Czech Defence Scheme PRAHA. _â€" _ Czechoslovakia, sworn to defend its sovereignty avainst any attack, incorporated all its people between the ages of six and sixty years in a gigantic defence scheme this week. Tremendous Great Lakes Project OTTAWA.â€"A vast project for the development of the Great Lakes System and the St. Lawâ€" rence River Basin for both shipâ€" ping and power needs has been proposed to the Canadian Governâ€" ment by Cordell Hull, Secretary of State for the United States. Closely following a blanket orâ€" der that all persons, men, women and children, must equip themâ€" selves with gas masks at once, the Government in a civil ordinance required all persons of both sexes from 6 to 60 to take instruction in war preparedness. In a surprise announcement, Prime Minister Mackenzie King revealed to the House that negoâ€" tiations have already resulted in a draft treaty in which the United States has agreed to an arrangeâ€" ment whereby both the Canadian Government and the Ontario Govâ€" erument could defer responsibility for development of their share of the tremendous project.

The artiâ€" ficial bolt has a potential of 500,000 volts and strikes with enough power to smash a block of wood one foot long and four inches thick. The disâ€" charge is produced by a giant surge generator built by the Westing» house Electric and Manufacturing Company. The current is taken from an orâ€" dinary household socket. Despite the high voltage, little total energy is involved since the flash lasts less than fiveâ€"millionths of a secâ€" ond. The current used by an elecâ€" tric toaster in one second would produce five such flashes. A natuâ€" ral flash of 10,000,000 volts and 50,â€" 000 amperes, lasting up to twentyâ€" millionths of a second, uses 20 cents worth of electricity only, at 8 cents a kiloâ€"watt hour, according to Dr. P. L. Bellaschi, Westinghouse research engineer. The bolt, made up of particles travelling at 2,200 feet a second, about twice the velocity of sound, hits its target with the force of a .50â€"calibre bullet. Natural lightning hits a blow equivalent to a thirtyâ€" pound shell discharged with a muzâ€" zle velocity of 2,200 feet per secâ€" ond.

Thousands Killed In Bombings MADRID.â€"The British freightâ€" er Penthames was bombed and sunk in an air raid on Valencia harbor last week. No lives were lost. More Onions Being Grown TORONTO. â€" Western Ontario is going to be the cause of even more tears this year. The Ontario Agricultural Department‘s prelimâ€" inary estimate shows that orion plantings in that part have inâ€" creased to 2,654 acres this spring, an increase of 249 over last year. CANTON, China. â€" Japanese planes last weekâ€"end bombed this large commercial city of Southern China for the fourth time in as many days, bringing the casuaities to nearly 2,000 dead and close to 5,000 wounded. A city official announced that the casualties in one bombing alone totalled 1,400 dead and 2,100 injured. A Spanish vessel also was sunk. Air raid alarms kept the harbor district in a state of tension while the raid was on. Essex, Kent and Lambton are the three greatest onionâ€"growing counties of the province, accountâ€" ing for 2,093 acres.

It looks as thengh the embarrassment is likely to continue, too, with General Franco making preparations to carry on his part of the war into the fall and winter. And the Loyalist Government declares it is preâ€" pared to hold out indefinitely. ... TREATY HINGES ON IT: One reason why the National Governâ€" ment of Great Britain appears to be anxious to have insurge: t Genâ€" eral Franco win the Spanish "eivil" war is that the entire sueâ€" cess of the newlyâ€"signed Angloâ€" Italian treaty hinges upon a speedy conclusion of the war in Spain. (The treaty cannot go into effect until the war is over.) And since General Franco has appeared for some tim« to be on the winâ€" ning side . . .. For Japan to conquer the whole of China, and hold it, seems at this time impossible of accompâ€" lishment. But new factors may yet enter and change the situaâ€" tion. Japan is reported to be negoâ€" tiating with Germany for arms, munitions and military support, offering in return a portion of the conquered territory for Germany‘s later use. Should such a deal go through, the outcome of the Sinoâ€" Jap confliect would be unpredictâ€" able. EMPTY VICTORIES:; An imâ€" portant cable from Peiping which came througn, uncensored, to the Globe and Mail and the New York Times, neatly sums up the war situation in China as it now stands. Says the correspondent: "It is idle to say the Japanese armies have ‘conquered‘ many Provincesâ€"the facts are that the Japanese authority rarely runs beyond the range of Japanese guns . . . . Militarily, politically and economically there is a grave danger of Japan becoming hopeâ€" lessly bogged down in the vast morass created by the Chinese stubborn refusal to admit military defeat."

WHAT, NO NEWS?: Why is it that nothing seems to be going on in Canada this weekâ€"apart from the talk at Ottawa, we mean? Rather hard on the newspapers, you know, having so few stories to feature in the headlines. What‘s behind it all? Why, everybody‘s too busy to be making news. British Columbia is trying to cope with its urgent relief problem, while thinking about the new highway through to Alaska; Alberta is busy untying Social Credit knots and keeping a finâ€" ger in the Saskatchewan election pie; the farmers of Saskatchewan are blessedly busy on the land, giving little thought to how the election will turn out; Quebec is occupied with provincial problems, taking time off now and then for a bit of a "Red" hunt; while down here in Old Ontario everybody is out gardening or golfing or listenâ€" ing to the crops grow, It‘s June.
