Some would sweep away every vestige of securities fraud and blue sky legislation, dependgâ€" ing on efficient administration of the laws against theft and misrepresentaâ€" tion to prevent abuses. Others say that goes far too far; they think that Dominion profis, taxes and exchange restrictions have done more harm than Securities Act restrictions and that it is hard to interest people in mining properties or stocks while markets are low and inactive. J. Y. Murdoch, a the annual meetâ€" |mg of Noranda Mines Limited, stressed the fact that it is of the greatest |public interest to keep alive a class of men who must be depended on to bring in future mines which will replace the ‘major producers of today when in the ‘course of time they are depleted. The .largest producers bring as much wealth and provide as much work as a large number of small mines. The latter are worthwhile because our biggest mines were small once, and their preâ€" ‘sent size unforeseen, but the small !mines will have to be brought in by the score in order that development of these will uncover the occasional big ‘producer.

What Killed Prospecting: Now Revive It! | __Mr. Murdoch found the causes forl ""prospecting being killed in this counâ€" try" to be "unfair taxation, illâ€"adviseq regulations and too many of them, and a constant change of laws and regulaâ€" tions." This department isâ€" entirely conâ€" vinced that Mr. Murdoch is correct in his view that freedom of action is needed in a very large degree to spur prospecting. This department also recognizes, as does the Prospectors and Developers‘ Association when it asks for freedom to make their own dickers, that it is desirable in some way to reâ€" strain the initiative and enterprise of flyâ€"byâ€"night operators because they only subtract from the wealth of the people and throw a doubt on every honest endeavour as well.

In freality. however, the continent of ‘Europe is more accurately described by that phrase in the opinion of J W. T. Mason. Certainly, as conditions exist today, the British navy has command of the sea and the axis is held within the continent of Europe, unable to break through to the outer world. With a speedâ€"up of American shipâ€"building for British account, Herr Hitler must have small hope that he can crush the Britâ€" ish mercantile fleet. Claims by Germany that British conâ€" trol of the seas has been destroyed can have been made only to stimulate home morale. There is not the slightest room for believing the axis can break down the British blockade under any future condition now foreseeable. Great Britain is not besieged because it is open to shipping from the western world and the Orient. The European continent, however, is locked within itself, unable to maintain commercial intercourse with the rest of the world because of the British navy‘s control of the ocean traffic lanes.
