He did not attempt to exâ€" plain how that sentiment gibes with regimentation under the Securities Act. R., B. Whitehead. the new Securities Commissioner successor to Mr. Justice Godfrey, made an excellent impression as an earnest man who will likely prove equal to his admittedly difficult task. He refused at this early date to commit himself upon policies, but assured prosâ€" pectors and all others interested in mines that his door and ears would be ever open in their requests or grieyâ€" ances. After all, good horse sense is the most necessary requisite in handling such a job, and the new Commissioner gave evidence of having that in pien(y. We wish him luck! Hon. Charles McCrea received an enâ€" thusiastic greeting from the boys, testiâ€" fying eloquently to the affection in which he is held by every class indentiâ€" fied with the mining industry, for which he has striven so consistently and accomplished so much as former Minister of Mines for Ontario. No other man connected with the industry has a wider circle of sincere friends. Thayer Lindsley was a surprise part of the oratorical bill of fare and brought down the house with his proâ€" mise to see any prospector who called at his offices. In view of the instant clamour for appointments, beginning early the next morning, shouted from all parts of the house, he was compelled to modify the invitation by saying that it went upon condition that they asked _ for no since if he took on any more bets he might lose his own job. In spite of admittedly dull recent months, when prospecting and new enâ€" terprise have been at a low ebb, there was a prevalent fceling of optimism on all sides in the belief that this season wauld prove one of the best yet.

Japanese domination in the region of Hainan Island, moreover, would enable that nation to establish military airfields nearer to the Singapore Bass than would be altogether comfortable for the men charged with maintaining British interests in the famous "defence triangle" formed by Hong Kong, Singapore, and Port Darwin, in Australia. Within its three corners are some of the world‘s richest resources of iron, tin, rubber, copra, coffee and oil. For three white Powers, at least. those Union Jacks fying in the Malayan sunlight mean life or death. Through that "triangle" run the vital trade and food routes which form the jugular vein of the British Isles. e Inside it are Americanâ€"owned Philippines (shortly to achieve their independence), and the Dutchâ€"owned Indies.

Adroit prohibition propaganda leaves the impression that Ontario is the exception in its abandonment of prohibition and adoption of control. As a matter of fact, the Liquor Control Act of Ontario has its counterpart in various forms in Great Britain, all the British Dominions, the United States, Scanâ€" dinavia, South America and in six of the nine Provinces of Canada. As a further fact, the Control Acts of Ontario and the four Western Provinces are more restrictive than those of Great Britain, the United States, etc. Its purpose is to attain, progressively, a greater acceptance for true temperance through control â€" in the belief that external control exerted by the Government will ultimately induce a greater individual control and disciplineâ€"by which, alone, temperance can be attained. Literally, worse than no law at all, as reasonable men who remember the abuses of prohibition, will agree. 2 9 9 0 q4 9 9 0 9 9 9 0 9 9 2 0 0 9 9 9 9 9 9 o 9 9 2 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 "In the attempt to bring about total abstinence through prohibition, an evil even greater than intemperance resulted â€"namelyv, a nationâ€"wide disregard for law."
