Says Mining Saved Canada in Dark Days In an address last week at Toronto Mr. S. H. Logan, president of the Canaâ€" dian Bank of Commerce, declared that the mining industry is the most stabiâ€" lizing and help influence in Canadian economy toâ€"day. It is his considered opinion that Canada was able to ride the wave of depression in safety, largely because of the advantage of the mining industry. Similar views have been exâ€" pressed in the past by people of the North and the South, but they are worth emphasizing at any time, and seem particularly timely when voiced by a man in the position of Mr. Logan. Speaking at the function in the Royal York to mark the appointment Of F. Hedley Marsh as general manaâ€" ger of the Bank of Toronto, Mr. Logan stressed the vital part played by the mining industry, particularly with reâ€" gard to the millions of dollars paid out in wages, its stimulus to other fields of endeavour, and its success in rolling back the frontiers and creating new areas of civilization. S. H. Logan Points to Part Played by Mining in Helpâ€" ing Canada. Mining men and leaders of finance attended the function, which was sponâ€" sored by the Tororco branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Meâ€" tallurgy. THURSDAY.

He spoke as one who has been interested in mining and associâ€" ateéed with mininz men for over thirty years, and as one who, during that same period, has been employed by a bank whose interests have been conâ€" nected with every branch om Canadian industry. Many Purchases "In the long run that which counts in the prosperity of this country is the financial perquisites of the industry, such as wages and their concimitant purchases, the materials, power and volume of freight utilized, agricultural supplies, clothing, eats; the impetus given to allied metallurgical, chemical and manufacturing industries; and the general stability which such a wideâ€" spread and varied industry imparts to the whole of our economic system. "The purchases made by the Canauâ€" dian mining industry are amazingly well distributed. Every phase of indusâ€" try in this country, including agriculâ€" ture is benefited to some degree," Mr. Logan continued. He spoke of the "glories of mining," and G@eclared he was convinced that "there are ahead of us great developâ€" ments in the next few years." "A large part of the mineralized area of Canada has only been sceratched," he went on. ‘"We have an army of prosâ€" pectors who will go throcugh anything to find the stuff. And we have a group of mining men and industrialists whose initiative is surpassed nowhere else in the world. How then can the future of the mining industry in this country be otherwise than great?" And in forecasting the developments to come, his thoughts went back to contrast that bright outlook with "the Branch Office Kirkland Lake Phone 398 | dark days of 1932, which were the worst in the memory of any living Canadian. "Cod knows we needed a friend then." Mr. Logan concluded. "We need one now. and we shali need one in the years to come, and 1 believe that we shall, as in the past find one of our greatest friends in the mining indusâ€" "My own firstâ€"hand experience ot minins in this country began in Oobait in 1906," Mr. Logan said, "three years after a Hich deposit of silver har, been discovored in the course of railroad construction and nearly 160 years afte: an carly surveyor had mapped the area and indicated the presence of silverâ€" lead only a few miles distant from th« present site of Cobalt. In the three decades that followed I have watched the of Canada‘s mineral outpui increase nearly sixfold from $79,000,000 in 1906 t> $457,000,.000 in 1937. Aggreâ€" gate production during those year: amounted to 6,500,000,000 or double the present net direct debt of the Dominton CGovernment. That, you will agréee, is a larce contribution t> the nattional welâ€" fare." (From Ottawa Journal) People who whistle while they work are advised not to apply o the Now York Sun for a Jjob. Things are come to a pretty pass, we agree, when a great ins‘itution of that type puts out a sign that no whisvlers need apply. But there are the facts and they can‘t be whistled away. a It seoems the Park Dopartment of New York City a cityâ€"wide whiscling contest, an undertaking the Sun felt very much akin to instructing youth to acquirs the bubonic plague. They whistled uptown and they whisiâ€" led downtown. They whistled everyâ€" where under the sun and apparencly leven into the ear of some Sun editor is . mm msMc n tm m m nc en enc mm hn Recalls Depression "Â¥You will recall that during the years which followed 1929 our exports of agriâ€" cultural products, chiefly wheat, which had been the very backbone of our forâ€" eign trade, fell to less than half their normal value, and the servicing of our large per capita debt was seriously jeopardized, "Enhanced by the increased value per ounce and the steadily rising output, gold production in 1933, the low point of the depression, amountel to over 84 milâ€" lion dollars, as against less than 40 milâ€" lion in 1929, and from that year on, as the general revival got under way, gold, along with other mineral products, notâ€" ably the base metals, played a decidedly important part in stabilizing our dollar and adding to our national integrity in the matter of debt payment capacity." "What came to our rescue? The few million dollars in gold which we were able to collect and ship each week reâ€" stored confidence. As the world was watching Canada each small shipment of gold to New York was naturally given great publicity and gradually creâ€" ditors both in England and the United States began to say, ‘Well, Canada is not broke yet. She can still ship some gold.‘ So the debt which we owe to that small stream of gold shipped in those days of our dire need will go down in history as one of our outstanding achievements. Considers Whistling as One of the Lost Arts even into the ear of some Sun gditor who doesn‘t like whistling. "We ars not inimical to the humble varietiecs of musical expression," he wrote.. "A street piano reciting the charms of Miss Rosis O‘Grady still rings pleasanily in the memory after the instrument itsoelf{ has been banned by a reform administration." He was even able to forgive the rubbish colâ€" lector who at five in the morning dropped an ash can providing he was singins with true Neapolitan melody "O Sole Mio!" "But the common or and cofâ€" fice whistler is about the lowest of all human insects. Anybody who would encourage him would encourage wWar, famine and an epidemic of the hives." And so still another threat to the chastity of che Statire of Liberty that guards Manhatian. It is a sorry piece of news when an editor sets his teeth into all whistlers, whether or no. New York, inseded, seems ranidly to be losing its rank. Dewey the great purgâ€" er was defeased, the elevated trains are to be torn down, the burlesque shows were closed (or moved) and the World‘s Fair is to be held in a swamp. Sole remaining vestige of New York‘s might is LaGiuardia‘s lovely gesture of putting Jewish policemen on duty to guard the German Consulate and proâ€" tect Nazis.
