This frame of mind, where scientific miracles are concerned, is typical of the age. Peo- ple are so used to everything happen- ing with a_rush in these days that they have no patience to wait on painstaking pioneer research. The television experts .are fairly certain, however, that we shall see a practical boom in television next vear, and I am told that manufac- turers are already making their plans accordingly. We--cannot have private television in operation, how- ever until next summer at earliest, by which time the Southern broad- casts on private sete from-the Alex- andra Palace. ' Before next Christmas, on the other hand, we shall probably have television pictures broadcast to West End cinema screens.

"The majority of these vouths have been guilty of crimes of acquisitiveness, theft, burglary, housebfeaking and embezzlement. "A relatively large number have been implicated in ~~ imes in which lethal weapons played a part. Ap- proximately 75 per cent... of these youths had = 'convictions recorded against them prior to being sentenc- ed to a penitentiary.

The building has 114 cells, the largest in any Ca- nadian penitentiary; the cells three floors, with 19 cells to a range the cells. THis enables classification of the young convicts into groups, each group having its own corridor for training purposes. The "seven young convicts in Col- lin's Bay are near the' expiration -of their sentences so the new system is not being applied to them. - The youngsters confined under the Borstal system.in England, General Ormond reports, are 99 per cent. British stock, and foreign-born lads are not confined in Borstals, "The consensus of Borstal officers _|{ who have a knowledge of the con- dition in Canada was to the effect that 'the Canadian youth is precocious and more sophisticated than the lad of the same years in England,' " says the report, The routine under the new system in Canada has been set as follows: G6 am; opening bell.

Although Canada ranks fifth among'& the trading nations-ef the world, her army is smaller than that of little Siam, while her navy would be infer- jor to that of Switzerland, if Switzer- Jund had a navy. : ' Canadian governments refuse in peace-time to" accumulate war machin- ery and munitions, and there are. public men ahd others who argue . that Canada 4s having a sufiiciently difficult time to- finance the peace without undertaking to finance an. . ther war, Ry i Proposed expenditures on natjonal defense this year total $11,252,001, or, roughly, $1 for each persdn in Canada. This compares with Britain's Billion- and-a-half-dollar appropriation for in- crease in armaments alone, or, rough- ly, $30 for each person in the United Kingdom, over a three-year period. Attitude of Canadian governments -- no warlike intentions, 'is the last coun- try in the world to rattle the sabre, "People Oppose - War Political leaders are convinced the majority --of- the. people are opposed to war, if they are not actually op-. : posed to_ preparedness for war.

Civil Aviation Stressed Provision' for 1,750 British aircraft for home defense involves an increase of approximately 1,150 heavy bombers and fighting. planes. Canada plang no ambitious program of this kind. The total Canadian appropriation for aviation this year is $3,000,000, and much of that is for civil aviation. Nor is there in Canada any definite plan for the correlation of industry to defense; though commercial pro- duction could be rapidly changed to war production should the need arise, as it did 20 years ago. Starting from scratch in 1914, Canada made her- self a fighting power to be reckoned with. Were war to come again, and she took part, she would have to scrap much of her obsolete equipment and train her manpower, according to military experts. - GN U.S. Agriculture Budget Slashed WASHINGTON--An Agricultural Department supply bill carrying ap- - Ey J ing budget estimates by $28,625,857 -- was reported to'the Hotise by the ap- pr~-riations committee. * The measure ignored a request by Chief Forestes F.
