In the World slugs Says Engineering Pro €3sor, : Canada has the most skillful metal- lurgical engineers in the world, ac- cording to Professor H, E. T. Haul- tain, Professor of Mining Engineer- ing in the University of Toronto, who spoke fo the Royal Canadian Insti- tute in Convocation Hall last-week. "Although we have the most com- plicated ores, we have not had to go outside for help in solving our prob- lenis; on the contrary, other countries are coming to us," stated the speaker. $80,0000,000 A Year in Gold Most of the gold in Ontario mines, producing $80,000,000 a year, occurs in particles so small that it requires a microscope to see them. In some cases'it takes a million of these par- ticles to ma"e a cent's worth of gold. To recover these tiny particles forty thousand tons of rock are ground as fine as talcum powder each day in Ontario's gold camrs. The process by which the gold is extracted from this fine dust are constantly being improved - by research, Professor Haultain stated that as a result of recent stndies here, one mine is in- stalling a mill for recovering half a million dollars annually "from ma- terial previously unprofitable to treat. Although little profit will re- sult, it will provide employment for many men, Engineer's Widening Influence The most significant development in. Canadian mining, in the opinion of the speaker, is the widening influ- ence of the engineer. In ever-in- creasing numbers engineers are filling important positions from mine super- intendents to presidents. The per- sistent honesty with which these men into their rew fields with resulting benefits to the public, to labor anl to all concerned. .

BOOST FOR CANADA: "A fort- night's holiday on the east coast of Canada would give better value 'for the money spent. than a month in many overcrowded Continental re- sorts". Thus spoke the Duke of Gloun- cester to a Canada Club dinner last week in London, adding the 'hope that he and the Duchess might be able to come here in the near future, If the Duke had no real intention of sojourning in Canada, and made the remark merely to seem pleasant and agreeable, he will now be put rather on the spot, poor chap, At any rate his statement is a good advertise- ment for Canada, as a holiday re- sort, i i - LEE L * SHOWMANSHIP: A writer in the Toronto Financial Post leads a time- ly discussion of Canada's sad lack of "showmanship". The fifth largest trading nation of the world has fall- en down badly, he says. in national advertisement. The exposition is sug- gested as a good medium. At the Pars show this year, our exhibits lacked the punch and glamor of mod- ern showmanship, -- they "missed the boat", seemed dull and old-fashioned among more clever contemporaries. They overplayed the Indian, the trap- per and the things of yesteryear when they should have told of our of the future. Canada will have oth- er chances. however, at the Glasgow Exhib'tion in 1988 and the New York World's Fair the following year. Ex- hibits at these, the Post says, should be designed to represent present-day life in Canada. should - assist export- ers in the sale of goods, induce tour- ists: to visit our country: May the Government lend an attentive ear to these censtructive suggestions! » LJ LJ FIASCO: Nobody really expected anything to come of the Brussels Nne-Power Conference canvoked to settle the Sino-Japanese question. How complete a' fizzle it turned out to be. however, is realized only when one learns that its sole accomplish- ment was ithe productfon of "A Re- port" -- not a report on anything, just "A Report". It's the old fable once again 'of 'the mountain "giving birth to a mouse, Even "A Report" was the result of heated wrangling, the American Ambassador fighting vainly to have it entitled, "A Repdrt to the Governments Here Repre- sented." ; Not addressed to anyone, "A Re- port" covers twelve typewritten pag- es with an. historical summary in which Japan-and-China are pictured: as entangled in difficulties 'such that solution can be achieved only by the co-operation: of all countries interested in the Far East". "A Re- port" has indeed told us something, present development and the promise a ---- QUESTION MARK: Claiming' that the whole future "is a gigantic ques- tion mark", Lammat du Pont, Pres- ident of E, I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., one of the wealthiest concerns in the United States, has proposed to his fellow manufacturers in all fields that a huge $25.000,000,000 program be instituted to create 8, 000,000 new jobs, lend new expansion to industry. Before such a scheme can be launched. he said, the Govern- ment will -have to dispel the fog en: shrouding business and guarantee a reasonable amount of certainty upon which it can count in planning cur- rent and future operations. Further, "New jobs, new wealth and agricul- tural prosperity could be produced only through planned research, plan- ned development and planned expan- sion of plant, sales and administra. tion facilitics. That meant, he said, "planned expenditure of capital 'months and years in advance of any penny of return." Mr, du Pont is now offering of his own free will to endorse that which President Roosevelt has all along been trying to induce big indus- try to do, The outcome may be that if Mr." Roosevelt 'turns down his offer, Mr, du Pont will be able to blame the New Deal for any further recession in business. * * * of h's continual talking and cam- paigning for colonies, Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler last week admitted that he didn't expect to have German de- mands answered for "another six years at least. Hitler is right in this, that for the present Britain and' France are not ready (intimidated though they be) to rush forward and offer to make a gift of certain sections of their territories to Germany. Say Britain and France: "Germany's col- onial demands require 'much more extended study'." Lf Ld HOW MUCH TO EAT: 'A natlon- wide nutrit'on survey is soon to be made with the purpose of discovering what the food requ'rements ure of the various stages of human ievcloy- ment; what the Canadian working- man's requirements are and what re- sources are available to supply them. The data will be;gathered hy the 25 (approximately) members of the new ational Council on Nutrition who will pick out '50 typical families across the Dominion and make an intensive study of their diet down to the last detail. Something very im- 'portant will have been' achigved when" it is found out exactly. how much each person necds as food.

For. 20 minutes, Jack McKibbon, Mono Township timber-cutter, re- turned stare for! stare with a big shaggy wolf, then the wolf "turned and 'walked away."

He warned those present that there whom are drilling for aesthetic pur- poses, lining the banks of the St. Lawrence 'in the Eastern Province. Is Democracy Worth Saving? Continuing his talk on fascism, a challenge to democracy in: the mod- ern world, the speaker warned his audience to find out what this move-: ment really stands for. "Whether the democracy we have in Canada is worth saving or not, I do not know," he-said. "It takes our form of government so long. to make. up its mind that anything could happen to us; Our own Prime Minister assured us we would not 80° to. war without a plebiscite. It would take far too long. The Government. leaders should act and be willing to take the responsibility and pay the price. of their mistakes, I believe we cin salvage democracy if we elect people who are willing 'to exerefse commen sense, We must train our children in the schools. the meamng of democracy and fascism." Lack of Fundamental Policies Mr, Silcox condemned the political system in this Province and this coun- and said that it was simply two groups fighting for power.
