5EUSINESS EXPANSION

' n: March letter of the oas- bdlen Bank of Commerce i: in line ‘with report; from other banks and lending financial, commercial and industrial organizations in 1min: gqntlhugq “pension of business in the first two month of this year on an even greater scale than for the later months of 1933. The 00m- merce letter says the industrial ad- vance signalled e month ﬂco ha: ssoeeded all expectations end the uily question has been whether ~production lg not outrunnlng con- gmnption. On This point the letter gay; all the eildence available is that production has been geared to an actual consumer demand.

In support of this new the Bank btber quotes the most recent in- formation on industrial develop- ments from OmCIB-l as u-ell as some private sources, notably in regard in the steel and lumber industries. Favorable reports, it is said, 0on- tinue to be received from the see- ondary industries, for while e set- back is reported in some lines, ex- pBJlMOIl is known to have taken place in others, such as the textile trades’, and the ﬁrst sign; of a re- vival in certain capital-goods in- dustria, machine manufacturing, for example, are ‘how to be noted. All major classes of exports are of higher volume as well as of value, the increases in forest products and miners-ls being especially notice- able.

"nears AND MOISTURE

All interesting and informative pamphlet entitled "Forest Facts" bu been issued by the Forest Ser- uioo of the Department of the In- terior. In a section dealing with forests and climate it is stated:

Ilbrests have an equalizing effect on extremes of temperature. In the summer the alr in and above s forest is cooler than that over open ground. The lowering of the marl- mum temperature as much as 20 to Ii degrees F. has been recorded, Ind this influence ls liotlccablc for A distance of 5,000 feet above the forest. The minimum temperatures, on the other grandma lwm‘ in the forest, the extreme range being greatly decreased, and the mesh sn- nuel temperature decreased by sev- eral degreee.

Numerous observations in Europe conducted over long periods show

that there ls more precipitation on forested than on similarly situated

unforested areas. At Nancy, France, the records of thirty-three you: show 23 per cent mom precipitation m forested areas.

1t in cstimatcrl that four-ﬁfths of the vapour in the air is evaporated from the oceans, but only ‘l per cent of this is precipitated on the lbnd. This falls near the sea coasts. The interior of the continents is elariust entirely dependent on mois- ture evsporsted from the snll and inland water surfaces end that transpired by various forms of veg- etation. Trees. being the largest form of vegetstion, with greater leaf surface, transpire more moisture than gram, shrubs, or other plant for-Ins. lf it were not for the for- Qte in the Rocky mountains, and h the north, east, and south, the interior of North America would be very much drier than it is.

The lower temperature and in- creased humidity over s forest in- duce: precipitation, and even com- paratively small areas of u few equen miles have been found to have an Appreciable local effect.

The mechanical obstruction to lie winds by the trees induces pre- cipitation, and the greet area of exposed surface presented by the bevee, twig. and branches catch a krge amount of moisture in the ﬁrm of dew.

CANADA'S LEAD

Canadians, irremeetlve of poli- tics, must feel a glow of pride when they read eucb comments as the following from the New ma. Evening Poet:

“Canadian be-nklng showed it-e heels to American banking during the depression. Not a bank failed. Not a depositor lcet a penny. Nvw Canada tskee the lead again. rt plans a. new Government-controlled central bank of issue. All political petris: unite in the propose-l tn have the nation manage the nat- ion‘: credit structure-a problem we have not even begun to hoe in this country.

SOUR GRAPES

when the bill for the creation of e Canadian central bank appear- ed in the House of Commons, the Opposition leader first ultlclned the measure and then claimed that he had suggested it in the first place. This line of argument will not interest many people. A corru- pondent writes to an Ontario ex- change on thi: ieeue. Under the caption of "Sour Grapes“ be says: "I have Just finished reading the lucid statement of the Hon. B. N. Rhodes on introducing the bank of Canada. bill and am e bit bewilder- ed by the following passage from the speech of the Rt. Hon.
