Manitoba Not To Join Two Provinces in Drive To North

————————. I !■ ■■MMT*—!■ Bride’s Pie—Dainty and Delicious |

Winnipeg, Man. — Because it would "only add to tne difficulties of provincial administration,” the Manitoba government has displayed bo active interest in the “march to ■ the Arctic” movement now current in British Columbia and Alberta. The statement followed suggestion that the province link with British Columbia and Alberta in a drive to obtain permission of the Federal goverment to extend their northern boundaries, and ask incorporation of all territories north to the Arctic Ocean within the parallels of their respective boundaries. Premier John Bracken told the United Press that Manitoba is not yet ready to consult the Federal government regarding boundary extensions. Proponents of the project who see no reason why Manitoba should not join the movement to enlarge, if her sister provinces do likewise, point out that the suggested northward extension of the province’s western boundary, would enlarge it by nearly 220,000 square miles. The resultant inclusion of vast Arctic and sub-arctic peninsulas eKitomatically would change the province’s classification as a “prairie province” to that of the leading maritime province in the Dominion. Due to ice conditions, however, the coastline involved is fit for shipping less than six months in a year, even though the province could lay claim to the longest coastline in the Dominion. On top of the vast territorial gain and the increase in shipping possibilities, Manitoba also would stand to gain vast reserves of pulpwood, furs and gold. Today’s statement, however, reversed the province’s long-standing attitude on expansionism. wb^U has often embroiled her i" territorial arguments, b^th ' 1 her sister provinces, and LLe Federal government. At. one time Manitoba was the postage stamp province of the Dominion. the smallest provincial territory in Canada, with the exception of Prince Edward Island. Th)t province began its expan-: sion drive in the 1890s, fighting its way up from a tiny encircled area bordered roughly on the north by Lake Winnipeg, and on the south by the international line. In a series of legal “putches” she drove her boundary northward to include-most of the area surrounding Lake Winnipeg, and expanded cast and west to the present limits. Later the eastern boundary was extended toward Hudson Bay, providing a port and an outlet' for the marine grain trade for the first time. CANADA STUDIES MEDICAL SURVEY

Since white is the traditional color for brides, keep that in mind when planning your menu and table decorations. But an all-white menu would be a little monotonous, so add a bit of color by means of garnishes and perhaps a colorful jellied salad. Here is a suggestion for a rneKT that would do nicely for a luncheon or buffet supper. If it is a bridge or late afternoon party you have in mind, then the salad and pie alone would do the trick. Assorted openface sandwiches could keep the salad company.

ARMY ENLARGED IN SOUTH AFRICA

Montreal—A survey of the medical manpower of Canada to allow the Dominion, in the event of a national emergency, to maintain an adequate medical corps in the field and at the same time to retain sufficient doctors at home, is proposed by Dr. Newman B. Freedman, of Montreal, in the current issue of the Canadian Doctor. Dr. Freedman proposes that the survey should be taken on separate provincial bases under the auspices of the various provincial Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, and suggests that the provincial registrars collect the information from their members and forward it to some central office in Ottawa, either under the auspices of the Canadian Medical Association or under the direction of the Medical Council of Canada. He believed the best source of funds to finance the survey would be the Dominion Treasury, and states that a special grant to the central officte of the survey at Ottawa would make the whole survey dependent on the central co-

ordinating office.

Revision Called Simple

While he recognized that the initial cost might be considerable, as in the first survey an organization would have to be set up and the return of the total medical profession tabulated, he believes that the annual revision would require simply notation of the changes in the various provincial registers, deletion of the names of those who abandon practice, recording of the date of new doctors’ licenses, and revision of lists

for • changes in location.

Cape Town, South Africa -—South Africa is pushing forward its defense plans to enable the quick mobilization of every man fit to carry a rifle. The scheme for dual registration .—compulsory for all men who have undergone peace training, and voluntary for men between 17 and 6ff who have undergone no training at all—is estimated to put 250,000 more men on the books of the defense department when fully in operation. Brig. Gen. J. J. Collyer, a member of the South African Defense Council, has been appointed direc-tor-general of reserves, and will have his headquarters in Pretoria. A recent estimate of the Union’s military strength showed: Infantry available at short notice, 28,000': infantry available after three months, 53,000; reserve of riflemen, 150,000; police 12,000. Special Battalions Formed There are about 150 “commandos” in which 4,500 men are beginning technical training, a special service battalion of 1,900 men, and a pioneer battalion of' 500. The Union has 12 artillery batteries, one tank section, one armored car section, and two. armored

trains.

Air force strength has been increased, and includes five training squadrons, two bomber and fighter squadrons, a railway reconaissanee squadron, and a troopcarrying squadron. There are 150 trained pilots; 432 • pilots and 2,080 mechanics. The Union is making plans for manufacturing the Bren gun and other weapons under the supervision of experts formerly employed in the Skoda works. What is regarded by many as a serious flaw has been discovered in the Union Defense Act, and there is considerable agitation for its amendment. When the act was passed in -1912, there was no possibility of the Union being threatened from beyond the confines of South Africa. The act made all persons between 17 and 60 liable to serve in defense “in any part South Africa.” 0 ' NEW SHOES BY RUSE

Shark Fishers Bring In Pair At Same Time

Sydney, Australia. —Zane Grey, American novelist and deep-sea-fishing sportsman, had the “fisherman’s luck” of being obliged to stand unnoticed in a crowd and watch the weighing of three sharks, totaling 933 pounds, including two which had been landed simultaneously, and which had been caught by three of his assistants, without his participation. The latter were Gus Bagnard and the Lyle brothers, who constitute his aides-de-camp. They had gone to sea without Grey and fought simultaneously with two sharks. Bagnard occupied the chair astern, while one of the Lyles raced around the forward deck, battling to keep his line free from entanglements. His brother maneuvered the boat. At one stage Bagnard had 975 yards of line out and only 25 yards left on his reel. Lyle’s bag was a whaler shark, 10 feet 11 inches long, weighing 413 pounds, and a striped marlin, 8 feet 10 inches long, weighing 205

pounds.

Gus caught a Mako shark* 8 feet 3 inches long, weighing 315 pounds. o

Washington, June 30.—President Roosevelt’s plan for hemispherical solidarity of the Americas is making rapid progress, despite sporadic pin pricking setbacks in isolated areas, according to administration officials. They cited the rapid growth of United C . LLiliUuy, naval, agricultural and other missions assigned to various Latin American countries, at the request of those governments, as one example of expanding cooperation between North and South and Central America in affairs relating to hemispherical defense. The United States now maintains military missions in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Nicaragua and Guatemala. It maintains naval missions in Argentine, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The governments of Brazil, Nicaragua and Haiti have requested the loan of United States agricultural products which will be noncompetitive with those of the United States. Wide Variety of Requests. An expert on immigration problems has been lent to the Dominican Republic; a tariff expert and an authority on child welfare problems to Peru; a librarian to Venezuela; road and highway building experts have ueen requested by Ecuador, Colombia and virtually all the Central American countries, in connection with construction of the Pan American highway. Officials said requests for the loan of other experts on finance, fisheries, railroad rates, and other affairs are arriving so rapidly from Latin American countries that it is difficult to fill all of them. The Bolivian government recently suggested the dispatch of an United States mission of geological and engineering experts to survey Bolivian mineral resources, particularly tin, with a view to joint efforts to exploit these re-

sources.

In addition to these cooperative efforts, the United States recently agreed to Extend financial assistance to Brazil to establish a free exchange, and Import-Export bank loans to increase exports of United States products to Brazil. o ITALIAN HEN IN LIMELIGHT Faenza, Italy—Italian poultry experts here are studying the strange case of a hen which it has been discovered, has for the past five years been laying an egg containing two yolks each day. 0

Newspaper publishers and editors in the United States are hardly conscious of the gregt liberty they enjoy. They can print most anything they like, and while the libel law may be considered a check, it is seldom invoked by those who are injured. Law suits against newspapers are few and far between, for usually the litigants get nowhere. As the American press goes merrily on, in Germany it is quite a different picture. Since the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933, more than 6,000 publications— books, periodicals and newspapers —have passed out of existence. Six years ago the German Press Almanach listed 4,703 daily newspapers. Today this figure has been reduced to 2,000. More than 1,500 persons have been ousted from journalism by Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister of propaganda and public enlightment. Strict orders were issued long ago that no Nazi party members must be seen in public reading any newspaper other than official party organs. President Roosevelt takes the jibes of the nation’s newspapers with a smile. And the things they say must hurt, too. Chief among those who hit below the belt is Howland Spencer, President Roosevelt’s late neighbor who sold his Krum Elbo estate to Father Divine and his colored followers, thinking to spite the President, and who is now a publisher of the Highland Post. This great intellect of Krum Pllbo declares the President’s “lack of intelligence” is probably pre-natal, and he spreads the story that the President has been “fertilized by the cabal of Morgenthaus, Lehmans, Frankfurters and Cohens.” Other slanderers have charged that the President’s mind has been permanently deranged by infantile paralysis. One news service went so far as to send out a confidential report to this effect. Medical authorities who have examined the President from time to time report that he is in better physical condition than when he entered the White House. All fairminded people, an<j your correspondent believes that the large majority of Americans are still fair-minded, will resent these attempts to smear Mr. Roosevelt.

pounds of corned beef were purchased, and at a price of $7,330. The meat packing trust in this country asked $10,940 for the same quantity. The superiority of the Argentina corned beef is unquestionable. Let those who talk economy in government give a good reason why the inferior corned beef should have been bought at a premium of more than $3,000. Grocery stores from coast to coast have been selling Argentine and Brazilian canned beef for years, this product bearing labels of such famous packers as Libby, Armour and Swift. Those who are attacking the President for permitting the Navy purchase probably buy Argentine corned beef in their own grocery stores.

Were Mr. Roosevelt inclined to set up a dictatorship, his first step be to muzzle the press which attacks him so bitterly. But he takes it on the chin with a grin. He is a much better sport about it than would be those who criticise. They couldn’t take it! After his last big ,radio speech (to the American Retail Federation), in which he again set out the objectives of the New Deal, 572 newspapers commented on it editorially. Only 12 favored his “government investment” ideas; 60 were lukewarm or mildy critical and the other 500 were more or less scathing. The strange thing is, that the same week of the speech, the Gallup poll showed Mr. Roosevlt’s popularity rising from 56 per cent to 58 per cent.

Niagara Falls, N. Y,—In line with other modern trends, gift stores at this historic tourist haven are changing their styles in souvenirs. Old-timers who made fortunes in dispensing mementos of trips to the thousands of tourists who visited Niagara Falls at the turn of the century would be amazed at the change in souvenirs now avail* able to the traveler. Years ago it was the old transparency view of the cataract, feather fans, miniature Indian canoes with their Indian braves and maidens, and the old beaded pincushion. Today souvenirs incude minute sofa and automobie cushions, made of firm silk and with a view of the falls on them, smart ash trays of metal and jade, costume jewelry with some remembrance of the cataract attached to them, and a smattering of Oriental novelties. The old transparency view of the falls and the feather i^ans have passed into oblivion. A tour of streets near the waterfall, where gift shops are centralized, disclosed just one transparency in a window display but failed to uncover a single feather fan. Indian bead work still is offered for sale because many of the Tuscarora women eke out a living by it, and dispose of their handiwork regularly. It is also possible to purchase cushions and leather pennants, and if a tourist searches long enough 1 he may find some moccasins—always made by Indians—but they are passing out, too. Spar jewelry still remains in a minor capacity, for most tourists are faseniated by the sales talk that the spar comes from the rocks under the cataract. In every shop, however, there is evidence that the old historic souvenirs are passe. In their places have come an array of modern, machine-made products that arouse the modern interest. The one consolation of old-timers is that the modern souvenir costs only a fraction of its predecessors’ price, which sometimes, when aided by a fancy sales talk, brought a sum that would purchase a wrist watch or diamond brooch today oFIREWORKS

A year from now the Presidential campaign will be in full swing. From all indications, the Republican party is going to offer its old 1928 model of goYernment. The Democratic party will again present an up-to-date streamline model. How do we kno wthe Republicans will not swing liberal? The boys who pay the bills are the boys who run the G.O.P. And who pays the bills? Treasurer C. B. Goodspeed of the Republican National Committee has just reported the committee’s receipts and disbursements to the clerk of the U. S. House of Representatives for the first three months of this year. Thirteen persons gave the committee $4,000 each. The group included three Rockfellers, two Mellons, two Weirs and a duPont.

Decentralized Indu s t r y Would Strengthen Military Power

Shanghai, June 30.—The possibility that Japan may succeed in building up new industrial areas throughout China, even without substantial foreign financial assistance, is foreseen by some foreign military and naval circles. These quarters predicted the entire Far Eastern military situation might undergo a revolutionary change, with serious consequences for any future enemies of Japan. At present, it was pointed out, Japan’s major industrial establishments are concentrated in a few Japanese cities. They are vulnerable to attack in event of war against an enemy possessing powerful aerial forces. The tendency of the Japanese army to speed up development of a dozen scattered industrial areas throughout China, indicated that within a few years Japan’s means of production of vital wartime supplies may not only be greater but. decisively les^ vulnerable to enemy attacks because of widespread deconcentration. Recent reports that the government is subsidizing industries which will agree to move from Japan to Manchukuo bear out this belief.Sea Lines Are Short Foreign naval officials pointed out Japan does not face a problem of long overseas communication lines to the same degree which confronts Great Britain in wartime. They called attention to Japanese naval strength—which is not only growing constantly but has suf-fered-virtually no tonnage losses in the China war—as probably able to transport supplies from China by the short sea route to Japan, which is less than 500 miles from Shanghai. Additionally, Japan now controls all the major Chinese railways, over which goods from the interior industrial areas such as Nanking, Hankow, Kaifeng. Isinan and Taiyuan could be transported to the central and north China coasts. If necessary, these goods could be routed through Banchukuoan and Korean railways to Fusan and then shipped to Moji, only 120 miles across the heavily fortified Korean Straits. Foreign military observers pointed out there has been considerable misunderstanding cf the immediate Japanese army objectives in China. They said the immediate aims, instead of being complete territorial control, were: 3. Control and development of industrial centers in which the Chinese have left considerable machinery undamaged despite efforts to ’“scorch the earth.” 2. Control of important ore mines which likewise have escaped serious damage during the Chinese retreats. 3. Control of limited North China areas vTiere important crop developments such as cotton are believed possible within a reasonable period of years. 4. Control of railways over which raw materials and an increasing volume of manufactured products may be exported. 5. Control of major China coast ports from which Japan will seek eventually to squeeze all thirdpower interests. , Many commentators contend Japan will fail in those objectives because of financial shortcomings and guerrilla attacks throughout China. o FALL WITH “DANNY DEEVER.”
