Voice of the Press Canada The Empire and The World CANADA Lausanne Marks Time It appears unlikely that Britain's plea for complete cancellation of war debts and reparations will bo accepted t Lausanne oven within the limits of the powers of that conference. The greatest obstacle In the way of final and full agreement at Lausanne is tho uncertainty over the attitude of th.- fnit.-d States. The Government of the latfer country has already served notice that the Hoover mora- torium will not be extended beyond July 1 of this yoar. While there Is a general suspicion that that attitude i< dli i;i'.>d race by the exigencies of th- ]i,.'.iii-.il situation In the United States than by determined permanent policy, it cftYitively precludes serious final discussion of the whole Question until after the Presidential election. No one Imagines that tho Continent- al Europvan nations will attempt to : payment to Washington un- less and until (Jet-many resumes pay- ment to them. Britain has already de- clared that she will resume payments, regardless of receipts from her own debtors, if the United States so de- mands. Hut there is a vast difference between willingness to pay and ability to pay in the face of virtual tempor- ary world bankruptcy. U is noteworthy that, while the HIIUVIT moratorium officially ends on July 1st, no further Instalments on war-debt accounts are due at Wash- ington until December. Before then the Presidential election will be over. Tho chief Executive of the United will then be able to act, in ac- per lncroaaTnirjrJlh Hi" years. Lon- don Dally KxiJress. Industry On Trial Tho economics of to-day as taught by the orthodox are out of date, be- cause they were meant for a world situation In which famine and scarcity were the normal conditions and in which mankind was engaged in a fierce struggle against the forces of nature. Men had to save and hoard and put by for a rainy day. But now modern science and industry, with bet- ter means of transport and communi- cation, have removed the spectre of famine and want. The need now Is to spend, consume, and thereby use up the overflowing abundance which every civilized community can pro- duce. The test of whether our pre- sent civilization will survive depends upon our solving t':e mo-lent problem of underconsumption In a world ma- terially richer than ever before. Is mankind really to sit down and starve because of lack of leadership and courage In the Invisible government!! of high finance^ or will the common sense of the common people demand that a way out of the apparent im- passe bo found?

A warm and moist summer favors the in- crease of animal parasites. Watch for the signs of lung worm (a husky cough) in la.nbs, calves and pigs. Inflated animals should be isolated, and given extra care. See bulletins 337 and !!40, Ontario Department of Agriculture. The best protection against worm infestation, is obtained by the raising oi tho young t.tock on clean ground, or in clean building?, away from older animals. Good feed- ing is important, because high vitality is an aid in protecting animals against parasites. High vitality can only come from the liberal use of feeds contain- ing all the essential food substances.

Australia; Camel Corps Holds First Reunion Since World War Sydney. Australa. Australia's mem- bers of the Camel Corps, who took part in the desert campaign against the Turks durliiK the World War, have held a reunion, tho first since the force was disbanded in 1!1S. a brief stay In British Columbia, Arthur Mallcy'a Australian Cricket Team is scheduled to play five matches In On- tario. On Wednesday and Thursday, June 29-30, a twelve a side two-day match found tho visitors engaged by an "All Toronto" team, and on the holiday a strong "Eastern Canada" team opposed the Anssies In another two-day fixture For both matches the very flue Toronto Cricket Club grounds at Armour Heights furnished the "terra flrma." This la the, third visit Ontario has received from a tour- ing Australian team, but In view of the coming of Don Bradman, holder of the world's batting records, never before has such tremendous interest and enthusiasm been manifested. To accommodate the anticipated re- cord attendance for a cricket match in Toronto it was necessary to set up stands which provided seating for over 5000 people. Substantial parking area adjacent to the grounds, without extra charge, special bus service con- necting with Yonge Street cars, re- freshment marquees and every pos- sible provision toward catering to the large concourse on hand, If only to see the world famed Bradman bat. was included* in the preparations for the stellar event. The most picturesque personality in the* brilliant group of Australian cricketers to be seen during the On- tario tour is of course, Don Bradman. Regarded In American sports talk as the "Babe Ruth of Cricket," his great- est achievement was the amassing of 452 runs, not out, in 450 minutes, two years ago, when he was but 21 years old. Already he has created alx world's batting records, a dozen test match records and in the realm of first class cricket he Is credited with a score more. The "crowded firmament of cricket" has never before displayed so meteoric a rise In sheer brilliance of batsmanship as this youthful visit- or from the Antipodes who as a mem- ber of the "goodwill tour" team, hail- ed as a happy band of ambassadors, is also enjoying his honeymoon on this continent. The limelight which has been fo- diverted a great deal of deserved at- tentlon from the other members o( the visiting team. They are a color- ful group of players. Victor Richard- son, the captain. Is the only player to captain his State In both cricket and football. He represented bis state against Victoria In baseball. Ho is a first class lacrosse and tennis player, a runner of no mean ability; In fact, one of Australia's foremost all-round athletes. Richardson was vlcc-captalo during the victorious tour of England In 1930, and both as a sound batsman and brilliant fielder (at "mid off" or "silly point") Is Incomparable. T summarize tho special accomplish- ments of the remaining members of the team, Kippax is the "stylist of the cricket world" who bats magnificent- ly and bowls quite effectively; Me- Cabe, only 21 years old, Is an out- standing "all-rounder" who can score quickly and bowl in deadly fashion. Carter, the wlcket-kepeer. Is the vet- eran of the group of players and still an uncanny artist behind the "sticks" as well as an audacious batsman. Fleetwood-Smith and M-ailey are, re- spectively, left hand and right hand bowlers. The former is making, it seems, a name whlcb the latter has already achieved for "googly" bowl- ing. Messrs. Tolhurst, Nutt, Ires, Rofe and Carney are the lesser lighu on the team but they have each per- formed prominently in Inter-state cricket. After the two matches in Toronto, the Australian team journeyed to Guelph for the centenary celebration of the Guelph Cricket Club on July 4th and to St. Catharines, where they play two days on July 5-6. The balance of the tour takes them to Montreal, July 7-9; Ottawa July 11-12; and there- after to New York, Detroit, Chicago, Winipeg, Regina, Moose Jaw, Saskv toon, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. The tour will be concluded In Cali- fornia, where Santa Barbara, . San Francisco and Hollywood stage matches from August 20 to 28. On the R.M.S. Monowai the team embarks at San Francisco on the return trip of 7000 miles to Sydney, Australia. Cuba'. Earthquake Record! Guard Fish Streams Havana.

But how does sawdust, for instance, do harm to fish life? it has evil effect in two ways: By covering spawning beds it prevents the hatching of live fis-h from the eggs and, in the .second place, it kills live fish by getting into their gills or breathing apparatus, Other kinds of waste for instance, seepage from certain classes of indus- trial plants are also injurious to fish life. It is because c: these injurious consequences upon natural resources which it is so important to conserve that the Department of Fisheries re- quire that its officers in areas where the fisheries are under federal admin- istration shall make careful inspection of mills, etc., along streams frequented by fish and check any operators who may thoughtlessly be allowing saw- dust or other refuse to fall into the water. Steps of this kind are of im- portance from the standpoint of fish- erics conservation, and conservation is essential in the interests of commer- cial fishermen and anglers alike. In most cases where refuse from an industrial establishment is reaching a fish stream the condition is willingly and promptly remedied by the oper- ator when the fisheries i-tspector draws it to his attention. If this does not happen, however, prosecutions may be instituted under the Fisheries Act which provides that "no person shall cause or knowingly permit U pass into, or put or knowingly permH to be put, lime, chemical substances or drugs, poisonous matter, dead or decaying fish, or remnants thereof, mill rubbish or sawdu t or any other d leterious substance or thing, whe- ther the same is jf a like character t the substances named in this section 01 not, in any water frequented by fish." - > Walr-Power Sites in Canada The developed and undeveloped water-power sites of the Dominion of Canada are estimated to have a ca- pacity of 20,347,000 horse-power under conditions of ordinary minimum flow, or 33,017.200 horse-power ordinarily dependable at least six months of the year. % To See "Hiawatha" Played The two daughters of the Poet Longfellow have been Invited by the city council to be the guests of the Sault. during the presentation of the Hiawatha Indian play during Walt Week.
