Apparently satisfied with the work of his crew last night, Cap- tain Langsdorff and his men setted down smillngly today at. the Buenos Aires naval arsenal for a sojourn of indeterminate length.

Langsdorff himself had nsstmblrd the explosives and directed the filling of the fuel tanks for the ‘ast great blast that was to "de- stroy all" on orders of Adolf Hi".- ler. The Captain carried the cable which detonated the charges.

Behind two sand banks off Montevideo today lay the British cruisers, Ajax, Cumberland and apt up their vigil lest. the Graf Spec venture to sea.

Tonight the question of whether the Captain and his officers and men would be interned by Argen- tina remained to be settled. 1t was apparent they went there in the hope they would be treated as ship-wrecked sailors rather than belligerents.

One high official said the crew would be interned but the Gennan officers ‘might be granted their freedom If they would pledge per- sonally not to participate further in the war.

Oevtilblinient Of Four Industrial Areas Suggested

WINNTPDG. Dec. ill-IO?)- Development of four great indus- trial areas in Canada during the war was suggested by Hon. J. G. Gardiner, Federal Minister of Agri- culture. in a. luncheon address t0- day to members of the Winnipeg Board of ‘Prade.

Manufacturing could be estab- lished on suoh a vast scale by these industrial centres that Canadian agriculture would enjoy a bTS iii- vernal market. Mr. Gardiner said. The area»; named by the Federal Minister were tihe Maritime Prov- inces. the St. Lawrence River Bas- ln eittendinz as far west as Windsor and probably northward along Lake Huron, the area from Fort William to Winnipeg. stretching from the United States boundary north to Hudson Bay and westward into Saskatﬂhewan. and the area from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast. He also suggested a possible filth area, beginning at Flln Flori. Man, and extending into Saskatchewan through Prince Albert to the foot- hm;

These areas are suited for lndi-s- try because of their natural re- sources and power, he declared. Reopening of manufacturing plants. closed down in the Marl- time Privinces. should br- po=slbTe through the ease with which water power could be brou~l1t to them.
