A Let-Down Coming So Colonel Drew's warning that-Canada should prepare now for the end of the armament race is not the voice of a lone prophet. Men of vision are look- ing ahead to count the cost,, realizing that fictitious prosperity invariably brings retribution. There is no cause for alarm in the suggestion that when the vast expenditures on armaments ~--cease there may be a let-down in gen- oral employment and production, but there is real reason for anticipating such an outcome.--Toronto Globe and Mail. g _ Native Fruit It seems that the invasion of Can- ada's hinterlands by Baron 'Tweeds- muir, the Governor General, has op- ened his eyes to one thing, the won. and 'caution - most lovely blue extending all around.

There has been steadily pressing need of bring: ing up to date the financial and ad- ministrative arrangements between the partners to Confederation. There have been repeated increases in the subsidies to individual provinces. In the Maritimes and the West there has been complain of the incidence of tax cial difficulties of the Western prov- fnces became so great In recent years that they were quite unable to carry on without aid from the Dominion. The business of this country has been hampered by uncertainly as to delimi- tation of Federal and Provincial juris. dictions. And the general desire for certain measures of social reform has been largely frustrated by difficulties over jurisdiction. The time was more than due when the country should squarely face this whole situation and make those readjustments which are urgently required in view of the econ- omic transformation of Canada in the last seventy years, the vast expansion of provincial services and the necess- ity of dealing with social problems as they have already been dealt with by many other countries.-- Winnipeg Free Press. THE EMPIRE Changing China A mighty spiritual revival, more than anything else in my opinion, is drawing the people of China closer and closed together in the great cause of a united and unified nation. In every school, college and university; in every factory and business house: in the villages and in the great cities, the gospel of the New Life Movement is being preached with a fervour and persistency which has reached the national renaissance. It is a move ment unique In the history of the world; it constitutes an inspiring ex- ample to the materialistic West. That is one of the many lessons which China can teach the world. -- Hong Kong Press.

During the win- ter months Dudley is pro at the Augusta National Links, where the annual Masters' tourney is played, while in the summer he is at the Philadelphia Country Club and this year he has the job of being captain of the P.G.A. and chairman of the committee that makes the' selection of the international teams. He rep- resented the U.S.P.G.A. in the negotiations for the international team match at St Andrew's on Sept. Tth. Ed. Dudley He does not compete in as many tournaments as most of the other leading pros., but whenever he tees off he is classed among those to beat' for the. laurels and lucre. In the re- cent U.S. open he tied for the lead at the end of the first and second rounds and was setting the pace after 64 holes, but he broke at the 8th in the final round and finished fifth. He was third .in the Masters' tourney, beh'nd Byron Nelson and Ralph Guldahl. By his fellow pros. he is classed as the most under rated pro. in the big t'me and is long over duc to win a big championship. He is generally in the prize money and if he devoted more time to tournament play and less to club duties, he would be among the biggest money winners of any scason. He first made his appearance in the Canad'an open.in 1930, when he finished ninth and s'nce then he hase placed in the macy four times, sixth in 1931, fourth in 1932, third in 1935, and seventh last year. He is older than most of his rivals, but can be included in the half dozen or so fav- ored to win the Seagram gold cup. tc o>0o so 2900900900009 c 00000 iashes from the Precs | .---August Heat Sets Record TORONTO. -- Weather statistics show that the past month was the most consistently hot August here since 1900, and breaks the all-time heat record set away back in 1841.

Rest Prescribed for Louis DETROIT.--A defence of the heavy- weigit title against Max Schmeling this fall has been announced as defin- itely out of the picture for Joe Louis. A rest of two months, possibly six, was recommended for Louis by phy- sicians who studied X-ray photographs of the hands he injured in defending his title against Tommy Farr in New York. _ "No fracture was disclosed but the X-rays showed badly bruised muscles and tendons around the knuckles of the right hand and slightly less seri- ous bruises on the left.

From all ap- pearances, the date actually has been set, but no German official will say what it is. The chances are the Ital- fan Premier will come after mid- month, following the Nuremberg Zazi party congress, and will accompany Hitler to Northern Germany for the Autumn army manoeuvres, New French Minister to Canada PARIS.--Count Robert de Damp- ferre, recently replaced as minister to Yugoslavia by Raymond Brugere, this week was appointed French Minister to Canada, Brugere's previous post, New Typing Speed Record TORONTO. -- George I. Hossfield, West Englewood, N.J., set a new speed record in winning the international typewriting competition at the Cana- dian National Exhibition. His speed of 139 words a minute for an hour's typing exceeds all former marks for speed under international competition rules. Crace Phelan, Etna, Pa, captured the world's amateur contest with a new world's record of 129 words a minute. Beauests Will Benefit Canadians LONDON, Ont.--The University of Western Ontario and University of To- ronto are two of four public institu- tions to share to the extent of approxi- mately $55,000 in the estate of Sir Charles Edward Saunders, noted scientist and developer of Marquis wheat, : ~The universities' portion will be ap- proximately $16,600, but the payment "will not be made during the life-time of four friends of Sir Charles. Sir Charles left $132,648. After mak- ing a few comparatively small be- quests, his will directs that the bulk of the estate be divided into two equal portions. One of the halves provides a life income for four friends and eventually goes to public institutions; the other half goes to the relatives of the noted one-time Londoner. Three Dead In Train Accident CAPETOWN, South Africa.--Three railway employees were killed and six others seriously injured here when an electric train broke through a wall at the end of the tracks in the station and -plunged over thirty feet into the Administrative Building.

JEAN DE LUZ, Franco-Spanish Frontier. -- Three British merchant ships were bombed and damaged by Spanish war-planes this week off the Asturian port of Gijon on the Biscay Coast, British nounced. The British ships were attacked less than twenty-four hours after Great Britain served a stern warning on the Spanish nationalists that attacks on British shipping must cease immed- jately or the Admiralty would "take such action ag the occasion demands." Prince Nicholas Returns VIIENNA. -- Revolution is reported brewing in Rumania with the return from exile of Prince Nicholas, ban- ished brother of King Carol, to lead ~the Nazi Iron Guard-in-a-coup d'etat which might make him dictator. Diplomats said Nicholas' surprise flight to Bucharest from Italy--ofil- clally denied by King Carol's Govern- ment in fear of an uprising--was en- gineered by the Iron Guard, which has sought since 1933 to drive Carol from the throne because of his extramarital romance with red-headed "Magda Lup- escu, Minister of War C. Angelescu was reported to have resigned and to have been replaced temporarily by Minis- Consular officials an- France Ready For iviobilization France this week achieved the na- tionalization of six' large private rail- road systems, which with two other lines already under control, will form a network providing for mobilization of the entire French army, including six million reserves, within forty- eight hours. The Government has alco bought up munitions plants, airplane factories, and controls the Bank of France, so that in the eventuality of war, general mobilization of the en- tire resources of the country may be brought about in the shortest possible time. h Arms Program More Expensive Under Britain's new rearmament program more than four million dol larg a day are being spent on mili- tary preparedness. Battleships are be- ing built and airplanes turned out by the score. Industry is gradually being mobilized until by the time five years have passed and the program is com- plete, Britain will be what is known as "ready". By comparison, the net cost of the Great War to Britain, dur- ing a period of four years and eight months, is estimated at slightly less than the total amount to be spent dur- ing the five years of rearmament. Some authorities believe that action has come too late, others think (hat war has been pushed back five years by British rearmament. It remains to be seen, New Pact With United Kingdom The new teade agreement made in February between Canada and the United Kingdom went into force this week. By it, British exporters benefit by tariff reductions on 179 items in- cluding textiles, fron and steel, ma- chinery, clectrical goods, ete. Guar antees to Canada on a number of preference margins were made. These "embraced lumber, canned salmon, ap- ples, dairy products, tobacco and pat- ent "leather. Easier trading between the two countries is expected as a re- sult. French-Canadian Ponulation arity Speaking at the Canadian Institute on Economics and Politics, Jean St. Ggrmain, Montreal lawyer, drew atten- tion to the fact that the French-Cana. dian population is likely soon to be on a parity with the Anglo-Saxon in Canada, so rapidly is it growing. Such a population equality, he said, would tend more than anything else to unite both races. Discussing another phase of the M. St. German spoke of the theory that French-Canadians stand today in Canada as the bulwark against subver- sive theories. "An intense individual ist, who will not be drawn into other people's affairs, very conservative, with a love for the land of his fore- fathers, .the French-Canadian is rather apt to be a follower than a pioneer," he said. "Although of French descent, vo have nothing in common with France today, The I'ranch-Canadians are, too, a static-minded people, as oppos- ed to the dynamic thought of the Americans." Canada In Peculiar Position Should Britain choose to withdraw her representative from Japan after the shooting of Ambassador Sir Hughe Knatchbulle-Hugess» n, Canada could be left in a very peculinr position, The Canadian Minister to Japan would in that case be the nearest in line of representation to King George Vi. When asked if the Canadian Minister to Japan would be withdrawn in the event the British Ambassador at Tok- fo were recalled as a result of the present situation, Prime Minister MacKenzie King replied "We will con- sider that when the occasion arises." The Minister is now on vacation in Canada but may leave for his post in Japan next week, . Impasse In Alberta Defying the Federal Government's power to veto, Premier Aberhart of Alberta intends to® put into immediate effect the banking legislation passed at the recent provineial session, He declares that Alberta has investigated and found the Dominion Government at present did not have authority to disallow Provincial legislation. - "Consequently our legislation is still law and will remain law until declared 'ultra vires" by the courts." The Alberta banks are up dn arms over the proposed restrictions to be placed on them and the Boards o Trade in the province are planning to take action. Meantime the Federal Government has not the slightest in- tention of retreating from the position it has taken. If the Alberta Govern- ment fails to publish in the official Gazette the proclamation of Lieuten- ant-Governor Bowen of Alberta to the effect that the invalid Alberta bank- ing legislation has been vetoed by the Pederal Government, the nocessary proclamation over the signatire of the Lieutenant-Governor will be published in the Canada Gazette. -- Makes Motorboat Speed Record LOCARNO, Switzerland.--Sir Mal- colm Campbell, famed British sports- man, has added the world's motor boat speed record to his international- automobile speed standard. The 52-year-old Briton piloted his 23-foot speed boat, Bluebird, over Lake 125.795 miles per hour to eclipse Gar Wood's b-year-old mark of 124.86 m. p. h. Sir Malcolm already holds the world automobile record of 301.33 m, p. h,, set at Bonneville salt flats in Utah in 1935. he Sir Malcolm's aquatic Bluebird -- his record-smashing automobile was called by the same name--was pow- ered by a Rolls Royvee aero engine, and travelled over the measured mile course in smooth and cffortless fash- ion. Ambassador Is Recovering SHANGHAI -- Sir IHughe Knalch- bull-Hugessen, British Ambassador to China, should recover completely in six or seven weeks from the serious wounds inflicted on him by machine- gun bullets from a Japanese plane, Dr. E. M. Gauntlett of London, chief of the physicians attending the envoy, told the North China Daily News, Sir Hughe was able to read the messages of sympathy sent to him and even to answer some of them, it was learned. His condition appeared to be improving steadily.

Plane Kills Farmer STRATHROY. ----- Death rode the wings of a barnstorming plane that came to Bethesda near here to pick up passengers from a' church picnic. On its first trip of the day the plane crashed into the crowd. Twenty-eight. year-old Stewart James Sullivan, local farmer, was struck by the wings, and hurled to the ground with a fatal frae- ture of the skull. His cousin, red Sullivan, aged 35, was caught in the plane's path, and had two ribs broken. As others scrambled madly to safety the plane plunged on for seventy-five feet, teetered and tipped tail up, to rest on its nose. The pilot, Frank Smale, of London, and his lone passenger, 16-year-old Marguerite Brooks, were practically They suffered some shock and minor abrasions, but their safety belts had saved them from serious in- jury.

Collins, Jr, Smithsonian Institution archeologist. By excavating in the remains of one of the oldest known sites of the world's most isolated people at St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, Collins was able to recover many remnants of what is known as the o!d Bering Sea nd The people who lived in Alasla hun. dreds of years before Columbus set foot on the West Indies used ivory from walrus tusks almost as exten- sively as modern folk use steel, Ivory was used for toys, needle cases, han- dles, darts, buttons, awls, ice picks, sledge runners and combs. Even snow goggles which looked like 'niasks for a modern-day party were delicately worked from ivory as an example of the manual dexterity of theso primitive people. Among the toys recovered by Coll ins and his associates on a series of oxpeditions to St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea were a tiny ivory pol ar bear, little kayaks with crude fig. -ures of men which could he placed in the boats, miniature whales fashioned from bark, ivory toy harpoon heads with which the children learned their first lesson in speaving fish and ivory reproductions of what appear to be butterflies. . Liven wrist guards, which protected these early warriors against Arctic animals and fish, were fashioned in ivory with intricate designs. By a careful study of what might well be called the remains of an ivory age, Collins was able to upset one of the prevailing scientific apple-carts, Ho found on the basis of his studies and work by other archaeologists that the Iskimos undoubtedly came from Asia, : "Although we are unable to say just where and when the old Bering Sea culture arose, there can be no doult a3 to the general direction which we must turn in seeking its origin," Coll: ins said. "This is Northern ISurasia, the region in which we find numerous striking parallels to Eskimo culture, and the only region where we find the geographical conditions essential to the establishment of a settled maritime culture based on the hunt- ing of sea mammals." : My previous students of early Eskimo cultures believed that the Hudson Bay region was the cradle of the Eskimo race. "Giving in Marriage" Not Necessary Now TAUNTON, Eng.---Miss Dora Lee, daughter of a Unitarian minister, was not given away when married at her father's chuveh_at Taunton. Her father, the Rev. John Lee, who conducted the ceremony, "It is not legally neccessary for a bride to be given away, and the modern woman doesn't want to be given away. "That part of the ceremony goes back to the time when a woman was rezarded as a chattel, the abso- lute possession of her father and, therefore, 2s one who could be given away by him." Canadian Railways Gain 8 Percent in Earnings OTTAWA--The Dominion Burcau of Statistics reported this week Can- adian railways earned $29,256,948 in May against $27,022,242 in the same month last year, an increase of $2,- 234,705 or 8.3 per cent.
