They 'were Harold Gatty and Wiley Post, who had just completed on the previous day a flight around the world in less than nine days. Technically speaking, they did not fly 'around the world, but rather made a trip around part of the northern hemisphere, "but in the terms which have become accept- sed in flights of this type, they have achiev- ted something remarkable. In less than nine days they have crossed the Atlantic from New York to England, have called at Ber- Hin, Moscow, traversed the wilds of Siberia, derossed the desolate Behring Sea to Alaska, nd have flown across Canada and the # United States to their starting point at "New York. This achievement shatters all evious records for flights of this kind, A "and overshadows the trip which the Graf #Zepplin made over roughly the same dis- tance, and which took nearly twice as long. heir feat called for endurance stamina 7and skill of the highest order, and being | possessed of these things, they accomplish- ¥ ed it. Even Lindbergh has done nothing like it, so we can expect that these two new heroes of the air will become national figures in their native country, and men whose names will go down on the roll of fame of aviators who have been successful pioneers in doing unusual things. A LOSS TO THE PRESS OF CANADA Newspapermen throughout Canada were . shocked to learn of the tragic death on k I | Dominion Day of Harold Raine, general superintendent of The Canadian Press, who lost his life in an aeroplane crash at Hamil- "gon. "To these who knew him intimately, 4and we had that privilege, there was a deep sense of personal loss. It was as if a | member of an inner family circle had been . gentlemen. Quiet and unassumin cut off suddenly, and after all, he was a member of that family circle of newspaper- men comprising The Canadian Press. Harold Raine was one of nature's own g, yet with a genial nature which made him friends wherever he went, he had, withal, a _ ~ forceful personality which enabled him; at | '| an early age, to force his ability to the at- | | tention of his superiors. As a newspaper man, he had made remarkable progress, but 'that was warranted by the efficiently he as in the various tasks which were imopsed on him,at Winnipeg, in New York, © and in his office of even greater responsib- lity at Toronto. It was no secret that he 'was looked upon as the logical successor to F. B. Livesay when the Istter chose to from his position of general manag- ; ver of The Canadian Press, so that the great news-gathering association of Canadian newspapers has lost one of its valued ex- -ecutives. : Mr. Raine will be missed in the guidance of The Canadian Press. He will be missed y all of us who have come to look forward 0 his periodical visits to newspaper offices, yand fo meet him at the various assoication neetings from time to time. To his young wife and daughter will go out a wave of "sympathy from every daily newspaper in Can da, for he was a man to be admired and esteemed, and even those outside the mediate family circle can well under- Ad the stunning sense of loss which must fe] ig own home, and in the home of 7 : % . bh » BOOSTING A CANADIAN PRODUCT | mperial Tobacco Company is at the conducting a rather unusual sign of advertising, one which tends how the extent to which the - has progressed in this ry, and also, one which lays great ss on the fact that the company is seek- fo find a greater market for the Cana. product.

' ' We commend these advertisements be- cause of the fact that they represent a de- cided effort to popularize a Canadian pro- duct of the soil, a product which will, as the market for it widens, become a very strong factor in the wealth and prosperity of those sections of 'Ontario where it is grown. A CHANCE FOR HOME MAGAZINES Many Canadians will realize shortly that we are less dependent on the United States, for good magazines than they thought we were," says the St. Marys Journal Argus which adds: and with the larger oppor- tunities afforded to Canadian publications through the recent import upon American periodicals, Canadian magazines will no doubt measure up to even a higher stan- dard. We need to keep in touch with cer- tain Canadian subjects which are not dealt with inU. 8. publications. For instance the romantic story of Canada's present day de- velopment and kindred subjects find a large place in such worth-while magazines as Maclean's and Canadian Georgraphical Journal and others that might be mention- ed: We should profit by learning to know Caliada better by reading Canadian publi- cations." EDITORIAL NOTES It's no easy task to sit here pounding out editorials in this sweltering heat. But we know you all feel just the same about your own jobs, so we won't worry you about how we feel. : There was no celebration here on Domins ion Day, but then, no one felt very much like celebrating. This marks the beginning of the fourth month during which subway work has been at a standstill. At one time we had hoped it would be ready for traffic by now. If this kind of weather continues until the 12th, it will be a hot walk for the Orangemen. Negro conventions, demanding that an anti-lynching law be passed in the United States, are to be held. It is regrettable that such a law should be necessary in a sup- posedly civilized country. In Canada, the law concerning murder would be sufficient. It is unfortunate that the holiday was marred locally by two fatal accidents, in both of which the victims were boys. Hap- pennings. of that kind seem more tragic when they come close to home. The Legion provincial convention here in August should help business in Oshawa at that time. Between five and six hundred convention delegates can spend quite a lot of money in a community in four or five days. - Demands for moratoriums are filling the air these days. Windsor is asking the On- tario government to declare a moratorium . on mortgages and land contracts for one year, and the Legion in Toronto is askimy for a moratorium against seizure of their homes and property by bailiffs. Hoover apparently has started something, BITS OF HUMOR | FIVE LITTLE ERRORS A man struck a match to see if the gasoline tank in his car was empty, It wasn't.

Coursing its way since last Monday through a batch of more than 70 resolutions dealing with various phases of the work of the organization, the convention has received and disposed of practi- cally all of the memorials placed in.the hands of the resolutions committee, Transcending the major issues of yesterday's session was an ad- dress from President D, W. Mor- rison, during which he reviewed his experiences and observations gained during his trip to the Gen- eva Labor Conference last sum- mer.

They will arrive at Holyrood Palace on Saturday, and attend St, Giles Cathedral on Sunday. Motor tours will take up two days, Their Majesties probably visiting Abbotsford and the Scott County generally. All Scotland is vastly inter- ested in the .afternoon drawing room which Their Majesties will held at. Holyrood next Wednes- day, Several hundred presenta- tions will be made and the event is considered equal in social bril- liance to a court at Buckingham Palace. On the following day a garden purty takes place at Holyrood. Scotland is receiving exceptional attention just now at Royal hands, for only last week the Prince of Wales made a series of visits. Probably this was in part responsible that notwithstanding restrictions on cattle shipments as the result of outbreaks of hoof and mouth disease, which stands till the order of the Mint- stry of Agriculture is revoked, the attendance at the centenary of the Highland Show at Edin- burgh was the highest in nine years, more than 76,000 paying their admission. Colorado Convicts to Receive Paddling Denver, Colo., July 3.-- The ancient and humiliating custom of padding was revived at the Colorado State Penitentiary re- cently by officials who have be- come desperate with the increas- ing spirit of rebellion among con- victs. Three convicts who recentlv es- caped were recaptured and re- turned to the prison after at- tempting to murder two guards, were to be 'spanked until duly sore and red," and then placed in solitary confinement. The "spanking machine" was described by Tom Tynan, former Canon City prison warden under whose regime it became so notor- icus as to cause his removal as warden. The machine wooden frame or "horse" over which the vietim {is strapped. His body is exposed and a guard whips him with a large plank peddle Tynan said the punishment was more humiliating than injurious. consists of a BRITAIN WILL TOP ARMAMENT LT Premier's Figures Shock to British Public and Limit of Reduction Reached London, July 8. -- Premier Ramsay MacDonald's speech in the House of Commons recently, calling on the nations of the world to co-operate at the 1932 disarmament conference was roundly applauded in the press. Referring to the Covenant of the League of Nations in an edi- torial headlined 'Safety Point," the Laborite Herald said: "Twelve years have passed since it was signed. Is there a single power today--other than those under compulsion--that has genuinely complied with that requirement?" The Post was of the opinion it would be optimistic to helleve that the disarmament eonference would yield any drastic resuits and said that little had been achieved from the 'long lahori- ous conferences and discussiens in which the nations have been immersed for years past." Drifted From Aims In that time the. wor'd has been carried away from, rather than toward, the desired object- ive, the paper said, "for as the Premier proved with a convincing array of figures, the tide of arma- ments, so far, from receding dur- ing all these conferences, has steadily swollen." The Times declared that there are many in Great Britain who believed that the successive Brit- ish Governments already had 70 JYFOUNDLAND HOMORILM AI j Predicts Greater int and Fisheries 'roduction ) Sq July 3.--The news- gg fisheries industries of gand will produce a gtput this year than in pg mining, hard hit by gdepression, will be giv- ed impetus by the Hoo- al for one year's mora- A war debt payments. ls opinion of Sir Richard Sdilives, Time Minister of the is- a ePY., Who arrived here ? ptreal and New York, y has bean in negotiation gocial interests relative to g of Newfoundland's fi- dal Dligations. . yith regard to finances, Sir ould add nothing to his pri Ne gTr4 19 th en to) V been over-zealous in the reduc- tion of armaments and "when economies had to be made, have | toc readily assumed that the strength and efficiency df the navy and the army ought to be | ong tm financing. the first to suffer.

We have great hope that President Hoover's pro- posed moratium will restore that country's purchasing power to an extent that will indirectly work a benefit to Bell Island." Beyond expressing firm confid- euce in Newfoundland's financial and Industrial soundness, Sir Richard had nothing to say with regard to various rumors that have trickled out of the "Oldest Colony" since the present loan negotiations were gommended. ---------------------- Are Canning Peas Picton. --The first peas of the sea- son were put through at the Old Homestead factory to begin opera- tions this week.
