Then And Now

The unexcelled opportunities and resources of Canada formed the theme of many eloquent speeches and articles in connection with the re- cent celebration of Dominion Day. Meanwhile, from the International Labour Office at Geneva comes the disheartening news that Canada was among the countries reporting increase in un- employment for the quarter ending June 30. This at a time when large decreases in un-

’_ employment were listed for thirteen other coun- ‘tries, including the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Den- mark, Norway and Poland.

What has our Government at Ottawa been

. ‘doing to grapple with this problem? Its policy of drift is revealed all too plainly by the mount- ing, unemployment figures. Yet there is no doubt as to the wealth of resources and op- portunities for employment which this country affords.

To get A true measure of the incompetency of our government lcatlers in meeting present day problems, let tls glance at this picture of pioneer difficulties and achievements, as related by Prof. Arthur S. l\Im-ton, head of the De- partment of History in the University of Sask- atchewan, in a new history of the Canadian West:

“At the beginning of the two centuries cov- ered by this volume,” writes Prof. Morton, “the vast expanse of the continent of North America between Labrador and the Pacific Ocean was hidden to European eyes as behind a veil. The Search for the Western Sea first broke through the veil and brought the \Vhite Mail into a new and undreamt-of world. That search issued in the discovery of the fur resources of the con- tinental forest belt. The solution of the problem of transportation by the adoption of the In- dians’ canoe—assisted by the increasing demand for furs, due, for the most part, to the vogue of beaver hats, and implemented by the rising price of peltry-—enabled the traders to penetrate far- lher, and yet farther, westward, till the Rocky Mountains and finally the Pacific Ocean were reached. From 1821 that great fur company, the Adventurers of England trading into Hudson’s Bay, having absorbed all its rivals, in the name of Britain held a continental domain at peace under its mild paternal sway. From the very nature of things, only the fur resources of the region were envisaged. The agricultural wealth of the prairies was known, and the possibility of vast mineral wealth was surmised, but neither the one nor the other could be exploited till the

roblcm of transportation should be solved.

ailways transformed the situation. They gave lie Canadians the hope of amassing wealth in the wheat fields of what was called the Fertile Belt. They offered the colonists of British Col- umbia an escape from the geographical and cc- onomic isolation which barred them from pros- perity. They made possible the union of all the British colonies in North America in a Domin- ion from sea to sea, Through them, the wealth drawn by Canada from the prairie soil, and the store of gold and precious metals hewn from the shaggy mountains, are poured into the lap of _a nation.”

As we reflect on this great heritage of pioneer achievement, can we accept the defeatist attitude of our government leaders with rcgird to unemployment and other youth problems?

The Dire Alternatives ' leoause there has been in Europe an oe- easional lull in the openly aggressive tactics of the dictatorships, there is a willing disposition to 3" regard the situation as one in which equilibrium has been reached; the world is to go on from -- here, it is assumed, in a state of armed peace which will permit “business as usual.” But this. insists the Winnipeg Free Press, is far from being the case. Fortunately, voices of authority , and -knowledge give warming of the dangers of the present situation and the urgent need for courses tending towards their removal, if catastrophies which now threaten are not to be- come inevitable. At the meeting in Copenhagen of the Inter- national Chamber of Commerce, stress was laid upon an aspect of the situation that must never be lost sight of: The impossibility of any im- provement in world economic conditions, but in- stead a progressive deterioration, while the pre- sent international tension continues. "This wan- oonprsparation for war means world economic 1': disaster” said Thomas J. Watson. of New York. ' , _, £h:n_rctiring president. J. B. Condliffe of The : ‘ don School of Economics, long on the ec- onomic staff of the League of Nations and the , _ for some years of the —Legauc’s invalu- able World Survey, told the Conference that all “hope of worldwide economic co-operation may be ubancfonedaa long as the present political ten- " not relieved.” It is to be noted that nei- ther Mr Watson nor Dr. Comlliffc are saying ' 4. it ‘1 that will hringthese disasters-— V’ yhpoitlf out that the present preparations for ‘the result of existing tension, will in‘ them- ‘lle rtiinous ttrthe world.

desire to avert it, is first to prevent the present situation from deteriorating into war; and then to so relieve international tension as to permit the gradual return of a measure of co-operation. making for economic recovery. The means by which these essential ends are to be attained are being discussed in Great Britain with candor and directness. In a recent debate in the House of Lords there was both agreement and dis- agreement between Lord Cecil, the staunchest of League advocates and Lord I-ialfiax, the Secre- tary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord Halifax disagreed with Lord Cecil that “the authority and prestige of the League could be immediately re-cstablishcdf’ but he accepted the principle embodied in the Convenant.lGreat Britain’slpolicy as announced by him, is one of creating an al- liancc to meet force with force, looking forward to the rc—establishmcnt of the League.

At the British Legion conference in London the other day the most enthusiasm was voiced by the veterans when a letter from an anony- mous German cx-service man was mentioned by General Sir Ian Hamilton, president of the Metropolitan section of the legion, who said: “The letter is from a. very prominent German, and I received it in a curious way. I am not go- ing to give his name, because he might get his head cut off. The writer stated that he would never forget the splendid work the legion had done in cooperation with German ex-servicemen. "Bad times may last some time,” he wrote, “but good-will and common sense have always conquered. I am thoroughly convinced that the good work we have achieved for peace and un- derstanding has not been in vain.

“Don't your think it would be good if the leading men of our great organizations would keep up a certain personal contact in spite of all difficulties? When the desire to find agreement becomes stronger valuable time will be lost if all threads have been interrupted. The greatest chances have come in history just when pessi- mists and sceptics have used the word 'im‘ possible,‘ which ex-servicemen do not know.’

a in -u 4: When the famous Scots author, John Buchan (equally celebrated in public life as Lord Twcedsmuir, our Governor-General), first em- barked on what was, for him, a new line of fic- tion in The Thirty-Nine Steps, he said he did so because he had ‘long cherished an affection for that elementary type of tale which Americans call the “dime novel" and which we know as the “shocker”—the romance where the incidents defy the probabilities, and march just inside the borders of the possible.’ The story in which Buchsn first introduced his famous character, Richard Harmay, the Thirty-Nine Steps is to’ provide the next of the serials that have proved so popular among BBC listeners at Home and overseas. It has been adapted for broadcasting by Winifred Carey, and will be produced from Davcntry in six weekly episodes. Fittingly, the broadcast version of the story, much of which has a Scottish setting, will come from the Scot- tish Regional studios of the BBC, and will be played by 'a Scottish cast. Jack Livesey, who ap- peared with Robert Donat and Madeleine Car- roll in the British film of the novel, will play Richard Hannay throughout, and James Mc- Kechnie will be responsible for production. a It :-

Vibration of a protoplasmic jelly inside the “sinews" of muscles is the secret of strength, ac- cording to Dr. Eben J. Carey, dean of the Mar- quette University School of Medicine, an au- thority on muscles, nerves and bones, who re- ported his discovery to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The proto- plasmic jelly fills the thread-shaped cells that link together to form the "sinetvs” or bundles of muscles. How this jelly vibrates to cause the contraction and expansion of muscles has been revealed by slices of muscle tissues, each about one-thousandth of an inch thick. Although start- ing from scattered points. they synchronize. To the eye, they looklikc alternate dark and light cross bands. over the entire muscle. These cross bands have been known since 1665, when they were discovered with aid of,thc newly in- vented miscmscope. They were thought to be membranes. Most text books on physiology still consider them to be fixed parts of the muscle. Dr. Carey’: work shows that they really are optical illusions. Their positions are not fixed. They are merely the appearance-of the vibrating protoplum at,poinu where A it gathers in «knots,
