Eight alleged communists arrested at diflerent points in Canada recently in the campaign inaugurated by the At- torney-General 0! Ontario for the clean ing-up of the communist activity in the province, were committed for trial at Toronto last week on charges of being members of an unlawful association, to wit, the communist party of Canada. The eight men will be tried by a judge and jury. Among th eeight was Amos Tobias Hill, whose address is given as Timmins. Hill has been making his headquarters here apparently, his wife and child residing here. Hill came here from Sudbury in February of this year. A: Sudbury for a time it is understood he was editor of ”Vapaus.” the com- munist Finn newspaper there. At Tim mins Hill has been active in organizing groups and societies under various names but all believed to be simply or- ganizations of the communist party. Because of Hill’s ac;ivity here there is special interest in his case, while the trouble caused in town by the commun- its here makes general attention for the trial of all those under arrest. Eight Alleged Reds Committed to Trial In referring to the preliminary trial in the mlice court at Toronto The Tor- onto Mall and Empire of Thursday or last week has the following:â€" "Pleading not guilty to the charge of being members of an unlawful assem~ blyâ€"the Communist Party of Canadaâ€" and electing trial by jury, eight of the ten men arrested in police raids during August were yesterday committed for trial by Magistrate Browne. Bail was renewed. “Tim Buck. listed as representame cf the Y. C. L.; Malcolm Bruce, describ- ed as editor of The Worker; T. A. Ewen, Mike Galinski, A. T. Hill, Maithew Popo vich, Frank Chico and John Boychuk were coxnmi.ted on evidence of pslice c-fficers. “When the name of Samuel Cohen. similarly accused, was called, Hugh John Machnald. counsel. produced a doctor's certificate to the eflect that he was in Mount Sinai Hospital suffering from appendicitis. _Prosecu'.or Joseph Sedgwick applied for a bench warrant to be held in abeyance if. on examina~ tion by Dr. Crawford, it was found that Cohen's condition was as represented. A charge against Frank Ugrin at the request cf the Crown was withdrawn and the accused dismissed. “Men and women alleged to be sym- pathizers gathered in the corridors of city hall awaiting the opening of court. They were. however. cleared out by the police and some who lingered on the Amos Tobias Hill, Giving his Address as Timmlns, Among the Number. Will be Tried Before Judge and Jury. IN Addedâ€"“ONCE OVER SIGHT” Addedâ€"“M’LAD Y" “Sergeant Frank W. Zaneta. of the R.C.M.P., identified a number of mem- bership cards, documents and minutes of Communist origin. He said that Tim Buck's card and a number of writ- ten documents had been found at 54 Delaney Crescent when he raided the premises under the authority of a search warrant. He found a card of membership in the Communist plrty bearing the name of Tim Buck and the “Minutes of Political Bureau" at this address. The names of several of the accused were included in the minutes of record. he said. city hell steps tell foul of the garden- er’s hoseâ€"“a. few of them got a. little wetâ€"it would cool them on a trifle." he said. “Hugh John MacDonald in entering a plea. of not guilty argued that the charge was ultra vires. “Declaring that he would not then argue the point; Crown Prosecutor Sedgwick called police officers to iden- tify the accused with the Communist pdrty. “Plainclothesman Mann testified to having seen Tim Buck at the Com- munist headquarters and to having heard him speak. He had also seen Ewen and Bruce at the Church Street offices and Boychuk at the Ukrainian offices on Bathurst Street and at meet- ings before the last election. Hill he had seen at the Adelaide and Church Street offices. Credentials signed by Tim Buck, showing him as organizer for Slav workers, were found on Frank Chico, according to evidence of Detective Mumberson, who arrested Chico in an office on Lombard Street. Provincial Officer Hartlieb told of ar- resting Hill in Cochrane and Constable Smith of finding cards indicating mem- bership on Boychuk. That Mike Galinski had admitted being a western organizer was brought ou: in the evidence of Staff Sergeant Fish." Hamilton Spectatorzâ€"A Communist paper in‘London asked G.B.S. to con- ;ribute an article on Russia. but the author declined. saying he intended to write for the capitalist press and call sinners, not the righteous, to repent- ance.

The North Bay Nugget makes that perfectly plain in an editorial published elsewhere in this issue. The New Liskeard Speaker has been pointing out the fact for weeks. In las: week’s issue The Hall: eyburian adds its effective word to the matter. The Halleyburian says:â€" “After a careful reading of the re- ports of the meeting or the “General Council of Northern and Nor.hwestern Ontario." held last week at Sault Ste Marie, we in this section of the North are inclined to be rather skep- tical of zhe widespread benefits which it is acclaimed will accrue from the formation of this new body. As a council for the benefit of the $00 and the Lakehead cities. and as an ad- ditional attemp; to persuade the pow- ers that be of the great importance of Aigoma and Thunder Bay districts, it may be all to the good, but as something that is to include the whole of Northern Ontario. it looks very one- sided. “Although the repor.s claim that something like 90 per cent. of the North Country was represented, one fails to find the name of a single delegate from any town or munici- pality On the T.N.O. with the ex- ception of North Bay. The resolu- tions presented and passed by the con- ference have the appearance of being framed with a view to covering “North- western Ontario" alone, with the ex~ ception of a resolution urging on the governments some further steps to- wards promoting the iron ore industry. “But during" the meetings of the new council. Hon. James Lyons gave an address to the Rotary Club, in which he is quoted as saying “The Trans-Canada Highway must go along the north shore of Lake Superior to Port Arthur. If it does not go by way of the north shore there will be such a commotion that every rock and hill in this country will level itself off and make the road. We must not permit ourselves to 'be sidetracked in this question of the highway by anyone or by any section of the country." There was more of the same tune, exhor- tion to “brush off the old war-horse," etc.. that no doubt made his speech “One thing may be said, however the conference did not go very deeply into the route of the Trans-Canada Highway. aILhough it can be plainzy seen from the reoprts, and understood from the communities which were rep- resented. that the Lake Superior route is the only one they consider as being important. Addedâ€"“PICTORIAL” HIGHEST MOUNTAIN" Strong Position of Power Corporation Northern Canada Power and Other Subsidiaries Show Excellent Strength Despite World Depression. All Dividends Paid and Surplus Carried. Leading corporations. not only in Canada. but throughout the world have been passing through a testing period. and few are coming through with such satisfactory records as Canadian com- panies, more especially those concerned with and deriving income from public utility enterprises. Power Corporation of Canada is a forcible illustration of the success of such undertakings, more especially when account is taken of the handicaps which have attended operations in the past couple of years. sound heartening to the people of Al- some. “The formadon of the “General Council" was carried out with great enthusiasm, many prophecies were made as to the great benefit that was :0 come from the organization and delegates were no doubt satisfied that a great day's work had been done. The T. 6: N. 0. district. however, will apparently remain outside the fold for the present and will probably be able to struggle along. as it has in the past." Power Corporation reached the peak of its earning power in the period which ended June 30. 1930, and al- though conditions have grown worse throughout the ensuing year it has been able to make a most creditable showing for the fiscal year which terminated on the corresponding date this year. An important portion of the com- pany’s revenue is derived from its in- vestments in a great variety of com- panies, a large number of them being Canadian public utilities. The report shows that 73.26 per cent of these are in Canada, 14.61 per cent in the United States. 1.30 per cent. in the British Empire and 10.83 per cent foreign. As regards their diversification bonds represent 12.09 per cent, preferred stocks 10.60 per cent.. bank stocks, 1.62 per cent., common stocks 64.71 per cent. and cash and demand loans 10.98 per cent. During the year, the report points out, several changes were made in the securities held. Some Canadian and American securities were sold and the funds used to further increase holdings of Canadian utility companies, such as Montreal Power, Shawinigan, Southern Canada Power, British Columbia Power “A" and "”.B Canada Northern Power. etc, advantage being taken of the low prices which prevailed some little time ago. It is pointed out that this change of investments resulted in a less of $900,548. This was charged to the in- vestment reserve of $2,000,000 which was set up a year ago. On the other hand there was a profit from the sale of other investments amounting to $757,717 which was taken into profits and so appears in the profit and loss statement. It is considered a particularly satis- factory showing that in a year in which there has been such a severe decline in security prices the world over that there was a net depreciation of only a little over 10 per cent in the market value of the company's holdings. The gross earnings of Power Cor- poration grew steadily from 1926 to 1930, the current report being the sixth. In 1926 they were $324,477, reaching $3,702,912 in 1930 after deducting the $2,000,000 reserve set up as a contin- gency for just such a loss as had to be met in the yast years‘ operations. The 1931 report shows gross of $3,412,404 which includes the profit of $757,717 from securities sold while the loss of $900,548 on securities scld has been taken care of by the investment re- serve provided for the purpose. After expenses of $487,711 net earn- ings were $2,924,693 compared with $3,210,705 in the preceding year, a de- cline of less than 9 k. Earnings were equivalent to $3.54 per share on the common stock as compared with $4.21 per share last year. Taking all the circumstances into consideration in a year of unusual depression and ad- verse conditions generally this must be regarded as an especially creditable showing. The total assets are somewhat lower than in 1930 but well above the total for 1929. The current report gives total assets of $47,172,911 as compared with $49,596,290 a year ago. The decrease The report. which is signed by the President A. J. Nesbitt. embraces a wealth or information and data con- cerning the operations and progress or affiliated companies as well as being freely illustrated with views of some at the many diversified induSries serv- ed by this group of public utilities. An interesting factor in this connection is The statement also notes that bank loans have been reduced from $3,500,000 to $1,300,000. The company has been able to pro- vide for the 6 per cent. dividends on its first preferred cumulative and non- cmnulative participating preferred for the year as well as establish the com- mon stocks of, and advances to, afflâ€" basis, payable quarterly. is mainly attributable to the smaller totals representing investments in com- mon stocks of. and advances to, om- liated companies, and other invest- ments. On the side of liabilities, the total of these to the public is smaller than a year ago, amounting to $15,529,674 as compared with $18,002,432 in 1930, while liabilities to shareholders of $21,643,237 has undergone but a slight increase, $21,643,237 representing the equity in capital and surplus of 445,958 common shares compared with 445,806 in the previous year. that the financial interests which or- ganised and have developed Power Corporation to its present status are the same as those who developed the properties in whose securities Power Corporation holds a large interest. This assures a continuance of the same effi- cient management for all concerned. In this connection it is worth noting that affiliated and subsidiary compan- ies develop about one-tenth of the total hydro-electric output in Canada. These are located in various provinces throughout Canada extending from the province of Quebec to British Columbia on the Pacific Coast. This group repre- sents a capital investment of close to $300,000,000. Securities of this group are widely held by shareholders num- bering over 40,000 scattered in more than thirty countries an increase of 2.000 from last year. In addition to its investments Power Corporation's revenue is derived from numerous sources, including engineer- ing fees, management fees. participat- ing in financing and merger operations, profits from dealings in securities not held as permanent investments, stocks dividend and cash dividend receipts from stocks held as permanent or tem- porary investments, and long term ap- preciation in the value of securities held. These sources are linked in a unique way on account of the com- pany‘s voice in the management and influence in the policies of an impor- tant system of utilities. The report provides important in- formation concerning the companies which Power Corporation controls or is closely affiliated. Referring to the operations of these companies president A. J. ‘Nesbi.t says in part: Dominion Power and Transmissionâ€" The sale of this property to the On- tario Hydro-Electric Commission has been satisfactorily concluded. No payments totalling $60 per share have been received on the stock held by your Corporation, and the balance will be made available when the Company is finally liquidated. Canada Northern Powerâ€"As the gold mines served are extending their oper- ations, business conditions in the dis- tricts served have been very satisfac- tory, and the Company‘s earnings show an increase. The power development at the Upper Notch went into oper- ation during the past year. The new mill at Dome Mines, Limited has been completed and new ore developments continue satisfactorily. Expansion pro- grammes are under way at the Lake Shore Gold Mines and the Teck Hughes Gold Mines. At Noranda a store was opened for the sale of electrical appli- ances. In Porcupine the new 1,500 ton mill at the McIntyre-Porcupine Mines will materially add to their power de- mands. Reduced domestic rates put into effect by your Company will mani- festly increase the use of power in the home. The new 12,000 volt feeder to the Amulet Mines will mean substan- tial additional power requirement.. The Company‘s pulp mill at Haileybury has been operating at somewhat less than full capacity. Two more communities have been added to the list of towns served. Merchandise sales continue to grow.
