TUESDAY, JUNE 28th, 1932 The Cattle Embargo And The Conference The reference made by Duncan Marshall to the embargo on Canadian cattle entering Great Britain, and its relationship to the Imperial Economic Confefence, is of con- siderable importance to many of the farm- ers of Ontario and Durham Counties, in which beef breeds of cattle predominate. This reference recalls the long struggle which was waged to have the embargo on Canadian cattle entering the British mar- ket removed to even a partial extent. This embargo was originally placed on animals from Canada under the British health of animals act, passed to keep out cattle which might carry the infection of the foot and mouth disease into Great Bri- tain. The need for it, from that standpoint, ceased to exist many years ago, for Cana- dian cattle were able to produce a clear bill of health. Still the embargo remained, and bacame a very effective form of pro- tection for the British farmer against competition from Canadian cattle in his home market. Various claims have been made as to who deserved the credit for the partial removal of the embargo, so as to permit steers to be imported into Great Britain. Hon. Manning Doherty, when minister of agriculture in the Drury government, went to Great Britain and campaigned for its removal, and the Hon. Mr. when frderal minister of agriculture, also had a large share in the campaign: Both of these men claimed the credit for the opening of the British market to Canadian steers, but that is of little importance to the great issue. "7 As Mr. Marshall pointed out, steers are permitted to be sent from Canada to Bri- tain, but breeding animals from the same * herds are still barred, under the old health of animals act. This places a barrier on what might be a very profitable market for Canadian breeders of cattle. If cows and heifers for breeding purposes could be exported to Great Britain, a large trade could be built up, because Canadian blood lines in the beef breeds have been richly intermingled with the best British blood lines, and there would be a demand for these animals in Britain. There is hope in what Mr. Marshall had to say. He is convinced that this will be one of the subjects for discussion at the Imperial Economic Conference, as it ought to be. To ban Canadian breeding stock, on health grounds, while -permitting steers from the same herds to enter the country, is nothing short of ridiculous. There is a real opportunity in this question for Can- ada's representatives at the conference to /do a splendid piece of work for the Cana- » dian livestock industry, and if the bars can be removed, a large contribution will be made to the prosperity of the farmers of the counties of Ontario and Durham. Salvaging Sunken Treasure Modern methods of salvaging sunken treasure from vessels at the bottom of the ocean have produced results which far sur- pass anything which could be told in the old stories of treasure hunts and pirates. In 1922, the liner Egypt was sunk jn a col- lision off the coast of France. After some years of unsuccessful effort, five million dollars in gold have been recovered from her vaults, and brought to the surface. This stupendous recovery of lost gold transcends anything previously attempted in this line, and has aroused much interest. The recovery of this treasure from the . Egypt opens up possibilities for even great- ' er feats of this kind. During the war, many vessels, carrying precious cargoes, were sunk by submarine action. Chief among these was the Lusitania, which car- ried a substantial fortune in gold bullion. Now that the way has been paved for large Pscale treasure hunts by the success of the _ expedition of the Artiglio II, it would not "be surprising to find a similar effort to "recover the treasures of the Lusitania and other ships which were lost during the war. Sunken treasure has always had a strong Jure for those of adventurous minds, as well as those who are simply avaricious. For many years divers endeavored to se- eure a fortune in gold from a Spanish galleon which was supposed to have been - ing the favorite Motherwell, handiwork, sunk, after the invasion of the Armada in 1588, near Tobermory, on the west coast of Scotland. That venture has never been successful, and there has always been some doubt as to whether this galleon was ever sunk there. Today, conditions are different: The exact location at which treasure-laden ves- sels were sunk by submarines is definitely known, and with the example of the Egypt . as an incentive to other gold-seekers, it would not be surprising to find the search for gold at the bottom of the ocean becom- sport of adventurous seekers after wealth, How Nova Scotia Does It Not long ago we commented on the fact that Ontario was lagging behind Quebec and the Maritime Provinces in advertising its attractions for tourists. Further proof of this reached our office the other day, when we received a bundle of literature extolling the possibilities of Nova Scotia as a good place in which to take a motor tour. This came unsolicited, and we can- not recall ever having received anything like a similar character from the provincial government of Ontario. This material consisted of a number of booklets, dealing with the historic places and scenic attractions of Nova Scotia, a very fine road map of the province, another booklet giving information regarding tour- ist hotels and accommodation, and another telling of the fine fishing grounds of the province. It contains, in fact, all that a prospective tourist would like to know about the place where he plans to spend his vacation. Ontario may have similar literature available. If so, we would like to see it. If so, we would like to know that it is given as widespread a distribution as that sent out by Nova Scotia. Ontario has just as many attractions as the maritime province. She can make capital out of these attrac- tions only by telling the world about them. Editorial Notes The rain on Saturday may have spoiled the sports program, but it did not do any harm to the crops in the fields and gardens. A poor apple crop is likely because the weather at blossom time was too cold for the bees. This shows just how much the fruit grower is dependent upon the assist- ance of these busy little insects, With over 2,000 registered as unemploy- ed in Oshawa, it is imperative that an agreement on how relief is to be handled be reached with all possible speed, It takes the Shorthorn Breeders' Associa- tion to tell a new and interesting chapter of the agricultural history of Ontario County.

The prac- tice of Optometry embraces a study of anatomy, pathology and physiology of the eye. This places the Optometrist in the position to prescribe glasses for vision or as assistance to certain muscle conditions when necessary and to know the cases that re- quire medical attention for sole abnormal conditions, having eye trouble as a symptom. He is able to recognize a diseased condition when he finds it and in the 1m- terest of his profession when re- ferring any case for attention other than his own, will naturai- ly try to find ¢ best. The OculistAMiffers from the Optometrist in that he is a phy- sician specializing on diseases cof the eye with the ear, nose antl throat also as a general rule. Some oculists still use drugs in the examination of the eyes, but this method is not now =o com- mon as in the past. Optometrists do not use drugs in their exam inations.

Champion Can®'dian Press Staff Writer) London,-- South Africa's new London headquarters are rapidly rising at the eastern corner of Trafalgar Square. The Union Government hopes to be in pos- session of the building at the end bf this year, or early in 1933, On thé western point. of the Square is Canada House, and the vision of the Canadiang towards the South Africans across the Square is broken only by the Nelson Monument and Landseer's lions, In the minds of Tondoners some doubt is arising as to wheth- er the new South African House is built on the site of a once famous hotel of the 'quiet amd comfortable' character, and al- though the destroyed building was erected merely by a gpecula- tive builder it was deemed to possess one of the best facades the Square had ever seen The new building is bf Port- land stone, and will carry on its exterior sundry representations of lions, elephants, antelopes and so forth--emblematical, of course, of the wild life of South Africa, Tt is suggested the com- panionship of these beasts be agreeable to the lions which Sir Edwin Landseer created for the base of the Nelson Monu- although sculptural con- ventions of today make these animal figures much less genial than those of 50 years back The creators of the new South African Headquarters in IL.ondon appear determined to give to passers-by .in Trafalgar Square a large-scale representation of the "natural resources' of their Do- minion A similar policy was urged in certain quarters when Mada House was created, but the late Hon. Peter Larkin, then High Commissioner, was not in favor of giving Canada House a "show-r'oom' aspect, preferring to have the outward adornment decorously conventional BOARD DELIGHTED WITH FESTIVAL (Continued count and not hoard"s general as thesa funds orns only Twn registrations ed and accepted Beulah N Schonl from page 1) included in the revenue account were for cadet nse wera order- these being from Laidlaw of the Public staf and A.
