manner in v.'hich the government is being administered in Soviet Russia. What the soeaker may have meant to say probably was that he is not the type of Communist as represented by the C. L. D. L. throughout Canada.
In opening his address Dr. Teiford enumerated a numbsr of causes which he said have been erroneously advanced as responsible for the unsatisfactory condition of affairs in Canada in which hundreds of thousands of men found themselves without employment and m poverty, in a country of great natural wealth. He d:scarded the customs tariff as an explanation for the yitua'icn. asserting the situation is as bad in the United States a-s it is 'n Canada, despite the fact that in the former country a system of complete free trade has existed between the forty-eight states constituf-ing the union, and they also enjoy the advantage of an excellent sysk,em of railways to secure distribution. The Orental contention was discarded in like manner. , It is advanced on the Pacific cacst. but condHons in this part of the world are not so bad as in many part^ cf Eurooe where then* exists no Oriental problem. The C.C.F. content?on:is none of these thiners are responsible for present conditions to-the same extent as the absence of a suitable medium of exchange.
Dr. Teiford paintPd a very gloomy picture cf the future he says is in store for the pecv>le scattered along ?the line of the C.N.R. from Prince Rupert, to Pi'nee George. He said there is no hope for them, as they' are without a market for what they can produce. He a^ked them how they coulH hope to compete with the farmers in '.he Fraser Valley who have their market at their dooi-s. and even on the delta lands he said he believed

AUSTRALIA AND JAPAN ENGAGED IN LITTLE WAR OF TARIFFS
London. Aug. 29�What may develop into a first-cla?s tariff war between Australia and Japan has been started. Australia started the trouble by imposing a dump ng charge on Japanese which have been flooding the market and the Japanese his action with the decision to^nurchase no more rawvwoolri^ Australia. The Japanese have called

The possibility for trouble lies with the two determined men concerned. General Johnson is determined the prejudices of one man .'�hall net. bp permitted to jeopardize the success of the NRA program, and on the other ��ide Henry Ford will resent state interference in an enterprise which from the start has led the procession in ac-r*"- din? favored, treatment, to its em- j ployees. This time Ford will be faced �'1'h thp greatest forces :n the United States, the NRA organization which has swep* the country, and '�he in'erests which have been with Ford for several years.

Touching on,the natural resources of the country he contended they should be made as freely accessible to the people of the country as the air they breathed, nothing should stand between the natural resources and the neople who desired to use them. Modern machinery and labor-sav'ne devices came in Ior brief no'-lce. They have been designed 'to cut down manual work, but in effect they have taken the work away from men and have thrown great numbers of workers upon the economic ^crap-heap.
