Early gamdiul, sortie-r, ;_'[L'\\' their oivntwme require- nrgmg, bur the industry that promised to develop 75 or 1,00 years ago was stifled when overseas fibre supplies tloniinnted the world market at relatively chcup prices. Difficulties of_ produc- tion, such as retting it—that is, exposing it to rot away non-fibrous material — have been studied an! overcome. A small plot of hemp, grown at the central experimental farm in Ot- ttiwzi, was recently tested by manufacturers rind approved for processing.

In i940, the question of growing hemp in Canada was raised when an inquiry came from the British government. This was in the form of a suggestion that if 50o tons of hemp were available in Canada, the British fibre control would be interested in buying it. But nothing came of it at that time.

The economics of hemp production have been vastly altered by developments in the war since December, 194i. (fanadian production in the past has been the true hemp, much different from manila hemp and the same as grown in Russia and other European countries. True hemp produces a soft fibre compared with manila and sisal, much better for many twine and rope uses but niucli more expensive than man- ila. It nus uncctinomic when Eact Indian sup- plies of hard fibre were available. But the cx- tent to which essential demands now depend on North American production can be measured roughly b_\' the U. S. crop plan, whichis to be increase from 36,000 acres in r942 to 300,000 acres and create hemp-processing facilities of 1 mill to every 4,000 acre;

All these details point to prospects for hemp growing in Canada next year. Where production will be undertaken is not disclosed, but upwards 0f 3.000 acrfs 0f hemp were produced in western Ontario during the last war, and after the wai- hemp was grown on the Portage plains in Mani- toba.

As n. source of marihuana, hemp production was prohibited in Canada in August, !938_ Call- ed hashish in the Orient, hemp was placed undoi- rigid control by an amendment to the Opium "P1 Narcotic Drug Alli» which gave the narcotics division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police complete power of licensin hemp production. N0 change has been made in this arrangement since r938.

The First Objective

YTherc is a great deal of talk and even acrimon- ious dispute, about postwar objectives. A socialist writer in England recently attributed Mr. Chur- chill's seeming lack of interest in this topic to l feeling that victory is his sole task, with the peace and post-ivar world for men who will succeed him. But in lfis broadcast a few days ago the British Prime Minister gave another explana- tion. "Certainly," he warned, "most painful experiences would lie before us if we allowed ourselves to l"(‘lll.\’ our exertions, to weaken the disciplined unity and order of our array, if we fell l0 qnrirrrI/iug about ‘wlltlf we should do with our victory brfore victory was won."

And again:

"I should hope that . . . we shall be able to make l)(‘ll('I' solutions, more far-reaching and more Listing, of the problems of Europe at the end of this war than was possible a quarter of a century ago.

“It is not much use pursuing these specula- tions further zit this time, for no one can possibly know who! Ihr slrils of Iinrn/ic or the world u/ill be relic/z Iln- .\'u:i mid Iinrcisl fyrannie; ar; fin- ally broken."

This, surely, suggests the Ottawa journal, is common sc-nsc. err-n though many of good heart and brain srcni lo tlisngrcc with it. '
