Wnp 3 30°F 3 “It \sallme Ono With my greatest vote and the great- est mayrity ever polled for a. mayor in an" municipal election in the his- tory of Toronto, William J. Stewart on Monday of this week was elected mayor of this city, for his third term in that office. Complete figures for the 817 polling sub-divisions in the city gave His Wor- ship 85,407 votes against 26,907 for his neareSt opponent, Ald. R. R. Leslie. Mr. Stewart’s plurality was thus 58,500. The third candidate, Richard Tuthill, polled the insignificant total of 1,869 votes. Alderman Main Opponent Mayor Stewart was opposed princi- pally bjr‘Robe‘r-t R. Leslie, an alderman of three years" standing, who went to- the hospital in the middle of the fight, and whose campaign was carried on over the air by spakesmen, even after Mayor Stewart had announced that he would abandon the public platform un- til Mr. Leslie could return to the cam- paign and speak for himself. Mr. Leslie campaigned chiefly Upon The total vote polled was 114,183.

Great Barren Lands of Canada May be Big Asset (London Free Press) ‘ The frozen wastes of the hinterland of Canada, the great Barren Lands of the N orthwest Territories, may yet prove to be a great asset to the Domin- ion. The mineral discoveries in the Great, Bear Lake district show the potential possibilities of the district. Geologically, it is the same as New On- tario, and 50 Cobalts may be found in this vast region. Certainly if one-tenth of the advance stories are true in re- gard to the Great Bear Lake country, this new mining field is an Eldorado. Then there is the possibility of mak- great herds of reindeer. Three years ago the Government purchased 3,000 reindeer in Alaska. They are being driven slowly overland to Northern Canada. In Alaska they have proved a. profitable venture, and reindeer meat today commands higher prices in the restaurants of the Pacific coast than beef. Some day reindeer meat may be shipped to the markets of England and Europe via the port of Churchill. N0 Seizures M W hen Tryuf The latest scheme to develope the North is a plan by a Northern fur trader, Tom Lamb, to go into muskrat raising on a large scale. He has secur- ed authority from the Manitoba Gov- ernment to lease some 53,000 acres of marshland southeast of The Pas. The area amounts to upwards of 80 square miles and contains 124 lakes connected by a series of streams offering 241 miles of trapping lines. The lease of the land is for five years, at the end of which time. if satisfactory pragress has been made. a renewal would be given. Lamb is starting with 300 muskrats and exâ€" pects to have 26,000 three years hence. The arrangement includes the build- The district around The Pas and along the Hudsm Bay Railway former- ly produced a tremendous number of muskrats for the fur markets of the, world. It is stated that 1,000,000 or 3 these furs were shipped out of The; Pas in 1902. In 1910 the number (imp? pet! to 300,000. and in 1926 only 40,000 were marketed, excessive trapping hav- ing depleted the area.

' ' Urges Investment Funds in Industry In a message to the people of Canada this week Hon. R. B. Bennett, premier of Canada, urges Canadians to invest in industry and so help conquer the depression. He expresses unbounded faith in Canada and asks Canadians to implement this faith by investment. In his message he also forecasts a change in the methods of financing un- employment relief. The Japanese believed the action was likely to result in permanent occupa- tion of the Chinese city of 8113an- wan, but present hostilities were ex- pected to be localized without moving farther southward or into Jehol Pro- vince. between China prone: and Man- churia. Premier Bennett Asks Canadians to Invest Freely and Defeat Depres- sion. Forecasts Change in Relief Financing Methods. In his message to the people of Can- ada the prime minister says:â€" Fifteen Years Ago “Fifteen years ago we were entering the last stage of an armed conflict that exacted an unprecedented toll of life and treasure from the whole world. Purchasing power was destroyed, mar- kets lost and a vastly accelerated pro- ducing machine had to adjust itself to the consequent shrinkage in internal and external trade. No nation escaped the war's blighting influence, and peace was made by a world that was lost in the wilderness it had created. “It would be folly to claim that we were consistently wise in our efiorts at world recovery. Indeed, the frank admission of some of the errors that .mark the peace and subsequent settle- ments provides to-day, the sanest ground for hope of improvement. We thought the way out was not difiicult. At one time all pre-war standards of living seemed to have been regained and even surpassed. All, too soon we had to face a great disillusionment. The evidences of recovery, whieh, we thought, were real, were based on false premises. A great gap was suddenly apparent between debtor and creditor nations. “Vast quantities of gold, the gener- ally accepted standard of determining national and international obligations. shifted from one group of nations to another with disastrous consequences to both. Great Britain was compelled to abandon this generally accepted standard with consequences of far- reaching importance. We have since wimm two group of debtor and cre- ditor nations who seemed as two indi- viduals struggling in the water, one of them in apparent health and capable of making for the shore, but held in so firm a grip by the other as to make their common fate inevitable. “This year again we face the same unsolved problems, but with an ab- solutely new world vision and an en- lightened hopeâ€"a. vision that comes to those determined against failure-and a hope that is based on profitable ex-_ perience. There is reason to believe that the international process of trial and error we have been experimenting with is passed. We have learned to approach the task with the realization that depression is a common enemy to all of us and that only by a united approach can success be made certain. “No richer blessing could come at the moment to a harrassed world than the assurance of permanent universal peace. This is dependent, however, on settlement of disarmament problems. When immefiate disarmarr‘ent pro- blems are settled confidence will be restored, credit extended. purchasing power re-established and international channels of trade will be re-opened. “Canada will pay her own debts ac- cording to the letter of our contracts. That is our attitude to our own obli- gations. As to inter-govermnental war debts, the Dominion of Canada has incurred none. As to reparations. we have already renounced our claim. amounting to more than one hundred and fifty million dollars.

Imperial Economic Oonierence “One year no I called attention to the proposed Imperial Economic 00n- ierence which has since been held in Ottawa. Those of us who were privi- leged to represent this country on that great occasion were conscious of a spirit of Empire co-operation and good-will. We succeeded at that conference in developing a plan of reciprocal prefer- ential tarifls which makes available to each of its many parts the combined resources of the Empire as a whole. We are comacious that certain prunems could only be solved by a world con- ference. We were aWare from the be- ginning 01 our own limitations. but the opportunities available to us of the Empire. representation of one quarter of the human family, were not lost. For Canadian products of the farm, forest. sea and mine, we have provided wider markets and we have secured the in- terest of the consumer by making avail- able to him as a purchaser the products of the whole Empire. “The price of primary products and especially agricultural products is to- day the most difficult world problem. These prices throughout the world are the lowest in history. We have reason for believing that prices will shortly improve. “The benefits of wider Empire mar- kets will not be fully realized imtil ex- Changes are stabilized and credit con- ditions permit of a greater measure of purchasing power throughout the world. It is fortunate that our plans for great- er Empire trade were made in advance of world recovery. What we have ac- complished at the Ottawa Conference in 1932 will enable Canada to take the fullest advantage of improved world conditions. We have maintained a sound money position in Canada. We have paid all our maturing. obligations abroad. This country, it cannot be too often emphasized, hasall to lose and nothing to gain by renunciation of debts, however burdensome their pay- ment may be. “A short-sighted policy would mean something for the present, but if we are conscious of the trust reposed in usâ€"ten million peopleâ€"of developing the greatest and richest resources avail- able to any country in the world, we must realize that money will seek in- vestment in Canada because of confi- dence in our sound monetary system. Credit is the means by which our re- SOurces can be developed and the full- est advantage taken of Empire ahd World markets. “Public men toâ€"day face a difficult task. Of that; we do not complain.

Assistance for Unemployed “It has fallen to us, in the federal, provincial and municipal fields. to pro- vide assistance for those who, through world conditions, are unemployed. We must frankly consider the conse- quences of continued non-productive spending in unemployment relief. We shall have to reconsider our methods in financing unemployment. The finan- cing we have had to do for unemploy- ment measures during the depression will be a charge on the productive re- sources of to-morrow. Our ears are deafened and confused by the advo- cates of monetary nostrums. But there are also a few oldâ€"time fashioned pre- judices. One of the latter is the no- tion that money or wealth can be se- parated from enterprise and cloistered in safekeeping away from the call of industrial needs. If industry fails in this country, your wealth, savings, in- surance and investments will melt like snow before your eyes.

If as individuals we are quick to sense the opportunities that are presently appearing. and resolute to apply our energies to the task of pursuing them. the dark days through which we have been passing will. be remembered not for the suffering endured because of those conditions, but as a spur to more effective efforts. “While the present depression is unique by reason of its magnitude. es- sentially it is not a new thing. It is well to remember that those who have gone through such experiences in the past have been sustained in their trials by their faith in a wise and beneficent Providence; and they emerged from their difficulties with a clearer sense of obligation, a. more resolute application to the tasks before them, more devoted as citizens in the service of their coun- try and their fellowmen. “We must, we will, be worthy of the faith and achievements of such ances- tors."
