EMPIRE STRONGER BY EDUCATION Empire ~~ (By The Canadian Press) London, Aug. 6.--The Prince of Wales' greeting to the dele- gates to the Congress of Univer- sities of the Empire in the Guild- hall, London, recently was a Roy- al welcome in more than one sense and it was received with evidence of hearty approval. His Royal Highness began his address as President of the Congress, Awhich held its business meet- ings in Edinburgh a few days la- ter) by reading a message which he had sent the King and his Mujesty's reply thereto, the one of loyalty and devotion and the other expressing pleasure and welcoming the 'delegates, especi- ally those from overseas. The Prince recalled the fact that the eight universities of a century ago had" become 53 by the time the first congress met, and the delegates now 'assembled or assembling come from 70 dit. ferent universities. Nearly 90 of them have crossed the seas to attend .the congress. The core of the Prince's sub- ject was the need for educated rien today, not only to fill high official posts everywhere in the British Empire, but to serve our commerce and industry---vital needs at home and abroad. In a special word of welcome to the overseas visitors he spoke of the "otifer and better tiles," among them the Universities, which, ha lL kedy to think, were displacing these more material links, now fast disappearing, which had bound the Empire together in the pest. "With the growth of our pupu- letion, our commerce, ani our national wealth has grown the reed for advanced education, un- til nearly every great city pos- resses its university," His Royal Highness said. "At the same time, the duties and responsibil. ities of universities have increas- ed in equal measure, The need ot men today is greater than ever. Year by year, as the scope of our activities increases, men are. called for in every part of of Empire, not only. to fill the higher offices, the services, and the Government and municipal' administrations, but to carry on the commerce and industry which are vital to our existence. Not only for the education of these men, but for their training and .for the formation of their char- acters, the universities are to a great extent responsible. At the same time, it is borne in upon us daily more clearly that the material progress of mankind will depend in an ever-increasing degree on the application of mod- ern science to modern industry. How this application can best be affected is, one of the many proh- lems which I know engage your constant attention. "Another question of a more domestic nature, which I imagine from my own experiences must sometimes perplex you, is how to fit time for a university train- ing into the life of the young man who intends to devote him- self to commerce or industry, and who is afraid of losing his start at the outset of a business career, when every month appears to count so much. The difficulty must be dnsuperable, I hope rot, because the more I travel the more convinced I am that the best brains and abilities are required for finance, commerce apd industry, and that those who in the different countries of the world .are endeavoring to main- tain and to strengthen British interests should receive the best possible training to prepare them for their task. "I particularly welcome the presence of so many /delegates from overseas, hecause the old concrete ties which joined our Empire together in the past are fast disappearing, and I like to think that they are being repla- ced by other and better ties, which, though less formal, less tangible, in Burke's words, 'though light as air as strong as links of iron.' Among . those 'links surely there can be none st or sounder than the ties 'of the Empire. We AL ot extent community of. an of Interests. This congress adds e advantage con- tact, and enables us To 'to- gether in and - nal intercourse, and to talk over. t common Sroheny leh beset us all, io as word, given us iy opportunity of cooperation quite as valuable an educa as it 1s, to my mind, in the other pr our 'es. And ft me that you have it in your aor not'only to con- trip the' tion of educa~ ticnal problems, but to strengty- er the organization and to draw closer the finest ties of Empise." | an by r ather hee paris "of the os nett announced | oh House ot ( in hd Yo by ©.

I warned the mmebers in order that they might be free from any connection with Beau- harnois or even the suggestion that they were being entertain- ed by its money. As leader of the Opposition I felt this was my duty amé I feel now more than ever that I acted rightly. "The Liberal party can have no alliance with Beauharnois or with any of those who participat- ed in its manipulations. The parliamentary inquiry has fallen far shoft of its objective. A roy- al commission is absolutely essen- tial to ferret out the whole af- fair to its remotest ramifications. Until this is done the Ontario Lib- eral Party must stand absolute- ly apart from all suspicion ia the matter. For this reason I have done a service to the Liberal members and to all Liberals in Ontario, who beliéye the party should stand for a full and com- plete judicial inquiry into the mutters raised by tha parliamen- tary committee of inquiry when I advised the members to refrain from attening Mr. Parker's lun. cheon on July 20th. "The Beauharnois episode wakes it apparent that the wtole Hydro situation in Ontario needs un investigation. Mr. John Aird Jr., who is alleged to have re- ceived $125,000 "ror: Beauhar- wole, has received $50,000 from the Hydro Commission. The contradictory statements made in regard to Elydro payment of $50,- 000 by those who bugkt to know the facts, are mot explained by the assurances of Rt. Hon. Arik- ur Meighen, commissioner and of Mr. Maguire, the pr2sident of the Ontario Hydro Municipal Associ- ation( and alsb a commisrioner. The statements made by them are not at all convincing ard no rea- sons are forthcoming in support 2% them.

The Beau- harnois contract, wien in opera- tion will add a further large sup- Ply of power purchases the Hy- dro Commission laid on our desks last session, a diagram showing twelve power lines from Quebec rnd the St. Lawrence leading into Leaside.

PACH: 304, |" Gn Jo "Ontario will have available in 1937, 2,000,000 horsepower of which nearly one-half will be pro- duced by private corporations and certainly not sold by them at a loss. Ontario will have to take or pay for this 891,000 horsepower and the cost of this and the long transmission lines as well as the cost of its own generating systems will all have to be taken care of in the bills of power users in 1937, no mat- ter what power remains lnused. On the day of Mr. Parker's lun- cheon I was on holiday, I visited the Queenston power plant which, according to the Hydro report has a capacity of 700,000 horse- bower. On that- afternoon there was being generated 250,000 horsepower at the plant of which 50,000 horsepower was being exported to the United States. The large plant of the Toronto Power Company, owned by the Hydro, was shut down. If all the Gatineau power purchased at $15 per horse power cannot be ab- sorbed while one of our generat- ing plants lies idle, and the larg- est of all is operating at much less than half its capacity, and at that is exporting 20 per cent. of its product--the question may pertinently be asked, what is go- ing to happen when Beazuharnois and other contracts are available for Ontarfo. Has Lifted The Vell. "The Bgeuharnois inquiry has lifted the veil a little, A contract by Ontario for 250,000 horse- power made it possible to sell the bonds. That contract was adver- tised as sufficient to enable the company to carry its interest charges on the whole undertak- ing. Ontario buys power at $15 per horsepower for 40 years in advance in view of the evidence at the inquiry are we getting at cost as was the original concep- tion of Hydro and as now healded by the comission? "The biggest question in pro- vincial affairs to-day is Hydro, and its return to its basic prin- ciple of power at cost to all the people of Ontario. The Beau- harnois episode has shown that the Government has departed en- tirely from tat basic principle. We are buying power at cost established by private enterprise, and the cost hag included, in the last case ot least more than the cost of generating electricity. Is Calling Caucus "These are my own views. They will be endorsed by many. I at calling the Liberal members together in a short time to dis- cuss this and other matters of concern, I cannot assisciate my- self or ask my fellow-members to associate themselves with any of those who have been identified in any way with the unsavory facts brought out in the recént inquiry, at least until the whole matter has been thoroughly prob- ed by judicial commission, and all the facts are fully known and thoroughly explained, and those now implicate are obsolved of all interest in the matter. "I anticipate a sharp reply from the: commission, but the time is past when statements will be accepted ss proof of facts and conditions. 'If: the whole Hydro situation is made a matter of thorough ' public inquiry by an independent Royal Commission, the people will know what the commission and the Government are doing and will learn whether they are getting power at cost, and also, what is equally impor- tant, just what enters into that cost. They will also learn they may have to carry the loss sus- tained by over-purcha ng, either by present 'generating plants ly- ing dormant and not making in- terest charges, or by paying for purchasing power for which no customers are available." IN Accord With In W. R. P. Parker, first vice-pre- sident of the Ontario Liberal As- sociation commenting on Mr, Sin- clair's new statement said: "I have not read Mr, Sinclair's statement but believe he now ad- mits. authorship of the notorious telegram asking Liberal mem- bers of the Legislature to remain away from a luncheon arranged by some of the members them- selves. "He 1s wrong in stating that I was host. As first vice-president of the Ontario Liberal Assocla- tion I was favited to the luncheon: as a guest. His statement that I was the host I must attrilbute, in | the words of the famous En Liberal leader, to 'a sitet teminologi- | cal inexactitude.' Sale i also JS derstand Mr, Sin- now asks for a Royal Com- mission to be appointed to scru- tinize all contracts ma € 'by the Hydro-Electric Power Commis i of Ontario with private pow- companies.

"I may re I understan: it has been the intention of | Mitchell F, Hepbu , M.P,, pen ii g a in his first public «Fo : delivered as will permit, to demand such an inquiry. "Liberals reading Mr. Sin- clair's statement will wonder why he did not make any proper ef- fort to oppose these agreements with private power, companies in Quebec when they were being en- tered into by the Ferguson Gov- ernment and the Hydro." AERONAUTS LOOK FOR GREAT THINGS National Association Makes Recommendations to U.S. Government Washington, Aug. 6.--Anair- minded nation. with planes and dirigibles encroaching on fields now dominated by land and water trans- portation, was envisaged in decla- rations adopted here recently by the National Aeronautic Associa- tion More than a score of resolutions called for expansion and encour- agement of aviation, both in the field of national defence and in civilian activities. As to national defence, some of the things the association recom- mended were: Construction of flying deck cruis- ers and more aircraft carriers up to the full treaty allowance for the navy. Congressional authorization of a new five year aviation development for the army. Encouragement from the navy for High speed development of air- or ft. Expansion of aviatioin in the Na- tional Guard, up to strength propor- tionate to air corps strength in the regular army, and allocation of in- creased War Department appro- priations for training reserve air corps personnel during the present fiscal year. In non-military categories the as- sociation recommended governmen- tal encouragement for aviation along lines similar to that extended to railroads and steamships in the past. Government subsidies for trans. oceanic air mail carriers were asked and it was suggested Congress should enact a "merchant airship act" modelled generally after mer- chant marine legislation, '*"How do you like your new neighbors?" "Great! They're the coldest, most unfriendly people you ever saw." WHEAT SUFFERS SERIOUS INJURY Great Heat Ripens Prairie Crops Prematurely Ottawa, Aug. 1 -- Excessively high. temperatures, hot winds and almost negligible rainfall made the past week one of the most disas- trous of the season for Western Canada grain crops, says the Do- minion bureau of statistics in its latest report on conditions in the Prairies. The Prairies wheat, now general- ly in head prematurely over practic- ally the entire area of the three Prairie Provinces where farmers specialize in its production. Crops which were already light and patchy in Southern and Western Manitoba, South-Central Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta, suffered greatly as moisture supplies were soon ex- hausted under the drastically unfav- orable weather, conditions. From the outskirts of the wheat area--Northern and Eastern Mani- toba, Northern Saskatchewan and West-Cerntral and Northern Alberta ~more promising reports were re- ceived, but even in these districts conditions were sustained rather than improved.' In some areas of Alberta report continues, the heat 'was even welcomed for its effect in maturing backward growth. Rye and barley are now being cut and are generally showing very poor yields. liest yields of wheat will be ready for the binder within a few days and ie will be gener- al over wide areas before mid- Aug- ust. Grasshoppers are reported as par- ticularly destructive in Manitoba and Alberta and their numbers, the Bureau says, suggest further dam- age next year. Destructive hail storms covered considerable area in Saskatchewan . {and Alberta. From Regina, this ad- vice was received: "Hail storm re- ported July 26 three miles wide and thirty miles long south of Macklin and north of Salvador, No other losses of importance during the past week" The Hail Insurance Board of Alberta advised: "Severe hail losses reported from Edmonton, Wetaskiwin, Rockyford, Hardisty, Hayter and Provost." As to rust conditions, the Bureau's report quotes the following from the Dominion Rust Research Lab- oratory at Winnipeg: "Stem rust of wheat now quite general in South- ern Manitoba. Traces of rust are present in the northern part of the province, Heaviest infections oc- cur on common wheat in the Red River Valley where severity of in- fections ranges from five to forty per cent. With inftctions averag- ing about twenty per cent. In Southern Manitoba early sown vari- eties fast approaching maturity and will not be appreciably damaged. Trace of rust only on Durum. No stem rust is reported in Saskatche- wan, TEACHERS GHIDED FOR BEING TIMID Have Failed | to Assume Their Full Social Responsibilities Denver, Colo, Aug. 6--~Teachers were chided for their failure to as- sume their full social responsibilities in an address by Henry R. Linville, of New York, president of the Am- erican Federation of Teachers, in an address at the fourth biennial conference of the World Federa- tion of Education Associations re- cently. "As long as the teachers of the country are willing to' sit back supinely and question nothing," said Linville, "no challenge is made of their work." He continued that in the new social order, for which the teachers must work a better understanding among nations can be obtained. Teachers will cease to be followed and become leaders. Linville's address was one of four, in which the national life of four nations was interpreted as a means of ~ international understanding. Other speakers were Loftus H. Reid of the Toronto. Board of Education; Robert Neilly, president of the Irish Teachers' Organization, and R, Ben- net Miller, president of the Educa- tional Institute of Scotland: Miller, representing more than 25000 teachers of all grades in Scotland, summed 'the views of the partet in. his picture of Scottish ife "You in this great country," he said, "can, I understand, produce all things necessary for your existence, In Scotland we are dependent upon other nations of the world. It would be a false and unjust policy if we were to give inferior congideration to any nation, "So may. people' of all the world, though differing in customs, habits, and mode of thought, and gach pos- virtues p ves, live in harmony effect an understanding for wutual develop. ment."
