The realization that he was physiâ€" cally well again was demonstrated on the 5th instiant, when he delivered in the House of Commons an elevated spsech on electoral purity, in introducâ€" ing legislation to further that noble purpose. It is true that this subject is very remote from his department and its activities, but the minister has an intimate knowledge of it. Ye knows all the intricacies of the elsction law and also has had unusual facilities for acâ€" quiring knowledge of the rude techâ€" nique of running elections.

The suggesâ€" tion is that the moral fiber of the comâ€" munity has either deteriorated or else that forces are at work to produce that deteriorating sffect. The bill is an attempt to remedy such conditions by dealing with political campaign funds of numerous pledges to candidates.

His testimony, given at hearings on the Agriculture Appropriation Bill, was made public today. In the Dcominion, he asserted, "they ar> cominz to the limit in the matter cf exhausting their forest capital." The situation in the Southern Unitâ€" <â€"a States, Silcox said, called for a balâ€" ance betwern growth and drain of forest resources. He said the $100,000,â€" 000 invested in Southern pulp and papcr mills recently looks like "only a ~eginning." "Considering the situation there," Silcox asserted, "it must be remembenad thst production of yellow pine for lumâ€" ber, 95 per cent. of which is from the South, increased nearly 4,000,000,000 feet between 1932 and 1936.

Th drain be intensified, he added, by the needs of meeting a naâ€" tional housing shortage and by worldâ€" wide pulpwood conditions.

He added that, although more private forest lands now received better fire protecâ€" tion, and more lands were left in betâ€" ter gcrowing condition, the problem of perpetuating the forest resources was far from solved. When estimates were made in Novâ€" ember last for cost of bringing mine into production, including erection of mill; it was estimated that from $800,000 to $600.000 would be required in addition to the moneys available. Directors then decided to borrow the money rather than increase the capital and made necessary arrangements with Noranda Mines. It is now estimted that on acâ€" ecclunt of deeper foundation being reâ€" quired, additional equipment being inâ€" stalled, increased cost of steel and other buildings and materials and provision for additional working capital, a further 125,000 will probably be required and directors will arrange to borrow these suumg.

While it is yet too early to form any real idea as to size or extent of the mine, or as to average grade of ore to be milled, he said, it is quite apparent that the ore milled will be considerably above the average Porâ€" cupine grade and directors feel that company will be a substantial profitâ€" earner from commencement of operâ€" ations.

Many now believe the nation ow>s them a living, and that, in fact, is the greatest disâ€" aster the New Deal has wrouzht. There is not the slightest reason to doubt, however, that under exercise of univerâ€" sal suffrage this elment will remain steadfast in support of the prosident and his policies. Past events suggest, even in the face of promise of no recriminations, that the president may again allow his temâ€" per to get the better of him, thus posâ€" sibly foreshadowing further bedevilâ€" ment of industry and particularly of its leaders, who have already been held up to public hate. The victory recordâ€" ed last week is good so far as it goes, but as we see it, it does not carry deâ€" finite guarantse that the course of the New Deal will be much deflected or that th Democratic Party is destined to defeat this fall. Sudbury Star:â€"~â€"The St. Catharines Standard suggests that the country might forget all moral scruples for the present and hold a sweepstakes on the Conservative national leadership. Nevertheless, the punctuation has restored some measure of confidence, and it has been instantly reflected in the stock market. That will mean added actiivty among the gold securiâ€" ties offered by Canada, which are unâ€" doubtedly among the safest investâ€" ments to be foun anywhere,. We should like to see this pericd of stimulation used in a concerted effort to attract capital from the Motherland, where, in our opinion, the real destiny of Canada lies. One must go far back ‘ in United States history to find a parallel case. Swept into office by the greatest maâ€" jority ever recorded, President Rooseâ€" velt at first handled his enormous power with dash and wisdom, bringing about a better state of affairs, especialâ€" ly by injection of confidence into a deâ€" moralized banking situation. Since then, however, even admirers concede he has exhibited, first stubbornness and then lack of decision, until toâ€"day he is largely beroft of popularity and cecnfidence, except, of course, among that large part of the population that has directly benefited, and hopes to continv= to benefit from reâ€" liet expenditures in direct dole or pubâ€" li+ work.:. It ‘is, in our opinion, too much to expect a rightâ€"aboutâ€"face at this time, but if there were any real Gdesire to undo that which has undoubtedly brcught about the present depression an ear would be lent to big and little business, which is one in demanding taxation nslief and freedom from Govâ€" ernment competition and pestiferous interference. Canada‘s Gold Aided by New Deal Defeat As to the Reorganization Bill itself, it was merely the vehicle through which growing resentment was exâ€" pressed. In itself it probably was not as bad a measure as antiâ€"New Dealors alleged so vociferously. Some features were obviously good@ and might have led to reduction in the cost of governâ€" ment, besides harmonizing innumerâ€" able departments and bureaus that have been pulling different ways and cverlapping each other in marked deâ€" gree since hareâ€"brained crackpots beâ€" came the mainspring of legislative acâ€" tion. The bald faot is that President Roosevelt has lost thr> confidsnce of his public, and it is not unlikely tha‘ other controversial legislation designed to ccomfort and clothe the mythical cneâ€"thirda will meet the same fats as the reorganization measure. sStocks Beneficially Aided by Attitude of COH}.,](’\\ (From Ths Globe and Mail) The march of the Now Deal, which until a year ago swept ecverything, inâ€" cluding commonâ€"sense, ‘before it, but which of late subsided to a halting shuffle, has now been definitely brought to the end of the rsad. The rebuke handed to the president by the House of Representatives last Thursâ€" day is a major political event, regisâ€" tering the desire of the United States people for less experimentation and antipathy to any encroachments upon their form of government.
