A RUSSIAN VIEWS OF GANADA GIVEN Canada Most Naive of All of Soviets Montreal--In the Russian estima- tion Canada is the most naive of countries. - In time of prosperity she goes ahead at full blast without thought for the future. When the greatest wheat exporting country in the world was removed temporarily from - the market and Canada stepped in to take that position, she did so without the slightest halt to consider that the conditions were indeed temporary and that at some future date she might be relegated again to a secondary standing. And Russia is convinced that when the time comes she can gasily defeat this . of countries at the wheal ng game. Such insight into the Russian nt was given in the course of a recent interview here by Lau- rance Lyon, Canadian-born M.P., for Hastings, England, from 1918 to 1921, and author me Pomp of Power," "The Fruits of Folly" and other works of political observation character. Mr. Lyon spent some cleven months in Russia last year for the purpose of observation of Soviet methods and has gathéred much first-hand information on the subject. . "This naivete of Canada is fur- ther exemplified," he said, "in fact that only now the West is turning to mixed farming, when it has be- come obvious that wheat is not what it used to be. If mixed farm- ing is good now, it was always good, and it ought" to have been intro- duced ten years or more ago when its introduction could have been managed much more easily." Turning to Russia, Mr. Lyon said that there was a great gap between the older generation of communists, those in power, and the younger generation. "Those in power now were not born Communists," he said, "they have struggled hard for what they now have and appreciate it all the more so. They spent their early years in miserable lodg- ings in Bloomsbury or Geneva, talk- ing as only Russians can talk, and envisioning the time that was to come. They have obtained more from Communism than ever they dreamed, On the other hand the young generation were born Com- munists knowing . nothing of the carly struggles of the forebears. They are an arrogant, pigheaded lot to whom Communism does not mean so much as to their parents, "But Russia will never get rid of her Communism. Where the peo- ple had nothing before, they have something now; if they have no mo- ney it is equally true that they have nothing to spend it on, and at the same time they do not see any more idle rich riding around in their car- riages. The leaders live with their families in small apartments. True, they have motor cars and free thea- tre tickets, but that does not make up for the ordinary amenities of society," Mr. Lyon said. Questioned as to the spread of Communism to the neighboring countries, Mr. Lyon thought that as Russia was so vast it would be many years before the whole country was established and running smoothly on satisfactory lines, and that the spread of the system in Europe would be necessarily slow. On the subjeét of war he was confident that Russia did not wish to fight in Man- churia. "Russia has too much on her hands at the moment to be div- erted by carrying on war, although the army is most impressive. I be- lieve that there is general miscon- ception as to the worth of Russian troops and a tendency to underrate them as fighters. It must be re- membered that we have gone a long way since the days of the Crimea when Russian troops had not even boots on their feet, or even the last war, when they were forced to fight without sufficient arms. "The cities of Russia are orderly and there is fittle of the daily hold- ups that enliven such cities as New ork and Chicago. The govern- ment has a monopoly on hold-ups as on everything else and takes what it wants when it wants it," said Mr. Lyon. Laurance Lyon was born in To- ronto and is the grandson of the late Rt. Hon. Sir. Henry Strong, P.C., Chief Justice of Canada. He practised the profession of law until 1905, since when he has resided in London and Paris. He was propri- ctor of "The Outlook" from 1916 to 1919 and was Conservative-Unionist member for Hastings, He is the au- thor of numerous books and essays of political trend and has been fre- quently confused with the late Har- old Begbie as "the Gentleman with a Duster."

Tolman told the National Academy of Science recently. "Why," said Profes- sor Tolman, 'the world might last forever." Professor Tolman's conclu- sions were reached through a series of studies in the field of thermodynamics. While he made no definite prediction, he seemed certain that the world was not in bad shape at all. "For several years," he said, "lI have been trying to develop the principles for an extension of thermodynamics to general rela- tivity, which would make it pos- sible to treat the thermodyna- mic behavior of system under circumstances where the gravi- tational field cannot be me- ~lected." "They suggest," he said, "that models of the universe can be conceived which would undergo a succession of (irreversible ex- pansions and contractions with- out the entropy reaching an un- surpassable maximum where further change would be im- possible."

George O. Squier, who was a research student in physics and electrical engineering under Row- land and Duncan in "the golden age" of John Hopkins University 40 years agh, told scientists from all over the country, at the last meeting of their three-day fall session at Yale University that electrical engineers are now able to superimpose carrier currents into multiples of 13 miloeycles on any 60 cycle power transmis- sion line, A new photographic map of the moon, which, in effect, reach- es out 25,000 miles from an air- plane view, was described to the scientists by F. BE. Wright and F. G. Pease of the Carnegie in- stitution of Washington. The photographs are being taken through the 100-inch Mt, Wilson observatory telescope, he said, and are transformed by a special method of projection so that in each photograph the moon'is viewed along the standard line of light normal to the plane of mean libration. When completed it will give astronomers a chance to answer an age-old question. Is the sur- face of the moon changing? Heretofore all moon maps were hand-drawn and the personal fac- tor of each artist was incorpor- ated into the drawing, The photographic map eliminates that, New York, N.Y.--Herbert Hoover is criticized for having "greatly al- armed' the country during the war by "dire prophecies" of a food shor- tage, in an autiography of William G McAdoo, Democratic Secretary of the United States from 1913 to 1918. The son-in-law of the late Woodrow Wilson, in a book just ublished which he calls "Crowded ears", also says of Mr. Hoover: "His chief distinction had been acquired in distributing free food to the Belgian people in 1915 and 1916--a celebrity easily won, I fancy, as I judge from long obser- vation that the job of giving away things requires very little wear and tear on one's ability, In another reference to Mr. Hoover, Mr. McAdoo tells how the administration during 1918 was keeping from the public, "for fear of its effect on the morale of the Allies", the fact that there was only a short supply of food left in Eng- land. and that rations had been re- duced ¢'l over Europe. "About the time conditions began to improve, through the work of the railroad administration," Mr. Mec- Adoo writes, "Hoover gave an as- tonishing interview," In it Mr. Mc- Adoo says Mr. Hoover declared the shortage was extremely serious and blamed the railroads. "At that time," the book con- Hoover Called Alarmist in Book Just Published tinues, "the railroad administration had the matter well in hand, and the problem was being solved rapid- ly. this, as he had every opportunity to be well informed." After declaring the interview al- armed the country, Mr. McAdoo says: "No doubt his (Hoover's) state- ment was Promptly communicated to Germany, through the secret news service of our enemies, and gave comfort to their waning hopes." Then he tells how, after an un- satisfactory exchange of communi- cations, Hoover appeared at his of- fice with "his legal adviser, Mr. Glasgow of Philadelphia". "Glasgow did all the talking," Mr, McAdoo writes, "Hoover sat with downcast eyes, like a ' diffident schoolboy. Beyond the greeting when he came in and his goodbye, I do not recall that he had anything to say." Mr. McAdoo takes a firm stand against cancellation of war debts. Amplifying an idea advanced by Lord Rothmere in 1919, he suggests Great Britain and France turn over to the United States their posses- sions in the West Indies and French Guiana, That would pay about half their debt, he says. New York, N.Y., November 20 -- Pictures of wartime rockets hurl- ing death and destruction at a dis- tance of from to miles were envisioned recently by David Lasser president of the American Inter- planetary Society. Speaking at a meeting of the so- ciety in the American Museum of Natural History, Lasser asserted that present-day artillery and other military instruments are becoming obsolete and will be supplanted by highly eéxplosive rockets which could easily level a large city and kill its inhabitants. Dwelling on the Dossibility of warships using this method at a safe distance from the shore, Las- Rockets Travelling 3,000 Miles an Hour from Ships May Batter Coastal Cities ser said: "Coast guns would be toy cannon in range compared to the naval roc- ket batteries. With their fixed pos- itions, forts would be easy targets. From compatative safety, warships with rocket shells could batter Bos- ton, New York, Philadelphia, Wash- ington, Richmond and the large forts of the Pacific." The speaker asserted that no tre- mendously heavy equipment is need- ed to shoot rocket shells at 30 miles an hour trom warships, as they carry their own propulsion. Further the present aeroplane is too noisv, must fly too low and gives ready warning an approach. New York, N.Y.--If you were in apcient Rome, and if you did as the ns did, come dinnertime, you would dine on--of all things-- chicken fricassee, vegetable plate and pumpkin custard.
