While he had sympathy with such newcomers he appreciated that his first duty was for the preiecticon of the workmen of this ccuntry. It was not in the interests of the labouring men of Canada that the action proposed by the bill should be taken. After emphasizing the carefulness taken in all deportation cases to see that justics was done, the minister, in referring to a remark by Mr. Woodsâ€" worth, said it would not be easible to have a huge staff of officials to follow up to check up any of their defects year by year.

So did Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, and Premier G. Howard Ferâ€" guson, and other leading public men. But that did. not stop the rumours. A a matter of fact in the past six or seven years The Advance has seen nor heard no suggestion about further embargo on pulpwood, except from that ready letterâ€"writer from M::fitreal. and from men like Mr. Rowlandson who were always forward with cries that scmecne wan‘ted to put an embargo on pulp. Several years ago the Kitchener board of trade introduced a resolution at the Ontario Asscciated Boards of Trade suggesting an embargo omm pulpâ€" wood. Every delegate from the North, and there were many that year, bitterâ€" ly opposed any suggestion of further embargo on pulpwood and the question was talked out. Since then, there does not seem to have been any question of an embargo in any serious way. With these concerned against any further embargo, it is difficult, indeed, to see where it can be claimed that pulp shipâ€" menis to the United States have been affected by any talk there may have been. I takes more than talk to affect the pulpwood business. The fact of the matter is, that the unfair competiâ€" ticn of European pulh) the conditions prevailing in United States mills, and This week The Advan letter on the questior aas received talk about the police force are frequently made, and cften reproaches are dGirected against that body of men alleging inâ€" efficiency and inaction and lack of sucâ€" cess when there is action. Such criticâ€" isms are, for the most part, illâ€"considecrâ€" and unjust, The critics may well be ‘asked whether, were they in the pace of the police, they coulsd accomâ€" plish any hing better than the police accomplish. As The Advance has repeatedly ! pointed out the recent conference at North Bay to decide on the route for the Transâ€"Canada highway through North meant nothing except that Sudâ€" bury and Sault Ste. Marie had money enough to bring a big delegation of representatives and others to the meetâ€" ing. The conference decided nothing and proved nothing except the asserâ€" tlvgness of S@ult Ste. Marie. One of the questions asked at the Timmins town council meeting when the quesâ€" tion of the conference was being disâ€" cussed was what basis of representaâ€" tion would obtain at the conference. The reply to this was that it did not matter, because Sudbury and the Sault had arranged to take advantage of any basis whethr by population, municipalâ€" ities or whatnot. This proved to be. the case. The matter was so plain and objectionable that public protest was made after the contest. C. W. Wright, president of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" sociated Boards of Trade, and G. B. Nicholson, M.P., for Chapleau, on the evening of the contest wired fii'otest ’ in the matter to each of the following: ! Hon. Geo. S. Henry, Premier of Onâ€" tario. Hon. W. Finlayson, Minister of | Lands and Forests. Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines. Separate wires were sent to each of these, the wires reading as follows:â€" North Bay, Ont., July 8th, 1931 Resolution re Transâ€"Canada highway passed at meeting here toâ€"day does not represent Northern opinion. Basis of voting was not in accordance with terms of notice calling meeting which provided for a maximum of three from any municipality within the area in dispute. Entire country from North Bay to Nakina having only eighteen delegates present was only accorded eighteen votes out of a total of one hundred and thirteen registered, of which twentyâ€"four were from the Sault alone. North Bay properly reâ€"| frained from voting, while large deleâ€" gation from Nipigon to Twin Cities took active part and voting. Writing. C. W.

Porquls Juinctiocn, QNT., JUILY 3, 19431 The Editor, The: Porcuriine Advance, Timmins, Ontario. Dear Sir:â€"Perhaps you will be kind enough to find space in your valued paper for a short comment and a few suggestions on the pulpwood situation. It is as vital a question im the North as the wheat problem is in the West, and assuredly has a bearing on the depresâ€" sion that mrevails throughout the Doâ€" our â€" wWOCGd, buyers have etn Ontario by that of The quarrel is not with the quality of our wood. A number of American buyers have told the writer that Northâ€" etn Ontario pulpwood cannot be beaten by that of any other country.: The supply is easily accessible to the market. Why, then, have we lost that market? Probably ths most evident menace to our market is the threat of embargo that is continually appsaring in the Canadian press. The buyers are willâ€" ing to pay a gocd rpirice for the wood, but they seem to have some strange aversion to being made to appear as thieves and vandals of the Canadian forests. Considering the attitude takem toward them by some of our papers, is it any wonder that our best customers have taken their money and gone elseâ€" where? And, since their monsy is plentiful, their demand enormous, is it any wonder that they have had little difficulty in finding another source cf upply? Now, what can ‘be done to recover what was one of our best industries? The writer wishes to offer a few suggesâ€" ticns and would be pleased to see them added to or discussed by other readers of cur paper. supply is easily acce Why, then, have w Probably the m to our market is th that is continually First, let all embargoes and all threats cf, embargces on pulpwood be wiped out. Only a clearâ€"cut statement from our Government can lay this ghost of our best Northern industry. Second, let the freight rates be cut until the railways receive only enough to cover the cost of hauling the wood. They can safely depend upon the reâ€" newed prospmerity of the country to proâ€" vide profits. Third, let the surplus talent that is going to seed in the lobby of the House of Commons be sent across the line as publicity men for our revwmg business. It is the sincere opinion of the writâ€" er that the adopticon of these suggesâ€" ticns would help to turn the tide of American money back into Canada and would result in renewed life for more than one of our mational industries.

They were to be followed by a supply steamer from Moose Factory, and all equipment and supplies are being taken to the islands. The machines mre to operate during their work in the Belchers from a large lake on the most sizeable of the isâ€" lands, and fuel has been moved across the waters of the Bay from a cache already established for "‘the operation at the mouth of the Great Whale river, Quebec. With the aerial section of the expsâ€" dition, and being flown to the islands also, is C. H.

As far as is known there is only one Eskimo family living on the islands at the present time. ed The following is a recent press reâ€" et | lease from Washington, which shows nt | the United States is doing its part in in | better game protection:â€" ! â€""The Migratory Bird Conservation | Commission, of which Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agriculture is chairman, has just authorized purâ€" »rt | chases of lands by the Biological Surâ€" id | vey for migratory gameâ€"bird refuges in Florida, California, North Carblina of z_ l and Nebraska, aggregating â€"73,780 ,_ | acres. The cost to the government will oa | average $5.28 an acre. § "The four proposed refuges had been surveyed previously by biologists and land valuation experts of the Biologiâ€" Y8 l cal survey and the Department of Agâ€" â€" | rieulture had approved their acquisiâ€" ‘1; tion as units in the nationâ€"wide sysâ€" tem of refuges by Congress.

So successful has the sanctuary system proven that practiâ€" cally every country in the world has Tcronto Mail and Empire:â€"There is this at least to be said about Russia, and this is the time to say it: A travel= ler returned from Verkoyansk, Siberia, recorded a temperature of 95 degrees below zero. At that it may be Bolshe= vik prophganda. copied the mud hoile pimd systE‘i, After American representatives visitâ€" ed the Kingsville Canadian Sanctuary the United States Government voted unanimously to spend eight million dollars in a period of ‘three years esâ€" tablishing and maintairing one hunâ€" dred and twentyâ€"five such sanctuaries in their country. According to the folâ€" lowing press release from Washington, D.C., the country is carrying out plans for which Congress voted the money. Such sanctuaries meet with the apâ€" nroval of both the 10 per cent. hunters "The new purchases authorized, toâ€" gether with those previously approved by the commission, and those estabâ€" lished by Executive orders since the inception on July 1, 1929, of work unâ€" der the Migratory Bird Conservation Act, make a total of 158,167 acres that will become inviolate sanctuaries for the conservation of migratory birds." for which Congress voted the money. Such sanctuaries meet with the apâ€" proval of both the 10 per cent. hunters and the 90 per cent. bird lovers because from the hunter‘s point of view it inâ€" creagses his chances a hundred per cent. of bagging a duck or goose around the outside of sanctuary and gives the 90 per cent who only shoot with a kodak, first chance of seeing birds alive on protected areas. "The new Florida refuge will extend about twelve miles along Apalachee Bay, in Wakulla, Jefferson and Taylor Counties, and will be known as the St. Marks migratory bird refuge. It will contain 13,981 acres. The new purchases in California will add 8,982 acres to the Salton Sea wild life refuge, created by executive order of November 25, 1930. The purchase authorized, together with the public lands recently set aside by the Presiâ€" dent, will create a refuge of more than 24,715 acres for waterfowl and other migrants in the Imperial valley. "The Swanquarter migratory bird refuge will be established in North Carolina under the new authorization. This will consist of 11,778 acres in Hyde County, on Tamlico Sound, and together with intermingled areas of water will make an administrative unit of about 20,000 acres. "In the sandhills of Western Neâ€" braska the purchase of 39,038 acres is authorized for thk establishment of a migratory bird refuge in an area reâ€" sorted to by great numbers of waterâ€" fowl in the nesting season. This is in Garden County and will be known as the Crescent Lake migratory bird reâ€" fuge.
