C. I)- Howe, Minister of Transport, an- nounced this week. "The inception of the trans-atlan- tic and trans-Canadian services has made t necessary that reliable weather re|)orts covering conditions over wide ureas should be available at all times," the Minister said. "Meteorologists are of the opinion that a station at this point will help greiitly in making these reports more coniplete. Port Harrison is roughly half way between Churchill, Man-, i nd the Labrador coast, and will pro- vide a (juick means of communica- tion with the outside world for this par*, of Canada. "This station will be of value as an aid to navigat on in Hudson Pay, and of service to the Department of Mines and Kesourccs; also to the Moi iited Police in connection with the administration of their services. It V ill be e(|uipi)ed with long and sh.iil wave transmitters of the late.t des ),n, providinpr for transmission both by radi()i)h<inc and international Moise code.

Use of Air Mail Strongly Urged OTTAWA. â€" The Department of Trade and Commerce strongly ad- vises Canadian exporters in the case of urgent eorresi)ondence, particu- larly with outlying parts of the world, to take advantage of the air m;iil facilities which are now avail- able from Canada. As illustrating the saving of time that can be af- fected by this means in comparison with non-air routing a table has been prepared show.ng that from Toronto or .Montreal to ISombay, India, tliero is a .saving of eight days by air mail. From Toronto or Montreal to Caj)c- town, .South Africa, an air mail let- ter will go in 17 days, compared with 2.') days by steamer.

Faint Radio Signals Spurs Hunt for Earhart U, S. Destroyers and Aircraft Carrier Race to Scene â€" Exact Lo- cation Hard to Determine, But Cutter Switches Course â€" DoMm Since Friday HONOLULU â€" Six United States warships raced over the Pacific Sun- day night in the greatest sea hunt ever mobilized as faint radio signals, crackling out of the desolate ocean stretches along the Equator, gave al- most certain proof that Amelia Ear- hart and her flying companion, Capt. Fred Noonan, were alive, either adrift or on a reef south of Howland Island. The signals, first contact made with the $80,000 "Flying Laboratory" since it was forced down Friday on a flight from Lae, New Guinea, were received by three powerful radio stations here in response to a broad- ca.st by Station KGMB at Honolulu. Pan American Airways' direction finder picked up the calls at Mokapu Point, and estimated the origin was south of tiny Howland Island. The station said it could not place the location exactly, due to the weaknoss of the signals. - MESSAGES REPORTED Meanwhile from other points came reports, all apparently coinciding, of messages received by voice radio from the missing plane. Naval Operations Headquarters at Washington. D. C, ordered the air- craft carrier Lexington, with between 80 and 90 plane.i aijoard, to proceed fiom >Sr.n Diego, Cal., under fcrc^d draught directly to the Howia;::! In- land area to aid in the search. Four destroyers â€" the Cusliing, Perkins, Lampson and D.'nyton â€" race<l over the Pacific with the Lex- ir^gton to join the battleship Color- a !o, already plowing towards How- land from Honolulu. The Coast Guard cutter Itasca, cruising northwest of Howland in .'â- earch of the plane, changed its course after roceiv'ng reports of the signals picked up by Pan American, and headed across the Equator to- ward a point abcut 200 miles b.'low Howland. A huge naval patrol p'ane was ready to take off from Pearl Harbor if weather reports indicated it could make the l.SOO-mile flight to How- land. .\ navy plane was forc-d to turn back .Sundry. tions both picked up similar signals quite strongly, they reported. The Wailupe station said it got a man's voice. Station KGMB broa'icast about 7 a.m., P.6.T. (11 a.m., E.D.T.), to the Inst plane: "If you hear this signal answer by dashes." At 7.15 a.m. the Makapu .station reported it got a response, but it was so weak the Pan American direction finders were not able to locate its exact position. However, the station estimated it was "southeast of Howland," which for the first time, placed the plane in a location south of the island instead of northwest.

The situation seems to indicate that not only are crops prospects good but that the farmers have sufllcient mon- ey to make the clianges and are will- ing to spend it 1 eeause of the likeli- heod of good returns from this sea- stin's operations. With the haying season well under way the majority of the sales so far have been of machinery for this op- eration and have included everythin.g from new mowing eriiiipment to rope for llie hadin:;: machinery. New trac- tors have also been included in the sales and altlioush it will bo late next month before the harvest will be be- gun, already several farmers have considered the purchase of now bin- ders and other equipment for that op- eration.

Radek is said to have been granted his freedom by the Political Bureau of the Com- munist Party for exposure of mili- tary espionage activities. Since that sensational trial, eight generals have heard the famous "scventy-thrce-hour sentence" pa.ssed upon them by their comrades of the highest military command and â€" there was no appeal. Many political commentators have tried to weight the significance of thess trials. Do they mean the growth of an organized opposition to the personal leadership of Stalin? Do they represent the activities of a foreign power? Are they actually connected with that famous and mo.st unwanted man in the world, Trot- sky ? No one seems to know the answer but there is a great dtal of guessing being done. Walter Duranty, for many years special correspondent for the New York Times in Russia, thinks the re- cent trials may be one indication of an increasing desire en the part of the Russian masses for a bourgos democracy. Quite conceivably Trot- sky may have had something; to do v/ith the turn of events. It is well known that hs is eating his heart out in exile. But whether or not ho was the rr.a'nspring, Trotsky forms the focal point for all forms of op- position to the existing regime. Many regard the wholesale triais on all charges as a government exhibition which serves the double purpose of ridding it of uncomfortable oppon- ents while impressing the masses with its power. Radek's part may well have boon that of a great actor playing, as he thought, for the good of his country. A Torpedo Siai-ted It Diplomats have long ears when it suits their purpose. Last week, the officer of the German cruiser Leip- zig thought they heard the passage of a torpedo near the ship. The Carman Govcrnm:'nt promptly" as- sumed that the ship had been attack- ed by Loyalist forces, withdrew from the Non-intervention patrol, though still remaining a member of the com- mittee and announced that nothing short of a rebel victory would be satisfactory. Now all th's action seems rather drastic to be occasioned by seme body passing swiftl.' through the water in the neighborhood of a warship. Chancellor Hitler made it clear why Germany was taking such action. It was at a gathering of 1^0,000 Bavarian Nazis. The real reason was not the Leipzig- incident, but German cup'dity for the iron ores of Bilbao. The mines in this region are little damaged and Franco is said to bo putting them into oper- ation again a.^ sv/iftiy as possible. That Franco may now hold a trump card in his hand.^ is indicated by Brita'n's need of the same Bilbao ore as the essential raw material for most of her tremendous rearmament project. 18 Yeaij After And as Europe struggii."d vainly on the verge of a second v.orld war and as a British Prime Minister ad- dressed an appeal to the dictators of Europe for "cool h ads and calm judgment," there were those who re- called the signing of a treaty whos • eighteenth anniversary was cjlebrat- eil last week. There isn't mach left of that famous treaty signed at Ver- sailles. Germany has regained her national independence in every res- pect. There only remains a matter of 1,803,879 miies of territory in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands and about 17,000000 pcople who should be Germans but for the signing of the troublesonie treaty. Both ct these Chancellor Hitler swears he will regain. Just how long it will l»o before he has sufficient strength to make his bluff a reality, no one rightly knows. Anglo-American Friendship And while the dogs of Europe strain to reach imaginary throats across international boundaries, the great English speaking countries of tho world tried to reach some form of common economic ground. The Anglo-American Treaty seen as a possible outgrowth of the Imperial Conference is said to be progressing to a point where definite action may bo expected before the end of the year. Canada, while affected through possible concessions on lumber and fruits is hoping for a new deal on American-Canadian reciprocity. New Zealand and .Australia think of the political angle with eyes aslant at Japan and the necessity of a good friend in time of need. South Africa is favorable to a nat'on which is her best gold customer. And so the bar- gaining goes on between nations evea,. as between you and me. * Mystic Power '^ The United States is said to be tjie' richest nation in the world today. It, is the only country which could de- velop swiftly by encouraging the* digging of precious metals from the- ground in the days of the last cen- tury only to reserve the policy by putting the metal back into the* ground in the recovery days of 1937, • When brokers talk of gold stabiliza- ation and sterilization, they refer to ' that quaint habit of the national'- miser â€" filling a hole in the ground at â- . Fort Knox with gold bars. Back in '49 the digging of gold set the world'' on its feet; will the opposite policy • succeed today ? Roosevelt and his Secretary of State, Cordell Hull, are hoping so. Only a rich nation could afford a.. national debt such as that possessed by the United States. Present'"' figures stand at $30,000,000,000, a ' • trifling matter of $1,300,000,000 i above the Presidential estimate in ' January. Empioyns^iit Index And here is a big Canadian figure that is going to please a lot of people. Canadian employment figures- for June are higher than they have been at any time since 1930; 10,178 employers report payrolls aggregat-" ing 1,087,735 or an increase of i" 5' per cent over the same period lait year. The stock market may be flat, there may be international jitters; but there are a good many more pay cheques going home on Saturda;' night and that means something ^,p the man on the street.
