Air Fleets Coâ€"operate in Service with the Railways Facilitating the more rapid ment of outlying regions, nine winter services by the Canadan Airways have been established, operating from bases adjacent to the Canadian National Railways, carrying mail, passengers and freight to the mining fields and tradâ€" ing posts in the hinterlands of Canada, according to C. W. Johnston, general passenger traffic manager of the Canâ€" adian National Railways. These services include the despatch These services include thae 4espalCth of aeropianes from the fcllowing airâ€" ways bases to the respective destinaâ€" tions; from Oskelaneo, P.E.L, to Chiâ€" bougamou, Mistassini, and Northwestâ€" ern Quebec; from Senneterre, P.Q., to Fish Lake, Grand Lake, Victoria, Misâ€" tassini and North Western Quebec, alâ€" so Noranda; from Collins, Ont., to Cenâ€" tral Patricia, Pickle Crow, Sturgeon Lake, Lake St. Joseph, Ft. Hope and Big Trout Lake; from Sicux Lookout, Ont.. to Red Lake, Disrtict of Patricia, and North Western Ontario in general; from Stevenson Airport at Winnipeg, daily to Central Manitâ€"ba mining arca, in addition to services to Gods Lake, Island Lake and the subâ€"bass at Lac du Bonnet: from Ilford, Man., to disâ€" tricts in Northern Manitcba, such as Knee Lake, Gods Lake, Oxford and Isâ€" land Lake districts; from Edmonton, Alta., to points in Alberta and North West Territories; frim McMurray A‘râ€" base in Alberta, nsar Waterways on the Northern Alberta Railway, to the Macâ€" kenzie River district, Great Bear Lake mining area, Liard River, Yukon River and Peace River districts; from Sea Island Airport at Vancouver, B.C., to Victoria, Bridge River and N:rthern British Columbia. Appalling Damage to.the Forest Wealth of Canada §some of these services now Operali.e to places which in the past were accesâ€" sible after the freezeâ€"up only by dog sleigh and then at widely spaced interâ€" vals Now the trader and miner in these great hinterlands can maintain tcuch with the rest of the world through the medium of the combined rail and air services. "There is reason to believe that the average annual damage to the forests of Canada, caused by insects, may apâ€" proximate in value that caused by fire, which averages nearly $10,000,000 anâ€" nually," said R. D. Craig, of Ottawa, in a paper read at one of the sessions of the conference of officers of the Doâ€" minion _Entomologica] Branch, Dominâ€" ion Department of Agriculture, held recently in Ottawa. Mr. Craig‘s paper was entitled "The Forest Resources of Canadaâ€"Their Protection Against Inâ€" sect Pests." Continuing he said that the loss to the farest wealth caused by insect pests constitutes a most serious drain cni one of the most valuable of the Dominion‘s natural resources. The extent to which insects can carry on their work of desâ€" truction is not readily realized by the forest authorities, nor by those engagâ€" ed in the forest industries He emâ€" #. _ JPP a*s ol éc.n'n oo‘n.u n n 0:1 ngers and and tradâ€" f Canada, phasized the economic value of the werk of entomologists, and said that in his opinion the introduction of paraâ€" sites, as a means of biological control, is proving one cf the most eflective‘ means of direct attack, and maintained that great credit is due to the Dominâ€" ion Entomological Branch for what has been done in this field. Fungi is also ancther cause of great loss in the forests. The forests of Canada cover 1,150,â€" 006 square miles, or about oneâ€"third otI valued at $1,689,000,000. The ycung growth is placed at 400,000,000 cubic feet. From the standpoint of forest economy it is most important to protect the young stands cof trees from insects, fungi and fire, the three principal causes of loss, for the future of the forest industries depends on â€" these young trees. About 82 per cent. of the accessible timber of commercial size is câ€"niferous trees, 11 per cent. is intolerâ€" ant hardwoods (white birch and popâ€" lar) and seven per cent tolerant hardâ€" woodsâ€"yellow birch, maple and elm. Under the heading, "Illâ€"Founded Wrath." The Ottawa Journal on Wedâ€" nesday last had the following editorial article:â€" "Unfortunately for its case the Globe did not have all the facts, and the corâ€" rect background is supplied by. the Timmins Advance. "The boy of sixteen, and an older companion, were sent to the penitenâ€" tiary for robbery under arms, which is quite another preposition. The young= er boy. says The Advance, apparently was leader in the enterprise. The pair broke into a Timmins store and stole guns. They threatened a taxiâ€"driver with these stolen guns, and took h‘s car. "They jabbed a gun in my ribs," the driver told the court, and he said he was afraid for his life. "As The Advance says, officials and courts and the public in Canada have every sympathy with boys who make "mistakes" of the sort that populate the reformatories, but the public must be guarded against gunâ€"toters even of immature years. Here was a grave crime deliberately planned, and that it did nct end in the taking of life was largely a matter of luck. A short torm in a reformatory would have been no real kindness to the boy concerned, and such a sentence would have enâ€" couraged the dangerous notion that for a person of sixteen to use a gun in a robbery is but the high spirits <f vouth seeking expression." Even Youthful Offenders Must be Curbed Sometimes "The other day the Torcnto Globe exploded in typical indignation over the case of a Northern Ontario boy of sixteen years sentenced to two and oneâ€" half years in Kingston penibentlary "for breaking into a North Country store," it said, "and theft of a motor car."

MHas Japan given Russia the ailternative of settling these differences peacefully instead of by the sword? Has Japan Offered the Soviet Terms of Peace?! It has. The cznditions which the Japanese have laid down to Russia, as essential for the preventicn of war in the Far East, are quoted by a ‘survey‘ published in Moscow, titled, "War proâ€" paganda in Japan and Germany." This survey outlines purported joint aims of Japan and Germany, Here is Jaâ€" pan‘s supposed "terms," in return for peace: According to Moscow and the Terms are Such that Rusâ€" sia would be Edged Out and Japan Made Mistress of the Far East. 1. Complete cessation of commun.st.c propaganda and activity in Japan, Korea and Manchuria. 2. Unlimited freedom for Japanese citizens to move from place to place, settle, engage in trade and in mining on Soviet territory without any limitaâ€" tions from Soviet laws and Soviet auâ€" thorities.

Profits, after making provision for Dominion and Provincial taxes of $442,099 amount to $1,850,330. This figure is not directly comparable with 1933 profits of $2,035,â€" 200 for the reason that 1933 profits were reported before payment of Doâ€" minion Gsovernment tax on circulation of $112,000, the change this year being made for the sake Oof uniformity in Bank statements. It will thus be seen that profits for 1934 show only a slight decline, i.e., $73,540. Dividends to the amcunt of $1,440,000 were paid.

(From Ottawa Journal) of the most striking and signiâ€" ficant things about the political situâ€" ation as Parliament opens is that Premier Bennett and his reform policies have completely "stolen the show." The Prime Minister, . unquestionably, has captured th> country‘s imagination, has provoked liveliness of public inâ€" terest scarcely equalled in our time. More than that, and more imporâ€" tant from Mr. Bennett‘s standpsint, the public‘s reaction is favorable. With the excepticn of two or three of the larger Liberal dailies, the press, is almost unanimous in applause. Even in cases where there is criticism, the spposition is guarded, is more in the nature of skepticism than of open atâ€" tack. And Mr. Bennett has spiked most of the skepticism. When he delivered his series of speeches, outlining his proposed reforms, he was accused of "election promises." Such was the line of a paper like The Toronto Star, Now, however, when the "promises" have taken the form of a legislative proâ€" gramâ€"ready to be written into lawâ€" the position of the critics is different â€"and pretty difficult. So far as his own party is concerned, Mr. Bennett seems to have galvanized it into action, given it new life and Mr. Bennett has stolen the offensive from his cpponents, that, in the parâ€" ‘ance of the strest, he has "beaten them to the punch." The Opposition, on the cther hand, complain that Mr. Bennett has "stolen cour policies," in itself a fair testimonial to the Prime Minister‘s ascendancy. Ons of the first reactions to Mr. RBcnnett‘s proposals was that he would be unable to carry his party with him. He has carried it with him, and enâ€" thusiastically.
