We are sit- ting behind a pitiful picket line of pio- neers, complacently living on the fruits of the victories of twenty years ago. The battle of the outpbsts against the wilderness is carried on by a few hardy spirits, painfully handicapped by lack of support from the main army lying at its ease in the soft plains of the cul- tivated south, turning its eyes north- wards only in the hope of spotting some new sp)il from a battle in which they have taken no part. were clearing houses for labour. Every- body had money; every man had work. There was a spirit abroad in the land that insistently drove young men into the wilderness. that ripped money for new developmen; from the sewn purses of the hoarders. Railways twisted their smoking right-of-ways through the bush, towns sprang up, farms were cleared, settlers poured in. Whole townships deserted the worn and bar- ren east for the new land of the north and west. Then: there was a thrill of hope and adventure goading on even the dullest soul. “Young men can always be found to undertake any adventure that old men are willing to pay for. The young men have only their youth; the old men have only their money. When the old men think “bonds" the, young men languish at home. There is no strug- gle, there is no advance. The towns of the south and east are full of lan- guid youths, starved for adventure, half idle, a thin heritage, a poor founda- tion for a new generation. “Does Canada think it can afford to sit back and live on its past victories against the Wilderness?

With a long-standing knowledge of Russia where he has spent, in all, some 22 years, and where he has taken part in the development of lead mines.

His outspoken crltlclsms have the advan- tage of coming from personal exper- In the above editorial The Northern Miner appears to prove that Canada is no longer entitled to the name, “a na- tion of pioneers.“ The editorial itself in almost every line admits the pres- ence in Canada of the potential pio- neers that would make this country a veritable “nation of pioneers." and develop the vast resources of the land. The trouble is not that the new gen- eration in Canada lacks the love of ad- venture. of struggle, of gallantry and courage to do the difficult work of the pioneer. The young menu-yes, and the young women,â€"are all ready for the ba.t;1e of pioneering, but they can no more uncover the hidden wealth of Canada without the aid of capital than Christopher Columbus could have disâ€" covered this continent withou: ships. The Northern Miner is inclined to blame' the capitalist for not risking his money in developing the country. Af- ter :he present monied men made their stake it was too often turned to the safe and sure “bond" purchase. The Northern Miner suggests. That has not been so much the trouble as the 'idea‘of “sure things” and “big money." If all the capital given in recent years to the mining brokers for investment had been actually spent in mine de- velopment, there would have been enough capital available to-day to keep the North Land more than humming, and a whole lot of the investors, large and small, now in the doldrums, woulc be sitting pre'.ty on the tOp cf the world. The stock market held out the hope of big money in a short time. The pros- pector was prone‘to admit the risk. though the returns possible made the danger of loss worth while to those who had adventurous blood in their veins. The lure of easy money has done more to hold back development of the wealth of the country by sidetracking money ;o purely speculative ends than has any other single force. Also, if there were less of the Beauharnois type of high financing, there would be more money for legitimate investment of money where the returns would be in some proportion to the risks and the talent required. The trouble is not so much that capital has lost its cour- age or the spirit of adventure, as that monied men are are too often swayed by the Spirit of grasp. The'situation will right itself when some of the mon- ied men learn what it is all about. In considering the edizorial from The Northern Miner, it should not be for- gotten that the ideas offered apply only to the mining industry or to commer- cial or indusrial matters. The settlers, who are also true pioneers are not re- ceiving the attention and help that is their due. Directly or indirectly the set lers should be given a help along in their work of pioneering. Every dollar given the prospector or the pio- neer will be money well invested Even if the individual loses a dollar in a min- ing venture, he can know that busi- ness and the country in general have the dollar, so i; is not lost. Last week The Advance published an article by the Earl of Denbigh in re- gard to the world menace of the Soviet from the military standpoint. A min- ing man. Baron P. M. Friedlander, of South Africa, who was in Montreal some days ago, gave similar informa- tion in regard to the military danger and he proceeded also to show that there were other serious dangers for all the other nations of the world from the plots of the Russian communists. Baron Friedlander Exposes the Soviet Says that Help Given by Canadian and United States Experts will Prove Injury to Their Own Coun- tries. “Workmen, senators and congress- men from the United States who visit Russia are taken to some model hos- pital. prison or other publlc'instltutlon. and. unable to speak the language. they have guides who see that they do not stray from the beaten path. Like Sen- ator Wheeler they return to the United States full of recommendations that the Communists be recognized. Mr. Sinclair and Secretary Fall visited Rus- sia in 1923 and actually promised Rus- sia recognition from America and ob- tained an oil concession in Sakhalin Island. It came to nothing. as all con- cessions granted are simply a blufl’ to get their mines equipped; and, as in the case of the Lena gold fields. which were confiscated as soon as they were ready to start work seriously. consider- able money. American and British..has been lost. The Communists in the Lena case agreed to rbitrate at first, but when the arbitrafors met in Lon- don. there was no arbitrators from Rus- sia. The arbitrators present valued the Lena gcldfields. which included iron and copper mines also, as $65,000,000. In these words Baron Friedlander passed judgment on the efforts to make investments in the land of the Soviets pay. ience. and were given after his landing from the White Star liner. consisting mainly of a survey of events during and following the revolution. Referring to the large concessions which were given to Mr. Harriman for mining manganese in the \Caucasus. where over $13,000,000 was spent, he declared that in July last there was an outcry from American manganese mine owners, employing nearly 200.000 miners, directly and indirectly. They said that manganese was shipped to the U.S.A. from the well-equipped Harri- man mines. Americans could not cbm- pete against Soviet products and there is a possibility of the bulk of the miners being thrown out of work. But what is done in this field is done elsewhere, the baron contends. “In Afganistan. Iraq and Arabia Russians undersell American and English cotton manufacturers. At home in Moscow a queue of women composed of hun- dreds, standing waiting to get calico at exorbitant prices. Russian butter in London can be bought at below half a dollar a pound. but in Moscow, 2. pound. 10 percent less than the American or English. costs as much as $4.90. Every- thing possible is exported abroad to have the necessary cash for propa- ganda," he stated. The help given to Russia by Ameri- can experts will act like a boomerang on Americans, is the claim of Barfii Friedlander.“They are offered and ac- cept positions as technical advisers. Ford is putting up an immense plant for cars and tractors and, possibly airâ€" planes, in Nizhni Novgorod. Railway presidents are invited to advise on'rail- ways. I think it was Mr. Budd, of the Northern Pacific, with a staff of engi- neers, who visited Russia a few months ago for that purpose. Mr. Bell, another American, has been invited to solve the problem of how to feed the masses in the concentration camps of forced la- bour. In several years, thus, they hope to be able to ruin capitalist countries." he said. “There is a jargon of voices over here, as elsewhere, about Russia. Dr. Murray Butler, head of Columbia Uni- versity asks his fellow-countrymen to give time to the Communists, and if the experiment of 140 million people can produce better men, then we will have all the better world. He forgets that 140 milllion persons are being ex- perimented upon by ruthless terrorists,” states the South African mine owner. and adds that "time is all the Com- munlsts ask." Discussiong the international obliga- tions of Russia, which have not been recognized since the Revolution, Baron Friedlander estimated the debt to Great Britain after the war in the neighbourhood of $800,000,000, with that of France still more. Recalling the days of the war, he said that in 1915 he went to Moscow from the United States, and was summoned by the Zemski Soyuz, or county union, in order to erect lead smelters on his mine near Vladivostok, whiCh Russia needed badly and imported from Broken Hill Mine, Australia, via Vladi- vostok, at very high prices. He had several conferences, presided over by Prince Lvoff. At the end of the last conference with the prince, he said the Russian declared. “The war will be fought «to a finish, no: by our present rulers, but by the Russian people." Touching on the many events which have become material for the historian by now, the Rasputin affair. with its sinister results for all concerned, but not least for the Russian people; the counterplay of White and Red forces in eastern Russia: the use of Letts to help destroy the bourgeois and aristocrats in European Russia. in which the acts of the Bolsheviks “beggar description"; all these and more the baron recalled of the stormy days in which he had play- ed the part of an eyewitness. One of the aims of the Germans when the United States came into the war was to break up the eastern front and release the armies for the west. They intended to free the prisoners in Siberia (500.000 of them) and arm them. They despatched Lenin and Trotzky from Switzerland through Ger- many to Petrograd. and a three billion kroner credit was opened for them in the Ashbergers bank in Stockholm. Trotsky had his agents at the front and following the decision of Kerensky to continue to fight, chaos and disorder were created among the halt- starved troops, according to the narration of events by the baron.
