If Can- | ada is to hold her own she must do ore along the lines of research and {the training of the brains of her youth, the best to be had. So argued H. M. Tory, DS¢., LL.D., F.R.S.C. of Edmonton, chairman of the hon- orary advisory council for Scientific and Industrial Research for Canada, in addressing a joint banquet of the Kiwanis, Rotary, Canadian Clubs, City Council and Board of Trade in the Frontenac hotel Monday even- Ing. Though he classed himself with the long haired, un-practical profes- sorial recluses, few speakers have roused the Kiwandans and their B39 | guests to greater enthusiasm. i Dr. Tory's story' of scientific pro- I | ress was interesting and as wond- ll | erful as a fairy tale. Somewhere, in || an attic perhaps, an idea is born i the mind of a maw, which grows and grows till it turns world affairs up- side down.

Last year Manitoba and South Saskatchewan lost 50 million dollars through wheat rust. At the same time the Government had one man working part of his time on a solution of the problem. Dr. Tory 6aid he would give a gold medal to the man who can show a better ex- ample of human stupidity. This must be changed. Canada has the brains within its own borders and they must be freed for 'such work. Since the war, nations have realized the importance of this work and the nation that is going to lead is going to lead through knowledge. Last year United States spent fif- teen million-dollars on research. In Alberts, Dr. tion had resulted in an anpual grant by the Government of $60,000. Can- ada's wealthy men should follow tne example of Rockefeiler, whose 100 million dollar gift for the advance- ment of medical science has not been surpassed as a single gift to the &0od of humanity. Canada must at- tack this, problem herself. It was to talk as a fool to rate on citizenship and say '"'Let George co it." Canada did not even have a scientific re- search publication. She must find means of educating her youth, she must prevent the immigration of her best brains to other countries. Kiwanian Allan Meiklejohn, a Queen's graduate and Trustee, who has been transferred from Montreal to the Kingston Club, moved the vote of thanks, which was seconded by Ki- wanian Dr. Austin.
