Using The Canadian Route It is pleasing to mote that Canadian shippers of grain are at last realizing that they owe a duty to Canadian transporta- tion systems and water route. It has be- come very noticeable that in recent weeks a much larger proportion of Canadian grain has been shipped by the all-Canadian route than formerly, Whereas Buffalo used to get more of the Canadian grain than did 'Canadian ports, the reverse is now the case, according to figures of ship- ments for the last few weeks. For instance, in the last week of July, over 7,550,000 bushels of grain were ship- ped from the head of the lakes. Of this, only 1,490,000 bushels went through Buf- falo, the bulk going through Canadian ports. This is of much importance to the gen- eral welfare of Canada. It means greater business for Canadian terminal and trans- portation companies, and additional em- 'ployment for Canadian harbor workers and others who are dependent on trans- portation for their livelihood. During the same period, out of 8,218,000 bushels of grain shipped down the lakes, 1,936,000 bushels went through Buffalo, so the change in the trend of grain shipping is very marked. This trend should be continued. There is no reason why Canadian facilities should not be used exclusivey in the handling and shipping of the Canadian wheat crop, and in following this practice, shippers will be doing something to improve the employ- ment situation in their own country. Playing Politics With The Conference It is unfortunate that partisan writers and newspapers are allowing politics to play a large part in their reports and com- ments on the Imperial Economic Confer- ence. This is becoming more and 'more apparent as the days go past, and the difference of opinions expressed in some of the newspapers is so marked as to give rise to the belief that there are deliberate efforts being made to minimize the success of the conference, and, in effect, to cripple its work. : * An instance of this was seen the other day, when a newspaper not friendly to the government came out with an article by one of its special writers, charging that there was serious disagreement between British and Canadian delegates over Mr. Bennett's offer to Great Britain. A news- paper friendly to the government, appar- ently antfcipating this, came out at the same time with an article which expressed the opposite view, and indicated that the British attitude towards the Canadian proposals was quite friendly. This difference of views is very confusing to the people of Canada. How are they to know which story to believe? What is more important, these statements telling of rumors of disagreement are bound to have a harmful effect on the conference. No matter how strongly they are denied, they are liable to sow seeds of discord which may blossom forth into failure for the con- ference. : In view of this situation, the people of Canada can only wait and see what results from the conference, when it may, per- haps, be possible to judge the results with- out having to wade through a mass of arguments and theories impelled only by political partisanship. Gold Supporting Canada One of the reasons why Canada has, in reality, suffered less from the'world's econ- omic depression is that her mineral wealth has maintained a steady growth during these depressing years. This is particularly true of the products of the gold mines of the country. It is, we believe, quite true to say that but for the steadily increasing production of gold from: the mines in this country, Canada would be in a much worse position than she is today. 3 Through all the depression of the last three years, the gold mines have kept on increasing their output. It is now esti. mated that in 1932 these mines will pro- duce gold valued at $50,000,000. There is never any lack of a market for this product. It is being sold every day at a premium, based on the rate which New York is pay- ing for it in American funds. In May of this year, the gold production of Ontario alone was over $4,000,000. In the first three months of the year, On- tario's mines produced gold worth over $11,100,000, an increase of a million and a quarter dollars over the same period of last year. In five months, Ontario's gold mines have netted in the neighbourhood of $19,000,000. : This is new wealth, dug up out of the ground in Canada. It has been largely responsible for the fact that conditions in Canada, bad as they may seem, are so much better than they are in the United States. One million dollars a week in new wealth is no inconsiderable sum for a new country like Canada, particularly when it is considered that this comes from only one branch of the great mining industry. Canada's future is to a large extent linked up with gold production. It is estimated that within another decade the annual production will exceed $100,000,000, double the present output. These seem like fabulous figures, yet experts consider them by no means beyond the bounds of possi- bility. Why should there be any fear for a country which, in one branch of mining alone, can produce such wealth? Editorial Notes Oshawa's yachtsmen are learning rapid- ly. They made a good showing in Kingston on Saturday. May they do even better this coming week. E. A. Lowry's views on the hydro-electric rates situation in Oshawa would be more convincing if they were not so bitterly partisan. It is denied that Eamon De Valera has recalled the Irish Free State delegates to the Imperial Conference. But since he is 80 anxious to be clear of the British Em- Ms, it is a wonder that they are there at all. Western wheat is reported to be of a very high grade this year. And since there is an abundance of it, and the price looks like rising, the effect on Canada's prosperity should be very helpful. Oshawa again has a camp of marathon swimmers training for the C.N.E. races. Will an Oshawa trained swimmer win the big race this year? | Other Biktor's Comments KEEP HYDRO SQUND (Hamilton Spectator) It is reported that the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario has under consideration a $2,000,000 extension to its administration building on University avenue, in Toronto, Construction of such a building at such a time is bound to give rise to the suspicion that funde Which in the last an- alysis beyong to all the Hydro municipalities of Ontario and for which the commission is mercly the trustee, are being spent more for the purpose of providing employment in Toronto than of meeting any pressing needs of the 'Hvdro-Electric Commis- sion. There is one very real danger which the people of Ontario must not overlook in connection with their great power svstem, and that is danger of having to sell it out holus-bolus to liquidate the debts of Hydro municipalities. In several Western Canadian towns which at one time owned their light, heat and power utilities this has already hap- pened. If ever the Hvdro-Eletric Commission lets itself get into anything like the position of the Na- tional railways through unwise expenditures in over expansion as a conseauence of which the wholesale rate to the municipalities rises to the point where the ultimate rate to the consumer will be as g gat or greater than the rates charzed by privately-own- ed power companies elsewhere, its position will indeed be precarious. If the depression keeps up very much longer, the hardpressed taxpayers of towns which have a large surplus in their Hydro accounts might easily start a movement for the liquidation of the whole enterprise, applving the proceeds to the reduction of municipal debt and taxation. The Hvdro-Electric commission would be well-advised at the present time to keep its re- serves in something more liquid than new huildings and real estate on University avenue. BITS OF VERSE NIAGARA FALLS (By Molly Bevan in The Blue Bell) All sounds that waters make are musical; The elfin chuckle of a woodland stream, The soft rain-patter of a fountains fall, The muted murmur that's a river's theme; Crash of great breakers and the lisping laugh Of lazy waves upon a twilit shore, Gurgle of springs that thirsty travellers quaff-- Niagara blends them in one mighty score, Songs of the waters of the world awake To haunt, in liquid notes, her rainbowed spray, All cadences of river. sea and lake Her isle-divided torrents do essay; To reach in that last plunging ecstacy, The zrand finale of the symphony. BITS OF HUMOR _ The small boy was very intently playing with his tin soldiers, a ceremonial parade being in pro- gress, when from the next room came his mother's voice, saying, "Come here a minute, darling." The young commander was as a rule an ideal leader of men, in that he was himselt well disciplined, and so his mother was surprised when he failed to obey, "Didn't you hear me, Jack?" she called. "Oh, yes, I heard you the first time," was the aggrieved reply, but I do wish vou wouldn't let my soldiers hear you call me 'Darling.'" She: No one understands me." He: "No wonder, vour mother wag a telephone operator and your father was a train announcer." 1 to your eyes. oy C. H. Tusk, Ope.
