Bland in the English Review: British public opinion in the sphere of world politics has to a great extent surrendered its critical faculty to the guidance of the "highbrow" internaâ€" tionalists of the Round Table coterie, of Chatham House and the League of Naâ€" tions Union. Things have gone so far, and such boundless ambitions now inâ€" spire the small class of Westernized Intellectuals which is creating chaos in India and China, that it will probably require a serious catastrophe to restore general recognition of the fundamental truth that a conciliatory attitude never yet won the goodwill or respect of an Asiatic people.

Down Oliva Chenier, who was elected as a town councillor at Cobalt at the last municipal elections there in December last, has lost his fight to retain his council seat. He was held to be disâ€" quaafled from holding the seat on acâ€" count of his municipal taxes not being paid in time, according to the decision in the mater given some weeks ago by Judge Hartman. Mr. Chenier appealed against this decision and the case came up at Osgccde Hall, Toronto, â€" last week. At Osgoode Hall the decision of Judge Hartman was confirmed, the appeal of Chenier being dismissed with the costs of the appeal assessed against him. As a consequence of the decision the Cobalt town clerk last week was preparing to call for a new nominâ€" ation to fill the vacancy on the Cobalt council. It is understood that there is a strong probability that Mr. Chenâ€" ier will again be a candidate. This time, however, there will be no quesâ€" tion of his qualifications, as he has not only seen to the payment of all his own personal taxes but also those of some estates in which he is concerned.

Provincial Officer McClellan told about visiting the house and found Seppa lying on top of the stove, drunk, and with beer bottles littered around. There were bullet holes in the floor, the wall and in a trunk in one room, One boy of twelve told about his father firing a shot into the wall. The lad said he ran outside. The other children, three of them, were in the house at the time. Magistrate Atkinson found Seppa guilâ€" ty of unlawfully being in posistion of two rifles and ammunition, while beâ€" ing and alien, and not having a permit.

Goode Sr., of Brower, Writes His Opinion on the Development of North for the Advantage of the Country in General. To the Editor of The Advance, Timmins x "What will the harvest be?" That is the thought that is running through the people‘s minds just now in the clay belt of Northern Ontario. The Government opened it for settlement, some years ago, and the settlers came and settled here, until it is just about all settled. The settlers gave their all to the business of making farms out of this part of the country, spent fifâ€" teen or twenty years of the best part of their lives, in struggling to make a home and a living for their wives and children; then the powersâ€"thatâ€"be, hired thousands of fire rangers to make The following letter was received last week from H. Goode, Sr., Brower, Ont. It arrived too late for publication in the last issue but is given herewith: FARMS BETTER FOR NATION THAN EXPLONTING PULP it almost impossible for the settlers to clear any more land.. It seems that the Minister of Land and Forests thinks it would be better to leave it to reâ€"forest itself again, so that the limit holders will be assured of a future supply of cheap pulpwood. Now it takes about 100 years to grow a crop of pulpwood; that means one crop of wood in 100 years; that would mean that the clay belt would lay idle for that time; then the pulp.companies would want a floating population af men, for six months of the year to cut this wood at starvation wages, and the Government would make about $1.50 to $2.00 per cord stumpage in 100 years, and the pulp companies would make big profits, and the men they hired to harvest the crop would just get a bite to eat for six months in the year; the balance of the year they would be floating from one place to another, trying to sell their labour power to some other exploiter of human lives and the natural resources of the counâ€" try. That is the picture of the clay belt, what it would be like growing pulpwood, not for the benefit c‘ the whole people, but for the benefit of the few. There is no greater asset to any country, than its farming population, where you have thousands of farmers, their wives and families, nearly selfâ€" suppcorting; where they have a more healthful surrounding than the people in the slums of our cities, where vice and crimes abound, where you know it is impossible to rgise a race of angels, or near angels, in unhealthy surroundâ€" ings. There is no place like the counâ€" try toâ€"raise children,. All our greatest men have been raised on the farm, and have been raised on thedlToi...... tion i have been taught at their mother‘ knee the moral teaching that has enabled them to get where they are today. As the immortal Robbie Burns says: "In fair virtues heavenly road The cottage leaves the palace far behind." I would appeal to the powers that be, to give the clay belt of Northern Onâ€" ario most careful thought before they decide to turn it over to the pulp inâ€" terests to exploit. Think of the thouâ€" sands of men, women and children that can live here, and be selfâ€"supporting, and raise crops every year for their own use, and think of ‘the crop of healthy and hardy children that is being raised here now, that will be one of the greatest assets of his country in the future. Are you going to turn these men, women and children adrift to go to the cities,â€"the men to swell the army of unemployed and the women and childâ€" ren to be imprisoned in city slums, inâ€" stead of years spent out in the open country, amidst healthy surroundings and good moral teachings? Think beâ€" fore you turn these men on the indusâ€" trial scrap heap. and compel their wives and children to become slum dwellers amidst vice and crime. Oh! why has worth so short a date while villians ripen grey with time. (Signed) H. Goode, Sr HAILEYBURY BOASTS OF BUTTERFLY ON MARCH 9TH Haileybury is inclined to boast of having a live butterfly as early as March 9th. That is nothing in partiâ€" cular, when contrasted with the live butterfly actually found fiying around in the yard outside at the Hollinger Mine. The latter butterfly was capturâ€" ed in January some three years ago and was brought to The Advance office where it was on display. It was capâ€" tured by A. J. Downie, then of Timâ€" mins. Speaking of the Haileybury butâ€" terfly, The Haileyburian says:â€""To capture a butterfly alive and well on March 9th was the experience of Mr. Geo. Holmes, who brought the insect to the office of the Haileyburian on Monâ€" day. It is of a fine yellow shads and appeared to be perfectly healthy. Mr. Holmes found it outside in the bright sunshine a little before its time, perâ€" haps, but a welcome visitor nevertheâ€" less. The warm weather of the past few weeks has been remarkable for this section of the province and the greater part of the winter‘s snow has disapâ€" peared at the weekâ€"end. The roads are almost finished as far as sleighing is concerned and, unless a fall of snow comes soon wagons will be necessary in all locations. Cars have been used throughout the winter with little interâ€" ference from the storms and the season has been one of the finest within the memory of the oldest inhabitants." Regina Daily Postâ€"A very unusual but remarkable accident took place. Brower, Ont., March 12th, 1930 SETTLERS IN THE NORTH IN DIFFIGULT POSTTION A couple of weeks or so ago The Northern Tribune of Kapuskasing sugâ€" gested the opening up for settlement of certain further territory along the Transcontinental west of Cochrane, and also along the T. N. O. extension north of cochrane. To these suggesâ€" tions The Northland Post of Cochrane makes very conclusive reply last week. The Northland Post in an editorial arâ€" ticle saysâ€" "One of our contemporaries last week advocated the opening up for settleâ€" ment of new territory in this district, more particularly along the T. N. O Extension North of Cochrane . With less settlers here now than five years ago, with farm after farm abandoned surely such a move would be the very height of folly. Nor are we particuâ€" larly impressed with our contemporâ€" ary‘s suggestion that the newly opened territory should be settled with "a good type of settler."‘ When one becomes acquainted with a large number of our settlers and gets to know of their probâ€" lems, and how they have "stuck to it" and given of their best in an effort to turn a wilderness into a prosperous farm land, one becomes impressed with the fact that we do not need to get the "right type" of settlers. We have them here now, though it is doutful if they are going to remain here much longer unless relief of some kind is forthâ€" coming. "In the great majority of cases the setâ€" tler when he came here had small capital, which, if he remained on his lot, and made an effort to clear it, was all too quickly used up for food and supplies. As he found it necessary to eat, he of course had to leave his lot for a time and seek work in order to live. In this manner, literally hunâ€" dreds of farms have been very slowly cleared to the extent of from twenty to forty or fifty acres. The settler now finds himself in this predicament: he may have enough land cleared to When Foghorn MacDonald "‘Told Off" General Curric Oldâ€"timers in the North who knew "Foghorn" MacDconald well will be inâ€" terested in the following from the last issue of The Northern Miner:â€" Northerners still remember with afâ€" fection that famous character of earlier days, "Foghorn" MacDonald, whose exâ€" ploits in bush and town has given rise to many legends. His command of lanâ€" guage, the lively play of ideas which marked his conversation, his utter disâ€" respect for conventionalities, his bigâ€" heartedness are immortalized in many stories. farm, but he has no money left with which to start farming. Stock and equipment cost money, and he has spent all he has on clearing land, and as most of the settlers have familyies, some large ones, he is not able to go out and work some place in order to amass a little capital for buying stock, etc., all that he may earn will be needed by his family. A petition is being circulated at the present time, asking among other things, that a bonus be paid for land clearing. This in no way can be called charity or a handâ€"out, it is assistance to the setâ€" tler, assistance that is urgently needed if the North is to occupy its rightâ€" ful position as a land of good farms." An English soldier of mark, Majorâ€" General the Rt. Hon. J. B. Seeley, who commanded the Canadian Cavalry Briâ€" gade for the greater part of the war, has written his life story, under the title of "Adventure." General Seeey met MacDonald }n France, where he went as a private, emerging a major. The author, who calls "Foghorn" an eccentric and a genius, too, tells the following story: "HMe was a mining expert of distincâ€" tion in Canada," says General Seeley, "and having enlisted at the beginning of the war was appointed to superinâ€" tendent the mining operations on my front. He had a great command of language, which Canon Scott, and no one elseâ€"certainly no generalâ€"could moderate. "Sir Arthur Currie will remember a tense interview with him. The meetâ€" ing took place at the same ruined farm John Redmond had found me. Currie was much worried at the weakness of out trenches, and the probability of a German attack from the Messines Ridge, which dominated our position. We discussed the various ways of meetâ€" ing the difficulty with some asperity, for each man always thinks he knows his own bit of the front best. "Fogâ€" horn‘"‘ McDonald sat on a table in the corner of the room, swinging his legs and listening to the conversation. "Presently Currie said: "There is another thing. I am not at all satisâ€" fied with the place in which you put your mine, Seeley, I don‘t believe it has been started in the right spot, and I am sure you won‘t get the water out. You will drown your own men without dcoing any harm to the enemy." "At this Corporal ‘Foghorn‘ Macâ€" Donald, who had taken no part in the conversation, said these astonishing words: ‘Look here, old man Curric, you don‘t know the first thing about mines. I have forgotten more about them than you will ever know. You may say what you like about the rest, but don‘t you try telling me about the mine, just beâ€" cause you are the stud duck in this puddle.‘ "To Currie‘s eternal honour," conâ€" tinues General Seeley, "instead of placâ€" ing my eccentric friend under arrest he burst out laughing and said: ‘Well, y Have Some Land Cleared After Hard Work, But Lacks Capital for Purchase of stock and Further Development. that has broken the spell, anyway.‘ Everything was then settled amicably in five minutes. It will be seen that the Canadian army was very flexible. It found room for everybody, and manâ€" aged with great success to put people to their own jobs. But let nobobhdy think that those eccentricities relaxed real discipline. I can truly say that during the three and a half years I commanded the Canadians on the Western Front I never had a rebellious word or look, and not once was an order disobeyed." noon â€" contemporary headlines "The Blind Need No Pity in Cangda‘" beâ€" cause statistics show they earn $500,000. Apparently our friend thinks figures can provide for every handicap, but we suggest that the said contemporary divide that up among the blind and then try being blind.
