The remaind- er of Canada's crude oil produc- tion comes from wells in south- western Ontario, the Moncton field in New Brunswick, and Fort Nor- man in the Northwest Territories. Oil from the Norman wells is used to supply the fuel needs of the radium mines at Great Bear Lake and other mining properties in the Northwest Territories, as well as supplying the motive power for most of the transportation in this area.

Department of Mines and Resources at Ot-tailva is organized to meet the requirements of the mineral in- dustry of Canada in the fields of geology, method of ore treatment, and ilscs for minerlfs, the industry. and particularly the prospector. by the examination of promising mineral areas and by

publication of detailed maps and health

reports on these areas. It follows

l'_ these services by maintaining ‘s

fully equipped metallurgical la- boratories at Ottawa, and full use of these is being made by mining operators throughout Canada. Matters relating to plant. operation, ore treatment processes, alloys, and i metallurgical problems of all de- scription. are dealt with daily. Enquiries as to suitable typos of equipment for new milling opera- tions are handled, and most of the gold mines in Canada which have entered production during the past decade are using ore treatment pro- cesses in some form or other that have been devised in the Depart- ment's laboratories.

The variety and abundance of Canadas mineral resources places her in a favourable position to help the cause of the Allies b_v supply- ing in large quantities their min- cral and metal requirements for war purposes. The Canadian min- lng industry. which played such a notabe part in helping the Do- minim! l0 fight the depression of a few years ago. seems destined now to make n still greater con- tribution to the wider struggle a- gainst dictatorship and aggression.

[Moslcms Want India

LEAGUE HEAD SAYS THEY CAN NEVER EVOLVE common NATIONALITY wrrn HINDU PEOPLE.

By G. u. POWELL Canadian Press Lil-respondent CALCUTFA. April 24—(CP)—-In President. M. A. Jinnah, the All-In- dia Moslem League has a strong head. The recent League session in Lahore gave him an opportunity of asserting leadership just as pro- nounced as Mahatma Gandhi's

over the Congress party.

Five years ago the League was split into two weak rival sections and had little electoral strength. In late years, however, it experienced a remarkable resurgence owing to Jinnah‘s leadership and the clumsy handling of the Moslem minorities by Congress governments in the provinces.

The Moslerns propose that their independent Northern and Easier Federations shall be permanently allied with Great Britain. They are free from fads either about the suinning wheels or the dictatorship of the proletariat-creed: of the Congress right and left wings re- spectively.

Avoweri objective of the Congress ls independence for a united India, the constitution to be settled by a constituent assembly. Jinnah, on the contrary, says that Islam and Hinduism are not religions in the

strict sense o! the word but are dif- l

ferent social orders “and it. is only e dream- that Hindus and Moslems can ever evolve n common nation- ality."

What Mosleml Went

"if the British government are in earnest about securing the peace and happinem of the people of this sub-continent, the only course open to us nil is to allow me major ne- tlons separate homeian‘ by divid- ing India info autonomous national states," Jinnah argues.
