L PARKENT, These public debts include only direct obligations, but there ars contingent liabilities of $4,925,000,000 during the year. Increase in public debt for the year resulted from Government borâ€" rowing to meet the eighth deficit in a row, but the smallest since the depresâ€" sion began. Government revenue.. for the year was $6,242,000,000, compared with $5,294,000,000 in the previous yrar and estimate of $5,500,000,000 for the current fiscal year to end June 30, 1939, by which time the public debt will exâ€" ceed $40 billion by estimate. As we see the sitution, it is merely a matter of arithmetic. How long can such attrition go on! Oneâ€"third of the population sustained by the other twoâ€"thirds. of which but a small fraction contributes largely! Creation of new wealth largely halted; the morâ€" ale of a people dulled, if not killed; the initiative and independence which made the country great strangled for substituted regimentation; capital set (From Gloke: and Mail) Since the tromendous new spending programme in the United States must necâ€"ssarily exert a collateral effect upâ€" on industrial conditions in Canada, it might be well to look over the situation briefly, so that we may have a basis upon which to calculate its probable effect upon us. As the big orgy starts, the per capita debt of the United States stands at $285, up $4 last year. Total debt at the »nd of the fiscal year ended June 30 was $37,164,740,315, the addition during the year having been $740,126,583. Inâ€" terest payments upon this huge amount required $926,280,713 â€" almost onsâ€" seventh of all Government expenses. Effect on Canada of U.S. New Deal Policy What Does the New Spendâ€" ing Orgy Hold for Canâ€" ada? As svery one knows, the first spendâ€" inz bee of the New Deal Administraâ€" tion exerted some artificial effect upon conditions, up till early in 1937, but with cessation of expenditure upon the colossal scalr of the previous years, the bottom fell out again and the second phase of the great depression arrived, accentuated by the kick from behind by the President, who, in March of 1937, inveighed against the high level to which prices for durable goods had risenâ€"one of the original purposes of extravagant pumpâ€"priming, according to early explanations of the splurge. According to the quarterly figures of the International Labor Organization issued at Geneva, unemployment in nine countries, including United States, Canada, Great Britain, Prance and Belgium, was greater in the second quarter of this year than in the same prriod of 1937, although thef® was an improvement in all other countries but United States, Canada and Belgium. Total unemployed in United States was set at 11,129,000, or 2,816,000 more than a year ago and 156,000 more than in the first quarter. Compared with 1929, employment in United States declined from 97.5 per cent. last year to 76 per cent. this year. When, to the number actiually receivâ€" ing cheques, are added members of their families and other dependents, the complete total would pass 40 million, including 17 million affected by the Work Relief and Social Security proâ€" grammes; 18 million concerned with the farm programme, and other milâ€" lions dependent on Government workâ€" ers and on veterans‘ pensions. From an unimpeachable authority in the United States, we are now advised that practically oneâ€"third of the entire population of the country is sustained by Government contributions. During the last half of 1937, Government cheques were received by 10,750,000 peoâ€" ple, while in the last half of 1938 it is estimated that the Government payroll will embrace no fewer than 12,750,000. In the early part of 1933 the number was just over 2,000,000. Excluded from the total are the personnel of army and navy and the nearly 2,000,000 families receiving direct relief from the indiviâ€" dual States and citiecs and who are supâ€" plied with an important part of their food by the Federal Government. If these persons were added, the total would be well over 15,000,000. cists was held in secret in Kingston, Ont., as police|Kingston, shows delegates to the convention, LEFT ;s 8 , f o RIGHT : Seated, Adrian Arcand, Joseph Farr, Toâ€" took steps to prevent any demonstration between the | ronto: D.

You‘d (From Simcoe Reformer) With the arrival of summer and the speecdingâ€"up of activities throughout the countryside, one might have thought that the transient problem would be finished until fall. On the contrary we have heard numerous complaints from householders that they are still being bothered by transients. Not only that, but some citizens have given board and lodging to strangers who claimed to have secured work in this vicinity and would pay later, but who failed to do so. against labor and vice versa; ~wilful stubbornness in the saddle, pius incomâ€" petence, insxperience and party greed in the highest place! â€" How can it win? In our opinion, the present spending spree will show results for a while, deâ€" pending upon the tempo with which the funds of the people are shovelled out under the urge of party politics But that it will eventually fall in its purpose to set the wheels of industry going on a permanent basis we have not the slightest doubt. Youâ€" cannot rob Peter to pay Paul everlastingly. New wealth cannot be created under the lash of class hatred, nor can rconâ€" omics be forever ignored. Buffalo Ankerite production of $1,â€" 502,778 for 6 months cf 1938, compares with $1,311,143 in the first half of 1937, while average recovery was $8.32 against $8.08. The company is mainâ€" taining $1 per share annual dividend, with the policy adopted by directors of conserving hereafter a good portion of surplus earnings in building up reserve and to meet special requirements and expenditures. Jamesâ€"Do you know, you‘re not a badâ€"looking girl. Generally ~speaking the man <~who honestly wants work but cannot find it and who is without resources, comâ€" mands our sympathy. But there can be little excuse at this time of year f¢r a man failing to secure work.. Any ableâ€"bodied man should find employâ€" ment in the tobacco fields or in hoeing field crops, and failing that, he can at least earn enough to buy meals and a night‘s lodging by picking berries. The troubl»> is that quite a few of these men are anxious to exert themselves to the extent of a day‘s hard work. It may be that several years of unemâ€" have softened them up or perhaps they just naturally prefer to beg from door to door rather than spending their time in useful activity. We have ssen a number of these genâ€" try around town lately and we have come to believe that it would be a good thing if our town police became more rigorous with them. The Reformer realizes that the local police have had a difficult problem to handle in taking care of the transients. They have implored citizens not to hand out money to them, pointing out that it only made the situation that much more difficult. The police have given meal tickets and lodging to every deserving case, at the same time warnâ€" ing all transients not to loiter about the commiunity. Lack of coâ€"operation on the part of citizens has probably caused them some discouragement. We believe today, however, that the vast majority of householders would give \ l their wholeâ€"hearted approval to police action that would rid the town of paraâ€" sites who will not work.

The moderate variation im these figures in the quarter suggests little change in scale of earnings, providing there is no important difference in operating costs and other writeâ€"offs. In the ist quarâ€" ter, operating costs averaged $4.11 per ton, and net profits amoiinted to 36.2 cents per share. In the lst quarter of 1937 earnings were 30 cents per share. Production of Ankerite $1,502,778 for Six Months C #even (From Perth Courier) A few days ago a conviction was secured in court at Perth against a sawmill operator for allowing sawdust to float into a lake, endangering the lish. This brought to light a little known factâ€"that when fish eat sawâ€" dust, they often die from the poison in the wood. Some kinds of wood are fatal to fish. A floating elm log, for instance, can contaminate the water immediately surrounding it. The oil which the water brings out of the log causes sores to form on the sides of fish, although it â€"does not necessarily kill them. Game Warden Fortest Richâ€" ardson is to be commended for his zeal in putting a stop to the sawdust menâ€" ace. Another frequent cause of poisoning which is not generally known is that suffered by ducks. Recently the Deâ€" partment of Game and FPisheries reâ€" ceived information that some kind of disease was affecting the Cicks in a wellâ€"known hunting locality. A numâ€" ber of blue bills had been found dead Ducks Suffer from "Lead Poisoning" Pick up Lead Shot in Feedâ€" ing. Alloy to be Used by Hunters. District Officesâ€"Bank of Commerce Buildings, Timmins, Ont. The monthly bulletin of the departâ€" ment quotes an authority who states this poisoning of waterfowl is not hard to understand when one recalls how thoroughly the birds work over attracâ€" tive food areas. A flock of 200 to 300 ducks may find sufficient food in cerâ€" tain marshy areas to hold their attenâ€" tion for several successive weeks. They go over every square foot of this area, and any food overlooked by one bird is likely to be picked up by another. It is during this search for food that they pick up the lead shot. As many as 288 shots of various sizes have been found in the 'gizzard of one birda. The abraâ€" sive action of grit under the pressure of the powerful gizzard muscles grinds the shot away and much of the lead found in waterfowl is in the form of irregularly shaped fragments. Thus this duck, with hundreds of others which managed to escape the barrage of gunfire set up by hunters the preceding fall, had nevertheless fallen prey to those guns. The shot which had missed the ducks had beâ€" come scattered all over the marsh and had been eaten by the luckless waterâ€" fowl. As few as four or five pelliets are enough to kill one duck. and others were in the last stages of sickness. An investigation showed that their condition was due to lead poisonâ€" ing. A dead bird turned over to the Research Laboratory was found to have 29 lead pellets in the gizzard and inâ€" testines. It is the absorption of the lead as it passes through the intestines in a groundâ€"up condition which gives rise to characteristic symptoms. The affected birds first lose the powâ€" er of flight. This is followed by a genâ€" cral collapse, when both swimming and walking are impossible, and the birds arr almost helpless. Even should they manage to escape the ravages of the poison, they often fall victims to the elements or to natural predators before they have a chance to recover. It is hard that the ducks, which would seem to have enough to put up with every fall when the hunters get after s801B Rich in experience, equipped with ample resources and worldâ€"wide facilities, this centuryâ€"old institution strongly invites conâ€" sideration from those secking a banking connection.
