.World Wool And _ ,1 Sheep Situation

I Canada, of course. is not a com- lpeglmr in the world's mutton trade, says the 14th Annual Market Re- view of the live stock and meat trade, published by the Dominion Depratmcnt of Agriculture. At the 581118 time Canada is a factor to the extcnt that any changes foi better or worse are reflected in the Canadian market. In so far as wool ‘ls concerned, Canada is a real fac- tor in the trade as o. whole, and the industry has beneflitcd in a marked degree from the recent improvement, in the consumption oi wool. Favourable lumbing sea- sons fn the world's major mutton and wool producing countries promise an appreciable increase in output during the ensuing season Conditions are particularly favour- able in Australia and New Zenlanrl- Improvement in the wool market ha; been almost spectacular and promises to continue. The advance in values nt wool sales early in 1934. added to the improvement in g-owers‘ returns from the industry and the appreciation in price com- blned with more favourable sca- sons, have brightened the situ- ation most rcmarkablyn

Cycles Of Grasshoppers

Associated with periods abundance of grasshoppers, the prairie chickens also reach their highest numbers at this time, due to the dry springs being favourable for the chicks and the abundant food supply for young grasshoppers, said Dr. Bird, 01' the Dominion Entomological Branch in a talk tto the Kinsman Club at Brandon, Man. The history of outbreaks of grasshoppers showed, he said. that they occurred in definite cycles which were Vaaociated with similar cycles of dry years. whether or not the dry periods be caused by sun spots. With that information in mind, it was to be expected that the present grasshopper outbreak might terminate in the next year or so. and that probably another outbreak would occur in 1943 or 1944. The methods of forecasting outbreaks by means of egg bed surveys were explained by Dr. Bird. and lll giving an outline of natural control factors as well as practical methods as practised at the present time, the fact was em- phasized that the first successful poisoning of grasshoppers was done by the late Mr. Criddle at Tees- bank in 1912. Since that time the early “Griddle mixture" has been adopted and modified by the var- ious provinces and states. At the present time, experiments were still being carried on with new baits In the hope of increasing the effl- ciency and cheapentng the general cost of grasshopper control.

Clover and Grass Seed Prospects

Alsike also sold at a much higher price due to the short crop in Ontario in I933.

Late reports would indicate that there is practically no csrnyover of any of these seeds from the selling season to the spring of i934. Also. owing to the intens vely cold winter 1033-34, rod clover, alslki. alfalfa and even timothy in some localities oi Eastern Canada have been badly injured. so that seed prospects for ch15 ppm appeal‘ very poor indeed.

THE GREAT

Anewatarioaeintheoan political flrmament when, Judge John B. D. ihompson, of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotla, “willed the lwrtfolio of" Minister 0f Justice in the Dominion govern- ment.

senator Miller was, I believe, the first to mention Mr. Thompson's name to Sir John. Ha was backed up by my old chief of the Mall, Mr. Martin J. Griffin, then par- liamentary librarian, NLr, Robert Bedsewlck. Deputy Minister of Jus- tice (later Mr. Justice Sedgewick °f m9 Bllllreme Court of Canada), ""1 my 01d colleague, Mr. George Johnson. Dominion statistician, W110 Preceded mo a: Ottawa cor- respondent for the Mail. All these Eflmemeh were in constant touch with the Prime Minister. and were united in their recommendations.

Sir John Maodonald accepted the views of these gentlemen, and al- t-houBh he had never met Judge Thmlllison he invited him to accept the portfolio of Justice 1n the min- l-itry- When he came to Ottawa to assume the duties of Minister of Just-ICE he met Sir John Macdonald for the first time. He had been "discovered."

M00118)’. March 22, 1886. was a melinrable day in the Canadian House of Commons. Few seats on the floor were vacant, and the gal- leries were packed. The occasion was the debut in the Federal arena of Mr. Thompson. the new Min- ister. Riel had paid the penalty of his crime on the scaffold at Regina the previous November, and as s. result the province of Quebec, which foi- many years had constituted lt- self the backbone of Sir John's sup- port, was in a ferment. Passions had been aroused by flamboyant national appeals from scores of Liberal craters. and even from some Conservatives. It was declar- ed on all hands that the govern- ment was doomed. The debate had commenced on March 11, on the famous motion of Mr. Landry.

“That this House feels it is its duty to express its deep regret that. the sentence of death pas- sed upon Louis Riel, convicted of high treason, was allowed t0 be carried into execution."

Many of Sir John's Quebec sup- porters were wobbly. But the French-Canadian ministers stood true, although for weeks they had been urged to tender their resig- nations. The only doubtful man at first was sir Hector Langevin. who made the mistake oi assuring some of his friends that the sentence on Riel would be commuted. Later he recalled this promise, but. it had served to engender the passions of the people of Quebec.

I had the rare privilege of list- ening to that debate in its entirety. Mr. Laurler, in the course of his speech, which was remarkable for the beauty and purity of its lang- uage, characterized the execution of Riel as “the sacrifice of a life. not to inexorable justice, but to bit- ter passion and revenge." But, powerful as was Mr. Laurierh ap- piml to the French-Canadians, they would not budge.

Sir Hector Langevin, once more himself. Mr. Chapleau and Sir Adolphe Caron all spoke during the following week in defence 0f the government, and the debate N0- ceeded until Friday. the 19th, when Mr. Blake took the floor. He con- tended that the trial had not been a fair one, that the choice of the magistrate had been unfortunate. and that the evidence and facts of the case proved Riel to be insane. He scored the government for its disregard of the jury's recommend- ation to rnemy and enlarged upon

hanged. He lnstancod the cases of John Brown and Lord George Gor- don, quoted Mr. Gladstone in con- nection with the Fenlans and the murder of constable Brett, and gave opinion of the English Commission on Capital Punishment, which de- clared that “In cases of treason ac- companied by overt acts of rebel- lion, assassination or other viol- ence, the extreme penalty must be maintained." In concluding his John said: , "I think, sir, it. was absolutely necessary for us to show to those Indians, to every section of the country, to every class of the popu- lation, that the power of the gov- ernment in the northwest was strong, not only to protect, but to punish as well; and in the admini- stration of justice. with regard to those territories in particular, it was absoluiey necessary that the deter- rent effect of capital punishment should be called into play. I am not disposed, remote as that ter- ritory is. strong as the calls are for vigorous government there. and for the enforcement of every branch oi the law. to be inhuman or unmer- ciful in the execution of the pen- alties which the law pronounces. but in relation to men of this class. men who time and again are candi- dates for the extreme penalty, men who have despised mercy when it was given to them before. I would give the answer given to those who pro- posed to abolish capital punishment in France, ‘Vcry well. but let the assassins begin)“ Admittedly this closing citation. from the works of lhc well known French lltternteur, Alphonse Karr. was a most telling one. climaxinq. as it did. a remarkable address. The cheers which rang out from the Conservative benches. and I am afraid from some of the spectators in the galleries, were an indlcailon that a new figure had arisen in Canadian polities. It was a magni- ficent triumph for Mr. ‘Thompson. When the vote was taken three days later the government was susialn- ed by 146 to 42.

own race and religion differed from him; it was his conviction that the sentence should have been impris- onment for life; that by Riel's ex- ecution a great blow had been iii- flictcd upon the administration of justice, and that the government was responsible for it. Mr. Blake concluded his remarks after mid- night on this particular FridaY. and this gave the Minister of Jus- tice an lnestimuble advantage.
