REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stope, Inc, New York snd Chicago, OD, OB NS I pl SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1929 STREET : um RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED PRODUCTS 'There were 80 many interesting and inform- ative points in the address of Cyril T, Young, superintendent of development of the C.N.R, al the Chamber of Commerce meeting a few nights ago that it 1s impossible to comment on them all. One short section of his address, however, is worth another reference, since it shows what it means to Canada to have her raw materials manu- factured at home, as much as is possible, instead of being shipped, in the raw state, to other countries, Mr, Young tried to show the increase in the value of the raw material by being processed in this country until it reaches the finished product, and he had facts and figues to prove his argument, For instance, the milling of wheat adds four- teen per cent. to its original value, but the amount of wheat made into flour in this country added only six per cent. to the value of the crop, the palance being milled elsewhere, By feeding grain to animals, and marketing it in the form of beef and dairy products, 37 per cent, is added to its value. _ . . _ . The canning of vege.ables and selling them in that form adds 59 per cent, to their values The raw material of the textile industries has its value increased 80 per cent, by the manufac- turing process. : The processing of irom, from the ore to the finished product, adds 96 per cent, to its value. In the chemical industry, manufacturing adds 104 per cent. to the value of the raw material, and in all metal industries 104 per cent, is added by manufacturing. From the trees in logs to the finished wood product, there is an increase of 130 per cent, in value. It is not hard to figure out what it would mean " to Canada to have the great bulk of these raw materials processed into the finished article in _ this country. These increases in value mean, . more than anything else, wages paid to workmen 'and women for changing the raw materials into | the finished product, and the more that there is of complete manufacture of Canadian raw ma- terials in Canada, the more there will be of an industrial development, and the greater will be the payrolls of the country. And this develop- ment will be of real value to the workers because "it will mean.an employment period of' twelye | months of the year, instead of only seasonal: periods which cxist in some lines of indutry, par- . ticularly in Capada, 3 - "The moral is not hard to find, and that is that "every effort should be made to see that the great- est possible stimulus is given to the complete manufacture in Canada of the raw materials fur- | pished by the various lines of natural resources. THE WATERPOWERS JUDGMENT The submitting to the supreme court of Can- - ada of the question as to the rights of the prov- _ inces to waterpowers created by the improvement of na , and kindred subjects relating to ~ walerpower development,-has ended in a glorious ~ flasco, After weeks of preparation by the most . brilliant legal talent the country-could produce, after days of argument in court by the keepest minds of the country, and after montlis of delibera- tion by Canada's highest judicial body, the prov- mces and the dominion are back just where they | began, with the masters 'in dispute still as far | from settlement as ever. There is an ironical touch in the judgment | handed down by the supreme court, although why _ 4¢ should be called a judgment, when it does not give any answer to the questions involved, is | gather puzzling. The best lawyers in the country, retained by the federal and the various provincial 8 i ts, prepared a series of questions whick, 4t was believed, would solve the problem. And the reply of the court is that it is impossible to answer 'the questions intelligently. If questions prepared by these men of legal , knowledge, and idered by the judges of the 'supreme court are unintelligible, we would sug- 'that a group of 'average men who never had a minute of legal training be asked to frame a set of questions, and then to supply their own 'answers. The result Wonld probably be just as 'edifying as the mouse which has been brought | forth Ly the mountainous supreine court after | montlis of labor. gh It is interesting to contrast -the attitude of the Uniteg tates and Great Britain to naval build. ing.' While the Upited States is embarking on a big'navy program, 'beginning with fifteen armed cruisers as a start, Britain has further curtailed 'ner-sirendy meagre -bullding program in the same clase of ships. . A few days ago'it 'was disclosed 'that Britain's : plans had called for the construction in the next year of three ¢ruisers, in marked contrast to the fifteen for the United States, But even three have been found too many to satisfy the desires of those in the British government who believe in not only preaching, but also in practising, naval limitations, As a result, two of the three erulsers are being struck off the list, and the British pro- gram for the immediate futyre calls for the con. struction of only one of them, ] : It is undoubtedly a hard matter to reconcile disarmament, warships" seems to be the ability of the people to pay. position to bropch plans for disarmament in the face of the vote for new and greater naval con. struction, and, in addition, it is rather parudoxical | to find the country from which emanated the Kellogg pact for the renunciation of war leasing the whole of the. world in the building of the in~ struments of war on the sea, BRITISH-SHIPPING LEADS Ever since. the days when Drake and Raleigh swept the seas of the Spanish main, and placed England on the pinnacle of the sea-faring nations | of the world, the British Empire has held the supremacy in the world's shipping. dates back to the days when British shipd began to sail the seven seas in search of treasures to in those two little islands in the North Sea. In these modern days, in spite of all the trouble which Britain has undergone since the great war, it is remarkable to find that Britain still holds that supremacy in an astonishing way, In the year 1928, according to the great Lloyds' under- writing agency, which keeps a register of all ships in the world, Great Britain and Ireland bulit 53.6 per cent, of all the ships built jn the whole world. These are remarkable figures, and they show the vast confidence which there must be in the minds of the British people in the future of their own coyntry--else why build more-ships. Nor is that all, The increase in British ship- ping last year amounted to twenty per cent, The increase of all the other nations in 'the world put together amounted to 32 per cent, There can be small hope of dislodging from a position of maritime supremacy of a nation. which, even in its time of dire economic extremity, keeps looking to the future and safe-guarding its posi tion by building more and more ships.

That is a goal, which every municipality in the Border Cities should try to reach during 1929. Careful police supervision has made drivers remem- ber that safety is essential. The rules of the road have been impressed on motorists. The result has been an entire year without a motor death to mar the record. THE REAL IMPERIALISM (London Observer) General Smuts speaks on-the British Empire as "the greatest force for good the world has ever seen, and probably ever will see." Those are the words of a man who has opposed that Empire in arms and has printed his character upon the world's mind far more widely than either the English or the Dutch language is spoken. Some phases of South African development are discouraging, and especially that reluctance in certain quarters to resign old enmities which have lost their meaning. But such a faith-- virile and generous--as General Smuts avows can be trusted to outlive and defeat all cults of mere animosity and negation. THE HONEST OLD SPUD (Detroit News) Agricultural experts are predicting that farmers will cut down their acreage of potatoes the coming year. They raised too many during the. past season and were unable to market them satisfactorily, Of course, there can be no 'carry-over, but the old time logic of the farm is supposed to be not to plant next year the crop that doesn't pay this year, But the Government statistics don't look so bad for the humble potato.. The fault seems to be that the above mentioned logic worked in "reverse Eng- lish" last.year. The 1927 crop was a trifle light but brought a bumper 'price, so the potato growers planted largely in 1928 and took less for their bigger production. But even at that, according to Govern- ment figures, the average return per acre was $65.34, which would just about buy the average 2cre of Some, The 'honest old potato pays his way, after - - Bits of Verse - - YOU FIND YOUR OWN Once where a prophet in a palm shade fay, A traveller stopped at noon one dusty day, And asked " t sort of people in this land?

Barton, M.D. GETTING SOME SUN DAILY When the weather is a bit cold it scems a natural thing to remain ndoors, and yet aside from the value of pure fresh air there.is one' other great fife of which you and I seem not fully aware, I often think, as mentioned before, that the natives of far distant shores showed a reverence that reflects upon us, when they worshipped their ly known god, the sun. Why did they worship the sun? Because they realized that their life on earth was dependent upon the sun, And now Dr, Chas, Maye calls at- tention to the fact that it was not until 1750 that the first use of light in medical treatment was recorded by Russell, who was stimulated to its use' by watching the' self treat- ment of animals, Finsen in 1893, Bernad in 1902, and Rollier in 1904, brought the use of the sun's rays to the attention of the civilized world, and yet all these thousands of years the sun has beamed down upon us. It is really only at the present time that man is beginning to take advantage of these rays. And as man is above thé animal rays of the sun, thie heat waves, the radio waves, the violet, ultra violet, X ray, and radium waves. He knows that these rays have uses, and is learning what some of these uses are. For instance that the ultra violet ray will help to lower high blood pressure, increase the oxygen and lime in the blood, help the activity of the endocrine glands, which as you know are sort of regulators in the body, and increases the storage of iodin in the thyroid gland. And man goes further and is able to develop these rays artificially, But you and I, every day of our lives, should get some of these rays, and if we are shut up at our work during most of the day, remember that the sun's rays are at their best, are strongest, at the noon hour. Thus a few minutes of your noon hour, spent in the sun, will stimulate every cell in that body of yours. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.)
