By ELIZABETH EEDY VACANT SPOTS: Speaking in Winnipeg last week, Right Hon. R. B. Bennett declared that the British Dominions must build up their popu- lations and fill in the vacant spots towards which the jealous eyes of other less fortunate countries are now turning. Question: How shall we All these 'vacant ppots" in a hurry? Mr. Bennett's solution to the problem is Empire co-operation, by which he means, no doubt, encouragement of emigration from the more crowded areas of Britain's domains. CONSPIRACY IN FRANCE: â€" France, one of Europe's few remain- ing democracies, has her own troub- les. Since the fall of Blum's Popular Front government this summer, they have increased a hund:ed fold in view of the fact that the present adminis- tration headed by Premier Camille Chautemps Is neither definitely of the Left nor of the Right, but is at the mercy of both factions. Every now and then Rightist agitators, believed to bo backed by Fascist interests, are arrested when authorities come upon a cache of arms, a bomb-proof shelter. Rumors are now current that the Rightists are preparing a "putsch" against tho government. Too many Issues are involved for Bliim's Socialists to attempt at this time to regain the seat of government. A revolution such as 'hat of 17S9 would have to be faced, with interna- tional complications too drastic to contemplate. CANADIAN CAPITAL: We have been hearing a great deal the past few years about the domination of Canadian industry by American capi- tal. Refutation of that idea is made this week by the Secretary of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, D. H. Ward, who addressed a service club in Leicester, England. Says Mr. Ward: Of every $100 Invested in Can- adian Industry, $70. GO Is Canadian. $21.14 American and $7.92 from the United Kingdom. He declares that there are about 1,400 United States controlled or affiliated compaules In Can.ida, but only 68 per cent, of them are manufacturing concerns. Of capi- tal invested In these companies, only 38 per cent, is In manufacturing. The minority Interest In these companies, coming to about 22 per cent., is chiefly Canadian, he says. Cheering news, this! We may now begin to hold up our heads. PASSING THE BUCK: Its hap- pened again! Deadlocked, the Nine- Power Cpnfert%ce meeting at Bruss- els to settle the question of the Slno- Jap conflict, had to give up trying to daughter of Sir Auckland Geddes, were married at St. Peter'."! Church in Eaton Square. It was a strange wedding. Rejoicing was replaced by sorrow and the weddins- gowns with sombre black. Canada's Death Rate OTTAWA.â€" Canada's 193G death roll was tOG,Cl7, according to pre- liminary figures published in the an- nua; report of the National Health Oarartment, This represented a ra- tion of 9.7 per thou.sand of popula- lation. The highest rate was in Prince Ed- ward Island, n.l. and the lowest in Saskatchewan, 6.7. Ubor "Ginger" Party LONDON.â€" The Labor Party this week announced its new front bench to put more "ginger" in it-, attacks on the Government. But it turned nut to bo much tho same front bench that has faced the National Govern- ment across the House of Commons since the 1935 election, and even be- fore. A "ginger group" of twelve was elected to sit with Clement Attlee, Leader of the Opposition; Arthur Greenwood, Deputy Leader; the par- ty Whips, and the E.xecutive Com- mittee. Suicide Proves Invention A locksmith of Petrovgrad, Jugo- slavia, Josip Majsncr, invented an automatic rifle which, he claimed, would fire 10 bullets when a button was pressed. But none of those to whom he showed the invention were at all interested; and. in desperation, he shot himself with the weapon. He left behind him a note claiming that his body would prove his claims about the rifle's efficiency. Police examined the corpse and it showed that the rifle fired 10 bul- lets simultaneously. Seven of these bullets were found in his body. Now. to add a touch of grim humor, enquiries are being received from firm.s who want to patent the rifle. mediate In toto. In the fir.st place, they were powerless because Ja|)an refused to have anything to do with the Conference, would consider none of its proposals. When Ambassador Norman Davis of the United States made a rather non-committal speech inferring that action should be taken against Japan. It was immediately seized upon as the opening all httd been waiting for. Foreign Minister Anthony Eden immediately let It t)e known that Britain would follow tfxe American lead. The United States then accepted the appointment 'as Committee ot" One, backed by Britain and France, to take fitting steps to end the war In China. But before ^he United States can in '.itute any steps. Congress will have to be agreeaUle. Do you think they will do anything? Frankly, we don't. THOSE ELECTION SPEECHtS: The Canadian Broadcasting Comipis- sion is celebrating its first birthday with a conference on the many and complex problems which have come before the Iward during the past year. One of the most important questiatja to be discussed is the broadcasting of political speeches during election cam- paigns, those speeches that were sucli a headache to nine-tenths of the peo- ple who listened in this September and October. Many these are v^ho actually enjoyed the broadcasts, who appear grateful for the politicil infor- mation they derived therefrom, but judging by the number of protests re- ceived by Major W. E. Gladstone Mur- ray, the Commission's General Man- ager, it Is pretty generally felt that the candidates and their backers wOTe wasting both time and money in mon- opolizing the air waves. POOR SPORTS: The November season of pheasant shoots brings its annual crop of cruelty stories, tales of "sportsmen" who "fish" for birds by placing baited hooks on wire fences, or drive mounded birds Into the lake forcing them to drown. In Essex County Court this week. Will- lam Ferguson, Pelee Island farmer, denounced the hunters as ".:aniacs'' and "savages." claiming that two mtfn had shot his chickens along with wild pheasants. Another story tells of two hunters who ignored a "No Trespass- ing" sign on a certain farmer's prop- erty, pursued a pheasant to the far- mer's very back door, turned deaf ears to his pleas that they spare Its life. The bird was a family pet. tame for many years. Poor sportsmanship, we call it. More game wardens are needed who will take an active inter- est in their Job and put a stop to such vandalism. ".\merlca i.i miuh morn susceptible to tho financial effects of a war scare. and Indeed more prone to the scar? Itself."â€" Sir Josiah Stamp. i Weather Influences Human Behaviour Cultui e Usually Tumbles With th* Temperature Dr. Raymond' H. Wheeler, ot Kansas peered into a 110-pound "almanac': and forecast a forty-year cold and dry spell accompanied by general prol.-'ar; ian thunderstorms and religious high- pressure areas. The midule-clnss rumblings, he said, . will culminate in revolt of the Euro- pean masses, a cyclone ot ballct.s that win drive dictators Into thoir storm cellars and install a new leadership. Then, Dr. Wheeler predicted, will come a period of rising individualism «ud compet'tlou that will reach a cli- max when the new middle clas.;es do break into actual revolution â€" much a? thpy did during the Reformation bra of tho sixteenth century. Ico Age May Be Coming For tour years Dr. Wheeler, Univer- sity of Kansas psychologist, has been studying weather cycles and their ef- fects on hi.man behaviour since the beginning of time. In his huge "al- manac" â€" its pages are four foot across â€" he has correlated data that, he .says, prove the two movo >aud in hand. Culture, Dr. Wheeler's studios nhow- ed him, always tumbles with the tem- perature and, if the human iiiimal re- acts true to historical form, the cold spell In tho offing will produce an ef- fect paralleling that of the Ice Ages. Warm, damp weather, on the ether hand, brings a surge of art, literature and science â€" a period like H'o Re- naissance. "Ovar the Worst Now" At presant, he said, tho world is In a • drop toward decadency." How- ever, it is "over the worst" and. "as Wo continue to go down, everything will take on a new aspect. Th^ro will ba a re-emphasis ot the individual oud a revival of evangelism in 'ellgion. Crime will continue to be biological Instead of economic as long as we drop and will switch to the rdversa when we start our upward climb." "All lines of business and culture may ba.'!e their future on the s'-uly of the I " I'-.e psychologist aald. "Thi y may effect a permanent stabtlizatlou."
