He was well dressed, his trousers neatly pressed, his shirt clean, his shoes shined. He carried a bundle rolled up in neWpaper.

There has been recently placed on exhibition in the library of a Buenos Aires newspaper a giant relief map of Argentina, just completed after 26 years of work by Pablo Fonticalli, an Italian who emigrated to Argentina as a lad. Eight years were consumed in the preliminary work of laying out the map and 12 years were spent in explor- ation and study to revise it and make it accurate in every detail. The map is on a scale of l ‘0 500,000 and is 24 feet by 12 and is complete mythc most minute particulars. The maker of the “That reminds me, there is a, drip- ping faucet in the kitchen.

He had a bride of a year, and didnt’ intend to accept char- ity. So when there were no openings in his line he decided to put to use the ability to handle 066 10% which his father had taught him when he was a schoolboy. He had been working for seven months and averaged enough to keep his family comfortable. The overalls were on in a wry, auu the wrench out. In five minutes the fau- cet was repaired. The woman of the house by this time had decided that it lgvuw' was as good a time as any to have the kitchen brass polished, and it took him almost an hour. The charge was fifty cents an hour, he explained, while he was actually on the job. He left his telephone number and offered to come on call.

There was much criticism in the House of Commons because the salar- ies of the classes named were not cut, which found sympathy in the country. It is encouraging to those who believe in the influence of public opinion to notice that a special bill was introduced to the House of Commons this week, adding an additional ten per cent. in- come tax on the salaries of Judges, ar- my, navy and mounted police oflicers. The Lieutenant Governors, being repre- sentatives of the King, were exempt. The bill simply meant that the Gov- ernment changed its mind but wasn’t quite ready to admit it. The new move is possibly the best thing that could have happened; we have started some- ting.

Organized agriculture and experts in marketing were all in favor of it, he said. Mr. Spotton praised Mr. J. J.

Mr. Spotton exhibited real courage in the criticism he offered of the Canada Packers, the amalgamation of what used to be Gunn’s Limited. the Harris; Abattoir, William Davies Company and the Canadian Packers. “There is prac- tically no competition on the livestock market and the farmer has to sell his hogs and cattle to this combine at their own price. The farmers throughout the province of Ontario, and I believe justly, feel if ever there was an octopus. a devil fish with elongated arms squeez- ing the life out to the farmer of the province of Ontario, it is the Canada Packers of Toronto. And you can write around the head of that devil fish the name of MacLean, if you wish. ” “First of all,” said the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, ‘this country must be assured of complete Canadian control of brow- casting sources, free from foreign inter- ference or influence. Without such con- trol radio broadcasting can never be- come a great agency for the communi- cation of matters of national concern Other excellent speeches were made on agriculture. Mr. E. J. Garland, U.F.A. member for Bow River, Alberta, pointed out that agriculture is the largest single contributor to our financial. commercial and industrial prosperity; yet rural population is steadily declining and farming today is regarded as one of the most hazardous of occupations. The value of farm lands in all Canada has declined in the last three years by $9 bringing this condition about and all those who are interested in seeing the question of exchange. On the presenting of the Radio Reâ€" port. the Prime Minister made a note- worthy speech some extracts from which follow: In my Opinion we should at once bring Canadian money to a parity with the pound and so increase the price of all farm pxoducts by eighteen percent. There would be no difficulty at all in which is dollar. Is it any wonder that there is a busi- ness depression in Canada with the purchasing power of the farmer so drastically reduced? Until purchasing power is put in the farmers’ pockets and kept there, there will be no return to prosperity in Canada. We are an ex- porting country; the price which our farm products bring in the British mar- ket sets the home price as well and since the British pound sterling does not bring as much in Canadian money as it would if we were on a parity with the pound, we lose the difference an acre. The value of the wheat crop of 1928 was in dollar value worth 202 million dollars more than the wheat am of 1931. Mr. Coote, Speaking the same day, showed that the total value of all field cr0ps in Canada in 1928 when measured in dollar values, was worth 700 million dollars more than the total field crop of 1931.

In this stage of our natlonal development we have problems pecullar to ourselves and we must reach a solution of them through te employment of all available means. The radio has place in the solu- tion of all those problems. It becomes, then. the duty of parllament to sale- guard it in such a way that ln its full- est benefits may be assured to the peo- ple as a whole. “Secondly, no other scheme than that of public ownership can ensiire to the peOple of this country, without regard to class or place, equal enjoyment of the benefits and pleasures of radio broadcasting. Private ownership must necessarily discriminate between dense- ly and sparsely pOpulated areas. This is not a correctable fault in private ownership; it is an inescapable and in- herent demerit of that system. It does not seem right that in Canada the towns should be preferred to the coun- tryside or the prosperous communities to those less fortunate. In fact, if no other course were possible, it might be fair to suggest that it should be the other way about. Happily, however. un- der this system, there is no need for discrimination; all will be served alike. Equality of service is assured by the plan which calls for a chain of high power stations throughout Canada. and the particular requirements of any community may be met by the instal- lation of low power stations by means of which local broadcasting service may be obtained. “The use of the air, or the air it- self whatever you may please to call it,” continued the Prime Minister, “that lies over the land of Canada is a na- tural resource over which we have com- plete jurisdiction under the recent de- cision of the Privy Council. I believe that there is no government in Canada that does not regret today that it has parted with some of these natural re- sources for consideration wholly inad- equate and on terms that do not re- flect the principle under which the crown holds the natural resources in trust for the people. In view of these circumstances and of the further fact that broadcasting is a science that is only yet in its infancy and about which we know little. I cannot think that any government would be warranted in leaving the air to private exploitation and not reserving it for development for the maple.” .
