Second Section--P. 11-22 ---- REGULAR SUPPORT OF VETCRAET SHOPS Annual Output Not Suffic- ient to Provide Steady Employment Montreal June 8.-- Among organizations to aid war veter- ans are the Vetcraft Shops, Montreal, where disabled men are glven employment suitable to their individual abilities. There are sev- en such workshops throughout the Dominion, one of which is in Mon- treal. Here at the present time 46 men are employed in work such as the manufacture of light furniture and toys. But the chief occupation of the factories is the making of poppies for distribution on Arm- istice Day. It is hoped to extend this work so that the men may be employed throughout the year. This is' work that any man can do immediately on entering the fac- tory, without any previous training and even when nearly totally dis- abled. It is found also to be an ex- cellent rest cure for the men who are able to work for perhaps only a week or little more at some heav- ier task. Of the 46 men employed in the Montreal Vetcraft shops at present, the directors would like to be able to keep 20 constantly en- gaged on poppies. This they are unable to do. Last year in the whole Province there were sold only 160,000 poppies and 2,600 wreaths. Most of these were sold in Montreal and all of them were made here. That quantity is quite insufficient to keep more than a few men constantly employed and the result is that the workshop can- not provide enough light tasks for those men whose physical handi- caps unfit them for long spells of work at heavier tasks, More than 1,000,000 poppies were made and sold last year in Toronto, with its 600,000 inhabitants, The Toronto Veteraft Shop made more than 700,000 poppies and sold them in the city and district. This work- shop, which employs only 20 dis- abled soldiers, is able to keep many of them employed exclusively on poppy work and they are also able to draw men from other occupations who have become fatigued. The poppies made in the work- shops are sold to the Canadian Leg- fon and its kindred associations and the profits go for the alleviation of distress amongst discharged soldiers. Mrs. A. J. Frieman, of Ottawa, is sponsoring the extension of the work and an appeal is being made through- out Canada for its extension. . Nations are beginning to see a relationship between a keen moral gense and keen common sense, --w Kingston Whig-Standard.

Sir William, who is making his first trip to the Maritime Provinces since his arrival in Canada nine months ago, addressed the annual banquet of the Canadian Manufacturing. As- sociation Wednesday night, Sir William said he did not think Great Britain need be too anxious because many countries of the em- pire produced manufactured goods. No manufacturing country, however, diversified its production, was ev- cr wholly sclf-supporting, he said, Germany before the war, then Great Britain's most dangerous competitor, was the second largest importer, sec- ond only to India--of British goods. The United States, he supposed now the largest industrial producer in the world, was Great Britain's third best customer today, India and Australia coming first and second. "Every country has its special fa- cilities, its special aptitudes," Sir Wil- liam said. "Much of their respective production can dovetail, so to speak, into one another without conflict of interest." The tide of British trade has turn- ed indeed, the high commissioner said. The process was slow, the effort lab- orious, the results perhaps unspee- tacular to the casual observer from without, "But," he added, "none the less the movement is there and is in the direction we would wish; and knowing that, we may look forward with confidence to the day when the full flood will come pouring in, carry- ing our fortunes back once more 10 the old marks and past them, I hope, to heights yet unattained. After his recent visit to British Columbia and now back to Canada's eastern coast, Sir William said he could not but receive an emphatic impression of Canada's tremendous achievement and of the yet greater promise which lies before her in the future, "The peculiar strength of Canada's position lies, I would venture to sug- gest, in the well adjusted balance be- tween agriculture and industry in her economic tife, Sir William said. "Each side by side has developed im- mensely in the last two decades...., Canada has long ceased to be a pure- ly agricultural country, she has made immense strides in her industrial production; but, at the same time, she has been wiser than we have been in the United Kingdom, she has not allowed her manufactures to progress at the expense of her basic indus- try of agriculture, the backbone of her economic system. She has held a true balance between them all these years, and, if she continues on that path, she has indeed a great future before her." After reviewing Great Britain's economic vicissitudes and her power to recuperate through her long his- tory, Sir William said the collapse of the post-war boom in 1921 caused a reaction greater than any known in the past. "Yet," he continued, "just as hap- pened afterf the Napoleanic wars, the process of rebuilding began at once, timony indeed to the elec- tricity ad power of 'recuperation of our trade that it should have begun as it did to recover from the first shock of the collapse. Steady progress was made in those first three or four years. Our financial position was gradually restored and the pound sterling brought back to parity in 1925 without serious disturbance to our trade, Our trade itself was being gradually rebuilt to meet the changed conditions of the times and the com- petition which had sprung up during QUAKER STATEM ENTS : wiil be well for thee to know there is an extra quart in every gallon of Quaker State Motor Oil.

Arrica, About 80 per cent. of diamond production is bought an- nually by the United States, says John F. Sinclair in the Cape Town Argus, writing about the diamond industry, He states that the prices for the medium grade and smaller gems are from 30 to 60 per cent. above pre-war value, but the phen- ominal demand for the largest and finer stones has sent prices away up from 100 to 150 per cent higher than they were before the war. "Probably no industry in the world is more highly concentrated and closely controlled than is that deal- ing with the production and distri- bution of diamonds," Mr. Sinclair says. "The first syndicate of dia- mond producers was formed in 1888. This controlled the production effec- tively until 1925; then the London Syndicate was formed to carry on, "It has had its troubles. 'In 1926 the Lichtenburg diamond fields were discovered and the world mar- ket was threatened by too many diamonds. The South African Gov- ernment, realizing the danger, enact- ed the Precious Stones Act, in 1927, to limit. and control the output. Since then a new district, the Nama- qualand, south of the Orange rover and near Alexander Bay in South Africa, has opened up one of the finest alluvial diamond fields ever discovered, but as it is entirely on Government land it is controlled ad- equately by the Government. And profitably, too, it may be added. "The National Bank of Commerce says the diamond trade in the Un- ited States is working for a reduc- tion of duty on unset cut stones to 10 per cent, and the placing of rough stones on the free list, thus making smuggling unprofitable, If this is done, and the generally pros- perous condition of this country con- tinues, there is every reason to be lieve that the diamond business will show a healthy growth, and that the price of gem diamonds will continue to advance, the bank says.

Bell, president vt the Lockeport Co., Ltd., as the opinion of the fish producers of the Nova Scotia South Shore, west of Halifax, arrived at in the course of recent meetings at which the Fed- eral Government's plans for imple- menting the rocemmendations of the Fisheries Commission were dis- cussed. Agreeing that the aboli- tion of trawlers, as recommended by the Commission, would mean increased prosperity to the shore fisheries of Nova Scotia, the West- ern shore fish firms "cannot sub- sceribe to a policy which might 1n any way restrict development and improved methods of fishing," nor do they favor a measure restricting the number of trawlers 'to those now operating, pointing out 1i1nat this would place the firms now owning trawlers in a position of au- vantage, The solution of the problem, the shore fish firms say, is the adop- tion of the policy of according free landings to Canadian built craft only, thus preventing excess trawl- er development, by reason of a ne- cessarily doubled or trebled invest- ment, compared with that involved in bringing second hand foreign- built trawlers into this country and putting them under Canadian registry. "Under such restriction as we suggest," the statement continues, "the man or firm who wishes to engage in trawling off this coast? will think twice before engaging in such a venture; and even if under- taken, will, so far as relative costs of production are concerned, be on a basis exactly similar to that of his smallest competitor--the indi- vidual fisherman who must per- force have his boat and equipment built and supplied in this country.' The suggestion that the number of trawlers be restricted to those now operating ig referred to as "a policy suggested by the present trawler interests, which would per- mit them to.cateh fish by one meth- od, but at the same time deny the other established firms in the nsp PROMINENT LAWYER DIES H. 8S. Lees, well-known Hamilton lawyer, died at his home yesterday, business the right to compete by the same method; the effect of such restriction would simply be to place largely in the hands of a United States Corporation operating out of the ports of this province a monop- oly, the money value of which would be hard to compute but which would obviously result to their great profit and advantage to the disadvantage and loss of all bona fide Nova Scotian firms engag- ed in the fishing industry." "Leave the industry free and un- trammelled to experiment, develop, or advance along any new or moa- ern method," the statement con- cludes, "but see that such develop- ment--if it must take place--does go on a relatively fair basis. "The free landing of fish in Ca- nadian ports must be confined to fish caught znd landed by Cana- dian-built craft. If all patriotic Nova Scotians and Canadians will rally round such a policy the prob- lem of our shore fisheries will soon be solved." A message giving the stand of the Western shore fish firms and asking a duty of not less than one cent a pound on fish landed from vessels of other than Canadian build, has been despatched to Ot- tawa. 'Such a policy," it is point- ed out, "is not only Canadian in spirit, purpose and effect, hut is exactly the same as the policy in force in the United States; and can, therefore, find no reasonable or sound objection from any Unit- ed States interests who may have investments in the fishing industry in this province."
