The English "dock defence" system has been introduced in New’ South \\'ales courts. Un- der the system any prisoner possessing $6.00 in cash for a fee may brief any rohcd barrister in court. The accused may not see cottuscls face before he makes his selection. On the first day of the introduction of the system five accused indicated that they would like to avail themselves of the privilege, but only two pos- sessed the necessary fee. Chairs were arrang- ed in neat rows on either side of the Bar table. facing the Bench with their hacks to the dock. A fcvv ntinutes before the judge entered the court l4 yotittg barristers filed in and took their places. The two accused could see only rows of wigs and black gowns. One chose “the mid- dle man in the back row," who was Mr. G. Coyle, son of judge Coyle. The other chose “the. first gentlcnlztn on the right in the front row." The first accused explained later that he had “simply taken pot luck" in making his sch-c- tion. lint the other accused said that his choice had been governed by the fact that the barris-

ter he had selected “wore the oldest wig." 1F l

British and foreign cotttrol of companies op- erating in Canada has recently been the sub- ject of survey by the statistical service of the Doininiott Government. Some time ago an esti- mate of the total lritish and foreign capital invested i11 Canada was published, which show- erl a total value for such investnlctlt in 1936 of $13,333 tnilliott. An atlalysis of these invest- ments just issued shows a total of $2,168 mil- li1i1l as “direct investments.” the essence of the dt-flnitiotl being that the control of the com- panies concerned is located OUIFlIlC Czmttda. On the llllllT hand, Canada possesses investments abroad totalling $1,571 luillintt, of which $4118 million consist 0f "direct invvsttnettts." Of the total “direct investtueut" in Canada front llri- ti-h mid fin-vigil sources in 1936, amounting to $1.108 million.

The people of Canada are wlse enough to know that tn the freedom of the press they have the greatest. safe- guard of their rights and liber- ties which exlst in English-speak- ing countries.

undeclared utar against China ls no doubt intended to give the lin- pression of national untty and discipline — or even n certain amount of enthusiasm. if there are those who may be simple enough to believe all the Japanese propa- gandists have to say. While the people ‘behind the guns" are frantically working to keep pace wlth the ever-growing demands of the rupaclous mechanism of war economy, they have had at. the same time. to stlll further tighten their own belts as 1t were, to cut: clown as drastically as possible on home consumption. According to the propagandlsts. there is not the slightest discontent ln Japan. Clttes and towns are continuously beflagged and covered wlth bunt- ing to glve the impression that all ls well with the "China Campaign," but the parades and demonstra- tions held by school children and other sections of the clvllian pop- ulation look far too well organlz- ed to be spontaneous.-—Hong Kong Press. ‘ Curiously little ll being suld these clays by the so-calied "re- formers’ of the capltallst system about the need for reform, now long overdue, of corporation and company finance.

In some of the United Slates the law requires that every drlvr-r must stop when he comes to a grade crossing. When the law ls enforced. the results have been ex- cellent.

It. ls sometimes difficult to tell “heme;- 1; patient is ltysterlcalor having an epileptic attack u_t f1t_.

Canadian Fur Production

(Telegraph Journal)

With a ntunber 0f fOX 571°“ scheduled at various Dfillllﬂl" the Maritime Provinces, rfur warmers and dealers will be interested in the record of develnptnent of fur phxluctlon tn Canada in recent

rs.

Wheat-dint; w figures M01111? compiled. the value of raw fur production ln the Dominion in 1937 was the ltlghest in the last eight years, and for the second year ln succession about forty P91‘ cent of the total came from amm- als bred and rat-cal in captivity. The balance came from Lrztppers. For the year etitlcd with Julie. 1937, the total value of pelts sold was $l6.666.000 as compared wlth $l5.4ti4,000 in 1936. and $12,843.- 000 ln 1935. The 1937 record is highest of any since 1929 when a value of $l8.745.000 was reached.

Almost. two-thirds of the ilelts marketed last, year were from silver fox, muskrat and mink. fox- es leading all others with u value of nearly $6,000,000, the otllrr two species competing closelyfor sec- and place, muskrnt. with $2.249,- 000 and mink with $2,240,000.

Although the largest. colttrlbu- tlon value was made by the silver fox, the ltlght-st price single pelt W35 that. of the fisher n1. $52.85, wlth the lynx second at $34.53. The average price of silver fox “'11s $29.29. Of the fl. 5,137 pelts were taken in 1936-37 with a totul value of $271482, Of the lynx l7,- 538 were taken wit-h a value of $605,491. In point of total tralue the ermine rattkntl fourth at $816,- 879; and was followed by red fox 3716.152; beaver, $698.939; marten $642,307; lynx $605 491: patch or cross fox, $510182; coyote or iaralrle wolf. $458,489: squirrel, $386,743; fisher, $271,482; white f??? $271,238. and the ctter, $227.-
