Mining Industry to (Get More Attention According to a despatch from Ottaâ€" wa, Canada‘s new Minister of Mines, Hon. Thomas Alexand:r Crerar, has no intention of allowing the fact that he is also Minister of Immigration, Inâ€" dian Affairs, Interior and Ccolonization interfere with the administration of this great and growing Canadian inâ€" dustry. The several branches of the Department of Natural Resourc:s are not, on present intention, to be scramâ€" bled in any way, so as.to obscure or weaken their respective aemands upon the Cabinet‘s attention. "One feature of Dominion developâ€" ment during the last few years has been the expansion of our mining inâ€" dustry., The imposition of a tariff which increases the cost of production lowers the net yield from the mines and reâ€" stricts development. The mining busiâ€" msess always does carry with it a cerâ€" tain amount of risk. The minimization of that risk is a means of increasing development. Mr. Crerar said: ‘It is sound policy to provide as cheaply as possible the equipment required by the people who are going to dig the wealth out of the earth, where, after all, it must come from. Therefore, any fiscal policy that imposes hardicaps on that, that throws disabilities around it, reâ€" tards, in my judgment, to just that extent the gq@velopment of the country." Mr. Crerar has in mind a group of Commissions, along the lines of the organization of the Department of Naâ€" tional Revenue. There will be a comâ€" missioner of mines, presumably Dr. Charles Camsell. There will be a comâ€" missioner of interior, another of imâ€" migration, and so forth. These men will have a rank almost equivalent to that of deputy minister. Over all the comâ€" missions will be a deputy minister of national resources. Offered Premier‘s Pos: While Hon. T. <A. Crerar is best known as a leader of organized agriâ€" culture, he has been also a notable sucâ€" c2ss in other fields. His business capaâ€" city was shown unmistakably in his nanagement of the Grain Grower‘s Grain Company. He could have been premier of Ontario, at one time, mereâ€" ly by saying "yes." He could have been premier of Manitoba on another occaâ€" sion, He has studied.the mining indusâ€" try, as he has studied the other basic industries, and he has a policy for them. Summed un in a word, it is this: "Remove all handicaps, and give them a chance to go ahead!" This came out in one of his spseches in the House of Commons. A recent commentator had this to say absut Mr. Crerar‘s mining speech: Hon. Mr.Crerar, who will guide the destinies of the Dominion mining world for the next few years, comes of Scotâ€" tish and Irish stock and was born at Molesworth, Hurcn county, 59 years ago. His paternal forebears emigrated from Glen Quaich to Perth, Ontario, in 1830, and the next generation moved west to Huron. In 1881, when young Hon. T. A.

ESTABLISHED 1817 HEAD OFFICE, MONTREAL Timmins Branch: D. ‘oup of of the of Naâ€" r@ comâ€" "Tom" was only five years old, his father migrated to Manitoba, taking up land at Silver Creek, then 85 miles from a rallway. He attended the little rural school which was opened in the district, worked on his father‘s farm, _and began to acgauire an education in ’the hope of becoming a surgeon. That was a devouring nassion for many, years, and he still speaks of the disâ€" appcintment with keen regret, He seâ€" cured sufficient education to teach schcol, and ssemed to be well on his way to medical college, when his eyeâ€" sight failed, and the doctors ordered him to take up outdoor life again. He left the schoolhouse for a farm of his own. He ran a sawâ€"mill in. the ‘Riding Mountains two or three winters. The farmers of that district had coâ€" ’operated to start a little grain eleâ€" | vator of their own, and, casting about for an honest young man to run it, they invited Tom Crerar to take the oo at $75 a month. As a farmer. Crerar had already come into rather bitier contact with the private grain comâ€" panies which were gouging the farmer for all the traffic would bear. As the manager of a local elevator, he began taking an interest in the Grain Growâ€" ers‘ organizaticocn which was beginning to handle the farmers‘ grain. He beâ€" came a shareholder in the new farmers‘ company, and made one or two suggesâ€" tions which attracted the attention of tions which attracted the attention of the executive. The president of the farmers‘ comâ€" pany, E. A. Partridge, was looking about for a successor, and to the amazement of young "Tom" Crerar, he was qrafted from the job of running a "two by four" élevator at Russell to be given the post of president of the Grain Growers‘ Grain Company. That was in 1907, when Crerar was 31 years old. He stayed with the company as it grew, through storm and sunshine, to be one of the largsst grain companies in the world. In Union Cabinet His advent into politics was, like his venture into the business world, a case of the right man being unwillingly drafted into the job. When the Union Government was being formed, it was dsemeq essential to ostain a strong man from the West who would enjoy the confidence and support of the prairie farmers and sufficient pressure was applied to T. A. Crerar to induce him to run in Marquette. He joined Bordsn‘s Union Government as minisâ€" ter of agriculture. Two years later, the war having been won, he resigned from the Cabinet as a protest against tariff increases proposed by the government. Almost immediately he foung himself the centre of an agrarian political movement which began in Alberta and swept across a large section of Canada. He came to Ottawa in 1921 as leader of 64 Progressives. But he found the new party difficult to lsad and satisfy, and two years later he resigned from the leadership of the party. He droppeq out for a while from political life, and founded one of the best Holstein herds in Canada, placing a brother in charge. He ztayed with the grain compary he had helped to put on its feet.. In 1929 Ottawa called again. He was drafted into Mackenzie King‘s administration to fill Charley Dunâ€" ning‘s vnlace, the latter having moved over to the Finance post when Hon. James Robb died. . WHITE, Manager goes all the way through :the business, Our cusâ€" tomers are either cash buyers or have good credit. Most of them have chequing or savings accounts at the Bank and are sure of their ability to pay on our terms before they make purchases on their charge accounts." Now he is back at Ottawa, directing j the responsible portfolio of Natural Reâ€" sources. The biggest department in it is that of Mines. Until such time as Immigration again becomes an active portfolio, it is likely that the energy and forethought of the new minister will be chiefly directed to the rapidly growing industry which has done more than anything else to tide Canada| through the depression. l There has been several references in The Advance. recently to hunting parties who have had their quota of deer, but on the other hand there have been partiss who have fallen down badly in this particular. More than one party returning to town this aâ€" son have commented on the fact that the deer are becoming searcer or hardâ€" er to get, or something. New Liskeard apparently has hag somewhat similar experience this season. The New Lisâ€" keard Speaker last week said:â€"â€" "Although several parties went out from New Liskeard to enjoy the early days of the open deer season, the genâ€" eral result has been most disappointing, so far as the securing of game is conâ€" cerned. Of course, the majority of the boys leok unon the actual killing of deer as of secondary importance, and really not necessary so far as having an enâ€" joyable outkig in the bush is concernâ€" ed. The goodâ€"fellowship of the hunt is what really counts with the majority of the boys, and, regardless of the numâ€" ber of deer they bring home the Lisâ€" keard boys are always outspoken in reâ€" gard to the good times enjoyed by all. However, the scearcity of deer is a fact which seems to have been proved in many camps. Although there had been evident signs of the presence of deer it cnly needed the light fall of snow gurâ€" ing the second week to convince the hunters that the deer were not present in any great numbers and the general belief is that wolves have played havoc with deer during the past winter and early spring months. In some sections it is believed that summer killing has been going on and those sections will be more carefully watched than forâ€" merly, whils more stringent regulations will be adopted to take care of the wolf Deer Hunting in North has Besn Disappointing ap $E t HF PORCUPINE ADVANCE TTMMIN3S ONTARIO "A Italy Makes Reply * ‘"/ to the Other Nations | _ While there has besn considerable | publicity given to Ethiopia‘s side of the case, the press of the world has not given as much attention, perhaps, to lltaly and its side of the case. For this reason the following to The Adâ€" vance by the ‘"Royal Consulate General of Italy, is hereby presented in full so readers may learn what Italy has to say itself The note is headsd:â€""Sumâ€" mary of the Note sent by Italy to the governments of all nations approving isanctions. The following is the text in full :â€" = This note was presented to the Canâ€" adian Government, on November l1th, 1935, by L. Petrucci, Royal Italian Conâ€" sul General in Ottawa. It contained seven points, as follows: Point 1.â€"Refers to Italy‘s note to the League on Ortober 7 and to the objecâ€" tion by the Italian delegate against the Geneva Italoâ€"Ethicopian deliberations. Rejects the accusation that the Italian Government has violated its obligations under the League pact and says Italy renews the "strongest and fullest proâ€" test against the seriousness and injusâ€" tice of the procedure adopted against Italy." Note Sent to Canada and Other Nations Gives Italy‘s Reply to "Sancâ€" tions." | Therefore, Italy considers each govâ€" ernment is individually judge of, and ‘responsible for, the measures against IILaly. ! These sanctions would be applied ‘therefore for the first time against \Italy, the note adds, under conditions Iwhich Italy considers unjust and arbiâ€" trary and against which the Italian Government raises the firmest opposiâ€" ition. It based its objections on two pointsâ€" that the reasons (for Italy‘s measures against Ethiopia) contained in the Italian memorandum to the League have never been given due consideraâ€" tion; that the League Covenant has not been applied in toto but cnly Article XVI has been singled out. # Point 2.â€"That events since the last meeting of the League Assembly have ccnfirmeg Italy‘s stand with regard to Ethicpia both on juridical and moral grounds. It says large sections of the Ethiopia population, headsd by their civil and religious authorities, have put themselves under the prctection of Italy and calls attention that the Italâ€" lan Government has abolished slavery in all territory it has occupied in Ethiopia. Sixtsen thousand slaves, it continues, so far have been freed by Italy. It then notes the antiâ€"slavery obligations assumeq by Ethiopia at the time of its admission to the League. The freed populations do not see Italy as an aggressor state, it says, but as a power able to give them the proâ€" tegtion which Article XXII of the League Covenant recognizes as the civilizing mission of the more adâ€" vanced nations. The note then asks that these condiâ€" tions be taken into consideration and that the League draw necessary conâ€" clusions from them. It asserts it is undeniable that from such happenings a new duty devolves upon Italy beâ€" cause of reprisals against the freed pepulations should Italian protection end. Point 3.â€"Without acknowledging the reality of the facts, the League has applied strictly the letter of the Coâ€" venant and killed its spirit. Through a very hasty procedure, it says, the govâ€" ernments of many states have been brought to envisage application upon Italy of measures of pressure suggested by a Coâ€"ordination Committee which is not a proper organ of the League of Nations. Italy does not recognize the legitimacy of the Committee, it adds. Point 4.â€"The embargo on arms and munitions to Italy and the free sale of such materials to Ethiopia is a measure which the Italian Government had deâ€" nounced to the League and which has compelled Italy to take urgent measâ€" ures for the protection of the security of her African colonies. Far from facilitating the end of the conflict, the note says, such a measure woulq tend to prolong the conflict itself. The shipping of arms to Ethiopia, to which the League has now given imâ€" pulse, it says, is contrary to the proâ€" sals of the League that Ethiopia should be subject to severe interâ€" national control wiiich check on the dangerous crder in the country. Point 5.â€"The Coâ€"ordination Commitâ€" tee has decided the application of many measures of economic and financial naâ€" ture without taking account of the acter without taking account Of the fact that sanctions of this type were never applied before in other conflicts PBoth in their economic and moral should put a state of disâ€" aspects, the note calls the serious atâ€" !t‘sntion of each League member to the gravity of the proposed measures and |the conssquences <~they are likely to | bring, not only to a country which has | taken an important part in the work of collaboration among nations,. but also | it adds, to the troubled economic situâ€" ‘ation of the world, the recovery of which will be hampered. |â€"â€"The note says that no one can deny the Italian Government the right and lthe necessity in which it finds itself to protect and insure the very existence of its people. Italy, it adds, will be forced to ‘take measures of an economic and financial character, which might bring about considerable qisruption of the naticnal currents of trade. Pcint 6.â€"The boycott on Italian exâ€" ports, more than an economic measâ€" ure, is a real act of hostility which amply justifies Italian counterâ€"measâ€" ures. Although Italy is an interested party to the conflict, the note adds, Italy does not believe it is less Oobâ€" jeoctive when it says that the artificial attempt to cut off from the world eccromy a market of 44,000,000 people contains the danger of having immediâ€" ate repercussions on the lives of milâ€" lions of workers throughout the world. Both the sanctions and the counterâ€" sanctions, it says, will finally have very serious consequences of a moral and psychological order, raising a disturbâ€" ance of spirit which may far outlive sanctions. Point 7.â€"Italy, which derives her status as a founderâ€"member of the League from sacrifices of blood paid in order that the League might be creatâ€" ed, has not wished up until now to leave the Geneva organization because she wanted to prevent as far as possible dangerous complications. Italy has taken all measurss to preâ€" vent further dangers from arising from the present situation, the note says, but she believes she is justified today in calling to the attention of the League members their resporsibility for the measures concerneg and to the gravity of their consequences. "The Italian Governmsnt asks to be advised how your Government in its free and sovereign judgment intends to act with regard to the measures proâ€" posed against Italy," the note concludes. Since the recent offer of The Quaker Oats Company, Saskatoon, of a free beokiet entitled "The Quaker Method of Fasy Baking," thousands of Wesâ€" tern Canadian housewives have disâ€" covered that they can save time, work and waste in baking bread and rolls and other delicious foods. The Quaker booklet is given away free simply upon recsipt of a request from Western housewives. Another significant fact is that more and more of Western Canada‘s finest cooks are turning to Quaker Flour for bread, cakes and pastry.

Story About Immediate Reduction Not Correct wise ang that capital was thnsrefore iimid and was being he!ld back from investing in Northern Canada because of the uncertainty of taxation. This uncertainty, he said, must be removed ‘"since mining activity in the vast Northern preâ€"Cambrian area afforded the greatest possibilities for progress in the next decade." He further deâ€" clared that Canadians could develop the mining fislds on a sound and sane basis and believed the industry affordâ€" ed the best opportunity o lighten the unemployment burden and produce wealth. New capital woulqd be forthâ€" coming when uncertainty was removed. Not a word about tax reductions was uttered by Mr. Crerar, but the signifiâ€" carce those around thie board room atâ€" tacheq to his temarks was sufficient to increase the paper valuation of mining stccks by many millions in a few hours. At any rate the industry itself, and the security market as well, places conâ€" siderable importance to the address of Mr. Crerar ang to the prospective reâ€" sults of the coming federalâ€"provincial confersnce. It is important, as the new minister of mines says, that the unâ€" certainty regarding taxation be reâ€" moved in order that capital may proâ€" ceed in development with the secure knowledgs as to what wiii nave to be cortributed to the state in the years to come. The general tone of the minisâ€" ter‘s speech should inspire confidence among investors with respect to mining securities."

Campbiill of the Ford Motor Ccocmpany of Canada, Limited, who made the statement while in Toronto at the National Motor Show. Mr. Campbell announced that by the end of the year the company would show: Total payroll in Canada for the year of figure equaled in 1930 and â€"excesded only in 1926, 1928 and 1929. Results for the first nine months of 1935, he stated, showed average earnâ€" ings of $965 for factory employees, as compared with $1,096 in 12 months of 1934. self if he paid less attention to noise and more to rackets. The average factory payroll in 1934 was 4.140 employees engaged on proâ€" duction. The average factory payroll in 1935 is 6,371 employees engaged on production. "During te depression," Mr. Campâ€" bell continued, "we realized clearly thers gould be no progress toward reâ€" covery until men got back to work. That was the first consideration. Our efforts were directed to this end and the figures qucted show what has beon accomplished. "We are hopeful that we may now be cntering this phase of recovery, alâ€" though, as announsed last April, rising costs, and our reluctancs to increase prices and thereby hazard the reducâ€" ticon of volume and consequent unemâ€" plcyment, have not permitted an adeâ€" quate margin of profit on our operaâ€" tors.
