NEWS PARADE Commentary on the : : HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEKS NEWS -.- | by Peter Randal | Large-Scale Irrigation Impossible | To all thinking Canadians the crop situation in the West is a matter of considerable concern, but to the far- mers of the drought-stricken areas who for the past tem years have suf- fered one failure after another and have séen their land swallowed up in dust, it spells financial disaster and personal tragedy. But still they dream. that Southern Saskatchewan may once more become one of thr great wheat- producing areas of the world. Since nature appears unwilling to co-oper- ate, irrigation 1s talked of as the po- tential saviour of western farm lands. Already there are many schemes un- der advisement or {in actual opera- tion, the biggest of which is on the Frenchman River in the south-west corner of Saskatchewan, but . these will supply only small areas, It is now coming to be believed that any- thing but small local projects is out of the question. There is not enough water. - There are no large lakes, and with the exception of the South Sas. katchewan, no rivers of any size. An authority on irrigation says that to talk of watering the whole south--an area 400 miles wide by several hun- dred miles north and south--is to talk of the impossible. Even the topo- graphy of the country is-against thet scheme since water of necessity would flow the other way, towards Alberta.

A series of "purges" in Soviet Rus- sla" having swept away to an {inglor- ious death some of the ablest men in the country, those leaders who are left shiver in a state of mortal fear lest they be next. Influential French newspapers claim that Maxim Litvin- off, Commissar of Foreign Affairs, will be an early victim*and that his arrest will follow that of Admiral Or- loff, Commander of the Soviet Fleet who attended the Coronation in Lon- don with Litvinoff. Marshall Blucher who commanded the Russian forces in the. Far East is expected to meet a similar fate,. According tq Le Jour (Paris), Stalin intended to include Litvinoff in his last purge but feared the reaction on France and other foreign powers,with whom the Foreign Affairs Comissar had enjoyed good relations. China on a War Basis For the first time ik Chinese his- tory the financial and economic re- sources of the nation have been placed under the personal control of the Generalissimo. as Chief of the Government and the Army, and the entire: country made subservient to the needs cf the military. China is on' a war basis. Central Government div- isions, resisting Japanese aggression northwest of Peiping, have been or- dered "to fight to the death." The war is well started and nobody, least of all the two belligerents, seems to be able to do anything to check hostil- ities. .

Billboards Highway Advertising Scored for Wding the Landscape Slowly but cumulatively evidence piles up that the billboard along the highways has about seen its day. The latest indication comes from Kansas, where a concerted drive has been in- augurated to enforce the law prohib- iting signs other than road markers on: the rights of way of highways, This form of advertising was not regarded as objectionable when there were but few, but when almost{ entire systems of highways wer fenced in with huge 'signs of all sorts, obscuring the view of the fields, the hills and the valleys, then the popu- lace arose as one man to denounce the invasion which deprived them of a sight of the beauties of nature. Elsewhere throughout the United States the fight against the billboards is being steadily waged. Each: season gees an inerease in the number of per- sons determined that the roads shall be kept free from unsightly obstruc- tions. Women's clubs, garden clubs, civic organizations of all sorts are quietly proceeding with the work of public education. "The outcome is fu- evitable as every motorist in time bes comes an opponent of billboards. The advertisers cannot continue to' profit from the use of a medium which is obnoxious to the very people to whom it is designed to appeal. Along the Ontario highways fc ia unlawful to place these monstrosities close to the roads, but there are ways of persuading the farmers, With a lib. -|-eral supply-of money, for tha privilege Would Banish : of placing them-far-back-in-theflelds, with letters so big that they are cap- able of being read a mile away.
