I IONUHENTAL REPORT

“Monumental in its proportions and hlcorporating rocomnlon‘ tiona fink, if hllplomontod by legislation, would oltsblish Canada's ‘new deal I! bulbous!" is the description walled by tho Canadian Press to In report of tho R-oyal Commission I Ill Buying which was tabled yostorclay in tho House of Commons i In. B. B. Hanson, Minister of Prado and Commerce.

Regulation of industry as a whole by a government board, with more lrklgent control over various branches of industry chiefly so for as it relates to primary products within the compass of the Market- ing Act, is described as the keynote of the report. ‘ ‘

The whole body of Canadian in-1 lustrlal activity, however, is placed under tho microscope, agencies op- erating towards its present ailment are detected and the commission Ilakes strong recommendations de- signed to eliminate them. Princip- ally the commissioners analyse and comment on operations of those cor- porations, investigation of which was lhoir main business. But in the pro- grou of their inquiry they accumu- btod such o. vast, amount of evidence covering practically ail aspects of kldustry in general that they em- brace the whole economic fabric of Canada in their suggested solutions.

Tho summary o! tho Commission's Vfidii-lgs in today's Guardian will be road with great interest, especially b! OlI basic producers with regard go whose interests many far-reach- ig luflostions are made.

In snaking this point-which no one disputes — our contemporary takes s good deal of liberty with facts. When it argues that the trans- Oanaela highway is being construc- ted "of the same type" of material as tho so-callod McIntyre highway. lt is not dealing in facts at all. If it had applied the comparison to the land-asphalt experimental work on tho secondary roads. it would be nearer the mark. The trans-Canada highway is an asphaltic black-base pavement of permanent construc- tion, far superior and more durable than the McIntyre highway. All- other striking difference is that the sand asphalt McIntyre highway cost $2.09 per square yard, as against c110 per square yard for the super- ior usphaltic black-base hiihwai’ built by the allegedly extravagant Conservatives.

In other words, if the average man with three drinks under his belt is driving at forty miles an hour when danger pops up ahead of him, he will travel from five to eight feet nearer to that danger before deciding what to do about it than he would have travelled if he had not taken the drinks.

The ArchivistsLife

(Vancouver Province)

A detective has an interesting life. He works in mysteries and sol- Ves problems. An archivist is a de- fective working with historical rather than contompor-ly myster- ies. He is s. treasure hunter, too. Only the treasure he seelm consists of documents rather than gold. It was the fate of Canada that great masses of tho documents con- cerning the country's early history disappeared overseas, ~ Governors, intendants, bishops, soldiers and priests came to the colony 1n the French time and when they re- turned to France they took bones of documents with them. It was the same in the time of the colonial days under the British. Governors. administrators and soldiers took away the papers that concerned them.

Or many of them did. A great many of these papers are still in existence in France and Great Brit- ain. and it has been the business and pleasure of the archivist to trace them down and. if it is impos- sible to ffl the olginals, nf, least to get copies.

Such has lteen the success of Dr. Dcu~l1tv and his scents in this re- snsct that tho archives bulding in Ottawa has become a centre of. study for historical students from all cvcr the continent. and tilcn! stems little doubt that, as the mass- cs cf documents gatlrred together are studied and rnll-‘tz-d, fmyrrtant pieces of the fabric of Canadian history will have to be rowoven.
