The general feeling will support the idea that at least there should be protestâ€"continued proâ€" test. Suggestions as to how to make these proâ€" tests the more effective will certainly be welcomâ€" ed. Accordingly, there is likely to be general apâ€" proval of the idea contained in pamphlets recently distributed here and elsewhere. These pamphiets The plight of the unoffending Jewish people in' Germany is truly deplorable. There are many who feel that there is just cause for a world war, in such a situation. There is even question on; the part of some as to whether civilization canl survive if the soâ€"called cultured peoples stand by and allow atrocities such as have been the boasti of the Nazis. It is felt that it is essentially the! vital business of every man who believes in liberty.| in decency, in humanity. To the average man all this leads back to the question, "What to do| about it?" . | Since the public protests have been made there has been a tendency on the part of Germany to lessen its brutality towards the Jewish people within its borders. If there has not been an actual return to more humane treatment of a helpless minority, there has been some desire shown to keep the brutalities from the public eye.: That in itself is something of gain. Germany has found it at least poor business and poor policy to boast of its cruelty and oppression. Germany has shown itself amenable to the force of world opinion. The protests have not been altogether without effect, particularly insofar as they have been supported by trade restrictions. a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness in the matter. ‘"What can we do about it?" "Will these resolutions do any good?" These were some o1 the quéstions asked in regard to the Nazi atrocities. As the Advance pointed out at the time, there were several things that civilized people could do about it. In the first place they owed it to themâ€" selves, at least to protest. Not to protest would be to give countenance to vileness unequalled since the dark ages of the world. Protest was essential for a double reasonâ€"to make plain the fact that the sadism and brutality exhibited in Germany were condemned by the outside world, and to let the Nazis know that the world protested and would find some means to make the protest of some efâ€" fect. When the world learned of the systematic camâ€" paign of persecution, looting, murder, and worse, carried on by the Nazis against the whole Jewish population in Germany, the people of Canada felt, along with the rest of the civilized and humane people of the world, the deepest regret and reâ€" sentment. This was indicated by the meetings of protest held in various parts of the Dominion and the resolutions passed at these meetings. At the same time there appeared to be too much of is true of Northern Ontario. There is no escapingi the fact that it is the prospector who is primarily‘ responsible for any development, any prosperity.; No one denies this fact when it is brought to at-' tention. But too often it is overlooked. The prosâ€" pector braves hardship, danger, discomfort. He! bears the heat, the cold, the wet, the blackflies.l the mosquitoes, the snow and ice. He has the| harder part, and only occasionally does he reap reward equal to his sacrifice. At least there should be public recognition of the fact that without the prospector there would be no mining development, no new railway lines to serve new mines, and no! banquets to celebrate the opening of new rail-! roads. If the prospector was overlooked at the celebration of the opening of the railway between| Senneterre and the Rouyn camp, it was a sad misâ€"| take, indeed. It was in striking contrast to the recognition shown the prospector a few years ago when the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary of the disâ€" ; covery of the Porcupine mines was observed. The late Noah A. Timmins paid adequate tribute on that occasion to the prospector. The tribute was not confined either to the words of his address, generous though they were in praise of the pionâ€" eering prospector. Before and after the address ‘ he searched out the prospectors, many of them too modest and retiring to come forward, and he newed friendships with these good fellows whom}! he esteemed not only for their own good qualities but also for the fact that they were the real disâ€" coverers and makers of the great North. | 1 « | ) 1 -â€"v| $ Eleswhere in this issue will be found a letterl from a prospector to The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press, in: which attention is called to the fact that in the| recent celebration of the opening of the new railâ€"| way connecting up the mining areas of Northern Quebec, there seemed to be thought of everyone but the prospector. "The prospector is the forgotten | man!" says the letter. Had there been no prosâ€" pector there would have been no mining develop-' ment, no railway, no need for a railwy.

In his declaration of war, Premier King suggests that the policy of "appeasement" has not proved a sucâ€" cess. Instead he charges Premier Hepburn with forming an unnatural alliance with Premier Dupâ€" lessis of Quebec to bring about the retirement of the present premier of Canada and to secure conâ€" trol of the Dominion administration. This, Premâ€" ier King believes to be a threat to national unity and a breach of all the clauses of the League of Liberals. On his part, Premier Hepburn shuts off the fanning mill at his farm at St. Thomas to tell the world that he is in no unnatural alliance with anybody, that he never was in any plot to control the national government, that everything is false and without foundation, but that now war is de. clared, he declares it also. War! War! War! All the Dominion Cabinet announce themselvesi as with Premier King for War! War! War! All the member of the provincial administration arel with Premier Hepburn for War! War! War! Even the gentle Hon. W. C. Nixon, who never seems to lose his head, though all around him it may seem far otherwise, he too, says to his premier, "Don‘t budge an inch!" Indeed, it seems to be a unanâ€" imous war! And for once, the best man will Tikely win! _ The late President Wilson, the League of Naâ€" tions, and pacifists at home and abroad, have been roundly condemned by some because they | promised to banish war, yet there has been more | war and carnage than ever before in the history of civilization. It is a common thing to hear people say: "The people who were out to ban war |have done nothingâ€"less than nothing." It may be startling to the critics, but it is the absolute truth, nevertheless, that since the last great war there hasn‘t been a single war declared in Europe or in Asia. It is true that there has been much battle and carnageâ€"but no declaration of war. iIt is hard to see any advantage in the new style, | but it remains the fact that it is not the custom |nowadays to declare war.~ Instead people just | start fighting. f Surely, there is irony in the fact that it remainâ€" Eed for Canada, the land of peace, and the Canâ€" iadian Liberal party, the party of peace, to break | the new mode and have a double declaration of iwar before starting the fight. This is what has ioccurred here in this noble Dominion. War has certainly been declared! And it is no Civil War! iFar from it! There is odd contrast between the F new world procedure and the new Canadian methâ€" od. The modern style has half a dozen wars in progress without a single declaration of war. The new Canadian scheme has a half a dozen declarâ€" ations of war before the blow falls. First, speaking at Port Arthur, Hon. Norman Rogers, Minister of Labour in the Dominion Government, declared war boldly on Friend Premier Hepburn of Ontario. Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Transport, followed with his formal declaration of war. The sound of their voices had scarcely faded over the radio before Premier Hepburn had thundered his deâ€" claration of war. Premier King was next with his declaration of war. Then came the official deâ€" claration of war from all the present Ontario ministers of the administration, while the big guns at Ottawa thundered in reply, "War is declared." Even the former attorneyâ€"general of Ontario, Hon. Arthur Roebuck, has piped up, "War! War! War declared!" Hon. Mr. Roebuck in his declarâ€" ation of war called Premier Hepburn a traitor. That will likely mean a separate declaration of war, when Premier Hepburn gets around to it. briefly refer to the Nazi atrocities and call upon all to show their deepest disapproval. It is pointed out that one way that this may be done is to refuse to buy Germanâ€"made goods of any kind. This '| is a plan that would bring home to the Nazis in a way that they would understand the fact that the world at large hates the methods they have adopted of oppression and inhumanity. Kindly | people, humane people, seem to owe this to themâ€" |selves, not only to indicate their objection to Nazi brutality, but also to show.that they do not intend even indirectly to support or countenance the Nazi policy. It seems to be worse than idile i to condemn the Nazis and at the same time supâ€"| port them in their nefarious system by buying Itheir goods. In time of war there is always boyâ€" | cott of enemy goods. At the moment the whole | world of civilized people is surely against the Nazi brutality and persecution. Without trade and industry Germany cannot carry on. Germany ! depends in large measure for any success on its | foreign trade and commerce. An effective boycott 'of Nazi goods would do more than anything else | to bring the Nazis to a realization that the world has ways and means to show its hatred of evil and tyranny. Those who have been asking themâ€" ,selves, "Well, what can I do about it?" have the answer shown them. The individual has the matter in his own hands. It is true that there will !be no effect just because one man or woman in Timmins says, "I wlil have nothing to do with any Nazi goods stained with blood of innocent people." But if every humane person in Timâ€" mins, in Ontario, in Canada, throughout the civilâ€" ized world should take that attitude, the protest ‘would be so strong, so clear, so inescapable, that even the Nazis would read and understand. I There may be carping critics to condemn Prem THIS WAR DECLARED THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO And speaking of Christmas, aren‘t all these deâ€" clarations of war the loveliest way to wish Hon. Once there was a gentleman who was going to get the troops out of the trenches before Christâ€" mas. It is sincerely to be hoped that some form of peace ship will succeed in settling the latest war before the King and Queen come here next year. It will be bad enough to have Their Majesâ€" ties forced to sleep on a railway siding at Toronto, without having their rest disturbed further by the noise of battle around them. In fairness to Mr. King, however, his own stateâ€" ment may be quoted here along this particular line: ‘"The issue as it has developed transcends the narrower considerations of personalities and parties. It has become one involving the standâ€" ards which are to prevail in the public life of Canada, in the relations between the provinces and the Dominion, and the whole question of national unity. This issue must be and will be squarely faced. To that end, as a first step, I inâ€" tend, as soon as parliament reassembles, to discuss the situation in all its implications with members of the party in the House of Commons and the Senate. That is all I have to say for the present." Perhaps, Premier King feels that if the parliament disapproves, the declaration of war may be res cinded, or sent on for interpretation by the Privy Council and so made null and void. Je King for declaring war before consulting parliament. On numerous occasions Hon. Mr. King has made it plain that any ordinary world war should be held up a month or two to allow parliament to be assembled to decide whether Canada was in favour of the war or not. It may be claimed that it is inconsistent on his part to declare this war without first having parliament pass upon it. His reply, of course, will be the famous last words, "Oh, but that‘s different." The largest item reported in the exâ€" penditures of gold mining companies for supplies in 1937 was explosives with electric powsr second. The outlay for explosives was reported at $4,705,000 and for electric power $4,517,000. Purâ€" chases of lumber and <imber of all kinds were valued at $2,848,000 and of a wide variocty of other building maâ€" terlals at $1,320,000. Electric equipâ€" (From "Agricultural and Industrial Progress in Canada.") The direct outlay by gold mining companies in Canada last year for equipment, supplies and power totalled $40,625,000. This figure is only a parâ€" tial estimate of the market provided by the Canadian gold mining industry, for it includes nothing of the expendizures for food, clothing, fuel and other supâ€" plies by the communitiese built up around gold mines. The estimate of direct expenditures of gold mining comâ€" panies is made by cthe government staâ€" tistical offics with the coâ€"operation of mining associations, and is part of a wider survey of a similar character for all branches of mining. In the last survey of the mining field as a whole gold mining accounted for a lictle more han a third of the total outlay by all mining companies. The increass in the dirsct qutlay ot. gold mining companies last year over the las previcus estimate in 1935 was 40 per cent. This in turn followed a gain of nearly 20 per cont. over 1934, the first year for which such an estiâ€" mate was made. Direct expenditures for equipment and supplies by gold mining companies in 1934 were reportâ€" ed at $23,993,000, from which there was an advance to $28,707,000 in 1935 and again to $40,625,000 last year. The 1934 and 1935 reports covered the minâ€" ing industry as a whole and the total similar outlays for the mining industry rose be:ween these years from $76,082,â€" 000 to $84.813.000.
