This is announced today by Premier J. T. M. Anderson on the occasion of the province receiving ad- ministration and control of her lands, mines, forests, fisheries and water powers. "It will be necessary to have a careful and complete stock-taking of all the resources handed back to the province," stated .Dr, Anderson, "and that will be- started as soon as siblé, so that there may be no un- necessary delay in the formulation of governmental policies with respect to the future disposition of lands, for- ests, mines, etc." Considerable savings will be effect- ed by the province in the handling of the regources, the premier expects. "While much of our resources has gone, much remains," said the prem- r, rterring to the province's task of administering the remaining re-- sources to the greatest possible ben- efit of the people of Saskatchewan. "Our largest areas of agricultural land have already been disposed of. To a lesser degree, our forested areas have been depleted and used up--I do not think I am unfair in saying-- without consideration of the best ul- timate interests of the people of this province as a whole. "Our fishery resources have been ess extensively exploited," the prem- ier added. "We are only at the come mencement of our mineral develop- ment and the utilization of our mag- nificent northern water powers has just commenced, with the large hy- dro plant at Island Falls on the Churchill, this fall." Many and im- portant considerations, he held, were' involved in the policy on developed and unalpenated resources. In the light of the province's claim for compensation for resources alien- ated prior to Saskatchewan's forma- tion in 1905, carcful study will be di- rected toward special .and grants and other concessions given to railways and other organizations; for the ben- efit of other parts of Canada, the premier said. The dominion govern- ment, he mentioned, is being asked to furnish a complete statement cov- ering all such grants or concessions, with the date and the reason there- ore, SUSPICIOUS CHINESE PREVENTS BURGLARY St. Catharines, Oct. 1--A suspic lous noise heard by a Chinese res- taurant man next door who noti- fled the police caused interruption of a robbery at Langley's fur store shortly after one o'clock this morn. ing.

(By Cansdian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Oct. 1.--8teel, automo- bile and aviation industries will be revolutionized if the discovery of beryl reported less than 100 miles northwest of Winnipeg prov- es of sufficient commercial value, leading authorities stated here ro- day. Prediction was also made ihat British and United States intecosts will furnish keen competitin for contre! of the mineral from °"vhich is derived the metal beryllinm, which is about half the weight of ammun "and 'thide" times os strong. It has the quality of tran- smitting both its lightness and its strength to its alloy. The addi- tion of two percent beryllium to ordinary iron increases the strength of the alloy three-fold, while four percent added to iron produces a metal on a par with the hest heated steel, metallic experts claim. Dr. T. L. Walker, professor of mineralogy at the University of Toronto, sald the showings of beryl on the Huron claim in Mani- toba are the largest and most pro- mising he has seen anywhere in the world. He has just completed an Inspection of the property with W. P. Jacob. field scientist of the Beryllium Development Corpora- tion of America. With the discovery of lLeryl In Manitoba, it is reported powerful interests are preparing {> wage a stern battle for eontcol, ny the deposits are bhelleved to he valn- able enough to warrant commercial porduction. The owners of the mine are understood to be desirous of having British interests develop and control the new mineral weaith of the dominion, but strongly tack- ed interests in the United States, {ncluding one of the largest motor corporations in the world, are pre- paring to bid high for the deposits. A widely known German engineer- ing: firm is also seeking control of the mineral. A syndicate of British bankers, it 'has become known, has had ex- perts inspect the claim and a re- port on its extent and commercial prospects will be submittel to the Imperial Economic Conference, that commences soon in London.

Says Dominions Independent Acting Premier of South Af- rica Claims Right to De- cide on Peace or War Somerset, South Africa, Oct, 1. ~'"The independence of South Africa and other dominions should be regarded as a matter finally settled," argued Hon. D, F. Malan, acting prime minister, in speaking today before the congress of the Nationalist party. "Even more important than the right of secession, which must be taken as something to be finally settled by our own parliament," said Dr, Malan, "is the question of peace and war. South Africa possesses the fullest right to main- tain neutrality, in'an international sense. We do not believe in the doctrine of the unity and the in- divisibility of the crown which would place the King in a posi- tion to automatically drag indepen- dent nations into war which they, themselves, had not decided to declare", The acting prime minister de- clared the union was boundlessly thankf=l for the recognition of in- dependence but he added: 'Now, in my opinion, the imperial con- ference ceases to perform | any function", Dr. Malan depreciated, as un- necessary, the formation of groups within the Nationalist party such as the Republican "cave", the in- dependence of the country having been settled.
