THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY; AUGUST 9, 1929 7 AER ------------ Ci is Fo COR TEE i Sa ; + Marketing Board Reports As- tonishing Growth from ndon, Aug. 9.--The development he natural resources of the Em- is being carried out with steady fectiveness, says the report of the Empire Marketing Board, recently 'issued. "The range of Empire pro- ducts available in this country is year by year spreading," the report s. "A revolution in Empire sup- plies has happened within the life- ne of those who are now barely middle-aged." ' "Certain imports from Empire sour- ces have in the last two years broken all previous records, the report de- clares, adding that the influence of the marketing board in this connec- tion can hardly be measured, It is pointed out that the board's main purpose 1s increasing the sale within Great Britain of goods from Empire sources, including agricultural pro- ducts of England herself. "The newness of nany of the great exporting industries of foodstuffs and raw materials in the oversea Empire is not, perhaps, adequately appreciat+ ed," the report continues. © "Every one of the dominions and many of the colonies have advanced within the last 50 years from a relatively modest position into that of import- ant contributors to and purchasers in the great markets of the world, There has been an extraordinary deveop- ment of the Empire's resources even since the beginning of the present century. "A survey confined only to the leading export shows that. Australia's shipments of wool have risen in this period from slightly over 500,000,000 1bs, to about 800,000,000 Ibs., and her exports of wheat from 50,000 tons of 2,000,000 - tons. Canada's wheat ex- ports have grown from about 250,000 tons to approximately 7,000,000 tons and her exports of newsprint from next to nothing to 2,000,000 tons, New England's principal exports wool and fairy produce; the first has gone up from under 150,000,000 lbs. to more 'han 200,000,000° 1bs,, and butter from less than 250,000 cwt. and cheese from 100,000 cwt. to nearly 1,500,000 twt. in each case, "In the Union of South Africa shipments of wool have risen from 90,000,000 1bs. to 250,000,000 bs. New foundland has developed since the béginning of the century an export trade in paper to the annual value of £2,500,000. India, which cannot of course be compared with the domin- - ions for newness, nevertheless shows a similar advance. Exports of nearly all her numerous products have show progress in the present century, Raw % MISS MI Who was expected to be Independ- ent Conservative candidate in the recent Lanark by-election, has ed her intention of entering the field in the next general elections. cotton, her main export, has increased from 400,000,000 Ibs. to nearly 1,500,- 000,000 Ibs. last year, and tea from 190,000,000 lbs. to 360,000,000. Ibs. "In the colonies an even more mar- ked development has occurred. Co- coa exports, for instance, have risen from less than 500,000 lbs, to 110,000, 000 Ibs. in Nigeria, and from less than 1,250,000 lbs. to 490,000,000 lbs, in the Gold Coast. Exports of rubber from British Ma laya have grown from nothing to about 370,000 tows, although some part of the rubber exported has its origin outside British territory, - Tea from Ceylon has gone from 140,000,~ 000 Ibs. to 228,000,000 1bs.; rubber from 73 cwt. to 1,250,000 cwt.

"Two generations ago the United Kingdom derived only a very limited range of its requirements from over- sea parts of the Empire. The 50th anniversary of the first shipment of frozen meat from Australia will take place towards the end of the year, while New Zealand's meat trade be- gan only in the 80'svx Fifty years ago only small quantities of butter and cheese came from the southern do- minions; the tea industry of Ceylon was no more than a few years old; Canada had not yet begun to evport apples, and no pears, plums, peaches or grapes came from South Africa.

T. CHAMPION, Can. Press Staft Correspondent) London, Aug. 9.--If you were upon the Thames Embankment any night around seven o'clock you would sooner or later observe a small party of Guardsmen, with fix- ed bayonets, marching stolidly Citywards. Follow them, and you would find the Guardsmen--if they happen to be of the Scots Guards a piper plays at their head--tramp steadily past Temple Gardens, leave Blackfriars Bridge on the right, and continue to the end of Queen Victoria Street. This brings tne soldiers and anyone else who makes the same journey to the very core of the city--the wide space upon which faces the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange and the Mansion House. The soldiers march through one of the gateways of the Bank of England, which is closed directly after them. For 150 years the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street has peen guarded of nights by a company of Guardsmen. The other day Oliver Baldwin, the Socialist son of the Conservative ex-Premier, asked a question in the House of Commons on the subject. "How much does the bank pay for the services of the Guardsmen?' asked Mr. Bald- win, junior. Rt. Hon. Thomas Shaw, secret- ary for war, replied the bank paid nothing. He explained the Bank of England acts as banker for the government, is responsible for the register of government loany, and has also the custody of the gold re- serves of the country. : "Ig it a fact thet governors of the Bank of England provide very adequate refreshment for these troops, and the service is & very popular one?" asKed Commander J. M. Kenworthy, Labor member. "I am not aware of what refresh- ments are provided," replied Mr. Shaw. "In view of the fact that this Guard no longer serves any useful purpose, will the right honorable gentelman consider the question of dispensing with it?" asked Ernest Thurtle, Labor member for Shore- ditch. "I am always ready to consider any suggestion made by any mem- ber, and if a proposition is put be- fore me I will give it due consid- eration," replied the war secretary. It is hardly likely, though, that genial "Tom" Shaw will be moved easily to do away with the bank = rd. It may be stated--unoffici- ally but on authority--guard duty at the bank is very popular with the troops. The guard consists of 36 rank and file under the com- mand of a sabaltern. The spell of duty lasts for 12 hours. The sa- baltern in command of the guard is permitted to invite a friend to dinner, and the men are well look- ed after, The Bank of England covers a wide area, and the number of sentries posted is not large. In these *days of underground bomb-proof vaults and safes, and considering that it would probably take a brigade of burglars. a week to penetrate merely to within the outer walls. of the Bank of Eng- land, the real utility of the bank guard may legitimately be doubted. But the governors of the bank like to continue . the old custom, the soldiers like the duty and the peo- ple of London like to point out the Zo the New Star the UX 201-C RADIOTRON Powerful , Durable Leconomical~uses only Xo amp. Saves TH of Battery recharging CONFIDENCE MAN ROBS PASSENGERS Affable Stranger Steals Sav- ings from Home-Goers Montreal, Aug. 9.--There 18 a confidence trickster boarding liners leaving here and relieving inno- cent home-goers of their hard-earn- ed savings. Police sent round to liners in port a description of a man In brown who has made a big haul. The purser of one liner immediate- ly had notices printed on the ship and placed everywhere warding passengers to change money or hand excess passage money only to the purser's office. That night, when the liner was preparing to sail, a man came from the third class quarters and said a man in brown had gone away with $400, the whole of his savings. to bed and put out the light. While {he was lying awake the man in brown eame in with a bundle of notes in his hand. "Here's your money, Mr. said the man in brown, Then he stopped and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought it was ME rn Money Changer The man in brown went away and returned shortly afterwards to the young man's room and asked him if he would like to have mon- ey changed as he would lose $30 if he changéd his money in the Old Country, The young man got up and dressed and went to the purs- er's office which, as the tricks- ter knew, was closed. "Just a second," said the tricks- ter, 'I will see whether the other office 18 open. He went down- stairs and returned saying, "Yes, it's open, give me your money." He took $400 in notes and disap- ipeared. The young man waited and then told the first officer he saw. Police arrived in a motor-cycle combina- tion. near the gangplank, but he was nowhere to be seen now. Asked why he gave his savings to a man not in uniform the young man said he "thought it would be all right." He was mystified by the new atmosphere of a liner and all its ramifications. Police are watching for the man, who is about 42 years and about b feet 7 inches. They do not expect to find him in a brown suit. 'WALKING SHADOWS' IN THE CONGO Effect of Motion Pictures on African Native Described Toronto.--A new understanding of the amazement and eagerness of an audience seeing the movies for the first time is depicted in a letter from the heart of Africa. Mr. Stegall is connected with the American Pres- byterian Congo Commission. In this letter Mr, Stegall tells an unusual story of a motion-picture theatre in the Valley of the Kasai. A night in the dark of the moon is selected for the performance because in the tropics the moonlight is so brilliant as to seriously interfere with the showing of the pictures. The stage is outlined by two palms trees, between which is stretched a sheet sufficiently thin to allow the pictures to be seen from the back side as well ds the front, In fact, Mr, Stegall says that far more peo- ple see them from the back than from the front. From the back the titles will, of course, appear reversed and so cannot be read, but one of the audience can read English, and so He said the trickster talked to him and then the young man went the titles dre as intelligible from one side as from the other. The man in brown had been | 2) GEN. J. A. CLARK, M.Y" For Vancouver-Burrard since 1921, who announces that he will not be a candidate in the next fed- eral election. The audience of natives sits on the grass. It reaches far back into the jungle, Five years ago these people had never seen a motion picture. When the first one was thrown on the screen it meant nothing to them; it seemed to them to be simply a maze of shadows walking on.the sheet. They called them "walking shadows," and the name has clung to them ever since, However, when Mr. Stegall was able to show them a film depicting animals which were familiar. to them: a baboon, an ele- phant, a lion, a dog and a crocodile, they quickly recognized these famil- iar objects, and, with this as a basis they learned to "see" the pictures. Another unique feature of Mr, Ste- gall's motion-picture shows is that he is very careful not to advertise them. This is to prevent the whole country-side from turning out on a given night and causing a stampede as has occurred occasionally, Mr, Ste- gall feels that his audiences are now ready to understand pictures of real educational value, such as will tell the jungles, Light gives a shadow; and, in this imperfect state, every good seems to bring into play some evil.--Robert Southey.
