C. McPhee of the Ontario Depart- ment of Labor gave details of the progress made In the Province. Un- d"r the Department of Lands and Forests, he said, 300 youths were be- ing trained In lumber camps, and others for mining In a school near Halleybury.

By ELIZABETH EEDY WHEAT INSTITUTE: Deploring the fact that Canada has never had a definite wheat policy, has left the marketing abroad of Canadian wheat almost entirely to chance, Henry L. Griffin, Director of the Research De- partment of United Grain Growers Limited, is urging upon the Royal Grain Inquiry Commission, the form- ation of a Wheat Institute to conduct research in uses of Canadian wheat. The immediate purpose of the insti- tute would be to increase Canada's export trade in wheat- Trade rela- tions would have to be studied, re- search made concerning markets, di- rect advertis'ng done. Sooner or lat- er a market plan for wheat would lead to planned marketing of all oth- er farm products- " • * * TENSION EASED: Since Britain's commercial recognition last month of Gen. Franco's ascendancy in Spain, tension has gradually been casing off in the civil war crisis there. Three other factors have in the meantime operated to reduce the situat.on o its quietest since July 1936: â€" Fran- co's willingness to establish, if he wins the war, a pro-British monarchy in Spain; withdrawal of Russian par- ticipation in the confli^; departure of 20.000 Italian troops from Spain and from the Balcarics, a bad dan- ger-spot. It is expected that other powers will shortly rush to recognize Franco, with Japan, Portugal, Aus- tria, Hungary and Poland in the lead. It's all just dandy, except that the poor Spanish Government (Loyalist) is loft out in the cold. * « « STATION NEAR POLE: Interest in the potentialities of Canada's Arc- tic arens was given a big lift this summer by Baron Tv^eedsmuir's tour of the Northwest Territories, and by the penetration into those distant re- gions of ten separate scientific ex- peditions. The secrets of the North have a greater drawing power than ever. Now a prenosal comes that the Domin'on Government build and maintan a scientific station some- where near the enure of the Arctic Archipelago, a headquarters from which expeditions could operate. The Department of Mines and Resources have the matter under consideration and will probably discuss it w.th leading scientists interested in Arc- tic exploration. The site proposed for the station is on the northern end of Boothia Peninsula, the most nor- therly mainland on the Continent. Twill come in handy a few years hence when we begin spending our week-ends at the Pole- » • • $1,500 INCOME: A survey under- taken in the smaller cities of the Un- ited States reveals that the annual income of the typical American fam- ily is close to $1,500. From $156 to $288 of this goes for rent, the great- er part of the rcir-itinder buys food and clothing for the family. The average size of fatnilios on relief in nineteen cit'es ranges from 3-4 to 5.1, whilu for non-relief families the nverage is 3.2 to 4.5. Interest'ng figures, those, from which a number of far-rea"hing conclusions may be drawTi. Colorful sidelight on the story conies from another report, made by a commiss'on of economists and sta- tist'cians financed by the U.S. Gov- ernment, which shows that the po- country amounts to $4,400. There's a tential income of every family in the leakage, somewhere, of $2,900, which certain authorities attribute to eco- nomic waste- * • • FASCISM IN AMERICA: Brazil's fifth Constitution was proclaimed last week by President Vargas, nam- ing hmself as Supreme Head of the Stat-3 with dictatorial powers. The democratic world WiS startled and a little anprehensive at this manifes- tation of growing Fascism, the estab- lishment of America's lirst totalitar- ian state. The new decree abolishes Parl'ament, replacing it with two im- potent. hand-pic!:ed bodies which can be jailed or dismissed at will; puts industry, agriculture, commerce, transport and banking under a new corporative "Council of National Eco- nomy", also dismissable. The main hope of democratic countries is that the new Brazilian set-up will prove just another dictatorship of the iift-- tin-American pattern with none of the rampant imperialism of the true Fascist state, (such as Italy and Germany.)
