o Lead ns of Wor‘ld f War aACts We M z1t0r [a # ned ac & ®# N N Jy the . of m d 1 de it re to xanctgemnegrer Economically the Dominion was at the parting of the ways. She migl\!! abandon an enormous capital inves*â€", ment, cut down her production and resign herself â€"toâ€" mediocrity as an inferior power; or she might maintain that economic structure and compete‘ for the export marke‘s of the world. The Dominion chose the second. ceurse, pursued it courageously and' successfully, and now seems to have its goal clearly in sight. This pnovâ€",; omenal economic development may be traced to four basic causes: her vast natural resoarces, the sturdy pronser spirit of hér people, the trem>.lous technological progress of recent years and the protective:tariff .poliey pracâ€" ticed by both political parties. 1 Th United States and Great Bri tain poured into Canada in that half decade more than two billion dollars and built up a skelecon economic strucâ€" ture (for the production of necessities of war) whose potential output was many times the requirements of her eight millions of people. . When the war ended the Eurorean market was once more supplied by its own proâ€" ducers, and Canada was left with this great potential production of manuâ€" factures, for which it could find no consumers. To the war, despite its cost in men and money may be attributed the creâ€" ation of the Canadian nation as weo know it today. Each of the five years of war cost the Dominion an average of $300,000,000 and 30,000 men, yet we are justified in declaring that Cansia found herself, spiritually and econâ€" omically, during those years. She emerged from the conflict with her population welded by common sac«iâ€" fice into a compact and loyal people, essentially Canadian in spirit. By W. W. McLaren, Professor of Economics at Williams College, in Collaboration with J. J. Gibson. Though still nominally a constituâ€" tional dependency, the Dominion of Canada during the past decace has achieved political and economic indeâ€" pendence. She has taken her place among the select few of the moneyâ€" lending nations of the world. Between 1921 and 1928, Canada produced wea‘lth at a rate which permitted the net export of approximately $800,000,â€" 000. Especially significant is the fact that her secondary production, which consists largely of manufactures, has more than kept pace with her primary production, which is divided between agricuiture, forestry and mining. Canâ€" ada has been for many years one of the important primary producers of the world; the recent temendous inâ€" crease in the value of her manufacâ€" tures has raised her from obscurity in 1914 to fifth place, in 1928, among the manufacturing nations. Tke above paragraph was taken from an English newspaper puolished in Fobruary and wovldâ€"seem to indiâ€" cate chat there a~* greater difficuities i the Old Country than we in Canada appreciate: However, we know that the Scouts will do tneir best to help lighten the burden, and in this matter the Lone Scouts can help considerably rig‘t here in Onturio. "Lone E" was visited a few Jays ago by a business mau from Vienna, Austria, who in the course of conyâ€"râ€" sation, stated that after a tour of the United States and Canada he found that the most advertised word on this side of the Atlantic is "Depression." As far as Canada is concerned, at any rate, this should not be as at this .ime Canadiar business people have an opâ€" portunity at their singer tips which is occaâ€"ion of the Grext War to sender help behind the scenes, and the presâ€" eut move to service, as the Prince of Wales had said, was not meant to be a mere flash in the psa, but an underâ€" taking "for the dursmion" of the naâ€" tion‘s trouble.

Among others is the perfection of the :sulphite method of »roducing wood â€" pulp. One trade possibility which appeals to the Canadian‘s thrifty eye lies in the loophole in the American tariff allowing the returning American to bring in $100 worth of foreign goods dutyâ€"free. The differential between Canada‘s British Empire Preference rates and the American duties creates a margin on such Empire products as Australian wool, English woolens, and Irish linens, which is iarge enough to afford American purchasers in Canada a substantial saving and the Canadian middlerâ€"an a tidy profit. If Australian wool s manufactured into the finished products in Canada, or British wooléns tailored in the Doâ€" winion, there réswlts: an additional Many Canadian ecmomists find it kard to believe that Canada will cling much longer to the system of high tariffs, in view of its heavy burden upon the already irsolvent farmer. Yet the government is apparently committed to the protection of the manufacturer. The creation of an Adâ€" visory Tariff Board in 1926 to aid in fixing the duties on a scientific basis, as low as possible for the protection of home manufacturers, was one boon to the agricultural and other groups. The fourth factor, very different from the first .hree, is the principle of a high tariff which fosters industry ut the expense of agriculture; and we must confess that the results seem to have justified the .nethods. The second of the basic causes for the development of the Dominion is the sturdy pioneer spirit of her people, which has shown itself in the perseâ€" vering opening up of the west and north country, and in the gallant pastâ€" war struggle to extricate the nation from a precarious economic position, The careful restriction of immigration can be counted on to preserve the Norâ€" die character of the people, the inâ€" fAuence of which is of vast importance. The natural resources of the Dominâ€" ion fall into five major categories: {isheries, mines, forests, water power, and farm lands. Of all the countries of the world Canada stands first in production of nickel and asbestos, se :â€" ond in cobalt, third in gold and silver, fourth in lead and copper, and sixth in zinc. Canadian forests are becomâ€" ing of more importance. Available American lumber has been dwindling rapidly, and the â€"verâ€"increasing 1eâ€" muand for wood pulp and newsprint should bring forestry to the very foreâ€" front of Dominion industry. Canada‘s enormous potential production of hydroâ€"electric energy is importart also, and is attracting to the Dominâ€" ion certain industrics, such as the Aluminum Corporation, which require great quantities of cheap power. The â€" recently elected Anglican Bishop of Ontario, Rt. Rev. John Lyâ€" ons, is a Scout leader of some years‘ experience. He organized and for sevâ€" eral years was Scoutmaster of a troop at Belleville. He participated in games and hikes and took the boys to camp.

Do you intend to come to the Lone Scout Cam» which will be held this summer? if so, start saving those nickels now, and let your Scoutâ€" master know that you wish to be onâ€" rolled as a Camp Prospect. This question is easily answered and the two following paragrapas will illustrate the reason. Boy Scouts own no sguperiority of Race or Creed, Color or Tongue. Scouting is just as much designed for the humole boy from town or country as is is for the <son of influential parents.

At present Canada‘s strength is but one of the forces which fortify Engâ€" land‘s importance in world affairs. But there appears to exist a striking simâ€" ilarity in the situation of the British Empire in 1850, the United States of 1910, and the Canada of 1980. The Francoâ€"Prussian War of 1870, in which England was a spectator supâ€" plying the needs of the combatants, established the British Empire as the great creditor nation of the world; the World War, in which England parâ€" ticipated to the full, and in which the United States played (for the most of that period, at least) the profiting byâ€" stander, Adragged down England and established the United States as the world‘s great creditor. Why should not another great war, instead of deâ€" stroying civilization entirely, cause the final breakâ€"up of the British Empire, drag down the United States toward England‘s present plight, and elevate Canada to a minor pinnacle? Canada has sufficient natural wealth to bring such an outcome within the realms of possibility, even though its small size in relation to the natural wealth of the United States would sause her never to reuch the postwar credit pinâ€" nacle of our country.â€" Such an eventâ€" uality, concentrating as it would the credit and most of the natural wealth of the world in the western hemiâ€" sphere (for other semiâ€"developed neuâ€" trals like Argentina and Brazil might be expected to profit, also), might bring about the transfer of the finanâ€" cial, cultural and diplomatic centres from one side of the Atlantic to the other. And who can tell but what in that readustment Canada, with her vast natural resources,â€"might not emâ€" erge as one of the great nations of the world? â€" Condensed from Worli‘s Work by The Reader‘s Digest. l Impressed by the great historical importance of the ruins of Fort Aune at Annapclis Royal, Nova Scotia, not only to Canadians but to the descendâ€" ants of the early colonists along the Atlantic coast of North America, the Dominion Government set aside the military works and about twenty acres surrounding them as a national park under the Department of the Interior. Many of the features have been reâ€" stored while others have been added so that the park is one of the most interesting istoric spots in the East. Thousands visit it each season and the numbers are growing every year. The ‘Dominion government is also experimenting with the British Prefâ€" erence in the hope of making it profitâ€" able for the American manufacturer to produce in Canada for export to the British Empire. * profit and still another class of workâ€" ets to add to the domestic markét for Canadian goods without increasingz the products for which a market has to be found.

Those whose blood is both A and B have no ill effects on either taken separately, while those of the The classification of the blood is based on the theory that two factors which we may call A and B exist in the bloodâ€"stream of human beings. Clearly, there are four possible arâ€" rangements of these factors. A person may have the factor A only, he may have the factor B only, he may have a combination of both A and B, or he may have neither. At the beginning of this century, Dr. Landsteiner of Vienna began the exâ€" periments that have brought to the aid of medicine one of the most powerful methods the science has known. In a lecture he gave in 1910 at the opening of the International Congress of Phyâ€" siclogy at Vienna, he stated that, while no two men were alike either mentally or chemically, yet it was possible to classify them in a general and perfectâ€" ly satisfactory way. He demonstrated that there are three classes of blood. Later, Jansky and Moss discovered the existence of a fourth, which is, howâ€" ever, extremely rare. ‘ Curiously enough, the transfusion of human blood, although at times sucâ€" cessful, often gave the same results as had followed the use of animal blood. Once again, the doctors seemed to have been brought face to face with a blank wall. * In the course of their investigations the doctors discovered that when the blood of a rabbit was mingled with that of a dog, the red corpuscles of the latter dissolved the plasma of the former, and both suffered serious reâ€" sults. Other experiments established the curious fact that animals of the same species, or even of the same family had blood that mingled without any harmful results. This led to the belief that when human life was at stake, human blood should be used. By Dr. Henri Szollos, in Le Mois, Paris (November, 1931) Centuries ago, scientists and mediâ€" cal men believed that the blood lost from a wound or in a severe hemorrhâ€" age could conceivably be replaced by the blood of freshlyâ€"killed animals. The experiments, however, were rareâ€" ly successful. In almost every case the patient, instead of _ gaining strength, weakened, and succumbed. This led to most countries forbiding the practice by law. ° But science was not satisfied to let the question rest. On the face of it, an organ that is not diseased, but has been merely weakened by loss of blood should be restored to health, as naturally as hunger is appeased by food. Clearly, the fault must lie in the blood used. Human Bloodstream Classified by Science The medical professisa has begun to interest itself in the possible conâ€" nection of the various bloodâ€"groups with certain diseases. One eminent doctor affirms that Group A is more susceptible to tuberculosis, and that Group B is more clearly cancerous. These are, of course, merely thecries __An interesting side of the classifiâ€" cation of blood is its apparent connecâ€" ‘tlon with the various races of the earth. Among the civilized nations of the earth, O, the fourth group, is beâ€" tween 35 and 45 per cent., with a few variations. There is a notable preâ€" dominance of A over B among the peoâ€" ples of western Europe, and their desâ€" cendants all over the world. This preâ€" dominance may be as high as from 40 to 50 per cent. Generally speaking, the proportion of A to B decreases in inverse ratio going east, until in Asia B is in places as high as 49 per cent. AB, never common, is, of course, mereâ€" ly a secondary group of A and B. The fourth group, O, reaches its greatest height among the North American Inâ€" dians, the Eskimos, the aborigines of the. South Sea Islands. and related primitive peoples, where it is found in as high a proportion as 91 per cent. ‘The results thus reached give aome‘ colour to the theory that the people of the earth have all descended fromthree principal races. It is quite probable that the group O covers the primitive characteristics, but it is doubtful if there is a single pureâ€"blooded race on earth toâ€"day, since thers has been so much intermingling through marriage, wars, and great national upheavals. | The examination of bloodâ€"stains in the investigation of a murder is beâ€" coming of more and more value. Naâ€" turally, if the stains belong to the vicâ€" tim they are of little assistance if found at the scene of the crime. If, however, they are discovered on weaâ€" pons or clothes belonging to the susâ€" pect, they are looked upon as prima facia evidence, but must be corroborâ€" ated by other evidence. There is alâ€" ways the possibility that the blood may have come from some other source i nthe same group. When the stains reveal a group that does not correspond to that of the victim, the search for the murdered is narrowed down to those in the same group that come within the list of suspects. During the last few years there has been s@me attempt to establish paâ€" ternity or maternity on the bloodâ€" classification, but it can give no exact result. Naturally, if the child‘s blood is unlike that of either of his supposed parents, one or the other is not thus related to him, but since . and B classes are extremely common, the child might quite easiiy have allied blood without it proving either paterâ€" nal or maternal relationship. The stability of bloodâ€"groups is reâ€" markable, and lasts through life. Neither sickness, pregnancy, or acciâ€" dent have the slightest effect on them. The introduction of medicines, serums or drugs fail to change their structure. Some have claimed that variations have followed the use of narcotics and Xâ€"rays but their claims have not been substantiated. Although the question of heredity in mental or physical characteristics has not been determined, there is no doubt concerning the heredity of bloodâ€" groups. For instance, there is no case known of an infant having a bloodâ€" group that was not present in either one of his parents. Thus, if the mothâ€" er‘s blood is A, and the father‘s B, the child‘s may be either or both. On the other hand, if the parents‘ blood is AB, the child may inherit either A or B independently. fourth class cannot safely be treated with any one of the others. 5 The most obvious value of these fAndings is, of course, in the way alâ€" ready mentioned. Once the pripciple was established, there was no diffiâ€" culty in using it on an extensive scale. Toâ€"day there is hardly a hospitai or a school of medicine i nany civilized country that has not its list of proâ€" fessional bloodâ€"givers, whose blood has been carefully tested and classified so that there may be no delay in cases of emergency. Moreover, during the Great War, transfusion of blood was earried in to such an extent that in the American army, for example, every soldier wore on his uniform the class or group to which he belonged, so that firstâ€"aid might be rendered with all possible speed " * Attacked Japan "I really don‘t know," replied the as: yet, but may lead ‘to a ‘much wider latter, glancing in the direction of \he understanging ‘of both the CAUS6 ADO . coupte, "But by his nction, I chou‘ld r>.yentlon of «many..

A number of the diplomats of these secondary powers made it clear they would insist that the Assembly ~deal with the Manchurian rroblem as well as the Shanghai prob! m. Thus they rejected the Japanese contention that the Assembly must keep its hands off Manchuria. Tsunco Matsudaira and Naot«ke Saâ€" to, the Japanese representatives, lisâ€" tened while European and South and Central American speakers denounced armed intervention by a strong State in the territory of a weaker State and while they called for the early withâ€" drawal of Japaness troops from Chinâ€" ese soil. The smaller States â€" Spain, counâ€" tries of Latin America, Estonia and othersâ€"were in the saddle, and they made the most of their opportugity. "Neither the problem of Shanghai nor the problem of Manchuria can be fully discussed until the Japanese solâ€" diers evacuate China," he said. "Evacâ€" uation must precede negotiations." He asserted that the Assembly ought not to recognize any agreement resulting from the Japanese military activities. "The League must be the bulwark of the weak against the strong," he said.
